On closer inspection, it became clear that Colonel Meng Hu’s fist had somehow already been aimed straight at Wei Feng’s chest, as though he had anticipated the direction in which Wei Feng’s body would slide.
The very fact that he had decided to do this was astonishing enough. Even he himself did not quite understand why he had made that choice. Was it curiosity? After receiving such a strange invitation for two years in a row, he really wanted to see what the meeting place was like.
According to this diminishing-needs formula, Doro apparently needed only a single soul crystal to build a wormhole chamber with an area of six square meters.
Rong Chuchu had long since formed the habit of never calling Lan Mu by his name, nor by the nickname A-Mu. He did not like it.
As for which option was more consistent with biological logic, that would require the artificial formula based on a second fusion, which was far inferior to multiple fusion.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Three gunshots brought the Water Rat’s contemplation to an end, and ended Wang Ping and the others’ plan before it could even be carried out.
Lord Doro would never admit that he was the teacher of the Quasai Demon. He himself could not use transformation magic; if that revealed a flaw, it would be most unfortunate.
“Have you been here before?” Wang Ping asked, studying the sign that read “Military Zone—No Unauthorized Entry” and the enormous gap in the barbed-wire fence.
Before long, every examinee collapsed onto the ground, convinced that they had been poisoned throughout their bodies, suffering unbearable pain, and were about to die.
The instant Wei Feng’s feet touched the ground, he drew his body inward and summoned nearly all his strength. Bit by bit, he channeled the tremendous downward force into the earth. Then he let his body fall with the momentum and rolled more than a dozen meters before finally coming to a stop.
If Yin Lian had dealt with it as casually as she had in the previous rounds and written some warm, sugary love story, she might well have been judged the loser for lacking suitable material.

At that moment, Tian Bufan’s eyes blazed with a scarlet light. From a distance, they looked like two balls of red flame leaping in the darkness, bizarre to the extreme.
Apart from that, Anil’s bearing and temperament were extraordinary as well. Some qualities could only be acquired through years of training or cultivation; others arose naturally from one’s status and circumstances. They were far beyond anything that could be forcibly imitated.
Seeing Ye Tian’s embarrassed expression, Liu Fan curled his lips. “I’ll be going, then. Remember to call me.” He spoke with a hint of mischief.
Moreover, the one drawing down the black lightning was the Thunder Wound within the Heavenly Dao. Gu Chen, formed from the convergence of the Heavenly Dao, had even less chance of escape. Even if he managed to break free, the black lightning would continue to strike him.
Ye Tian hailed a taxi and left. Watching him depart, Wang Jian and the others did not know why, but they all trusted him deeply, believing that he could bring Li Rushi back. Yet no one expected that Ye Tian’s departure would last a full four years.
After the car entered Yunyang City, Qu Qingying began directing Xue Ying. Xue Ying drove into the urban district and eventually stopped near a rather dilapidated building.
As soon as Wang Hong finished speaking, the men in black standing behind him nodded repeatedly. It was not only Wang Hong who found the matter strange; they did as well.
“Auntie Liu, I won’t be eating at home this afternoon. Please look after Mr. Lu. I’m going to find Jiang Yuanhe!” She wanted to discuss the matter with Jiang Yuanhe and confirm whether she had merely been idle at home and imagining things.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world changed. The walls of the temple had vanished, replaced by a vast and boundless sea of stars. Stars filled every corner, and their brilliant light was woven together like a spider’s web, so dazzling that it was difficult to keep one’s eyes open.
You called me, and I called you. Sometimes we went out together to drink milk tea or coffee on the street and talked about our lives and our troubles. I listened to you sing for me and watched you draw ever closer to your dreams. Yet I remained where I was, neither moving forward nor falling behind.
“There is something you need to know. Qi Liancheng did not die of heart disease; he died from a gunshot wound. He was shot in the temple and killed instantly.” Jing Moxuan spoke slowly and evenly.

She said, “Ran Chen, come with me. I’ll take you somewhere—a place where we can remain together forever.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Feng Yige finished speaking, Qian Ruoruo blurted out, “I agree!” As soon as the words left her lips, she lifted her foot and slowly walked toward Feng Yige, stopping only when she reached him.
The short, dark-skinned dwarf moved with remarkable agility, completing all these actions in an instant without appearing hurried in the least, as though everything had been done in slow motion.
Run through the lines, run through the lines—oh God. As her eyes skimmed across row after row of dialogue, An Ruo truly felt, for a moment, like smashing the script against the floor.
She was determined to obtain this piece of land. With it, even if all the rights to the P1 development zone eventually returned to Jing Moxuan, she would still have a way to stand against the Liu family.
Xu Feiqiong: “That was very well said, and beautifully poetic too. But I have to admit that I cannot do it.”
“Phew…” An Ruo let out a long breath and sat down on the sofa. She spread her arms, looking utterly languid, and kept drawing in the familiar air, as though the exact same figure had appeared before her eyes—walking into the living room, taking something, and then entering the bedroom.
The Empress Dowager saw that neither of them had any objections, so she nodded. After saying a few more words, she gestured to Xiao Yuyin and the other person that they could begin.
