Volume 1, Chapter 55: The Breakfast Storm

Xu Zixuan's face could only be described as utterly desolate and grim. Faced with Su Qingya's interrogation, he did not say a single word, merely staring at me with bloodshot eyes and a fixed, deadly gaze.
Su Qingya ungracefully tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a gesture I recognized as a sign of her growing irritation.
Xuantianyi's final words were directed at the old woman. He knew that while her previous statements might not have carried that specific implication, he was exploiting a loophole right out of those earlier words.
Thinking about this made tears well up in Lin Dong's eyes. To be a cultivation sect yet lack even a core combat force was nothing short of a tragedy! Still, things were looking up now; he would finally be able to erase such a humiliating reality.
Xu Yi turned his head to see a dissolute young aristocrat walking over, followed by a few sycophants holding leashes attached to several ferocious hounds. The dogs bared their sharp white fangs, looking exceptionally menacing.
It is time once again for everyone's favorite author ramblings—today, I mainly want to introduce myself to all of you.
The beauty smiled lightly, her delicate steps bringing her gracefully to sit beside Wu Zhi. A wave of enchanting fragrance drifted over, causing Wu Zhi to frown slightly, uncertain of what she intended to do.
His heart began to drift into confusion. His blade had once been a terrifying weapon that struck fear into the hearts of men, and his name alone had once terrified the bravest of souls—every single one of those victims had been high-ranking generals of the Liao Dynasty.
"Well struck!" Chu Chen shouted in a booming voice, his figure remaining entirely motionless. The Bagua illusion beneath his feet flashed with brilliant light, instantly surging into his fists.
After waiting only a short while, one of them returned. It was Wei Yuwei, proving that Qingfeng truly lived up to his legendary speed. Seeing Wei Yuwei back, I didn't say much, simply telling him to make himself comfortable and that we would discuss things once everyone had arrived. In truth, I no longer cared about the Chang family; if they amounted to anything, they would naturally show up at the feast, and if they were nobodies, why bother wasting time on them?
As if feeling that the shocks Eleanor had already received were not enough, Marian dropped another bomb, one after another.
Taishi Yunshan and the other seven struck simultaneously, causing the heavens and earth to shudder violently. However, the exact moment before their attacks were unleashed, they all saw with astonishment a cold, chilling smirk curl across the corner of Chu Chen's mouth.
At that moment, Chen Jiran was leaning against the headboard of the bed, reading emails on his tablet, when Xiao Fang walked through the door carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers and nutritional supplements.
What Frigga decided to grant to Rey as compensation was a selection of outdated technologies mastered by Asgard, alongside some obsolete weaponry and equipment. Yet, to humanity on Earth, these very technologies and armaments represented exceptionally advanced, cutting-edge innovations and modern apparatuses.
This was merely an exploratory move by both sides. Felzago, the draconic beast, opened its wide jaws and spewed a thick torrent of fire. With a loud crash, the blast slammed directly into the golden-purple energy shield shimmering before Rey, igniting another blinding flash of light.
The two of them conversed as they walked to opposite ends of the Chinese chess board and took their positions. He Yong held the black pieces, while Master Xue took the red.
I was so dizzy with delight that I almost wanted to cheer and scream out loud. Based on my initial estimations, I would have considered myself lucky to score around seventy points, so the actual outcome far exceeded my expectations in the most wonderful way.
However, apart from a few trial towers that tested one's comprehension of cosmic laws, the majority of the remaining trial towers focused purely on evaluating combat power. Given his strength, he could certainly afford to give them a try.
On the other side, Keine and Akyu exchanged glances after listening to the exchange between the two. Their eyes met, and for a moment, they were utterly at a loss for words.
Chen Jiran pressed down hard on the wheels of his chair with both hands, and Dr. Gao did not dare to force the issue, well aware that once Chen Jiran's temper flared, he would pay no heed to his own injuries whatsoever, leaving him—the doctor—to pick up the pieces and suffer the consequences.
To play it safe, An Zhe directly activated his abilities, and the formidable aura around him surged upward. Since everyone present already knew his identity as the mysterious stranger, he had no need to conceal it.
