Volume 1, Chapter 66: Ye Chuiyun Injured
However, judging by how things stand now, it was nothing like that at all. It was simply because she is an eternal narcissist, a deep-rooted, millennia-old daffodil spirit.
"We just got back from shopping today. Since you aren't coming back, Brother Qiyu and I won't cook dinner for you," Ling Baolu replied.
Stepping outside the dojo, the warm sunlight washed over him, prompting Lin Xiao to stretch lazily.
Ming Nan threw a kick straight toward Michael's heart, but Michael dodged it agilely. Sidestepping the blow, he raised his hand and struck directly at Ming Nan's throat.
Though such melodramatic events frequently occurred within this circle, they were mostly treated by people as mere after-dinner gossip.
"Path-Seeking Monastery... is it somewhat inferior to the Golden Crow Sect?" Master Bunsheng spread his hands in helpless resignation.
Ji Liunian sat on the sofa, watching Sheng Shi conduct a conference call via Bluetooth while muttering in an incomprehensible foreign language.
The three of them suddenly felt a chill in the room, as if a cold gust of wind had blown in. Being at the summit during winter, cold winds were entirely normal. Yet, whether due to the winter season or something else, this breeze was bone-chillingly cold.
Du Qianjie remained noncommittal, shouting downward: "Give the Yinao family three days to evacuate their territory. Those who disobey will bear the consequences!" Without waiting for a response from below, he turned around and left with Dong Yixin and the other person.
This beam of black light did not pause at all upon hitting the Aegis; it pierced straight through and struck Kyoko.
Butterflies continued to trail after her along the way, refusing to scatter even after she sat down. Wan Yanan sat tall with her head held high, countless astonished gazes converging upon her as she became the most dazzling focal point in the arena.
Actually, it would still be better to have Yuan Sui take on the role he currently plays, Ling Suichen thought, watching the patient's complexion gradually shift from flushed to pale. If Yuan Sui were here, his words would carry much more weight, wouldn't they? Or perhaps Han Yue could do it too.
"I knew it..." Qilin said huffily before directly hanging up the phone.
Lu Qiao first surveyed his surroundings; the raw materials were basically exhausted, yielding quite a bit more than expected—over a hundred bombs.
Parents remained silent for a long time after learning the whole story. The honest father rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for the bank deposit slip, only to find five hundred yuan.
"Well, I'm quite sure you saw something, which is why you were impulsive enough to have a nosebleed," Lin Yiyang teased playfully.
Wu Lizong had already crossed one foot over the threshold. Hesitating for a moment, he glanced at the guards standing in two rows inside the doorway, and mustered the courage to step his other foot in as well.
In his dream, he sat properly by the windowsill. A gust of wind blew past, and as he blinked his eyes, he suddenly realized he was slowly falling downward.
However, under Huo Qifeng's earnest gaze, Zhuang Xinna couldn't help but lower her head shyly. The antenna-like cowlick on top of her head drooped down as well, leaving her unable to properly organize her chunibyo rambling.
I once thought that Ang Ji was my love, but later I understood that it was merely an illusion brought about when our system failed to learn carefully enough from humans.
"Y-You are the venerable one!" Nian Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, paying the price for his carelessness with his life.
"Immortals words are misguided. Mount Shu has a covenant of alliance with my Kunlun to jointly fight against the Liding Mountain. Yet now, the sect leader of Liding Mountain is injured right here, and instead of executing him, you extend a helping hand. Doesn't this go against the alliance between our two sects?" Sect Master Wu demanded coldly with a placid expression.
The monitoring room was in utter disarray; several surveillance cameras had been smashed to pieces by the intruders, and their power cords unplugged.
Li Ruhai raised an eyebrow and vanished in a single stride. A moment later, he returned carrying Wanzi, Sawako, and Chigami Noriko. Wanzi had been in the middle of assigning tasks to several branch offices in her office when the scene shifted in the blink of an eye. Sawako and Chigami Noriko experienced much the same, cluelessly snatched away by Li Ruhai.
The screen displayed neither a desktop nor a blank screen, but rather a sea of static snow, just like the black-and-white televisions of the 1970s and 1980s, flickering continuously and emitting a harsh, crackling hiss of electrical current.
Everyone moved in stealth. They were all at the peak of the Greater Heavenly Realm. Although I am not, my strength is definitely superior.
His finger tapped on the member registration button. Once the page opened, he began filling out the registration information earnestly. Upon completing the registration, he immediately accessed the webpage where his video was hosted and cast his own sacred, albeit rigged, vote.
Yan Wushuang and I shared far too many memories. Those memories were engraved deep within my soul, making it impossible for me to forget them for all eternity.
Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Bao Zi, saying there was a problem with the Ancient Blood Spirit Curse and asking him to return. Yan Nanxian looked at Su Chen, hesitating indecisively.
Seeing this, Hua Zhi was not one to show weakness. Taking a few steps forward, she supported Lady Yang by her other arm. Yet before they had walked even two steps, Lady Yang let out a shrill scream, looking as if she had seen a vicious ghost. Trembling all over, she shrank into Hua Jiu's arms, refusing to even look at Hua Zhi, utterly terrified to that extent.
Right behind the three junior brothers, a massive rock in the stone wall was slowly moving, though at a very sluggish pace. They pressed themselves against the side, watching that heavy stone slab slide inward bit by bit.
Xuanyuan Tianxin took a light breath. Looking at the direction where the fourth heavenly tribulation had vanished, she suddenly withdrew her soul-chase spear. At this action of retracting her spear, Cangsu and Xifeng in the distance raised their eyebrows slightly.
That noblewoman's exceptionally resentful tone made her wish she could throw herself right at Mu Chenche's feet in hopes that he would dispense justice for her.
Since she had walked through this otherworldly realm, she only wished to live according to her own inclinations, unbound by worldly conventions and doctrines.
The playboy flipped the bottle over, presenting the side with the trademark toward the water surface. Sure enough, the unmanned helicopter took the bait and descended in altitude once again.
Yet upon second thought, Pei Qingzhi realized that as they walked all the way just now, she had indeed argued with that prince the entire journey.
Having stayed at the Protector branch for quite some time and finished handling her business, Ye Mo no longer lingered. She swiped her freshly minted ID card to open the elevator and left the branch.
Realizing it was Liu Wei, the boss had no intention of punishing him. If this matter had involved any other student, even those thugs, the homeroom teacher would have put on the airs of a proper educator to lecture them severely. But with Liu Wei, he truly didn't know what to say.
