Chapter 38: Influence of One's Surroundings

No one can resist the temptation of plump, fresh fruit!

Jiang Jingzhu bought two pounds of lychees, a pound of longans, a pineapple, and three mangoes. The enthusiastic vendor even threw in a coconut for free. Her small bamboo basket was packed to the brim, and the whole lot cost less than two yuan, with no ration coupons required. The prices were so incredibly reasonable that she couldn't help but feel the urge to keep shopping!

"Hahaha..." Even after walking a long distance, Zhang Jing couldn't stop laughing. She had also bought two mangoes and two pounds of longans, piggybacking on...

I gave him a silent, sidelong glance: he stood there motionless; which eye of yours could tell he was formidable?

However, Chen Baijue was kind-hearted by nature and grateful to his mother. He never looked down on her; instead, he became even more protective. Zhao Xiangqi had never spoken to him about the past, so Chen Baijue had remained under a misunderstanding for all these years.

Shifeng paused, momentarily stunned. He knew he was being overly polite, but he had assumed it was merely a matter of etiquette, the proper respect due to Shen Yan.

The rolling rooftops of the Prince's Mansion rose and fell under the sunlight. The glazed tiles of the Red Sleeve Pavilion shimmered with iridescent light.

I never expected that not only did she manage to keep Helian Cheng’s son, but she is now the Empress Dowager. Mo Lianyi, I want to see how you will fight me from now on. Ha, I fear there is no longer a place for you in this Great Xia.

It had always been him ensuring she slept soundly, but this time, as he gently held the girl, Duan Shiyi finally drifted off to sleep.

After work, Lu Mochuan and I went to the vegetable market. We didn't call home, planning to give my parents a surprise. Unexpectedly, my right eyelid kept twitching incessantly, leaving me feeling flustered and uneasy.

"Your Majesty, did the Snow Wolf King reach some sort of agreement with the Nine-Spirit Primal Saint?" Jin Hu asked in a low voice as soon as he sat down, addressing the Purple Tiger Demon Saint.

Early the next morning, Jian Rong, whom I hadn’t seen for months, appeared in front of the Qingwei Palace. I was unexpectedly delighted to hear he had arrived, and I hitched up my skirt and ran out, the Heavenly Lord’s soul of affection following close behind me.

He couldn't remember how much he had drunk, or even how he had managed to reach the guest room.

As for those with pale faces, some even retching, they were naturally the trainees he was leading.

Beneath the night sky, this torchbearer of the Southern Reform lowered his head and gazed silently ahead. If nothing unexpected happened, the laborers of the Fourth Watch would, like those before them, die in battle at the foot of Tunlang Pass.

The man clapped his hands softly, and two figures appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing, blocking her retreat. This place was far too secluded.

Xiao Hongyi nodded and instructed the people sent by Tianhe Company to prepare and cooperate with Bai Yanan’s work.

Therefore, he did not watch the final bloody scene of the tiger demon’s pounce; instead, he quickly slapped a Godspeed Talisman onto himself, flashed, and appeared twenty meters away.

If his strength was truly as it had appeared in the first two rounds, then he was indeed a target Real Madrid should pursue.

Of course, this was the first time Yue Weiguo had paid such close attention to the shifts in Ji Yuanhai’s situation, regarding him as a pivotal figure.

Although the family permitted competition among its descendants, such underhanded, harmful tactics were strictly forbidden.

The second time was when the martial artists came to claim Master Feng's head; during the slaughter, this young man in white robes stood atop the roof tiles.

Therefore, even though Wang Zhuyun had "crossed the line" today by meddling in the couple's private affairs, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling had to cherish their old friendship and consider her feelings; they could not afford to let their relationship with her grow cold.

A strand of the Primordial Essence of all things rose from the body of the Origin, condensing and taking shape to form an illusory world—a world of chaotic void, containing nothing and devoid of all things.

The pizza crust was crispy, as were the edges, but the center was impossibly soft. Even without eating the pepperoni on top, it could barely count as a pastry.

Although the previous Karma Fire Red Lotus hadn't been of any help to him, since he had already promised to treat Liu Jingdong, he naturally could not go back on his word.
