Having finished shelling a small basket of walnuts, her fingertips were now aching faintly, the pads of her fingers red, swollen, and split with tiny cracks. Setting down the copper pliers in her hand, Shen Quaneyi clenched her numb fingers.

Zuo Li stood up and glanced sideways, only to see Shen Quaneyi beside her with lowered eyes and a submissive expression.

"It turns out that Concubine Shen is so dexterous. Since you are so thoughtful, the rest shall all be left in your capable hands."

As the words fell, the door curtain was lifted, and a maidservant walked in, bowing as she supported a lacquer...

The divine physician ignored him, gave a slight bow to Mo Zili, and walked away with his medicine box and a green-robed boy.

"Since the stone gate has opened, we must rely on our own abilities to compete once we enter," Gu Wan snorted, casting a cold glance at Xu Wen, and strode into the stone gate first.

Princess Jingyang let out a helpless laugh, just about to say something when her peripheral vision caught Jing Jingxi wearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost beside her. Her lips twitched, and the words she had prepared to say were suddenly forgotten.

Had he not seen with his own eyes how this creature dug out human hearts and shoved them into its mouth, Constable Jiang might have struggled not to feel a shred of pity.

In truth, the destructiveness of this earthquake had long exceeded their imagination. What they had seen was merely the tip of the iceberg; the severely affected disaster areas actually spanned up to 100,000 square kilometers, which was a rarity in the history of global earthquakes.

That wooden seal was purplish-brown and unremarkable, yet carved upon it was a golden ape wearing a golden crown, clad in battle armor, and wielding a pillar that reached the heavens. With its head raised toward the sky in furious rage, it was unknown which generation of sect master of the Golden Ape Clan it represented.

Naruto's Chunin exam this time is not as simple as you might think. As you saw before, you must have the strength to protect yourself by then," Yezang said solemnly. From their previous conversation, Naruto also knew that what Yezang said was indeed true.

Speaking of missing his father, Luo Ziyao inevitably recalled the time when he first came to the cultivation world, and thought of old friends as well.

Xiao Tianyang blurted out the doubts in his heart, feeling much lighter as a result. He quietly watched He Manzi, waiting for the impending storm.

After an entire concert spanning over forty songs, Zhou Zekai brought the performance to a close amidst the cheers of eighty thousand fans. He still thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being adored and cheered on by everyone.

Empress Wang's ultimate target was merely Liangyu Chenxi. Strictly speaking, she should have come for a follow-up checkup; this time, she had been placed in a somewhat passive position.

Ming Fei replied simply, carrying a trace of unreadable emotion, "We've arrived; it should be this room." With that, she walked forward as if guided by a sense of duty.

Judging from the performance of the cultivators they had encountered earlier at that time, they all acted precisely as Heng Yanlin had described.

Once finished here, the girls were called upon again to lead the children to the cafeteria, assign their seating, and arrange the tableware. They had no choice but to comply.

Since she had returned, however, she was unwilling to let years of striving go to waste—at the very least, she refused to let herself down. Going all out was an absolute given; she could not afford to give others another opportunity to mock her.

Meijiao panicked: "You're talking nonsense! How could Lin Ke be fine? That count was clearly sucking his blood just now." Shaking off Meijiao, Ming Fei angrily turned back to retrace her steps.

Nanny Kong's angry roar made Kong Yixian inwardly groan that things were bad, forcing her to timidly stretch out her hand. Peeling off the Band-Aid revealed three large, blood-filled blisters.

Autumn arrived with the sound of falling leaves, its mornings as fresh as dew. The sky emitted a soft, clear, and ethereal radiance, evoking the desire to hear the song of a soaring skylark, much like gazing at the blue sea while dreaming of a distant white sail. The setting sun is the wing of time, unfolding in a burst of breathtaking splendor as it takes flight.
