Volume 1, Chapter 46: Can you be a little gentler? I'm afraid of pain (Super Sweet)

"Wanqing!"

Qi Xiuyu roared aloud, his outstretched hand brushing past Xie Wanqing's skirt, his heart filled with bitter regret.

At that moment, a white figure flashed by. A gust of fierce wind struck Xie Wanqing sideways, sending her tumbling into the arms of nearby servants.

Qi Xiuyu hurried forward.

"Husband!"

Surrounded by a familiar scent, Xie Mingyue turned her head to see Qi Jingshan draped in a crane-1loak, gazing ahead with a detached expression.

The white figure struck true on the first attempt and retreated behind Qi Jingshan.

This was someone he had brought with him.

Having failed to end her life and rescued amidst the flustered panic, Xie Wanqing immediately threw herself into Qi Xiuyu's arms and wailed bitterly.

It looked precisely like a clumsy theatrical performance.

Yet, some people are destined never to be moved.

The anticipated retaliation from Uryu Ishida did not arrive as scheduled; instead, Rukia grew even more silent. While she masked it well when staying with the others, Wuyue could clearly sense the extreme unease hidden beneath her Gigai.

Before the match, Luo Tianhuan decided to become a sniper, but that did not mean he had abandoned his dual-sword style. Luo Yiling chose the dual swords on his behalf, allowing Luo Tianhuan to switch from a sniper to dual swords at any critical moment, catching his opponents completely off guard.

Everyone subconsciously looked toward Lord Zhu, and upon seeing his gentle smile, could not help but sigh in admiration.

"Who knows? Probably just wanted to suck up to Professor Ge." When saying this, the man involuntarily rolled his eyes, appearing genuinely disdainful of her.

He had invited Elder Qu to dinner under his own name, but when Elder Qu arrived, only Qu Xueer was there.

With such a major incident occurring, he had to keep his composure. Straightening his shoulders, he immediately hurried out and stepped onto the porch. Looking up at the person outside, he had no idea what to feel inside.

At this moment, his mind was in turmoil, and he no longer knew how to think, nor how to face the man standing before him.

A cold sweat broke out on Ken Kaneki's forehead. *Better that I wrong the world than have the world wrong me*—such thoughts were fine to keep to oneself, but how could anyone voice them out loud?

The competition map was a desolate city half-buried in yellow sand, and the weather conditions were far from favorable, with a sandstorm actively blowing. While unfavorable to both sides, the disadvantage was far greater for Moyan, the sniper.

"Focus on your own duties and do not follow the crowd in blindly stirring up trouble!" With that, Zhang Jiaoliang hung up the phone. The rumors currently circulating in Huanghai that he would be unable to return showed just how profound an impact this "admonitory talk" from the central authorities had on him.

Even if he lacked such ambitions at present, she knew that a man's ambition is boundless; whenever the need arose, he would strive to advance.

This was truly formidable—he was one of the Five Elders, a figure on par with Southern Guanyin, Western Tathagata, Northern Xuanwu, and Central Zhenyuan.

Krey turned his head to look at the sea in the distance—the fog had risen to the edge of the deck and seemed about to swallow them whole. Once that happened, the enemy would surely attack, leaving them very little time for preparation.

The mercenaries quietly arrived outside the hall, dispersed, and surrounded the entire structure with bows and arrows raised.

Feng Wuyi had never been married and did not understand the local customs, assuming that as a guest, wearing red clothes might bring good luck to ward off misfortune, so he gave it no further thought.

For the sake of this family and for them, his mother had exhausted herself in mind and body, yet he had argued so bitterly with his mother all for the sake of Shen Mingzhu.

Right at that moment, the ape demon cultivator, who had previously been lying on the ground, regained consciousness. Struggling to sit up against the wall and watching Liu Lang wave a broken sword around blindly, he could not help offering a reminder.

Meanwhile, Barnes was also struck by two earth-attribute blade auras from the opponent. He managed to muster his battle qi to catch them with his shield, but his forward momentum had already been abruptly halted.

"This child understands," Chu Zhi replied. Cao Yansong looked at him affectionately from the side before thanking Chu Luo for his congratulations.

Once the lights were turned off for sleep that night, I used the [Soul Departure] technique to project my spirit and wander throughout the entire detention center.
