Especially at the end, she asked as if she had suddenly remembered, "How is the investigation into my daughter's case going?"

This left the officials from the Grand Court of Justice nearly scrambling to flee.

Su Tang remained entirely at ease.

With the culprits and witnesses already delivered, and the Grand Preceptor backing the matter, would it not be a sign of gross incompetence if they still failed to solve it?

...

In the days that followed, the weather grew increasingly hot, and gatherings among the noble families became less frequent.

The Wind and Cloud Pavilion, however, grew livelier by the day.

If Fan Qiang had no more ammunition left, then naturally, everything would be settled. Even if he continued to be evasive, Chen Xin believed that as long as there was no hard evidence, Li Xiang’s intellect would be enough to grasp the underlying meaning.

Jiang Lin realized that it was actually quite easy to discern changes in her mood; he simply hadn't been attentive enough before.

"Ding! Furret has evolved into Venomoth. Pokémon Pokédex entry for Venomoth successfully unlocked. Reward: Jigglypuff." Qingqing immediately accepted the Jigglypuff and casually tapped a Moon Stone onto its head.

As for Bai Yunshang, the leader of the Falling Moon Sect and the greatest beauty in the pugilistic world, she changed her own title the moment she saw the other party.

Since Li Xiang and the young man had been unable to inflict effective damage on the zombies even when they had weapons, it went without saying that they were now even more helpless while empty-handed.

They drank quite a bit of beer, their faces flushed with a faint, lingering glow. Liu Xu laughed and chided them, calling out loudly about something.

They were specifically chosen by Gu Yanci, tasked not only with handling daily chores but also with keeping a close watch on Song Ningyue.

As if she had already foreseen the scene to come, Maki Miyazawa wore a look of smug triumph.

The kindergarten director beamed, watching Gu Yanci’s departing figure while calculating the weight of that instruction to "take care of it."

"His Majesty has spoken to me about this matter as well. Transporting physical silver is difficult, and since Huai City is currently in the midst of a bitter winter, we have only brought silver bank notes."

Sun Buxi’s reasoning was simply not fit for outsiders; it was impossible to explain in a logical or reasonable way.

"Haha, you are truly amazing, Granny! Brother Yang is the current Crown Prince," Chen Jingchou laughed. Chen Fan had saved him so many times and provided him with so much guidance that he no longer harbored any suspicion toward him.

Watching Tom’s bitter expression, all of Sun Buxi’s anger vanished. He was now immensely grateful for the ironclad policy: "Once a virtual item is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged."

In her previous life, although she loved gourmet food, her interest was limited to tasting it. In other words, she was happy to eat, but cooking was a bit of a stretch; aside from a few simple home-cooked meals, she was incapable of anything even slightly complicated.

After the studio opened, the company brought in nearly 500,000 USD, while expenses were very limited; labor costs, commissions, and utilities amounted to less than 500,000 RMB.

Although Wang Erhei was powerful, he lacked combat experience, and thus he was easily outmaneuvered by Jin Chi.

However, this Leng Feng had hit the mark on his very first attempt; it seemed boys were indeed born geniuses at this game.

When Qiao Mimi opened her eyes, she discovered that Lu Liting was no longer on the bed.

Zheng Xuan’s pursuits were known to all. On the vast expanse of Confucian classics, his mark was left upon every passage.

She could only submit as Lu Liting wiped her back, applied body wash, and then held her as he rinsed everything off.

"It was sent by Prince Longche," Yu Zinuo said casually. But once the words were out, she felt a strange discomfort. She looked at Yan Hong in embarrassment, only to see a hint of suppressed amusement in her clear, ripple-like eyes.

Entering the villa, the first floor was quiet. Zhao Yang went up to the second floor to Ling Yuxuan’s bedroom and knocked on the door first.

Even if he had lost the competition, he wouldn't have been this furious. But now, the reputation of the Medicine God Valley was being tarnished.

The man patted Cherry on the shoulder. When Cherry turned her head and realized it was a complete stranger she had never seen before, she felt instantly puzzled.

"This is..." Li Jing looked at the orb emanating rich water-elemental energy and looked at the Whale King in confusion.
