Volume 1, Chapter 64: Mrs. Zhou's Son's Birthday Banquet

The evening breeze was gentle, blowing through the hair of the two figures. Sitting by the window, they exchanged no further words, yet their auras intertwined so closely that they seemed inseparable, leaving a subtle fragrance of serenity hanging in the air. Amidst the hustle and bustle of mortal existence, inner peace remains the rarest and most precious treasure of all.

"She wants to see me? You don't think she's trying to trick me into going over there just to curse me out, do you?"
Shu Ya received a phone call from the police, informing her that Shu Fen wanted to meet her.
Lu Tianhai was somewhat disappointed, but still suggested that Fang Cheng could use his free time to go and check it out.
"What's wrong with that? If anyone harbors greedy thoughts, I will investigate it to the very end." With these words, the grandfather swept his gaze across everyone present, instantly extinguishing any nascent thoughts of greed among them.

Chen Shangding was, after all, a man of some reputation within the logistics sector, particularly in bulk cement transport. His friends in the circle were all engaged in the same industry.
Ning Xiu’s Fazheng was already fully refined, and not just one copy of it was maxed out, so this batch of grand strategy card packs was of no practical use to him whatsoever.
The path to greatness is paved with bleached bones! Hao Yi understood this principle well—the higher the martial arts realm of a world, the cheaper human life became.
"Heh, no matter where you stay, your attitude must be proper. At the very least, you need to let people know you are a member of that dormitory. Besides, since there are vacant beds in the room, it would be a waste not to use them," Fang Cheng said with a smile.
Anyway, gunpowder could now achieve maximum lethality against magical beasts through enchantment, meaning they weren't entirely without a fighting chance against them.
"Sister, you haven't been eating properly lately, so I specially made some porridge for you. Do try it while it's hot, little sister," Hu Rou'an said, completely shedding her usual overbearing and difficult demeanor.
As the team captain, he could frequently communicate and spar with Yang Zhijian. If he were stripped of the captaincy, once training ended, unless Yang Zhijian actively sought him out, he would rarely have the opportunity to spar with him again, a prospect that deeply dissatisfied him.
Hua Yunfeng also wore a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth. Mount Shu needed dogs, true, but Mount Shu only needed obedient dogs! A dog that might turn around and bite its master at any moment was better off dead.
"Watch me!" Sun Yizhou picked up his machete, climbed onto the reef, and began digging into the crevices of the rock, twisting the blade around inside.
Meanwhile, the helmsman kept rolling his eyes restlessly, deep in thought about something.
"I can cook some home-style dishes, but there are no spatulas here, so I suppose I won't be able to manage," Chen Qiaoen looked around at the others and said helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Yu, we haven't seen each other since the Battle of the Gods. I have missed you dearly." Emerging from the spacetime gate was an elderly Daoist priest, attired in a purple-gold bagua robe and holding a banana-leaf fan, exuding an extraordinary aura of transcendent grace and a high-master demeanor.
As for why they were meeting at the gymnasium, Lin Feng wanted Fan Shaohuang to demonstrate a few routines of martial arts on the spot to gauge his true strength.
"General, won't this provoke them? If they stab us in the back, the consequences will be devastating for us," Indian General Galava said in a deep, grave voice.
Under the guidance of the priest, the wedding ceremony was just one step away from completion, the mutual vows having already been exchanged. When asked whether Condition Wang was willing, the moment hung in the balance.
The lingering force of the palm strike, still unspent, crashed heavily upon the Four Immortals. Cultivating immortality is arduous, and attaining the True Immortal realm even more so. Unfortunately, serving different masters, the Four Immortals had their purple mansions shattered by the overwhelming palm force, turning to ashes even before their true spirits could escape.
A short while ago, although they had visited this place, Orochimaru and the others hadn't properly examined the seal of the Ten-Tails. But viewed now from this perspective...
Qi Tianshou watched Lady Yang depart for a long while before finally turning his gaze toward Yang Ye and Ling Ji.
Tang Yi spoke with utmost solemnity as he accepted the three items from her hands, then slowly squatted down and paused right beside the bomb.
