The biting chill of winter gradually faded, replaced by a touch of warm sunlight that illuminated the heart. Having overstayed my welcome at Brother Zhexi’s place for several days, I felt too embarrassed to remain any longer. Seeing Uncle Han head off to work and knowing Brother Zhexi had classes, I decided it was time to slip away.

"Big sister, we’ll finally be able to eat the New Year’s pig this year!" That evening, Sister Li Yue returned with Yuejiao after gathering hogweed. She mixed it with bean dregs, simmered a full pot of pig feed, and poured it into the wooden trough.

Since one intends to employ someone, one must accept them in their entirety. Compared to outward appearances, Cai Xu valued inner will and integrity, shaped by the values he had cultivated in another world.

The phone in my pocket rang. I assumed it was my brother calling to console me, but upon seeing the caller ID, I decisively hung up. After all, he was the primary instigator of this situation; if not for him, my brother would never have returned to America, and I would not be bearing this unmerited disgrace.

"Brother, how about that? Who would have thought Brother Tianjie was so formidable? You’ve finally met your match!" Lu Zhen said, looking overjoyed, as if this were even more pleasing than seeing his own brother, Lu Bu, emerge victorious.

"Why should I give it to you? You want to destroy the evidence? Don't even think about it!" Liu Yinzhu glared at Sister Li Yue, her eyes filled with suspicion and defiance.

Humanity had only tacitly accepted Mars' belonging to the TPC because they could not defeat them. Furthermore, the TPC later terraformed Mars to be just like Earth; such technology made it impossible for humanity to even dream of catching up. With technology like that, there was no need to invade Earth.

Because Guandi Temple Village was located on the plains, there were no tea trees and no tea was produced locally, making it extremely difficult to procure any. Varieties like black or green tea were impossible to find in rural town markets, unless one traveled to the city.

Liu Dongxing was left between laughter and tears, shaking his head. He had not expected that by persuading his second uncle, Liu Fu, to resign from office, he would trigger such a massive reaction from the Gu family’s eldest branch. Reasonably speaking, the elder Master Gu had not seemed like such a muddled man before; how had he become so senseless now?

When Aiyun reached the hospital entrance, she paused to look back cautiously. Tao Aijia hurriedly ducked behind a thick plane tree.

These fourth-tier purple gold pills were far more effective than those of lower grades, saving two months of bitter cultivation, though their cost was many times higher.

"You, help me see... can he be saved?" The voice was hurried, yet thankfully, the speaker managed to finish the entire sentence with great effort.

The father and son discussed their plans until lunchtime. Knowing the nanny wasn't home and there would be nothing good to eat back at the house, they went to the cafeteria together, eager to fill their stomachs and begin executing their plan.

By the time Ling Haoxuan arrived at Ye Fenglin, Jiang Chun and the others were already at their breaking point. If not for the high performance of their mechs and the fact that they had avoided the control cabins during the attacks, they would not still be here.

Would Shi Tuo also be dragged into this struggle for the throne? Shuangzhi was quite worried about this.

The attending physician actually agreed with General Qi; his condition today was like night and day compared to yesterday.

The Xie family’s second branch had moved to the capital to settle down. The house they purchased was adjacent to hers—a gesture that was partly for show and partly an attempt to curry favor. The wives and daughters-in-law of the Xie family often came to keep Qi Shaofan company, though Madam Xie Lu had yet to make an appearance.

"What is your ultimate purpose in doing this to me? What exactly do you want?" The tone was dripping with sarcasm. Long Yuqi’s indifferent attitude completely defeated Gu Xiao’s confidence. Asking so many questions at once—wasn't it all the same meaning? What exactly did he mean?

Although Fang Ming hadn't heard everything Minellamia had said earlier, he knew he shouldn't forget the important parts.

Xin Jiangli’s eyes opened slightly. He reached out and gestured gently, and a one-foot-long fissure appeared out of thin air.

Cao Peng passed by the illusions, the jade marrow, and the murals. Without exception, everything collapsed in his wake.

Fang Ming was testing the waters. Huan Chi was different from the other teachers in the school. Regardless of cultivation level, it was the boy's intuition.

However, Cao Peng had learned the so-called "dual-tasking" technique. This ability was truly excellent; while it had some side effects, Cao Peng believed he could avoid them through constant improvement. Since it was such a good thing, he naturally had to continue.

Ji Hongyue thought to herself that she would play with them for three months at most before being found. She would certainly have to return to the Mingyue Kingdom then, so making them slaves for three months seemed just right.

"Oh, Grandfather, I’m praising you! I’m saying you have noble character and the demeanor of an immortal!" Wild Rose was an expert at spouting nonsense with a straight face.

Zi Mo spoke unhurriedly while unfastening the iron-green sword from his back and placing it on the round table.

The surrounding crowd was stunned by Baili Song’s words. According to him, Ye Tian’s body had never been in better shape, and all of this was thanks to Qin Yang.

His back was already drenched. The continuous fighting had consumed a vast amount of his internal energy; even though Xiao Yan and his companions weren't exceptionally strong, they were, after all, masters of the Profound Realm.

Xiang Qian watched Du Ran admit his mistake so sincerely, his mouth twitching involuntarily. He thought to himself: You kowtowed a bit too hastily; I didn't even say I was going to blame you. Forget about you—I’m afraid no one could keep an eye on the Young Master. Anyone who faces his endless stream of wild ideas knows exactly what it's like.

Qu Yu glanced at her face, which was indeed wreathed in smiles, and turned to call his servant. The servant followed orders and went to the backstage, where he found the apprentice of Old Man Zhang and handed over a gold ingot weighing two taels.

Even if one were to rebel against the imperial court, no one should dare to defy the world by rebelling against this millennium-old mountain gate. Even the Demonic Sect, which had once thrown the entire martial arts world into chaos, had never dared to make any major moves against the status of the Lingtian Sect.

They had originally calculated that they were only two hundred kilometers away, meaning they could reach the autumn hunting grounds in two or three days, leaving them three or four days to rest and recuperate.
