Xie Qiuying's footsteps faded away at the end of the corridor. The air inside the room seemed to freeze instantly, and even the wind outside the window silenced its whispers, leaving only a heavy silence echoing among the beams and pillars.
Su Wanqing stood rooted to the spot with her hands hanging down, mere steps away from Xie Yanchen, yet it felt as though an invisible river separated them.
She stared fixedly at the tips of her shoes, not even daring to raise her eyelids, terrified of crashing into the ice-forged scrutiny in his eyes.
After a long while, she mustered enough strength to speak, her voice as thin as a snapping thread:
"I... I really didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call. I just walked up to the door and heard you talking. Afraid of disturbing you, I stood there waiting, thinking that once..."
Outside, Bailinger and Lin Feiyu let out simultaneous cries of pain. Thud! Both of them crashed to the ground at the same time, and immediately afterward, the white light enveloping them flickered out and vanished.
Could Taimao's fiery temper endure such treatment? Of course it could. Who was standing before him? A hero. Having witnessed his own date and manner of death, Taimao possessed not an ounce of courage to refuse. Reluctant as he was... if this were the modern era, a man like this would certainly have been educated by her fists.
Cui Yong'an was still reeling from the shock of Su Yan's brute strength. As his nerves finally relaxed, he recalled how, back at the fork in the path when Su Yan had pinned him down, he had used every ounce of his strength yet failed to break free by even a fraction.
Back then, the rogue beast tribe was growing increasingly powerful, threatening the status of the Heavenly Beast City tribe. Adam believed that eradicating the rogue beasts in one fell swoop would honor his mother's dying words. That was why subsequent events unfolded as they did.
With a loud bang, a gunshot echoed far into the deep forest. Unawares, the entire Sanhezi village had been nearly half-encircled. Every single one of these surrounding men carried a firearm, and the shot that had just been fired struck the village chief squarely in the shoulder.
If one were suddenly to tell Yang Shan and Zhang Jian that they were actually future visitors from another dimension, it was not to say there was no way to make them believe it, but it would require a fair amount of trouble. Especially in the current environment of isolated communications, utilizing information asymmetry to convince people was sometimes very easy, and at other times exceedingly difficult.
"Danger? What danger?" Hearing this, Ling Zhen immediately tensed up and hurriedly asked.
This man was resorting to violence again. He Pei'er could not help letting out a gasp, but before the sound could leave her lips, it was swallowed into Xia Lin's mouth.
When all the guests had dispersed, Sheng Aiguo, who hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, returned to the newlywed room carrying a steaming hot tray of food.

In Li Ye's eyes, Zhang Chang'an's mastery of Sayyid Ajjal's culinary art still had plenty of room for improvement. However, the other party had already grasped the core and key points, so the task had been accomplished quite splendidly, making minor details in technique hardly worth dwelling upon.
"General Lü, we meet again. Take this blow from me—The Divine Dragon Swings Its Tail!" Leveraging the charging momentum of his warhorse, Duan Yingjun swung the long spear in his hand downward with crushing force.
Though he had told himself to take a few days to think things over and slowly devise a countermeasure, the constant stream of various matters around him left Zhuang Yi with no way to focus on contemplating a solution.
Sun Lanjuan was even more unreasonable than her older sister, and compounded with the fact that she had always excessively pampered An Xiaorong, she maintained a self-righteous attitude even while living in her sister's house.
So many years had passed, and Ruan Xianghe had originally thought she could forget everything, believing her heart had grown as hard as stone. Yet upon returning, it remained difficult to find inner peace.
"There's no need for you to treat me to a meal. I've already agreed to have lunch with my dad. Why don't you come with us?" She looked expectantly at Fang Yuan.
Those dense white silk threads wrapped Mo Wentian into a zongzi in the blink of an eye, rendering him completely immobile.
The two shook their heads to indicate they were no longer in serious condition. Just as the three of them were about to leave, a streak of golden light descended from the sky and appeared before them. As the golden light dissipated, Yin Tianhui saw that the newcomer was none other than Hua Yuebai, the sect master of the Golden Luan Gate.
Bando Hideto from Suzuran was a friend of Mitsui Hisashi. Starting last year, under the pretext of avenging Mitsui's grievances with the Shohoku basketball team, he had been continuously harassing them and even injured Shohoku players.
Yet, Gong Wuji could not sense any aura emanating from Ye Tian's body; he only felt that it was exceptionally weak.
Lelia said with a serious expression, "There are thousands of men named Yihan under the heavens, but one man named Yihan is exceptionally famous. He goes by the moniker 'Kirin'." As she spoke, she stared intently at Yihan.
Ning霜 smiled and said, "Then pour out some more." As she spoke, Yihan's hand tilted the cup, and water dripped onto his chest once again, soaking a large area. Yet Yihan felt an incomparable coolness against his chest.
Her breasts could hardly be considered large, likely due to a later stage of development. Looking down from the collar alone, Xue Chongxun naturally could not see her breasts, but he could make out the boundary of that "circular arc" just beneath her collarbone. That soft sensation coupled with her fair and delicate skin seemed like the physical embodiment of all beautiful art.
After placing the sweet potatoes down, they gently smashed the thoroughly burned clumps of earth over the sweet potatoes, covered them with dirt, and dug them up a short while later. Those sweet potatoes were baked thoroughly and evenly by the heat of the earth and the residual embers of the firewood. The tribute sweet potatoes baked in this manner tasted exceptionally delicious.

As long as credit points were involved, anything was negotiable. Besides, Dr. Roger believed he had no way to crack those genes. Selling some to Yang Lin casually didn't matter at all; moreover, in Dr. Roger's eyes, Yang Lin was his potentially largest client.
Qingfeng did not open the door to ask him to stay. Yihan paused three times in a row, hesitating whether to turn back, but ultimately chose to leave.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening reached him. He looked up with a fluttering heart to see Lan Meng'er and Liu Ruoxi walking in hand-in-hand with intimate familiarity.
He hurriedly switched his view to the attacked hunter. By the time he clearly perceived the situation, five hunters' corpses were already lying on the ground. A towering golden giant ape, easily three times the height of a man, was brandishing hammer-like iron fists to pummel the hunters at its feet. With every single blow, another hunter was killed instantly.
However, with this level of strength, the tasks ahead would become extremely manageable, and Yang Lin could begin frantically collecting star fragments.
They hurriedly shook their heads, wearing bewildered expressions. These Tujue warriors were fearless on the battlefield, but in such social settings, their lack of experience made them appear immensely stiff and cautious.
The action of Blazing Thunder not only caught Feng Ying and Zang Ai, who had been waiting outside, completely off guard, but also left Shakya dumbfounded. What on earth was wrong with this guy? Why was his reaction so intense?
The soundproofing of the hospital room was naturally excellent. The moment he stepped outside, Yetian heard the bustling noise of the Pokémon Center lobby. Quickly closing the door behind him, Yetian walked over, seemingly wanting to eavesdrop on what the people out here were discussing.
"Since you're already a running dog of the Charles family, there's nothing more to say!" Qin Feng said indifferently, lighting a cigarette and gesturing for Bailingzhi to hide behind him.
"If I couldn't tell whether that was a provocation or genuine contempt for my Machop's strength, then I'd have no right being a Gym Leader," Gym Leader Brawly said with a smile, not taking Yetian's previous remark to heart at all.
