He observed the changes in my expression, and his visible embarrassment deepened, causing his face to flush.

"What are you two doing?" Xiao Lingxue, as the head of the household and the primary authority, was the first to speak.

"How could you make such a decision, Third Sister? To sign a life-or-death pact over a simple scholarly competition—is it really necessary to escalate things to such a lethal degree? It truly shouldn't be this way," Xie Yue said, sounding somewhat anxious.

As he applied makeup to my face, my mind was occupied with the scenes we were about to film, and as I pondered, a sense of sorrow unconsciously flickered across my features.

She learned to play pool from her father; he had no other hobbies in life besides researching new recipes and playing billiards. Whenever there was no one to play with, he would pull Xia Yu in to satisfy his craving.

For one, she felt Shen Mo was truly talented, and she did think highly of him. Furthermore, she believed that although Shen Mo had blackmailed Shen Yan, it was Shen Yan who had acted absurdly in the first place, and Shen Mo had simply taken advantage of the situation.

I had previously guessed that these houses formed a shifting labyrinth, so perhaps the maze had already changed just moments ago.

The height of the nightstand in Sheng Tianche's room was different from the one in Gu Qiongyi's previous bedroom; no wonder she couldn't reach it.

I had always thought his temperament was merely rebellious, but I never imagined he would dare to do something like this in public.

If my assumptions were correct, the young boy was one of the checkpoints on the second level of the Iron Labyrinth, meaning his actions should follow certain rules. To be safe, however, I had to verify this to ensure he wouldn't exploit any loopholes in my wording.

Mei'er sat on the sofa. His arrival surprised her, but she assumed he had come to turn himself in to the police, intending to tell them that she and he had orchestrated everything, all to save his mother.

Therefore, she did not want to rush this marriage; she hoped to have a perfect memory of it.

Mo Ming was not particularly surprised by Silver Wolf's ranking. Before joining, Silver Wolf already had a foundation in underground boxing, and combined with relentless training, he was already formidable compared to those who had talent but no background.

Yin Yu said with concern upon hearing this; he had seen just moments ago that Ming Ji was no match for Ming Mo.

Zhao Long gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, and leaned back in his seat, smoking heavily. Cheng Ke watched him in silence, sitting beside him and accompanying him in his smoke.

However, how could Ye Feng allow him to escape? Ye Feng suddenly unleashed the "Blood Burning Secret Technique," causing his aura to surge and his power to skyrocket.

"Alright, alright, it is Grandfather's fault. From now on, Grandfather will never leave you siblings again, and I will never let anyone bully you two," Wu Qi said with a gentle smile, patting Meng Fei's back softly.

"Ugh, I can't catch up. Forget it, good luck." Because she had stopped to help, Leng Xinyu could no longer see the taxi, so she had to abandon the chase. She had thought she would be able to catch up! Sigh! She could only silently pray for Ye Ming's good fortune.

Wudi could not find a solution for the moment. Unless Tuling returned and used the foundation of the Crimson Flame Technique to switch to cultivating the Crimson Yang Technique, her body would inevitably be consumed by true fire sooner or later. However, Wudi had no time to deal with this now and could only try to slow down the progress of Tuling's Crimson Flame Technique to delay the eruption of the true fire within her.

"Greetings, Lady Zhiren!" The Queen Mother of the West returned the bow slightly, which made the Tushan woman beam with joy, thinking to herself that the Human Teachings were indeed on the rise. She, a retired Mother of the Human Teachings, could now stand as an equal to the Queen Mother of the West.

A sudden, thunderous clap echoed in the sky, and thick, dark clouds rolled toward the High Heaven Pavilion, pressing down with such weight that it left everyone gasping for air.

"If one day I become Prime Minister, you, my brother, shall be the Protector of the State!" Zheng Lun was delighted and immediately made the promise.

'It seems death is certain.' Just as Xi Sa thought this, the intense baleful aura in the forest suddenly turned violent and then erupted. Six exhausted demons were blasted away, falling to the ground like dead fish. The Western Princess slowly descended from mid-air, the red light of her magic gradually fading to reveal a face as calm as before.

"We all support the proposal of the Patriarchs Pei and Ba." Seeing the Pei and Ba patriarchs take the lead, the other family heads voiced their support.

With one sentence, Xiao Han left the two of them completely speechless. Faced with the greater good, they had no choice but to set aside their primary agendas and report the details of the gas poisoning incident to Xiao Han.

This was the rule before a knight's duel: a certain distance must be maintained to allow for the full force of a knight's charge.

Liao was just about to climb the giant tree to join Qiqi in rescuing the Five-Form Assassins, but suddenly, a strange sensation entered his consciousness.

This time, the merger of Heishan City and Wushan City to establish a special economic zone meant that their respective Public Security Bureaus would naturally merge as well. Originally, given the protocol, someone like Hao Xingcheng, who had just been promoted to Deputy Chief, would basically be unable to retain a Chief's position.

Every foray into dangerous territory carries potential risks that cannot be ignored; it is not a casual game to be taken lightly.

The Liu family had given her so many chances in the past; hadn't she repeatedly failed to mend her ways and only grown worse?

Three days is neither long nor short, so many people hesitated on this issue, which, to put it plainly, was the struggle of deciding what personal items were best to bring along.

Ou Yingying was doing fine; after hearing Ye Hao's corrections, she gradually grasped the feel of it, but He Shuang, by contrast, was not as successful.

The Black and White Impermanence were left standing there, inexplicably feeling a subtle sense of gratitude toward Li Huai for his act of sparing their lives.

Hearing this name, Ye Luo frowned slightly, recalling the young man he had seen several times following Nie Yuntian. Based on his observations, this person was not simple.

"What? Could it be that they are Martial Emperors? How is that possible!" Liu Tianren was struck with terror, but the situation did not allow him time to dwell on it.

Yang Yu turned and left. Since he couldn't buy a roasted chicken, he might as well head to the Jingtian Pagoda to visit Mr. Lu. He wondered what expression Mr. Lu would have if he saw that he was suddenly capable of cultivation after three years.

Abusing the power of the Tailed Beasts to resurrect the Ten-Tails was, in their eyes, an unforgivable act.

As it turned out, before he could finish his lament, he saw Ye Hao swipe a piece of paper aside.

The arena was in an uproar again, but this time, a hundred inner-circle disciples turned in unison to look at Su Che.

"It is a pity that I cannot agree to let you continue living!" Gu Fan looked at the entrance of the cave and shook his head while speaking.

Low, rumbling growls continuously emanated from the throat of the Nine-Spirit Yin Snake. Clearly, it had understood Yun Tianyang's words. In the next moment, the infinite killing intent erupting from its eyes swept outward like a tide, regardless of the consequences.
