Volume 1, Chapter 26: Harm Done to Others and Self; Mother and Daughter Meet Without Recognition Through a Door

The Regent looked astonished. "Wouldn't that be too great a grievance for you?"

His gaze lingered on Xiao Ruyan with infatuation, and he sighed, "Very well. If you truly have feelings for me, I can take you as a co-equal wife."

Xiao Ruyan had not expected such words, and her heart began to hammer wildly in her chest.

Taishan watched Hou Yu with astonishment; he had not imagined his opponent could be so formidable, capable of unleashing such immense power merely through the contraction of his muscles.

Within their field of vision, the followers of Qi Kexin surged forth from the ambush of the forest, numbering at least a hundred or more.

Reus dribbled horizontally before suddenly threading a through-ball forward. Werner cut diagonally from the center toward the flank, and under the close marking of Yan Tao, he brought the ball down with his right foot.

The Blood Ancestor’s power was truly overwhelming; even with his battle-hardened instincts and lethal, seasoned combat skills, he found himself somewhat helpless against him.

Come to think of it, Kakashi hadn't trained with Guy for a long time. He wondered how far Guy’s Eight Inner Gates had progressed.

Zhao Kai nodded, his expression devoid of hesitation. He darted forward, rescuing a disciple of the Sword Sect from a perilous situation.

Murong Yunqing and Qi Yufeng had long known of Tang Xiao's exceptional medical prowess—she never failed, being the prized pupil of the preeminent physician of the age, Sun Simiao. Seeing her confidence, they said no more, though deep down, they still found it hard to believe.

Shen Mianfeng, however, remained calm and silent. As a renowned master of the martial world, he had taken this job solely for the money. Since even Boss Wang, the only man who could command him, had said nothing, he cared little for the opinions of the others.

Ye Suiyun pondered that Granny Xiang’s purpose in seeking the Golden Register was to exact revenge on Ling Nu. Giving it directly to Yang Yuhuan would likely lead to the same outcome; Ling Nu would meet a tragic end regardless. Thus, he would not be failing Granny Xiang’s request.

"Jugo!" Karin and Naruto shouted in unison, their voices laced with anxiety; Naruto even made a move to rush forward.

Yet, she never imagined that Mu Feng was actually a direct descendant of the Duanmu Clan, one of the top aristocratic families.

Chen Mo let out a long sigh of relief. He began to look forward to the lion meat Chris would bring later. At noon, he called Chris again to ask if he could bring over the remaining tiger meat as well.

Nameless was different. Though his martial arts had been crippled and his Heavenly Sword strength completely lost, his insight into the Way of the Sword remained undiminished. Thus, with the "Return of Ten Thousand Swords," it was still possible for him to restore his power.

Ever since the news leaked, Chen Xueqian received phone calls of admonishment almost daily. Compared to these, the fanatics from certain churches acted even more extremely.

Dong Xiaojun listened, his blood boiling; he felt that if he had been there, Feng Kai would surely have lost his third leg.

The Old Master was finally able to get out of bed; his health must have improved. This should have been a good thing, yet a faint, lingering unease stirred in his heart.

Footsteps echoed outside the carriage, signaling their arrival. Once Li Hu opened the door, Zhang Jie stepped out, only to find that the carriage had stopped before a somewhat dilapidated house. At that moment, the final rays of the setting sun bathed the doorstep in light.

"Xu Yao, please don't misunderstand; that is not what I meant..." The atmosphere turned awkward, and with everyone watching, Lan Youruo did not know how to defend herself.

Director Ma was, of course, held in the general detention area, but due to his special status, he was kept in a solitary cell for his own protection. Everyone at the detention center knew why he had been brought in, so they treated him with considerable deference and respect.

Suddenly, with a series of thundering sounds, two pitch-black wooden pillars sprouted from the sides of the giant tree's trunk. They grew wildly, resembling human legs, and crashed down onto the earth, leaving two massive craters in the ground.
