Watching the two still sound asleep beside him, he couldn’t help but grin foolishly. He needed to meditate and cultivate to regulate the energy within himself; after all, there was an exam tomorrow. Qin Luoqi remained where she was, her eyes radiating charm and affection as she gazed intently at Gu Yanzhi.

After growing up, Zhou Xuan had also begun to care about beauty, favoring branded goods and other distractions; naturally, her grades declined. Lin Tian didn’t hold anyone back—he just fed into their flaws. Whether they stayed or left, it was all the same since the money was so little. Truly a scoundrel. Yet, high-end players like Qin Luoqi, who passed through the company of countless men without leaving a trace, were most fond of such scoundrels.

However, Jian Yao never imagined that Jian Yangyang’s child would be so shameless—not only allowing people to throw stones at him but also trying to accuse the villain first. “Then thank you, village chief. We shall take our leave now,” Cheng Feng said with a relaxed expression, standing up and lightly clapping his hands.

“There are many villagers gathered outside, all muttering curses and such,” Chen Ajiu said as she took her seat and poured herself a cup of tea. Liu Xiansen didn’t understand why, after eating the fruit, he didn’t turn into black water; instead, he felt his physical strength and agility increase somewhat. Qiao Mimi bit her lip, trying to shake off his hand, but he held on tightly, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

Because I feared the three deceased might have lingering attachments, I suggested a cremation ceremony. At first, the villagers didn’t understand what cremation meant, but after I explained, they realized it. However, they considered it a desecration of the dead and wanted a burial instead. The four waited in the cave for an hour until Zheng Chen broke through the last two layers of the barrier, and they flew out.

Moreover, with Liu Meijuan now breathing heavily, Li Erlong couldn’t help but sneak glances at her ample bosom. “Really just an ordinary person?” Cang Zhe silently put away his pistol, full of regret as he turned to leave.

Qin Fen’s attitude remained resolute; he insisted on explaining the matter clearly before letting it go. With just two fingers, the Pingyang Sword was trapped midair. Luo Yu appeared, but in his eyes, the Pingyang Sword was not caught by fingers but had fallen once again into the beast’s jaws.

The accountant looked on, pretending to know nothing, a heartless auditor devoid of emotion. Before Aimiya could object, Zhao Yan gave a sly smile, “This is an order from General Zi. If anything happens to you, I’d lose face before him.” Zhao Yan knew Aimiya was obedient to Zi Qianjun, so he deliberately invoked this great hero.

“Stop! This is the sacred precinct of the priest’s temple; no one is allowed to approach!” As Sanbao reached beneath the altar, two senior Spirit Emperors emerged from the shadows and barred his way.

“No, but judging by his appearance, he seems anxious. Does the young master know him?” The servant was suspicious, as Yang Lin seemed merely a businessman, and he doubted any connection with his young master.

Sure enough, when Shen Feng’s divine perception touched the arc star’s Yuan Pearl, it spun rapidly, its dull color brightening slightly. The arc star snorted softly and slowly opened its eyes.

So he fired a shot, knocking Asan flying as his body crashed against a wall, bricks tumbling down. I sighed and sat beneath the city wall, the blood-red sword leaning against my leg. Murong Shanshan squatted nearby, hugging her snow-white legs, silently watching me.

Li Mu was sensible; those who were not usually appeared early. So Li Mu quickly retreated, becoming a fleeting shadow before Luo Hen could react. Min’er and the others had business to attend to and did not linger, heading downstairs to meet with Lianyue and the others to manage Yao Garden.

When Xue Wufeng was less than twenty meters away, a fierce wind swept overhead. The snow eagle sensed its master’s danger, swiftly attacking with its snowy claws. Sanbao rolled on the ground, barely dodging the strike.

“All right, I’ll go first. You wait here,” Xue Wufeng commanded, striding rapidly toward the seven-colored light column at the valley’s center.

Far away at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, Vice President Zhao Engui and many leaders from the university and departments were closely monitoring the competition. Upon receiving the news, Vice President Zhao immediately instructed the head of the publicity department to prepare various promotional activities.

This was an era without cotton; aside from fur for warmth, only wadding was used. What is wadding? It was the leftover fibers extracted from damaged cocoons, fine silk from good cocoons, and broken threads sold by weight, bought by commoners to stuff their clothes against the cold.

Heisen and General Shen each opened the chests before them. Wu Huateng, through the smart monitor, saw the contents: one chest contained bundles of white items, the other stacks of cash—indeed American dollars.

However, Wu Huateng did not use these forces to vie for dominance but continuously gathered materials, steadily expanding the Earth Trading Company while secretly establishing another power.

“There is, but glue is scarce.” Under the Qin Dynasty’s rule, with twenty million households, six million new garments were produced yearly. The problem was that cloth armor required not only fabric but also glue. Fabric was easy to obtain, glue was rare.

Then suddenly, thirteen masters from various factions appeared, jointly ambushing Lin Yunxi’s mysterious and elegant feline summon, only to be instantly wiped out by her furious ultimate move.

In the next moment, a silver light swiftly appeared, enveloping Xu Ming’s fragment. Instantly, the fragment dissolved like a bubble, transforming into threads of luminous essence.

Because the truck carrying supplies could not transport many employees, these workers needed to take the train, which took at least two days.

“Contact Yuehua Company immediately. Our Hailan Pharmaceutical Company is willing to cooperate and become their manufacturer. Meanwhile, order the cessation of all our proprietary drug production, and no new drugs will be developed,” some shrewd businessmen immediately sought opportunities to switch industries.

After twisting and turning, the fat man stepped out of the forest; I saw him freeze—indeed, with such dressing, he looked quite similar.

Liu Ming was shocked and quickly shielded Liu Fei. Perhaps they lacked talent and cultivation, but they had courage and were not cowardly. This was also why they chose Liu Yifeng.
