Volume 1, Chapter 50: Harmony Brings Wealth to a Household
Since his aunt knew the wife of the richest man named Liang, how could he possibly give up such a wonderful connection?
After a moment, Gu Yunsheng raised his head and gestured to Gu Yunyun a few times. Gu Yunyun understood that he wanted her to go and check on Madam Gu.
Logically speaking, given Youye’s own ability, it was completely capable of contaminating and devouring an entire mirror plane. After all, even if the current Heavenly Daos were to confront it directly, they would stand no chance of winning, wouldn't they?
"Teacher Qian, I remember you like seafood. Today's steamed fish is exceptionally delicious, would you like to have a bite?" Qiao Ran sincerely suggested.
Upon hearing Shu Mai mention the name Chu Tiankuo, a flash of disgust crossed Li Chourong's face. It was as if hearing the name Chu Tiankuo brought her extreme displeasure, causing her to automatically ignore the latter half of the sentence about him being "struck by the Lovesick Palm."
Having waited for a long time without receiving a reply from Chi Qing, Mo Nansheng immediately knitted his sword-like brows, glancing sideways at the person beside him with eyes full of displeasure.
Since the words were already spoken, she had no room to take them back. Provoked further by Dongfang Hong's actions, she felt all the more compelled to go.
Over at the General's Estate, the moment Shui Yi'ren and her family stepped foot onto the estate's grounds, various aristocratic families in the capital received the news and began pondering whether to send calling cards for a formal visit. Of new, the Yun residence also received the news immediately, prompting Hua Xiren and her daughter-in-law to exchange knowing smiles.
Madam Chang had received word long ago and was now standing on tiptoe in the corridor, looking out with longing anticipation. Finally, when Fuqu urged her for the third time to go inside and wait, she caught sight of the figures of Qian Ye and her group of three.
Although he didn't know why Huo Xiao had taken a fancy to the other party, it was, as he had just said, merely for amusement.
"Keep a close eye on the movements of the King of Dongchen, and let me know the moment there is any news," the King of Beizheng instructed.
At this tense moment on the Blessing Plain, operating at full capacity through the Heavenly Eye, intelligence reports were secretly dispatched. Within half a day, they swept across the western territory of the Xingluo Ancient Kingdom like a tempest, and subsequently spread to the rest of the Xingluo Ancient Kingdom, neighboring kingdoms, and even the other dominant empire, the Daqian Dynasty.
For so many days, they had been eating dry rations, having only managed a simple meal back at the Qiqihar airport earlier, but the food at the airport wasn't particularly appetizing either.
This time, Jiang Nan abruptly drove the Kukri knife downward. Instead of struggling, Nie Shanshan opened her eyes wide and watched him.
Having neutralized the opponent's offensive so effortlessly, Chu Tianze imagined that if he were to fight them, there would only be one outcome.
Before he could pinch her, just as his fingers brushed against her plumpness, He Saixue let out a startled cry and crossed her arms to shield her chest. Seizing the opportunity, Li Zhiyuan gave her thigh a pinch.
Everything on the mountain peak that was still vibrant and full of life was being absorbed, and there was still no sign of the momentum stopping.
Director Chen was in a bit of a difficult spot. If the embassy personnel really came over, things would become rather troublesome.
"Alright, now that these matters are settled, this girl and I will take our leave," I stood up.
After listening carefully to everyone's opinions and finding them very reasonable, Huangfu Huang stopped maneuvering "Demacia" into retreat and began advancing toward the enemy's crystal nexus.
She would have loved to wear it, but unfortunately, her level didn't permit it. She would just have to see whether to replace it once she reached level 15; if not needed, she would sell it directly and make other plans.
Earlier, her mind had been muddled, and she hadn't thought about anything, which was why she came to the Xia family. Once she calmed down, she realized that the people who refused to answer her phone calls did so purely out of fear of being implicated.
With a single thought, he could encompass every corner of the Yuzhu Mountain Range. As for territorial expansion, he had never thought of using any primitive calendar units to measure it—not because he lacked ambition, but because under normal circumstances, no one would possess such boundless ambition.
Bai Xuan possessed formidable martial arts and superior scheming skills, exuding an air of unbridled arrogance and fearlessness. There was not the slightest trace of admiration for him to be seen in her.
Yet, after Mo Fuyang swallowed it, mysterious spell patterns emerged all around his body, and even celestial light cascaded down, accompanying the profound changes happening within him.
After he fell asleep, the two pretending to sleep didn't dare make any big movements, but instead raised their heads slightly to communicate with their eyes.
Even a few crystalline beads were falling from the air, landing softly on the ground with almost no sound.
When Xiao Feng closed in again and smashed a fist against the true essence shield in front of Ma Xingye, the shield rippled with powerful waves, yet remained unbroken.
"I am very glad to be able to marry you." Before meeting her, Situ Mingtian had never intended to take a wife. But when fate arrived, it was simply unstoppable.
The bluestones surrounding the flower boat were directly torn away block by block, and the cloud-filled sky, previously drifting with heavy snow, was instantly blasted apart by this surge of sword intent.
Having learned the source of Qingxu's confidence in transforming into a sixteenth-tier divine beast Kunpeng, even True Hidden Venerable, Primordial Sun Venerable, and others—who would not have been of much use once a frontal battle broke out—followed closely behind him.
Compared to terrifying celestial bodies like black holes, he himself had already evolved into a terrifying entity no less formidable than a black hole.
After all, while there were selfish people in this world, there were equally selfless ones, weren't there? Humanity had always been the most multifaceted existence in this world; whether good or evil, it was merely a matter of a single thought. In comparison, other races were much simpler.
Although the Lord of Chaos could radiate his power across the myriad realms, he was evidently not a supreme being who excelled in details; a crude and unrefined style was his way of doing things.
Mei Ziyan's body was trembling as she looked at her sticky hands—what could those be if not blood?
Just then, Fatty Li heard someone enter. "I've said it so many times, you must knock when entering the door, no matter what urgent business you have. That's basic etiquette, understand?" Fatty Li flipped through the newspaper in his hands without even bothering to see who had come in.
Xu Yi didn't show much expression. Regardless of the circumstances, his grandfather was already embroiled in the matters here, which, for him, was not necessarily a bad thing.
In the middle of the night, the ink-blue canopy of the sky was sparsely dotted with a few solitary stars. A night wind swept across the grassland, carrying a lonely and desolate feel.
After everyone finished breakfast, they each made their own preparations and collectively set off toward the summit of West Mountain. As a national-level scenic area, West Mountain possessed very well-developed facilities, and the path up the mountain was constructed exceptionally well.
Yet, to Helan Yao, this voice sounded somewhat frivolous. No doubt, this young monarch was still intoxicated by the sweet taste of victory and unable to extricate himself.
