45. Lu Weian was determined to make his relationship with Ji Qingran public.

“What’s wrong, Wang Tian? Weren’t you just so arrogant a moment ago, looking down on everyone? You even dared to strike your elder, Uncle Wang Meng. Now that you face a peer, you want to back down and hide like a coward, not even daring to fight? Where is the bravado you showed earlier?” a young man jeered.

Having inherited the power of the Netherworld and become the new God of Death, Su Lingfeng was undoubtedly formidable. Yet, her strength had only recently reached the Sovereign level. It would take a long time for her to fully merge with and master the Netherworld power within her.

“I know you won’t dare lay a hand on me—not now, not ever. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t get the chance,” Kou Le’er said as she stepped beside her, circling around.

Fang Ze didn’t question Lin Chen’s intentions. Instead, he gave the same excuse he used when the guards escorted Tong Chuan, changing the subject.

When a master and pet share power, if they borrow elemental forces or attack skills, during the transition, their bodies will glow with lights matching the shared element’s color, sometimes even requiring transformation.

Chaos reigned throughout the city as Northern Army soldiers conducted widespread searches, plunging the populace into panic. The faction Wang Tian had been building—the Crown Prince’s supporters—was shaken to its core by this event.

Our nation had risen to become one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful, yet under the government’s austere gaze, countless issues remained unseen. This family was relatively fortunate, at least having enough food and shelter.

“Xuan Yi! How could you attack Yun Feng?” Bu Yuanmisheng exclaimed in shock. Wasn’t he the one who cared most for Yun Feng? How could he strike her?

Few people, however, are willing to selflessly share their knowledge and wealth as you do.

Ximen Zhui Xue thought silently: the power of the Vein-Sealing Curse truly lives up to its reputation. No wonder everyone believed Ximen Zhui Xue was ruined, incapable of opening the Soul Sea again.

After dying from illness, my father buried my ashes beneath the great oak tree, but I was killed by bandits on the way back. I had no proper burial, my body left in the wilderness, devoured by starving wolves.

In an instant, Lin Feng felt hundreds of piercing, murderous gazes fall upon him.

Consequently, every time Jiang Wan posted on Weibo, it caused a huge uproar among fans. Within minutes, comments, likes, and shares would spike dramatically.

Jiang Wan only said she had visited the troops today and that Yan Mosheng had gone there. They were still outside and would return late, naturally avoiding mentioning the car accident.

Xu Yourong had seen so many surprising things today that she had grown numb, no longer amazed by curious sights. When Su Li recognized her, she merely gave a slight bow.

Nangong Yexuan remained silent, recalled Nangong Mengmeng, then hurriedly called Duanmu Yu to seek out Yue Cang’s residence atop the mountain.

Qiao Mu was driven directly by the driver to the company, while Qiao Sheng stayed home to rest in the morning since she had to go out at noon.

But coming so many times in such a short span truly tested Edmond’s heart.

He was already in an advantageous position; with a sudden strike, he caught the Japanese Sword Saint off guard, his katana unable to block the speed of the attack.

“You scoundrel! I sent you on a mission, and now you’re lecturing me? Just wait and see how I deal with you. Get lost! If you won’t come, I’ll do it myself.” Saying this, the director grabbed handcuffs and tried to cuff Li Shanda.

Thinking of this, Shen couldn’t help but glance toward the towering mountains where they stood, surprised that Comrade Lu was even more remarkable.

Back home, Li Shanda brewed jasmine tea. Since childhood, he had loved its delicate fragrance, which calmed and relaxed him, allowing his thoughts to settle.

Conan and Hattori Heiji followed Muzi for a while but, seeing she was merely strolling, left their leader with a speechless look and went off to find something.

Beneath the vast blue sky, silver wings like sharp blades cut through the horizon, slowly descending upon the mysterious and challenging European land.

The crew had been ready to enjoy a joyful holiday, yet unexpectedly, Si Xi returned at this moment.

During dinner, Li Ping took care of Qiuqiu, feeding him first before hastily eating her own meal.

Even in the cultivation world, spells that constantly discern others’ inner thoughts were unheard of.

“Ah, you scared me to death…” Collapsing into Shan Shan’s arms, Mei finally spoke, returning to normal.

“Good, the Grand Tutor has explained the specifics clearly. If there are no objections, the competition will now begin,” asked the magnolia.

Next, Yulong Lu Junyi might as well rely on his own luck. Even if they killed the boss, they probably wouldn’t fare much better. I understand this well. The saying goes: ‘For every thousand enemies slain, one loses eight hundred.’

Though the war was over, conflicts persisted. The court had long lost the people's trust, leaving behind an image of incompetence and folly. Especially after the recent incidents in the capital, public opinion was that the court persecuted its meritorious officials out of fear.

“Don’t mention that child to me. Let’s hurry back to Ebesjia to make coffins; that’s more urgent!” Hei Lingge interrupted Bai Lingge’s emotional outburst.

Then, he called his brothers to tear open their shirts, revealing bundles of TNT explosives. Judging by their posture, it seemed they weren’t after money but intended to carry out a terror attack.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shangyu thought, “This old man sure knows how to make enemies. I can’t make heads or tails of his words. But since the Medical Emperor says so, he must be confident.” So he said no more.

During the time back in Tal Town, Tang Feng held several meetings with his Dragon-Phoenix Mercenary Group leaders, listening to their achievements while he was absent.

Everyone was surprised. Three powerful strikes should have been enough for a critical or chain kill, but with two rare pieces of equipment, breaking through my defense required being level five or above.

At that moment, Tian Tian suddenly noticed the job advertisement was soaked and somewhat tattered. The words were blurred yet still faintly legible.

Li Zixiao lowered his head curiously, staring at the thermos that Gu Feifei inexplicably held. A warm feeling filled him.

“Yes, but back then, things were different from today’s youth. Family opinions were crucial. Later, Mengmeng’s mother decided to follow my brother to the South Sea, even at the cost of estrangement from the family.”

Liu Wei shouted and then knelt beside the hospital bed, tightly grasping Li Zixiao’s right arm. Tears and snot mingled as he seemed to have endless words to say.
