Chapter 62: First Snow

Su Jiu rested her chin on her crossed hands, her eyes narrowing slightly as she was clearly deep in thought.

Oranqu's strategy was precisely this: Benjamin possessed immense strength and heavy punches, but in close-quarters grappling, he could not bring his power to bear, much like swinging a thousand-jin iron hammer yet being unable to use it to swat a fly. As time dragged on, Benjamin was aging and lacking in endurance, while Oranqu was young with boundless stamina, meaning the outcome had actually been predetermined long ago.

Originally, she had intended to brush it off with some excuse about a stomachache, but she had not expected her brother to see right through it at a glance—no, rather, it was directly called out by her sadistic brother who had anticipated it all along.

"Master of the Manor, Sister Yinhuan, and Brother Zhou, do not be alarmed! With me here, these scoundrels dare not act presumptuously! I will surely protect Miss Liu and the Liu Family Manor!" Xue Rengui once again made a grandiose vow, though his gaze clearly carried a hint of unmatched confidence.

Yi Le was somewhat speechless, nodding perfunctorily. How did she expect him to watch this kind of anime seriously together with his younger sister?

The dark-faced sergeant did not dare to be negligent and immediately recounted everything about the young man coming to answer the recruitment call, detail by detail.

Namo Xiang realized what had happened and turned to walk back into the mining tunnel. That person looked at his retreating figure with a complicated expression. He felt a deep sense of gratitude toward the one who had escorted him out of the cave. Yet, in order to survive more steadily and even regain his freedom, he chose to keep this gratitude buried in his heart.

Amidst the surrounding spiritual light, Leia and Oranqu sat facing each other. Leia merely lowered her head to fiddle with the hem of her skirt, seeming weighed down by heavy thoughts.

Ever since the Dragon leaped over the Dragon Gate, Qiming Mountain was as good as having its threshold kicked flat. The Liulan River sliced Qiming Mountain in two like a saw, shaping the entire mountain into the form of a concave character, with the river water cascading down the depression.

Achieving this would still be quite easy for them. They did not believe that the defensive line before them was impregnable; they had plenty of ways to deal with it, and given the opportunity, they would undoubtedly breach the enemy's defense.

"I am fine. There is something much more important that must be said right now." The young girl shook her head stubbornly and was about to speak when the door opened.

"Oh, heading out?" Old Zhao greeted Old Fu with a chuckle, and as he passed Old Fu, he even winked at Li Qiang, who was following closely behind.

Finished speaking, Commander Li took several deep breaths in succession, feeling that his worldview had grown considerably fragile of late.

Regarding alchemy, Sun Siyao had arranged to meet with Duanmu Siming and Bian Mingxing, who had already set off for the Central State Sun family. Among the four major medicine-refining families, only the Li family was missing, and Lou Yi had yet to discover the whereabouts of the Li family.

Some say that the hardest smile of all to buy is forced, others say it is the grin of a prostitute, some mention licentious smiles, while others refer to the smiles of beauties. But in my opinion, the hardest smile to acquire is none of these silent grins; rather, it is the smile born from heartfelt appreciation and gratitude.

From beginning to end, Ye Feng had not released any primordial energy, relying solely on the footwork of the Dipper-Shifting Stars and the sheer physical strength of his body.

"Talk of seniors or not, I'll be sending you off to meet King Yama in a jiffy..." With that, a blade slashed directly downward, splitting the ground like a watermelon and cleaving it deeply into two halves from the middle.

Chen Hui's deep affection for her left her deeply moved, yet she had no way to repay it. This was an indebtedness that could never be made right.

Gao Dali said nothing, turned, and left. Lou Yi raised his head to look at the sky; the sky viewed through the blue and white flowers was exceptionally vivid and moving. His heart ached, yet he could only endure it alone; his tears fell, yet they could only flow inward to the deepest recesses of his soul.

Truthfully, this was the only thing Old Fu could not figure out. He felt that perhaps this could only be resolved once he saw the refrigerator again.

Light Chores and Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd. jointly subscribed to 55 million of the Class C partner shares and 5 million of the Class D partner shares.

"Speak. I'd like to know who has the audacity to interfere in the affairs of our Martial Arts Association." A cold glint flickered in Pei Xuan's eyes.

This was the ancestral land of the Yun family, once a place of neat tombs, lush forests, and verdant grass. Now, however, it was utterly desolate and bleak as far as the eye could see.

Even if the entire Baicao Hall were to be sold off now, he would be willing, as long as he could save his life first.

Having heard Zhuang Zhiqiang's words, the five security guards simultaneously took a step forward, preparing to subdue Yun Feilong at any moment.

This rare earth mine was a medium-to-large-scale deposit, for which a residential and administrative area had been constructed around the mining zone, enclosed by towering walls.

Han Hyo-joo was taken into the Mercedes-Benz, having already grown accustomed to the sports car of her "wealthy" friend.

Wei Dongqiang had originally been unwilling to return to China to teach; the domestic research environment still lagged behind that of the United States. American universities and medical research institutes possessed at least one P3 laboratory, as well as the world's largest concentration of P4 laboratories, such as the infectious disease research institute in Fort Detrick.

On the coastal dock, dozens of soldiers wearing South Korean Marine Corps blue-black one-piece camouflage uniforms stood lined up in formation waiting. Behind the phalanx of soldiers stood three black carriages.

None of these sounded like benevolent characters. If they were to arrive here one by one to haughtily demand the annulment of the engagement, it would be enough to anger him to death.

On the other hand, Li Ruo, who stood nearby, although unfamiliar with Fuli, could tell at a glance that the cultivator before her wore the appearance of someone plagued by romantic woes. Yet judging by his questioning, he himself seemed utterly oblivious to it.

Walking along the streets of Baicheng and observing the prosperity of the city, Huali suddenly recalled the last time she had come here with Physician Si, when she had caught sight of the white orchids displayed along the flower-and-plant-exclusive street.
