Volume One, Chapter 31: An Encounter with a Malicious Roommate
Luo Lie did not know where he was, though he was certain they remained inside the spire. The structure had clearly ceased its movement; the temporal reversal they had previously experienced did not recur, and gravity had returned to the interior, eliminating the state of weightlessness.
Xiao Xue heard Ren Jian answer the phone and, knowing he was free to talk, felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Brother Ren, I don't have classes this afternoon. I accompanied some classmates to the supermarket to shop, and they've already headed back to school. I stayed behind, so I thought I'd call to see what you were up to."
Upon hearing Wang Jiu’s account, everyone in the brood fell silent, plunged into profound shock.
"Your Profound Realm was completed many years ago—or perhaps it has always existed. It is this very world of the Shaman-Doctor Path. This time, you have merely sent it to where it belongs." Da Yu seemed to possess a wealth of knowledge, yet his words left Jiang Han filled with questions.
Without the Northern Imperial Guard, Commander Chou no longer had the leverage to bluster; most importantly, he had lost the Emperor’s trust.
"An apprentice? That was last week!" a tall man with a towel draped around his neck said, looking thoroughly annoyed.
"Xueyan, come and watch the wine." Lin Daiyu was clearly in high spirits as she walked to the iron stove to roast the meat herself.
In other words, the current Jiang Han had effectively discarded all memories from before twenty years ago, living a new life for two decades with an independent personality and an independent existence.
"Alright, since Young Master Gu has ceased his shouting, it is time for me to speak of serious matters." Xiao Chongning toyed with his dagger, wiping the blood from its blade.
Silently watching Zhu Tianhuo, Xiao Yan did not speak. Such inner knots, in the end, had to be untied by oneself; compared to Zhu Tianhuo, his own pressures were no less severe.
Although she knew that Qing Yu spoke the truth and that Baili Ziqian had only her best interests at heart, Shiyao simply did not want to see him, nor did she wish to owe him anything.
She blinked, negotiating with a playful, chiding expression: "Don’t be so heavy-handed in the future." Her lips, kissed a bit too fiercely, were aching slightly; she figured they would be swollen again soon.
Before anyone could peer inside, Li Dong suddenly sensed an intense threat within the stone tower, as if something truly terrifying lurked within.
On the way there, Liu Bei had found it strange. Mount Baitou was not far from Fanyang County; they should have traveled light to resolve the battle quickly. Yet, before they departed, Zhao Yi had looked up at the sky and ordered his men to gather a cartload of grease and cloth. Not only did this slow their march, but it also left Liu Bei utterly bewildered.
He had intended to take advantage of the empty defenses in Zhongmou County to seize the town as a retreat for the Yellow Turban army, but the arrival of Zhao Yi’s forces had disrupted his plans.
Aside from Zhao Yi’s personal guard, there were no maids in the residence. Zhao Yi hadn't thought much of it while living alone, but now he felt that having a maid was quite necessary.
A flood of videos and posts about 3G began to appear, bombarding everyone so that they would understand what 3G was in the shortest possible time.
"What do you all think? Should we go down and take a look?" Thinking of this, Captain Song began to seek the others' opinions.
Cheng Yufeng furrowed her brows. If she wasn't mistaken, it was a viral infection. In this era, there were no antibiotics; once one contracted such a disease, there was nothing to do but wait for death at home.
"Uncle Yan, look who I brought!" Gu Jie affectionately threw his arm around the man's shoulder and pointed toward Gu Yao behind him.
When I closed my eyes and could still see the Taoist priestess’s corpse, and could still feel her body growing cold and stiff in my arms, Yan Shao could not control his emotions and pulled me into a fierce embrace.
Gloomy black clouds pressed down almost to the very top of the city of Il, as if one could reach up and tear away a piece of the storm.
If you find a reason to leave now, you might still live on in his beautiful memories. When you reach our age, you can still bring them out to savor.
Lu Jin successfully married Li Yan, and the two shared a deep affection. After her younger sister was married and her brother came of age, life for the Lu family improved significantly.
Shen Yan looked at Xiaoyao’s reaction but said nothing more. He walked to the stern of the boat, watching Xiaoyao’s beautiful profile in silence.
Just as Lin Zhengyue was feeling utterly exhausted, Lin Ke’er returned from town with good news.
"If it’s just claustrophobia, why hasn't Liu Zhiling woken up yet?" Xiaoyao asked, feeling perplexed.
After all, regarding the matter of the fashion week, Qin Miao had not blamed her; instead, he had allowed her play to be released early—a special gesture of care.
Guo Mo decided to forge a horse-slaying saber for Ye Qu, based on his characteristics and borrowing from future concepts. It could be held with one hand or two; a single strike could cleave both man and horse in two. Seeing this, Guo Jing was delighted and requested one for himself.
"No, I don't want to go back. Uncle Yunze’s TV is big, and I like watching the big one!" Xinxin sat motionless; no matter how her grandmother pulled at her, she refused to go home.
"You really dared to take it!" Wu Meiniang’s tone held a trace of resentment. Zhao Wujiang had only just returned to Chang'an, and yet he was about to set off on a long journey again.
By this time, the Retired Emperor Li Zunxu, currently in Zhongxing Prefecture, had finished his preparations and climbed into the carriage heading east.
