The Jiang family courtyard had two floors. Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun lived on the second floor, while the elders resided downstairs.
As soon as he carried the luggage upstairs, Jiang Zhixun noticed something was amiss.
Aside from their bridal chamber, the other two rooms were excessively empty.
In the past, unoccupied rooms would at least have bedboards ready, allowing someone to simply lay down a mattress and sleep whenever needed.
Now, there was nothing at all.
A sudden thought crossing his mind, Jiang Zhixun quickly took a few strides forward and pushed open the door to the bridal chamber—
Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, the void suddenly shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself inside another mysterious and ancient grand hall.
Therefore, at this moment, simply watching the two young masters play together, he did not step forward.
If the two of them could truly complement each other, one could easily imagine that the Guo family's divination abilities would certainly be valued by the emperor, thus allowing them to return to the imperial court.
On the eleventh day, the Chen State saw four cities destroyed in succession... On that very same day, Shi Junnai, Lord of Qilian City, strode directly into the grand hall of the Chen State's imperial court. Facing the King of Chen, he directly accused the Marquis of the Four Quarters of gross negligence and disregard for the lives of the Chen people... In the end, Shi Junnai let out an angry cry toward the heavens, "A muddled ruler!" and dashed his head against a pillar in the court hall.
This establishment previously seemed to be the property of Lady Luo's household, so now that it had changed hands, could it also have official, government backing?
When the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus swept into the wood-attribute region, the Wood Source Tree seemed instantly stimulated. It gathered all the remaining immortal elemental energy within the wood-attribute region in a split second, wrapping it tightly around the tree trunk.
On one side stood a black-robed saint surrounded by deep black mist, with two balls of flame burning at his sides, and several terrifying figures looming vaguely within the swirling vapor around him.
Hearing these words, Long Yuanche felt extremely stifled, yet he was completely helpless. Fortunately, he was no longer entirely in the dark about Luo Qianqian at night; at the very least, he could see and hear now, and make the most accurate judgments.

By estimation, to sustain the process until the tempering of the sea of consciousness's origin was complete, at least dozens of such replenishments would still be needed. Was that even possible? Lost in thought, Jun Yixiao's aura grew disordered once again.
Such occurrences were tacitly understood in all official banquets; the host benefited the most, so nothing much was made of it.
"Advanced artificial intelligence?" I cried out loudly. Wasn't this remarkably similar to the self-generating program that Han Xue and I had once dreamed of? Creativity—the fundamental distinction between the human brain and the computer. If this research topic were completed, everything related to artificial intelligence would be thoroughly revolutionized.
"This is a team task, and you are the one who accepted it. You can recruit all the other people into your team and then share the task with them," Sajis said unhurriedly.
At this point, I had no other choice but to run. Looking at that ferocious hound, I wanted to cry without tears. This vicious dog was the very one that had bitten off the arm of the male ghost earlier. It had enjoyed its meal thoroughly and was now chasing after me with its mouth wide open. It clearly could have caught up to me at any moment, yet it chose to trail right behind me at a leisurely, unhurried pace.
Tang Shaolong never expected Hongxiu to block him with such words, and for a moment, he had no idea how to reply to her.
Yin Xu's expression still remained largely blank, though his complexion was exceptionally terrible. Those mesmerizing blood-red eyes lacked their usual stunning allure, looking instead lifeless and ashen.
The numbers leaped from one to zero in a flash, and my heart leapt straight to my throat at that exact moment. Resil stared fixedly at the countdown timer, his eyes growing wider and wider, while Nephela crossed her arms and held her breath without daring to make a sound, and that pair of boxers shrieked and wailed like ghosts.
Yet shortly after, feeling that something was amiss once more, she hastily grabbed Qian Zhan's hand, refusing to let go.
However, after subduing it, another problem arose: this zombie was impervious to both water and fire, and even burning it with Samadhi True Fire failed to destroy it.
Beyond that, Zhang Xinsheng dispatched everyone to gather criminal evidence against Shi Weiguo, Liu Dapeng, and their accomplices. Following the list in that notebook, they were to visit them one by one and use whatever means necessary to secure the evidence.
Before long, the room grew steamy, filled with the lingering fragrance of flowers. The intense aroma made one feel slightly dizzy.
Lu Yechuan hastily slapped a talisman onto his forehead, subduing him instantly. He dissolved back into black smoke and drilled straight into my nose.
The entire Primordial Northern Realm was enveloped by a gigantic spirit array, alongside which lay piles of divine bones.

The lamentations of the commoners in the capital grew ever more mournful, and the riots among the refugees intensified, yet scarcely anyone cared about their plight.
After finishing her morning classes, Bai Tianqing went to the Mu Corporation to find Madam Mu, accompanying her first to an upscale spa for a full-body care package, after which Madam Mu took her to a hair salon.
In front of Fanma, Chana anxiously paced back and forth in a circle over the heavy wooden flooring, producing loud thudding footsteps, as if the end of the world were imminent.
If they wished to oppose Confucianism, they had to first strike down this shop that had not yet become mainstream or taken definitive shape.
Lin Yi went to the bathroom to bathe. It was now late autumn, and the weather had grown quite chilly; however, the bathroom was equipped with underfloor heating, keeping the entire space warm and cozy.
Since the other party was showing goodwill, Yu Tianqing could not rebuff her coldly. She respectfully accepted the handkerchief and expressed her gratitude.
Ordinarily, Fugaku would have disdained such a sneak attack, but after listening to the theories Fanma had just instilled into Senju, his inner thoughts underwent some changes.
Even among beast clans whose cultivation matched that of the Nine Supreme Divine Beasts, facing these beasts would only result in absolute submission. This was a surrender derived from bloodline and soul.
He was a simple, carefree person, tired of plots and scheming, who merely wanted to live a peaceful life for a while.
Before boarding the carriage, Ji Wangshu suddenly turned around and beckoned to Yue Jiangying not far away, motioning for him to come closer.
When Lin Sheng went to coax Yingying to wake up, her phone happened to ring. Seeing the name displayed on the screen, her heart tightened abruptly. Although she had done nothing wrong, she was still afraid—much like facing a natural predator. Even though they spent every day together, she remained somewhat afraid of him, because natural predators could be fatal, and she was inherently destined to be conquered by him.
