Volume 1, Chapter 50: I thought it was something serious.

"What?" Though she had clearly seen right through what was on her mind, she feigned ignorance, intending to play dumb all the way.

Shen Ruge adored the date Qin Qianying had prepared for her and spontaneously planted a kiss on his lips. After the fleeting touch, she tried to pull back, but Qin Qianying wrapped his arm around her waist, leaving her unable to move.

Even though everyone felt that Zhao Xiufun's actions were truly vicious—to put it bluntly, anyone who had witnessed the scene just now felt an absolute urge to kill Zhao Xiufun.

Sun Li was clever; he knew that if he directly pitched this idea to the people at Dream Paradise, they probably wouldn't agree because it would disrupt their plans. However, if he presented the idea to the audience and let them pressure Dream Paradise, there was a strong chance of success.

Yun Simi naturally knew nothing about what was happening in the kitchen, but after waking from this nap, her stomach was truly empty. Seeing Plum Blossom acting like that, she had to suppress her hunger and ask with concern.

"If you feel this is an insult to you, I can cancel the fifty million after our marriage and instead open a company for you, giving you something to keep you busy." This was Qin Qianying's concession.

Now, simply having him speak was the best possible outcome. Not daring to delay, Sang Zi immediately accepted the command, "Yes, Master." With that, he began digging a hole nearby.

Under normal circumstances, Su Jin would never pay attention to such remarks, but today, Su Ning merely cast a cold glance at the man, a look that made him tremble all over, leaving him too terrified to utter another word as she walked right past him.

Shen Ruge blushed. Even though she knew their marriage was devoid of love, she still found her heart fluttering because of his generous public declaration.

Hearing the buzzing sounds of discussion all around, Jiang Yunwan felt a surge of irritation rise within her, her aura gradually escalating.

Bai Zifan felt as though his body were being crushed by a massive boulder, the oppressive weight making it nearly impossible for him to breathe.

The sheep and deer demons continuously cheered Zhang Yang on in their hearts. Just one bite, and the giant black bear's life would be brought to an end.

She forced him to look directly into her eyes. The hands that had just released scorching flames a moment ago to annihilate countless white midges were now ice cold.

Xie Yuxing said "Just a moment," but to everyone's surprise, after about two quarter-hours, the new dishes were served.

Lockhart was talking to a life-sized portrait of himself, which gave him a thumbs-up and flashed a mouthful of dazzling white teeth.

He was extremely confident in his own strength; even without the power of heavenly fire, he firmly believed it was impossible for anyone to detect the slightest trace of the Phoenix clan's hidden talents.

Although she would never become human in this lifetime and keeping that thing served no great purpose, it didn't mean anyone could just go around hurting it, right?

There were exceptions to every rule; why would someone even try to assassinate the emperor? Yun Jiuying had only one precious younger brother, who, in her eyes, was far more precious than the emperor.

"Ten percent, and that's my final offer. There's nothing else to discuss." Ye Zhihan laid down the terms rigidly, leaving zero room for maneuver.

Come back? The word felt both familiar and strange, and it was only then that Su Xia grasped what Liu Gu meant. Was he asking her to stay here?

Xia Meng had actually eaten her fill long ago, but she stayed at the table simply to keep the old master and the others company while they chatted.

Even if damages were awarded, it would only cover the physical assault, and it would require dragging the wretched man's feet until they grew huge—only through formal litigation could she hope to extract a modest compensation.

After leaving the hotel, Lu Yuanqi came straight to the company. Still wearing the outfit from the previous night, his disheveled appearance as he walked into the corporate lobby almost caused the security guards to mistake him for an intruder and chase him out.

When all was said and done, the only reason she had rushed over so eagerly was because she saw Leng Yiming arrive.

"Who do you know that would write to you in such a bizarre way?" Lü Ziyan asked lazily, holding her coffee cup as she sat on the living room sofa and curled her lip.

The conversation that she had finally managed to start was snatched away so easily that Kiko Mizuhara couldn't help feeling somewhat discouraged: could it be that she had to resort to the tactics she saw in romance magazines?

Sun Li possessed Su Wang's imperial warrant, granting him free access to the Alchemy Peak's medicinal herb fields. He lacked none of the materials for these tier-three spiritual elixirs; his only shortage was of rare, special herbs that even the Alchemy Peak could not cultivate.

Lin Yun was an exemplary student, and he immediately grasped the teacher's habitual, unspoken body language.

Kiyomizu Toru curled the corners of his lips, gave an affirmative reply, and stepped out into the January night wind of Tokyo.

She often found herself thinking—since they say drama stems from life, how wonderful it would be if she, a genuine time-traveler, were blessed with great fortune and managed to acquire some sort of spatial dimension.

"But Master, have you ever seen grass and trees cultivate into spirit essences? And when have those botanical spirit essences ever harmed anyone? Yet we monks eat plants all the same; does that act not constitute taking a life?" The white-robed monk stubbornly mustered his breath to argue. Ruoxuan felt a twinge of pity, and after hesitating repeatedly, she handed him a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill.

In other words, after the force-wheel rope net absorbed the power of "Lie," it redirected that very same power back onto "Lie." Under this counter-force, the greater his strength, the greater the force acting upon him would naturally be, making it impossible for him to break free from the fishing net.

And that Qing Tianhua was also among the three hundred people, though he seemed to have resumed his usual calmness, leaving everyone guessing what was going on in his mind.

Dealing with them required a gentle approach. In the end, an elder of great prestige stepped forward to pacify them.

Needless to say, the three Golden Core cultivators in the center—even anyone chosen at random from the rest—possessed higher cultivation levels than the two of them combined.

Although many individuals or robots had never set foot in the waste recycling district, they were still classified among the deportees, presumably belonging to the banished underclass of human society.

Because he was wearing that mask, when Ye Haoran walked down to the Thousand Charms Pavilion, not a single maiden came forward to greet him. Instead, after a short while, Madam Mei personally appeared and invited Ye Haoran inside.
