Volume 1, Chapter 31: A Curvaceous Silhouette

"Special Assistant Zhou?" Shen Qingqing recognized Mo Lingcheng's voice.

She looked around, feeling inexplicably guilty. "I... I'm at home."

She had clearly heard Qin Fangni say that only Mo Lingcheng would be attending the event tonight and that Special Assistant Zhou had other arrangements.

"Have you been drinking?" Mo Lingcheng detected a state in Shen Qingqing similar to the night she was intoxicated.

Shen Qingqing paused, surprised by his sharp investigative instincts.

She had indeed had a little to drink, partly to bolster her courage and partly to leave herself an exit strategy. If Mo Lingcheng were to throw her out of the room, she would at least have a graceful way to step down.

"No..." Shen Qingqing leaned against the wall, her voice lacking conviction.

"Ma'am, be careful!..."

During an evening greeting with her aunt, her aunt told him he would be accompanying her to Moscow.

With perks like the Order of Saint Andrew to solidify his position as heir, plus fluency in French, was there any reason to hesitate?

Is this adventurous dream a real player? If so, we can reclaim the honor of the Imperial Regiment.

Looking around, the hall was gray and hazy, with strange plants even sprouting in some places.

Chen Jianghai returned to his room, called Lin Wanqiu to let her know he was safe, and then fell straight to sleep.

The scissors slipped from her hand, and a flush crept across her face, which had been pale as snow.

Long Fusheng intended to groom her; although money could solve many problems, she couldn't afford to be completely ignorant, could she?

After searching for about ten minutes and checking every cabinet, we found no valuable clues at all.

Kato's three old teammates were all stunned. As they entered, they discovered two sci-fi-style motorcycles parked inside.

Sister Laura shook her head and touched the spot where she had been kicked, finding only a slight ache and no serious injury.

"Ugh!" Because he had let go with one hand, the boy's palm strike landed solidly on the tiger, but he was knocked down as a result.

Li Xiansheng was already furious. As the young scion of a great clan from the First Heaven of the Primordial Era, he didn't necessarily need to curry favor with Hao Qingxuan and Hao Shengtian, but he would naturally try to befriend them if given the chance.

The few energy warriors hovering around twice the speed of sound were like toddlers learning to walk in his eyes; even if they scattered, it wouldn't take him much effort to catch them.

Li He carried the Four Elements Browning, walked slowly to the bald middle-aged man who had collapsed on the ground, and gently helped him up.

Lin Hai felt a bitter smile in his heart; he hadn't expected that after all the hardships to see the Queen, this would be the outcome.

What Li Erlong hadn't expected was that, whether his father was too happy or had drunk a little, he didn't fly into a rage as Li Erlong had anticipated.

The advertising model of Tomato Garden was to integrate Baidu into the default system installation, pin it to the favorites bar, and lock it as the default browser—essentially what would later be known as rogue software.

Putting away the heart lamp, Qin Fen focused his gaze on the silver needle he had 'inserted'. It was stuck, perfectly centered, into a kitchen door.

Shao Li had gone into the mountains with her to pick herbs, but the cave collapsed, and Shao Li had dug through the rubble until his hands were covered in blood.

Wait, if Zhao Juan found out he had bought a computer, she would be suspicious; after all, who buys a computer for a high school student?

Looking at the atmosphere, which was completely different from a moment ago, Kakashi stood to the side with dead-fish eyes, looking utterly helpless.

Yi Chuxin realized that Yang Lang had something to say to her but wanted to avoid Chen Su, so she agreed readily.

Chan Yu's eyes remained indifferent, his face expressionless. He slowly looked around the room, finally fixing his gaze on a tattered wooden board.

Most importantly, Liu Ziqi had just agreed to let him be her personal driver; if he were fired now, that job would go down the drain as well.

Chen Wanyu had originally been sitting at the Qin family's table, but she was so hungry she couldn't hold back anymore and got up to get something to eat. By then, she had changed out of her cheongsam and high heels, as wearing them was simply too uncomfortable.

They hadn't walked far in the woods of the Purple Zone when they saw a main road, though there were no cars.

Uchiha Makoto, acting on the principle of strengthening their combat power, decided to let Sako use [Complete Possession] to control Urashiki Otsutsuki's body.

"Did she say whether everyone can practice this introductory mental cultivation technique?" Lin Luo asked.

Facing four wounded Anbu-level ninja from the Hidden Stone, Uchiha Makoto's freshly recovered chakra erupted once more, causing his attack speed to soar.

Liu Yuan picked up a stone weighing about twenty pounds from the ground and, to demonstrate its hardness, used it to smash a block of solid ice.

Han Qiu was, after all, a monstrous talent ranked third in the fourth branch of his lineage; his death would clearly have significant repercussions.

Zhu Jiu nodded. After a moment of thought, he decided that what he needed most right now were various ghosts and evil spirits to feed the newly hatched Purple Mist Ghouls.

In truth, although Daoist Hetu had a simple and rigid personality, he was not a particularly harsh or demanding master. If one occasionally overstepped or acted impudently in front of him, he wouldn't mind... however, besides Hetu and the two young acolytes, there was also a stern-faced senior sister from the sect present in the room.

"Pfft!" With a muffled sound, the great general was reduced to a pulp of flesh.

The two ships drew closer. The crew on the other side waved enthusiastically, their sallow, gaunt faces beaming with smiles. They were always this happy during every trade because Cui Zhenghao would always give them extra gifts, such as erotic magazines from Hong Kong or Japanese AV discs.

Zhao Yang handed the peeled mango to Chenxi. Just as she was about to eat it, she saw Duoduo sucking his finger and looking at her with bright eyes, so she held the mango to Duoduo's mouth. Seeing Duoduo wouldn't let go, she leaned in to eat from the other side.

According to people's expectations, Wang Lu would likely have to wait until these people had trained at Junhuang Mountain for enough time to raise their combat power to an average of FL8 before it would be worth making a move.
