Volume 1, Chapter 28: A Second Confrontation, Zhou Cong's Total Defeat

Jiang Yuan rode his bicycle and finally found Ye Qiaojiao, only to witness this scene right at the entrance of the alley.

He heard Ye Qiaojiao say, "Forget it. I’m a married woman. Don’t bother talking to me about love or affection; I simply can’t stand the sight of you two."

"Qiaojiao, if you aren't angry about me being with Yaoyao, then what is it? We have no other conflicts besides that." Zhou Cong frowned, his eyes filled with a hint of reproach. "Do you hate me that much? Enough to repeatedly sabotage my business?"

"That’s right, Qiaojiao. If you just admitted you loved Brother Zhou, I could accept it. After all, Brother Zhou is so wonderful, and it’s only natural you’d feel unwilling to let go after losing him."

The so-called "beam" is an object set upon the crown of the head like a bridge; scholars often use such methods to distinguish their level of erudition.

In any case, when Ning Rong saw Chen Xin and Gu Rong sparring a few days ago, one side was filled with dancing golden dragons, and the other with sword energy that filled the sky.

Qin Hao looked down at his body. Although he had just scrubbed away most of the dead skin and grime from his surface, the man smiled, a sense of careless languor showing through. His gaze fell upon her waist, lingering only for a moment.

Zhou Changnian strode into the outer room, picked out a set of room key cards from a gift box beside the real estate model, and tossed them directly into Jiang Shu’s hands upon returning.

After eating and drinking for free at someone else’s home, one must certainly offer plenty of kind words to ensure there is a next time.

Madam Red Lotus and the Hermit of Mountain Opening beside her acted almost simultaneously; one held a red lotus magical artifact and sprinted across the grass.

Back at the company, Sheng Nian heard from Manager Yang that the Galaxy project might be signed in the next few days. This made her heave a sigh of relief; fortunately, Cheng Yao hadn't paid much mind to the incident at the tennis court that day.

Wang Debao had been reborn from an era where retail eggs cost seven or eight yuan per catty, averaging over a yuan per egg. From the perspective of the future, eggs costing mere cents each now seemed ridiculously cheap.

Everyone knew that with Wen Jiaren’s primary-level cultivation of the ninth degree, she was destined to be crushed by the seventh-ranked Chen Youwei. However, Wen Jiaren’s journey was so inspiring that people couldn't help but hold expectations for her, hoping for another upset that would bring them a surprise.

Under normal circumstances, such a bizarre event would be hard to believe, but because the messenger was the Valley Master of Immortal Snow Valley, no one dared to doubt it.

It was only later that the ancestor of the Qin family discovered it, wounded it, and forced it to flee into the depths of the mine, where it lived a life of concealment.

I had been stifled at home for three days and felt like I was growing mold. Just then, I received a call from A’nan, who told me her bar had opened and invited me to come over. I agreed without hesitation and took a taxi to the Secret Bar.

The largest room on the second floor had originally been a multi-functional reception room, but after renovations, it had been turned into an exhibition hall. Ouguan pressed the button by the door, and as the lights flared, Nanxi’s eyes lit up as well.

"What?! You're courting death!!!" One of the one-eyed men grabbed the innkeeper by the collar and hoisted him up.

Ye Chen gazed at the massive continent in the center, a faint smile on his lips. One day, he would surely conquer that place.

"You want me to help you save your sister?" I furrowed my brow. Going to the God Realm to rescue someone was practically a joke.

It could be considered safe here. Usually, immortals were not allowed to enter the Jade Emperor Palace without a summons from the Immortal Emperor. Lu Sheng was well aware of this and decided to stay here.

With a left click of the mouse, the screen began to change, displaying a name on the LCD monitor.

Recalling the evasiveness in Mother Wang's words earlier, and her failure to mention the surname of the other party's husband, Mother Ru felt a jolt of alarm. There was only one possible outcome for such behavior.

After Yuan Niang returned, she was slapped by Madam Xu, and Madam Xu never showed her face in front of Yuan Niang again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it before! Please forgive me!" Lin Feng stood up, his first priority being to clarify his previous rudeness.

After staying on Jiwang Island for three days, Weiwei analyzed the information she had gathered, excluded various possibilities, and finalized several useful plans. The fact that the patriarch hadn't come was a major blow; she couldn't afford to be as passive as before, as the result of slacking off could very well be misinformation.

Following a school meeting, it was decided to establish a sports department. There are thirty-six physical education teachers in the school, and for the convenience of teaching, the following appointments were made: Comrade Hexi is appointed as the leader of the first-grade group.

Aside from their brief encounter with Chen Fei when exiting the Void Secret Realm, the Original Sword Sect and the Blade Snatching Sect had no major conflicts or grudges. Now that the matter was settled, the tremors were forgotten, and assuming Chen Fei wouldn't reveal the truth, they exchanged a few polite congratulations and withdrew.

With the matter resolved, Qingling finally breathed a sigh of relief. These beasts had no regard for kinship, and if Jun Wuyan hadn't arrived in time, she didn't know what might have happened. However, since things were settled, she should go back to rest.

Mu Yuncheng was staring at her in a daze when she suddenly opened her eyes. As their gazes met, it was not the slow unfolding Mu Yuncheng had imagined; the beauty that followed was distorted, violent, and cruel.

Sun Yingzi noticed this from the assistant's room, immediately pulled a letter from her drawer, and followed after them.

Sun Yingzi couldn't bring herself to speak directly about what happened that night. If she told them that Qin Yihuai had taken her to a nightclub, they would likely go insane.

Smoke immediately rose from the armor worn by the Grand Princess and the Grand Consort. Although the laser weapon did not penetrate the armor, the Grand Princess and the Grand Consort felt a violent numbness in their arms, and with a "clang," the laser weapons fell to the floor.

Zhuo Ling didn't care. He was young, and this was his era; he would not be trampled underfoot by Cai Nianlan forever.

Chu Haoxuan was surprised. Whoever could enter a room without lights must be intimately familiar with the layout, meaning it could only be the owner or Ye Zhengkai.

Chapter 18: Father and Son. Coming out of the hotel bathroom, Zhuo Ling wore only a bath towel around his waist, revealing his lean and upright physique. His hair was wet, with droplets sliding down his back, merging into a stream that traced the lines of his muscles.

The boy looked up in surprise, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at An Yujing. "Here, take it." Staring blankly at the heavy embroidered bag in his hands, the boy didn't know what to say.

Suddenly hearing Ruier laugh for no reason, the King frowned, thinking that this girl was as innocent as a child, unaware of the world's malice—why was she laughing for no reason?
