Volume 1, Chapter 40: Would you be willing to help Sisi, Brother?

Sun Cheng shed his clothes and stepped onto the bed. He pulled the woman’s slender, willow-like waist into his embrace, his breathing growing increasingly ragged. Gazing at her rosy lips, he licked his own, his Adam’s apple bobbing, before leaning down to press his body against hers.

Lu Jinyu recognized him at a glance, of course. Though she had no idea what he was planning, she played along, pinching a piece of silver and dropping it into his bowl.

Liu Tianhao once again brought up the conversation they had had half a year ago on the grasslands outside Shangjun City. His words left Dong Zhuo utterly ecstatic. Liu Tianhao had promised back then that they would meet in Jizhou in six months, and now, that prediction had come to pass with pinpoint accuracy. Dong Zhuo could not help but seriously envision the grand ambition of dominating the imperial court that Liu Tianhao had described.

Seeing that the screen had gone black, Pei Nuoyi called again, but this time, the phone was powered off.

Li Xinghan couldn't help but reflect on how much Tang Bingyu must have suffered over the years to conduct her investigation, to the point that she didn't even mind taking on the grueling work of a caregiver.

Thinking of what Fu Yimo had said yesterday, Lin Xingxin shook her head with a helpless smile and went downstairs after washing up.

However, this powerful defensive magical artifact had a fatal weakness: because the Ice Armor was stored within the triangular object using spatial technology, it had to be charged before each use to activate it.

"There’s nothing we can do about it. Old Master Fu and your father are both sentimental and can't bear to kick your uncle out of the company. We’ll just have to face whatever comes our way," Lu Siheng said, shrugging his shoulders.

At Gu Ruomei’s instruction, Gu Xinan and Young Master Yan fled at top speed. They ran for two kilometers in one breath, and just as they were about to leave the city, Young Master Yan suddenly grabbed Gu Xinan.

This struggle of a trapped beast lasted for nearly two months. She had fought against every kind of exotic creature, and though she failed almost every time, a powerful belief sustained her, and she never gave up.

Young Master Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists. His father was right. His strength was not on the same level as theirs; if a conflict were to arise, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight back, so how could he protect Lu Xia?

Hearing Lianchengyiyao’s words, Liunian nodded eagerly. Yes, yes, that was exactly what she meant. Si Lühen actually said he wouldn't interfere—but why shouldn't he?

Ye Chen flashed into the sky, and looking down at the onlookers, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of emotion.

But Yangyang dared not object, for this Auntie Xu was truly formidable, with a sharp tongue that forced even Yangyang to restrain himself in her presence.

Brother Feng had found this job for them, and since it was so easy, they didn't want to get fired because of some mistake on their part.

"Most of them are minors. Sometimes, when so many young people gather together, only games can unite them," Fang Bai said, spreading his hands.

We both knew that if it came to a real fight, the two of us couldn't beat Duanmu Xue, but it was still possible to pin her down and force-feed her the medicine. So, Hao went straight to grab Duanmu Xue’s waist, and I, in perfect sync, bent down to grab her feet. Once she was restrained, everything else would be easy.

The man who approached was about twenty-five years old, dressed in a plain navy blue robe. He looked unremarkable, and his cultivation was only at the Orange Stage, posing no threat.

The meteorite stone monster no longer existed. Perhaps, from the moment we stepped out, this space had vanished forever.

When Bai Lingling heard Ye Chen declare her as his partner in front of so many people, she was overjoyed. To be honest, Ye Chen had never spoken so earnestly before. Though she didn't mind and was willing to sacrifice herself for him in silence, this meant the world to her.
