Volume 1, Chapter 43: There Really Is One

When I told Zhang Xinmiao and Feng Tangwei, Zhang Xinmiao felt a bit sympathetic. Even Feng Tangwei said I had gone too far. I chuckled and told them it was actually a fake; those were just ordinary ice cubes. How could I possibly conjure such a formidable time bomb? My ability is ice control, not pyrotechnics.

The vixen was in her room applying a face mask, looking quite spirited. I subconsciously glanced at her feet... she was wearing the hotel’s disposable cotton slippers.

On the day of the marriage proposal, Yao Yuan had presented his past through a stage play, revealing almost everything—except for this specific romantic experience and the torment he was enduring internally, about which he remained silent toward me.

When a sister of many years turns into a murderer, even the most cold-hearted person would find it difficult to bear.

With that, I took out a long list and unfolded it before him. He had great composure, but a glimmer of anger rose in his eyes.

Furthermore, having seen yesterday that Luke seemed to have had the sprites excavate another massive space beneath the water intake, Fusang always felt that what Luke intended to do was something they would rather not see.

Successive emperors traveled to Mount Tai to perform the Feng and Shan sacrifices, holding the deity of Mount Tai in high reverence. In the Tang Dynasty, the Mount Tai deity was titled "King of the Heavenly Equinox." During the Song Dynasty, this was elevated to "Benevolent Saint King of the Heavenly Equinox" and "Heavenly Equinox Benevolent Saint Emperor." The Yuan Dynasty added the title "Heavenly Equinox Great Life Benevolent Saint Emperor," and the Ming Dynasty reverted it to the "Deity of Mount Tai of the Eastern Peak."

The big cat spat out half a chicken foot with a look of grievance, its eyes darting greedily toward the pots of delicacies on the floor.

I went over to look and saw it was the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. He was sitting in the backseat, scared out of his wits, but he was not dead.

Even with a physique like Liu Ming’s, he was exhausted after being tossed about all morning. He finally managed to hold out until mealtime, devouring the breakfast on the table like a whirlwind.

Qi Aotian was undoubtedly the winner of this resource explosion; he had precisely chosen the most suitable path and decisively abandoned the wheat fields.

The Eldest Princess wept as she listened. She reached out and grabbed the Prince of Jin’s hand, wanting to offer silent comfort, only to find that his hand was trembling violently.

Seeing eyes filled only with worry and fear rather than repentance, how could Xu Xiangqing not know that Xu Lian’s words were insincere and merely forced by the situation? However, Xu Xiangqing was no angel meant to save souls; as long as Xu Lian didn’t cause trouble in the future, it was enough.

The monster retreated instinctively when it saw the giant that had suddenly appeared, which was as tall as itself.

Tiga was caught off guard and fell again, but he stood up shortly after, watching the monster in silence. Given the monster’s raw strength and immense weight, Daigo had already made a decision in his heart.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward abruptly and flashed into the palace. Within this extremely brief, almost negligible interval, the scene inside naturally followed.

It was no wonder they had such thoughts, for when Huang Jinli was speaking, he had unconsciously said "mine" instead of "my family's."

Ye Tian stood in place, holding Zheng Xin'er’s hand, watching Luo Li and the others walk away. However, Ye Tian could tell they were heading toward the dormitory.

Being able to follow Brother Dong was naturally what everyone dreamed of. But now was not the time to visit Huang Jinli in South Korea; they had other matters to attend to.

Lina looked at the giant screen in the GUTS command room, which showed the spaceship her father, Nanase, was aboard, flying into space once again. Just like her father before, he was busy with his work for the sake of humanity.

But this time, having just been released from prison, he had forgotten about this matter due to the sheer number of things on his mind.

Along the way, the man’s face was as cold as water; he did not speak a word, and his entire being radiated an aloofness and pressure that warned others to keep their distance.

There were stalls selling sugar paintings at the Lantern Festival, and Liu Chunhua had seen semi-transparent lanterns that looked a bit like this, so she was quite certain in her guess.

Shen Sui pushed the door open and saw her hair tied loosely at the back of her head; she had changed into a set of sportswear.

He immediately concluded that this must have been Su Lianyi’s arrangement, and he grew excited at once.

In fact, as far as Jiang Yijiu was concerned, she was more than happy to have him hold her hand. That way, she could soak up some of the big shot’s golden aura.

The creditors’ expressions shifted instantly; they bared their fangs, pointing at Chu Ye and hurling harsh insults.

Although Annie was beautiful and came from a good family, she had a fiery temper. In Tao Zhuo’s eyes, she was nothing more than a vase, incomparable to Jiang Qiao.

"A-Tu, do you think we should keep collecting in Luodong Town, or head to Meilin Town?" Chu Ye asked the local dog in the bike basket.

Chen Xingbing wanted nothing more than to take a knife to the dog, but Chu Ye certainly wouldn't allow it. The more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, so he changed the subject, asking Chu Ye if he had gained anything from visiting the half-blind Liu.

"Ruihua, it was only today that I learned your company’s spokesperson is actually an artist under Manager Shen’s agency." In front of Duan Ruihua, Ou Mufei’s voice lost its sharpness and malice, sounding soft and very gentle. However, to Maya and Ye Zijun, it sounded incredibly pretentious, almost making them sick to their stomachs.

Moreover, the gap between the bass and treble was far too wide; this wasn't a song at all, but a chaotic mess.

Yet, a thought suddenly sprouted in Xinyue’s mind: why not follow the old man’s words and see what the fruits of this future would truly be?

In her view, his desire to consume the Shen family was one thing, and her contact with Shen Yun was another.

"Most of the company's affairs have been left to you, and I’m much more relaxed now. If I don't come down to walk around, my bones will grow rusty," Du Kang joked.

"I only know that Ou Mufei is taking photos in the studio next door, and I also know that she has never been willing to accept that her endorsement was snatched away by someone else," Maya said with an air of indifference, though a mischievous glint of excitement shone in her eyes.
