Volume One, Chapter 43: A Misunderstanding with Senior Brother!

As soon as the door opened, Shadow sensed that something was amiss. The oppressive aura shifted instantly, and Mu Xiao, who had been sitting on the ground, turned pale before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Checking the time, less than five minutes had passed. Feeling the bitter winter chill of this secondary world, Fang Bai retreated back to his own domain. He was actually quite curious about those cattle with their reddish hindquarters, but his tight financial situation reminded him that he needed to reserve energy points to maintain the spatial gate.

Marriage... seemed to have become the only possible path. Right now, she and Han were on good terms. Both families had originally hoped they would get married, and now with a second child on the way, marriage felt like a matter of course.

"If it's not what I want, then I would rather have nothing at all!" Jun Rongfan smiled faintly, her phoenix-like eyes lifting slightly with an indescribable carefree charm and allure that left Ge Jiaojiao utterly dazzled.

"No need. If our Ji family has any issues, we will naturally resolve them ourselves," said Chen Meishu.

Yangyang understood Quan Shaochen's intention, and before long, he scurried into his own room.

I tilted my head to look at her, resenting her self-righteousness. She knew precisely what position she held in my heart, which was why she acted with such unbridled confidence. The next second, she lunged forward and kissed me. In an instant, I abandoned all my defenses, wishing I could knead her into my very body and make her an inseparable part of me.

He was indeed somewhat surprised by today's sudden turn of events, but what he understood even less was why the dignified head of the Pill Department would target them like this. Whether it was because of his sister or out of consideration for themselves, it simply made no sense.

He truly was a cunning old fox. I struck Li Yi heavily with my fist, sighing with mixed emotions at the mention of his wife.

Channeling his vital blood energy into the palm of his hand, the storage ring stored within emitted a suction force, drawing out a wispy thread of blood energy.

The beast tide had still not ceased. The barbed wire fences outside were densely packed with immobilized mutated beasts, but the defense was never breached. The initial charge wave on the southern side of the base only reached about a hundred meters outside the walls. Aside from a grenade thrown in panic, not a single explosive had even been put to use.

Ye Qingcheng was quite satisfied with Ye Jiaojiao's cooperation, pressing her lips together with an aggrieved look, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.

He could barely handle Ye Yunrui, so with Fu Bei-jue added to the mix, he stood no chance at all.

Recalling the excavated pre-war ruins and artifacts, he naturally thought of the music box he had once promised to bring back for his younger sister.

Watching Jiang Wanqing, who kept placing food in his bowl and picking out fish bones for him, he didn't know what to say for a spell. The lingering resentment from earlier had transformed into a trace of shame, and he even felt a surge of emotions identical to those of Tan Yingyuan.

Ye Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, produced a set of silver needles, and inserted them into several major acupuncture points on Shen Nie's body, causing her brows to knit together tightly.

"However, I like you so, so much." Before Jiang Wanqing could formulate a response, her waist was embraced by a soft, cuddly figure.

Driving out onto the road, Ji Tian felt somewhat heavy-hearted. She could roughly imagine how destitute Li Guo's family situation must be, but when she saw it with her own eyes, her breath still hitched.

That low, gentle voice carried a mesmerizing, bewitching magic. Every single word and phrase bore a tyrannical weight that struck like a pebble against the tranquil surface of her heart, stirring up rippling waves.

"In such freezing weather, this is practically going to be the death of me!" Uncle Wei grumbled as he began stripping off his heavy coat.

"I'll call her right now." The moment Lin Jie agreed, Fang Minghua jumped up, grabbed his phone, and started dialing.

Generally speaking, when a martial artist breaks through the third tier to enter the fourth, it marks the first major watershed moment in their cultivation journey. It can be said to vastly enhance a martial artist's physical capabilities and various other aspects.

It was common knowledge that Cheng Yaojin was a boorish fellow, but he was far from foolish; rather, he possessed a wisdom that appeared dull on the surface. Otherwise, he would not have so easily left Yinchuan to come and provide reinforcements for these physicians. Regardless of the circumstances, maintaining a good relationship with doctors always brought only benefits.

Because Chi Hua had called her his fiancée in front of everyone, Xiaoyu lowered her head with a flushed face. You Yong had two large chunks of flesh sliced off his body; although he wasn't bleeding, his internal injuries were not light, and he sat in a chair looking pale and listless.

Gareth raised his shield to parry, the broadsword crashing against the surface with a loud clang as both men stepped back a few paces.

"Senior Brother is right," Qin Lei nodded and said. Although his words were agreeable, his expressionless face made one inevitably doubt the sincerity of his words.

Ma Liu hurriedly acknowledged the order and slammed his foot down on the accelerator, while the vehicles trailing both ahead and behind erupted with the roaring engines of cars.

In truth, Yang Yuyao's reluctance to go on a blind date today stemmed from a subconscious comparison to Li Lin. Although he was very wealthy, he also seemed exceptionally easy to get along with. Having such an outstanding individual as a benchmark, naturally she had no interest in blind dates.

Take this world, for instance. Li Li could anchor it beneath the Heavenly Court, giving the world a dual attribute—one as a sectarian mystic realm belonging to Li Li, and the other as a world governed by the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, the cultivation of the demon race did not merely rely on absorbing demonic Qi to enhance themselves; emotions of pain and despair constituted the true source of a demon's power.

It wasn't that there were no talented individuals—quasi-elite and elite ranks had both passed through their hands—it was just that Hope City's own descendants failed to live up to expectations, failing to produce even a single promising sapling, let alone anyone of dragon-potential.

His lowered gaze rested on the glowing piece of beef upon the plate. This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a miraculous dish, and clearly, aside from shock, it brought him an even greater sense of pleasant surprise.

Having packed up most things, Lin Ning notified all the Star-Blue metamorphosed humans, telling them to seek out Le Ming if they needed anything, as he could reach her.
