Volume 1, Chapter 55: Xiaomei's Soul Shatters and Scatters

A dozen police cars drove in a convoy through various streets, finally arriving at the tarmac of the national capital's airport.

Every bottle of wine in his collection was worth a fortune, yet that day at the supermarket, she clung tightly to a bottle of pure sweet wine and refused to let go.

Su Qixi felt her eyes sting with tears, but she still straightened her back and walked forward, refusing to show any vulnerability to Shu Xinlei.

Beside the luxurious circular bar, Yin Liang half-lay slumped over, an entire row of empty wine bottles scattered haphazardly beside his hand.

Jing Hua smiled gently, then took out steaming hot dishes from her storage ring and arranged them on the table. Song Qianhe took a look and immediately agreed that these dishes looked magnificent—they were palace-style cuisine, after all.

"I need to make sure there are nothing concealed on their bodies!" Xiao Ruyue glanced sideways, her gaze carrying an effortless, imposing dignity.

Xie Yu ate quietly, afraid that saying the wrong thing might displease her again. Suddenly, his eyes drifted toward the straps of her camisole, catching a glimpse of a deep cleavage. This was the first time Xie Yu had ever seen such a sight.

"Thank you, Dad!" Huo Chengyou's eyes lit up. At that moment, he felt an immense sense of admiration for his tall and handsome father, even though he usually refused to admit it aloud.

In his eyes, his father had always been a vigorous, decisive, and ruthless business tycoon—someone capable of anything.

"Fourth lass, why is the door still latched? Don't you want your dad to come in again?" Reaching out to pat Gu Qingwan's hair, Gu Yuanhe said jokingly.

Of course, this was because he had no idea that before Jun Xuyou refined the Samsara River, Zhu Daoming had already nearly destroyed the consciousness within it.

"You are very close to your male classmates from high school?" Jiang Xun's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The gatekeeper looked startled. Although the astonishment vanished in a flash, it did not escape Tang Fei's eyes.

The Second Young Master was truly no good man; coming to inspect a disaster area on short notice, he still picked and chose among the servants. As for why he specifically selected the good-looking ones, everyone understood without needing to spell it out.

Nowadays, currency exchange houses were few and far between, and the people coming and going were mostly adventurous players. They found nothing particularly strange about an establishment offering similar deposit and withdrawal services as the Han Dynasty Bank, especially since the transaction fees were identical.

Pelicans fans supported their aching lower backs, looking at Xu Xuan with a gaze full of pity, akin to looking at someone with a mental disability.

When Jiang Xun walked down the mountain to return, Ji Feng, who had come back early today, was already sitting in the dorm, fully prepared to gossip about his time on the mountain—especially the part about their mutual confession, which made Ji Feng feel quite sour.

Furthermore, she knew that Jun Xuyou's talent in alchemy was not much inferior to her own. In other words, Jun Xuyou was not only powerful in cultivation talent, but equally formidable in alchemy.

Jun Xuyou reached out, grabbed the spiritual vein, and unceremoniously stowed it into his spatial ring. He would never let such a good thing slip away.

After finishing his chores in the courtyard and washing his hands, Liang Zhenguo's very first action upon entering the house was to look for Su Shu. Cao Kang's family smiled and pointed toward the kitchen, so Liang Zhenguo turned around and headed that way.

Fearing that Liang Zhenguo might turn around and assign her a job as an accountant somewhere, Su Shu quickly clarified things with him.

However, when she concentrated her Wood-type ability into her eyes and looked again, Xia Tianlan instantly spotted the cicada nymphs crawling up the tree.

He was not someone who gossiped behind people's backs, so he hadn't mentioned what he had found out to Su Shu. He was only surprised as to how Su Shu had come to know about it.

The group of seven, who had been watching the spectacle from the back, completely failed to suppress the smiles at the corners of their mouths. Although there was an element of acting involved, it was also mixed with a genuine touch of real emotion.

Outside the city gates, a gigantic Dharma manifestation unfolded, casting the radiance of a divine halo across all things to form a black hole behind it. The mere lingering presence of a True God was enough to keep everyone present from daring to act rashly.

The replica frowned, fixing its gaze straight ahead, and then channeled its own power, driving itself to an absolute limit.

Decades ago, Western countries had already developed such devices, and many sectors in our country also produced similar products. However, the primary purpose of manufacturing them previously was for specialized applications, kept in reserve as special-supply categories.

The expert did not speak. In an instant, he made his move, pivoted on his heel, and sprinted toward the elevator lobby. The money was already in hand anyway, and since he couldn't beat them, why stay here?

The two sisters exchanged a few more polite remarks, which, in the eyes of outsiders, truly looked like a heartwarming drama of profound sisterly affection.

Xiayida knew very well that this could never be accomplished through mere hard work alone. Otherwise, why would even the outstanding seniors of the Beidu Academy be unable to complete it?

The Wei family and the Su family shared an irreconcilable blood feud. Both Wei Wen and Empress Wei blamed the death of their father, Wei Xuanzhen, on Su Yanyan. Now that they had gained power, the first thing they naturally wanted to do was take Su Yanyan's life to comfort their father's departed spirit.

Run over and kill Liu Yan with a car? Zhou Zhi slapped his forehead. A flash of inspiration hit him—why hadn't he thought of this method earlier? Besides, it would just be a traffic accident. As long as he wasn't drinking, even if he ran someone to death, he wouldn't go to prison; at most, he would just pay some money. What was the big deal about that?

Before she had time to say anything more, she felt a tingling sensation at the top of her head, and a cascade of exquisite notes spilled down from above, sounding like jade beads clinking and dropping onto a jade plate.

And he even mentioned Hongnan Mountain. Could it be... could it be that the man he met when he went back to his hometown last time to help Erleng's family repair their pigpen was their Senior Brother Sun? Wasn't he killed by the old man? And that mid-Heaven realm master—the one who injured Yuping—could it be him as well?

"It's fine. I usually sleep quite late, and it's been a long time since this place was this lively." Mo Chunhua led them inside.
