Volume One, Chapter 47: The Vehicle
Gao Qingyun cast a bitter glance at the Prince, whose heart was as hard as iron and completely deaf to his pleas. Fighting back the urge to cry, he turned around in dejection and walked toward the Prince's tent.
Not wanting everyone to worry or be unable to focus on anything else, Su Jin could only offer such comfort to Li Yi and Ghost Hand.
Moreover, increasing the devotion to Osiris would not result in it being shared by Anubis, which explained why those who made sacrifices to Anubis always received meager returns.
Fortunately, the original owner had always behaved and spoken in unconventional ways; otherwise, wouldn't her disguise have been exposed right then and there?
As for Yang Jiao's child, under the treatment of him and Mingzhu, the child gradually recovered some normalcy. Even though he still appeared somewhat frail compared to his peers, at least there was no longer the constant danger of premature death at any moment.
The assassin, who had been quietly launching attacks, let out a miserable scream that startled several more birds into flapping away from the woods.
The outward appearance of indifference toward the opinions and views of others was actually a true reflection of the opposite within one's inner self.
Not long ago, Cao Cao issued a decree seeking talented individuals across the land, declaring that the recommendation of talent would no longer be restricted by moral conduct; as long as someone possessed ability, they would be employed according to their merits.
Originally, they had agreed that very night to stay together, but suddenly Ji Zitong appeared and took Fu Tingshen away. Ever since that day, Fu Tingshen would not even spare her a glance, let alone offer any gentle words.
Zombie: Refined from powerful corpses that possessed a certain status or power during their lifetime. The greater the status and power of the corpse before death, the higher the grade and attack power of the resulting zombie. They possess a certain degree of thought or even reasoning, and can exceptionally well and independently complete tasks assigned by their master.
"I don't know, it seems like there is an important matter, and the Young Master is accompanying him," Mrs. Li answered honestly.
The captain shook his head decisively, his eyes still wide open. Li Tianchou was so infuriated that he felt like slapping the guy across the face.
Zhong Lingyu knew that Young Master Long still harbored deep hatred toward him, blaming him entirely for failing to win Su Rui's affections. It was simply infuriating.
"Speaking of night-pearls, let me tell you a story first." Hearing Gao Chong mention a story, everyone gathered around.
The former Long Shengnan was annoying, but at least he acted like a clown. Now, however, that pair of eyes held a venomous malice, as if the entire world were his sworn enemy. And understandably so—after enduring such inhuman torture, who in the world was unaware of the infamous name of this emasculated young master?
"Bang!" Xiao Yue's right hand grabbed the black withered hand that was fleeing at high speed, and with a squeeze, he crushed it into pieces.
Gao Chong escorted Deng Yu to the center of the carriage circle, having two personal guards protect her closely. He also instructed Zhao Yi to bring the members of the Deng family inside; since they had not received training in emergency response, he hoped they would not cause chaos. What needed to be known right now was what on earth was happening ahead.
"Really? A Profound Sovereign?!" Crying out in astonishment, Tiemu Yun felt a glimmer of hope arise in his heart. According to what the Thor's Hammer had stated initially, eliminating the Evil Wood Cloud required at least the strength of a Profound Sovereign.
The Sky True Immortal indeed felt a slight urge to curse, but reflecting that those aliens ultimately had not destroyed Earth, he felt considerably less aggrieved.
Linlin murmured those two words, her voice laced with tears, and without hesitation, she lunged toward Ye Dongcheng's location. At that moment, she was utterly convinced in her heart that the man standing before her was her father.
"It's a few natives hunting down a young man." As soon as Qian Tu finished speaking, the old man, who had been smiling all over his face just a moment ago, let out a loud cry and hurriedly bolted outside.
Yet the situation on the court remained unchanged. Garnett and Wallace continued to shoulder the offensive banner, beginning to trade blows and batter each other. It was truly tough on the two of them; truthfully, both teams had multiple offensive options beyond just these two positions, yet both coaches tacitly focused their attacks on this single matchup, which simply made one's scalp tingle.
Phil looked at Kobe on the court, noticing that unlike before—when, after missing so many points, he would immediately run to the baseline to demand the ball, bring it coast-to-coast himself, and score even at the risk of injury—he was not doing that now.
It was impossible for Kailin to travel without attracting attention; while the spoils of war could be entrusted to a transport agency, these one hundred and twenty thousand prisoners would inevitably draw gazes no matter which teleportation array they passed through.
At this moment, the broadcast began to announce the nominations and finalists for the Best Country Song category, with the screen cutting to five different creators present at the venue.
Then, long before even vertebrates had evolved, what kind of human-like creatures had once walked upon this planet?
"Uh... perhaps it's because I drank a bit too much alcohol these past two days and my vital energy is too exuberant," Zhou Yucheng awkwardly said, picking up a tissue from Jin Ping's dressing table to wipe away the nosebleed as a cover-up.
Today, we humans only know that the megaliths of Nabta Playa are a pile of haphazardly placed stones. Long ago, some people transported them here from quarries we still cannot identify. But for what purpose?
Zhu Mengjie was very lively and could take a joke. She immediately chimed in, "Sister Ding, you said back in school that our dorm sisters share blessings and hardships together, and share good men... excellent men together. Why bother introducing others? Just lend me your brother-in-law to use tonight." After saying this, she even cast a flirtatious wink at Zhang Ziqiang.
When Xu Xuan looked at this prescription, the medications used by Dr. Su greatly exceeded his expectations. He saw that the formula left on the medicine cabinet contained half a jin of gypsum, four liang of anemarrhena, six qian of dangshen, three qian of licorice, half a jin of scrophularia, six qian of Chinese yam, and three liang of nonglutinous rice combined.
Only as he retreated did it suddenly dawn on him: even if someone were to rescue him, how could they pinpoint his location so accurately within the dense forest? And how could anyone possibly know he was in such dire straits?
To build the Immortal Medical Sect, Wang Zhexi had practically exhausted his entire lifetime's wealth, transferring away numerous plots of land and shops, leaving behind only his own residence, and living a life of extreme austerity.
However, matters having reached this point, the one-armed Jun Tingfan had no other recourse. With merely a cold, piercing glare swept across Feng Qiqi and the others, he leaped into the air and departed Prince Li's manor.
There was another factor: if practitioners had reserved primordial qi stored in their dantian, it was fine—they could directly draw upon it for use. If not, they would have to consume their own cultivation base. Cultivation was hard-earned, and no one was willing to do that.
Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, and Teacher—among the human ethics and relations, although the teacher ranked last, this was still part of the grand outline of human relations. Therefore, the ancients held the saying, "A teacher for one day is a father for life." Such a ceremony was also extremely formal and rigorous.
Chang Shenghuan was different from those thorny, rebellious soldiers. No matter how formidable a rebel was, they would eventually compromise in the face of absolute strength and authority. Chang Shenghuan, on the other hand, would only temporarily smile and say she would obey your orders, and then secretly use the sharpest blade to slice open your heart, leaving you bleeding profusely while completely unaware of it.
