Rong Shun, realizing that continuing like this would lead nowhere, tucked the drunken and troublesome Tong Hua under his arm, then stepped forward to hoist Chang Yanfei onto his shoulder. "We'll discuss this when we get back," he said, directing his words to the black cat.
He glanced at her, and Yu Wan'an clearly saw her own reflection in his eyes.
At this, the Demon strategist chuckled to himself, seemingly piqued by the moment, appearing unexpectedly excited.
Therefore, when Ya Chun decided to press charges today, he asked Su Jiaohan to sound out Nan Shu's opinion; the Fu family's actions carried an intent to reconcile, and their sincerity was sufficient.
In such a situation, Yi Feishi could neither control the direction of the tribulation lightning nor predict when it would strike.
After mentally despising his son for being so spineless, Qin Fengyi threw himself back into the development of Nan Yi Province.
Feng Chengbao’s face flushed a deep red. The memorial stated very clearly that the people from the Governor’s Yamen had deliberately impersonated officials from the Surveillance Commission.
Mr. Shen had always been gentle and patient with her, indulging her mischief and wilfulness.
Yet, what Xia Siwan never expected was that Yu Wan'an would actually... agree to a paternity test.
Zheng Ancheng hurriedly signaled for someone to help An Shun up. It was simply An Shun's misfortune that he arrived to request an audience just as Emperor Jiacheng was feeling frustrated after being needled by his ministers. The Emperor interrogated him on the spot, and An Shun was so terrified that he dropped to his knees with a thud.
Two days later, the men Chen Dong had sent to the Fire Tribe returned, hauling carts of grain, but the chief of the Fire Tribe was not among them.

Not far away stood a chaotic cluster of buildings whose specific features were obscured. Jiang Ning tried to mobilize her divine consciousness, but the moment it left her body, it was scattered by the raging, sinister winds.
As for this evaluation, Gongshu Rang was likely pulling the strings behind the scenes; otherwise, she would have been a two-star at most, so how could she have reached three stars?
The world spoke only Mandarin, used only Chinese characters, celebrated the Spring Festival as its liveliest holiday, and watched the Spring Festival Gala as its highest-rated program.
Drus looked at the rigid tentacles on his body in disbelief, unable to fathom why they would bother to accept his allegiance and say so much to him if they had already decided to kill him.
Did this Dark Demon’s attack power increase this much after gaining a physical body? The previous attacks from the Dark Demon had no real impact; even if hit head-on, because the Dark Demon lacked a physical form, it caused almost no damage. Its only effect was the Dark Demon’s innate talent: Wither.
Everything pointed to one fact: her body’s capacity had grown stronger. The only explanation for this was the Dao Treasury—the "Lin" mantra. The spiritual energy she had dispersed throughout her internal organs had not truly dissipated, but had undergone some mysterious transformation within her.
She could clearly feel that this matter was far from simple, as if someone were pulling strings behind the scenes. Every day brought fresh news and shocking headlines, with her Weibo account tagged in vitriolic insults, as if they would not rest until they destroyed her.
She wore her long hair parted in the middle, styled in curls that clung tightly to her scalp, with the waves draped over her right shoulder. The exposed collarbone looked alluring and charming, highlighting her delicate face and slender neck.
If she had everyone in the Chen State participate, it would surely waste resources and time. Although the Chen State had produced paper and ink, these items remained highly precious. While the population was not large, it still numbered over ten thousand; if everyone were to participate, the current reserves might not suffice.
Upon my arrival, the two elderly Xu parents were overjoyed, praising my maturity while berating their son. By the end, they were quite emotional, clutching my hands and begging me to give their son another chance and reconcile with Xu Minghui.
I held the cardboard box in one arm and the plastic bag in the other, walking slowly toward the bus stop.

Zhang Bailing was about fifty years old, yet he dressed with a touch of modern flair that made him look younger. His hair was meticulously combed, and every gesture naturally exuded a sense of distance.
Guo Chenyi was beaten black and blue, yet he had no power to fight back against this formidable man.
Moreover, what Zhang Minglang said about her "spending three years of her youth" accompanying him made me jealous to the point of madness. I knew I couldn't blame her, yet I was still jealous enough to lash back with sharp words.
Like many campus couples, we had our moments of naive and pure romance. We studied together, ate at the cafeteria together, and strolled through the university grounds; the beautiful campus was filled with memories of our youth.
Xia Aimei narrowed her eyes and retorted in kind: "We shall see, you empty-headed vase." In the culinary arts, Xia Aimei’s attainments had reached the pinnacle. Although the "magic cooking" here was a bit fantastical, she was confident she could win a spot in the top three and enter the final Magic Chef Competition.
At first glance, the voice sounded like Zhang Minglang's, but upon reflection, there was a subtle difference.
Hearing Xie Fangju say this, I felt a little more at ease. It seemed Zhu Yunxiu hadn't been spouting nonsense in his diary, or I would never have been able to clear my name.
Facing the sudden appearance of Song Lingyun and Nangong Linglong, Hundun was highly vigilant, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from these two innate gods/demons.
Teluo opened one divine formation after another until she reached the deepest part of her divine kingdom. Opening the final gate, she found an ocean of light. Countless multicolored energies of varying attributes converged into an ocean spanning over a hundred thousand miles; even the total energy of the six elemental realms might not exceed this ocean of power.
