Volume 1, Chapter 39: The Foolish Woman

Chen Fan did not tell Ye Qingcheng the truth about the mine, fearing that if he did, this brainless woman with a big chest would let it slip. If that happened, his plan would be declared a failure before it even began. He did not want to take that risk. He hoped this foolish woman would listen to what he said; otherwise, his two billion would go down the drain. However, Ye Qingcheng’s prejudice against him was too deep, and it was likely she wouldn't listen to him, so Chen Fan felt it necessary to have a word with the Old Matriarch and ask her to persuade Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng watched Chen Fan’s departing back, stamping her feet in anger. Jiang Dong, seeing that Ye Qingcheng had not returned from the restroom for a long time, came out to look for her and happened to witness this scene. "Was that who just left..."

Wang Zhijun was thick-skinned. Since he had already refused to admit that they had knocked Yang Ping unconscious earlier, they could continue to talk nonsense about the food issue now. After all, Yang Ping had been knocked out at the time, and he hadn't seen anything, nor was there any evidence to prove it was their doing.

It was heard that Hu Tian’s company wanted him to take on a major production recently, so most of his time was spent at the set for costume fittings, meaning the time available for filming commercials was squeezed out. For both Hu Tian and Zhou Xiao’s company, this time was extremely precious.

Taken away at birth, Ming Rong had not spent much time with the Princess Consort. As a mother, she wanted to keep her daughter by her side for a few more days, yet she was unable to accompany her.

"I’ll let you off this time. Come, I’ll take you all to buy some clothes." Bu Yi shook her head and pointed to the shop she had just taken a liking to nearby; the clothes in that embroidery house were the most beautiful.

Moreover, the land-based aircraft carrier had not been built yet. Such a massive warship, floating on the sea while sustaining the food and drink of so many people, was also a difficult challenge.

However, Zhang Qian and Wang Zhijun were different from Zhu Jianqiang; he did not think Ding Yi was doing this to hog the roasted pheasant for himself. He was certain that Ding Yi must have discovered something amiss.

Netizens on various major live-streaming platforms for the matches were also engaged in frantic discussions upon seeing RNG’s first two picks.

Furthermore, Bu Yi noticed the presence of the media. Clearly, this aristocratic wedding was also a way for the empire’s top brass to announce to the entire population that they were now bound together.

If Khan Wang eventually buckled under the pressure and agreed to declare war, then once the conflict broke out, those noble tribes could simply sit back and watch the tigers fight from the mountain.

The current Duan Fei already controlled both the Heaven and Earth Valley and the mysterious secret realm; he was practically the de facto controller of the Bloodline Secret Realm. He could even modify the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and thus, the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth were naturally suppressed by him.

The city was naturally even more chaotic. Commander Chen was terrified of any leaks, his eyes fixed on the lips of the officers under his command, fearing they might say something they shouldn't.

Chen Xiao’s mind wandered. Of course, he was always like this, and these thoughts appeared only for an instant, not wasting any time.

However, news of Gao Yangya Jun leading the expedition in person with only a thousand cavalrymen had already been spread.

Behind him came a sound, and a hole appeared through Lin Fan’s chest. It was a shocking sight, and one could even see a damaged, yet still beating, heart.

It was clear that the collected power of faith served the great beings who created this world, rather than simply benefiting these Order Guardians for free.

"Things you can't figure out can be thought about later. Sometimes, when a person gets stuck in a dead end, they just can't understand. But if you step back, you might figure it out in an instant by chance," Hua Wuxiang said.

At this moment, the fight between Gamora and Lucy had completely stopped—or rather, it was just Lucy being unilaterally abused.

There was also the navy of the Arab Umayyad Dynasty, which occupied two-thirds of the Iberian Peninsula.

People in officialdom were well aware of such lethal petitions; they were signals of an open break and a duel.

"What is the price?" After setting up a barrier to prevent news from leaking, Dailin asked with a solemn and somewhat urgent expression.

"Of course! I saw they had already prepared a big pot; I reckon it would be more than enough to boil the four of us together," Huyan Bole said, gesturing exaggeratedly with his hands. He had been the first to be brought here and had nearly been eaten by the True Demon tribe.

Therefore, the differing opinions of Li Shiqi and Zhang Liang represented the struggle between two different schools of thought, and ultimately, the struggle between two different systems.

One could see the pitch-black Tang saber illuminated by the blood energy, glowing red as if it had been forged in a furnace.

At this time, Tang Zhong knew nothing; he hadn't heard everything the Ten Flame Dragon Soldiers had said earlier.

In the final round of the Premier League, Leicester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth at home, and the Foxes finished the season in 12th place.

Who would have thought that Feng Xiaoxiao would ignore Tang Zhong entirely? A bewitching smile spread across her lips as she slightly extended her tongue to lick them, reaching out to stroke Tang Zhong’s chest.

If this Chinese man were no longer "busy," the first person he would accept an interview from would surely be Lawrence, who had helped him.

At this point, Tang Zhong had no intention of wasting any more breath on Dante and prepared to leave.

The tough battle against Noble Consort Xie had only just truly begun. Regardless of who was right or wrong, the Emperor’s favor remained the most important weight on the scale; Consort De could not afford to miss it.

The night was silent, and the moonlight lay like white silk over the Qionghua palace. Rocking chairs were moved into the courtyard, and the maids and nannies served from a distance. The family of four, having suddenly reunited, were reluctant to sleep and continued to drink tea and talk under the lamplight, the conversation still going strong.

Hearing the system prompt ring in his ears, Xiang Heguang slowly crawled up from the ground, shocked and bewildered by this series of events.

The first time, they had fallen in love in the back garden of the Ouyang family. So today, Ouyang Tian led Xuanyuan Lan to revisit the old place, accompanying her through the back garden once more to reminisce about the shy affections of those years.

Now, the Mountain within a Mountain, the Land of Destiny, had also emerged in the desolate region. Moreover, he had encountered miasma when he left the outer sect, filled with death energy. Logically, such ominous things should be very rare, yet he had encountered them easily, showing that some rules were being broken.

"I know everything now." Under Aunt Liu’s surprised gaze, I briefly recounted what I had heard from Brother Liu and the others. Since I only needed to make Aunt Liu understand my meaning, I didn't go into a long-winded explanation.

On the red-carpeted path lined with pine and crane motifs, she and Consort De walked hand in hand, chatting happily. They only smiled and said their goodbyes when they reached the carriage, and she waved slightly toward Tao Zhuohua.
