Volume 1, Chapter 23: President Meng Goes Berserk and Forces a Kiss Upon Her!

The aerial explosion echoed as the ghost fox utilized its fox fire to collide with the sword energy once more, successfully breaking free. However, the full force of the blast struck its own body, leaving its spectral form so faint it was barely visible.

The candle sat by the bedside, its flame dancing in the mild night breeze as if on the verge of being extinguished.

The outcome was clear: facing Lin Yu, who possessed numerous skills granted by the system, any fan or follower who crossed his path was effortlessly cut down.

Zhang Xing replied airily, "It’s fine," and after telling Yan Ke to fetch it for him later, he headed back to the dormitory.

Just then, someone shouted out, causing Shen Chang'an and his two companions to startle.

Roland nodded with certainty. The original work mentioned this: Rin Tohsaka could perform basic reinforcement magic almost instinctively, yet when it came to projection—even for simple, non-functional objects—she found it incredibly difficult.

As time flowed on, countless years passing, a figure slowly sat up from the shattered remains of a star-continent and looked up toward the heavens.

Aunt Liu would occasionally bring home-grown specialties to Lin Wan’s clinic. Seeing Lin Wan busy processing herbs and making medicinal pastes, she would always beam with a mixture of joy and pity, and whenever her farm work was finished, she would come by to help chop and wash the herbs.

Luo Feng instinctively wanted to agree, but he realized in time that this villa belonged to Liu Yuan. He didn't visit often, and if Lu Bing were to stay here, wouldn't he be forced to come every day?

Beneath the cave entrance lay a massive cavern, resembling an ancient tomb. Inside, apart from the hard rock and dry air, there was nothing but a pile of bleached bones.

Nearly half an hour later, past midday, the Yang family general, sturdy as a bear and clad in black armor, displayed his superb martial arts through his powerful physique.

It wasn't that no one sensed the presence of the evil aura; it was that those who sensed it did not recognize it for what it was.

"Keep walking straight along the ventilation duct, then turn right and climb upward to escape. It leads to a chimney; with your lightness skill, that should be easy enough," he said, indicating the route.

Hearing this, Luo Bei understood. Ning Qianshan trusted his own judgment; the soul of a celestial being was inherently sensitive to all other souls.

At this moment, the Turks of the Xueyantuo tribe beneath the city walls began their counterattack. Arrows fell like torrential rain upon the ramparts, and as soldiers of the Sui army and the Turks alike were struck, they fell from the walls with agonizing screams, the casualties steadily mounting.

The scroll before him trembled. A portion of the laws of painting within it had already collapsed, and the remaining parts, closely linked to the ruined sections, began to crumble entirely, like a building collapsing because its foundation had been destroyed.

"I am now one hundred percent certain that the Fierce Leopard harbors a traitorous heart! Now answer my question: can Shura create a new puppet?" Northern Tiger withdrew his sharp gaze.

As the name suggests, it was about Obito Uchiha waiting for Black Zetsu to seek him out, at which point Ai Kato would instantly appear and slay Black Zetsu.

"I trouble you, Physician Zeng." Qingshuang spoke in a low voice, her brow furrowing with deeper concern as she recalled the news Zeng Shaocong had just delivered.

The two entered the inner chamber and sat down, while Green Willow served tea and quietly withdrew. After the obligatory exchange of polite inquiries—the necessary preamble—they finally broached the main topic.

Huyan Bolei was about to agree, but was pulled back by Zhao Mofan at his side. Meanwhile, Guo Qin stepped forward and addressed Nangong Ding with great courtesy.

The Evil Monarch’s voice grew anxious. He and Guo Qin knew best how terrifying the micro-puppets in the water were; if their defenses were breached, the three of them would not even have their bones left.

Only when Bi'er spoke did Qingshuang realize she was still there. She thought to herself that since this method had been taught by Aunt Xiangruo, she would need to have Bi'er withdraw.

He admired the magnificent scenery of the peaks, and a sudden, brilliant idea sparked in his mind; he ordered his deputy generals to build an altar.

Looking at the hand extended before her, Luo Qi felt a flicker of doubt and hesitation: Is it permitted? Can I take this hand?

Guo Qin clearly had no time to focus on such details, but he could sense the extraordinary nature of the green-blue auspicious cloud above Xiao Rushi’s head. He could feel the vibrant life force within that cloud, which was rapidly restoring the thirty percent of primal energy Xiao Rushi had already expended.

"Amitabha. To behold such a treasure of the Buddha is already a stroke of great fortune. How could a monastic harbor greed and seize what belongs to another?" A flash of spirit appeared in Qiuyue's eyes, only to vanish without a trace.

Aunt Ruoxiang did not decline; she bowed to Imperial Concubine Li in thanks and took a seat on the huanghuali wood chair nearby.

Yang Qi was proficient in every aspect of cultivation knowledge and could learn almost anything instantly, but there was one thing he would never truly grasp: the human heart.

Learning the true identity of Mu Xuefu was like a bolt from the blue for him. It felt absurd; people who should have been dead were appearing before his eyes one by one, and he even began to doubt whether that massacre had ever truly occurred.

"This Marquis knows the causes and consequences of the matter, but I must state that it has nothing to do with me. If I had wanted to kill the Prince of Ping, I would have done it ten years ago; why wait until now?" After Gu Mingxu finished his interrogation, Marquis Xie replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

With that shout, I restored the morale of the Violent Tigers. Their spirit surged, and the sight of nearly four hundred bloodthirsty, peak-level Violent Tigers was enough to make even a supreme expert shudder. I do not know if Mojie was afraid, but his expression was grim.

Jerry lowered his head in shame after listening to Jiang Chen’s words, falling into silence. But Jiang Chen, needing to save time, ordered two mercenaries to carry Jerry away.

Before joining the Heavenly Evolution, he had already learned that the most promising geniuses of the Star God Academy were the likes of Zhu Ding'an, Xiao Yuan, and Chen Guodong. He was confident that if he encountered them, he could defeat them without much effort, and thus he had never taken the rest of the Star God Academy seriously.
