Volume 1, Chapter 40: What Prodigal Son Returning Is Worth More Than Gold; It Is Merely a Turtle Crawling Ashore for a Moment

But the moment she thought about how this matter was tied to Aunt Tang’s marriage, her confidence wavered. If she were to ruin the birthday banquet, wouldn’t it jeopardize Aunt Tang’s promising union?
After walking another few hundred meters, the group arrived at a secluded spot where no one else was to be found.
Seeing this, Master Yongri sneered, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he began to chant an incantation.
Upon arriving at the playground, Wang Long looked toward the rostrum, where several people who appeared to be officials were seated; Wang Long recognized a few as school administrators.
Although Zhao Yanyan’s voice was soft, Han Yang heard it clearly. Naturally, Zhao Yanyan also felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and spoke up to ease the tension.
"I once fought against the Wukong Beast. After failing, I was imprisoned here to help him manage the monitoring network. I have seen everything you have done, and I have helped you hide from the Wukong Beast, preventing him from finding you."
The imperial court must have dispatched several times more troops than usual, for the banners below the mountain were like a vast ocean, and the number of soldiers charging up the slopes was countless.
"Strategist, what exactly is the origin of those demonic beasts? Why are there so many, and why are they so powerful? Why would they help the tyrannical Shang Dynasty?" Tu Xingsun asked Jiang Ziya.
The previous trending topic incident had not satisfied her; now, she wanted to reclaim everything twofold. This was her last shred of dignity, and she could not turn back.
However, the hundred-percent muscle effect lasted only an instant. A-Hui’s body turned red, then dark red, before returning to its normal color. A-Hui collapsed limply onto the bed once more.
Luo Feng followed Ye Zihan toward Mount Kun. After all, Ye Zihan had no sense of direction, and she was completely unfamiliar with the Qiulan Continent. It would be troublesome if she got lost or ran straight into the arms of some formidable power she couldn't afford to provoke.
"Tch," Old Man Tian scoffed with disdain, then sat silently by the doorway, smoking, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Not to mention twenty men, even two hundred or two thousand would mean nothing to him, let alone Ning Fuchen.
Aside from these great generals, other performers sat on the stage, each dressed in the attire of a military commander.
"Yes, I am jealous. I really can't understand why you have such dumb luck, I... sigh." By the end, Teng Yun stopped speaking. There was no point in saying these things now; it would be better to say nothing at all.
Gongsun Long once rode a white horse into the Qin State’s Hangu Pass and spent several months in Xianyang, so he had some understanding of Qin affairs. Unlike the scholars of the six eastern states, who could only guess and imagine the isolated kingdom behind Hangu Pass, picturing the Qin people as barbarians who used skulls as bowls and devoured men without spitting out the bones.
"Sister Xiao, may I sit next to you?" Suddenly, a charming voice rang out from above.
First, the music had to be composed, and Huanyue needed to practice the song; this would take time to perfect, which would inevitably consume some time.
Struck by such a cold remark from Xiao Xiwei, Concubine Zhou felt an unusual tightness in her chest.
However, there was no need for them to jump out. After all, this was the fourth floor—what kind of idiot would jump?
If she wanted to marry Li Qirui, she couldn't afford to offend him too deeply, but she couldn't sacrifice her pride either. Being beaten by Li Qirui made her a laughingstock for Yun Feng, and she hated Li Qirui for giving Yun Feng the satisfaction.
Walking into the courtyard, the sun sank behind the western hills, hiding within the sunset clouds. The half of the sky not dyed red became a sanctuary for the stars. The midsummer breeze blew over Ji Lingsheng, making him feel completely at ease. He went inside, brought out a grandmaster chair, placed it in the open space of the courtyard, and leaned back comfortably.
Returning to the villa, Xia Shiguang cooked herself a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. Qiao Qiao was not there today, and the villa was filled with reminders of Gu Chen.
The old man clearly saw through this, which was why he had made that suggestion later—to hold a family meeting.

Without even looking back, Liu Wuchen used his "Startling Shadow" footwork to leave the spot. Behind him, the man who had attacked him collapsed to the ground with a thud; Liu Wuchen’s strike had severed his throat.
The Blood Demon Hand locked onto the Blood-Drinking Sword, preventing Liu Wuchen from advancing. Leng Wuxue’s lips curled into a triumphant, cold sneer, and his left hand, wreathed in thick malevolence, swept toward Liu Wuchen.
Wang Kang and Lü Kai were also in a panic. Despite having similar numbers, they were no match for the enemy, and both of them were being suppressed by Ahuinan.
"I want you to come back, but what about your company?" During the week Qiao Qiao spent in Country Y, she had witnessed how busy Xia Shiguang was. If she left, wouldn't the newly established company fall apart?
Li Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I have decided to go deep into the Abyssal Sea of Blood ahead to find out what is happening. Will you come with me? If you feel it is too dangerous, you don't have to go."
Just as Li Qingfeng and his group had walked a short distance, a gale suddenly swept through the primeval forest. It was a massive wind, like a tornado, whipping the accumulated snow hundreds of meters into the air.
However, Zhao Bing'er was not convinced by Li Qingfeng, as the two had never sparred. Zhao Bing'er always believed that she would definitely be able to defeat him.
"Hmph, never heard of you! But to dare to misuse the title of the Lord, and to impersonate him, I must kill you. Take my spear!" Zhao Yun’s silver spear flashed as he thrust toward Zhu Tong.
"Sir, here is the menu. Please have a look." The waiter handed him a menu and began to clear away the remnants of the previous meal.
