When Ruan Tang returned home, Huo Qingqing immediately hugged her lower leg, tilted her head up with bright eyes, and called out, "Auntie!"

Seeing this, Ruan Tang's heart softened. She put down the bags she was carrying, squatted down to stroke the little girl's head, picked her up, rubbed cheeks against hers, and teased, "Did you miss Auntie that much?"

Huo Qingqing turned her head away a bit self-consciously, twisting her fingers, then pushed Ruan Tang with her small hand, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Put me down."

Hearing this, Ruan Tang smiled with pursed lips and set Huo Qing down.

The more curious they became, the more they wanted to know why. Thus, everyone's gaze shifted toward Liu Liwei, Huang Erli, and Li Dong, who were steadily closing in on Yi Xie.

Following that message, three consecutive warnings fully demonstrated the utmost seriousness with which the Ancient Immortal Alliance had issued it.

I patted him on the shoulder, offered a few words of comfort, and didn't take it to heart. However, the fat man's mood seemed affected, as he remained gloomy and didn't speak again.

Or perhaps we should wait until Young Master He wakes up and clarify what happened then, to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Bai Qi lunged forward abruptly, twisting his body violently before it even touched the ground. As his back made contact with the earth, leveraging the astonishing momentum from his sprint, he slid along the ground, tossing three bullets behind him. At the same time, with a flick of his right hand, a red laser pierced straight into the eyes of the adjutant who was taking aim.

Yet when I asked her where she had been for the past six months, she shook her head, unwilling to tell me, saying that once she spoke of it, we might never be able to see each other again.

All the cars had been blown up, and the address was in the suburbs, so Qin Yang had no choice but to take the bus. Along the way, he kept staring at the gift box, wondering what the old man had prepared. The Ao and Song families had arrived days ago and gained the upper hand; if he failed to impress this big figure with a gift, he would truly be defeated.

Blood bubbles instantly welled up in Guan Tiancheng's mouth, accompanied by a terrifying gurgling sound from his throat. Within seconds, he breathed his last. Even in death, Guan Tiancheng's eyes remained unclosed, and his face still wore an expression of profound shock!

"Ning Tao, will you tell me a story about China?" Xue Qian suddenly asked, the previous trace of disappointment vanishing in a flash.

Recalling how he had seen Zuo Jian and Su Shishi chatting and laughing together at the school gate that morning, Mo Yonggang felt increasingly annoyed the more he thought about it, a wave of bitter jealousy rising within him.

Both Qin Xiong and I were quite surprised. Under normal circumstances, Ding Dong would definitely have sought me out first if something came up, but now she had suddenly come to Qin Xiong instead, which left both of us baffled.

"She just told me to bring that Tangshan native back to my house, and then she would wait until dark to go find him..." Maiden Yueer finally revealed the truth about Zhou Lulong.

In the past, I used to sneak glances at Chen Ke's diary, but after she discovered it, she stopped writing. Little did I know, she still kept the habit of journaling. Trying the password from before, I popped Chen Ke's diary open with a snap.

The surrounding Heavenly Demons were scared out of their wits, fleeing in all directions like panicked rats. And then, they were simply gone.

I nodded and kissed her again. Linda is a sensible girl; having her comfort me at a time like this made me feel very warm inside.

At that moment, Damao suggested which nightclub they should go to for some fun. I said to Damao, "Let's go to Gentlemen's Celebrity!" That was the entertainment club owned by Yao Qiang.

Without the need for a round-trip teleportation, when Chen Feng reappeared in the room, he was already holding a man by the collar.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, we went to a roadside food stall for drinks in the evening. I was still wearing glasses and a wig, with two fake moles pasted at the corner of my mouth and eye. If one didn't look closely, even my wife would have had a hard time recognizing me.

"Nonsense! Come inside first!" Chijingzi opened the door and casually lit an oil lamp. The room was meticulously clean, featuring only a bed and a few ragged garments hanging on the wall, completely devoid of tables, chairs, or stools.
