Chapter 27: Quite Lively, Isn't It?
Lu Jingyuan looked at the meal beside his hand and suddenly lost his appetite. He stood up and returned to his room.
Lu Dashan watched Lu Jingyuan’s departing figure and swallowed a mouthful of rice in large bites. The young master had it tough, studying diligently in the academy during the day, and now, before even finishing his meal, he was back at his studies.
After eating his fill, Lu Dashan tidied up. Just as he finished, he saw Lu Jingyuan come out again, holding a wooden stick, practicing sword moves in the courtyard.
“Young master, I’m here~”
Han Pianqian shifted her gaze to the doorway, where two trunks sat—packed by Gu Nian. She noticed Phil, who had followed them in, glance at the trunks and whisper something to Xiao Jingchen, whose expression subtly changed.
This was originally an excellent opportunity for the Dustless Transcendence Realm, but he relinquished it in an entirely different and extreme way, causing a great disaster.
Yet, unable to determine the exact mining field, Westgate Jinlian felt a sense of defeat. Having seen so much jadeite rough, she still couldn’t identify the field—an undeniable failure.
A primal fruit was indeed precious, but with the conversation reaching this point, anyone else would have given in for the sake of appearances.
Activating the teleportation array required the city lord’s personal involvement. The Holy Spirit had already spoken to Lord Skyleaf of Skyleaf City, and as an angel, the city lord naturally answered the Holy Spirit’s requests without question.
He walked silently in the darkness. The space seemed vast—he hadn’t hit a wall, so he just kept walking. Memories of his last death flickered in his mind, but he couldn’t recall such a scene. Scratching his head, he thought, Am I not dead yet?
Back when Tang Yun was abducted, and soon after her return was found to be pregnant, the scandal spread everywhere. Old Madam Huang was bold, relying on her mistress’s family power, and never spared a sharp word for Xiao Lang, who, under house arrest and having lost Xiao Ling’s trust, endured her constant scorn.
He wandered along the street, glancing east and west. The roadside stalls were neatly arranged in a row. Though many cultivators were present, there was no sense of chaos or noise.
At that moment, Aphrodite heard Hephaestus’s voice echo in her mind. After listening, a trace of surprise crossed her face. She glanced at Ling Feng, who stood with arms crossed, watching the commotion, a flash of doubt in her eyes.
Augustine, who had been depressed for so long, broke into a smile when Zella brought him the news.
Upon returning to Dillon City, our group headed to the Mercenary Guild. Now, the title of the Free Wanderers Mercenary Group commanded real prestige. People parted to clear a path for us, and the head of the guild in Dillon, upon hearing we were coming, had long since come out to greet us at the door.
Han Rong acted so suddenly that before anyone could react, his skull had already been shattered.
To remake Earth, the Sapiens worked for a hundred years, overcoming numerous difficulties, greatly improving their use of cognitive energy, and unlocking unprecedented potential.
When he finished, he looked up at the dark clouds—storm clouds pressed overhead, thunder crashed down, and rain was imminent.
Stone Third, seizing the opportunity, swiftly gathered eighty percent of his cognitive power, sweeping up broken weapons and blades from the ground, compressing them into a cluster of gray mist.
When Nan Shu returned home, as soon as she opened the door, a scorpion at the threshold wagged its tail at her.
The clash of the two primordial giants was devastating, sinking the entire Chaos Sea domain; time and space collapsed and ceased to exist.
Cheng Yu’s suggestion was quite offensive: appointing Chen Jing as governor of Liangzhou would undoubtedly weaken the authority of the local generals. Once they learned it was Cheng Yu who recommended Chen Jing, resentment would surely follow.
“Morpheus, I’ve told you many times: though you’re my chief guard, don’t barge in without permission, especially when I’m here!” Nami reminded coldly.
Clang! The knife fell. Luo Xue glanced down; a long blade had pierced her body.
Gu Qian nodded at the words and let the person go, handing him a transmission jade, telling him to contact her if needed.
Inside, Li Jing sat at the head, one hand propped on the tall red-lacquered table, the other resting on the arm of the lacquered chair. His back was straight as a pine, eyes narrowed, silent.
Seeing this, Wallace, who had been closely following behind, leapt with all his might, like a fierce tiger pouncing on Yang Ke, aiming straight for the basketball in his hands.
Gradually, Tang Ye’s steps slowed. With each step, the pressure on his body intensified. After three slow strides, he finally halted, realizing he’d reached his limit.
The letter Ping wrote in private she hadn’t given to her mother, only mentioned it in passing, saying Ping had set his sights on Xianghua.
“It seems you want nothing at all.” The Lord of the Hall of Enchantment sneered. At these words, Tang Ye’s face contorted with embarrassment.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Ke faced the towering and heavy Charlie Villanueva, holding the ball in his right hand, simulating an outward dribble, all while keeping his right arm as straight as possible, his palm hovering above the ball.
The biscuits and pastries business was left to Yu Jing, who managed everything capably, leaving her with no worries. The woodwork shop she’d set up for her father was running smoothly, with daily sales—much less trouble now.
The maid accompanying the dowry represented Yan Ruyue’s reputation. No matter how much she disliked Qingxue, Yan Ruyue couldn’t be too harsh in her discipline.
Chang Shuangqing never questioned Ling Bai’s requests, caring little whether past mistakes might be repeated.
Compared to other memorials, the Martial Emperor valued the two volumes of “Court Deliberations” most highly.
As the chaotic energy entered Lu Chen’s dantian, his strength soared rapidly.
Still, Xing, being a promising child and the youngest legitimate son of a distinguished family, had a bright future.
Thus, this world was merely a dispensable one created for the sake of a task. If the method was right, even its destruction was possible. As for that method… Liu Xin herself would never obtain it; only that one person could give it to her.
The hunters descended the mountain in twos and threes. Passing the village entrance, they greeted the waiting villagers as usual, chatted about the day’s catch, and then carried their game home.
The room was in complete disarray. All the ornaments and utensils on the antique shelves had been smashed to pieces, and the flagstone floor was so littered with debris there was nowhere left to step.
Previously, Hongyun Pavilion couldn’t attract late-stage Qi practitioners mainly due to the lack of Foundation resources. Now, with the Yan Trading House settling in, many late-stage Qi cultivators would surely move here, not to mention the various clans and sect disciples.
After the man in black finished speaking, the bride also fell silent, seemingly unable to refute him.
Dill instantly leapt aside, watching the “restless” iron pot with a stern gaze from a distance.
