Were those secret guards truly placed there just to keep her under house arrest, or were they meant to protect her? She turned away in annoyance, telling herself not to think about it, not to dwell on it, yet her mind insisted on wandering.
This was her first kiss. Though it was merely a touch of lips, to Ling Baolu, it was a first kiss—a first kiss of profound significance.
"Old Four, stop crying. Tell me, who was it?" Pan Shizi handed Lin Feng a blue cloth to wipe his tears, then turned and shouted at the disciples. Having never faced such a grand and terrifying scene, the disciples felt their legs turn to jelly.
Yet, the alcohol of the Great Tang seemed to be ten times stronger than that of Rome. The plump Tang official managed to hold on just long enough to promise that the people would be allowed to set sail on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of Qin Qiong approaching with a cup in hand, he collapsed spectacularly to the floor.
"Alright, I understand!" Ling Xi nodded, signaling his agreement to come and pick up Lian Rong for his home.
"Nanny Qiao, tell me, should I make use of Imperial Concubine Liangshu or not?" Seeing Nanny Qiao stealing glances at her from time to time, the Empress naturally understood what she was thinking. A faint smile touched her lips as she asked her softly.
"Mo Yinhan is slightly stronger than me. Had we engaged in a reckless battle, perhaps it would not have come to this. But to prevent it from obtaining the Purple Aura, I must stand here; I cannot retreat a single step." Xu cursed his luck.
At a distance of only thirty paces, the Great Tang’s steel crossbows could pierce two men not wearing armor. Just as Wood prepared to order an attack, the Duke of Edinburgh lost his nerve.
None of the Great Wei royal family were any good; Xiao Jingwu was like that, and so was Xiao Yingzhe.
Wesley did not show weakness either. He drew his weapon, the Seven-Star Slash, and pulverized a White Warrior into meat paste, signaling the beginning of his fierce battle.
The golden duo of Qiao Mengqing and Xiang You had become popular across the country. Years of collaboration had forged an incredible rapport between them, keeping the ratings of their variety show, Entertainment Recap, firmly in the top three.
Nannan kissed the old lady on the cheek with a loud smack, making the old lady so happy she could barely close her mouth.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Naturally, everyone heard the discordant noise and could not help but raise their heads in unison to look toward the source.
Though his physical prowess was not what it once was, it was recovering day by day, still remaining stronger than most.

Seeing his emotions fluctuate again, with veins bulging on his exposed hands, Lin Zhi hurriedly patted his back to comfort him.
Duoduo was in the middle of class at school when Lin Yongxiang suddenly stormed into the classroom. Ignoring the teacher who was still lecturing, she marched right up to Duoduo, ready to slap her.
Damn it... This woman was brazenly seducing her Mr. Gu right in front of her! Hehe... Shen Shu’s mouth twisted in anger. She coughed quite dissatisfiedly to signal her presence, but the person in question was staring intently at Gu Zhenyu, completely oblivious to her cough.
Hua Ling was a bit confused. Even if he were the one tasked with gathering information, he would never have exposed his identity to the target.
He must never have any entanglement with Young Master Huaxu, regardless of whether he liked him or what kind of feelings the young master held for him.
Chen Mo was very clear about this; everything now was merely an illusion. The city of Juhaicheng was like a balloon constantly inflating.
Pei Fumou smiled without a word, raising a glass wine cup. His wrists hung loosely, and even such a reckless posture revealed a natural nobility.
Yet, she could never feel like a wife to him. She could not figure out where the problem lay.
The issue of many young players being unable to stop once they started running was not visible in them at all.
Days passed, and Pei Fumou spent almost every day at the Left Army Office, so busy he never stopped to rest. Jiang Xuqing truly had no opportunity to approach him.
However, Mo Tongsheng’s look of surprise lasted only for an instant. A moment later, a faint smile appeared on his face. A massive magic seal manifested over the giant gate, its white light nearly drowning everyone present. A shadow flew backward; beneath the darkness, nothing could remain hidden.
Yet, when that girl was with him, she always held reservations about intimacy. No matter how he guided or comforted her, she stubbornly guarded that final line of defense, leaving him feeling incredibly frustrated.
"Is that so?" Bai Lang felt a bit dazed. Yang Xiu must be referring to the surge of vitality brought about by the leap in his life level after his breakthrough. It should be overflowing in the short term, but it would likely settle down after some time.
Madame Qiao also understood. It wasn't that Feng Ying and her sister-in-law lacked manners; they knew the other party was an enemy and were intentionally making things difficult.

Before long, Qiao Nan’s dissatisfied grumbling could be heard, and then, a wilted-looking Qiao Nan was dragged out by Yang Anning.
Yang Anning’s body shuddered as she slowly turned around. On her beautiful face, there was a look of confusion, mixed with a three-part resolution to accept being bullied with quiet resignation.
Therefore, Si Lang did not answer, and Shi Jinyan understood perfectly well. Besides, he had never intended to marry Si Lang.
If all went according to plan, Qi Yundong intended to build the second toll station on this end of the Dark Moon Continent.
Seeing countless energies engulfing Sun Wukong, ready to tear him apart in the next moment, Yunming cast the Zhong Kui technique, [Underworld Power Infusion: Chain of Annihilation], to pull Sun Wukong back.
However, they suddenly understood one truth: Ye Feng Huai was different from the other B-rank individuals.
Lu Yuan was already unconscious from a high fever; she was not someone Chen Bingyun could wake up just by calling.
"What kind of skill is needed for this? Just eat it; it’s only a snack." It seemed that in her desperation to pin the blame on herself, she had spoken without thinking.
Once Shi Qinghuan returned to her own house, her mood improved significantly. The dark clouds on her face vanished, replaced by a bright, sunny smile.
Zhao Lie crawled up gloomily. Over this period, he had suffered several nightmares, in which the hideous faces of thugs and rioters intertwined, making it hard for him to distinguish whether he was in the modern or ancient world. It seemed the effects of his transmigration still lingered.
