Volume 1, Chapter 63: What's the Difference Between This and Going Public?

Mo Lingcheng swallowed hard, consciously ignoring the soft lips pressed against his own.

Both managers approached the match with extreme caution, and the players even more so. Jonny Howson, who had nearly recovered from his injury, rushed back into the starting lineup. His reasoning was that in such a crucial battle, his presence was an absolute must, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Shaq's relaxed mindset and his unwavering pursuit of victory brought immense comfort to the supporters of Leeds United. The current "Young Guard" would prove to be impregnable.

Xu Hai and Ye Zi arrived at a luxurious KTV private room. As they settled onto the plush sofa, Ye Zi snuggled into Xu Hai's embrace.

Deeply provoked by Xu Hai, Ye Zi rained a flurry of gentle, fist-like blows upon his chest. After striking him a dozen times, she immediately threw her arms around him and asked, "My dear husband, did I hurt you?"

They not only exchanged their real names and nicknames but even freely revealed their martial arts styles and sectarian backgrounds. Perhaps they did this because they understood a fundamental truth: treating others with absolute sincerity is, after all, the most reliable approach.

"If he genuinely achieves accomplishments comparable to the Jade Emperor in the future, then perhaps..." Thinking up to this point, the Queen Mother suddenly paused. She abruptly realized that she seemed to have only known Huo Xiangkong for a single day, yet she was already entertaining such thoughts.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, but blessings rarely arrive in pairs. Zhu Bajie had finally located Sun Wukong, only to find him severely weakened. The monkey was in a sorry state, looking as though he had been ambushed.

Of course, this was merely the general rule. Every year, quite a few rest stops across the entire Magic Moon Continent were still rendered abandoned due to fierce beast attacks. Yet, by the same token, a vast number of new rest stops were established annually.

With a sharp whistle, Chen Luo charged forward and unleashed a punch with the might of collapsing heavens. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Lin Yutian, Kou Chen, Feng Qingyu, and nine other arrogant prodigies of the Langya Realm were simultaneously blasted by his punch. Their spiritual avatars shattered, blood spewed from their seven orifices, their spiritual seas suffered severe trauma, and they collapsed onto the ground, utterly unable to stand.

Some romantic encounters leave one feeling warm and comforted, while others evoke fear. Xu Hai preferred that all his romantic encounters bring warmth.

From the very moment Xia Fan decided to spearhead this localized war, he never intended to rely solely on underhanded schemes and intrigues. Winning a war ultimately requires more than just taking risky shortcuts; what truly matters is engaging the enemy in a dignified, direct confrontation.

The mouth of the jar was sealed with a cross formed by two strips of white paper marked with charcoal. Although the seal was tight, the pungent odor still permeated the air.

Yet, as they fought fiercely among themselves, they inadvertently bought me sufficient time. I finally reached the diamond, and once again, an opportunity for immense wealth lay before me—one that I must cherish dearly.

The City of the Blood River derived its name from the river that flowed beside it, whose waters emitted an eerie crimson glow once night fell. Legend had it that a colossal battle had once taken place here, the outcome of which was so devastating that blood flowed like rivers. The waterway itself was said to have been carved out by the sheer volume of congealed blood, hence its name. Because of its proximity to this blood river, the city naturally became known as the Blood River City.

In the blink of an eye, my hands flicked and parried, deflecting Xu Tianming's punch completely off course. While I remained as steady as a rock, Xu Tianming was nearly thrown off balance by his own momentum, and a look of shock and disbelief flashed instantly in his eyes.

It seemed Jiao Jiao was truly not your average sort of cheap; she had reached an absolute pinnacle of shamelessness. Did she honestly hand over every single coin she earned from selling herself to Tang Xunlong? Anger flared within my heart, and knowing things had turned out this way, I deeply regretted not having slapped her across the face with a resounding blow back then. I was now kicking myself for having gone easy on her.

Just as Ye Zixuan finished speaking, the handless straw man from a moment before instantly sprouted a new pair of "hands."

The ingredients used to refine the pills all originated from the dimensional space, and every single component was completely non-toxic. Moreover, every ingredient served to nourish the body and could equally be utilized as medicinal plants for consumption. Because of this, Liang Moju dared to ingest them boldly, knowing it was essentially no different from dietary therapy.

Zhou Ziyan lifted her head in utter bewilderment, her vision blurred by tears, yet she still managed to discern his movement. He slowly bent down and closed his eyes.

"By the way, don't mention this matter to anyone. In front of you all, I still need to keep up my act," Gu Yunmi instructed earnestly.

"Why don't you tell them instead!" He Qingfan said, casting a glance at Huangfu Huan. He, too, was eager to muddy the waters and had no desire to play the villain. He was clearly a bright, sunshine-type handsome young man—why on earth should they force him to be the bad guy? It completely clashed with his character and his moral integrity. Without a natural performance true to oneself, how could anyone ever deliver a transcendent display?

Just as Jun Hui was feeling immensely pleased with herself and about to turn around to leave the rooftop, her body suddenly trembled violently. She then clutched her chest with her right hand, gasping for breath continuously as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife, racked with excruciating pain.

Gu Chen gazed at his own transformation, his heart swelling with immense joy. He had never anticipated that a night of intimacy with Jun Hui would yield such an outcome. It was truly miraculous beyond measure.

She had been utterly exhausted these past few days. Aside from stabilizing her foundation in the Qi Condensation stage, she had also worked through the night to elevate her cultivation directly to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Mo discovered that the back garden of the Drifting Snow Courtyard was surprisingly beautiful, filled with so many planted flowers that it must be a breathtaking sight when they bloomed in the spring.

Furthermore, his current focus remained tied to celestial matters, as assisting someone from the watery realm could elevate their status. After all, the very first police officer he had ever encountered who had helped young Master Qiu not only received a promotion in rank but had also become exceptionally formidable, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to his former self.
