Xiao Yu and Xiao Yun also expressed their agreement, as all three of them were men who loved excitement and possessed a strong gambling streak.
People who love to gamble always harbor wishful thinking, constantly imagining how wonderful things would be if they somehow succeeded. They rarely contemplate how to face adversity should they fail. Of course, regardless of success or failure, refusing to try at all is the greatest failure of all.
Thus, the three of them decided to attend the birthday celebration at the Red Maple Escort Agency. As for the congratulatory gift...
Because the stone platform was suspended mid-air and the commotion caused by its miraculous transformation was simply too immense, almost all the survivors within Xuejia Realm halted whatever they were working on and focused their attention on the pitch-black stone platform.
As the only supernatural power Xiao Feng had ever utilized within Xuejia Realm thus far, Xue Ning believed that this person named Qiu Zuo must hold extraordinary significance for Xiao Feng.
Not knowing what had happened, my parents hurried over upon hearing my cries. Seeing me held in Qiao Yu's arms, my mother furrowed her brow and repeatedly asked what was wrong and what had happened.
Richard glanced at him and instantly guessed his intentions. Given Jue Wushen's temperament and strength, he would certainly not lower himself to act as the vanguard opening the path; these three masked men in gold ought to be Jinchaluo, Juexin, and Mingdong.
"We've arrived! Look, over there!" Having performed a good deed, Sun Xiuyuan was in high spirits. He pointed toward a Chainis person who was undergoing firearms shooting training alongside a marine, and then walked away.
The Grand Supreme Laojun mentioned a thousand merits precisely because the last time the Flood Dragon Demon King wanted the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, he had demanded ten million merits from Ji Yang.
"We are merely acting on the orders of Young Master Yang Tai, there is no need to thank us." After saying this, the commander disconnected the communication channel and led the massive, formidable fleet toward the Ifrit Star Gate.
Dong Chang said nothing. With a fierce glare at Matsushima Kaku, he turned around and stalked off in anger, as Qin Tian was already nowhere to be seen.
He could sense that Li Xunhuan no longer held any romantic love for Lin Shiyin in his heart; the reason he kept Lin Shiyin and her son at the Li Estate stemmed from a complex mix of various emotions. Although Long Xiaoyun was dead, Li Xunhuan did not harbor the same intense aversion toward him as Richard did.
The staff member looked toward Chen Weiwei. If this wealthy second-generation heir was willing to take a step back, it would be a joyous occasion for everyone.
Yet for some unknown reason, just as victory was within their grasp, he actually vanished, leaving not a trace behind.
Madame Da Jin was somewhat dazed. Now that Xie Pu had been acquitted and released without charge, could it be that the authorities refused to return the confiscated houses and property?
Though devoid of human warmth, what she stated clearly constituted a sense of responsibility toward the former employees.
I had thought myself composed enough to face it, yet I never expected my voice to be so hoarse the moment I spoke, sounding like the final gasps of someone in agonizing pain.
If someone were observing from the outside, they would be astonished to discover no trace of them here, as if they had vanished entirely from the mortal world.
Right at that moment, the new monarch, Zhu Sheng, sent someone to summon Xiao Mingde for a conversation. Naturally, Xiao Mingde had to obey the imperial decree. Although it was inconvenient for Zhu Rui to follow, he could not help wondering what his imperial father would say to his uncle.
"It's called the Tomb of Surrendered Soldiers, encountered in the Binyang Wasteland," Xing Liuyun replied with a smile, speaking the truth. There was nothing that brought him more joy than seeing Leng Xiaofeng look like this.
Xiao Mu, Xiao Zhuang, and Lin Xue all nodded. As for Xiao Yue, he nodded as well; after all, undergoing an epiphany that lasted this long while also boosting his cultivation realm—if others were to find out, it would inevitably breed malicious thoughts.
After coming out and casting a satisfied look at the plates in our hands, An Lingxi dragged us right back inside.
Stepping out of the hospital, it was already eleven o'clock at night. Although it seemed rather inappropriate to visit so late, after turning it over in his mind and remaining uneasy, Shen Yingjie still decided to make a trip to the evidence room to cozy up with that fellow surnamed Gao whom Sun Zhiling had mentioned.
