Volume One, Chapter 37: Call Xixi to Dinner
Page 1/3
In the end, only six people remained. The reason there were six was that Xu Chuan and He Long were still on the trial platform. He Long finished his cultivation, swept a glance over the remaining four, and beamed with joy.
Although Zhu Zhenpan held the noble title of Prince of Anhua, he was dull-witted, his reactions far slower than those of others. Moreover, he was a spineless wastrel who doted on wine and women.
The young man walking toward them looked to be about 1.8 meters tall. Being tall was one thing, but he was also exceptionally plump, yet his skin was tender and fair—it looked... rather strange.
The more Chu Xin thought about it, the more she felt her guess was plausible. Thinking of how Jun Nuo had held her to bring her back, she felt her face flush.
His teacher was Gu Ling, the Zither Saint of the Northern Underworld Sword Sect. For them, the zither was not merely a skill, but a form of martial art. Years ago in Yangzhou, Cui Fu had taken on ten opponents at once, single-handedly defeating the top ten courtesans with his zither mastery.
For someone like him, whose goal was clear and who only wanted to get into a good university, those who fell in love early were fools with water in their brains.
"You two, come with me first. Mayor, I’ll be taking this raft of yours." Seeing them approach, Gu Xining handed the paper with the marked symbol to Gray Kite, then gestured toward Su Ruyi’s two attendants and spoke.
A man who was so gentle and patient with his wife and child, and so handsome to boot—it didn't matter if he was a bit short.
"Who do you think eats meat every single day? Are you afraid others won't know we have money?" In private, Jiang Yulan complained to Song Zhangming.
"That won't do, if I—" The bandit’s words were cut off by Qi Luoluo just as he started.
Hearing her cold, clear voice, Lan Ran turned his head slightly. Deep eyes met her fair, puzzled gaze, and he chuckled softly.
Fierce. If hit by this palm from Dai Faye, even with true energy to protect her body, Ke Yuequan would suffer broken ribs, a ruptured heart, and scorched meridians.
As long as the status gained from infighting within any faction of the Chaos Demon Realm was acknowledged by the Heavenly Demon Imperial Court, the court would even encourage such behavior.

If one could endure such grueling and intensive filming, then there would be no work in the future that one couldn't handle.
Although it was his aunt, he had been too young to remember her when she went missing. Furthermore, the photograph was black and white, giving it a sense of ancient history, so every time he looked at it, he felt as if he were staring at a stranger.
This was an even greater insult. When had one ever seen a general of one's own imperial court captured alive by the enemy and then sold to others?
It wasn't until he was drenched in sweat and felt a slight sense of relief that he discovered the binding force had become much looser.
Zhai Nan only rented the Tianyuan Company premises temporarily. The company had been abandoned for so many years, and it survived entirely on rental income. If it weren't for the emotional attachment Sister Mu had to the company, she would have sold it off long ago.
If not for the environment he was currently in, Sasuke would certainly have found the fact that he was still alive to be incredible.
Once the bed was chosen, all that remained were some simple nightstands. Zheng Xiuyan didn't have any major requirements for these, as long as the colors matched. Inevitably, at least one was pink; Liu Shixin was too tired to resist, primarily because resistance was futile.
Fortunately, Li Changshou looked quite excited, but his tolerance for alcohol was 'just about' there. Before he could actually do anything to 'Young Master Feng,' he slumped onto the table and began to snore loudly.
At the entrance of the Ocean Shipping Building, Zhou Yazhi waited from noon until dark, but her beloved never arrived. Her heart gradually sank to the depths of despair.
A colossal, majestic creature stood in the void, possessing nine massive heads, thirty-six pairs of wings, and a tail. It stood there in the void, the laws of operation having long since retreated. Its pressure was so immense that it surpassed every supreme being of the universe present.
With the blind old monk putting it this way, if he were to refuse now, it would be equivalent to a confession.
Jin Jinyu, dressed in the attire of her sect, saw that Jin Xiyue was still wearing the simple clothes she had worn when leaving the palace. Her mind raced; she brushed aside the attendant leading the way, walked straight up to her, and slapped her across the face.
Feeling Chen Jiesheng's enthusiasm, Li Changshou appeared outwardly terrified and moved, yet through certain details, it was not hard to spot Chen Jiesheng’s hypocrisy.

However, with the high-sounding banner of a 'Pure Heart' leading the way, this journey was already in an entirely different dimension compared to the time Li Changshou had struggled to survive in these very mountains and forests.
Listening to these words from Zhou Shixian, Meng Shi felt goosebumps all over. Ignoring him, she walked straight toward the kitchen.
The intense shock made him feel dizzy just looking at the world. Red, blue, white—different colors spun rapidly before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
With that, he rose and tiptoed toward the exit. The dormitory lights were already off, and only the hallway was lit.
After so many days of hard work, Luo Qing had become a starship apprentice. He couldn't build a starship by hand, but he was more than capable of piloting one with a simple control system.
Bead-sized raindrops hung from the cat's whiskers before finally falling to the ground, splashing into small ripples.
He knew that this Ekaterina was quite capable; otherwise, the one from the Northern Bear wouldn't have valued her so highly.
None of them expected the Sect Leader of the Sunflower Sect to go to Huangshui City, nor did they expect to see the current person in charge of the Sunflower Sect so easily.
Only by passing through the sea of clouds and reaching the point of light could they return to their original world and leave this strange world in the clouds.
