Volume 1, Chapter 43: Don't Bother Me

Shu Xingruo said indifferently, "I didn't look for him when I was hospitalized, so don't bother me while he's hospitalized. I'm going to sleep. That's it, goodbye."
With that, she was about to hang up. Butler Liu had put it on speaker, and Ji Yanli was so furious upon hearing her casual tone that he felt like vomiting blood. He snatched the phone: "Shu Xingruo, I order you, get your ass to the hospital right now, this instant. Otherwise, I'm calling the police to report you for domestic violence."
Hearing his full-throated voice, Shu Xingruo said, "You're fine, what do you need me there for? There are plenty of servants at home; I don't have the leisure to wait on you. You can have He Xin wait on you instead, though as a pampered young miss, she might not know how. Oh, right, go ahead and call..."
Seeing that faint melancholy, my heart ached inexplicably. A monster that was half-wolf and half-dragon—was it baffling mortals, baffling phantoms? Did it harbor an irreconcilable blood feud with the Lin and Shu families? If only Brother Lu Pang were here.
Upon entering the door, a pale-faced man blocked us. "Please show your VIP membership card." The darkness in the depths of his heart appeared in clusters, resembling fruits hanging from branches. This probably evolved from phantoms acting like abundant fruit. It would be most appropriate to use the phantom-fruit worm here.
Back in his hotel room, Xia Jian felt not a shred of sleepiness. First, he took a shower, then lay on the bed to ponder the matter. He still hadn't figured out Xiong Lan's true identity; since she hadn't mentioned it earlier, he didn't dare ask.
The Lingfeng Continent consists of five major regions: the Turbulent Domain, the Ghost-Horned Forest, the Lufeng Domain, the Holy Light Alliance, and the Konoha Kingdom.
Entering my field of vision was unexpectedly a giant standing about three meters tall, with tusks growing from his face and a pair of pointed ears atop his head. Although he also appeared to be a soul entity, he looked more like a demon.
"Water Dragon Clan, I am truly sorry. We are merely conducting a ritual and will leave this place once it is completed. We apologize for the intrusion and hope you will understand!" Zeng Tiansu cupped his fists with utmost courtesy.
"Young Master Ye, I also agree with doing this. Once we make the first move, we will be completely at a disadvantage." Beside him, Zhou Qiang voiced his opinion at the very first instance.
What I could deduce was that this wronged ghost had been dead for over fifty years. Meeting this standard, could there still be a wronged ghost I didn't know about? Besides that thing underground, what else could possibly exist?
He rummaged through a drawer for a pack of cigarettes and began to smoke with a solemn expression. The bluish smoke curled into larger and larger rings, eventually fading and scattering, mirroring the wandering spirits of the dead passing away in the mortal world, along with those phantoms I had failed to protect.
As subsequent attacking forces arrived, the South Gate of Yanjing came under immense pressure. Meanwhile, the catapults within the city could not reach the siege forces at the base of the wall due to the distance.
Although this type of classic populist show is looked down upon endlessly in later generations, in this current era, the effect was still remarkably good. The Prefect and a noble from the capital were actually able to dine at a village school; spreading the word later would also be a matter of glory.

When I heard the three words "King of Ten Thousand Slaves," a flood of related knowledge instantly surged into my mind.
Because the skull had been pierced by a shot, the fragile aura corresponding to the eyes could not gather to a strength capable of generating vision.
Only then did Zhu Ba-bo realize that, apart from lightning, exotic flames were the things that filled it with the greatest terror.
"I probably have about five minutes," Locke thought clearly. After the gargoyles rushed into the Temple of the Moon, the Night Elves outside would surely notice this. He believed that within five minutes, they would enter the Temple of the Moon to mount a defense.
He had successively killed a hundred people in Yangzhou, and his bloody reputation had already spread throughout Jinling. The officials were either trembling with fear, sycophantic, or full of confidence and fearless.
This problem was grave; I feared that before the bronze pillar even collapsed, the water level would have risen and drowned us all.
Locke quietly walked toward the mage tower. Yesterday evening's prison incident had sparked discussions among many Dalaran residents, but Dalaran had yet to find the true culprit. In truth, he wasn't worried, even if someone in Dalaran discovered it was his doing.
While hesitating, the two long benches collided again, their intentionally or unintentionally upturned ends clashing and slamming sideways into their table.
Jiang Ruan smiled bitterly as he helped him lie down, then said to Qiu Yutao, "Cut to the chase." Qiu Yutao nodded.
The collar was probably cut rather low because I had pulled it roughly earlier, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he smoked, resting against his strong neck with exceptional sexiness.
I've figured it out: the moment he gets happy, he bullies me. Recently, things were tense and there were too many matters to attend to, so he couldn't spare the time for this sort of nonsense. Now that he was inexplicably excited, he started plotting ways to bully me.
"It's rare to hear her play such a quiet piece. Doesn't feel half bad, right?" Shen Yi said, turning his head to look at Yan You.
Daoist Priest Li examined them each carefully from head to toe, squeezing and patting their arms and legs.
However, the methods of the people from Imperial Heaven were so gentle; if this were out in the world, who knew how the mastermind behind the scenes would torment me.

Du Heng helped her walk into Qilin's room, and seeing Qilin lying unconscious on the bed, she covered her mouth and averted her gaze.
"It looks like a sudden fever. Help me to the car." Nie Yuan and his party happened to come out and chanced to see Qu Zhi holding Yang Lingxing.
Lin Jingde could not refute and could only nod. He knew as well that Lin Tianyun was merely experiencing a final flash of brilliance before death.
Master Hongchen led everyone in chanting sutras and prayers, burning incense and offering sacrificial fruits in hall after hall. He also brought dozens of bricks of tea to the Yanbei Taoist Temple.
Parading an MVP monster through public thoroughfares drew crowds of onlookers along the way. Mu hurriedly went to the South Gate Kafra teleport, teleported with Yisus and the Queen Bee to Prontera's East Gate, and upon exiting the East Gate, summoned a Worm Tail to ride as transport, heading toward the Mjolnir Mountains.
Xu Ziqian wore a depressed expression. Han Qiuwu was resourceful, and Zhou Xingyun's little secrets truly couldn't be hidden from her. Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess was demanding answers from her, Xu Ziqian could only pick out the main points and share a tiny bit of what she could tell Han Qiuwu.
"Please enlighten me." Wei Xuyue suddenly felt a very strange taste in her mouth. She had originally only wanted to compete with Zhou Xingyun on the same stage, never expecting that the people of Feijing City would detest him so much.
It is said that bards' skills all rely on musical notes to activate; I wonder what formidable skill this will be.
After placing the tea on the central coffee table in the living room, without saying much else, she went straight upstairs.
Ye Hao remained calm and unperturbed. These past few attempts were just laying the groundwork, so Ye Hao directly switched to a tenfold drop rate.
However, while he was dazed, Niang Shang had already stepped forward and thrown herself into his arms, wrapping her hands around him and pressing tightly.
"If it weren't for the sake of Situ Luoyun, I definitely would have turned you into a cripple as well!" Ye Hao snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt as he looked at Situ Wentian. He released his foot from Situ Wentian's chest and turned to leave.
