Finally Meeting the Immortal

I nodded and said I understood. Having been in the seafood business for so long, I had seen hardships far worse than this; those hothouse flowers knew nothing of the misery in impoverished rural areas. Just a few years ago, I witnessed a rural family who, utterly unable to make ends meet, drank pesticide and committed mass suicide together.

She wasn't afraid at all. Which of her classmates didn't know she had an older brother who was more than a dozen years her senior? They were green with envy.

Xiaoxiao, feeling rather shy, covered her burning cheeks with both hands. After a long while, she finally calmed her racing heart and slipped into the flowing purple jade fairy dress.

After playing around for a while, Xun Yi lay back down on the grass, closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and continued to sunbathe.

Three days later, at sunset, at the north gate of the Village Hidden in the Sand, the genin on guard duty spotted two suspicious individuals.

Zhang Ziming carried a dozing Jiabao under one arm while holding the hand of a weeping, eyes-swollen Jiashu as he reached the downstairs.

Aside from the two scarlet fruits, he tossed all the medicinal pills previously gifted by various sects into the Shennong Cauldron in one go.

To commit murder and exact revenge in such a public place, right in front of so many people, with conclusive human and physical evidence—even if King Qi Xing of Chu wanted to help clear him of the charges, it would be utterly impossible.

Not daring to move, I quickly grabbed the candle from the living corpse's hand alongside the one I was already holding, and threw that candle far away. After a moment, the candle slowly rolled back, while the living corpse grinned from ear to ear with a gaping mouth.

Within every giant tribe, there existed a chieftain. Unless the chieftain was eliminated, the giants would continuously respawn.

Another grenade-like object of a different color was thrown into the second-floor hallway. Following the sound of the object landing upstairs, thick smoke billowed out in all directions. However, the operatives downstairs had already put on their gas masks and stood fully armed, awaiting the next command.

Xu Lang understood that Zhang Guodong had agreed with his opinion that day; cooperating with Trịnh Tráng of Northern Vietnam could effectively resolve any future fallout with the Ming Dynasty. Yet Xu Lang also knew that this measure could not be resorted to unless absolutely necessary.

Both the front and back mountains had their own factions, and Mount Hanluo itself was far from simple. In its early days, Mount Hanluo was the stronghold of cave trolls and troglodytic dark elves. The entire interior of the mountain had been tunneled and honeycombed with passages and dwelling places by these creatures, and these passages were now known as the inner mountain tunnels.

Inside the house, Liancheng Yazhi and the others assumed that simply taking the person away was the end of it—they truly had no intention of pursuing the matter further, provided those people didn't come bouncing around in front of them.

As for the vacation destination, the fallen leaves at this time of year were breathtaking, and Aya, feeling inspired to do some sketching, agreed to the plan.

Just at that critical moment, the monk flicked his finger, and a ball of light shot into Yin Wenjiao's body. Having accomplished this, the monk licked his lips, withdrew from the room, and turned to fly toward the west.

Unlike others, she had never actually slept with Tony Stark because Lin涛 [Lin Tao], having an urgent need for Green Goblin flame bombs once, forcibly paid Tony Stark a visit, interrupting the passionate temporary lovers.

Ziyun did not doubt Liu Yunbi's words, but when Ziyun turned her gaze forward, Liu Yunbi did not retract the energy she had already channeled.

Everyone felt a creeping chill, and the atmosphere in the grand hall instantly grew tense to the breaking point. A faint aura of murderous intent flowed through the void, pricking at the soul of every person present.

When the lights were turned out, Chu Wuyou relied entirely on groping her way around, whereas Chu Shixiu relied on intuition, and his accuracy was unerring.

"Sorry, our conversation must have been terribly boring," Fang Jinshi chimed in to smooth things over.

After thinking about it, though, she figured it must be something like a common cold, and she instantly felt a pang of regret. Had she known it was just that, she wouldn't have bothered purchasing a physician.

If worse came to worst, scallion oil cooking or stewing would have been fine; using it for barbecue like this was a terrible waste of heavenly treasures.

The moment Xiao Tian saw her mother speak up, she immediately covered her mouth and chuckled with a beaming smile.

Just as things were growing awkward, Ding Jingmin called, saying he had heard the poison container was a cosmetic bottle, and he had once bought that brand of cosmetics as a gift for Liu Yiyi.

He Peiyuan had naturally seen right through her boyfriend's little trick, so once she returned to her own room and shut the door, she was no longer going to be so easy to deal with.

With that, Tan Luoxi flung her phone away, and looking at the shattered screen, a wave of a headache washed over me.

Instantly, both his own field of view and the live broadcast screen plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Initially, the entire Xiaolingwei garrison comprised a full guard unit of five thousand six hundred officers and men, divided into five chiliarchies, with each chiliarchy consisting of one thousand one hundred and twenty men. These soldiers were elite troops carefully selected through rigorous, long-term training.

Yet at that very moment, with a sudden, thunderous crash, a figure soared into the sky, and Ye Zixuan's silhouette reappeared before their eyes.

The afterglow of sunset, like a gentle giant hand, slowly swept across the ruined earth, and the fractured, shattered ground began to reshape itself.

In this way, even if certain compradore bureaucrats in the future insisted on adopting imported foreign technology, it would still fail to take root because the vast majority of domestic users would be unaccustomed to it.

1. Sister-in-law is a beauty, but her personality is a bit domineering; she has the final say at home, and big brother obeys her every word.

The arrival of the group alerted the bishop of the church. Bishop Vaux, nearing fifty and clad in white vestments, came out to greet them personally.

"Don't move! This sleeve arrow might be coated in deadly poison!" Ye Zixuan had just raised his head to see this scene, and his expression turned grave.

As the two were talking, the spaceship suddenly shuddered violently. First, all the lights dimmed, and then a blaring alarm sounded.

"The door is open..." Boss Ke said with a smile. Before his voice trailed off, someone suddenly yanked him, and he tumbled backward.

An intensely scorching wave of heat abruptly materialized, rolling in billows, surging with violent momentum, and churning outward.

To avoid being seen and stirring up unnecessary trouble, Yingyun only wanted to ask for directions so they could part ways as quickly as possible.

That saying actually seemed to hold some truth; although several customers arrived successively afterward, most of them weren't there to sign up.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Jian, who had been fast asleep, was suddenly startled awake. As his gaze locked intently forward, a scout knelt in prostration outside Wang Jian's tent.
