Xing Jue finished speaking and, with a smile, took a step closer to Ji Wenyu. "The boss of the mine goes by the nickname Old Black. The day before we arrived, he went mountain climbing to look out over the scenery and accidentally fell from the summit. He wasn't critically injured, but a branch pierced his thigh. He called for you to treat him, but you didn't know how, so you just pulled it out hastily, disinfected the wound, and bandaged it. The boss seemed fine the first day, but as the wound became infected, he has now fallen into a coma. The survivors in the upper levels of the mine are cut off from the normal world..."

The cafeteria was also decorated like a palace; the floors were made of white jade, not to mention the gold-inlaid jade dining tables and the several crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

He watched that bird—it was very ordinary, yet it could effortlessly break through the Buddha's intense aura to land on his shoulder, which was enough to show that this seemingly common bird was a formidable entity.

This was also the fundamental reason why Xue Guan called her "Aunt" instead of drawing his sword the moment they met.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Shiheng’s hand holding the teacup paused, the tea leaves within swirling slightly and sending out ripples.

After finishing his instructions to Meng Lu, Guo Jianglong didn't care whether she had taken them in or not; he turned back to give orders to the few staff members who were still stunned with fear.

Under the guidance of Cui Ning’s spiritual consciousness, all the flaming golden needles struck the young cultivator squarely.

"If you can make it into the top fifty, I will personally gift you another set of magical artifacts. How about that?" Uncle Zhang Miao spoke with such unprecedented sincerity that Cui Ning almost thought he had mistaken him for someone else.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers retreat, Yu Chenglong did not pursue them. Instead, he sent two of his men to shadow them and observe their destination, before leading his unit back to their original defensive positions.

But there was nowhere to escape. A palm print descended, and no matter how she tried to block it, she was still sent flying.

It was rumored that Ye Li had injured her eyes while saving Su Yi and had been forced to leave, which led Su Yi to become a philanderer.

Those eyes were like black holes; once you looked into them, it was impossible to pull yourself away.

Feng Weiwei must have taken after her mother. Although she was just as slender and tall, there was clearly a bit more flesh on her face than her sister's.

Back in the day, due to the arrogance of her youth, she heard there was someone even better at hacking than her, so naturally, she had to compete to see who was superior.

Murderous intent surged in his eyes. With a grasp of his five fingers, he retracted the ice sword, which had swelled to more than double its size, and whipped up countless shards of ice and snow to envelop the fire dragon, attempting to freeze and shatter it.

"Ah Yi, I'm going up to shower first; I still have some things to do," Long Jiu'er said, looking up at the man beside her.

Sure enough, only when mentioning Master Mingxin would her young master reveal such an overly gentle expression.

"Don't worry, even if you poke a hole in the sky, your husband can hold it up for you. Just don't let yourself suffer any grievances. Just remember: if you can win, fight; if you can't, run. Come back and tell me, and your husband will go beat them up for you personally!" Yun Haotian said with immense authority, his eyes filled with tenderness.

From then on, he was no longer arrogantly certain that it was impossible for Rong Xi to truly want his life.

Qian Ye stopped in her tracks, watched Mo Nansheng from across the window for a long while, and finally stepped into the Jinsong Pavilion.

"You!" Qian Mei was truly trembling with rage now, but Shui Yiren just smiled and dealt her another stinging blow.

After receiving the compensation and the house left by their parents, they had hoped to hold on until they grew up, but who would have thought that a single fire would burn away everything the sisters had left.

Shen Huai once again introduced the principles of spore technology to everyone in detail, emphasizing its safety.

At this moment, the skeleton was stunned and silent, quietly stroking the skin that looked quite "normal" to outsiders but was actually just a skeletal frame, saying nothing.

Seeing Elder Lu approach, the crowd said nothing; this was an internal matter of the Seven Stars Sect, and they only needed to sit back and wait for the show.
