Volume One — Chapter 29: You Bought Me

Seeing his son in such agony, Ji Yanzhi took the unprecedented step of having him pick up the spear half a month ahead of schedule, with every movement becoming even more grueling.

Existence is life; we assign it the symbol: Yang. Non-existence is extinction; we assign it the symbol: Yin. When you are 50, we call it: a state of equilibrium—neither Yin nor Yang, where the powers of Yin and Yang are equal. When Ron is old or very young, we call it: an excess of Yang or an excess of Yin.

At the time, he even scoffed, saying things like, "Students these days will go to any lengths for the sake of livestream views; this is clearly fake."

This signifies absolute and unwavering loyalty; apart from heaven, earth, parents, and elder siblings, the person they kneel before is the one who holds the greatest importance in their hearts.

Elder Eighteen and his companions traveled from chaos to Thorn Ridge entirely drawn by the Chaos Spirit Water in Xie Yun's possession.

Liu Xiaoyue was dazed, and just as she regained her senses and prepared to lash out, a cold blade was suddenly pressed against the tip of her nose. The intense killing intent that emanated from it forced her to swallow the words she was about to speak.

Compared to when she first arrived at this school, Li Mumu had become much more confident due to her increased strength, and her reputation as a "toxic oracle" had truly spread.

Ye Xiaoying could not be bothered to entangle herself with her any further; she placed a damp towel on Li Tiezhu's forehead and tended to him with meticulous care.

Finding a place for shelter was necessary; one couldn't just pick any random spot. Darkness was falling, and while the day was manageable, one needed a place to rest at night.

Hearing Zhao Hanfei's words, Duanmu Xi couldn't help but sneer; he had not expected Zhao Hanfei to be so shameless.

Wang Gang looked in the direction Ji Yu was pointing and was astonished to see a winding stone staircase leading downward. No one would have guessed that a staircase had been built into the center of this massive tree.

"That's right. I originally took my mother's surname, Chiba, and was called Chiba Shin; later, when my mother married my father, I changed my name to Nagano Shin." Nagano Shin could not fathom Bian Long's intentions, but there was nothing to hide in simply answering a question about his name.

The next moment, everyone saw a massive, bloody gash appear on the strange beast, extending from its chest all the way down to its leg.

After having a meal with his sister, Meng Yi, and the others, and briefly discussing the upcoming operations of "Dreams Return to Millennium" and training matters, he returned to the SP base and embarked on the journey to the Star Spirit clan.

Grandmother had worked herself to the bone to save money to raise him and Mommy, eventually succumbing to a severe illness and passing away shortly after he was born.

Upon reaching the city, Wu Zhao led the soldiers into the military camp, while Wang Gang and Fan Chong headed to the prefect's residence.

"Return... return?" As soon as the screen lit up, Cheng Nuo caught the key word in the pop-up notification. Only after swiping right to enter did he realize it was a message from Ling Ming.

This window was the closest point to Jinse, where Quan Li Baiyi and Ling Ming were staying, and they were directly facing each other—looking at it this way, something seemed rather off.

Following that, Wu Xue returned to the elevator entrance. With the conditions met, she was finally able to go directly to the eightieth floor, though she knew that due to the signal interference, she would receive no further assistance and would have to complete the task alone.

Memories flooded back like a deluge. The sensation of skin against skin tightened every nerve in her body; the intimacy of that night and his brutality forced her to scream out the fear and disgust she held within.

"Should I go in? And if I do, what should I say?" A bitter smile touched Ling Xiao's lips.

Since arriving in this world, Ling Xiao’s care for Zhao Xin had far surpassed that shown to anyone else. In terms of cultivation alone, the techniques Ling Xiao provided him were of a higher grade than anyone else's, and he had even taught him the skills of Zhao Yun from another world.

However, there was no point in overthinking it; there was still so much to do. The wedding preparations were exhausting. In what capacity would the three children enter? Was it a bit too bold to get married while bringing so many children along? I let my thoughts run wild.

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, the veins on the back of her hand bulging. It was just that this husband, who had descended from the heavens, had appeared so suddenly—so suddenly that I didn't know what kind of mood I should be in to face him.

The Heavenly Court used to provide countless offerings to the Western Heavens, so why were they of no use now that the critical moment had arrived?

I said, "Fine, no problem," and we headed grandly toward the back playground. The school gates would definitely not let us out, so I decided to take the cute girl over the wall. It was her first time climbing a wall, and she asked me several times on the way if the wall was high and if it was easy to climb.

Xu Chunqiu and the other two withdrew their defenses; the faint green light still coiled around Lan Shuixian’s fingers also faded away.

"Sister, there is still some in my bag. I hid it because I thought she was smoking too much. Why don't we give her a little? Otherwise, she won't be able to handle it," Liu Shaoqi said.

Luo rubbed his temples, thinking that once Old Bai arrived to treat his injuries, he would have to properly correct Red Pearl’s habit of self-harm.

"Finally here?" A sudden flash of realization lit up Chu Ling's eyes. He had a feeling that after passing through this ring of light, he would truly be entering the ancient Qiankun Sect.

Shiliting was pulling Qian Cangyi along, which made him very uncomfortable. Because she was a newcomer, Shiliting hadn't made a point of training herself; she was panting heavily, needing to catch her breath with every step she took.

A-Zhu smiled. "I believe in you." He placed his right hand over Nan An's right hand.

Hearing Bureau Chief Liu's words, the surrounding armed police officers looked in astonishment at the slender and beautiful Wu Yingying and Jing Yi.

Just then, Qiuqiu suddenly darted from the other side of the silver sedan onto the roof of the car. The blue light that had been flickering in its eyes had vanished, and as it leaped onto the roof, it wagged its thick tail at Jing Yi.

Lan Ziyi knew the scoundrel was just after money, and he knew even better that the imperial examinations were a vital matter of the state; it was impossible for anyone to be selling exam questions on the street. The scoundrel before him was nine-tenths a fraud.

"My god! Did you two see that? That strike from Bai Yu just now actually wounded Black She!" Luo Yang swallowed hard.

"It's all my fault! Nan Qiu, it's all my fault! It was me who caused you to end up like this! It was all my mistake!" Qin Mou said, her face streaming with tears.

"I have already told you, without my command, neither of you mother and son are allowed to step foot into the Xiao household. Perhaps in your eyes, I am old, and my words no longer carry weight, is that it?" The Old Madam struck the mother across the face once more.

Who told him to act so recklessly? Did he really think she was some naive, soft-hearted marshmallow who would let him knead her however he pleased?

"Xiaoyan, you proposed breaking off the engagement with Zifeng because of this man, didn't you..." After calming down, Mu Jianzhang did not act shocked; instead, he watched Mu Xiaoyan with a calm expression.
