Before the child was even born, the Quan family had already considered many names, but one after another was thought of, only to be rejected in turn.
"What? My words carry no weight now? I am already being polite by not stopping you from accepting those things," Xiang Xiatian said with dissatisfaction.
He controlled his voice well, just enough for the troubled Lan Xinpei to hear clearly. Her anger flared, and she vented all her frustration on the bracelet in her hand.
Everyone at the table was laughing when Ciya's phone rang. She whispered something to Yan Zhuolang, then stood up and walked out to the lobby to take the call.
Watching Bai Rusong’s retreating back, Han Yun couldn't help but sigh, unsure if she was sighing at his foolishness or her own sorrow.
Lou Yichen looked around, then remembered that he seemed to have the key to this house, so he turned and went downstairs to retrieve it.
"That settles it. No son, no legitimate wife—if you can marry him, it would be perfect," Fu Yinling said.
Seeing that she was no longer as tense as before, the Prince of Qin bowed his head and kissed her forehead. Her body stiffened. He continued by kissing her cheeks, feeling her body tremble slightly. He felt a pang of distress—what was wrong with her? Was she afraid of him, or was she unwilling to give herself to him?
Seeing that he practiced wood-attribute techniques, one could not help but lower their estimation of his strength.
That was his own immortal fruit space, an infinitely vast immortal fruit space; storing these spiritual fragrant bone pills and divine dragon bone beasts would be no problem at all.
"I am truly flattered to be able to dine with the Demon King," Ali said with a coy giggle. Radiating charm, she swayed her waist and let Ye Feng lead her out of the great hall.
An Zhichen said without hesitation, "Jade must be carved to become a vessel." He remembered that when he was learning martial arts, his whole body would ache so much he couldn't get up, but he still had to rise when the time came to practice. Thus, An Zhichen believed that a strict teacher produces brilliant students, and he had to discipline the two children severely.
Lu Siniang said it was a two-story building, but it was actually three. The Song people’s terminology for buildings differed from later generations; they called the second floor the first floor. So, when they said it was two stories, it was actually three, and when they said they were going up to the first floor, they were actually heading to the second.

"Sister Shangguan, is Sister Xue'er dead?" Huangfu Wan'er, like Shang Ying'er, assumed that Xue'er had truly sacrificed herself, her heart heavy with grief.
If she could have her father back, she would be willing to give up everything, even if it meant returning to that life of poverty where she had nothing.
"Who are you calling a demon?" The tone dropped to freezing point. As if stung by Lulu's words, Elise's fair face was covered in frost.
Du Bai was pleasantly surprised, while Peng Yongshan was gripped by fear. Although he had forged the Soul-Extinguishing Sword and knew it was a mid-level spiritual treasure, it now appeared that its rank had surpassed that, upgrading to a high-level spiritual treasure.
It was just like a war in the business world; if a rival company developed a new project and you wanted to steal it, what should you do?
Mu Feng performed a backflip and landed steadily. Four blood-red tails flared out from behind him.
"Haha... good, good, good... this is fantastic! This is definitely a heaven-grade treasure! We’ve hit the jackpot, we’ve really hit it big this time!" Tu Shuang roared in excitement, while the strange fish beside him looked on with envy and shock.
Ye Yang took a sip of tea. It was bitter at first, but within that bitterness was another flavor that was hard to pin down—as if one were lost in the mist—followed by a lingering, refreshing sweetness that made one feel as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.
Opening another large wooden chest, a rich scent of medicinal herbs wafted out. In fact, Mu Yi had smelled it earlier, which was why he chose to open this box last.
"Speak properly!" Chu Zifeng, standing on the dragon's head, kicked the broken half of the Nieyuan Spear embedded in it and said with ill intent.
Take Tu Ming, for example: he had awakened a Dragon Martial Soul, which granted him the powerful skill "Fire Dragon Arm." If he consumed Soul-Cleansing Liquid, he could advance his Dragon Martial Soul further and obtain new skills; if he consumed an advanced version, he could even transform into a giant dragon.
Suddenly, a beast’s roar echoed from the cave, scaring Tu Ming into hiding behind a boulder and activating his Martial Soul to conceal himself.
If not for this reason, given his lecherous nature, he would have dealt with Wei Nuo and Luo Lianxue right there in the freezing snow, rather than putting on this hypocritical facade of a refined gentleman.

"Enough talk! The four of you, come at me together! I will only use one move! If you can't beat me, we leave immediately!" Lin Yu clenched his fists and stepped forward. This remark also caught the attention of the two who had already entered the mountain gate.
Indeed, the NetStar Game Awards wasn't exactly headline news, so it was understandable that they would send a newcomer.
However, Chen Li had managed to make contact, and he even knew that the Dragon team had already been approached by others regarding the D language.
Zhang Xiaoxiao also wanted to wear those beautiful gloves—fingerless gloves, leather gloves, and those wool ones... but unfortunately, such things were too high-end to exist in this society, so she could only look on with longing.
Ling Jun was the only one among their fellow disciples who had children, and he had two at that.
The players from both sides spread out to their respective halves, leaving only the four referees and the team captains in the center.
Outside the dilapidated Mountain God Temple, there was a clamor of voices, but inside, it was silent as usual. The mice that usually scurried under the statue were now hiding in their holes, quietly observing the intruders.
In the league, Manchester City was invincible; no team in the Premier League could pose any threat to them.
After Modric retired, Croatia inevitably entered a rebuilding phase. Two consecutive losses meant that their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages were now purely theoretical.
The Crown Princess still wanted to maintain a reputation for virtue, but the Crown Prince didn't care for it at all. I fear that no matter what she does, it will only result in his annoyance and dislike.
Bei Shu: "At the time, after they finished talking to us, we were so angry we laughed. Then we just found an excuse to turn them down."
