Volume 1, Chapter 59: Qiao Xianglan's Transformation

He was getting old and would be retiring in just a few years.
Never had he expected that he would almost ruin his spotless reputation at the very end.
"Your family brought shame upon yourselves and you didn't even know to cover it up, yet you still made such a huge scene!" he trembled all over with rage. "In all my years as an official, this is the first time someone has pointed right at my nose and cursed me for being a poor judge of character."
Eldest Song stood frozen in place, utterly failing to anticipate that things would develop to this stage.
Hadn't the matter of Twilight glow been settled already? He had even sent gifts to the county magistrate, so how on earth did it turn out like this?
A flurry of thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, the other party gave him no chance to speak and dismissed him immediately after finishing.
The cold wind outside the official office blew against his face. Eldest Song was not stupid, and he...
Yet he could not refuse Bai Ping's reasonable request, nor did he subconsciously wish to refuse it. After pondering for a moment, he agreed.
"Weiwei!" Liu Yuhe interrupted her sister. Although she was similarly disgusted by their cousin's behavior, since the adults had tacitly allowed it, they had no grounds to target and discuss him.
Trelawney wore a look of utter panic. Without even offering a defense, she bolted directly toward the entrance of the Great Hall.
"Hehe, Mom, I've been craving your braised fish. As for the rest, let's just toss them into the pond to keep for a day and continue selling them tomorrow!" Mentioning the braised fish made Li Shengxiao's mouth water uncontrollably.
A profound technique praised even by the Divine Mirror was bound to be anything but simple, possessing numerous wondrous applications. With a brief thought, Zhou Chen immediately recalled the Seventy-two Transformations of Sun Wukong and the profound techniques of Yang Jian from the myths of his past life; the two shared an uncanny resemblance and formidable combat prowess. To be continued.
A scroll is an object infused with special spatial properties created by spatial mages. This space cannot store physical items, but it allows magical power to persist indefinitely within it. Many powerful mages frequently use them to record the spells they have invented, preventing such formidable magic from being lost over the long passage of time.
Aragog could not figure out the child's intentions. Most importantly, he felt this child was far too bizarre, so he dared not act rashly.
"Then I suppose we can consider ourselves lucky not to have been randomly teleported into a beast's lair. Other squads might not share our luck," I said.
Giving Lin Yu no breathing room, he flashed forward and brought his blade down in a vicious arc toward Lin Yu's head.
Following the direction of the voice, Zhou Chen saw a young man clad in armor. His long hair was tucked neatly beneath his helmet, and his sharp, piercing eyes exuded the unmistakable fortitude of a soldier.
Before his voice could fade, the dark-skinned youth flushed a deep crimson, his eyes burning red as if having suffered the greatest humiliation. He lunged forward abruptly and threw another punch straight at Qi Baijun's back. The latter's expression turned icy; without making any visible movement, his body suddenly shifted sideways by a meter.
"The Aquatics actually lost to the human corpses?" Qiong Xingbang and Du Kuan exclaimed in simultaneous astonishment.
"Very well, then next time it is. I just wonder when the next time will be," Bi Chunhua said.
Listening to the dense, hurried footsteps and low growls endlessly echoing from the corridor behind the door, the Soul of Xiaoyue calculated rapidly.
Fortunately, the other party was a longtime friend of hers, and the two were as close as sisters. Having shared every conceivable intimate secret, there was no need to stand on ceremony.
Leisheyu glanced at the somewhat flustered Leona and couldn't help smiling, though the smile vanished from his face a moment later.
Dainon's attacks grew increasingly sluggish until Emei struck him squarely in the chest with a palm strike, sending him flying backward as blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Having nothing to do, Leisheyu began wandering aimlessly through Morgana's castle.
Noticing the fiery tattoo still clearly imprinted on the palm of his left hand, Li Xiaoyue fired off a rapid series of telepathic questions.
Qiu Guyu stepped forward, intending to execute a natural counter-attack, but at that exact moment, countless fine glimmers of light erupted before his eyes.
All these years of longing and reluctance turned into tears tonight, pouring out of me in an unbridled torrent.
To Huang Yunlin's surprise, although the other party understood completely, they flatly refused to offer any help the moment they spoke.
Distributed around the tomb are a large number of burial pits and auxiliary tombs of varying designs and historical significance, with over 400 having been discovered so far, including the world-famous Terracotta Army pits known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
Watching the village chief drone on endlessly in his ear without any time limit, Feng Lin genuinely wished he could swat him with a flyswatter.
As soon as they stepped inside, Ye Zhichen helped Lan Xianshu change her shoes while Lan Ruohao stood with his arms crossed over his chest, fixing him with a piercing gaze.
To unexpectedly encounter Li Xuejun and Guo Yi here—could it mean that Yang Yan's affair was finally reaching a resolution?
Far from seeing embarrassment on her face, I saw a smile. Moreover, she actually laughed out loud. Was this a provocation?
Watching his sister's beautiful face always adorned with that caring smile, tears slipped from the corners of Feng Lin's eyes.
"I don't want this brother of mine anymore either. I'll fight you to the death!" A family feud was unfolding between relatives, triggered by He Yuting's love consultant.
After a pot of tea went down, the burning sensation in his stomach subsided significantly. He let out a crisp burp, his breath carrying the fragrance of tea, though he was essentially just stuffed with water.
At this moment, their radiance had already eclipsed the metal team formed by the Five Elements elites, making them the most astonishingly powerful among the five squads.
To be able to comprehend the Laws of Time and rely upon the Laws of Time and Space to carve out a private dimension—this person was simply too terrifying.
Following Zhang Liang's strategy, Liu Bang marched rapidly through the night, surrounding Wan City airtightly by the next morning. He then had civilians masquerade as soldiers, holding banners that filled the surrounding hillsides. When Chao Nie climbed the city walls and looked out, he saw the Chu banners blanketing the mountains and plains, a vast sea of troops numbering in the hundreds of thousands. His legs immediately turned to jelly.
Hearing the man before her address her directly by name for the very first time, Ningxiang felt a violent throb deep within her heart.
Its gargantuan body surpassed even the Three-Headed Golden-Scaled Python Lu Ming had previously witnessed. Merely coiled there silently like an insurmountable mountain, one could easily imagine the overwhelming shock this Ice Dragon inflicted upon their hearts.
