33 Impure World Reincarnation: Hashirama

To dare to look one's desires in the eye and acknowledge them, yet still maintain the discipline to control them—that is a rare virtue indeed.

Wu Sangui had not expected things to proceed so smoothly. They had waited only a short while before the Li family army’s phalanx parted, creating a gap for them to enter.

This self-service barbecue restaurant costs only fifty-nine yuan per person. Everything except alcohol is included in the price, which is quite affordable for the common folk. The shop is well-known in the vicinity of the university, and despite it being four in the afternoon—hardly a traditional dining hour—the place was already nearly full.

It was not that he was fastidious, but ever since he had mastered the art of cooking, his standards for fine food had become exceptionally high.

The seasonings had been purchased long ago. Li Mu took out a piece of meat to thaw, washed some Shanghai bok choy, and then, with a hint of clumsiness, proceeded to heat the pan and pour in the oil.

But upon reflection, Du Kai speculated that perhaps the system itself did not know whether this trial mission posed any danger, and thus had no answer to his question.

At first, Du Kai had questioned the alien entity politely, but the creature remained stubbornly uncooperative, refusing to speak. With no other choice, Du Kai had to activate the electric shock device.

The creditor is king. Lin Chi decided that once she had earned the 150 million required to settle the matter of the plate, she would turn against him on the spot.

After passing the police cordon, the streets were filled with various law enforcement officers. Li Mu was occasionally stopped for questioning; after all, her appearance did not exactly scream "I am here to help."

Ye Tiantian saw the person blocking the path behind the Infant Crone and sighed with regret—it was only by a hair's breadth that the crone had escaped death.

Having spent so much time with Feng Wushuang, Zhang Tianyi naturally knew exactly what was on the other’s mind.

In a massive conference room, all the leaders were gathered, each of them wearing a grave, if not solemn, expression.

Every night before bed, she would bolt the door from the inside. Qin Jianguo had broken in before... could he have picked the lock?

"Heh, you old fellow, you insist on calling me here, yet you arrive later than anyone else. Truly detestable," the Taoist Sect Leader said with a chuckle.

Xi did not allow Chu Xiu to refuse; she supported Su Qin as they headed out. However, the way she gnashed her teeth worried Chu Xiu deeply. This girl—she wouldn't try to eat Su Qin halfway there, would she?

Three days ago, Wang Lixian received a letter from home and left in a hurry, not even taking his son with him. Aside from the legendary talent Wang Penghua, Wang Lixian’s other sons were nothing but fools. Guo Yi felt quite at ease; looking at the foolish demeanor of Wang Penghua, it seemed that after this generation, the Fen Prefecture Wang clan would be finished.

"Jing Prefecture is so vast; this cannot be counted as credit. Besides, the goods have already been distributed; it is only a matter of time before they turn a profit," Nangong Yuyan emphasized.

Just as Wang Qi tried to pull his hand away to defend himself, Leopard grabbed his arms, rendering him unable to move.

Qin Feng reined in his impulse to "expose" the system, then let out a soft breath of relief, feeling a lingering sense of fear.

In high-altitude combat, unless the Japanese district's puppeteers had flying puppets to contend with them, others—such as swordsmen or low-level genin—could cause no harm to the Red Flag Army's aerial forces.

"Heh, goodbye." Tian Zhihen smiled lightly and struck him with a Dual-Element Slash, sending him straight to the Western Paradise.

Inside the paper mill, the machines had stopped running, and all the equipment sat idle. His explanation to the workers was that since war had begun, production was meaningless, making a temporary shutdown necessary until the conflict concluded.

"Oh, that hasn't happened. How could I bear to sell you? I'm not that foolish. While I may have had the thought, I truly couldn't do it!" Conte answered Chen Long truthfully.

Before the carriage had come to a full stop, Dong Li jumped out, lifting her skirts. Nangong Xiao hurried to follow, reaching out to steady her, but she was already laughing with tears in her eyes and rushing toward Madam Xu. He could only shake his head, approaching with a doting smile.

"Though it has no combat power, the design is perfect. If it were used for card-shadow effects, it would be top-tier!" The stats on Li Mu's card were only 2/1/2. Most of Deathwing's body was ethereal and could not withstand any attacks.

Before they could even get into the car, they heard the sound of gunfire ahead. It was sharp and continuous—the sound of Mauser C96 pistols.

Shang was not well-versed in the way of prescribing, but it was clear that Xiang Kang held the advantage in the current situation. He hoped Ye Chen would provide another prescription to avoid losing the final round.

Wang Zhangzhu looked out the window and suddenly felt the world was cruel. She could be with her father every day, but what about Niuniu? Where would her father go?

"Humph, spare me the nonsense. The Heavenly Master Sect is filled with shameless thieves who plunder spiritual energy! Let us fight!" Shen Aotian could not help but shout. He would certainly not be polite to the Heavenly Master Sect—an enemy preparing to war against the Heavenly Star Empire.

"Then let's go eat at Gourmet Hub!" Niuniu was very considerate of her mother. Gourmet Hub was a newly opened large restaurant there, featuring specialty dishes from all over the country.

Chu Huandong squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Wang Zhangzhu with suspicion. Wang Zhangzhu suddenly gave him a look of contempt, and his eyes bloomed with a myriad of deep, complex lights. He suddenly leaned down and kissed her; his kiss was fanatical and aggressive, sweeping over her like a storm and instantly engulfing her.

Fang Yao patted Qiao Junhui on the shoulder. Qiao Junhui turned to see it was Fang Yao and hurriedly pulled him down to sit, asking him to see if there was any chance of turning things around.

Chu Huandong’s power was unmatched in this city. Why should she drag Ge Chengwei into a situation where they were like eggs smashing against a rock?

The second part is the filling. Shaomai is sold all over the country now, and the fillings are ever-changing; but the traditional filling is strictly mutton with scallions and ginger.

Hearing the voice from inside, Xia Yongning asked, "You're at the hospital! What happened?" Her heart tightened instantly.

"Senior God-Cultivator, please wait a moment. I will go and deliver the message at once!" One of the burly men slipped the spirit stone into his sleeve without anyone noticing and ran toward the gate.

"You... go!" A sigh. A look of pain flashed across Cang Xuanfeng's face, but in an instant, it turned utterly resolute.

Xu Feiqiong: "The internet is a long river—a river that exists between us but not in reality. I am on this side, and you are on the other. It is merely a form of watching, a form of anticipation, though one filled with dreams and fantasies. When the dream ends, one realizes that nothing remains."
