Volume 1, Chapter 36: Are you... jealous?

"Hehe! This is to steady the mind and facilitate a better fusion of the blood," Chen Hao said with a smile. In truth, he felt their actions were somewhat cruel, as they were introducing Xiaoxiang's blood into their own bodies to activate the power hidden deep within them.

Although this charity auction was quite high-profile, the organizers had not invited any government officials, a fact that Gongsun Yu could not help but admire.

She had no intention of startling Gongsun Yu, and she lay beside him for a full five minutes. But after five minutes, she suddenly slipped under the silk quilt. Gongsun Yu opened his eyes, staring curiously at her back. What was she trying to do?

Tang Jin suddenly sensed something at that moment and looked up at her. Their eyes met, and Chen Bingwen felt her face burn with heat. She hurriedly turned and walked into the inner room.

"Chen Hao, you had better put away this wicked thing, or you will regret it," Qingque scolded loudly, hoping Chen Hao would retract this terrifying object to avoid further resentment from the clansmen.

"Mountain Ghost" Shi Daoting was also one of the five banner masters of the Heavenly Stone Palace. He was a true genius; some even believed the only reason he had not been ranked among the three great grandmasters of the era was his extreme low profile—so low that no one realized how terrifying he was until the very last moment before he killed them.

Because Chen Dang and He Ling already knew that Hong Jin was refining medicine and should not be disturbed, they would not come to bother her, and would instead prevent Hong Feng and others from doing so.

"You are you, and I am me. Why should I know you? And you shouldn't know me either," Duoduo said.

The land gradually drew near, and the wind began to howl. The island had high mountains and rugged terrain, with high peaks on both sides and a lower center, the western part being particularly precipitous. The trees on the mountain were not dense, appearing sparse and scattered, yet there was not a single flat piece of land.

"I actually understood..." Telong shook his head, wanting to laugh, but his ribs ached, so he quickly steadied himself with his hand. He had been following Midnight, going up and down steps, walking for quite a while, until he circled back to the room where he had been recovering.

Moreover, what satisfied her most was that the Emperor now harbored suspicions toward Noble Consort Cao, which would make subsequent matters easier to handle.

Opening his eyes once more in the room at the "Solid Hammer" Inn, Feiqi met Midnight's gaze. The black cat's bright, glossy pupils reflected Feiqi's figure like a mirror; both man and cat appeared extremely serious.

From beginning to end, Tang Ke never mentioned the golden briefcase. If he had brought it up, it would have seemed too deliberate, but both Tang Ke and Meng Xi felt that it must be that very item.

The five-hundred-word piece contained a different flavor in Shang Haozhi's eyes.

If the child in Gu Jingshu's womb were still alive, he would be the legitimate eldest grandson of the Qiao family. That old witch should have felt quite honored, right?

"Have there been any changes in the war?" Although Gatter visited the Ministry of War from time to time, when it came to understanding the situation, the old man before him knew the most.

The former Underworld Sovereign truly possessed such power. At this moment, Su Mo's technique could indeed turn the world upside down and reshape the heavens and earth. However, Bu Wuhei's technique had also already taken form.

A moment later, Ouyang Linglong instructed the nanny to prepare a feast. Ouyang Nanxiao even brought out a bottle of rare red wine to enjoy with Yun Feng, and today, Ouyang Nanxiao even allowed Ouyang Linglong to drink a little.

In fact, Chen Fubai's thoughts were also Feng Xi's thoughts. It was just that different things required different people to do them; otherwise, Feng Xi could have completely let Chen Fubai end his own life just now.

Su Nan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud. As he laughed, he let go of his left arm and placed his hand on his own face instead.

"I hope that is truly the case." Xie Ronghua watched him quietly for a moment, replied coldly, and strode forward.

If these words had been spoken by Sakura Haruno in the original story, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, would have remained indifferent, because clearing Uchiha Itachi's name would bring immense negative repercussions to Konoha. Konoha, the leader of the five great hidden villages, had, in the name of so-called peace and stability, sent Uchiha Itachi to slaughter the entire Uchiha clan.

But Naruto was different. His strongest move was the Rasengan, and he was a bit slow-witted, so Jiraiya suggested he continue to study the Rasengan during his training rather than teaching him too many new ninjutsu.

"The ability of Sekhmet of Sloth is 'Unseen Hand.' This thing, which can be controlled by thought, helps her pick up items, bathe, walk, and everything else." Although Echidna introduced it this way, no one appeared behind her this time.

Even if the mission was doomed to fail, she did not leave. She would continue; it was a matter of attitude.

The Emperor of Zhou looked at the clear tea in his cup and nodded approvingly, then raised his eyes to land on the gentle-natured Consort Hui.

Currently, the Emperor was treating the Li family generously, but once Li Jilong passed away and the Empress Dowager departed, the Li family would surely decline. What if someone else promised the position of Empress to the Li family?

Su Nan hurriedly steadied his mind, glanced at "Nochard" beside Chu Xuan, and sneered.

Chen Jialuo also wanted to break through to the Golden Immortal realm sooner. Caiyun was, of course, more than willing to go to the Lunar Star. After activating the teleportation array, the two appeared directly on the Lunar Star and entered into a long period of cultivation.

"It is no longer an issue. My Lord, you should attend to your official duties first. Later, I will have the servants prepare dinner, and we can eat together when you return," Jun Yi said calmly, her voice gentle.

"Ke'er, Bai, why don't you stay with me a while longer? Besides, there's no one at your home anyway, so it won't be a problem to keep me company for a bit more," Li Yi said with a smile.

Dumbfounded, Feng Yu nodded, closing his open mouth, though his eyes remained wide open.

Naturally, even though Zhou You's capacity for alcohol was immense, heavy drinking still affected his spirit the next day to some extent. In such a state, he naturally ignored those complicated matters.

"Deputy Director Zhang, I heard the municipal bureau is looking to hire an outside boxing coach. I recommend Gao Yu to you. What do you think?" Chen Fusheng's anger had been but a fleeting moment. Ignoring the reactions of others, he turned to Zhang Hai-feng, his face restored to a smile.
