45 Peach Mochi Ice

Actually, it was nothing all that significant. It was simply that Bai Baolin realized Consort Xin never really regarded her, Bai Xing, as anyone of importance, nor would Consort Xin help her at a critical juncture. In fact, Consort Xin might even push her out to act as a scapegoat. Having arrived at this realization, Bai Xing distanced herself from Consort Xin.

Li Yu felt he had already fled far enough, but the violent shockwave of the explosion affected even the stability of space itself. Unable to use teleportation under such conditions, he began to run backward in a disheveled and frantic manner, cursing the deceased Tyrannosaurus rex from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha... Gentlemen, none of you shall leave today. Stay and partake in this grand feast together, and listen quietly to the auspicious tidings." Zhu Chenhao clearly was in high spirits as he sought to detain everyone.

"Brother Lu, bringing us here today surely means there is a matter at hand. Since we are brothers of the same fold, speak your mind directly. Given this posture, I, Li Fu, truly dare not drink this wine anymore," said a pale, beardless man among the five, setting down his wine cup.

Upon seeing Brent arrive with a thousand soldiers and police officers, Li Yu was also extremely astonished.

"Unrighteous wealth and status are to me as floating clouds. Brother Li, what kind of person do you take your brother to be?" Tang Bohu wore a look of profound inscrutability.

Amidst these words, the Controller's voice carried a trace of undeniable authority, with surging killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.

Therefore, upon reaching the vicinity of Huangqiao, Lin Bin had all the players who had not yet learned the mastery of the powerful bow learn it immediately, and both he and Su Qian also mastered a set.

A cold wind swept past, stirring Qin Ge's dark hair and fluttering the red tassel at the tip of the missing-moon spear. The tassel danced in the wind, as if eager to ride the gale and depart.

"Not at all, not at all. It is merely a piece of production equipment. I believe other steel enterprises have similarly acquired quite advanced machinery as well!" Lin Tian shook his head and said modestly.

Shen Xuening paid the bill, then went with Liu Juan to rendezvous with Shen Dong, and the three of them walked home.

The village chief was somewhat tight-fisted. His own household lived comfortably and had money, yet he remained quite guarded against outsiders—something that could be discerned from a mere glance at his courtyard.

Yet, when Su Taotao saw the bruises adorning her arms, the images of Fu Zhengtu kissing every inch of her body yesterday rushed back to her mind, and she still could not help blushing. Her skin, delicate and tender as peeled porcelain, was so fair and soft that the slightest touch left a mark, prompting Su Taotao to mentally curse Fu Zhengtu for acting less than human.

He had originally thought the commanding general of this army would be a fierce and formidable brute, but he had never expected the counterpart to be so young, barely older than himself.

President Lü was, after all, a master at digging pits and filling them back in, and he devised a solution within an extremely short span of time.

Yet he, Chen Chang'an, had no wish to owe human favors, nor did he want to let Wang Yuyan walk the path laid out for her in the original tale.

Meanwhile, the tavernkeeper nearby, witnessing all of this, took advantage of the moment when everyone was not paying attention to slip away helplessly through the back door.

Gu Dashu returned the fifty taels of silver to her the moment he stepped through the door. She had originally thought her demand to have her mother's and father's memorial tablets placed side by side would deter Tong Huaqiong, and she had even inwardly cursed Tong Huaqiong for being vicious and disregarding her grandson's life just to spite her deceased mother.

Liu Yue'e held Yaozu's hand, venting her anger over her mother-in-law's malicious intentions while asking her elder sister to borrow money.

Along the way, Cai Yong was exceptionally courteous, taking the initiative to lead the path. Chen Tingyu and the others followed with curled lips; in broad daylight under the bright, clear sky, they simply did not believe Cai Yong would dare play any tricks.

Huang Hun's gaze was profound as a crescent-blade dagger materialized in his hand. Holding the gloomy, heavy crescent blade like the scythe of the Grim Death in his right hand, and wearing a skull-shaped ring on his left hand that wrapped his entire arm in fluctuating energy, he clenched his iron fist tightly, making the lethal potential of that punch readily apparent.

After describing the situation in greater detail, Seigetsu Sei put away his phone without dwelling on it too much.

His spirituality was burning, and under Seigetsu Sei's control, the gentle power within the amulet transformed into a miniature esoteric ritual, thereby summoning the power of moonlight to catalyze healing abilities.

Aside from those three secretly monitoring him, there were more than a dozen others openly intimidating him—namely, those dozen or so martial artists whom Xia Po had casually obliterated in an instant.

Smokes and alcohol were placed on the table, and the orderly uncorked the bottle of Wuliangye, filled a cup for each of the three men, and then withdrew to the kitchen to have his meal.

Just as the long sword wreathed in a black hurricane was about to slash down toward me, a streak of blood-red light suddenly plummeted from the sky. Following that, with a crisp snap, a strange sword blade glowing with a crimson light descended from the heavens and drove straight into the rock. The hilt trembled, emitting a clear and resonant hum.

With these thoughts, Futu grew terribly impatient, grabbed Burnice feather, and bolted toward the second gate. However, at this moment, the second gate had unexpectedly already closed.

Rather than pursuing flamboyant visual effects, he sought to conceal all effects entirely, ideally casting them right in front of others without anyone even realizing he was the one pulling the strings.

Lü Erniang had originally assumed that Song Yuan's nephew, Huo Qingsong, had arrived, so Song Yuan would certainly accompany his nephew. To her surprise, Song Yuan still remembered his previous promise to accompany Lü Hong to Jiangling Prefecture to check the examination results. Faced with such enthusiasm from Song Yuan, Lü Erniang was genuinely at a loss for what to do.

Hu Xiyuan was pacing back and forth here in great anxiety. When he finally saw Tiansheng appear, he hurriedly went to greet him. However, after taking just two steps and catching a clear sight of the expressionless figure beside Tiansheng, he froze with wide-open eyes.

Zhao Hao's strength went without saying; by the time his second album was released, media outlets were already hyping him up as the new generation's rock king of the mainland.

Ning Hao recalled the days of running everywhere in search of investment only to bang his head against brick walls, and a sour feeling rose in his nose. Fortunately, though, he later crossed paths with Zhao Hao.

With that, Xuan Yinzi turned around, presented his back to the three of them, knelt halfway on the ground, closed his eyes, and muttered something under his breath.
