It was truly fortunate that the brown-haired curlyhead knew nothing of these matters. Otherwise, he might not merely have gone mad and babbled incoherently; he might even have vomited blood and died on the spot.

“This humble monk mentioned earlier that, during this eastern expedition, when His Majesty the Great Heavenly Khan attacked the cities of Goguryeo, he used a most wondrous weapon—a black earthen jar that exploded when set alight, its roar like thunder from the Ninth Heaven, its power enough to level mountains and split the earth. This humble monk would like to ask: what exactly is it?” Daozhao stared at Li Su with eager anticipation.

Surely Yuzu Kitano would not shout quite so loudly. Someone like her, who came to a nightclub wearing a school uniform and even openly worked on her homework there, would really care whether her voice was too loud?

Feeling the softness of Bi Fang’s body against him, his fair and delicate face flushed crimson. He struggled awkwardly like a trapped beast, trying to escape the embarrassing situation.

With only a single second of attack, the Cosmic United Fleet, which had completed its advance, transformed once more under Gao Chuan’s will.

In particular, an item within the system called Accelerated System Repair filled him with astonishment. He had never seen anything like it before. Even his own perception could not determine what it was, as though it were nothing more than pure emptiness.

What was more, she had always possessed an innate sense of superiority before Lin Huiyin. Yet at this moment, her fragile pride lay shattered across the floor.

This view received widespread support from the powerful figures present. They nodded one after another, and among the guards accompanying them, some also noticed the problem and began taking organized action.

Perhaps as her memories returned, the originally hazy recollections gradually became clear. The scene from that time appeared directly in her mind, and she smiled so broadly that her eyes narrowed with delight.

After all, if one truly owed someone a debt and that person suddenly confronted them about it, would one’s first thought not be that a friend had betrayed them?

In fact, he knew what the hidden purpose was. The two continued laughing heartily, and eventually returned to the heart of the matter.

Unexpectedly, in the end, only he remained—alone. Even his disciple Wei Wu had lost both family and home. Ji could not help being overcome with grief, and choking back sobs, he told Dong Zhongshu the whole story.

Several years earlier, it had been her beautiful appearance—her long hair reaching her waist and her graceful bearing—that had instantly caught the general’s eye.

After returning to the construction site, Ding Guibao kept his mouth firmly shut and did not reveal the slightest detail about the “inside story” of his haircut to anyone. Even after he returned home that evening, he said not a word about it to Yao Ling, as though the matter had never happened at all.

Master Kucheng may have found Zhu Xiawu’s overly sentimental performance unbearable, and so he interrupted the master-and-disciple melodrama in which Zhu Xiawu was starring.

What was more, these feudal nations, still using cattle, horses, and gold coins, were waging war over which sun to worship.

When Xie Yan first heard the rumor, he thought Deng Shen had lost his mind. How else could he have come up with such a tiresome scheme to maliciously slander him?

Before Mother had even finished making the matter of the exchanged marriage clear, Ding Sumei could no longer restrain herself. Her face flushed, her veins bulged, and fury blazed in her eyes.

“We came to demand an explanation from him, and he actually tried to drive us away. This An Shigeng is certainly up to no good.”

“What Uncle Zhi says is absolutely right. Since that is the case, we naturally must not be negligent. Wei Wuji, I command you to take full charge of this matter. Be sure to receive the guests from every faction properly, and do not let Chen lose face.” Before Wei Wuji could object, Chen Baxian settled the matter with a single pronouncement.

Few people knew that Xiao Tiancheng had returned to Luoyang, much less that he had gone to the residence of the Marquis of Zhongli after coming back.

“Uh… could you learn to cook from now on?” Cao Peng no longer wanted merely to escape washing dishes. He was already sick of cooking as well.

Years later, whenever Qi Zhi thought back to this day, she had only one thought: If only she could have died the day before.

The Superior of the Yin Moon withdrew her silver whip and listened carefully. All she could hear was the faint trembling of the weapons covering the mountainside as the mountain wind stirred them. The Bewitching Immortal Sword had finally fallen silent, and only then did she relax.

Yu Chimia flashed in front of Ni Duoshi and shielded him, shouting, “What are you trying to do?” Fear and panic filled her expression. She had come here with Ni Duoshi, and along the way he had saved her life several times. Now that she saw him in danger, how could she possibly stand by and do nothing?

Feng Yuerong suddenly grew angry and directly ordered Chu Feng to eat all the breakfast she had prepared. Chu Feng was startled by her abrupt change of mood and looked utterly bewildered.

As they spoke, Cao Peng suddenly felt an overwhelmingly powerful sense of danger. He could even sense something beneath the ground, something that made his heart race and his thoughts grow restless, as though it were about to devour him.

A faint smile rested on the face of the renowned beauty Red Sleeve. The smile made Jiang Feiyu’s heart tremble. Seeing that she seemed to be walking toward him, he immediately sat upright and raised his head in reverence.

“A sacred object? What sort of sacred object should that be?” Feng Yuerong looked at the Soul-Eating Pearl in her hand, uncertain how best to deal with it.

The old woman said nothing. She could not determine the depths of Lan Bingyue’s cultivation, nor could she predict the outcome if she attacked. How could she dare act rashly?

Xu Ruyan had not fallen from the cliff because of speeding. Yujin found this rather curious. Would the ghost that first appeared on the game disc still be Xu Ruyan?

The Thousand-Year One of this world occupied a rather peculiar place after death. As a result, others could see the Thousand-Year One’s remains in this world, but the only person who could bring those remains out was Yang Shan.

She had blossomed more fully than before. Her features were finer, her complexion rosier, and when she smiled, her brows and eyes curved like crescents, making people unable to resist the urge to kiss her.

That evening, Jiang Xiufan had an engagement and did not return home. By the time he arrived, it was already past eight. He had just come back from a dinner gathering and carried the faint smell of tobacco and alcohol on him—a scent that even he disliked.

Li Tian drove the carriage behind him and stopped at the entrance. Only after the man in red had entered the estate did she leap down from the carriage.

“This is…” Fang Jingyuan gazed at the courtyard from a distance. Apart from the great demon in the Primordial Spirit Realm who had just entered, he sensed another aura of the same realm—Duming’s.
