The first to rush home were Bai Zimo and Bai Lingxi. Bai Zimo marched straight toward Bai Fenghua's courtyard with heavy, thudding footsteps. Bai Lingxi followed closely behind with an eager expression, a deep sense of confusion lingering in the depths of her eyes as she desperately wanted to know what the rumors circulating in the capital today were all about.
"Since Her Royal Highness is so kind-hearted, this humble Taoist priest expresses his gratitude here!" Daoist Priest Zhang Feng immediately replied.
Su Bei paused, wondering how he could have forgotten about this matter. Now it was a fine mess; there was bound to be a good show to watch once Lin Wei arrived shortly. Smacking his forehead hard, Su Bei agreed verbally, though he felt rather reluctant in his heart.
With that said, he raised his hand. Suddenly, a Halberd appeared in his grip. The surface of the Halberd was traced with gold and crimson paint, and ghostly figures swirled around the crescent-shaped blade. Countless shadows of demon gods manifested upon it, making it look like a weapon originating straight from the netherworld.
"Alright, Yan'er." Feeling a slight dizziness in her head, Bao'er raised a hand to stop her words, turned around, and paid no more attention to the matter here.
Su Bei reached out, intending to grab Lin Wei, but Lin Wei turned around and glared fiercely at Su Bei. She forcefully shook off Su Bei's hand, her gaze filled with bitter resentment. In her understanding, Su Bei had been aware of the truth all along.
"Hmph. Dongfang Ji, please wipe your mouth after you finish eating next time." With that, she left in a huff, leaving a bewildered Dongfang Ji behind.
"Ziqing, you've worked hard these past few days." Ziqing was Wuchen's courtesy name, and only Qianjin would address him in this manner. Hearing Qianjin say this now, Wuchen raised his head, the look of profound emotion on his face unmistakable.
Just like now, the eyes beneath the dim, warm light of the courtyard were tinted with a warm orange glow, resembling a guiding beacon of light in the darkness. Once a person laid eyes upon them, they could never look away again. The furious brilliance carried within them made them sparkle like stars, causing Bao'er's still-unsettled heart to ripple slightly once more.
Ding Yu slowly opened his eyes, quietly glanced around at the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Dao worlds surrounding him, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. A profound sense of immense satisfaction and pride welled up from within him.
Realizing he would not be able to leave anytime soon, Yang Fan stayed in Yangming City, listening to these people recount numerous matters over and over again.
Baili Lanxiang had long wished to thank this benefactor, but lacked the opportunity. Now that such an opportunity had finally presented itself, Baili Lanxiang was determined to visit the benefactor who had given her son a new lease on life and raised him for eighteen years, no matter what.

Golden Dragon Ling'er was not someone prone to affectation, so she took a deep breath and then shouted loudly toward Li Ling.
Wentian's figure crashed heavily against the wall behind him. The Iron-Blood True Essence Shield in front of him had not shattered, but Li Ling's formidable strength directly sent him sliding dozens of meters across the ground, his boots sinking deep into the icy layer beneath his feet.
After speaking, he put his glasses back on. The jade-cutting machine emitted a squeaking cutting sound, and Xiong Wei occasionally boiled some water. Xu Yang made his cut a tiny bit deeper inward this time. Although this differed from the cutting line analyzed by his eye-borne superpower, doing so allowed him to view the jadeite inside much better and more intuitively.
Although the few individuals had stopped retreating, they still could not conceal their shock, looking at one another in dismay.
The people of the Holy Shrine were arrogant, but this arrogance was backed by genuine foundation. However, in Yang Fan's view, their arrogance was merely unwarranted bravado.
"...A grenade?" Not only was the second-generation matrix creature startled, but the first-generation matrix creature standing in the distance, watching the ultimate grenade thrown by Sun Yan, also had a rigid expression and a slightly twitching mouth.
Although the dragon riders suppressed the Norland archers' forces, the Faro coalition forces still fell into a disadvantage. The three lines of defense in front of the hills were leveled in the blink of an eye, and the thousands of warriors within them turned into corpses, while fewer than five hundred Norland warriors had fallen. A combat casualty ratio close to ten to one made Li Cha and the others' hearts thump with anxiety.
Yaya's voice sounded in his mind once more: This is an ancient dominating magic—Absolute Territory. It is too late; we have already fallen under his magic and cannot possibly resist him. We are in serious trouble now.
I have a very peculiar good friend named Akihiko Chuzenji. He is an old classmate of mine whom I have known for fifteen or sixteen years.
Hearing these provocative words, Huo Yunzhou was about to retort with a few barbs of his own when Wen Xingtang had already handed a few skewers right in front of him.
Being able to dine here right now, and even in the world's most luxurious presidential suite, felt simply like being in a dream.
Han Guibing had been raised single-handedly by his mother. Growing up, they had accumulated countless debts, and walking through the village meant running into creditors at eight out of ten households.

Not only are there policy incentives, but it also reduces costs and helps a good friend—why not do it?
She was very satisfied with today's outcome and decided to spare a little patience for Huo Yunzhou, answering his questions as thoroughly as possible. To do so, she even used a four-character idiom she had just learned.
They knew that after today, the Su Corporation would completely belong to Lin Mo, and no one would be able to shake his position.
Even though the Zhenbei Corps possessed numerous honors, those belonged to the past; it was no longer the world of the Zhenbei Army.
Shen Qingshi said this to the crowd, cast a cold glance at Qin Lei to signal him to follow, and then strode out of the meeting room.
Mother Qi had already prepared the meal. She was a head nurse with many years of experience, mostly handling managerial duties, and as she neared retirement, her schedule was relatively relaxed.
"If you don't tell me, then I'll have no choice but to drive straight back to the hotel and take you upstairs." His overly bold words startled Mansheng, fearing he might actually do just that, so she hurriedly blurted out her residential address.
"Haven't you understood yet, Xia Yinian? Today, you are mine, hahaha." Saying this, Xia Yibing pounced toward Xia Yinian.
Over there, seeing that Qi Chisu had indeed gone out, Ye Chenfeng ran back into Lin Huiru's room to shower her with comfort. Even after an entire night, Lin Huiru still felt deeply aggrieved inside, and staying in the restroom for such a long time had not made it easy for her to recover.
