Volume 1 Chapter 27: Then Let's Have a Kiss

Shu Xingruo sensibly handed him the bag of herbal tea. "Mr. Su, thank you for your help today. If you like these little things, please enjoy them."

Su Rongze took the tea with a gentle smile on his face. He was absolutely obsessed with the herbal tea blends Shu Xingruo made; he drank it at the office every single day, and he was only a thermos away from carrying it everywhere he went.

"Are you free to have lunch together?"

Shu Xingruo shook her head. "I have plans with a close friend, let me treat you another day."

"Sure, just let me know if you need anything."

These words sent a warm surge through Shu Xingruo's heart.

Shu Xingruo found a relatively quiet Korean restaurant nearby and ordered bibimbap, cheese rice cakes, and kimchi soup. Lin Anhe arrived shortly after...

I struggled to lift my eyes, only to see Sister Xuan pouring something from a gourd into her mouth.

Seeing his brothers laughing and crying for him, Qiao Nan felt his own eyes grow moist, though his laughter remained exceptionally boisterous.

In truth, Su Wanniang had long wanted to embark on a weight-loss crusade, but she couldn't help it; all she ate every day was sweet potato porridge, leaving her with no way to start from her diet.

"It's just that I can't finish it. We ran out of honeycomb coal at home, so I wanted to borrow two from you," He Jingyi said, sticking out her tongue.

At the same time, his heart was filled with confusion—on August 14th, what kind of ending would this cruel competition and forbidden game truly reach?

He did not know why they were talking about her, nor why she suddenly shifted the topic to whether it would snow tomorrow.

Everyone who had just regained consciousness was as muddled as Datou; they were somewhat confused about where they were and what had happened, needing time for their senses to recover.

Jiang Xianghai fought with Consort Zhuang Xian for nearly an hour before finishing. He got dressed, looking satisfied, and left only with great reluctance.

Su Wanniang’s heart tightened. There was no doubt that Er Sha had truly revealed the secret passage to these two important figures in the room.

Princess Yiyang, Fan Mingqian, and the others, coming from the prosperous capital and the south, had never seen such desolate and magnificent ancient battlefield ruins. They stopped one after another, standing on the hillside to admire the scene.

Suddenly, a long spear thrust in from the right with a whistling wind. It was clear the opponent was an extraordinary master. Yang Xuanning felt a shiver of alarm, and in the flash of a spark, she maneuvered her horse and struck down three enemy riders instantly.

With just a few simple sentences, the tone for the future landscape was set. There was none of the solemn or rigorous atmosphere one might imagine, nor even any strict security measures; it was just like a casual chat that led to an underground agreement.

A military aircraft carrying Sun Ruo and the others landed at a secret and crude military airfield on the outskirts of the ancient capital, and then the aircraft door, frozen shut by the extreme cold, opened with a series of clanking sounds.

He had to attend to Li Longji’s daily needs and could not stray too far; being able to see them off this far was already a tremendous favor. Chen Wanrong hurriedly said, "I will remember your kindness, Eunuch." He then bid farewell and left.

Shirley Yang stopped Ninth Uncle Sun, saying, "The tomb passage is even more dangerous. I saw earlier that there are many cracks in the tomb passage of the Earth Immortal Village’s yin-dwelling; the coffin worms are pervasive, and we may not be able to stop them."

When Han Feng arrived at Minghui Bar, he could hear the deafening music coming from the basement from far away. It was extremely noisy. Han Feng frowned as he reached the entrance; he really wasn't used to such an environment.

"Enough, enough. Do I need you to teach me? Just get his detailed profile over here immediately!" After saying that, Chen Wei hung up the phone quite impatiently.

This victory report plunged the entire capital into joy. Those with relatives in the military were busy inquiring whether their loved ones were safe and what honors they had won, while others were calculating when the Emperor would invest the Crown Prince, and how they should conduct themselves during the upcoming victory and prisoner-offering ceremonies to leave a good impression on the Prince of Zhao.

Hua Yuye threw a punch with heavy, explosive power. Under normal circumstances, this punch would have secured the victory, but wearing the 'duel suit' changed things. He landed three consecutive blows in the exact same spot on the chest cavity.

"Lord Helles, what should we do? More and more humans are gathering outside!" an elderly demon asked a demon over two meters tall.

When the magic-guided machine emitted such a warning sound, it meant its master had pressed the self-destruct button. After some time, the machine would detonate all its energy and disintegrate completely.

A human youth walking out from the Myriad Spirit Continent had, before even reaching the Central Heaven Dao Domain, already caused a catastrophe that led five eighth-rank sects to encircle and hunt him down. This was truly unprecedented.

"Lord Wu Jue, don't be tricked by him. This Mo Fan is extremely calculating and deep; he is clearly trying to scare you," Zhao Wanxian said from the side. Could they just give up based on a few words from Mo Fan?

"Understood." The Armored Devouring Ant acknowledged the order and turned to mobilize other Armored Devouring Ants.

Because Li Hao had at least promised her that he was willing to help her unblock her death acupuncture point. Her wish could finally be fulfilled; this trip was not in vain.

Hearing Huo Meiniang's assessment, the people below immediately began to whisper. Many were extremely tempted; in the Dongchi Province where they were located, there were few master blacksmiths, and it was rare to see complete sets of psychic artifacts, let alone tier-two ones.

"Boom!" Rupaka Fara unleashed his energy directly, causing the ground to tremble. He left the group to walk toward the dropped items, a deep blue energy ball, appearing solid, coalescing in his palm and hovering there.

"No need, I know where it is. I can go there myself." Mu reached out and pointed in the direction of the hideous giant maw.

What horrified the members of the Yin-Yang Holy Sect was that the head of this lizard demon beast, apart from being slightly flat and having a narrower mouth, was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary human. The pair of long, narrow eyes radiated a blood-red light, and one could feel the lizard's bloodthirst from afar.

"That Soul-Shaking Technique is indeed quite formidable. No wonder it could become Qin Xiaoyun's signature skill; it is truly invincible when used to ambush people!" Xu Ruogu recalled the strike just now and was quite satisfied with the result.
