Xia Fangyuan’s strength naturally could not compare to Gong Shaoxie’s, leaving her no choice but to reveal her true form before him.
Yang Xin sneered with disdain, while others like Luo Shaojie and Shui Lan’er seemed eager to look away. Yet, there were truly some fearless souls willing to fight Yang Xin—did they not value their own lives?
Unable to do anything about Yang Xin, he was equally confident that Yang Xin couldn’t harm him either. His intention was simply to disgust Yang Xin a little, venting his own anger and frustration.
Zhunti raised his eyes: “Among the Buddhist monks, except for Ransheng, Maitreya, and the Medicine Master, the others may withdraw.” The Buddhist assembly dispersed. Yaoji kept her gaze fixed where the Golden Cicada Master had disappeared, then turned away, wiping her eyes. Yaochi gently patted Yaoji’s back.
“Do you have any news from the gods? Your ring?” Delaka was beginning to be certain something had indeed happened to the deities.
However, France’s reputation was not without merit. As a capitalist power with centuries of experience, it could not be compared to the rising China. The centuries of education had generally endowed the French people with a higher cultural quality than the Chinese. Therefore, although China’s air force led the world, it did not mean France lagged far behind.
Yu Shimei was an ardent supporter of reform and modernization, but like Weng Tonghe, he remained a staunch loyalist to the Qing dynasty. Formerly a Ministry of War official, he had long served as an aide to Li Hongzhang, assisting in maintaining the Qing dynasty’s crumbling edifice.
On a typical life-bearing planet, once struck by a planetary destroyer’s attack, under the immense gravitational pull of the planet itself, a celestial body similar to a neutron star would form.
Feng Wu looked at his upright figure, secretly relieved. To meet his gaze required great courage—not only because of the martial aura pressing down on her but also the lethal presence that could slay without a trace. This aura, different from Ye Xiang’s domineering might that compelled submission, had the same effect.
At these words, the reporters erupted into a clamor. Haixin Group had never had a precedent of canceling a contract. Could Han Jun be backing out?
Leaving the internet café, Jiang Hailiu wandered around the nearby commercial street, buying himself a few pieces of clothing.

Yan Shixian had managed the Natural Residence for years and always believed that a restaurant must have a neat and clean storefront, tables, chairs, and kitchen to make diners comfortable and reassured.
Yan Yan felt her eldest uncle smile and turned her head, responding with an especially sweet smile.
As for Qu Zhuo, he seemed very excited at this moment. Although still wearing a cool and handsome expression, his slightly narrowed eyes betrayed his good mood.
Perhaps she wasn’t afraid of pain, but at this moment, she was completely restrained by the man, with no chance to resist.
“I was wild with them for a while today and couldn’t stop in time,” Su Yue recalled Ling Min, who lost her proud demeanor in the end, giggling as she nestled in Ling Hanrui’s arms.
Perhaps the doctors who hadn’t come were not only afraid of catching the plague but also because of this Zheng Gaoyi’s “contribution.”
Only when she saw the two chubby little ones tired of playing with toys and demanding to sleep did they leave the room together.
After inquiring about Liu Guoying’s affairs, she naturally had to ask about the research institute. Although Wei Lengmian and the others had conducted interrogations, who could say whether Situ’s words were truthful?
“I have no face left to see the lord,” another light flickered in the pitch-black space—a middle-aged man in thin, threadbare clothes sitting on a stone block, head bowed, eyes vacant, his once strong body now withered.
Seeing Bai Sha’s expression utterly unchanging, Ling Yanzi clenched his fists tightly, the Flame Whip in his hand glowing even redder, fiery light radiating in all directions as flames surged from its braided strands.
“That’s impossible. Even if they return, they cannot deter Tianya’s resolve. She is now completely blinded, seeing everyone and everything as nothing but air except Hu Qingtian; it can be said with certainty that Tianya is now more dangerous than Hu Qingtian,” Chu Chu asserted.

The flames within the Samadhi True Fire condensed into various fiery beasts, devouring the fleeing cultivators from all directions like blood-mouthed, sky-swallowing demons, burning and consuming everything in their path.
But Luo Tianyang showed no sign of urgency, calmly contending with the Golden Armored Corpse, sometimes even appearing leisurely, which only fueled Lin Fusheng’s anger yet left him helpless.
A month before Li Liangliang’s death, a matchmaker had arranged a marriage proposal for her. The prospective family, all three teachers at the town’s middle school, were not wealthy but economically stable and well-off at the time, enough to change Li Liangliang’s family’s fate.
The audience gasped, and Wang Peng smiled as he handed money to a nearby spectator. Upon checking, it was indeed genuine currency. He took it back and again plunged his hand into the basin, pulling out two more hundred-yuan bills.
Lin Qinghou led everyone to Immortal Valley and saw that the clearing work of Sun Lake had been completed. The surrounding shores had been reinforced with piles, and cleaning operations were underway.
But when he looked again at Xie Xiang’s expression, all the secrecy barriers crumbled effortlessly.
After blocking a fierce and sudden ‘returning cavalry’ strike, Meng Lianying clenched his slightly numb hands tightly and battled Li Lisheng side by side.
Dong Zhuo smiled slightly; he had long enjoyed the privilege of entering court without bowing, sword and shoes ready to ascend the hall, though he had never drawn his sword in this great hall before.
