Chapter 37

I looked up at her in a panic, but she had already gone numb. There was not a shred of tenderness left in her eyes; it was as if she had suffered a crushing blow, leaving her speechless.

"Sister-in-law, why bother saving her? It was her own foolish arrogance that led her to court disaster!" Youlan said indignantly, walking to the edge of the pool and glaring at Yi'er, who looked like a drowned chicken.

"Is that Yangyang?" Old Grandpa Wang, seeing Yangyang appear in the room, was startled at first, then smiled as if he were looking at his own kin. Clearly delighted by the visit, he struggled to sit up.

With that, the examiner pulled a list from the table nearby and pointed to the name of a third-grade elixir on the list.

"What is it?" Bao'er moved closer, following his gaze as the old man observed, listened to, questioned, and felt the pulse of the patient, feeling somewhat puzzled.

There was no heartbeat, no thrill. Unlike before, Fu Sinian knew this embrace was born only of guilt and pity, not love.

After returning home, they showered, changed, and headed to their respective jobs. Reporters had been lurking at the entrance of the Chen residence; they weren't there during the early morning mountain walk, but by 6:30, they had all appeared at the gate, capturing photos of the two as they left.

It was late at night when she finally woke up. She had slept for quite a long time. She recalled that while the Spring Festival period had been a break, it had been more exhausting than any other time. Things were much easier now; at least she didn't have to face that large bowl of medicinal soup from Fu Jin every day.

The pale yellow ointment, with its cooling scent, traveled slowly from the palms Xiao Caifu used to massage Chu Qing to his wounds. A cooling sensation spread, and the pain in his wounds quietly subsided.

Being thrust from a nameless, bullied odd-jobber into such an important role was more than she could process all at once.

Still, how should one put it? The arrival of Master Pi was truly like a sudden waterspout churning up a calm lake; though manic and boisterous, it seemed to instantly dispel the coldness and monotony that had settled over Chang'an Alley.

If not for the Twelve-Pupil Evil God getting in the way and the interference of the void energy within the aquarium, this guy would have been finished off countless times already. A weakling who barely touched the edge of the "Ferocious" level had no business jumping around before his eyes.

Yet, given the strength the Dragon Clan had shown so far, besides the Dragon King himself, who could possibly defeat the Scarlet Dragon?

The shield could deflect Radon's sudden attacks, meaning it was difficult for anything to catch him off guard.

The battle gradually descended from the distant sky toward the ground. As the distance closed, Xu Zhexin's heroic posture became clearly visible to the millions of eyes watching.

Although it could not move on its own, the Zerg General led an army of Zerg to scavenge for food for the Hive. Everywhere they went, nothing remained; whether human or monster, all were reduced to fodder.

In an instant, Xu Zhexin, Zhaofeng, Kong Ling'er, and Xu Youle, who had come to greet them, stopped at the entrance of the council hall.

Moreover, even if hit, she possessed antibodies while her "Gaia Armor" was active, granting her immunity to all control spells, such as those causing dizziness or weakness.

Lu Tao stroked Ren Ying's hair gently, like a big brother. In his eyes, there was nothing but the affection of a brother for his sister, without a trace of any other emotion.

Since it was a decision from above, You Chu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the new dimensional crystal.

Feng Nan calculated that it was Friday, so Li Zi could get off work early. According to their agreement, Li Feng should be taking the children for a walk, giving her the breathing room she longed for.

After Fang Yu and the others felt the effects, they found it quite good; at least they didn't have to memorize things themselves, which was a relief. In the afternoon, they planned to go to the Martial Arts Department together.

"Hey, you were the one who was full and bored enough to ask me to stay, weren't you?" Li Zhifeng immediately protested loudly.

Mo Yu looked at the dark shadows in the distance and said happily, "They're here!" With that, she leaped down from the tree, and Chu Zijin followed.

Mei Yunsue briefly recounted the day she had fought the master of the Flying Eagle Sect and shared what they had discovered.

Mo Xiao handed the car keys directly to Li Jinlong. She had changed her car to a larger SUV than the previous one.

Li Feng looked carefully at each point she had thoughtfully marked. Confirming that Li Man met all the enrollment requirements, he clapped his hands in delight and immediately emailed Tang Huanhuan, asking her to do him the honor of having dinner that evening.

Fang Mu greeted Xia Tu, sheathed his sword, and turned around, not even sparing a glance at the corpse of Liang Rui.

So, when Hachiman came to see her the next day, Sakura felt extremely happy in her heart. She knew then that "love is selfish," and waiting idly would never yield results.

I felt my hands begin to tremble beyond my control. The gut-wrenching screams in the video began to turn into waves of heat rushing into my mind.

Thus, Qin Lan, unable to open her eyes, tried her hardest to sit up, but her body did not move at all; however, there were slight movements in her body and fingers.

Tian Yunxia nodded to show she understood. I communicated with the Yin-Eater; the creature seemed quite excited and happily took the lead.

"But I want to be with you, Han Ling. I was wrong. I shouldn't have made that decision back then. Now, I regret it so much. Han Ling, please give me another chance. I never want to miss you again," Yang Shizhong said with deep sincerity.

The Qin Gate's territory spanned the two provinces of Xijiang and Zhejiang. Among them were five hall masters, known as the "Five Sons of Qin Gate." They were well-known figures in the underworld, though they were also nicknamed the "Five Rats of Qin Gate." People in the underworld could not stand the light, so the rat was a very fitting symbol.

The people at the two hundred tables in the banquet hall all turned their heads in a hurry, seeing a tall man—or rather, a boy—rush in through the door.
