That cascade of beautiful hair streamed down her back, swaying in the biting cold wind. Her face was pale, and her eyes held a lifeless glaze. She raised her head and gave a hollow, apathetic glance toward the Taoist temple on the highest peak, her expression entirely devoid of emotion as she lowered her head and continued her ascent.

After school, Yang Yibu received an invitation from Principal Gao Yuanhang. At the principal's home, it was just the two of them.

Wen Zhiyuan smiled slightly without answering. Lian Zhi perceived Wen Zhiyuan's thoughts; the path he was currently treading was far from easy, and anyone accompanying him on this journey would only face even greater peril. Wen Zhiyuan was unwilling to drag others down into danger alongside him.

The seven slow-drifting lights of the Spirit Realm in the high sky together constructed a complete yet mysterious Spirit Realm.

Qin Cang dared not presume upon favor despite coming out ahead, serving Gu Shu with even greater diligence. Even the Empress Dowager could not resist teasing them about it when she saw them.

Though they were mentally prepared, hearing Wu Jun's words still left everyone feeling somewhat nervous and disappointed.

Ye Hao sensed the aura of the Chaos Body Forging Art. Having reached the peak of Qi Condensation himself, a marvelous sensation bloomed within his heart.

Dong Ru's face was pale. Ever since arriving at the Wei residence in the morning, one targeted incident after another had been directed at her. She was already overwhelmed, and coupled with homesickness and the shock caused by Jiang Xueyao, she was now utterly exhausted.

Then he saw him standing there with a cold, expressionless stare, completely dumbfounded... What on earth was he doing? Locking the door was one thing, but why pull down the curtains as well?

Once filming began, Qin Ying would instantly step into the role of chief director, completely different from his usual self.

None of them knew what the final edited footage would actually look like, so everyone felt a bit nervous inside.

Given the precedents of Zhang Liao speaking up to help him on several previous occasions, Zhang Liao held not the slightest bit of guardedness toward Lin Chao at this moment; instead, he assumed Lin Chao was about to offer him some guidance.

Aside from a tranquility resembling an ancient well, it seemed impossible to catch any other emotion within Lin Qiu's eyes.

Just as he was contemplating quietly slipping away from this place of right and wrong, an extra shadow appeared on the ground beside him.

At the end of last year, pursued by Liu Yu, Zhang Ju suffered a disastrous defeat and ultimately fled alone on horseback beyond the frontier. With this, the rebellion was completely quelled, yet Zhuge Gui still could not understand why the imperial court had not yet issued a decree to punish him.

Quan Zhiyong stared at his phone screen for a while before tossing it aside. However, when the screen lit up once again, he hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

This left Qin Ying utterly perplexed, though he did not dwell on it, attributing it simply to overthinking.

Yet Ouyang Xiao's phone either would not connect or lacked a signal, leaving Lin Qiu somewhat panicked.

Inside the Feather Transformation Heavenly Palace, everyone from the Liu family waited quietly within, not even daring to breathe loudly. The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme, and the hall remained dead silent.

The traffic police repeatedly asked questions without receiving any response, leaving them with no choice but to question the eyewitnesses who had been standing nearby all along.

"Brother Xiaoran, what are you thinking about so intently?" Qing Ling asked curiously, looking at Lin Xiaoran who had lowered his head in deep thought for a long time.

Lei Ming tilted his head and scratched it. It seemed everyone held a poor opinion of Dong Qingqing, and his own reputation was even more dismal—in their eyes, he was merely good-for-nothing trash within the clan, the sort of incompetent who did not even warrant vigilance.

The three drivers were genuinely nervous about this move! Yet seeing me standing there with a smile still on my face, they suppressed their urge to strike and let Niu Da charge right at them.

Last night, Rias, who had suddenly arrived at Ryusei's house, told Ryusei and Asia to change their clothes immediately. The other companions had already gathered, and early in the morning, they used a magic circle to teleport to the foot of the mountain.

Amidst his annoyance, Jiang Yin absentmindedly tossed the Shennong cauldron he had been toying with in his hand, and only then did he slap his forehead in realization.

"Oh my, what a huge misunderstanding this is." Ryusei chuckled inwardly, while his expression remained entirely unchanged. He still wore that gentle smile, his clear pupils reflecting the images of the person he loved and the people who loved him.

However, when floods struck their newly migrated lands once again, the common people had no choice but to migrate back. With people moving back and forth like this, the populace could never live and work in peace, which deeply troubled Emperor Ku.

Hou Zhangfang's parents expressed their support; after all, they were already fretting over his university tuition fees for September! Hearing their son say he could earn his tuition by running a training class actually brought a sigh of relief.

"Just getting into the elite class isn't enough; you must also get into a 'Project 985' university like him, and ideally the University of Technology just like him!" Liao Deshen said.

As the saying goes, grievances are better settled than kept alive, and under the persuasion of the shareholders on his side, Ye Xiao was forced to end his grueling battle with N-Corporation.

The signing ceremony and charity press conference would be held at the Peninsula Tokyo, where Japanese television networks, newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets would all be present in full force to cover and broadcast the event.

After Veron, the old manager had lost his taste for such technical players, as this type of footballer seemed to struggle with adapting to the English Premier League.

Saddam, who had just been dragged out from hiding, was full of beards and covered in dirt, bearing a distance of a hundred thousand miles from his former image of a Middle Eastern overlord.

These two matters resulted in Xiang Yu refusing to enfeoff Tian Rong as a feudal king and instead installing others, leaving Tian Rong naturally resentful and unconvinced.

Xu Shaoyu was not afraid of Daoist Chu. For one, he felt this Daoist was somewhat unorthodox, but fundamentally not a malicious person; moreover, if Xu Shaoyu were to forcibly elevate his strength, slaying Daoist Chu would be an effortless task.

Subsequently, Liang Yi listed a total of eight charges, some of which could be overlooked, while others had already met the threshold for impeachment. The two counts of perverting the law for personal gain and embezzlement alone were burdens he could not possibly shoulder.

"Hey, did you just see a demonic beast pass by?" one of them asked menacingly.

Although she stubbornly believed her talent was peerless and number one under heaven, she had to admit that that person's talent was barely comparable to her own.

Green Vegetable Cocoa: The hunting season is coming up soon. I heard the combat power of an adult razor-boar is equivalent to a tier-four martial artist. Is anyone forming a party?

When the gentle north wind blew away the gunpowder smoke, Luo Hu caught a faint whiff of blood, while the array of Qin Lang's army opposite remained steadfast.

Historically, after every military campaign, he would leisurely return to the capital to recuperate, alongside figures like Ajige, Haoge, Jilhalang, Bolo, Nikan, and Mandahai.

Wisps of smoke were rising from the courtyard of Lu Li's home, where a family of three was huddled by a fire brewing meat soup. Suddenly, the fence gate was kicked open, startling all three beastmen.
