Yun He, the chief maid beside Lady Gu Zhou, fiercely lifted the curtain and rushed out, her eyes red from crying as she glared viciously at Bai Huan. She was the biological daughter of Nanny Zhou, her full name Zhou Yun. She wished she could tear apart the woman before her who had harmed her mother; her mother's face was ruined, her entire abdomen blistered from scalds, now lying in bed howling in pain.

Pointing at Bai Huan, she shouted angrily, "You harmed the lady and still dare to show up! Shameless!"

It was clearly Nanny Zhou who caused this.

Wan'er’s smile froze on her face; she glanced sideways at Nangong Xiyue, hatred flickering in her eyes. Then she rose and walked toward the exit of the hall.

Once the object was clear, Su Muran turned to look at Chu Mubai, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons as she nestled into his arms. He was about to ask her something, but to his surprise, his wife was already fast asleep, and her peaceful slumber was truly adorable.

"Why not go? He dared to cheat right under your nose—aren't you going to put him in his place?" Xia Dongjin now loathed men thoroughly, nailing them to the pillar of shame. To think he betrayed her best friend, she was determined to make Ying Jue pay dearly.

Seeing An Xueyun as an eternal deity, they tried to intimidate her by invoking the Celestial Sovereign of Tianyuan.

As a member of the Scaled tribe, they naturally disliked the Feathered tribe; now, witnessing a genius like Qin Qiongying falter, Xue Nian was absolutely thrilled.

In the void, a terrifying hand, half black and half white, merged and hammered down, aiming to suppress the gods of origin.

There was no need to go all out for this match—not only was the opponent incredibly strong, but even victory wouldn’t bring much benefit.

Que Huan called out reluctantly, and Rong Xing naturally detected her unwillingness. He said nothing, simply sat down, his expression bleak, his hand trembling as he lifted his teacup.

Someone cried out in surprise, immediately recalling Qin Qiongying's "Ten Thousand Bird Battle Armor," the signature treasure of the "Great Eagle King." Rumor had it that the armor was completely destroyed. Now, the Qin family's master craftsmen were preparing to abandon repairs and instead forge a new "Ten Thousand Bird Battle Armor."

"Today, let me fulfill your wish—go below and join Minghai Zhuangji!" The Nine-Headed Serpent equipped the Drive belt, then took out a white Memory and pressed its button.

Saint Fei wished for the Saint Demon Guild to remain stationary, but Xu Yang’s intention was to take the initiative—there was a profound difference in their thinking.

At first, the three major portals united to dominate the world, becoming the first to list on Nasdaq and sparking legendary tales of internet wealth. Yet soon after, the global internet bubble crisis struck a devastating blow to these portals.

Fu Duoduo’s heart trembled; she dared not slight the mistress at all, her words now much more respectful as she replied with her own inclinations.

On the opening day, China 'Gate' had already spread the news: no yellow or drugs allowed in their venue. However, in such a vast place, there were certainly many eager to do business.

"Rinaka-kun, pour the wine." Hong Shang smiled at me, his eyes shining with a subtle, hidden meaning.

Mizuki here was well aware—even Danzo's side had consultants. One could only imagine their power; even the Hokage had to be wary of them.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Madam Chen had already arranged the trip to the estate and was coming to report to Fu Duoduo.

The reporter was even more speechless. Are you afraid of what others say, so you say things like that? Do you realize what you're thinking? It doesn’t seem to matter much; if you really cared, you wouldn’t have said those things earlier, and saying this now is pointless.

On the other hand, one must keep oneself clean, walk the right path, abide by laws and regulations in business, and conduct operations with integrity.
