Volume 1, Chapter 63: Conan Qin's Wrath Pierces the Sky
Before heading to Country R this time, Ye Nan felt extremely relaxed, without a single worry about who would win the awards. As everyone knew, Youran Ingredients excelled in three top-tier categories: fruits, vegetables, and meat products.
Finally, that monstrous toad could no longer hold back its impatience; it lacked Xu Chi’s steady endurance. Shooting straight upward like a divine dragon soaring into the heavens, it let out a resonant cry, violently flipped over, and lunged downward toward Xu Chi.
A day later, Tang Zhou’s paintings were already circulating widely among the nobles of Chang'an City.
And that was not all. They also needed to be provided with a comfortable environment like Paradise Island—perhaps only through such measures could the quality of the fighting cocks be improved, or perhaps awaken a spark of intelligence within them?
However, Lu Xu did not persist in studying it. After all, he was already an adept pill refiner himself; casually churning out a batch of medicinal pills yielded effects roughly comparable to this cultivation technique of Cang Li.
If she simply let slide the fact that someone had beaten her, Empress Wu’s people, what would become of her imperial dignity as Empress, and how could she command the obedience of others in the future?
"I’m afraid that wouldn't be very appropriate," Wang Cheng said with his lips, yet he followed Ye Qinglian anyway.
"Go immediately and fetch some hot water and potted plants," Chen Boyi said. After halting his movements, he dragged the bed to the dead center of the room and then paced around the chamber once.
Yet, viewed another way, noble lineages and illustrious heritage carried responsibilities alongside glory—that was inherently the fairest rule of all.
Pianya refers to a specific piping technique used in garment making, where a narrow strip of cotton or satin binding is inserted into the seams of clothing trims.
"Then could you please tell me what kind of chip it actually is?" Hearing Yan Dong's words, Jiu Xiao asked with a face full of curiosity.
The three of them felt as though they were riding the mists and hurtling through the clouds; before their eyes was an expanse of distorted golden light. When that terrifying force dissipated and they slammed onto the ground, they realized to their astonishment that the phoenix tree was entirely gone, and they were instead standing upon a mountain path. The guardrail by the roadside bore signs of having been impacted—it was precisely the spot where they had parked their vehicle earlier.
At that moment, Xiuying returned with the morning meal. Seeing that it was already late morning, the two of them could only manage to drink a little of the congee cooked by Xiuwan, accompanied by a few bites of pickles fetched from the imperial kitchen.
Although the transit credentials for the Underworld Palace had not been successfully negotiated, I have already arranged terms with Lord Ugarte, granting you special permission to leave the Gods' Peninsula ahead of schedule. Pack your things and come with me to the airport shortly," Lucas said.
Although beasts of the land were not necessarily inferior in strength to birds of the air, the mere ability to fly was something that filled many with envy.
"Your ancestral home is in Guide Prefecture, am I right? Inside the ancient city of Guide, there is a Fire God Terrace, and upon the terrace rests a stone blade. Go and pull that stone blade out and bring it to me," Lord Emperor instructed via message.
The brothers Li Hu and Li Shi rose early to pack everything they needed. They were going to take the village's only ox cart to town to buy a horse and some medicine, as well as gather information about the situation in Huaibei City.
The scene shifted. Under the warm, cozy lighting, the father, mother, and older brother were gathered together. The mother picked up a piece of dish with her chopsticks and placed it into a bowl.
Behind her, Li笙 watched as she walked further and further away. The confusion in his eyes deepened, seemingly gradually negating something, and it was only after a long while that he softly issued his orders.
Seeing that Li Sheng was actually able to guess a thing or two, Ran Bingchen could not help feeling a bit astonished; she narrowed her eyes and asked with curiosity.
Hearing that familiar voice, Shen Nanping instantly raised her head. The moment she caught sight of Shen Shuqing, her eyes lit up brightly.
Meanwhile, the slaughter along the coastline was gradually drawing to a close. With the deaths of the twelve island lords, the faction members from all the islands had completely collapsed into a routed mob. Facing the soul-suppressing and awe-inspiring tactics of the thousand garrison members, they likewise possessed virtually no capacity to resist.
Shen Shushu drooped her head, utterly unable to figure out how she could possibly have blurted out such words.
Therefore, Jing Meng, who had already planned everything out well in advance, applied pressure on Lord Yama the moment the latter stepped into the grand hall, intending thereby to probe Lord Yama's cultivation level.
"Ranran, don't you guys have training tonight?" She clearly remembered how exhausted they used to be, running like dogs from dawn till dusk.
After putting on her clothes and stepping out of the castle, Ge Qi got into the luxury car from the previous night. None of the security guards stopped her, and she passed through all checkpoints smoothly. However, when Ge Qi drove up to a certain corner, she found she could drive no further.
Mu Xueran vaguely felt as though she had forgotten something, but as drowsiness washed over her, she could not be bothered to dwell on it.
Ge Zhenjiang’s impassioned words made Mo Sikong want nothing more than to sneer coldly. He truly saw through a man like Ge Zhenjiang now.
Yet such excitement and satisfaction turned to shock—though Kobe's admiration remained unchanged—when Yes beat the buzzer to sink another mid-court shot right over Batum's face, and Kidd suddenly appeared in the exact spot shared by Yes and Batum.
Perhaps because the grievance emanating from the fellow beside her was simply too profound, Li Jianing belatedly realized that Yi Xinhiny was angry. She hurriedly hooked her arm around the other girl's neck, soothing her ruffled feathers.
Liang E'er squeezed her way to the very front, where she spotted a flutter of colorful banners in the distance. Accompanied by the clamor of gongs and drums, everyone bowed wherever the diplomatic delegation passed, appearing as though they were kneeling.
This was the third timeout requested by Erik Spoelstra in the first quarter alone; he had already exhausted all his timeouts for the entire first quarter with a full three minutes still remaining on the clock.
Zhao Huaiyan was furious to death. Just as she was wondering what to do, Yun Ling's voice drifted over from afar.
This remark worried everyone present. While heatstroke hadn't struck them personally this time, it didn't mean it couldn't happen to them in the future.
Zhao Huaiyan resided in the Rong'an Courtyard of the Yanxiao Palace, while Zhu Xuanguang lived in the Yangyi Palace; their paths did not overlap. Having vomited blood earlier that morning and fainted once more shortly before, Zhao Huaiyan was in no condition to expend any further mental energy today. She obediently returned to her own quarters to rest.
To her utter surprise, the divine doctor arrived uninvited just a few days later. At that time, Zhong Lan was investigating the reasons behind why she kept dreaming of bloody scenes in this world, when she was suddenly informed that the divine doctor had presented himself at the door.
He felt that Wang Zhen looked somewhat different today compared to usual, though he couldn't quite pinpoint the exact reason. She seemed more mature and elegant, with every movement radiating a distinct, captivating charm.
