Volume 1, Chapter 21: One Should Drink His Fill When Life Is at Its Best

Qing Lan sat in her chair, her left hand sliced open by the porcelain shard in her right, blood welling from the wound and dripping onto the floor.

Gradually, the pile of candied apples began to change, shifting from their original vibrant colors to a blood-red hue. It was not until the blue light vanished completely that this transformation ceased.

"Is this the battle between gods?" The same thought echoed in the heart of every ninja.

Fu Jingshen narrowed his sharp, ink-colored eyes, his gaze fixed on Da Wang not far away. Watching Da Wang rub against Gu Nian’s arms without restraint, his expression grew deep and cold.

"Very well. I shall certainly see the Emperor then. If you refuse to apologize, I will file a complaint with him." Long Yiqi said this without the slightest burden, as if she truly intended to report them and believed they would surely be punished once she did.

An Xuan’s eyes flickered toward the beef fried rice in Fu Jingshen’s takeout container, and she frowned.

"No, miss, this is not ordinary pollen. This is Moonflower pollen." Su Niang finally spoke.

The heavy snowfall swallowed their conversation, leaving a trail of footprints where they had walked.

She was serious. Whenever she spoke with such a stern face, even the shop manager dared not make a sound. But silence was fine, too.

Generally speaking, a dog’s digestive system is delicate, so food should ideally be kept at around 40 degrees Celsius; if it exceeds 50 degrees, the dog will usually refuse to eat.

I continued to carve words into it with trembling hands. Though I did not know if she could see them, I exerted all my strength to etch ten distinct characters before pausing to reflect for a moment. I then gathered my luggage and hailed a taxi back to the studio.

Shen Yu had always held his liquor well, yet that night he was nearly dead drunk, having shielded Yun Ci from countless toasts. In the end, his master, Qu Fang, could not bear to watch any longer; he prepared a sobering soup and ordered others to help him to the guest room.

Time slipped away in the blink of an eye. A month had passed since the invitation from the Delicious Pavilion, and without realizing it, the days had entered the hottest part of the year.

Their natural talent could compensate for this gap, but why not launch a sneak attack for a lethal blow? All five people present were in the top ten of the three rankings; it was almost impossible for them to fail if they coordinated a surprise attack on a True Monarch.

The audience had seen many bizarre behaviors from survival show contestants, but none like Feng Qingyan, who sat still for an entire night without moving a muscle.

Chen Langya smiled with a ghostly air, like a hellish assassin pronouncing a death sentence. He scrutinized the "Devil’s Hand," noting the gruesome scars with a hint of solemnity. This fellow was definitely no ordinary assassin; to have such long scars on one’s face and survive was, in itself, a realm of skill and prowess.

The two entered Zhiyan Pavilion one after the other. Chuxiu commanded the guards on duty, "Take the son-in-law to the Heir’s room." With that, she flicked her sleeves and walked away without looking back.

Wu Di’s smile was sinister. Chen Langya had caused him to lose face and reputation, even turning his grandfather—who had always been his greatest supporter—against him, and had snatched away his beloved sister. He had to kill him to vent this suffocating rage.

In fact, that was exactly the case. After Yu Xi and Tang Liang became engaged, more and more people began playing matchmaker for Qin Feng and Nian Shuyan. Had Yu Xi not intervened in time, Qin Feng might have already confirmed a relationship with Nian Shuyan, and then the situation would have been truly irreparable.

"I understand what Mother says... Thank you, Mother, for your understanding." Yun Xian knelt down solemnly and kowtowed to the Matriarch.

"Let’s see if you’re just pretending!" Instructor K moved, charging straight at Bandit Two and swinging his strange weapon down at his head.

Even for a simple meal at The Tycoon, the minimum cost per person was at least five hundred. Despite the high price, business at The Tycoon was booming every day. If you wanted a seat, you had to book at least a day in advance; walking in without a reservation often meant there was no table available.

Who can truly understand the pain of losing a loved one? Especially when it happens right before your eyes, and you are utterly helpless to stop it.

After steadying himself, the young man looked with shock and anger at the figure in the center of the massive tornado, surrounded by the storm.

The heavens changed color, and the clear sky was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning. Following this, countless bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, striking Li Yi.

Prince Yong’s face was so dark it seemed as if water might drip from it. The Hao Long Guards were completely blocked by the assassins and could not get inside, while the situation here had become precarious and could not last much longer.

"Likewise." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly. The giant wolf then lunged directly at Vedis Nan, while countless cannon barrels materialized in the surrounding space, all aimed at him. This was the air cannon technique used during the battle between the giant wolf and the Blade Scythe King.

In mid-air, Mu Xiaomeng bit her lip, gazing at the red glow for a moment longer before suddenly stepping back several times in a zigzag pattern. She traced a Bagua shape in the void, pointed her Cold Moon Sword at Long Aolang with her right hand, gripped her right wrist with her left, and began to chant.

At this moment, Liu Ying began to feel a sense of dread. He regretted killing Xu Tian, as Xu Tian’s death was the spark that ignited everything.

"No DNA, no eyewitnesses, nothing at all. What are we supposed to do?" Xia Zhiqin stared at the ceiling, her head resting on Pu Jingyan’s legs, which were quite springy.

In the original work, the Summoning Charm is usually used to summon objects. It is not entirely impossible to summon living creatures, but higher-level life forms cannot be summoned.

The Imperial Manor had agricultural officials appointed by the court, as well as tenant farmers responsible for cultivation. Because of Zhou Qian’s past contributions to the manor, the steward addressed him with respect.

Finally, after three days of travel, the group of over two hundred people encountered a thousand light cavalrymen.

Remembering that he still needed to ask about his condition, Zhou Qian nodded, then took the stairs two at a time, running up quickly.

He had never tried teleporting an object this large before. If he could succeed, it would be worth it as a final trump card.

Once he was completely disfigured, Voldemort’s actions became even more vicious and cruel: he would wipe out an entire family at a whim, and even the pleas of Snape—the vital informant who had overheard the prophecy—eventually went unheeded.

When everyone turned to look at Mu Feng and the other two on the shore, especially seeing the gun in Mu Feng’s hand pointed directly at them, their hearts began to pound with anxiety.
