Volume 1, Chapter 48: Want to Go to a Hotel Room with Me?

Emerging from the delayed elevator, Nie Xingyan’s face was as red as dripping blood.

"I really never expected this damn forest to be so huge. Even running through it takes days," Liang Yin panted, utterly exhausted. Their clothes were tattered and full of holes from the battles they had been forced to fight along the way and the branches that had scraped against them while running. They looked just like famine refugees fleeing a disaster.

A letter arrived from Qingfeng, stating that he had camped not far from the capital and would enter the city tomorrow to see her.

Meanwhile, the Heaven-Covering Demon Sect, the three major families, and various ambitious sects had all surrounded the Black Xuan Grand Hall, eager to contend for the Star-Refining Battlefield.

Consequently, Shamowen surrendered his military command, and all his subordinate soldiers were converted into officials, to be reorganized by the Shu army. His jurisdiction was also obediently handed over, to be unified and governed henceforth by the Liangzhou prefecture restructured by Zhu Nao.

Leng Yu listened to the Fourteenth Prince anxiously shouting outside to see His Imperial Majesty, a cold smile forming in her heart. It seemed Consort De intended to present a fait accompli—first having Kangxi issue an imperial decree granting the marriage, and then playing the role of a loving mother before the Fourteenth Prince. Yet, she had never expected the news to leak.

The squad leader of the soldiers was visibly taken aback by this sudden and abrupt change in attitude, but this was no longer the time to dawdle or waste time joking around. Without any intention of questioning the matter, the soldier leader returned a simple, polite salute and then made a "please" gesture, signaling for them to get into the carriage.

"Mother, we don't have the ingredients at home to recreate that taste," Luo Xi confessed frankly. The ingredients over there were specially customized by someone else, and combined with her own unique recipe, the resulting flavor was one of a kind. She could only make it by going to that specific restaurant.

Gongsun Jing was startled and looked toward Lin Hanxi, whose gaze shifted to Nuan Yu's face instead. She watched as the smile on Nuan Yu's face gradually widened, eventually blossoming into hearty laughter.

"Xier, you must be exhausted today, right?" he spoke, his voice rich, mellow, and gentle, yet carrying an unmistakable trace of concern.

"I found out before you went missing. I originally planned to settle Shuang'er in and return to my quarters to tell you everything, but I never expected..." Yi Yuefeng cursed himself for being too soft-hearted. Shuang'er had clung to him, and he hadn't the heart to refuse her. He had chatted with her for far too long, thus missing the hour, never anticipating that Lin Hanxi would wake up much earlier than he had anticipated.

Messi received the ball in the frontcourt, only to find himself surrounded by four Atletico Madrid players. As he attempted to pass to Iniesta, the ball was intercepted midway, and Atletico Madrid smoothly launched a counterattack.

Even though he was now in perfect sync with the Lunar Wings, allowing him to fly freely through the sky, slaying that crimson-winged Ghost Valley Wing-Envoy remained far too difficult.

Only then did Yang Huan recall hearing that Qatar's acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain was precisely because they wanted to break into the French media industry.

Things influence each other mutually; Qin Shaoyou's confidence infected them, and their strength in turn added an extra layer of confidence to Qin Shaoyou.

Long Yu casually slaughtered these muddy exotic beasts. Connecting this to all the phenomena he had witnessed since stepping into the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Pagoda, a sudden thought struck his mind—could this Dragon Skeleton Ancient Pagoda possibly be a prison used to detain exotic beasts?

Of the remaining twenty-three divine bridges, twenty-one soared up into the sky, vanished into the void, and disappeared completely, leaving only two divine bridges behind in their original places.
