Volume 1, Chapter 65: He glanced over it swiftly, his handsome face turning abruptly pale

After taking a shower that lasted nearly forty minutes, the door opened, and Jiang Qin was carried out in Huo Sili's arms.
As soon as she was laid on the bed, Jiang Qin grabbed one corner of Huo Sili's pillow and dragged it all the way until she threw it onto the floor.
Actually, she originally wanted to fling it right across his face.
However, being thoroughly worn out and deeply sleepy, she simply lacked the strength.
After tossing the pillow, ignoring whatever Huo Sili might be thinking, Jiang Qin closed her eyes, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and went straight to sleep.
Huo Sili glanced down at the pillow Jiang Qin had thrown onto the floor.
"..."
Ye Lingxiao hadn't completely wrapped things up yet; some matters were still better handled by Shen Qiqi in person.
Going back later to make a full-course fish feast sounded pretty good, though it remained uncertain how many they would manage to catch.
From the very beginning, it had been Yan Feifei who relied on the influence of the Dark Nether Palace to throw her weight around here, even threatening the elders of the Miao tribe and forcing Ye Luo and the others, who were properly seated in the front row, to be driven to the very back.
Zhou Feng and Rude turned their heads back, their eyes instantly splitting with rage and disbelief. Gan Long's neck was locked in the grip of a blank-faced person, twisted at an angle no living human being could possibly achieve; quite obviously, his cervical vertebrae had been snapped.

Just when Yun Jinyao thought Qin Ruixi's opponent was a tortoise renowned for its defense, a quick flip through the chat history revealed that the opponent was still very much human.
"Right, bowing to heaven and earth as husband and wife, let's keep going!" said Mu Yunqing, having already casually tossed the red bridal veil over her head with utter nonchalance.
Yet at this moment, she was personally dressing someone else's wounds, paying no heed whatsoever to the bloodstains and the ghastly, gaping lacerations.
Jiang Yejin was hardly clueless either. Arriving at the filming location for the first time, she did not show the astonished demeanor of a country bumpkin entering a grand garden; instead, she closely followed behind Chen Linna, neither wandering around nor looking aimlessly about so as not to block anyone's path.
Hearing her elder sister Lü Shangxin's calm and unruffled inquiry, Lü Shangxiang also regained her composure and resumed massaging the Empress's shoulders.
"They must be trying to force us to retreat and then take the opportunity to escape!" said Fu Yan, who never imagined there could be someone so formidable among the Seventh Regiment, capable of infiltrating undetected right into the midst of their six regiments.
"Ugh! I'm done caring about you lot!" Du Yao stamped her foot in exasperation, ignoring the rest of them entirely as she stormed away in a rage.
The restlessness and confusion of the afternoon had completely vanished from his eyes by this moment, leaving not even a trace behind.
Had there been an intact soul, or if Yumiko's own cultivation had been sufficiently powerful, it might still have been possible for her to be reincarnated or undergo spirit possession for rebirth.
"Aah—rgh—!" Naruto let out a cry of agony, then slowly reverted to his original form.
If I hadn't known that Li Shuke had a knife tied to her leg, and if Li Shuke had been willing to wait a little longer until I lowered my guard before making her move, she definitely could have killed me.

Chen Mo had only ever practiced archery on his own in the military. With the emergence of the arrow-breaking intent within the Solitary Nine Swords, his exceptional eyesight and arm strength allowed his archery skills to improve by leaps and bounds—to the extent that no one had ever truly gauged how formidable he was. Had it not been for the era of the Three Kingdoms contention, his archery prowess would likely have remained obscure and buried.
Relying on this combat technique, coupled with the Cleaving Sky Sword in his hand, Lu Hai fought two Deity Tribulation stage experts single-handedly, and at this moment, he was not even showing the slightest sign of disadvantage.
True to expectation, the moment Li Bin's voice trailed off, Dao Tianchen picked up the pill and swallowed it in a single upward gulp without a second thought.
Whether he was feeling resentful toward himself, or toward someone he wasn't even sure he had the right to resent, or perhaps feeling no resentment at all—his mind simply felt hollow and blank, unable to recall a single thing.
Seeing Jiangxiao's eyes fixed intently on the item in her hand, Xiyang handed it over to her.
As the commander-in-chief, Wang Qian naturally had no worries that Zhao's extra thousand archers would alter the overall strategic situation. The only thing that concerned Wang Qian was the continuous drought in Zhao's interior, while the Qin army's northern expeditionary force was far from rivers, making water replenishment inconvenient. Had he been the renowned general Li Mu, he certainly would not have let slip such a prime opportunity.
"That's simple enough. Ximen Qing is just like an old tortoise; let's call it 'The Tortoise's Parade through the Streets'!" Hunge laughed.
