Volume One, Chapter 24: Whenever You Need Me, I’ll Always Be Here

"I don't know either; this was my wife's idea." Flustered by the interrogation, Kang Jie blurted out, throwing Qi Chisu under the bus.

Liu Cheng had gone to prepare breakfast and had not yet returned. Dong Jiajia finished dressing the child, washed their face, and sat down to wait for the morning.

Shao Yang frowned. "What do you mean by that?" A vague, uneasy feeling stirred in his heart, though he hoped he was just overthinking it.

He picked up his sword, and in her look of disbelief, he thrust it into her body as easily as he had killed so many others on the battlefield.

"I'm doing fine, Tiantian." Chen Peihua’s voice, devoid of any fluctuation, revealed a cold sense of lingering resentment.

Qin Shou paused. Seeing that Luo Fei had tasted each dish, he finally picked up the ivory chopsticks in front of him.

She knew very well that being able to wear this wedding dress was the absolute limit of what Rong Jingyuan could offer her.

After walking a long distance, she finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Zeng Lan had taken a fancy to Gu Xidong? She sighed internally; Gu Xidong attracted far too many troublesome admirers, yet he had no intention of reining himself in.

How could he truly be angry with her? Especially since she already knew she was wrong. What he was really angry about was himself—that it had taken him so long, from the moment he learned of her illness until they were back home, to remember to give her the medicine. He should have thought of it back when they were having hotpot.

"It's about work. I need to head to the General Manager's office right away. You head back first, okay?" The way Kang Jie said the word "okay" at the end was exceptionally gentle, carrying an intimate, whispered quality.

Ling Tian remained disinterested, feeling frustrated and distressed inside. It had been so long—why hadn't her ability leveled up yet?

Her mind was already unstable to begin with, and after being locked up for nearly a month, her behavior had become even more unpredictable.

"Understood!" Helen picked up Nami and used her ability to transport them directly inside the ship's hull, where they wouldn't be thrown overboard.

Professor Yu, wearing a lab coat, stood at the main console, monitoring the data scrolling across the screen while typing on the keyboard. The zombie locked in the central container remained silent, its body riddled with data cables, eyes shut tight, and features taut.

In a sense, Teitoku Kakine was already Shirai's subordinate. It was unlikely that Shirai would easily kill a Level 5 subordinate, right?

Simu watched happily as the golden coffin broke through the soil, only to be trapped by the formation, forcing it to cower inside the coffin, trembling.

"Right, I only left the Rising Sun, but I never stepped onto land," Hesta whispered. "Compared to the Rising Sun, Orange Town is a much larger passenger ship. It is just like the Rising Sun, filled with all sorts of rules. Different people act according to different rules; those who do right are rewarded, and those who do wrong are punished."

It wasn't the magical aura of a sorcerer, but something else... it had to be some kind of magical creature. Perhaps it was a talisman made from fur or bone? He knew such items were quite popular among the wealthy.

Because all of this was merely superficial; he was simply putting on an act because he didn't want her involved in this muddy water.

It did not refer to a god of the Demon Realm, but rather a sorcerer whose magical techniques had reached their peak, touching the realm of the gods.

"Awoo!" The ghost, seeing its many attacks fall short, grew increasingly irritable and furious, eventually resorting to its teeth. With a roar like a savage tiger, it nearly bit my wrist.

"What exactly is going on!" Li Tian asked in astonishment upon hearing the Pangu Saint King say this.

In truth, all Immortal Kings shared a mutual resonance. After all, upon reaching the Immortal King realm, one establishes a lineage within the heavens and earth.

Black and White Impermanence had been behind me the entire time. Seeing my relaxed expression, they were naturally filled with confusion.

At ten minutes and three seconds, Wang Bing successfully finished assembling the car, drawing gasps of shock from the entire crowd.

Recalling that this Joyous Union Technique was a form of dual cultivation for couples, and now that such things had transpired, could it be that Ping'er had been practicing it inadvertently? Thinking of this, Ximen couldn't wait to reach out and touch Ping'er's abdomen, hoping to investigate and resolve his doubts.

"Nonsense! Are you saying that you're worried about me dying because it would delay your cultivation? You unfilial brat!" Li Si retorted, clearly annoyed.

Including the previous battle, he and the Destruction Old Daoist had laid their plans for 20 million years, just waiting to reap the fruits of the Divine Pope's labor.

This type of mechanical room could be opened from the back with a special key for adjustments and repairs; the winding mechanism was also located on the back. However, a hurdle of this magnitude couldn't stump Yan Muheng. Even without a key, he could find a way to open the iron door behind the clock, though it would take time.

Zhong Peng couldn't help but admire the other's methods; this truly didn't seem like the work of a man in his twenties.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichi froze completely. His heart felt as if it had been lightly brushed, and a tingling current surged through his entire body.

A thin layer of ice formed on Zhou Mengxue's skin. She couldn't stop sneezing, her body curled up in a shiver, and the talisman on her forehead began to glow.

If murder weren't a crime, he would have loved to rush up and strangle Lin Ran to death right then and there.

Lu Zhenzhen's eyes brimmed with moisture as her lips curled upward. In her past life, she had failed this man; in this life, she would treat him well.

Li Huoyue nodded. Her mother had mentioned this before: no item cards were allowed to be used on the Emperor, not even on the Crown Prince.

Right now, he was hiding in a house, frantically dialing numbers on his phone, while at his feet lay the corpse of the homeowner, whose neck he had snapped.

"Host, I regret to inform you that the time-travel function was one of the primary features that were consumed."

Hua'an Entertainment was an entertainment company developed under the Zhou Group. Come to think of it, Hua'an Entertainment and Huayu Entertainment were both run by cousins.

If you consume them, you will naturally face retribution from all living beings. If you eat them in this life, in the next life, you will be reborn as fish or fowl, only to be eaten by them in turn.

Li Huoyue had originally wanted to probe the Noble Consort to ask if she could choose her own vessel, but given the current situation, she no longer felt like saying anything more.
