However, the interview time conflicted; she had already arranged to go to a cat café with Zhang Runzhi and the others on Saturday afternoon.

Qin Han thought to himself, obedience my foot. The fortune-奪运 (fortune-seizing) skill wasn't triggered, and the secret manual wasn't obtained. You're just talking nonsense, and only a fool would believe you.

Gu Liangchuan's tone and gestures showed not the slightest sign of yielding. He glared straight at Gu Xiao, his eyes filled with such turbulent waves that Gu Xiao instinctively clutched her chest in shock.

Xiao Ruoshui was stunned at first, and then her face flushed slightly with hesitation. Not knowing what she thought of, her gaze flickered nervously, and in the end, she still lacked the courage to meet Xiao Bai's gaze.

If Ning Daoqi were completely unharmed, winning a two-on-one against Qin Han and his companion would be nothing. But right now, that was impossible. Due to issues with the circulation of his internal energy, problems that he could usually resolve with ease now required him to employ far more variations to solve.

Could it be that this person was someone who responded to toughness rather than gentleness? If you spoke to him nicely, he would think you were weak and easily bullied, but if you threatened him with life and death, he would instead consider you a "true hero"?

If it were a greenhorn who had never laid eyes on beauties, he might actually fall for it. But Qin Han was surrounded by beauties like Ziyun and Ren Yingying, and he had seen top-tier beauties such as Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Shi Feixuan, Zhu Yuyan, Fan Qinghui, Fu Junqiang, Fu Junyu, Shen Luoyan, Dong Shuni, and Dugu Feng. Compared to them, what on earth was Jin Huanzhen?

This sound resembled the horn-like call of a tier-three fierce beast, but it was much clearer and possessed greater penetrating power. Even from far away on the city walls, it made people's ears ring with a buzzing sound.

Reflecting on the fact that only Xiao Bai and she were in this cave right now, if Xiao Bai were to take advantage of the situation to attack her, it would be a case of shouting to the heavens with no response and pounding on the earth with no answer.

If Sui Buhu had returned to Wuliang City by himself, he could have voluntarily presented his head and maneuvered the situation so that this young noble was the one who charged into enemy lines and captured the enemy chieftain after the city fell. Although this wouldn't count as a massive meritorious service, it could at least offset a considerable portion of his guilt.

The family doctor smiled faintly and said nothing more. After all, he was only a family doctor; it wasn't his place to meddle in other people's affairs or talk too much. Besides, she was a mother, and worrying about her son was the most natural thing in the world.

After that conversation on that day, sure enough, before long, news reached the palace that the Prince of Zhen'an, who had originally stayed stationed in Lingnan, had rebelled. It was one thing for this prince to rebel, but unexpectedly, quite a number of people in various regions responded as well, raising banners of revolt one after another, all dissatisfied with the rule of the Great Wei Emperor and eager to rebel.

Huaiyu and Duan Qinqin stayed behind at the Boyun Pavilion to help care for the patients, while Gu Yuzhao went out of the city with Gu Yanhe early in the morning.

At this very moment, while everyone was enthusiastically searching through ancient texts, Chen Yige was lying on his bed, attempting to communicate with the King of Loulan using his spiritual sense. A whole day passed, and he still had not received any response.

With cultivation reaching a realm where he could disregard the physical body and lifespan limits like Wenren Dao, it was already difficult to find anyone more formidable than him under the heavens. Having lived for so long, what was there that he had not seen? What was there that he had not obtained?

Killing ordinary people was different from killing Commander Li and Steward Li. The former were hired hands with whom he had no grievances or enmity, while the latter were the chief culprits behind the destruction of his family, and they deserved to be executed by his own hands.

Among the alien locusts eliminated by the Star-Mark on Earth, the earliest batch were directly "erased" from the quantum level by the Star-Mark, making it so they had never existed in the first place. However, later on, the Star-Mark stopped using this method precisely because force is reciprocal.

"His problem isn't with his professional skills; it's with his mindset. He consults Joseph about everything, but the mindset of foreigners is different from ours as Chinese."

"We will protect you!" Zatanna created a magical wall to block the path between him and Edward.

Gu San said nothing, only increasing the force in his hands. Mrs. Blue looked toward Blue Yueqing and slapped the bed fiercely.

A single sentence jolted me awake as if from a dream. Only then did I realize how naive my mother and I had been—how backward country folk truly were, possessing a lump of gold yet unable to sell it.

"Why bother uttering such hypocritical words? You know full well that my relationship with him is deep, and it is absolutely impossible for me to stand by with folded arms. You had anticipated this scene all along, and this way, the Dao Sect would also lose any ground to stand on," Lin Dong sneered mockingly.

The difference lay in the fact that the Cambrean World was created by Chang'e. The core of world creation was the divine power of frost, Chang'e's own divine power crystalline core, which naturally could not be compared with the heart of the Chaos Realm—the Heart of Chaos.

Hokkaido had its specialty dishes, but generally, they were similar to the rest of Japan. You could say that only now did she truly feel like a chef, and deep down, she really wanted to show off her skills.

Seeing that neither Yan Yunzhi nor Yan Yan happened to be around, she told the coachman to wait outside, saying she had something to say to her master.

Every word spoken by Qiu Yuxuan was a tremendous torment, even though he had a six or seven-tenths certainty that Yichen was merely a bluffing impostor.

Meanwhile, after undergoing a rigorous inspection by Wang Yun to ensure her appearance could not be seen by others, Diaochan walked out of Wang Yun's residence under the surveillance of over a dozen accompanying estate servants, going out to enjoy the two hours of freedom granted by Wang Yun's merciful charity.

If Jiang Xinyi had been treated even slightly better by Jiang Shiqian and the others when she first time-traveled here, then at this moment, she, isolated and helpless, would certainly have been very glad to see them. But the moment she recalled how indifferent they had been to her during those few brief days at the Prime Minister's residence, her heart became even more calm as still water, without the slightest ripple.

Seeing that the situation was turning unfavorable and knowing that these undying monsters alone were unstoppable—not to mention that the enemy had now reinforcements—Zhuo Ying hastily led his personal guards out the back door and fled toward the direction of Xichuan, leaving nearly ten thousand Xichuan soldiers behind in Jiameng Pass to serve as his human shields.

The masked man watched the peony-patterned umbrella depart until the very last corner of the umbrella vanished into the floral and tree shadows. He muttered to himself, "Lass, isn't it exhausting to hate someone who has been dead for so many years?" The mask concealed his facial features, but it could not conceal the sorrow and helplessness in his words.
