29 Self-Awareness

[Private Chat] Chenyi Shuangxiao whispers to you: [Aggrieved] You’re the one who told me to sleep! My brother-in-law isn't as handsome as I am—wait, no, my sister doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, so where would I get a brother-in-law for you to sleep with?

Finally snapping back to reality, A-Mo hurried to help his master rise to use the latrine. The guard, usually so talkative, was suddenly so quiet that Yue Wuchang felt quite unaccustomed to it, casting a puzzled glance at A-Mo.

Then, he cut the fuses to equal lengths, inserted them into bamboo tubes, and buried them in the ground, leading them all the way to a patch of wormwood on the west side. He dug a hidden ambush spot there and instructed Yu Guyun to hide inside with a flint and steel.

Chun Cao looked at the Great Elder with curiosity. The Great Elder had always been indifferent toward her; could this sudden concern be genuine? She lowered her head and thought to herself, he probably just wants me to recover my health so I can bear children for the Lu family.

This was why Meng Qi took the responsibility for the outcome upon his own shoulders; it was also for this reason that he felt confident enough to face the evil cultivator in battle.

In the mountains, aside from the second branch head who was accompanying the clan leader away, the other branch heads, already aware of what the third branch head had suffered yesterday, were busy discussing countermeasures. Seeing so many government runners arrive at once, they knew the situation was dire. Not daring to say much, they pushed all the blame onto the clan leader, promising that once the clan leader returned, they would go to the prefectural office to plead guilty.

Just as he was wondering about this, a cry rang out from the arena. He looked up to see the old man rolling to the side, clutching his thigh, blood that looked almost black under the firelight seeping through his fingers.

She had ordered a bowl of Eight-Treasure Porridge for herself, which came with a spoon, but she still needed chopsticks to pick up the side dishes.

Yet, no matter how one looked at it, the fact remained that he had gone to a brothel, gotten drunk, and caused a scene upon his return. Xi'er’s attitude toward him had turned icy, and at this moment, Yue Wuchang wished he could slap himself a few times.

The fat man’s round eyes darted around. After swallowing hard, he had no choice but to lower his pitiful gaze.

"Smack!" With a single motion, I raised my hand and slapped Zhou Xiaomei hard across the face.

Through the media's transmission, Benitez finally set his mind at ease. For the first time, he placed a call to Li Wei.

Yun Yueyao stroked the sword blade with affection, gave it a light flick, and then stepped into the tower, sword in hand.

Jinxiu curled her lips into a smile. She didn't rush to push the door open, but instead leaned against the wide-open gate and knocked lightly. The sound was not loud, but in the near-silent courtyard, it was incredibly clear. She didn't have to wait long; after three breaths, she heard a rustling sound coming from inside the room.

Once she reached the inner chamber, Lady Lian had already awakened. Seeing her safe and sound, Lady Lian held her and wept.

In the final moments, although Manchester United launched a fierce assault on Everton's goal, the fourth official, under pressure from Ferguson, allowed for an extra five minutes of stoppage time. Even so, Manchester United failed to break through Everton's defense, and the match ended in a 4-4 draw.

That was the motorcycle he had dreamed of. Although his "White Dragon Horse" was already quite good, it had been a 20th birthday gift from his sister, who had kept it secret from their grandparents, and he rarely had the heart to use it.

He had merely exhausted too much spiritual energy earlier, leaving less than ten percent in his body. After drinking the premium spiritual dew Yaoyao had given him, he was already fine.

"This... Young Master Qi, it’s just a meal. If you had time to talk, this meal would have been finished long ago," Long Jianfei had shaken his head repeatedly, but to his frustration, the other man simply ignored his existence.

Bai Rujiao tapped her chest lightly and put on a flirtatious display: "Oh, there's blood. I can't stand the sight of fighting and killing; just thinking about it makes me ache." She bit her silver teeth and hissed, as if she were the one in agonizing pain.

Following that, the short time Le Chen and Qi Jing had spent in Wuli City was also dug up. Everyone they had ever come into contact with was thoroughly investigated.

Looking at the empty surroundings, the group felt a sense of unease; they had grown accustomed to being surrounded by chaos beasts.

What was in the past could not be erased, and those with intent would always find it. Since they already suspected her, if she didn't treat them to a game of "Guess, Guess, Guess Again," how could she justify their persistent hospitality in probing her?

"Me eating your food is a sign of respect for you. You're paying for breakfast later," Li Xue hummed softly.

The masked man didn't know why, but the less Zuo An resisted, the stronger his inner sense of unease became.

The madam of the brothel beamed with joy as she gave her orders. She hadn't seen such a stunning beauty in a long time. Tsk tsk, she could already imagine the silver rolling into her arms like snowflakes tonight.

Three locations, three different great battles; all the spectators were watching closely, and some kept their eyes fixed on the Orb of All Living Things in the sky. It could be said that the ultimate goal of these three battles was that single orb in the center.

Shui Linglong saw Qi Sujin meditating nearby and didn't want to disturb her. Finding a comfortable spot for herself, she hummed a few soft notes and drifted off to sleep.

Uncle Lin was still a bit worried, but he was also happy; with A-Xiao back safe and sound, the heart that had been hanging in his chest could finally settle.

"What do you mean I caused it? I was trying to save her!" Pan Jinyu shouted back in an agitated rage.

I was just about to say something when I heard Yang Qi’s voice coming from far away behind me.
