Volume One, Chapter 39: The Old Man Was Him All Along

"Huh? You must have the wrong person! I'm just a cleaner, I can't do anything else." Yu Yaxuan smiled awkwardly, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

She had heard before about wealthy people hiring personal housekeepers, but that was always done by pretty young girls with professional training.

Moreover, she hadn't understood Ye Shaobai previously, and had been anxious to avoid speaking with him. But thinking about it now, acting that way was truly excessive. If Ye Shaobai refused to speak to her under such circumstances, she would feel utterly suffocated and miserable too.

Although she knew houses in the capital were extremely difficult to purchase, did one really have to be a local native to buy one?

Thinking of the refugees and the food they saw by the roadside along this journey, everyone felt immensely grateful that the steamed buns they were currently eating were made of fine white flour, and that they had hot water to drink without being picky at all.

Combining these three elements, Jiang Liu found that he had completely fallen head over heels for the lolita named "Qingqing".

Hua Hengheng took the cup, glanced at it, and seeing that a large amount of water remained inside, his brows twitched slightly.

Gazing at the words written by a certain senior predecessor, Xu Yong slowly moved his finger away from the Weibo icon. Very well, since someone had already spoken out in such a manner, he would temporarily refrain from jumping into the fray.

Therefore, in a split second, all emergency response operations began to be conducted in my name. Even the engineering and chemical defense troops responsible for frontline implementation coordinated with military leadership, hoping these forces would make an exception under the state of emergency and accept my command and dispatch.

Gao Qian glanced at the tall building through his spiritual sense once more and retreated. His spiritual sense could only exist within the Interstices—at least for the time being.

With a roar, Gao Qian was startled to see towering flames suddenly erupt from the opposite Greek encampment.

It was just that the marriages of her three older brothers had all been settled, and since she was already nineteen, it would be quite unreasonable not to discuss betrothal prospects any longer.

"Good. As long as you know what you're doing, I can rest easy. Your mother and I just saw a lot of chaotic things on the internet and were worried about you," his dad chimed in from the side.

In the school hallway, Lena stood looking like a big boss after a massive shopping spree: wearing a brand-new T-shirt, an outer gray trench coat, a black-spotted ultra-short skirt, black silk stockings on her legs, and knee-high leather boots.

No kidding around—leaving aside the fact that the Five-Colored Heavenly Spirit Jade had to be saved for Xu Shiyu, even if he had a few extra pieces, he wouldn't dare rashly give one to You Ruolan. After all, there was no knowing whether You Ruolan's soul could break free from the suppression of the Nine-Colored Pearl once it grew stronger. If she grew powerful and escaped from the pearl, it would spell catastrophic trouble.

"Hehe, looks like my luck is pretty good! I ran into one right off the bat!" Yuan Ying rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.

Having succeeded in a single strike through their combined assault, the two immediately folded their arms across their chests with their swords and leaped backward, as if dodging something terrifying.

Rin forcefully suppressed her emotions, nodded stiffly, and called out "Brother Shi." Having no clue about the situation, Yun Jun was far more natural; she smiled politely and said reservedly, "Hello."

Yet there was a question she had to ponder: which faction did the Supreme behind Wang Yidong represent? By taking Wang Yidong as her personal direct disciple, she would essentially become tied to the Supreme backing him. Therefore, the faction and stance represented by that Supreme were considerations she could not afford to ignore.

Before long, an obscure guild named "Black Fish" in Yishui City issued a system announcement, initiating a territory contest against Li Tang, who had taken over "Zhanyi" less than two days prior.

The mysterious figure's body turned illusory as six Martial Spirit experts transformed into streaks of light and stationed themselves in six directions, tightly surrounding Xun Liu and the Pu Blood Demonic Group. Then, right above their heads, a dazzling flash of spiritual light flickered, and a barrier abruptly materialized, blocking outsiders from observing the situation inside the battle array.
