Upon learning that the Marquis of Anning’s estate would host a flower appreciation banquet on the third day of the third lunar month, my first thought was that all my wishes could finally come true.

"Song Chenxi, you... you are simply shameless." Zheng Miaoguo, nursing the pain from her fall, twisted her face and glared at Song Chenxi, her expression one of utter disbelief.

"Everyone has worked hard today. One pancake is enough for me; I had quite a lot for lunch," Mei Yixuan explained.

With the phone call finished, I could finally breathe for a moment. I have no idea when things will start over at the ocean or how long they will last, so perhaps I should head over later. It wouldn't be good to interrupt his negotiations with the family deity.

Since Li Bufan was the one who brought it up, I’ll leave the explaining to him. Lin Mengying and I will just smile and nod.

Listening carefully, Manjing recognized the voice of Village Chief Luo Qingguo. She felt deeply puzzled—why would the village chief suddenly bring people to find Grandpa Luo? And who could possibly be looking for him?

Seeing the shopkeeper’s consternation, which looked remarkably like a bout of constipation, Situ Jiao immediately grasped the reason. She found it amusing inwardly, though her outward expression remained light and indifferent.

"Hmph, you want me to apologize to that cheap girl Luo Manjing? Keep dreaming," Dong Wanyi spat, her face full of disdain and malice.

Kaguya was unsure if her worry was strange. She offered no defense, her expression betraying a sense of guilt, as if she had committed some wrongdoing.

"Whoever you are, I’ll be hosting next week. I hope you all show up on time!" Ji Yun snorted coldly to himself, only to realize a moment later that he had missed his stop.

"Risking it all? You’re joking with your life! Of all our brothers, you and I are the closest—how could I let you go to your death? If there’s no solution, we can find one!" Xiang Shaohua said with agitation upon hearing Bei Wanchang’s words.

Although Wang Zixuan possessed the Yin-attuned body, she had never practiced cultivation. While her progress had been rapid since coming up the mountain and beginning her training, she was still only at the Origin Core stage.

Waiting for him outside the jungle was none other than his father, Old Pele, and his younger brother, Pelaen.

The ancient temple was silent, devoid of any sound. The brothers lay sprawled on the ground, fast asleep. Even the four on night watch had grown lazy, but he could not blame them; even he himself could not hold out, so what right did he have to reproach his subordinates?

After the village chief finished speaking, he left. Although he had spoken, he remained somewhat wary of the topic. After all, their ancestors had never mentioned whether Liu Xin would be angered if outsiders learned of this. But having lived so long, the village chief had long since let go of such concerns.

"Once I finish off the Ant King, that will be your end!" Wuda ignored him, his figure flickering as he rushed to the side of Shuya, who was locked in battle with the Ant King.

"Stay calm, stay calm!" Xiang Yu stopped his frantic assault and began to respond to Yan Liang’s attacks with composure.

"Know fear now? Why weren't you so thoughtful when you were having your fun with her?" Li Yongle wiped his mouth with a napkin and said.

In particular, the man with the fleshy face, vicious eyes, and murderous appearance made everyone else feel their own presence diminish by a fraction.

If the piece of Balin bloodstone in the middle-aged fat man's hand was genuine, it was worth at least ten million.

"Misunderstanding, my foot! I saw you hit my brother with my own eyes, and you’re still calling it a misunderstanding!" Xu Duofu stepped forward and delivered a slap.

Realizing he could not shake off Shadow Ji, the long-haired man suddenly stopped, turned, and threw two black spheres.

Interestingly, despite the many people in the courtyard, the green snake showed no fear; instead, it slithered openly across the grounds.

"How are you the only idiot here!" Jessica couldn't help herself, flying over to punch Luke in the stomach. Luke doubled over and fell to the ground.

However, once the two returned to the human realm and Yan Yiyi looked at Shen Yin’s current state, along with her own appearance as an adult, she feared that no one in the Lu family would dare to recognize her.

The strange odor appearing in the industrial zone mostly originated from a fertilizer plant—a factory that produced urea.

However, everything that had just occurred made Hong Yuhao realize for the first time that there was a gap in status between him and Chen Meijia.

The vaporized broadswords, following the changes in the sound waves, suddenly merged together...

A year and a half had passed in a blink. Next year, my cousin would take the college entrance exam; I wonder how he is doing now.

She knew that such a scene would inevitably play out tonight, and she had already warned herself countless times: "Don't."

"Because they must have the public beta of this game released before the end of 2012. If they miss this window, the impact of the game will be greatly diminished." Zhao Gan spoke dismissively, yet his words left the listeners in shock.

Stepping on the wild grass, Ling Yu felt as if he had returned to his days in the Great Wilderness, thinking of the silver wolf, Xue'er. At that time, he was all alone, with only Xue'er for company, much like an adult guiding a naive and mischievous child.

"Don't go out now. This border city has two suns; staying out too long will lead to sunburn." Ai Yi said, pushing Xiao Yan back into the room, while also stopping the curious Ying Wushuang and the others.

Ling Yu stood in the void, calm and composed. He suddenly lifted his right hand, grabbed the staff swinging toward him, and struck Tu Tian in the face with his left palm. With a thunderous "bang," the shockwave echoed in all directions. Tu Tian was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away by that single blow, and the staff was already firmly in Ling Yu’s grasp.

In that very instant, I suddenly remembered where I had seen that silver waist token before—or rather, the characters inscribed upon it.

Thus, as the dark, lethal muzzle of the Smith & Wesson gradually withdrew from Song Daowu’s forehead, it was not only Song Daowu who breathed a sigh of relief, but also the three brothers behind him.

"Douzi! Douzi! Don't run off!" On the ridges of the fields, several teenage boys in cloth garments were swinging bamboo swords, playing a game of cops and robbers. Behind them, their elderly grandmother chased after them with short, hurried steps, but the faster she ran, the further behind she fell, leaving them to run barefoot and wild into the cornfields.
