Consort Shu was born in the South, so she always found winters difficult to endure. Seeing such a beautiful scene now, she could not help but develop a newfound fondness for the cold winter.
However, as they reached a street away from the post house, a man with an anxious expression hurried over to meet them, clearly relieved to see them.
Yue Tuo, however, had a gentle temperament. He cast a glance at the servant, gave a brief instruction, and then shoved his jade cigarette holder back into his mouth, taking a few fierce puffs.
Lingxi’s ears were ringing from the thunderous sound. Just as she was about to look out the window, she saw Hanyan enter, accompanied by Eunuch Feng from Emperor Yong’an’s side.
Lingxi looked back at Empress Dowager Xiaohe, who was struggling to keep up with her, her hair already turned white; tears fell from her eyes once more.
At that moment, a hand reached out from nowhere and suddenly dragged her into the thicket. As soon as Tang Ning looked up and saw Li Zhan, she immediately raised her hand, intending to slap him.
"It must be them. Let’s look at these cats on the ground first. What should we do? Are they just dead like this?" I asked, shining my flashlight on each cat. Feizi even kicked one; they were indeed dead.
"That spot is mine, it's mine!" the old lady gestured hurriedly, speaking with urgency.
The wind suddenly grew stronger, and his body, which seemed to have no bones, was also suddenly "blown" into an unbelievable angle.
"Attack!" Penglai was shocked. Because this was an improvised scene, it had been agreed that she would casually take out some prop to strike and put on a show, and Zuo Jinghong would defend against it, pretending to be injured. How could he actually be hurt? What was going on?
If this were a fantasy world, someone like him would possess undeniable charisma, becoming either a master warlock or a powerhouse of modern weaponry.
However, Miaoshan was also a righteous person committed to preventing the apocalypse, and therefore trustworthy. Testing this path was by no means a loss.
Silver Horn was patiently waiting for them to argue over who would carry him when he suddenly saw a jade-like foot stomp onto his chest with immense force. Immediately after, he saw a cudgel strike toward him. Just as he tried to dodge, he lost consciousness.
She had only come over to absolve herself of responsibility. In the end, she had brought this trouble upon herself; if she hadn't made that call, none of this would have happened.

Aunt Bai had actually gotten married after coming down from the mountain, and her child was already this old? Did Grandpa Turtle know that his generation had risen by one?
Song Qitang was terrified, regretting that she had been so careless and had overlooked Ruan Xiuzhu’s strange behavior.
Seeing that Uncle Qiu’s expression was poor, Situ Tianyou stepped behind him and saw many things like insects wriggling on the display screen.
How could someone who had slacked her way up to this point be qualified to teach the Demon Lord swordsmanship? How does one write "to show off one's slight talent before an expert"?
The latter two lines shift to the immediate surroundings, describing the setting and capturing the reluctance to go out due to the cold. Its brilliance lies in depicting Mr. Lu’s subjective feelings in tandem with the cat.
She reached out again, wanting to pinch Tripitaka, but suddenly seeing his grave yet serene face, she understood something.
Because Xiao Qiang was so elusive, the assassins had to focus their attention on him. Yet, after finding nothing, they realized the two firing positions above had long since gone silent. When the assassins tentatively approached while firing, there was no one left; they had long since taken the opportunity to change positions.
At this moment, Jin Dabiao pressed his car key, and the Hummer parked nearby flashed its lights immediately.
Just a moment ago, the spiritual energy he had spread around his body detected a trace of psychic intrusion. Realizing it was Zhu Di attempting to probe Su Rongrong, he blocked her path and channeled his own spiritual energy to resist.
In Liu Junfeng’s view, though he did not want to admit it, Lin Fei had indeed displayed strength sufficient to move the higher-ups.
What Meng Qi did not expect was that his good brother, Zhang Bao, had entered the rankings in first place! Even more incredible was that the second place was Su Rongrong, which Meng Qi had never imagined!
Looking at the cartoon bathrobe she wore and thinking of the tender, pink skin beneath it, Wei Zijie’s heart suddenly began to beat wildly and uncontrollably.
Simultaneously, he stepped forward quickly and grabbed a man in black behind Su Baobao, flinging him to the side.
Giants were not considered human here; they were merely a type of humanoid animal, and their status was even lower than that of a martial servant.

They had been forced to consume the Heart-Lost Pill; now that they wanted the antidote, how could there be such a cheap deal in the world?
One by one, the experts were blasted into minced meat by the long tail of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast.
"Look, these are the blueprints for the ship I’ve drawn. You take a look first, then I’ll give some introduction, and we can thoroughly understand the structure of this vessel so you’ll have a clear idea when you build it," Ximeng said, handing the drawings to Master Liu.
Deng the Second still had quite a bit of confidence in his father, so he took two guards from the Duke of Courage's mansion and returned to Zhige, traveling day and night.
"No need, I’m not hungry," I said, about to head into the inner room. I stopped just as I lifted the cotton curtain and turned back.
Not long ago, Kyoko had confirmed that she did not necessarily have to wait for the turbulence to jump; as long as the Pathfinder’s system finished recharging, she could jump again.
Hiding in the narrow gap, Chu Feng and Piaoxu held their breath. Everything around them was too quiet; if they made even the slightest sound, they would be discovered immediately, so they absolutely could not make any noise.
By observing the vastly changed Soul Pill and Martial Pill, Du Qiandian realized that he had advanced without even noticing! His soul power cultivation had reached the level of a Great Archmage, and his martial power had entered the ranks of a Martial Saint. In a daze, he had achieved a double breakthrough! He was likely the youngest Martial Saint in the history of the Earth-Chen Star.
How could Zeng Zhengyi lose face in front of Ziye? With a roar, he pointed at the management committee, his face flushed red.
The lightning generated by those magnetic fields struck the pale golden radiance on its exterior, merely flickering without reaching the Flying Swallow. Clearly, the Flying Swallow’s defense system had activated.
Chu Feng stripped off his clothes and jumped in, his face full of comfort and ease. As for the 250 million gold coins he had given away, he felt nothing; after all, Nan Zhenyan couldn't possibly give him nothing in return. Furthermore, giving Nu Zimeng 50 million gold coins was only to ensure no one would suspect he had foreknowledge.
