Volume 1, Chapter 23: That Familiar Feeling Has Returned

Ke Fei tried hard to recall, only to realize there really wasn't any. However, the young master had indeed been going out quite a lot over the past year: "Unless invited by friends," he rarely stepped out on ordinary days.

"I guessed you'd come, so I saved a seat for you," Yun Yuyuan said, patting Yun Jue on the shoulder.

After a few moments, Xiao Rang gradually stopped feeling afraid. Damn it, whatever you are, as long as you don't come after me, we're fine. If you dare to provoke me, I'll hack you to pieces. Steadying his nerves, Xiao Rang pried open the mouths of Tong'er and Li Cailian, inserted two pills, and channeled his immortal energy to catalyze them.

It was said that the poison afflicting the Princess of Xian was the same as that which had poisoned the Prince of Xian years ago. Because of her poisoning, the so-called truth behind the Prince's own poisoning back then was dredged up once again.

Huan Chuan’s eyes sharpened; he turned suddenly, and another arm, clutching a dagger, slashed toward him.

How many times had she called him that? Playfully, calmly, petulantly, sorrowfully—yet none had been as tender and alluring as this.

Watching Ye Lingfeng’s pale face, Qiu Shaoze didn't know what to say. This guy was uncanny; he would ask about everything.

Lu Yushang gave a self-deprecating smile. Who didn't know how the Prime Minister cherished his wife’s devotion? Even though they had no heirs, he still remained faithful to Lady Xu. How could one not feel a twinge of jealousy?

To welcome the mercenaries from the Far East Company, Molokai Island had made full preparations. The island’s resort could accommodate 500 people, and they had arranged entertainment, including bonfires and open-air dances, allowing the mercenaries to enjoy their final moments of leisure before arriving in Ryukyu.

It was stiflingly hot and humid, and with only two old-fashioned ceiling fans rotating at a snail's pace, there was no way to dispel the oppressive heat. As a result, several Soviet representatives nearly fainted from heatstroke.

"You left without a word back then, and I didn't blame you. Why can't we even have a meal together now?" Shi Li’s face darkened, and his voice rose.

It was still early, and there weren't many people at the Marquis's estate. An Shichong led them to the main courtyard without any trouble.

In truth, Ye Chenmeng had refused from the beginning, but he had only said four words: "An elder brother is like a father."

As Li Lu thought this, she suddenly realized that all her old wounds had healed. Her face filled with shock, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu He, thinking, "As expected of the Emperor. Such methods—they are simply beyond my comprehension."

For a fleeting moment, Yun Qixi felt her heart wrench sharply, and she could no longer smile.

"You must explain to Grandma clearly that I am not pregnant!" Ye Chenmeng blinked, instructing him with a grave expression.

Now, that was settled. After overthrowing the Qing government, Gloria could head straight to the Qing Empire for charity work. Li Mu had even thought of the projects for her.

When he reached the center, Mo Ming clapped his hands. The sound echoed through the large cubicle area. Everyone heard it clearly, stopped what they were doing, and turned their attention to Mo Ming.

Ming Fan stood up politely and bowed. "Thank you. It was my first time, and it wasn't very good. Please just consider it a casual listen." "No, you performed very well. You sang with great feeling. Don't you all agree?" the music teacher said, wiping away tears. Everyone nodded.

"Let's use this!" Su Jun picked up a random tree branch from the ground and, mimicking Li Litian, pointed it at his opponent like a sword.

He led the way toward the woods on the right. Huzi looked quite reluctant, but seeing that Lan Yu had already entered the forest, he had no choice but to follow.

"Don't worry, I'm not the type to spill secrets. You can tell me anything." I glanced at Qing Xuan’s situation. There were still many people ahead of her, enough time for me to listen to a story.

Just then, Hao Er appeared on one of the screens. He was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a coffee cup, as if he had been waiting for Ivan all along. Seeing our image, he waved his right hand back and forth like a bell clapper and said, "Hi!"

Stepping out of the hostel and crossing a long corridor, I saw the sign for the network technology company. Strangely, an iron gate separated the company from the outside world; it was locked tight with a massive padlock.

Seeing Nangong Quan again, I was filled with emotion, as if I had much to say, yet suddenly didn't know where to begin.

Ye Zhen had overexerted himself before fully recovering. The Holy Venerable quickly carried him on his back to a nearby spot to sit down. Leaning back, Ye Zhen finally felt a bit more comfortable.

The moment Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian were forcibly pulled apart, the performance came to an end. Once it concluded, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Blaney and Monica were in similar situations—their articulation was unclear. While their singing technique was fine, this was a weakness that was hard to overcome.

As he learned more about the Shenzhou Continent, Qi Bao could vaguely sense that it seemed to hide many secrets.

Liu Dong roared, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him remained expressionless. They conjured a giant hand made of spiritual energy, intending to seize them.

From then on, the seasons would turn, the years would pass in quiet peace, and decades would slip by without a ripple. When I am old, I will pull a dust-covered chest from under the bed, take out that cherished Mad Dog tactical knife, and tell my children and grandchildren—who sit at my knees, resting their chins on their hands with innocent anticipation—about the glorious days of their grandfather’s youth.

Each punch and kick, while not perfectly executed, was uniform and orderly, making for a truly pleasing sight.

Qiao Luoyu rode his horse, his severed arm throbbing with unbearable pain, blood flowing incessantly. He knew his wound hadn't healed properly, and if he rode to Huguang like this, he might bleed to death.

"I never imagined Li Qingxuan's strength had reached such a terrifying level. If I were to fight her, I doubt I could last even a round or two!" Chen Yi smiled bitterly to himself. And those one or two rounds would be assuming she wasn't even using her sword. At this thought, the pressure on Chen Yi grew even heavier.

This was why the Chaos Tree hadn't detected the problem. Had it not been suppressed, it could have directly detected what was happening here.

"What's going on?" He was startled, opened his eyes, and steadied his mind. Perhaps it was just physical exhaustion after the duel with the old cowboy, leaving him temporarily weak.

Picking up the crowbar at his side, Li Yan returned to the corner where he had first appeared and took out the Random Teleportation scroll.

Gathered here were experts from all over the world, each with countless followers. At this moment, Mo Chen was being cursed and ridiculed mercilessly.

But given that this was a police station, Song Yunhua and Old Lady Song could do nothing to her. Instead, the police warned them not to cause a scene, which left Song Yunhua screaming in fury.
