The editor beside him kicked over the purchased equipment in a fit of rage. It was hardly surprising; after spending nearly a hundred thousand on all this high-tech gear, they had finally managed to crack the encrypted hard drive.

Seeing that they actually had a "Flying Pigeon" bicycle in stock, she didn't hesitate for a moment. After handing over one hundred and seventy-five yuan and the bicycle ration coupon, she rode off on her long-coveted bike, her wish finally fulfilled.

Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxi followed his pointing finger and looked outside, where they saw a few teenagers playing with sleds on the dam.

Because of the massive pointed spaceships filling the sky, it was highly unlikely that he or his ship could leave today. Given the current situation, it was already a stroke of luck that he had been able to pilot his ship here at all. He had originally intended to simply complete the final collision.

His voice remained low, but his tone, cold even within its calmness, had begun to sharpen.

He knew that the Soul-Suppressing Street could not be kept hidden forever, but delaying the inevitable was better than nothing. As long as the majority of the nation remained skeptical, it would be enough.

Besides, as the security chief of the organization, it was only right to show some filial piety to Mommy.

One had to realize that to serve as a gatekeeper for the Alchemist Guild, one needed a cultivation level of at least the eighth stage of the Pulse-Connecting Realm.

Although Long Chen would be dejected for a while, he would eventually pull himself together. Without Jian Ning, his marriage to Jiang Caini was only a matter of time.

Although Dashuang was not her biological grandson, she had raised him from infancy. In her heart, he was no different from her own flesh and blood, and she truly loved him as her own grandson.

Since the world viewed Liu Bowen and himself as one, it would not be unreasonable to build a system loyal to the Prince of Chu with Liu Bowen at the core.

She had already mixed the lye water brought by Xia Chunmei into the bucket with the well water, so learning to knead the dough did not mean she could make longevity peach buns all on her own.

Although he had a beer belly, he was brawny and towering. Yun Xueyao had tried several times to intervene and rescue Xie Hongdan, but each attempt had failed.

Compared to when he had just evolved, Chu Lin’s stomach capacity had increased after growing stronger, rising from one thousand cubic kilometers to twenty-four hundred. Judging by the corresponding muscle evolution levels, the stomach volume seemed to increase by one thousand cubic kilometers for every rank gained.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Changfeng withdrew his soul power. The mental state of the group was generally fine, except for Xiang Fan. However, that man was too utilitarian and extremely selfish; he had even had dealings with dissidents, making him unsuitable for cultivation.

When she arrived, there were servants to guide her, but when she left, the entire house was empty, quiet to the point of desolation.

However, there was one most important item that he, as an outer-court disciple, could never afford.

Previously, although Dongfang Shuo had vaguely alluded to the fact that there were spies from the Empress Dowager and Dou Ying around him, he had never made it explicit, nor had he named names.

Moreover, this type of intelligent insect was actually the most tormented of all the insects being drained.

Meng Huaichuan opened his mouth, then closed it again, thinking to himself that he was no longer the team leader and that some things were better left unsaid.

Admiring himself for a moment, he continued forward. He glanced into the distance; the cemetery was gloomy and overflowing with deathly energy. It was hardly surprising—what good could be found in a graveyard besides the deceased?

As soon as she finished speaking, the vast Peony Garden fell into an instant silence. A uniform gaze swept toward Xiahou Fei, containing schadenfreude, mocking smiles, sympathy, and disdain—all the facets of human nature were laid bare in that single moment.

His expression was solemn and his tone was cold and hard as he spoke. It took me a beat to realize that his earlier questioning was actually an attempt to probe his privacy. Who else but those closest to Lu’s father could have hidden something as top-secret as the metal fragment? Even his son, Lu Xu, had been unaware of it.

Before long, the young ladies came out one by one for breakfast. Dressed in thin shirts and short skirts, the room was suddenly filled with a boundless, spring-like beauty.

With the priest healing from behind, I remained steady with more than half of my health left despite the boss’s triple-hit combo. If it had been Xiao’ao Cangqiong, he would likely be at zero health by now—this was the gap between us.

Listening to him gnash his teeth, wishing to grind me to dust, I dared not provoke him further. I remained silent, thinking of how to make him release Zhu Yuying.

Moreover, without being able to see the skills or grasp the boss's situation, it was best to test the waters before arranging any tactics.

Xiao Yan had selected a few properties online that caught her eye, but due to the weather, she found it inconvenient to go out for viewings and continued to stay at Huo Boxiao’s place.

There were also ties of different colors, hanging there in a rainbow of hues. The most flamboyant of them all was a bright, vivid red.

Lin Ruoyu’s lips curled slightly, revealing a satisfied and charming smile. She walked out with an elegant poise, and I followed behind, clutching my helmet, trailing after her like a lapdog.

Xin Gu suddenly laughed and said, "Fortunately, beauties are not necessarily idiots." She herself was, of course, a beauty—a very beautiful one.

"There's no way around it. Neither light nor thermal radiation can detect this monster. Those phantoms are unknown entities on our equipment," Teng Gong said, having tried several times already.
