Volume 1, Chapter 54: Miss Du?

What she loved was that, true to her promise, she had returned to his line of sight and his world right on schedule. What she hated was that she had indeed given him time to adapt and accept, right up until the moment she needed to pacify him as he stood filled with murderous intent, teetering on the brink of a rampage.

"Jiang Se." Gu Qingcheng knocked on the door and entered. Hearing the sound of running water and knowing she was showering, he walked straight into the walk-in closet, as his clothes were kept there.

Muzi paced back and forth nervously in the hallway, though only ten minutes or so had passed. Gu Qingcheng's appearance felt like that of a savior, yet it also heightened her sense of the gravity of the situation.

If Huang Xing regretted marrying the Madam He, the Madam He regretted it even more deeply! The couple had lost all affection for one another, keeping their complaints silent while their hearts had long since become estranged.

Ever since the highly conspicuous ant-like legions suddenly vanished, the international community had cast astonished glances their way repeatedly, illegally employing satellite equipment and similar devices to observe the movements around Shanhaiguan.

Yet she was also a failure, because Ying Ge's plagiarism had been dragged out into the light and exposed to the public. Consequently, she was facing not only the loss of her reputation, but also potential economic and even criminal sanctions for breaking the law.

Seeing him like this, Su Yuqing felt a slight relaxation in her heart. Previously, he had harbored some lingering attachments to her; now, it seemed he had let go. This was for the best, as at least they could face each other with complete candor in the future.

Zhao Weimou, Lady Yu, and Lady Bo all stared intently at the scroll, eager to discover the secret it held.

"Any ideas?" Li Xinghua, Wang Shiqing, and Hao Fang looked at each other, pondered for a moment, but none of them spoke up.

"Qing'er, why didn't you let me know you were coming to the banquet!" Shortly afterward, this angry, deep voice suddenly rang out, causing the chubby man and Long Qing'er to turn their heads in surprise.

"I was thinking, wouldn't it be even simpler if we could blow up the devils' bridge without firing a single shot?" Shen Wanxi said.

Waiting until two exhibition workers carried away the telegraph machine, Shen Ling walked over. "Major Yang, what is this about? Are we trading the telegraph for a telephone?" Shen Ling asked.

In addition, He Hentian harbored other thoughts. Up to this point, he still had no idea whether Dongfang Jian was dead or alive. If Dongfang Jian was still alive, he could use Dugu Xiu to threaten him.

Liu Bei thought the idea was feasible, but since everyone here consisted of the elderly and the young, would they agree to having the able-bodied men drafted away? Would they feel at ease leaving their families behind?

Although she hadn't learned much in the world of the Chuanshen immortals, Daji had at least helped her escape a disaster, though she had no time to express her gratitude right now.

At the same time, Xu Tian let out a soft cry and threw himself into it wholeheartedly. This time, he went all out, gathering a force of fifty to sixty thousand catties into a single punch. Due to its sheer condensed power, this mighty force actually formed visible ripples to the naked eye, and a raging storm began to churn around his fist.

In the originally formulated plan, Li Hanqin had also intended to drag the Zhu family and Li Zongyu's family completely into the mix, thereby causing the several major families to fight among themselves like dogs biting dogs, ultimately leaving behind nothing but a mess.

Listening to Zhao Hao's words, Ye Fan couldn't help but grow excited. To be able to fight against former Emperor-level powerhouses—anyone would harbor such an ambitious aspiration.

Ye Hui couldn't help but offer a bitter smile, because by now he understood everything: this world was fundamentally incapable of attaining the Hunyuan realm, or rather, the path to achieving Hunyuan had been sealed off—sealed by Pangu himself.

Kamijou Touma thrust out his right hand, throwing a punch directly at the incoming chunk of earth and rock. It generated a faint, almost imperceptible ripple, and with a "beep," Accelerator's ability imbued in the rock was instantly negated.

"Come on, Wang Chongyang, sing a tune for us to liven things up," said the wealthy woman, treating me as if I were her personal attendant, bound to do whatever she demanded.

"Tang Yu, you unfilial wretch, look at the fine mess you've made! Tell me, why did you plunge the Tang family into such dire straits?" Tang Jinhua raged.

Thinking of this, Lin Sese suddenly burst into tears. She pulled the quilt over her head, and beneath the covers, she shook violently.

The corners of Leng Xizhe's mouth lifted into a faint smile. The greenness of a few years ago had faded away. Years of traveling the globe had tanned his skin somewhat and made his physique much sturdier.

It had only been a few months since Xiu Cheng's surgery, but she was not in a rush to have a child immediately; she simply wanted to check first whether her health had fully recovered.

Gu Kang answered the question indirectly. For some reason, now that Wen Ran knew about Mo Xiucheng's condition, he actually felt somewhat more at ease.

Wilhelmina's words barely managed to calm Matilda down, but she remained deeply resentful of the black cat's remarks, completely shattering her long spear into pieces.

I raised my head and flashed a smile. "A citizen of Shenzhou." "You—" Just as the words left his mouth, I locked my grip around his neck, hauled his tall frame over to a dark corner, and whispered, "Now, whenever I ask a question, you only get to nod, understand?" The man nodded.

Wanting to try again, yet worried that the iron python might return to cause trouble, Ye Juncai hurriedly hoisted the eggshell onto his shoulder and buried it in a secret location.

Anna's resolve was as unyielding as iron; she was unwilling to see her lover's lifelong dedication ruined overnight, nor would she ever let Elvis go to his grave bearing the eternal stigma of greedily pressing forward for undeserved glory.

"It's fine, I'm not afraid." Guzong looked out at the night scenery outside the taxi, gently touching the white skull in his hand.

Even with insufficient spiritual power, she was still able to stand off against the Heavenly Demon Guards by virtue of her exquisite ice-elemental transformation techniques, preventing them from breaking through for the time being.

Then, Meng Shuai lunged forward and bit down viciously on Ji Xuzhen's neck like a wild beast. The bite elicited a scream from Ji Xuzhen so agonizing that it didn't even sound human.
