Volume One, Chapter 21: Shen Yubai, There's No More Time

In an instant, she understood what had happened. That day, some photography enthusiasts had come here for a field trip and taken many photos of the school; it must have been one of them who spread word about this place afterwards.

“Didn’t you say yesterday that you liked this hotpot? I’ve put all the ingredients, utensils, and instructions inside. In the future, even when I’m not around, you can still enjoy the things you love.” Su Qianlang smiled calmly.

Li Mofan agreed, and while Feifei was controlling the two pill furnaces, he helped her wipe the sweat from her brow and fed her an Ice Ganoderma Pill.

Feifei sneaked a smile at Chu Suiwind beside her, which made him glare at her in exasperation, his warning clear. Li Mofan, smiling quietly, took Feifei’s hand and drew her to his other side, and Feifei couldn’t help but lean against Li Mofan’s shoulder, suppressing her laughter.

“Eh?” Su Qiance was somewhat shocked. Clearly, he was surprised that the news had already spread so widely. Hadn’t the Phantom God suppressed the information?

As for the best men, the choices were Marquis Xiahou and Huang Shaohua; for the remaining candidates, Jin Chendong did not wish to trouble himself and planned to let employees of the Jin Group fill the roles.

A child’s wariness toward strangers could not possibly vanish with just a word from Qi Xiu Yu. Still hiding shyly behind her, Cang’s face remained reserved, but the curiosity in his eyes had already replaced his initial fear and unfamiliarity.

After being nurtured by the dantian and refined by the Xuantian Tree, these ninety-nine demonic swords had now become legitimate flying swords, their sword auras formidable and ready to be unleashed at any moment.

In the end, with a dark, handsome face, he sat up from the bed, grabbed the loudly ringing phone from the nightstand, and answered the call.

At this moment, the passage was sealed by a golden dragon; dazzling golden light intertwined, forming a barrier that prevented anyone from crossing the realms.

Besides, rank has its privileges. The other party was a major general, five or six ranks above his own lieutenant position. He had no idea why the other was being so polite to him. After all, Cao Degui, another of the Five Tiger Generals, was notoriously arrogant and overbearing, causing immense frustration during the Battle of Hebei.

During the era of British colonial rule in Hong Kong, the British royal family awarded honorary titles to local Chinese in order to win their loyalty, but those who could become knights were extremely rare.

Wang Zifan smiled at Zhang Guorong. He had known Mei Yanfang for a long time, having personally signed her himself, but had paid little attention since. Perhaps, to Mei Yanfang, their connection was nothing more than a brief encounter.

With a wave of his hand, crimson fireworks burst in midair, and piercing alarms immediately echoed from the distant city.

John was Ximen’s uncle, and in the 1940s served as the head of Jardine Matheson in Shanghai. Over half of Jardine’s assets in the Far East were in mainland China.

Liu Jialing nodded vigorously. She had already given up on Wang Zifan, but today he stood up for her, and she couldn’t fathom the reason.

The bald man cried out in pain, his right hand fingers now useless, causing his giant axe to fall to the ground. Furious, and unable to care about the agonizing pain of his shattered bones, he swung his axe with his left hand and, with a roar, brought it down upon Yin.

They also knew well that this was a world where the strong preyed upon the weak. No one would pity the powerless, so all they could do was sigh.

Day after day, she was branded a traitor who had betrayed her sect. From an outsider’s perspective, she truly seemed so.

Jin Tongtong kept glancing at Liu Xin, while Liu Xin’s expression was rigid, as though facing a difficult decision.

“Protector Li, how many souls under your command can you name?” Xu Hai now spoke, wishing to exert the same kind of invisible pressure as Chu Ning.

After a bite of stir-fried scallops with lingzhi mushrooms, Ye Ning found the mushrooms crisp, tender, and delicious, the scallops sweet and fresh—altogether, a pleasing taste.

A deep, rumbling voice swept through the air, carrying a wild, violent momentum that sent a wave of shock through the crowd.

Shikamaru answered cautiously, not wanting to get involved; betraying Lin Lan would bring him no benefit, so he decided to wait and see.

“Hahaha, this Daoist priest is truly eccentric and unpredictable. Some have tried to trade precious spiritual artifacts for his sword manual, but he never agreed. The gift you bring may not catch his eye,” said Lord Zheng with a laugh.

Of the three academies, Arakawa Comprehensive Academy was the strongest, ranking ninth among the Great Shang Spirit Academies. Myriad Phenomena Academy and Nether Venom Academy were placed fifteenth and sixteenth, and rumor had it that the competition between them was fierce.

Sasuke questioned again, but still received no reply, which left him rather stunned.

When Chu Nan arrived, he first saw the middle-aged man asking Liu Ruoxue if she liked a certain dress. Chu Nan approached the portly man from behind, and before Liu Ruoxue noticed him, Chu Nan’s fist landed squarely on the man.

Wu Yong gripped the Black Thunder Sword with both hands. The sword’s radiance burst forth, entwined with threads of lightning, unleashing devastating power. With a sudden slash, Wu Yong sliced the left hand of the Hongfa cultivator clean in two, as if he were cutting a potato.

Liang Ru planted one foot firmly on the ground, gazing intently at Li Fan, as though waiting for him to speak.

With changes sweeping through the Golden Splendor Empire, the imperial Long family struggled to handle matters and could do little but grant the Ye family special privileges. They even restored Zhang Tianfeng to the rank of Grand General, entrusting him with command over all the empire’s military forces.
