Chapter 40

At this moment, the waters of the Clear Water River suddenly churned. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the water turned murky and foul, emitting waves of putrid stench.

"Number Twelve, you are right. In my current state, it is indeed difficult to turn things around."

As for the subtle signs between her and Jiang Sen, she perhaps thought she had concealed them well, unaware that they had long been exposed. For in matters of love, the bystander always sees more clearly than those involved.

Shao Shu took their hands, one on each side, and tried to invite them inside, but both stopped and shook their heads.

Lin Shan then asked Xiao Qing to show his payment code and transferred fifty thousand yuan directly.

"Director Huo." Lu Zhiyi offered a calm smile, not offering much of a response before knowing the intention of his visit.

Although the position of Crown Prince might still be difficult to secure, at least he would prevent matters from spiraling further into chaos.

Without any technique, just charging blindly as if in a deserted land, sweeping through with a fierce intensity, she suddenly felt even more hateful and sank her teeth in. Hearing a muffled groan in her ear, she felt a sudden sense of powerlessness and rested her head on Xia’s shoulder.

After this ordeal, I completely abandoned the idea of riding the Ghost-Faced Flame Beast and simply led it by the reins all the way back to Mount Dushuo.

The true energy within my Dantian surged uncontrollably toward the jade pendant. Lin Shan was greatly alarmed; not knowing what might happen, he immediately severed the connection between his energy and the pendant.

This man paid attention to her at every moment, constantly bestowing upon her the care she craved.

Zhou Xiaolian’s breathing grew rapid. In the man’s hands, her body was like an inexhaustible treasure, being toyed with carefully and intently.

The old farmer looked at Dian Feng, and Dian Feng stared back with a faint smile; both shared a tacit understanding not to expose one another.

Sun Zhe was very obedient to me now, calling me "sister" with honeyed sweetness. Whatever I said, he followed through, sending Su Qiannan home first.

I waited quietly for Shen Linfeng to return, my hand gently tracing my chest, where the tooth marks were exceptionally clear.

Gu Chen knew that in front of these two titans, although he was also a Heavenly Emperor, he was truly just a junior for now.

Seeing Aunt Mei’s phone number, I felt a deep fear. She was a constant reminder that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, watching me at all times.

Rain fell upon her, soaking her fiery red hair and her brown martial attire.

Being within the Samsara Disk, an artifact of the Primordial Realm ancestor level, perhaps only those who participated in its creation could move about so freely.

After settling the bill and leaving, Manager Chen dared not make things difficult for me. Even though it wasn't a full month, he counted it as one, including a small bonus, totaling seven or eight thousand yuan.

The Empress sat at the head of the table, looking at her son with great joy. However, perhaps due to the long separation, Cheng Gu’s gaze toward the Empress was extremely distant.

The bone urn did not crack into pieces as he had imagined; it stood firmly in the shrine, completely unmoved.

Qiao Zhixuan could not imagine that she had wasted years of her youth on Pei Ze. If she had met this wealthy man earlier, she would have been a high-society wife by now.

Having been married for so many years, this seemed to be the first time she had given him a gift. How could he not be happy?

The attending physicians responsible for Qiao Chu were all leading figures and authorities in the medical field.

The outhouse was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. He felt his way along the wall, stood before the pit, and just as he unzipped his pants, he saw a vague, dark shadow standing against the wall.

Zhou Ge was still laughing with his usual unrestrained charm, watching Kui Xinyue and Gui Teng play off each other as if watching a play—which, in truth, he very much enjoyed doing.

Hearing this, the "Smiling Tiger" took a deep breath to calm down, though his brows remained tightly knitted. "He has not a shred of affection for Shasha. My sister must never marry him in the future!" Declaring his stance clearly, the Smiling Tiger clenched his fists.

Xun’er was helpless but had to comply. Fortunately, the ancestral graves had been visited during the day, so the ceremony was just a formality and very simple. As soon as dusk fell, the family went to the street corner to burn paper clothes for the departed.

Once word of her waking up reached them, the students of Class F gathered, every single one of them, within just a few days.

"You speak of it as if it were supernatural, so how is this thing formed? Are you saying that the giant clam you mentioned is born with this transparency?" Jennifer pressed.

Soaring into the sky, the members of the Hidden Dragon Hall brought out barrels of liquid that emitted an abnormally pungent odor, wearing wicked grins.

I certainly could not say that Yin Li would not make it to the finals, otherwise, she might relax her efforts in the competition, which is not what we wanted to see.

When Yang Ling heard her say this, he cursed internally. It turned out that on his wedding night, what he had touched was a damn stick. Thinking of this, Yang Ling felt like dying. Because of this farce, he suffered for another year or so before finally losing his virginity of over twenty years.

Zhang Hongfan let out a roar, exerting force from his wrists to push Yang Yizhuo’s spear backward, instantly bending the weapon into a crescent shape. He freed one hand to catch Zhang Tianye’s blade with his bare palm. With a dull thud, the tip of the blade pressed against the center of his palm.

That soft, boneless, and smooth sensation made Wan Tianxiong’s heart flutter, his entire body heating up.

"Tell me." Ji Cheng saw Piaoxian looking at him with such innocence and was overjoyed.

There were three silent, floating continents, desolate and devoid of any living beings. But one day, a gate appeared on each of them: the Gate of Light, the Gate of Darkness, and the Gate of All Living Beings, just as Liu Xing and the others knew.

Day after day passed. Old Man Miao came to chat with me every morning, and he was nowhere to be found the rest of the time.

Stepping forward, he found no sign of the four, and no sounds of fighting came from other directions either. Could these people really fly to the heavens or burrow into the earth? He couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment.

Zhang Yi had something left unsaid: if he taught the Qi-condensing technique to the tall man, he would be certain to win the gold belt. If he did not teach him, the tall man would struggle to win it. Lu Minmin would definitely teach the technique, so she would surely obtain the gold belt.
