Volume One, Chapter 51: The Separation of the Family!
Everyone thought that they were just close friends, and that Huo Xiu was simply taking care of his roommate out of kindness.
To be precise, Li Yihu and Hu Teng were as steady as a mountain, while Doctor Liu excitedly kept tugging their arms; this situation could only be described as a one-sided beating.
“Hey, what do you think about starting a business that opens portals using nightmare grass?” Chu Ge suddenly brightened with an idea.
“Alright, let’s start from a hundred years ago,” Crosso Asclepius decided.
“If you want, I can make sure you never see me again!” William gave a half-smile and glanced at the Frog Prince, Helu.
But whether it was Mi Fei or myself, neither of us could bring ourselves to strike him, even though we were fully aware that the clan elder was long gone and that he was now a puppet controlled by dark magic. Yet, faced with that familiar face, our hearts were tangled, unable to strike.
Chen Yao suddenly grabbed Ji Zi’s collar with one hand, while the other repeatedly slapped Ji Zi’s face, swearing not to stop until she had scratched it. Meanwhile, below, the legs moved even faster than a Muay Thai fighter’s, delivering whip-like kicks to Ji Zi’s groin.
He had always harbored feelings for Xu Qingya, but unexpectedly, someone else had beaten him to it. Looking at Yang Chaoran’s careless demeanor, even dressed formally, he lacked the aura of a business elite.
With sword intent, spiritual power, and vital energy all infused into the longsword in his hand, he entered an incredibly profound state, somewhat similar to Lin Suqi’s earlier condition.
Yin Mo wanted to say something more, but upon seeing Zhen Yun’s furrowed brows, she quickly dismissed the thought.
When Qi Man’an opened the door, a dozen neighbors were crowded outside, all came to visit upon hearing Qi Yin had returned.
Guo Fuyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief behind her father, finally freed from the arranged marriage.
But deep down, she thought, Liu Yuanyuan was already with him, so spending some money on her was nothing.
Kou Xi couldn’t help but think that such a beautiful transfer student would surely cause a sensation.
“Don’t get excited, that’s not what we meant!” Kou Xi hurriedly reached to touch her hand, but Jin Ling pushed his hand away.

Ten years... From a mortal’s perspective, it seemed too long. But from her thousand-year-old perspective, it was not long at all.
“Since that’s the case, Manager Zhang, I won’t have Western food anymore. I’ll come find you this afternoon to discuss cooperation matters,” Jiang Menghan said as she opened the car door, ready to leave.
Kou Xi had never known that Huo An had been arranging for Aji to stay by her side all along, nor that Aji, worried as he saw Kou Xi growing closer to Dong Yinglei, had come over to work for her.
One-tenth strength, two-tenths strength, three-tenths, four-tenths—he kept increasing his effort to full strength but still did not draw his sword.
While investigating the Swallow Moon Palace, Ai Rui discovered Ai Chu’s whereabouts. Further inquiry revealed a shocking truth.
Days passed, and they still hadn’t reached the coast. Shen Jun grew anxious. At this pace, when would they arrive? He took out a compass and studied it carefully: the north needle wavered, the south needle was broken—the compass was damaged.
For months, this was the only sleep he’d had that was deep and satisfying. Once the mind relaxed from that intense state of tension, everything changed.
They planned to attend C University together and study acting, but because his father disapproved, he had to change his choice. He wasn’t someone with lofty dreams; he studied acting simply because she liked it.
Yin Huai truly didn’t want to return to the shipyard, but he had no choice—three injured brothers were waiting for money.
“I knew it, I knew it!” Liang Yan saw the untidily bandaged arm of Li Zixiao and burst into tears.
Da Min was not oblivious to the approaching Vietnamese man; he could even sense that the man was behind him, dangerously close. Yet, Da Min was powerless—as his blood continued to flow out, he had no chance to save himself.
Just as Luo Caiyu hesitated whether to interrupt Qi Ming’s seclusion, the door, closed for three months, finally opened from the inside.
She completely ignored Wu Man—or perhaps truly didn’t see him—only noticing the extremely hateful figure blocking her view.
Lin Song swung thousands of blows in succession, drenched in sweat, his whole body soaked, yet he failed to break the hard object. Sitting in the boat, he collapsed like mud.
From the very start, Cao Cao had placed great hopes on Cao Chong, but fate was cruel. He sincerely wished that his beloved child could soar freely in another world.

Li Yifeng looked at Wu Xin’s expression and sighed silently in his heart. Well, he had been beaten up again.
The two had been through so much to reach this point. Although not openly together, in Leng Chenxuan’s heart—
“Would you like to go back and change clothes?” Cui Qingshui, knowing he had upset her, awkwardly tried to appease her.
After an embrace spanning their entire youth, the four of them could only weep helplessly, seemingly unable to do anything else.
He still couldn’t believe Hua Xu would do such a thing; in his eyes, she had no reason to.
Moreover, with the Li family’s power, there must have been more than one person restraining Fan Huineng.
There was no time to ponder these questions; Mu Siyue was pushed by Wang Nu and fell to the ground on the other side.
Qu Ying’s expression changed as he looked at Ye Xiu again. He was pondering that he had never seen this unfamiliar face at any of the wealthy young elite gatherings in the capital. Could Ye Xiu be from out of town?
The elven chief considered it and thought that relying on the one-eyed tyrant was utterly unreliable, akin to bargaining with a tiger.
As for offending those national governments, Chen Jin didn’t care. His experiences across multiple dimensions had taught him a hard truth: as long as your fists are strong, no one can touch you. With enough power, you can do whatever you want. If they don’t agree, just fight back.
Suddenly, a golden longsword appeared in his left hand, and miraculously, a slightly shorter silver longsword hovered beside it.
