Volume 1, Chapter 62: Why Do Women Make Things Difficult for Women

Shen Yu was well aware of this and took advantage of the opportunity to give Zhao Yun a severe reprimand, while Zhao Yun did not dare to utter a word in response.

I turned around abruptly and charged toward the twin-winged flood dragon, raising the Ghost-Wu Bow of Tremor to loose arrows at the beast, continuously provoking it. Although skills like the Swift-Winged Arrow, Frost Arrow, and Armor-Piercing Arrow carried a high probability of missing, as long as I could maintain the twin-winged flood dragon's aggro, Tang Youyou would be out of danger.

Watching Cheng Ye and the others board the helicopter once more, the two aircraft lifted off from the helipad, disappearing into the night sky amidst a deafening roar.

Jamie's impenetrable Liverpool accent was quite a handful, though that hardly mattered; what really undermined his dignity was his mischievous personality.

"I will ask you only this: did you collude with members of the Li family and resort to underhanded schemes?" Yi Qingyang asked coldly.

"I understand, Father." Hearing the resolute tone in Li Xingzhou's voice, Li Luo knew that once a decision was made, nothing would change it.

The volume of the voice was so high that it exceeded the maximum capacity of the megaphone, producing a harsh, static-like screech.

Tiansheng paced around frantically in place. Now that the Ninefold Precious Armor refused to manifest, and his own strength was insufficient to shatter the barrier, was he simply to watch the Heart of the Seafloor—so close within reach—while remaining completely helpless?

Yi Qingyang spread his hands and tied Wang Chuan to the sofa with a rope. Whatever suffering I endured just now, you must experience all over again.

"I know." Although Xie Lan's relationship with Xie Yuan was far from warm, they were, after all, full sisters. Seeing Xie Yuan in such a tragic state, a bitter ache stirred deep within her heart.

Jiang Yue nodded. It was not that he failed to realize how deeply wronged Xiao Xiao was, but he too had his own selfish motives. Regardless of how Madam Yan might behave, once Xiao Xiao returned home, matters between him and Xiao Xiao would become much easier to manage.

"That's not going to happen. You aren't that foolish... are you?" It was a declarative statement wrapped in an interrogative tone at the close.

"Sister-in-law, please return to your chambers to change your attire first. I will handle things here." Yu Shaosheng had always managed the iron mines with a harmonious rapport with the common folk, and with him calming the situation, Qingrang felt a measure of reassurance. However, before she could head back to her quarters, a subordinate arrived with an urgent report stating that an incident had occurred at the Leisure Pavilion.

As her slender finger extended, the gaze of everyone in the grand hall followed the gesture, landing upon the dazed and absent-minded Lin Xiao.

Several members of Qinghe Workshop following behind him recognized her. Should she flee in defiance of his orders, the consequences would likely be far worse. That night her appearance had been different, and with the dim light, he surely would not have recognized her.

Step by step, he walked toward the location indicated by Ning Zhao. That area had been reduced to ruins, and he had already searched through it himself moments before.

Without further ado, Gu Feng immediately shifted his focus onto a master of the Asura Realm, brandishing the Purple Sun Divine Sword and launching an attack.

Naturally, the security of the emperor was the responsibility of the Imperial Guard commanded by General Bude; it was not yet their turn to shoulder such duties. The primary mission of the Capital Guard was to ensure the surrounding safety, ensuring that no assassins or suicide squads came out to disrupt the proceedings on trading day. To a certain extent, it could not be considered overly difficult.

Since evasion was impossible, one naturally had to face it with a smile, especially since the outcome of who would win and who would lose remained undetermined.

Zhang Yong was not actually dead; he had merely remained in a delirious state, and examinations at the hospital failed to pinpoint what was wrong with him. Su Quan insisted adamantly that it was caused by eating food from our home. Consequently, pending the test results, my father was taken into custody.

Although the scar-faced man was arrogant and domineering by nature, holding even Ye Yingxue in utter contempt, he felt a profound sense of panic when facing Zuo Yi, as if a catastrophic disaster hung over him with the potential to claim his life at any moment.

The eldest sister had only two daughters and no sons. Although neither her husband nor their parents-in-law voiced any complaints, deep down, the eldest sister genuinely longed for a son.

Upon hearing Rice's words, Fang Zen stepped forward, coughed twice, and then began to speak.

At the weapons emporium, a mercenary nearly dropped the weapon in his hand onto the ground, terrified by the price quoted by Fang Zen.

"Hey, are you getting back here? Who did you call a beggar? Who..." She dared not take up the remark concerning construction, resorting instead to a hollow, blustering outcry.

Su Mufan distinctly sensed that Lin Yuanxu beside him was hovering on the brink of unbridled fury, poised to strike a ruthless blow against Lin Chu at any moment.

This had been personally cultivated by Old Sun. He had attempted it many times previously, all ending in failure. To achieve this, he had deliberately joined a botanical research society, where he formed connections with several experts in the field.

Stepping cautiously into a clump of grass, he tremblingly attended to the calls of nature, and then slowly crawled back to the carriage.

As a government inspector and official matchmaker, upon reaching the age of twenty, one was required to take at least five husbands. She was well aware of the affections held by these brothers; aside from Shuyu, she understood the feelings of all the rest.

"Hmph, wretched slut! A fox spirit specialized in seducing men!" The longer she looked at Shangguan Ci's face, the more revulsion she felt, wishing she could tear that face to shreds.

Mucheng Qin wiped the liquid from her face, brought it to her nose to sniff, and then glanced at the porcelain bowl in Luo Zhu's hands. A churning wave surged in her stomach, and she retched violently.

"Let's go, gather at the campaign zone. They should all have arrived." Wen Xi dismissed Li Han.

Fu Yang remained by her side, his burning gaze never leaving her. He extended his hands to shield her from all sides, as if fearful that should he lose concentration for even a moment, Shang Weizhen might collapse to the ground.
