Volume 1, Chapter 48: Attending My Daughter's Engagement Ceremony

"What? You are a designer for the Cheng Corporation?" Wang Qi asked in disbelief.
"It's true, sister-in-law," Lin Baozhu explained.
Jiro repeated the question, which finally made Chizuru look at him, her eyes fixed on him continuously.
Therefore, Bai Xiao was somewhat surprised that this class reunion was being held just three years after high school graduation.
It was obvious that Ding Yi and Xiong Meng were filled with disappointment when they saw the person entering was the bar manager. However, when they heard the manager say that everything was ready, a light of hope flickered back into their eyes. At that moment, Fanyu stood up and invited us to leave, extinguishing that newly lit hope instantly.
She felt that Jiro's emotional state was a bit off right now, though she couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong. She glanced at Ian, who had been standing quietly to the side, hoping he could explain why.
At the mention of spiritual energy bursting through the body, Bai Yuchen naturally thought of that girl Bai Ling, and suddenly felt a sour ache in his stomach.
Although it would be feasible to raise her for a few years, the age gap between them was simply too vast. The optimal reproductive age for a male Spirit Master was under thirty. Did they expect her to lose her innocence and bear a child at sixteen?
Hearing his younger sister's words, Mo Yichen's heart instantly surged with a trace of vigilance, treating Xue Chi entirely as a villain trying to abduct his silly sister.
"Grandfather? Is—is that it? He won't come looking for me tonight, will he?" Telling me to go to sleep right in the middle of this left my heart churning violently.
Chizuru's gaze shifted to Jiangqi Yeko, who was devouring her food voraciously nearby. It seemed that this food wasn't unpalatable after all.
After reciting the vows, the three of us picked up the cups of tea that had been prepared in advance and handed them to Fanyu's parents. We had no idea if this was the correct procedure, but we figured it must be based on how it was portrayed in television dramas.
Just as Asuna retreated, Berserker did something that shocked everyone present: he casually tossed aside the black spear he had just used to block the countless Noble Phantasms of the Golden Archer, and then charged straight toward Naruto.
One must know that Fang Shaoyuan had planted believers among the subordinates of all eight Void Realm masters, and news was being transmitted from them at every single moment.
"I think I can open it using Parseltongue, but we should go find Professor Dumbledore immediately and tell him a student has been taken inside. Besides, we don't even know if Professor Lockhart is dead or alive," Harry said as he ran toward Lockhart.
Watching Duo-duo tend to Alo's bath, applying soothing ointment to each mosquito bite one by one, and repeatedly warning her not to scratch them lest ugly scars be left behind, Mom went downstairs while Alo curled up in bed and suffered through a night of nightmares.
Her strength had naturally been restored—not only restored, but enhanced significantly. Though not quite at the peak of her former Demon Lord days, she was now a match for Boling.
An invisible ripple stirred once again around the Byakugan of Otsutsuki Kaguya. The Water Release technique was deflected; she thrust one hand straight into the Wooden Wall, while her other hand grabbed the Rasengan and clenched her fist, causing the technique to dissipate instantly.
Sasuke and Itachi lurked outside, listening to the conversation within. To Sasuke, Naruto's deployment of the Talk-No-Jutsu seemed entirely like reckless self-indulgence without any plan. Yet, the protagonist plot armor was simply too overwhelming; Nagato ultimately used the Outer Path—Samsara Tensei Technique to resurrect everyone who had died, leaving only the severely wounded to rely on medical treatment.
"Now is not the time to consider candidates for the Kazekage; we must organize a rescue mission for the Kazekage immediately," the five people standing at the door said upon hearing the argument inside.
Since Baolong was intimately familiar with the layout of the kitchen, the glorious mission of administering the drug fell upon him. Qiuming and the other two hid in the firewood shed, watching Xu Zhen's assigned sentries patrolling back and forth along the walls, terrified that Baolong might be discovered and ruin all their hard work.
