Volume 1, Chapter 37: New Year’s Eve

Jiang Li replied without a moment's hesitation, "Impossible. He messaged me just last night saying he would come today."

Qin Yue sounded noticeably hesitant upon hearing this. "But word came from the ancestral estate yesterday morning that President Lu would be heading over there by noon today."

The explosion lasted for about five seconds. Once it finally ceased, Xin Tian looked up at the ICU ward, now reduced to ruins. Her mouth opened, but not a single word could escape.

Nanshan showed us the list of equipment he had prepared for this mission. I have to admit, his efficiency is remarkable; the gear he gathered is truly impressive.

Although Li Jinsu was a eunuch, he had overseen the capital's security for many years and possessed formidable martial arts skills. He charged toward Jiang Yisheng on horseback, sword in hand, with a desperate determination, as if he were sacrificing himself to fulfill another's destiny.

Those eyes were deep as an abyss. A breeze swept across the surface, causing the water to ripple and sway in soft circles, dissipating into the most sorrowful desolation in the world.

Forced to withdraw his hand halfway, Lou Yue had no choice but to drink it as it was. Su Liuying could not warn him in time, and his mouth was scalded.

The princesses had it easy; they lived in the palace as usual and married outside once they reached the appropriate age. Only Su Liuying was the exception.

"Shut up!" Before I could finish my sentence, the loudspeaker on the vehicle cut me off. Several police officers emerged, holding guns in one hand and riot shields in the other, slowly advancing toward us. Behind them, other officers remained on high alert, their weapons still pointed at us.

Her eyes were filled with flowing radiance—an abyss in which any man would lose his way, a sea of bitterness in which one would willingly drown.

Qiu Minghao was about to reply to Li Chun'er when the phone in his chest pocket vibrated. He grabbed it and asked.

The Sea Emperor looked proud but did not answer. However, seeing the Sea Emperor's silence, the Holy Mother's expression turned clearly displeased.

Olina's face was instantly clouded with melancholy and nostalgia. She sighed dejectedly and set down her teacup. In that moment, a heavy, mournful atmosphere began to permeate the entire pavilion.

Eldest Brother Liu spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed unsteadily, and he dropped to one knee, looking utterly disheveled.

Then, with a backhanded strike, he slammed the broad side of his sword against the head of one of the corpse demon generals.

"Tell me, what did you say earlier? What did you agree to? Why are you questioning my words now?" Ziyun was determined to make her submit completely.

For over a hundred years, the Wuyang Sect had mobilized a vast amount of manpower to search for the location of the Kui Water Immortal Sect, yet they had never been able to find it.

The True Ghost King spoke with great confidence. At that moment, the Northern Governor, Southern Governor, and Western Governor stepped forward. Ling Guangwei and Wu Xingjueshen exchanged a look, then immediately rushed forward to engage the three of them.

You Yan, thinking Su Fan felt dejected, began to comfort him in his own way, even taking the opportunity to boast about himself toward the end.

The Priest of Light suddenly remembered that because of Liu Ci's interruption, he and Lierman had not only forgotten to argue, but they had also failed to send out the most important message.

Bu Qianyi arrived as well. He had met them before, but having married Bu Xiuyan, he had yet to pay his respects to his father-in-law, the Sword Emperor Bu.

I ran straight toward the Ghost Gate. Perhaps because I had come here too many times, even the ghost guards at the gate did not appear this time.

"You're saying that guy has already appeared in the boss's room?" Guo Bin frowned, still finding it hard to believe.

"It is true that I led you into a trap with those words, but I was never afraid, because you have no way to help her escape me," the inner demon said.

Retreating a dozen meters, Ye Wushuang shifted his gaze to see a middle-aged man walking in with a gloomy expression.
