Volume 1, Chapter 22: The Theatrical Couple

Shu Xingruo, unable to spare a moment for embarrassment, walked over quickly. Gazing at his tightly wrapped wrists, she whispered, "Your cufflinks are set a bit low."

Ji Yanli replied, "If you want to check my pulse, roll them up yourself."

Shu Xingruo frowned slightly, complaining to herself as she rolled up his sleeves, "What on earth is he acting so strangely for today?" As she rolled the fabric, her fingertips brushed against his skin, sending a jolt like an electric current through his heart. During the first year of their marriage, she had taken his pulse every day, and it was always her who rolled up his sleeves. Back then, she had lived every day with extreme caution, terrified that he would cast her aside. While Ji Yanli was lost in these memories, Shu Xingruo had already finished rolling up his sleeves and placed her fingers on his wrist...

"I won't do anything out of line. You're just too thin—look at your waist, I could span it with one hand." Lin Zezhong loosened his grip, his arm draped loosely around her. She really was so guarded against him; was she truly that uneasy just from him touching her waist through her clothes?

Huang Zezhong leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said with a lonely, languid air, "So... I really wasn't born to them." Once he said it, he felt completely calm; he should have realized it sooner. No biological parents could treat their own child with such coldness and indifference. If he wasn't their biological son, it perfectly explained why they treated him this way.

"We came here to enjoy the scenery, not to dwell in melancholy. If we felt sad or moved by someone else's story earlier, then it should all be left in the past; it shouldn't be taken to heart," Ouyang Lanzhi sighed. Even if another person's story is tragic, one shouldn't let it weigh down their own emotions.

I've grown much taller in this life; I wonder if my voice and appearance will change? I don't know if he will still like me if I look different.

"I will protect my own people. I don't need anyone else to guard them." The cold reply brought Yuan Tengfei back from his reverie. As long as it was the Four Saints lineage, they dared to calculate anything, even defying the heavens themselves, fearing no so-called retribution.

The moment the old Taoist priest stepped outside, a deafening roar echoed through the air—it was the sound of a Copper-Armored Corpse. Even Duan De and Emperor Zun, who had also become Red Dust Immortals, would fall far short compared to the Beginningless Great Emperor if one only looked at their lives as Mythical Heavenly Venerables.

"What kind do you like?" Lin Zezhong asked with an ambiguous tone, wondering what it meant that she thought he was good-looking but didn't like him. Could it be that she had a secret crush?

After that sudden, violent reaction, Miss Ruoxi suddenly fell into a complete coma. No matter how Chu Yifeng called out to her, she did not wake up.

Luo Zhengkun’s thoughts were not as simple as Luo Qiran’s. The few things Shen Jiaming had asked her to pass on were very clear: he already knew about the cooperation between the Luo family and the X Consortium, and he was not happy about it.

Xia Anling was pursuing advanced studies in the United States, but after receiving the call from Jing Shixue, she could no longer stay there. She took her mother and boarded the earliest flight, heading straight back to H City. If there was one thing she could truly boast about, it was her endorsements for Dihua. Dihua held extraordinary influence not just in the Imperial Capital, but even in the United States, where it made many people tread carefully.

His expectant expression made Yun Chu feel a growing weight in her heart; those irrepressible joys now carried a slight tinge of guilt.

"Congratulations, Lord Gao! Congratulations, Lord Gao!" The crowd of generals clasped their hands and saluted in unison. Alijin of the Bakhana Kingdom and Mouluo Qili of the Geluolu tribe were also among them.

When her gaze shifted back to the computer screen, Chen Yi had sent another message: Log in to your internal research institute email and take a look.

"Xia Anling, why are you here!" Gu Ruoyu glared at her. Xia Anling must be plotting something with Jing Shixue, otherwise, Jing Yunxin wouldn't have called him.

Under Nian Yujiang's insistence, Baihe continued to stay in the hospital. Nian Yujiang would come over as soon as he finished work, guarding her through the night.

This time he had selected over a dozen raw stones, but among them, only three contained high-ice grade jade. The others were ice or glutinous grade; while not without value, they paled in comparison to the high-ice grade.

"What about the details on the hands and feet?" Yang Qing was unwilling to give up. He would have preferred it if this were a real herdsman, but the matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.

It is well known that the rules of the Divine Realm are far more restrictive than those of the myriad worlds. Flying and traversing the land is a thousand times harder there, and by the same token, the power of divine abilities and martial techniques used by cultivators below the rank of god is significantly weaker than in the myriad worlds.

"Just let my dear brother do it for you." If you can't handle it, just step aside and let me take over.

Curious, I leaned my ear in. As Lei Jian approached me, a sudden whistling sound came from behind, and a fist struck Lei Jian squarely in the face.

Ye Xunhuan did not tell Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou that he had fought Wuming and been injured by him; now that Wuming had brought it up, it was inevitable that the two women would worry.

Shen Chong and Shen Feng had not yet managed to reply "Yes" when a knock sounded at the office door.

Kneeling, chanting, dancing... but the one being worshipped was nowhere to be seen; he was still inside the cauldron, and the cauldron was at the heart of the formation.

What a windfall! I always felt this old beggar was powerful, but I never expected him to be so fierce. With one roar, no one in the dungeon dared to make a scene.

From the moment Qin Zheng pulled the Black-Armored Knight down, through several exchanges, to the final summoning of a thousand holy flames, the entire process took less than half an incense stick of time. The Black-Armored Knight's long health bar was instantly depleted, and his body exploded with a bang, turning into scattered fragments that littered the ground.

Except for that one move, everyone felt that Chu Tianze had no other astonishing techniques.

"Ooh..." Lin Yourong had long known she couldn't escape the advances of Tang Ye, that overbearing rascal, so she obediently accepted it.

Production for the first season has already begun and is proceeding very smoothly. There is no need for anyone to worry about the progress.

For an expert like Xu Haibao, crossing a mountain range was naturally no problem at all. In fact, as long as he didn't want to expose his tracks, neither the local government nor special personnel would be able to discover his whereabouts.

With a sense of regret, Han Yue and the others arrived at the bridal home recommended by the agency, located on the nineteenth floor of a high-rise in the southeast corner near the school.

Zhang Lingdao followed the flow of energy within his body to search outside. He hadn't gone far when he heard a familiar voice.

"I only learned of this on the way here. Is there a prominent family called the Meng family beneath Mount Jiuhua?" Zhang Lingdao did not state his purpose immediately, but instead began to probe Ming Yuexin for information.

A-Hao was not very familiar with the game and made a mistake during the parachute jump. They had intended to land at P Port, but ended up in the wilderness outside the large factory. After sneaking along the way, they arrived at the factory safely, but before they could even search for equipment, they heard that line. Lin Chen found it hard to accept.
