Chapter 46: At the Midnight of New Year's Eve, Bestowing You with Boundless Joy
Nurse Gui nodded, watching the mistress and her two maids depart as they walked toward the Fifth Princess's bedchamber, and couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.
The look of astonishment on Xiao Zuifeng's face gradually faded, and after a moment, he said to Cheng Mujun, "You are indeed more capable than I imagined." Those matters could not have been investigated so easily.
It seemed that what she had just done was somewhat redundant; she had initially thought it was something others could not perceive, but who would have thought that others simply hadn't bothered to bicker with her at all.
Instantly, Mu Wanxin was left utterly speechless and rendered completely mute. Even though her face was burning with embarrassment, there was nowhere for her to vent it.
Sunlight fell upon the young man's slightly upturned, handsome face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, picturing that resolute figure departing into the distance. How should he approach her, and what would be the best way to do so?
Lin Ye pondered for a moment, then hurriedly pulled out the Heaven-Earth-Mysterious-Yellow Mirror from his robe and shone it upon Shuang'er.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai was naturally overjoyed. Little Xi'er would surely amaze everyone with an extraordinary performance at the entrance examination.
Shangguan Shi picked up his teacup and took a sip. Having made several consecutive phone calls just now, his throat was indeed feeling a bit dry.
Yin Henian's eyes widened in sudden terror as he struggled violently. The adhesive tape sealed tightly across his mouth muffled a desperate and frantic whine.
However, Ruan Lingzhuang's unwillingness crumbled entirely under Shi Lingyi's cold and murderous gaze.
Hearing this, the expressions of the crowd shifted. A few of the younger cultivators even wore looks of lingering anger. Xiao Cheng's proposal might not have seemed improper to him personally, but to everyone else, it felt extremely disrespectful of the rules.
The Grand State Mansion instituted one Chief Administrator and two Deputy Chief Administrators. The Chief Administrator was Mada Ma, the First Deputy was Li Qilian, and the Second Deputy was Li Taocheng.
"Of course you can." Yu Zhe handed the transaction card to the computer engineer, then turned his gaze toward Kelly.
In the battle against Duan Qin, the newly righteous rebel cavalry suffered nearly a thousand casualties, but simultaneously captured three to four thousand warhorses. These horses not only brought Shi Qing's cavalry force up to eight thousand two hundred riders, but also provided the newly established compulsory military corps with a cavalry training camp.
"Caw—" Accompanied by a bird's cry, a large cyan-winged bird spread its wings and soared forth. With just a gentle sweep of its feathers, it quickly caught up with the youth and hovered directly above his head.
"You're here. It's getting late, hurry and get in the carriage, we're leaving immediately," Lin Tian said hastily after the three of them walked over.
The gatekeeper chuckled with a dry, knowing laugh, and with a thoroughly reassured wave of his hand, let us in. One by one, we mirrored Lao Hui's expression, feigning a deep sense of grievance as if we were being exploited by the company against our will.
This was precisely the current situation of the defenders in Jinyong City. The two hundred guards left behind by Wei Tong were somewhat better off; crude as they were, they at least each had a saber or a spear. Yet the more than a thousand able-bodied young men summoned by Wang Song to defend the city had not been allocated a single weapon.
Among the clues that helped Tang Bai judge the timeline of this world was the fact that those thugs had never once heard any rumors regarding vampires and werewolves. This indicated that Underworld had not yet developed to a point where Tang Bai would be completely in the dark. By the fourth installment of Underworld, the existence of vampires and werewolves was common knowledge known to everyone.
Miao Fangfei could never have imagined that catnip—a herb that left most cats entranced and driven wild with ecstasy—could actually be refined into such a colorless liquid.
No one knew when it began, but Houtu, who had been in secluded cultivation for so long and rarely showed herself, suddenly appeared within the great hall.
There was still quite a long time before the next enemy in Dragon Ball appeared, and he refused to believe that the energy of the Phantom Realm could sustain itself for that long.
Later on, Bopolba personally entered the fray and engaged the leader of the Watar Boarman tribe in battle, which ultimately ended in a mutual defeat for both sides.
Li Tong walked over to the corner and transformed into Zhen Ji once again. Because Sun Shangxiang's figure was completely inferior to Zhen Ji's, her clothes felt uncomfortably tight, especially around those two mounds on her chest, which pressed against her with an irritating restriction.
Fortunately, the white murloc remained right where it was. Seeing that the white murloc had no intention of fleeing as it had the previous time, the bear-man managed to barely suppress the surging anger in his heart with sheer reason.
Watching Shi Wushuang's demeanor, Bai Muchen also let out a sigh. He raised his hand and pressed several acupoints on Shi Wushuang's back.
Precisely because they were young, the players of Borussia Dortmund were all the more prone to hot-headedness. Therefore, even if they possessed a clear and rational understanding in their minds, their actual reactions were not so easily reasoned with.
Doctors and nurses were busy attending to the severely wounded, feeding them rice porridge and meat broth. As for the lightly wounded, those whose hands were uninjured simply fed themselves porridge, occasionally partaking in a mouthful of meat broth. There was no helping it; the meat broth was scarce and primarily reserved to sustain the nutrition of the critically wounded along with the doctors and nurses.
Moonlight and sunlight shared the same origin, yet compared to sunlight, moonlight possessed an even more wondrous quality. The Heart of Lunar Flame, condensed from lunar energy, served as the ultimate nemesis of dark energy.
Passing beneath that large tree and arriving before another doorway, the group walked inside, only then did An Sheng realize that only upon crossing this threshold had they truly entered the inner manor.
That deeply affectionate posture of "as long as you live happily, it doesn't matter what happens to me" was truly "moving" indeed.
However, just when everyone else thought a massive battle was about to erupt, a towering and magnificent figure suddenly appeared high up in the boundless firmament.
Before Di Jun, an ancient Heavenly Emperor, even the heavenly tribulations that struck terror into the hearts of countless cultivators could not stir up the slightest ripple.
"What about him?" She looked directly at Li Zheng standing nearby. She could understand Bai Yi's bizarre and troublesome ability, but why drag Li Zheng along? Compared to herself, he looked much more like a fledgling cub, didn't he?
As Luo Tianwang drew closer to the retriever, the dog immediately bristled into a state of alertness, emitting a low growl from deep within its throat to warn Luo Tianwang not to come any closer.
Although her mastery over spiritual power had improved considerably because of this—starting from the painstaking effort it took to painstakingly condense a single mahjong tile to toss out, she could now tell which tile she was throwing even with her eyes closed. She had fully mastered the blind-touch technique of mahjong masters, and it seemed it wouldn't be long before she could assemble a complete set.
Although Luo Tianwang had set the fledgling eagle free, deep down in his heart, he hoped that one day it would fly back. All afternoon, Luo Tianwang kept waiting for the young eagle's return. Yet until nightfall, there was still no sign of it.
The situation of Xiao Taihong's search was precisely as Luo Tianwang had described. Xiao Taihong had long since met his demise, and only his severely damaged skeleton remained in his home. Even his bones had been partially gnawed away by this monster, presenting a truly tragic and gruesome scene.
