Volume 1, Chapter 21: Unexpected Complications

Finally, unable to watch any longer, Sheng Xiao and Lu Siye kicked him in the rear. Caught off guard, Yan Jinchen stumbled forward and fell right in front of Li Mengmeng.

Old Man Liu is the master of Green Willow Villa. With countless shops under his name, he is wealthy enough to rival a nation. He maintains excellent relations with righteous figures and is well-informed. He is tactful and frequently engages in charitable works, earning him a stellar reputation in the martial arts world.

As the children grew older, she treated them all equally, fearing that any perceived favoritism might cause psychological distress; she could not let a mere joke hurt their feelings.

Between the Feng Kingdom and the Qiao Kingdom lies a border stretching over three thousand miles, filled with mountains, rivers, and plains, making it quite easy to hide.

Since that day, she had ignored him entirely. He thought she bore a grudge against him, yet he never expected that in such a life-or-death situation, she would set aside her grievances to devise a plan for the Prince.

It seems I truly need to investigate the truth; the Divine Realm appears to be far filthier and more corrupt than I realized.

Tang Xintong tugged at the quilt, shyly covering the marks Lu Yuchen had left on her skin.

The entire story shifted from its original saccharine, sweet romance tone into a narrative of star-crossed lovers.

Ziyao raised an eyebrow. "A guess. You have been cultivating a large number of doctoral students, leading them in experiments involving body and head transplants because you know that relying solely on your own strength would never yield enough experience."

"Aunt, that is certainly no problem, but..." Yun Xiqian stopped, looking somewhat troubled.

While the group was talking, the "culprit," Liu Jin'er, had already taken a hook and an electric handheld ascender from her space without anyone noticing.

Just yesterday, their big boss was in a meeting, scolding a project manager to the point of humiliation and demanding that he resubmit his proposal.

Although this villa was just a bare-shell structure, it had the advantage of being empty, avoiding any conflict with others, and most importantly, it was right next door to the big boss.

As someone who had been through it before, the Princess of Jing saw that Chu Qing’s pants were wet and immediately knew her water had broken.

Chu Qing looked up at Jiang Youning, then glanced at Xiao Yu. After a moment of thought, she picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his bowl.

A massive roar erupted from the seating platform. Amidst the flying debris, Chen Xiao drew his sword and charged out; thousands of silver threads proved worthless against the dark energy.

No one answered Lu Anzhe’s question. Cui Hangyu pushed aside the charred corpse of a zombie, looking at his own hands in shock and disbelief, though his sweat and tears blurred his vision.

Moreover, Lu Yao knew clearly that they were of the "Normal +3" grade, enhanced by the system, and possessed intelligence far superior to ordinary birds.

At Xia Boyang’s touch, Cuihua felt a jolt run through her entire body, as if she had been electrocuted. It was the first time since she was born that she had been held so tightly by a man, especially a man whose charm she acknowledged.

As a classic, versatile underwater spirit beast capable of both offense and defense, they have always been the top choice for many beast tamers.

It was as if a child were separated from its mother, filled with anxiety and pain. With that miserable wail, the feeling intensified until almost everyone was moved to tears of sorrow.

"Ugh!" Kuang Long laughed, staggering back several steps as bright red blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain.

"Of course, we haven't decided yet to make him a full-time politician," Michelle replied.

At this moment, He Bidong was like a volcano, one that could erupt at any time and any place.

Shen Jiaqi led him to a clothing store for the middle-aged and elderly, where she selected two outfits for about fifty yuan.

"Before the troops move, provisions must go first. With the army assembling and battle imminent, securing the grain supply is of the utmost importance. I have a position as the supervisor of the granary guard; I wonder if Sect Leader Dao would be willing to condescend to take it?" Gongsun Mingsheng asked.

There were many investors for the sequel to *Save the Last Dance*. In addition to A+ Pictures, Universal, Amblin Entertainment, and Geffen Pictures were all involved, but in terms of production, A+ Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, who had established a tacit understanding during the first film, remained the leaders.

That Zhukov was Stalin’s favorite general was as well-known throughout the Red Army as Comrade Stalin’s habit of using his pipe to relieve stress.

"I wonder who will be lucky enough to be chosen," Jun Moxie said softly, looking at the grand arena, which reminded him of the Olympic Games he had seen a long, long time ago.

After settling the matter, Mo Wu strolled around the medium-sized secret gold mine a few times before returning to the Qingshan Sect.

Although Jingjing would still have to head to that Endless Sea of Corpses after dealing with those demons, it shouldn't be a problem given her strength. But why hadn't a single message come through yet?

However, when faced with the old man's full aura and power, he realized his estimate was wrong; the old man was actually a peak-level Divine Venerable.

Xu Bansheng waved his hand and let out a long breath. His face, which had grown paler from the overly strenuous movement, finally regained a hint of color.

However, the pale face beneath the metallic covering made it clear that his internal state was not as recovered as his expression suggested.

Of course, this refers to the entire clan, and the seven branches all point to the main branch. Beneath the main branch are many sub-branches, each led by a head of the household. It is as if the Xu family were a city: the clan leader is equivalent to the mayor, the heads of the seven branches are like district or county heads, and further down, there are town mayors.

Although the Frost Emperor had burned his life essence, it did not have the miraculous effect of a sacrificial technique; his injuries were not fully healed, and his head remained dizzy. Caught off guard for a moment, he was directly enveloped by the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Therefore, the moment Sword Wushuang released his primordial energy, vortices erupted throughout the endless void and the Great Desolation.

The grandfather clock in the hall interrupted their conversation with a loud chime. It was exactly eight o'clock.

Tiger roars echoed across the firmament, but the White Tiger summoned by Du Yusheng was slightly weaker. After all, Dongfang Kuang was already a "God of War" level powerhouse. Although Du Yusheng had used the two divine skills, "Berserk" and "War Soul Possession," to force his way from the ninth-stage War Saint to the eighth-stage War Emperor, he was still a step behind.
