Volume 1, Chapter 105: Maintaining a Long-Term Marital Relationship
This seemed to be the first time Lu Jing had met Mo Xingyuan alone. His overwhelming presence and the condescending posture of a superior made her feel somewhat intimidated. She could not handle the man belonging to her best friend.
"Mr. Mo, is there something you need from me?" Lu Jing, being a woman of the world, soon steadied her nerves and asked.
Mo Xingyuan asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lu Jing could not figure out what he was up to. "Anything is fine."
"Order the dishes first." Mo Xingyuan called a waiter and told Lu Jing to order.
Lu Jing felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles, wanting to call Su Li for help. But with him right across from her, she had no such opportunity. She ordered two dishes at random and put the menu down. She wanted to ask again, but as soon as she met Mo Xingyuan’s unfathomable eyes, she closed her mouth...
"Damn necromancer, you dare to desecrate the heroic souls of the warriors; I will grind you to dust!" roared the Night King, Celvis.
Furthermore, Nalan City was weak and riddled with disaster victims, making it as loose as a handful of sand. A portion of the military pay sent by the imperial court had already been used to provide relief to the people; how could there be money left to develop the army?
Just after bringing things into the kitchen, she saw Yao Huazhi and Jiang Erhe return wearing rain capes. They had gone to the river today; the banks of the lower reaches had been washed away and needed reconstruction. Most of the able-bodied laborers in the village had gone there today.
Will had evidently slept extremely well last night. Full of energy early in the morning, he strapped the Rock Maiden sword to his back and began to gather food for everyone.
Jiang Momo kicked the knife on the ground away first, then changed the angle of the club in her hand and struck a fierce blow onto the man’s back.
Li Qingyun used the time Su Xue and the others spent pushing the boss to brew over seven hundred bottles of Red Lotus Potion. Afterward, he teleported to the blacksmith shop to repair his equipment and spent 3,000 gold coins to embed the War Soul Stone into the Forget-River Ring.
After learning the skill, Li Qingyun stayed at the bottom of the lake chatting with Lillian. Without realizing it, the time reached three in the morning. Liu Wei’s guild missions were completed, and Scarlet Blade had quietly upgraded to a level 4 guild.
"Master, we have sufficient combat strength here. Surely those beast tides cannot breach this area?" Mu Cheng seemed to have something to say and asked timidly.
Except for the "Winding Finger Soft," his other hidden weapons had been mostly exhausted while fighting monsters and dealing with the Blood Garment Sect.
Huo Simeng thought for a moment. What was most urgently needed now was to know what others were thinking, so she clicked directly to capture thoughts.
If it were before, he could have just called Yi Shuihan to ask about this work, but now... could Yi Shuihan still think highly of a down-and-out director like himself?
"Elder Shang, I, Yi Shuihan, am making a presumptuous visit. Please forgive me," Yi Shuihan said with a smile, cupping his hands.
Moreover, Shuihan suddenly discovered a strange problem: it seemed the two sides hadn't even agreed on how to compete yet.
"It’s over!" Tang Yan looked at A-Niu with annoyance. "I really shouldn't have kissed you. Jing Tian probably couldn't take it!" She hurriedly ran over, helped Jing Tian up, and shouted for the nurse. Once the nurse arrived, they worked together to send Jing Tian back to the ward. Jing Tian’s condition was still unstable and she could not handle any stimulation.
First it was kissing a second uncle, now it was a sister’s... could it be that this was a period for recognizing relatives within the formation?
"I can send you to the Immortal Realm, and I can send you to the Underworld. Believe it or not!" Li Miaoyan’s words were undoubtedly lethal. Kang Zijian really could not believe that this was the Li Miaoyan he knew.
There was no wanton spraying of champagne as usual, nor the wild cheers after winning the championship, because the three from Ferrari were tightly embracing, and Hamilton, feeling redundant, had already left early. However, this did not prevent this alternative award ceremony from deeply moving everyone who saw the scene.
Waiting is the most torturous thing. Memories occupied every minute and second, devouring his nerves at every moment. He felt regret, heartbreak, pain, and annoyance, but all to no avail. The longing tortured him so much he could neither eat nor sleep. For a man of great emotion, the outward expression of his feelings often directly affected his life.
"Yes! That’s the car! It was covered up just like this that day!" The truck driver who had arrived first immediately shouted, as if to remind Feilong about the 10,000 yuan reward.
The President barely managed to climb up, but then several vital points on his chest—Huagai, Shanzhong, Juque... were hit by bullets in succession, and he collapsed to the ground again. Shuihan held a gun to his head; at this moment, the President’s internal energy was scattered, and if he pulled the trigger, he could truly kill him.
"Air Piles!" Lear shouted in shock. The rampaging air suddenly condensed into pile-like objects and crashed into the incoming spikes. Tip met tip, edge met edge, and they shattered on the spot. The aftermath of the explosive power blew Lear into outer space.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao could not help but hesitate. Since the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang had indeed made repeated contributions, causing Cao Cao and his subordinates to look at him with new respect. But if he were to let Cao Ang lead an army alone, in all honesty, Cao Cao was still somewhat worried; after all, in this regard, Cao Ang could be said to have no experience at all.
Seeing this situation, Ning Xi felt even more agitated. No longer caring to slow down, he charged directly onto the upper steps, hoping to make his Blood Fiend Technique break through to the second realm in one go.
Seeing Zhou Jiping lost in thought over a grain of salt, the chieftain walked over to greet him and gestured for him to follow.
However, precisely because of their specialization, the Blue Star people were terrifying in their attainments in both the chime bells and the piano.
"Should I go to the poor colonies to recruit some simple, young boys? Or get some soldiers?" Lear was a bit undecided. It seemed the idea of boys was good; they could be slowly cultivated into his confidants, whereas kidnapping active-duty soldiers would likely only increase the influence of Xing Changzhou on this ship.
Murong Tai’s face changed drastically. In that instant, he felt the aura of death, and he was immediately terrified, his figure retreating rapidly.
"Mr. Gao, I think you are mistaken. If you want to buy this painting by Gao Cen, then buy it. A gentleman promotes the beauty of others; I will concede it to you!" A flash of cunning light passed through Tang Chen’s eyes, and he was so generous that even Zhou Xuanying was a bit stunned.
They finally decided to bow to Lin Qi. Of course, while that was the behavior, they still had to put it nicely; it should be called a negotiation.
Ma Sanzhi and the Earth Guardians led by Sun Wukong were all burning with battle blood, determined to quell the chaos and maintain peace, thus guarding the world long-term, so that all nine heavens and ten earths would be at peace, and no monsters would dare to bully humans again.
Because even if he said it, it would not solve any problems. Since the matter had already occurred, he could only nurture it slowly and recover.
