Risk my own life just to spite you?
A month ago, Si Mianmian had been back at the Si residence for less than a week. It was from that very day that Si Yun clearly realized that the true daughter who had just returned to the family would never look upon her as a sister.
Si Yun had been happy when Si Mianmian was found and brought back; after all, one of Grandma Si’s dying regrets was not having Si Mianmian home. Si Yun had genuinely welcomed her, never intending to compete for anything in the Si family—if not for Si Mianmian, she might not even have had the privilege of being adopted by them. She had always held a heart full of gratitude and sympathy for her. And so, on the day Si Mianmian returned, when she was questioned...
After all, even though Captain Li was dead, General Li had not asked a single question. It seemed the previous incident was merely a coincidence.
If not for the vast reserves of internal energy within his body, Chen Ning and Xiao Yufei would have long since perished together, reduced to dust.
The Emperor’s gesture was merely to soothe the morale of the General’s Mansion, but a reward was better than nothing at all.
The Crown Prince summoned three men with strength comparable to Zhan Hubao into the hall, and the four of them began to spar.
Lin Tao spoke with flowery words, costing him nothing; he downplayed his own strength and bluntly stated he wanted to be a loafer.
"And then?" Chu Yu asked, puzzled, seeing that Shuang Qi seemed to have more to say.
Especially whenever she was dismissed by her family, Xue Yu felt an even more urgent desire to go out and prove herself, to make them see her true capabilities.
Jiang Xuan was shocked and incredulous. He had been very puzzled that he hadn't seen any demonic beasts outside, but he considered it a good thing and didn't dwell on it. Who would have thought that upon entering this place and seeing so many beasts, he would be even more confused?
Then, Tom's soul moved like a gust of wind, drilling into the heart of his seated physical body.
The next morning, her perfect, oval-shaped face, which had been neither too full nor too thin, had swollen into a round, flat disk.
"But surely it must be incredibly difficult for me to break through to the Second Soul stage now?" Raising her hands, she looked at her blood-stained fists and said, her voice heavy with gloom.
Hearing Li Xingchen’s voice, Zhang Lei woke as if from a dream. He looked at Li Xingchen weakly, and the next moment, his emotions began to surge.

Karma said nothing more about this. Since the matter was essentially settled, there was nothing else he could do. Whether Ka Xiu could stand out and become his disciple would depend entirely on himself.
Terauchi Hisaichi took the telegram helplessly and read it carefully. It stated: "I want to see my lover before nine tonight, along with the piece of trash who captured her. You will know the consequences if I don't see them by nine."
The large grave at the end of the village was the same. It first killed several strong young grave robbers to prove its power, then performed a miracle by scaring away a python to save a life, demonstrating its mercy. As a result, it became widely renowned through word of mouth, and people no longer regarded it as an ownerless, lonely tomb.
Just then, a tall figure appeared in the void, silent and motionless.
Gong Liang was shocked to the core. He had never expected that General Yangwu would be led by the nose by the enemy, and that the supposedly impregnable Mang Mountain Camp would be so bizarrely breached.
The duty manager and Li Youzhi both sighed deeply. Since its inception, Yishanyuan had always treated its staff well, and the employees held deep affection for the bank. They truly did not want to see it go bankrupt and close, but unfortunately, this was beyond their control.
Thinking of this, their perception of Lü Tianming changed from previous disgust to curiosity.
That was the Soul-Extinguishing Magic Light, emitted by the true body of a Nether Demon at the Creation Realm. Even if Lü Tianming could ignore this strike thanks to his innate Wujie Spirit Body, Jiang Zichen and the others certainly could not; it was highly likely they would be instantly crippled or even killed outright.
He couldn't break free. Was he just to watch as the Hidden Master’s brainwaves recovered? No, he had to find a way; even if he couldn't break free, stalling for time would be enough.
Inside the carriage, Xi Sa was secretly alarmed. This fellow was a veteran of military service; Bai Moge couldn't bluff him at all. He couldn't help but wonder what trump card he had in store.
Because they feared the loss of spiritual energy, they used these two treasures to contain it; not only would the energy not diminish, but it would also have a nourishing effect.
The medicinal herbs here had been mostly picked clean by local farmers; to find good seeds, one had to go to the wild mountain next door.
Zhou Yunbin had always been robust and strong, and he was very experienced in fighting. Aside from the occasional minor injury that required a hospital visit, he never had any health issues during his check-ups.
This dormitory building was an old-fashioned structure with a corridor right in front of the windows. Because the weather was clear, the young workers gathered in the corridor to chat.
At this moment, he kept a very low profile; as the top official in the town, he had acted quite appropriately.

"Factory Manager, if this vehicle were just a bit bigger, I would drive you straight to Pingjing to save you from having to transfer trains!" After starting the engine, Cui Xiaoguang said with a hint of regret.
This floor housed alchemy formulas, ranging from one to eight patterns, covering all types of pills. There were ones he had seen and ones he hadn't—it was truly all-encompassing.
"For such a major matter, Leader Chen can make the decision." Chen Shandao sensed that he did not intend to refuse. After a modest exchange, he proposed connecting the area of Shanhé Pass city, which spanned three cities.
Changshan City was the provincial capital, famous for its rich nightlife. If one looked back ten or twenty years, the city was actually quite chaotic. With its well-developed tertiary industry, they received quite a few reports related to the entertainment sector, and they made many arrests. However, most cases involving celebrities were transferred to Beijing for handling.
Yang Jian turned around quickly and saw Lin Zishu, who was dressed in casual clothes, her figure graceful and charming.
Liu Chuanfeng hadn't expected last night’s events to escalate so much. He quickly tried to recall the scene in detail.
Li Lulu looked up and saw a hazy figure appearing in her line of sight—a youth, lean and vigorous, with a handsome face that was slightly pale and looked somewhat mature.
Musk had originally intended to use the organizers to stop Su Bai so he could have a proper talk with him.
Wang Peng lay on the ground nearby, clearly severely wounded, yet he still wanted to stand up and pick up his blade to help me. We were currently at a stalemate, unable to gain the upper hand, but this was the territory of the Tyrannosaurus in the Beiguan District, and dragging things out would do us no good.
"Qingqing, did our Lulu really come up with this?" Upon hearing the news, the Emperor’s mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked toward the direction of Li Lulu’s room.
Looking across all of Linchuan, Tianlong Technology could be called the leading electronic technology company.
His heart was filled with excitement and madness, alongside a sense of exhilaration as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world. His body felt filled with infinite power, and he felt no pain at all, despite the cast on his leg.
