Volume One, Chapter 33: Young Master, You've Gone a Bit Too Far

Walking out, Wen Qiyan took Helian Ze with him. Before leaving, he cast one last lingering glance at Lin Xinyao before shutting the door.

The sinister-faced man scowled, threatening, "If you don't eat, I won't give you any food from now on! I'll let you starve to death!" He then pulled out his manhood from his trousers.

Mu Qingya naturally understood Noble Consort Li's thoughts. That Nanny Zhao had secretly helped her handle so many dirty deeds; now that she was dead, Noble Consort Li would likely feel much more at ease, even if it came with a pang of regret.

The entire Pearl Harbor seemed to be in deep slumber, completely unaware of the grim reaper approaching from the sky. However, if one were to observe closely near the ground, they would see squads of anti-aircraft gunners crouched in reinforced bunkers, ready to strike at any moment.

Zhuo Yifan was shocked. She had not expected Yao Yi to be so ruthless toward the Biyun Sect. She had assumed that for the sake of their shared origins, Yao Yi would surely agree to her terms. It seemed her initial judgment had been wrong.

Lan Yu’s eyes were filled with tears. He waved his hands frantically and cried out, "No!" But he was in such heart-wrenching pain and his spiritual energy was so scattered that he could not gather any strength, no matter how hard he tried.

Of course, not all these orphans entered the government or the military; many joined the intelligence bureau or ventured into the business world, helping Fang Xiaoyu manage his various enterprises. The Huang brothers, too, each went their separate ways to pursue their own futures.

Why must I live in a slum? Why must I be poor? Why must I be toyed with by others? Why?

After Xiangyi finished speaking, she walked to the vanity mirror to check her appearance and smooth her hair before turning to leave.

While driving back, feeling bored, Chen Chulai voiced the idea that had suddenly sprung to mind.

Yi Feng twisted his body in pain and sat up weakly. He felt a blankness in his mind and a crushing soreness throughout his body, yet there was a strange sensation within him, as if something new had been added to his consciousness.

If one were to speak of the most miraculous site in Ling Shan Temple, it would be the Maitreya Buddha inside the ancient Buddhist grotto. The statue, formed from natural stalactites, resides within the cave, and the narrowest part of the entrance is the Buddha's belly.

A cold, eerie voice suddenly echoed through the pillared palace, and the black-robed wizard, trembling all over, jerked his head up.

At that moment, the corpses of the three Shushan disciples, riddled with bloody holes, suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of minced meat. Brain matter and blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a nauseating, bloody stench.

A cry of alarm came from the war dancers opposite. Their tight defensive line immediately widened while simultaneously reforming its original formation, causing the opportunity the delegation had struggled so hard to win to slip away once more.

Deng Lin had arranged for Wang Fang to stay in Oasis Garden as his hidden mistress. For now, Deng Lin’s infatuation with Wang Fang was still in its peak, exciting phase.

The seat looked exactly as it had before, as if nothing had happened at all.

Chen Chulai looked at Jiang Qingfeng, realizing she had left the decision-making entirely to him. It was supposed to be Jiang Qingfeng handling it, but it had turned into him negotiating again.

Chen Qiaoshan could only marvel at the peculiar twists of fate; there were many famous pundits who had graduated from Peking University, and he had happened to run into one today.

His gentle gaze made Chu Yange’s heart skip several beats. She bit her lip lightly and squeezed his large hand in response.

During the grade-level competition, their class had missed first place by only one point and was eliminated.

These dragon bones were extremely hard and excellent for refining magical treasures and artifacts. Grinding them into powder was also highly effective for concocting pills.

I didn't know what to say; I just reached out to pull her, but she instinctively recoiled in the opposite direction, seeming particularly unwilling to see me. Hadn't everything been fine at noon?

There was also a group of people dancing chaotically to the music, holding wine glasses in one hand and bracing themselves against the wall with the other.

I still remember how countless eyes were fixed on me then, all waiting for me to say the words they had waited countless years to hear. But I discovered that I had been struck dumb.

The class currently had fewer than ten students, all of whom were the cream of the crop from the machine workshop. Even the talented Shi Baniang had not been selected this time, the reason being that she had joined the Luo Family Machine Workshop too recently and still lacked understanding of machinery.

News came from the foreign merchants that the herdsmen, who ate meat all year round, often suffered from greasy stomachs and a lack of appetite. They used this tea to brew water or boil it with cow and sheep milk, which could cut through the grease, refresh the spirit, and strengthen the body.

Li Er was slightly stunned, sensing that Li Yi had more to say, but he did not refuse. Instead, he stood up, took Empress Zhangsun by the hand, and led the way out.

"Even so, I am glad. I am willing to be used by her!" Reno was also getting angry. As a partner, shouldn't he be supporting him?

The final blow shattered his armor directly. The Guardian of Light’s expression was ghastly; in an instant, he went from looking like a man of middle age to one who had been constipated for a month. With a "puff," he collapsed to the ground, and a pair of gauntlets dropped from his body.

The valley was filled with towering cliffs and massive boulders; there was no telling what kind of monsters they would encounter next. The deeper they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became. The air was thick with the scent of death, and it was clear that something was waiting for them in the depths of this bright yet profound canyon.

That evening, a light drizzle began to fall. The clouds gathered overhead, blocking the light and causing night to descend earlier than usual. The cloud layer was not thick, allowing 'Tess' to still peek out faintly, providing a glimmer of light to travelers caught in the rain at night—provided they had forgotten to bring their Everlasting Torches.
