Volume 1, Chapter 25: You mean, Director Wang agreed!

As we sat down to eat as a family, everyone was laughing and chatting in a warm, joyful atmosphere. Watching my family gathered here like this, I felt a deep sense of happiness in my heart.

White Tiger immediately recalled all the "Divine Beast Guards" that Azure Dragon had sent away, regrouping them into a formidable fighting force once again.

Seeing the look in Lin Yan'er's eyes, I scolded myself inwardly: "What has come over me? Am I not just bringing ruin upon others? I don't even know if I can save my own life, yet here I am, acting like this with her. What am I doing?" I felt a surge of self-reproach and intense anger at myself.

Upon hearing these words, the crowd grew even more indignant, wishing they could drag Fang Qiangyong and Du Guili out immediately to subject them to harsh condemnation.

Once inside, you are transported to a virtual space where you must mentor a group of students. They have all sorts of problems, and your task is to guide them to success within three years.

Zi Qi’s gaze sharpened. If it were anyone else, it might have been a mistake born of panic, but Situ Lei was no ordinary person. Moreover, she had spent time with Situ Xin; in such a critical moment, she would not speak without certainty.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'm quite formidable myself—who knows, they might not even be able to beat me!" Dugu Jue continued to tease her.

"Five days already? I was so absorbed in my cultivation that I lost track of time! Very well, get up. There’s no need to kneel at every turn; we don't have such rigid rules here," Shangguan Luoying said with a faint look of surprise, followed by immediate understanding.

No sooner had Su Xuanling finished speaking than the crowd in the hall erupted into a clamor, each one posturing with a display of loyalty and chivalrous spirit.

"Very well." Yuan Chonghuan agreed, parked his car in the hospital's underground garage, then walked out and hailed a taxi to leave.

Ming Kai knew the enemy had vision in the tri-brush, so after digging his tunnel through the dragon pit wall, he did not rush to position himself.

This served as a reminder that he should use his human form in future meetings to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xing'er sensed something was wrong; she suspected that Li Xingtang had been arrested by Magistrate Lin.

She brought two clerks with her to measure and record the position of the corpse relative to the temple door and walls, as well as the posture in which the body had been nailed to the door.

"This disciple was rash. I shall deliver the elixir to the Third Martial Uncle at once." With that, the burly man took the jade bottle sealed with a spiritual talisman from Grandmaster Cai, then vanished in a flash, transforming into a streak of light as he flew toward Lotus Peak.

Sunset understood that the most crucial thing in this skirmish was that Uzi must not die. While quickly relaying the information he had, he moved to intercept the Crocodile.

Just as she was about to ask, Lili sensed a presence so faint it was like a mosquito entering the Spirit Gathering Array.

This was a trait born after he was promoted to a Tier 2 Alchemist and his Creation Cauldron was upgraded accordingly.

Ever since that review session had torn the veil off his relationship with Ming Kai, he had prepared himself for the reality that he would no longer have Ming Kai’s support.

She still remembered how her eldest brother had taken the shortcut through the irrigation ditch to get back to town, only to lose his life in a mudslide.

Zi Lu understood Chen Feng’s desperate desire to return to Cangyun, so he made an immediate promise.

"I won't go!" Unlike Gude, who was full of excitement, Nizi went directly to Liu Chang after receiving the transfer order and refused to accept it.

"Don't worry," Mu An'an said. "I am just an exchange student named Gu Gu; no one will pay me any mind."

As night fell, the princess sat in her bedchamber, unable to sleep, and toyed with the strange ring. Naturally, she had sent all her maids away, leaving her alone in the room.

"Who is 'Knockout Donkey'?" This was the first time Liu Ni had heard the name; it was obviously a nickname.

He clicked on this villager in the same way he had interacted with the previous two traders.

Facing a chorus of opposition, Old Duan merely shook his head slightly and spoke two brief sentences in the calmest of tones.

"Is it for the sake of the Crown Prince position?" Gu Muyuan finally stopped walking and looked at the man, whose face was flushed with anger.

Although the Bai brothers knew nothing of ginseng, they knew liquor. When Bai Fei opened the stopper, a rich aroma instantly rushed to his head.

Since the lunch hour had passed, the place was empty. Liu Ying and I each ordered a bowl of spicy mix and sat at a table to wait.

Anping’s life had been one of constant displacement; she had never known a single day of comfort, yet she never harbored resentment toward anyone, remaining steadfast in her faith.

She simply wanted to spark Chu Xuan’s appetite. As a man, he would surely feel embarrassed to have her feed him for too long; after a couple of bites, he should be willing to eat on his own.

"The spirit field is humble, why not rest on this pile of grass first?" He gestured to the heap of weeds nearby.

Agate was already trembling like a leaf, begging for mercy in a quivering voice. "I... I... I know I was wrong. Please, Sister Jinse, spare me this once." As she spoke, she reached out to tug at Jinse’s sleeve.

There were other fruits as well, which tasted even better when chilled. Now, there was no way she would ever give up her ice crystals.

Dozens of heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns opened fire, kicking up clouds of dust. Then, the mortar squad plowed through the enemy's front line, and finally, the Pterosaur squad took to the skies, dropping bomb after bomb on the open ground.

Only after entering the waterway did they hear shouts from outside. The group moved calmly along the channel until they reached the riverbank, where they could hear the commotion in the village. Zhao Xi let out a whistle, and an echo returned from the far bank. They swam across with the children, and someone came to meet them on the other side, ensuring they arrived safely.
