Chapter 28: Without Reservation

Furthermore, a background of pure ink wash painting combined with a beauty rendered in colored ink—it seems no one has ever painted like this before.

"What is it?!" Everyone felt their hearts tighten, immediately fearing an invasion by the barbarians.

"Second Brother, you must remember, do not kill that Kamiya Long." Xiao Ming was terrified that Long Er might act impulsively and kill Kamiya Long as well, which would only lead to further trouble.

This left Tang Hao and Tang Xiao feeling incredibly awkward, even though the intelligence Tang Hao had brought back about me had already confirmed that this was indeed my personality.

The others understood what Qin Xuan was implying and nodded with smiles. They had already finished handling the sect's affairs; although they were uncertain if that day would ever come, they had still made preparations in advance. Once they left, there would naturally be others to take over the duty of guarding the sect. Everything would continue to function as normal.

Rong Yixia was terrified, but remembering that she had once dragged Yan Qing into trouble, a sense of responsibility welled up within her. She managed to suppress her urge to cry, but still crawled a few inches toward Yan Qing, wanting to touch her and warn her that someone was coming.

On Wednesday, Lin Xiaoxiao felt her pager vibrating at her waist. Taking advantage of a moment when the teacher and her classmates weren't paying attention, she took a peek. It was a message from Gu Chengyun: "The piano arrives this weekend."

"All targets are A-grade, and it only took 40 seconds! This is impossible!" a middle-aged man in a suit exclaimed as he stared at Xiao Ming's results.

The long, steady sound of water complemented the tranquility of the bridal chamber, while the bright red wedding candles shed silent tears. A delicate hand held a cup, leaving a vibrant red mark of lipstick on the white porcelain rim.

Qin Lie watched as Yu Qing walked back to the dormitory building. Before she went upstairs, she saw that he was still standing there.

"One point five million, less than a hundred units!" Lin Yun did not know how he managed to utter those words; he only felt that his lips were so dry they were about to crack.

"Does Brother Taiqian have a very good impression of Liu Xinan?" Bae Joohyun asked the crucial question; the effect of having lunch together this time far exceeded her expectations.

Recalling the warnings of those elders, everyone felt even more depressed. But what could they do? Who told them to have such a powerful father?

The Savage Bull turned abruptly, its thick arm swinging directly into Wuyan’s beast form, sending his massive body flying.

Ye Qinghuai watched as the two of them went from conflict to a handshake in the blink of an eye, as if a sudden storm had cleared into sunshine, and felt quite astonished.

It was already night, yet the wedding banquet in Dragon City was still ongoing. Even in this secluded back garden, one could hear the faint sounds of laughter and joy; it seemed the lively scene would continue until late into the night.

"Very well, I will make arrangements immediately. Get ready, and we shall depart at once!" No sooner had the advisor finished speaking than Li Ningyu nodded in agreement.

This imperial palace was built with grandeur and magnificence; the walls on all four sides were thirty feet thick and thirty feet high, with a long, narrow archway beneath the wall that resembled a tunnel.

"I know her too well. She cares most about her family; she wouldn't lose contact for no reason," Ivy said, filled with worry.

Note: A high combat rating does not mean Johnny Rico's physical fitness exceeds human limits; at most, it only reaches the absolute peak of human potential.

A-grade is known as the Calamity level; ability users who reach this degree possess powers capable of devastating entire cities.

"We're leaving. If you find any clues in the village, you can come and find us!" Song Ning instructed Wang Shitou.

Gu Yuena could not use her power to control the Silver Dragon Spear and was continuously suppressed by Yun Hao. After being forced back for the third time, Gu Yuena kept her word and ceased her attack.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jie did not hesitate to explain to Bai Xi what the true content of the wager between them was.

Xiaotian bared its teeth as it opened its eyes, only to find that it was Zhao Yi who had kicked it. It retracted its teeth, tucked its tail, and went to squat by the doorway.

At this moment, another black shadow rushed out from within the black robe. It looked exactly like the dark green-robed elder from before, and together they charged toward the opposite side.

She was afraid; if she truly asked, would it be equivalent to indirectly admitting that the relationship between her and her own nephew, Lu Shuo, was exactly as they suspected?

However, even so, everyone did not think Tang Jin would make any other major moves in the short term. After all, anyone with half a brain knew to avoid the sharp edge of the enemy's blade for now; the Emperor might tolerate you for a moment, but he would never tolerate you forever.

"Cangshu, Cangshu, you scared your father to death!" Cao Cao slumped down beside Cao Chong, trembling as he reached out his hands. Lady Huan looked at Cao Chong with tear-filled, phoenix-like eyes, yet she was overjoyed, unable to take her gaze away for even a second.

Someone sat down, and the sound of the three of them settling the bill echoed from the phone. Ye Ping stretched her foot under the table and kicked Ye Fan.

After the assistant returned from the side room, Chen Yizhong snatched the vessel from their hands without a moment’s hesitation and walked straight toward Zheng Yuqing. Holding a catheter, he drew 200cc of blood directly from Zheng Yuqing’s body.

The cold sensation of seawater seeped into my collar, and only then did I react, reaching up to wipe the water from my face.

He no longer hoped that the naval forces could save many ships; he only prayed that the army on land would not suffer too heavy a loss. If it turned out like the historical Battle of Red Cliffs, where eight out of ten ships were burned, then Cao Cao’s strength would be severely crippled.

The New Deal of the twenty-third year of An was launched nationwide, with the new-style agriculture as the leading sector. A bumper harvest was achieved that year.

"It seems the ceremony hasn't started yet." Seeing people wandering about in twos and threes outside, Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His luck seemed a bit poor today, as he had actually run into a traffic jam on the way.
