Volume 1, Chapter 28: Better to Shatter Like Jade!

"So, big brother, second brother, I truly do not approve of you keeping such a tight leash on Jiujiu. You are depriving her of the chance to truly get to know her friends, and I believe Jiujiu herself dislikes being treated this way." Su Zimu righteously rebuked his older brothers.

Lan Qianming remained silent, but his gaze stayed fixed behind Su Han, making his stance clear without a doubt.

Tang Hui, sitting beside Fu Xiaoxiao, watched her stare at the dishes Su Zhe had placed in her bowl. The expression on her face made him green with envy. Why did she never look at him like that when he served her food? The more Tang Hui thought about it, the more dejected he felt.

Han Yiran nodded in silence; his mind was a tangled mess, and he needed a moment to think things through properly.

Since the goal was to rescue someone, then... just agreeing to everything would be fine. Even if a show of resistance was needed for the sake of realism, a token gesture would suffice. Did they really have to be so serious and act so convincingly?

Once the food and wine were served, Jiang Feng and Wu Zixuan each shared a drink with Chen Feng, declaring their intention to befriend him, and they exchanged phone numbers.

Zhan Qing wanted to kiss her, but remembering Xi Qiao’s warning that the baby had just been born and shouldn't be kissed, he held back.

Yet, Zong Che had forgotten the fact that it was he who had secretly gotten An Xiangwan pregnant and brought Guagua into the world.

Daniel brushed past Jia San, but perhaps because Jia San was dressed in warrior attire, he ignored him entirely, instead casting a few extra glances at Raynor.

Tang Yilin tapped her chin with one finger, refusing to answer his question directly.

Zhang Hao didn't need to think twice to be certain that when this incense burner was intact, it had definitely been a celestial artifact, and one of a high grade at that.

Dunzi nodded, turned around, and tapped a few keys on his keyboard; Kathy’s stylish and beautiful face appeared on the large screen.

Just as Zhang Hao stored the Earth Yellow Essence into his storage bag, two figures came flying over.

As he spoke, Qing Ji licked his lips, a savage grin appearing on his face. With a swoosh, he appeared before the Lizard Locust Beast.

The private room here was small but exceptionally secure, as this location served as an intelligence relay station for the Red Pavilion, making it a very safe place for a meeting.

"It’s him, it’s Lu San! It was Lu San who drove the Immortal Grass Sect away!" a sharp-eyed man shouted aloud.

At that moment, the Old Immortal ordered his men to charge at the opposition as well; regardless of which faction they belonged to, all became targets for the Old Immortal.

A sharp glint flashed in Mu Shi’s eyes as he wrapped his arms around Lin Xiu’s lean waist and hoisted him up abruptly.

"Great Elder, let us put the matter of Ji’er aside for now. Even if he has joined a major sect in the Great Yu Imperial Capital, minor disputes here in Shanyin County should still be handled by us. We must not let him be distracted, or it will hinder his progress in the martial path."

Hearing Xie Yukun’s words, Lin Jun thought to himself: This old man is far too shrewd. He wants me to attend the auction on his behalf, yet he won't give me any silver. It seems he still doesn't trust me and is guarding against me at every turn.

Princess Yue Qing could not imagine anyone else in this world who would be willing to do this, other than the sister she hadn't seen for many years, Yue Ling’er, who stood before her.

Watching Long Xuan leave, Gu Yuan didn't give it much thought; a beggar was merely an ant in their eyes.

Daoist Ming He began his breakthrough, his aura growing increasingly formidable as he severed his obsession-corpse to become a Three-Corpse Quasi-Saint.

Nangong Qicai’s expression was grim. She held Sheng Lan, stroking her pale cheeks with great heartache. She brushed the hair away from Sheng Lan’s face, revealing those stunning features. She stared, captivated, and smiled with relief.

Profile: The second of the Chaos Gods and Demons, born with control over the Great Dao of Fate, capable of knowing the future and reversing the past and present.

Seeing Xu Huang looking thoughtful, Cao Zhen continued his analysis: "Guan Yu’s retreat seems orderly and composed, but I believe it is actually a ruse to cover something up."

"Li Mingyou, is this yours?" After seeing clearly what Teacher Zhou was holding, Keyu turned to ask Li Mingyou, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.

However, the only thing that had changed was that she had become better at hiding her emotions and no longer expressed them easily.

Ye Qiu’s expression tightened; a sense of having met a kindred spirit stirred in his heart. This was the first time he had met someone who understood his true intentions so well.

Wen Yi offered a pale smile in his arms. If she could buy herself half a year, that would be enough. Looking at her current condition, half a year was likely all she had left.

Hearing these words, the new recruits broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at Yi Feng’s smile, they suddenly felt it was terrifying.

"If this continues, we will be exhausted to death sooner or later," Angela said gravely. There were too many magic creatures here; no matter how many they killed, they never stopped coming.

The first to enter the arena was not necessarily the strongest among the six contestants; he was simply the champion of the first preliminary round.

The remaining ten thousand soldiers panicked, pinning all their hopes on Angela, who was at the front.

Tonight, that bar must be visited; such corrupt practices must be stopped as soon as possible, or who knows what will happen in the future?

Most importantly, Shen Hui was the only normal human in the world who knew Wang Ge’s secret.

Finally, noon arrived and the machines stopped. Chen Qiu Shan flopped onto the ground, not caring that he was surrounded by mud. Covered in dust and grime from head to toe, he no longer looked like a student. People nearby laughed heartily, saying that this was what it looked like to do real work.

"Child, I am not a policeman. I am a doctor." Song Ping'an walked slowly toward the boy, stopped about five meters away, and sat down at a desk.

"Oh!" Liu felt surprised that her mother-in-law had agreed to her suggestion without a second thought. She felt valued and happy, though she slightly restrained her smile on the surface.
