25 Interest

The ancient relics were fine, knowing how to restrain themselves, but the ancient fierce beasts lacked such self-control; the extreme agony drove them into a frenzy.

Ling Jiantong tapped his forehead with her fingertip. "You usually seem like such a smart person, so why have you become so dull now?"

Although Beiming Xiu did not understand the ways of interacting with others, as the Lord of the Underworld, he would never admit to such ignorance. He nodded with a solemn expression, his tone filled with unprecedented certainty.

On the ten-thousand-foot high platform in the East Courtyard, a phantom figure appeared quietly. His complexion was pale and his aura weak, yet he struggled to maintain his form.

Xue Wanghu shook his head and sighed. He had deliberately pointed out Lang Wuxie’s strength, hoping that Li Yi would retreat in the face of difficulty. He had not expected Li Yi to forge ahead despite the odds; he truly did not know whether to curse Li Yi for his stupidity or praise his commendable courage.

Looking out, it was as if Li Hexian had become the scorching sun, while the actual sun appeared as mere fireflies in comparison.

Yun Yao, however, felt a moment of hesitation. She lowered her head, her expression indifferent, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Of course I wouldn't want to trouble the Director or cause the bureau to incur extra expenses. I will resolve the funding issue myself. As long as I have your support, Director, I shall be fully satisfied!" Xing Guanghui said with a thick-skinned, polite smile.

Two whip-kicks collided, producing a powerful, resounding impact that made the very air feel scorching hot.

Steadying his mind and casting aside these distracting thoughts, Zhuo Tian realized that healing his injuries was the priority. He focused his concentration, channeling the vital energy within his body to mend his wounds.

Keigo Atobe simply did not care about Jiro at all, so he did not even want to speak to him, for that would be un-magnificent.

Various unknown insects kept visiting Aoki, and worse, they shamelessly left their eggs behind.

Many people who were busy handling props and costumes heard the shouting and gathered around in unison, glaring at Feng Yifeng with hostile expressions, ready to come to blows at the slightest provocation.

Noticing Wanxuan’s gaze falling upon her hands, Hua Yan hurriedly tucked her needle-pricked finger behind her back and smiled at him uncomfortably.

"This little bit of gear... it’ll be good if it can hold out for five minutes..." Relying on the barrage of fire to suppress the assault, Li Jingyun’s fingers were already numb from pulling the trigger. As the primary gunner, he was well aware of how much ammunition had been expended.

"Of course I have! That’s why I thought of asking Qin'er to join! Sister Qin'er isn't an outsider; how could I not think of our own people?" Dongling replied quickly with a smile.

"Do you know if Ye Yulin likes me? Answer me honestly, no lying!" Although Dongling felt that asking this was somewhat shameless and embarrassing, the question was crucial.

The water was no longer cold, the scene was no longer noisy, and the air was filled with an ambiguous, hazy atmosphere. It was as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them; their deep affection caused the temperature in the bathroom to rise sharply.

"Mr. President." At the hotel hosting the distinguished guests, a tall figure knocked hurriedly on President Obaniu’s door and entered, looking so agitated and excited that he forgot his usual manners.

"I really don't understand. With your abilities, you could have almost anything in the world for the taking—why be so harsh on the Tohsaka family?" Xiao Mengyu, who had been left behind, expressed her confusion.

Baili Xi looked on in shock at Gongzi Wuming and Zhuo Jiusheng, who were still standing before him, and his vision went completely dark.

After speaking, she pulled him along, ready to leave, when she suddenly noticed what Gu Sheng was holding—it was exactly the tiger hat that Gu Qingqing had just handed her.

Throughout the encounter, they acted as if Cruise Bieber, standing not far away, were merely air, ignoring him completely.

The person who walked in was Sina, but she was not in a good mood; her head hung low, and she appeared listless.

After all, it was Lang Wuji, the Lord of Juexian City, who had attacked him. Recording a bit of video meant that even if he lost, he could still stir up some buzz on the forums and gain some notoriety.

Since he had found a way to save both a great deal of time and energy, it wasn't just a loud scream; even if Wei Dongsheng had slapped them and said he was just checking if he was dreaming, Shangguan Ya and the others certainly wouldn't have minded.

Clearly, neither Yejie nor Liu Fan had the habit of locking doors behind them unless necessary... perhaps this would teach them a lesson...

Chai Lang walked at the very front. As soon as his first step cleared the cave entrance, he heard the sharp whistle of arrows cutting through the sky.

The family had wasted several years in this Grand View Garden, and seeing that Lady Wang had already made up her mind, how could the Xue family retreat at the last moment?

Upon learning all of this, Lu Tianming appeared quite calm, perhaps even a bit secretly pleased. He knew that this assessment had finally been completed successfully, and he would surely receive the full cultivation of the Sword Sect in the future.

The monarch of Ji was very wise; he had long anticipated that the Qin army would once again dispatch a powerful navy to attack from the sea. Therefore, he had gathered a thousand warriors, most equipped with leather armor, with only a few wielding iron weapons. The rest carried the local specialty of Ji—clubs.

Since there was no clear classification for physical strength and comprehension, Jiang Ning did not know what level he had reached.

Mei Yixuan left the kitchen with complicated feelings, thinking she needed to resolve the matter of Ba Village and move house as soon as possible.

Baiguo hurriedly poured a cup of water from the teapot, and Bitao took it to serve Tong Hongying.

Perhaps it was because she had previously told the children they would have new clothes for the New Year that Liu Zhan and Liu Che had misunderstood, thinking they were meant to wear the new clothes Lady Josephine had sent them earlier today.

"If you don't talk, then you are the scapegoats, do you understand?" Ye Hongling said sternly.
