Chapter 39

Qin Zuoyin replied: "There is a gym up ahead; I will have Qin Qiong make the arrangements for you." He gestured toward Qin Qiong.

Who could be as devoted as a mother? A mother could also rest assured regarding Wang Yue. As for that old hen from the Liu family, Liu Bie, don't drag her into this.

The hope that had just risen in Gu Hanqing's heart shattered into pieces the very next second as he watched Jiang Jin return the ring.

He had assumed that the man was one of An Xia's suitors, pestering her day and night, so he had intended to step in and help send him packing.

In this world, there are no airtight walls; managing to keep this secret until after the college entrance exams was already quite an accomplishment.

Hearing a faint "click," Dora suddenly remembered that her master was injured. She hurried over to An Li's side, checked his pulse, and attempted to examine his physical condition herself.

"We are chivalrous thieves! We specialize in robbing the rich to help the poor." Shui Mingchen looked at him with a calm smile, appearing completely unruffled even after being caught red-handed.

A deafening boom erupted without warning, followed by a terrifying shockwave that swept outward. Amidst the destructive blast, Pekoms was thrown back heavily. The moment his feet touched the deck, the ship shook violently.

Before the wedding today, Jiang Jin had no idea that there was so much to prepare for.

"Teacher He, I've already booked a table at the Sunshine Hotel. I've prepared your favorite seafood hotpot and two bottles of premium Shaodaozi liquor. How about it? Won't you do me the honor?" Huang Zhiqiang slowly stood up from his seat, brushed the dust off his trousers, and spoke with a distracted air.

"Hahaha... Come again! Let's see how long you can hold out!" After scoring two hits in a row, the Nightmare Monster attacked for the third time.

Inside the Chaos Tower, with the aid of the four-colored light, Xuan Tian successfully retrieved the low-grade ninth-rank magic tool that had just been forged.

By the time they regained consciousness, they did not know how long they had been descending. Looking out the window, everything within sight was covered in a vast, white mantle, glistening like countless tiny, crushed diamonds.

"This must be a type of spirit talisman." Since it came from her parents, it was unlikely to be a fake.

"This subordinate will follow the Grand Sect Master's orders to the letter. Even if I end up wrapped in a horse hide, I will not hesitate!" Hu Gedie, moved by the praise, felt his blood boil with fervor.

At first, some people challenged the gang rules and committed offenses knowingly, but after a few crackdowns, no one dared to gamble recklessly at the docks anymore.

There was no point in sowing discord anymore, and as for the Stealth Technique, the third layer of invisibility can only be practiced upon reaching the innate Dragon Soaring level.

Following Sun Xiaoyao's departure, Li Fei continued to immerse himself in battle, though he shifted his focus toward the cultivation of spirit beasts.

From time to time, people cast strange looks at them, but they acted as if they didn't see anything as they walked from one vegetable stall to the next.

"No wonder you all love going on adventures; you always encounter good things along the way." Yan Beifei said excitedly, his eyes darting around, unable to take in enough of the sights.

Watching He Sijia vomit everything she had eaten for lunch, Fu Jinxing was both terrified and anxious.

Spring City was known as the granary of the empire. The sovereign of the Qin Empire had visited Spring City several times to inspect the thousands of miles of river embankments and the tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields.

Iron Spear: When using a spear as a weapon, Force +3. When dueling a general who also uses a spear, Force +5. When dueling a general who does not use a spear, Force +4.

On this day, Li Xiao awoke from his meditation and took out the Dragon Controlling Seal to observe it carefully.

Going back in time, just as Liu Bian was leading his troops near Kao County—that is, when Han Shizhong successfully captured Chenliu County—Gu Zhan and his party had finally overcome numerous difficulties and successfully pushed into Liang Commandery, arriving near Meng County.

Regardless, now was not the time to act; the Rainbow Bridge was interfering with space, and attempting a teleportation could lead to complications.

Nangong Yue, however, shook her head; she did not believe that to be the case. Hua Jun had cried so bitterly that she must have been in utter despair and felt as though her heart had turned to ash; there was no need to put on such a performance. And as for Lu Youcai, needless to say, he would never cooperate with Hua Jun in such a charade.

Seeing that Mu Jingyi had let out a sigh of relief, Fu Jinxing seized the moment to mock him with cold sarcasm.

She had laid out the formation map along the only path, covering a vast area. Simply entering this area would not trigger anything, but if she activated the incantation, everyone within the zone would be swept into the formation.

Thinking of the bloody battle they had just experienced, which had cost the lives of two teammates, Mu Lingxue felt a wave of frustration.

Although he did not have much experience in love, when the critical moment arrived, Chu Xiaoye found that he possessed an instinctive talent for it, showing great aptitude.

Zhu Houzhao ordered that this be kept hidden from both inside and outside the palace. His imperial father had yet to wake up, and it was unclear how severe the stroke was. Any symptom—difficulty walking, trembling hands, a crooked mouth, or slurred speech—was a possibility.

Qin Chengzhe was held down once more. Fu Jingyi picked up the remains, and this time, he waited until they were burnt to ashes before the jailer released him.

They didn't actually know these people, but they had come to enjoy the spectacle, so naturally, they cheered for whoever was the most impressive.

That day, he finished yet another single-player game. Not knowing what to play next, he went to browse a familiar gaming forum.

The scene before his eyes was like something out of cyberpunk—a perfect fusion of ancient aesthetics and modernity—which still gave one a peculiar sense of contrast.

In fact, he had sensed Song Xin the moment she pushed open the door to the room, but he simply didn't feel like getting out of bed yet.
