Chapter 37

No matter how well Zongzheng Jin treated her, it was ultimately because she was reciprocating with equal devotion. If one day she were to cease being the person he imagined her to be, she feared this affection would reach its end.

Seeing that Ziye and the Old Empress had remained silent for so long, she felt uneasy and hurried over to check on them.

I could no longer hold back and tore the ribbon from my body. In my excitement, I exerted too much force, ripping off my vest along with it. Only then did I snatch off the blindfold.

"I still feel that the Fifth Prince has not been entirely honest with me. How are we to continue our cooperation in the future?"

The resentment toward the wealthy is a sentiment found throughout history and across cultures; likewise, sympathy for the weak is a feeling inherent to every ordinary person.

Imagining the scene of Ziye swinging a blade to hack him to pieces, Li Zixuan subconsciously gulped.

However... as Paul exerted strength to pull his arm back, he felt as though his wrist had been welded to an iron pillar; it remained absolutely immovable.

"I will not let you suffer this grievance in vain," he said. This single explanation was a rarity, and he offered nothing more.

Meng Xian was the one who called Lu Zhanke away. Lu Zhanke had suddenly spoken to him last night about import and export business. Fearing that delays might lead to complications, Meng Xian called over the other partner early in the morning to discuss the specific details.

No matter how dexterous the staff member was, it was impossible to bypass a high-security system in just three seconds. After Dr. Chen waited in agony for another twelve seconds, the alarm finally came to an abrupt halt.

Watching this scene, Qing Ji did not urge Huachen to depart. Instead, a smile appeared on his stern face as he looked at Huachen and Ziyu, much like an elder brother observing a younger brother and his wife.

Monsters brought indescribable changes to the world, yet the mastermind behind it all, Li Qingchen, was awakened from his secret chamber by Hannibal Zhou.

A thunderous roar shattered the silence of the night. Soil and sand, mingled with flesh and blood, rained down upon the earth. On the hillside, countless loosened rocks were shaken by the roar and came tumbling down with a deafening rumble, only stopping once the smoke and dust had cleared.

"Weiwei, how did you know?" Luo Linqi asked. She felt the aquarium was delightful; here, one could see many marine creatures and perhaps explore the ocean world—it was quite an experience.

Whether it was out of immense wealth or simply utilizing the local resources for convenience, Huachen found the "artificial lake" in Xinjing City to be quite impressive.

The one-armed young man said, "I just happened to know. I am merely someone who dislikes seeing others use their strength to bully the weak. Perhaps when you play your final trump card, I might also come to deal with you. I hope that your trump card is not the beginning of your own destruction." With that, the one-armed young man left the great hall and vanished into the night.

It is difficult to leave one's homeland, and Li Kan surely felt the pull of his roots. Yet, burdened with heavy responsibilities, he departed overnight.

Huachen had long anticipated that Qing Ji would agree to this approach. After all, when sending word back to Gusu, Huachen had Shaozheng Kong frankly inform Qing Ji that he was currently at a dead end here, so rather than wasting time, it was better to follow the lead of the Yue State and see where it would go.

This remark did not sound like something a military general would say, and soon after, the father and son began to quarrel.

"Manager Xiao is right. If we use these charges to deal with him, we are acting perfectly within our rights," Li Weiguo immediately chimed in.

Last time, after Li Heng had dealings with Zhao Huang, he had sent people to investigate her background—not out of malice, but simply as a businessman seeking to understand his partners.

Inside the shop stood two large hand-painted posters. One depicted a popsicle in the shape of a face wearing a top hat; the composition was simple yet extremely adorable, making it look delicious at first glance.

The villa was located in a somewhat remote area, at a secluded bend, where the car suddenly came to a stop.

He asked softly outside the tent, "Mr. Shen? I wonder if you are awake!" He knew there was a major operation today, but he was not entirely clear on the specifics. Since orders had come from above, as subordinates, they would simply execute them diligently.

In fact, the window was within arm's reach—it was just a tiny distance in front of him, so incredibly close. In the past, he could have touched it with a single step, but now, it felt as far away as the horizon. No matter how much effort Qiao Zheng-yu exerted, it always remained just out of reach.

Placing the paper into the box, Zhang Ze began to close his eyes and rest. Although he had been on this bumpy journey for a long time, he still had not grown accustomed to it.

He dared not delay in the slightest. After fishing out a bottle of medication, he hurriedly checked the instructions with a heavy heart. He had not expected the words "relief for heart failure" to strike his heart like a hammer, leaving him breathless.

With such a grand scale this time, a battle involving about eight thousand people—though fewer than the wars of ancient China—was perfect for practice! He felt no shame; they were indifferent to their own lives, so there was no need for him to play the fool.

Upon her return, Zhou Yuyan saw the three girls munching away at the wrapped duck with savory sauce. There is nothing in this world better than food! Although she felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, she did not notice the pity and uneasy hints in the eyes of two of her classmates as they looked at her.

Chu Ye did not want to continue resting and become lazy, so he took Gastly and Ditto to the park for a few laps and some warm-up exercises.

Xue Yunxue sighed. They could have escaped, but who would have known that a teammate's mistake would teleport them back into the insect hive.

Other than that, there was nothing to worry about. The other abilities could be considered newly activated latent extraordinary genes; regardless, since he lacked a genetic pedigree, no one could tell they were fake.

Although Su Nian did not want this fellow to get his way, his low, resonant voice truly made it difficult for her to maintain her so-called rationality.

The leather shoe that had been stepping on her fingers finally pulled away. Her hands, once clean and pretty, were now filthy and abraded. Sun Shasha looked at her hands with heartache and shed tears in silence.

The Heavenly Dao established by the Dao Venerable, and the laws he laid down, had indeed protected the world for 100,000 years, but it had also constrained everyone.
