Volume One, Chapter 35: He’s Not Losing Out—I Am!
Being called to school by a teacher is universally regarded by students and parents alike as a humiliating ordeal. Almost every parent summoned in this manner enters the school with their head bowed low, and leaves with it bowed even lower.
As for the formula of the potion, that was even less of a concern. The concoction was derived from a genetically modified serum developed by Sun Xiaoyue; if it were so easily decoded, the research level of genetic biology on Earth would not have remained at its current stage.
Overjoyed at the discovery, Yan Ergou eagerly took it, imitating the way Liu Xiaoyu had lit his cigarette, and took a blissful puff.
Seemingly sensing Tang Chuan's gaze, Gao Jiping turned her head, locking eyes with him from across the distance.
Yet, this mere seven or eight meters was enough to confirm the existence of the snake den for everyone.
"I have no desire to return to the past. It is wonderful here," he said, waving his sleeve to decline Lei Aobai's kind offer.
Furthermore, the subsequent appearance of the purple-veined rice and the inexplicable improvement in his own physical condition left both Father Liu and Yao Jun deeply perplexed. Privately, they had searched for relevant information, only to find that there seemed to be no record of a variety called purple-veined rice, either domestically or abroad.
I don't think I've ever believed that our love wouldn't have a happy ending, so I tried my hardest to let you know, baby, you are the greatest love of my life.
"Such a large book, is it a photo album?" Long Zhiyan asked skeptically as he opened it; he had never seen this album before.
The first time was her initial encounter with Gudelio. The most talented master of both magic and martial arts in the Pangde Empire had been thoroughly defeated by Nefertiti. Gudelio's strength filled her with longing and envy; it was precisely because of this that she fell from grace.
Ning Yixing had already neutralized the poison in his own body, and though he was currently very weak, he was anxious to capture that Miss Su, so he hurried out to the city gates.
Leng Yuchen said nothing, brushed her hand away, and walked out of the bedroom. By the time Mu Xiaojing chased him downstairs, he had already driven away.
With that smile, the overwhelming pressure of her demonic power finally vanished, as if a gentle spring breeze had swept across the hearts of the demons.
The Emperor’s fingers tightened slightly around the jade flute. Could she say nothing more than words of thanks whenever she saw him?
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Wuji was no fool; he understood instantly, his eyes narrowing as he frowned.
Just as Lei Yingfeng finished speaking, the Tyrannosaurus’s attack missed, its fist’s violent force slamming into the defensive light barrier at the edge of the arena, creating a dull, booming sound.
That graceful, pale-yellow figure stood indifferently in the doorway, a mocking, derisive sneer playing on her peerlessly beautiful face.
Hearing Tie Mu’s shout, the second-in-command turned around. He hesitated for a moment, his face showing a trace of reluctance, but realizing the captain spoke the truth, he nodded in agreement.
"Old Hua, I heard you brought back a new brother. Who is he? Let me have a look." The Sniper Tiger King’s eyes locked onto Xizi.
Mu Yanxi bit her red lip hard, suppressing the jealousy welling up in her heart. Her autumn-like eyes were as sharp as blades, piercing straight at Mu Xiaojing.
After being confusedly driven out of the room, Jian He hurried toward her own room, stumbling through the snow before the bells finished tolling. Just as she stepped out of the plum blossom grove, she collided with someone at the corner.
Ye Tian felt an immense pressure crashing down upon him, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.
Under Shen Shi’s assault, the flesh below the White Ancestor’s chest began to regenerate, causing Shen Shi’s gaze to sharpen.
On the holographic screen, Han Dong’s expression remained unchanged as he quietly watched the two act. He showed a hint of understanding on the surface, but inwardly he was indifferent. After all, back on his home planet of Earth, crimes were easily judged and the scope of the law was extremely broad.
Shen Shi was speechless. "Better to be clear with them. This guy is almost certainly the deeply hidden White Family ancestor. A boss who plans so far ahead like this in reality wouldn't just show up and try to crush people brainlessly like in a novel."
Viper's parents sat dazed in their chairs, watching the chaotic relatives on the vehicle in helplessness.
Only then did Qiao Er mutter something under his breath to summon a soft sword, cut the ropes, and rub his wrists.
Ling Hao, who usually prided himself on his steady focus, found himself immersed in the warmth of those light spots for a moment before suddenly snapping back to reality.
Moreover, he could tell that both men possessed the aura of people in high positions; Lin Pingzhi, in particular, naturally carried the presence of one of the wealthiest men in the land.
"Our town is limited in scale; we couldn't possibly prepare that many evacuation facilities. Even if the higher-ups had the foresight to prepare their own shelters in advance, researchers of our level wouldn't have access to them," Rui Rui replied, squatting on the ground with her arms crossed, her expression dim.
However, before leaving Fanyang City, Lin Guangyi managed to get a rough idea of what happened to Li Wujie before and after he jumped off the cliff, through Qita’s account.
The next moment, the winds and clouds shifted, and a young man whose appearance was beyond reproach descended. As he appeared, the surrounding light seemed to dim in his presence.
The blood was on his trousers, and the wound must have been on the inner thigh. Su Changyu did not dare to look, assuming it was from when he was wounded by Hun Zhuo last time.
That Tiancheng Sect disciple was a novice; the moment he saw Lou Qingsi and Hun Zhuo leave, he fainted dead away.
There was no help for it; all my things were in my backpack, and after the middle-aged man took it, I was left with only a few talismans and the prayer beads I had taken from him yesterday.
I thought calmly, still feeling that something was strange. But a man wouldn't be a man if he didn't check it out, so I decided to use my ultimate move.
Evaluation: A being from myths and legends, possessing incredible power, but now merely a fragment.
I couldn't handle her, so I said, "Give me the camera quickly; I need to study." She went to get her own camera and began to teach me; we both became very serious.
Yuan Wuji did indeed frequently leave the city over the next few days to survey the various mountains, which only confirmed Li Wujie’s suspicions about his identity.
She suddenly realized that her romance was different from others. Most people fell in love first, then got married and had children. Yet for her, it was the exact opposite: she had the child first, and now, facing An Muchen's marriage proposal, she had even skipped the dating phase entirely.
