Day Twenty-One

“Wicked faces, wipe them all out,” Qing Hong said with a bloodthirsty smile, his dark eyes utterly devoid of warmth.

“This is my son, Qiu Zhao. From now on, he’s with you,” Qiu Xian said, pointing to the young man beside him.

Her beautiful eyes glinted with malice, as if only by tearing Qing Hong apart alive could she ease the resentment burning within her. She had thought it through countless times, fully aware that neither her grandfather nor her father would give up such a prodigy on her account.

In truth, Du Bin’s words weren’t entirely wrong; it was just that I found him disagreeable and didn’t want to bother listening. It was purely a reflexive rebuttal.

At this point in the conversation, the Seven Stars of the Night had clearly intended to portray Ye Fantian as a proud, arrogant genius who acted recklessly. Every gesture, expression, and tone was laced with anger, as if he had been suppressed by Ye Fantian to the utmost and was reluctantly pushing back.

Seeing these two being beaten, Lin Rui felt no sympathy at all. If he could, he would have liked nothing more than to kill Jin Zhihong with his own hands—unfortunately, that was not possible.

Upon hearing Huoxi’s words, Luoyan merely smiled, but if one looked closely, the coldness in that smile was like an eternal iceberg, chilling to the bone. He cast a deep glance at Huoxi’s serene and composed face, nodded slightly, and said no more.

“Heh, if you really felt moved, I’m sure you’d be the first to jump down. You definitely wouldn’t want him to make a move,” I said with a laugh, giving Xigua a sidelong glance.

“Did you confess to Maomao last night while we were asleep?” Shi Liang asked harshly.

These two weren’t just anyone—they were the Night Battle Wolf and Night Baizun, both of whom had offended Ye Fantian. Their malicious expressions clearly revealed their excitement over this matter.

“This is a mutual agreement. They will never disclose the employer’s identity, and the employer cannot reveal how to contact them. The method you want to use has long been anticipated by them,” said Guo Tong.

Professor Jiang and Madam Jiang had both just recovered from serious illness. They hadn’t finished their meal since five o’clock and looked somewhat uncomfortable, yet Professor Jiang still sat upright, waiting patiently.

“The so-called identification means separating that ‘anomaly’ from the ordinary cycle travelers. Only Li Wei’s teleportation can achieve this. Once the anomaly is found and sent elsewhere, the first mission is complete,” Darkblade asserted firmly.

Medusa continued to leap forward, relentlessly pursuing Athena, with the determination to annihilate her utterly.

Though sitting face to face with Nangong Ren, Lie Yan’s attention was primarily on her son. Hearing his words just now, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Everyone at the outdoor auction was still eagerly discussing those few drops, which had driven the atmosphere to a peak—the sky-high price of the divine water.

After speaking, Han Xin patted the shoulder of the royal physician, then donned his cloak and left the tent directly.

Sweat running down my face, I quickly said, “Bangzi, let Yu drive properly first. We’ll teach him later.” I hadn’t realized their texting was so complicated. Behind Liu Bang’s massive success lay much sweat and effort, not to mention his innate intelligence.

“You’re a master! Huh? Haha, you’re a piece of crap!” The slender dancer cheered at her own accidental discovery.

Gu Fei stretched his muscles and glanced at his friend list. The new acquaintance, Drift, was truly a powerhouse in the gaming world. Such a talent—when he was offline was a mystery Gu Fei would never fathom.

Arriving at the office building’s conference room, police and school personnel sat in two rows on opposite sides of the long table.

Jun Hao fell silent, glanced back at the others, then lightly tapped his toes before swiftly flying toward the Dan Palace’s exterior, apparently unwilling to engage Ji Zilong further.

Before reaching the dagger, she stretched out her delicate hand and pulled it from the ground. Then, springing off the floor with both feet, she gripped the dagger firmly and plunged it downward with force.

However, near the shaman Di, the influx of corpse energy was unbearable; he could only use blood spirit energy to defend himself. If it invaded his body, it would bring nothing but harm.

He handed over a delicate gift: a diamond necklace prepared by Alfred, of considerable value.

Wei Qing instantly understood—what she called the main medicinal ingredient was likely the five-hundred-year-old Fragrant Thunderfire Herb they had collected earlier.

The Hong family and the Wu family held equal status in Shenting Kingdom, though the Hong family was quite close to the Lu family.

After dinner, I brought the roast chicken back. Yiyi was still at the computer, staring blankly at something. I walked over and looked at the screen—it was still an endless snowy plain.

Xuanwu Jiu Xingna confirmed her pregnancy, though the exact number of days was unknown, as there were no modern diagnostic tools available.

I felt an overwhelming flood of information in my mind and painfully covered my head as countless images flashed through my thoughts. Then, a cursed seal appeared at the center of my consciousness, radiating immense killing intent, like a war god.

Aside from him, Qin Chen’s grandparents, uncles, and aunts fully occupied the banquet hall.

Qin Chen’s confident smile was deeply detested by Professor Yuan. Having already exposed Qin Chen’s despicable deeds, Yuan was further disgusted by Qin Chen’s attempt to show off before him. Originally intending only for Qin Chen to complete the exam honestly by his own ability, Yuan’s impression of him worsened.

Against the backdrop of Masaki Okamura, she appeared even more tender and enchanting, vibrant and alluring. Even the third aunt following behind was radiant and full of spirit.
