Forget it, as long as my little sister is happy, she can be called whatever she wants!
Just as he was about to touch his obedient little sister again, unexpectedly, their father’s voice came from outside.
“You little brat, get out here right now.”
The little snake cub’s body trembled.
“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
A soft, sweet voice came from beside him. The little snake cub smiled gently at her, trying not to let her notice anything amiss. “Brother’s fine! You just rest well here, Brother will come find you to play later.”
“Okay, Qianqian knows.”
The little snake cub gently closed the door and turned around to see his father’s face dark as iron, knowing he was about to get scolded again.
“What were you doing in there?”
He remained silent.
Hekun...
Nearby, only the bodies of Hui Ge and a few others remained along with the A6, where the fire had somewhat subsided.
Though the method of the Yamata no Orochi took less time, it required manpower to move the rubble; the Phoenix method was slower but once done, it was permanent.
Hadi, for his own glory, dared to provoke the world’s top experts. Among them was Master Howard, a fellow sword expert, who joined the Sword Guild’s hunt for Hadi. At that time, Hadi was merely a sword soul. Howard severely injured him, forcing Hadi to flee bleeding, and from then on, Hadi bore a grudge against Howard.
Shangguan Lingfeng listened carefully, confirming that Zhuo Nan had turned away before unfastening her belt. Zhuo Nan’s eyes were wide, fixed on her; she thought he had turned his back, but every move was caught by his gaze.
With time before their meeting, the two conferred briefly. Chen Fei would wait at the restaurant, while Chang Xinxin would visit the renovation company. After seeing Chen Fei off at the restaurant, Chang Xinxin left. The restaurant staff knew their relationship, so there was no need for explanations.
Wu Yulin looked up at the azure sky and white clouds, a graceful smile curving his lips. He gazed into the distance, then returned his attention to the uneasy Wu Yutong beside him, gently brushing her cheek with his fingertip.

“All right, be a good girl and go to school.” I lightly wiped her cheek with my thumb, full of indulgence.
“Heh, General He, even you?” Captain Huang’s lips trembled as he stared at He Yi, eyes red, asking in despair.
Sometimes Xu Yixuan really wanted to give up. Being trained so harshly by his grandfather almost every day was nearly unbearable. He had nearly broken down multiple times and even once fainted from exhaustion.
“What—what are you saying? How could you not be your mother’s own son?” She didn’t understand why her son was like this, but seeing the hatred in his eyes made her uncomfortable.
The guard seemed momentarily stunned, puzzled. However, these NPCs rarely looked down on others; he only said, “Just wait,” then returned to the city lord’s mansion.
Because she had been deeply hurt before, every obstacle she now faced felt like her own fault.
Yan Xinxin was puzzled. This person had just looked like he wanted to devour someone, yet now his expression seemed like he had been bullied.
Previously, because Zhao Fuxiang had no cash, the island workers were paid with goods like grain and salt. When grain was scarce, Zhao Fuxiang distributed sugar. But these in-kind payments couldn’t last. To create a healthy cycle for the South Seas company, workers needed to be paid in cash.
Yan Nanxue frowned slightly, feeling his voice sounded familiar but couldn’t place it. At that moment, the young man slowly uttered a phrase.
Zhou Ci looked at her smile—her eyes curved beautifully, her nose elegant, and even her lips tinged with a rosy hue.
Having suddenly gained a dreamlike moment that didn’t seem to belong to him, the young man, who had already resolved to leave the dormitory, felt utterly bewildered.
Long Yin Xie never spoke a word, calmly observing from the side. The matriarch had never minded his cold nature, but Long Yin Xie, who always tried to cheer his mother, thought otherwise. A wicked smile curled beneath his beard.
Although every sentence in the letter expressed concern for him, he sensed greed between the lines.
At that moment, the representatives from various countries gave forced laughs—not to hide guilt, but as a form of flattery.
Christine spoke and then swiped at Zhang Yuan again, this time targeting his abdomen. With one claw strike, the last piece of modesty covering Zhang Yuan’s upper body vanished.
Liu Wanrou promised well but couldn’t resist. She found an excuse to visit Liu Yan’s courtyard because if she didn’t go now, once Liu Yan married into the Crown Prince’s mansion and became the Crown Princess, she would have no chance at all.
The middle-aged man was the leader of the Black Wind Stronghold, Hei Feng Li, and the burly man beside him was his second-in-command, Hei Xiong. Both were late-stage Golden Core masters.

Previously, at the mansion, she had always been timid and wouldn’t dare complain about the prime minister. Now, having married into the prince’s manor for only a few days, she had become so arrogant.
Xie Jinyan had no objections. Seeing Chun Ci and the others approaching, he pulled Song Linxi up and helped her put on her shoes and socks. “Wait here for me. I’ll be right back.” Then he leapt toward the nearby mountain.
In his earlier introduction, he had only mentioned his background. I had heard of the Qin family in the county but knew little beyond that.
Hearing the voice, the two wandering fighters wearing bamboo hats changed expressions instantly and scanned around for its owner.
In the eyes of that fearless youth, darkness was merely a disguise. Now, the youth was dazed, asleep in a cramped wooden hut.
With this in mind, the common folk suddenly panicked. They had grown accustomed to the World Government’s rule; now, with a sudden change in leadership, no one knew if it would be good or bad, hence their confusion.
Tang Mohan tentatively tried to hug Tang Xi, but she clung tightly to the table, refusing to let go.
Was it because of his wound? Su Xia obediently stopped moving but dared not fully rest her weight behind He Kuangyan.
“Runan, exorcise the demon.” Guan Yi’s expression was unusually cold. No matter how much Qiusheng had experienced, she was momentarily speechless.
Such a thing happened, and yet he treated it lightly, as if it were a game? Didn’t she realize what consequences would have come if he had been late or hadn’t made that call?
The Phantom Tang Empire sent many grand generals, and the emperor dispatched congratulatory letters and gifts.
At fourteen, the Yong Dynasty princes began their trials and were officially granted their titles after their coming-of-age ceremonies.
“It’s not her, Ron. I thought you’d remember the Gryffindor wizard from your year,” Hermione said sharply.
Thinking of her own rebirth, the strange occurrences in that booklet no longer seemed so strange. Yet the note about Aunt Luo’s unborn child being at risk unsettled her even more.
The Yongchang Emperor tightened the tiger tally in his hand and slowly rose after a long moment. He handed the imperial edict to the Virtuous Imperial Noble Consort Yuan Chuxia.
