Volume One, Chapter 49: You Jin Steals a Kiss from Her

You Jin breathed with his lips slightly parted, his eyes burning with heat as his Adam's apple bobbed.

He lowered his head, picked up Song Wanxi's delicate, boneless hand like a tender white scallion, and gently wiped it.

Her hands were remarkably white and slender, tender and soft, with fingernails that were rosy, translucent, neat, and clean. Against his rough and calloused palms, they looked even more dainty and childlike.

The next round must be won brilliantly to silence the critics; Mu Qianxun absolutely refused to allow herself to lose to Helian Jiuyang.

The 73rd Regiment delivered the supplies to Houtou Gully right on schedule, but there was not even a shadow of the Red Spear Society, who should have been leading the way. Commander Liang wondered secretly whether old Chu had led his men carrying ten old rifles up into the mountains to become bandits.

It felt like a thorn embedded deep in her heart, aching sharply, mixed with scattered drops of blood and tears. In truth, even she herself could not understand why she cared so much.

This name had been given to Chen Dong by his father. Who could have imagined that such a promising young master would sink into his current state? Looking at his expression, there was still a genuine emotional bond with his father.

Therefore, she could not simply pretend that nothing had ever happened, hand the jade pendant over to her, and hurry away.

Although they had easily taken down Mingqi's team, that was only because they relied on Wang Kai's established tactics to pull it off so cleanly. Now that everyone was familiar with these tactics, trying to succeed again would likely be impossible.

"Hmph, 'happy' is an understatement; he is practically strutting around high on himself. My brother says he's going to take the championship this time, but I certainly don't believe it!" Wang Xiaoya claimed she didn't believe it, but in her heart, she believed it a hundred times over.

Hui Xiang was worried that her son would lose his prestigious status as the primary legitimate eldest son in the future, and that his position would end up inferior to Ning'er's.

Now that two months had already passed, Tian Qi and the others couldn't help but feel anxious. Before they left, Tian Xiong had already begun attempting to break through to the Divine Dan Realm, and they wondered if he had succeeded by now.

Returning to her own room, tears rolled down her cheeks, one drop after another. The warm tears dripped onto her hands, yet they felt ice-cold.

While they were not ones to shy away from trouble, they still held a certain fear for the very uniforms they wore. They might not fear hoodlums and dared to stand up to them, but they would never dare to cross someone wearing that specific uniform. Therefore, the fat man and his companion felt not a single trace of worry in their hearts.

Liu Kuan, together with Yang Ci and Zhang Ji, lectured Liu Hong in the Huaguang Hall as Imperial Tutors. Unfortunately, Zhang Ji had passed away from illness two months ago.

Thinking that Qingcheng was actually an accomplice as well, Sun Qian felt as if all sorts of flavors were churning inside his heart, leaving him hopelessly conflicted and tangled.

After speaking, Shao Li gathered a pile of branches and carried them to the cave entrance, then returned to fetch a burning branch.

"This is my newly developed machine, a robot designed to manufacture everyday defensive weapons," Mu Qingzi said with a proud expression. For a youth like him, achieving such a grand feat was something entirely beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.

Especially after hearing their conversation just moments ago and realizing that they genuinely intended to sell her into a brothel, panic began to flutter in her heart.

For a grandmaster of formations like him, the thought of bringing the legendary Immortal-Slaying Formation of antiquity back into the world through his own hands was an intensely thrilling prospect.

Because the terrain in the southern part of Kaoshan Village was higher, the wheat ripened earlier there, whereas the northern part of the village consisted mostly of low-lying land, making the wheat ripen slightly later than in the south.

With a sudden explosive roar from Lin Hai, the gigantic Immortal-Extinguishing Mountain before them began to shake violently. For a moment, the earth quaked and mountains trembled, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth splitting open.

Hearing this, I nodded solemnly, feeling a shock in my heart. I hadn't expected Daoist Guanxing to be able to perceive everything that had just been passing through my mind.

Under Aurelian's stern and righteous warning, Al chose to follow her advice, only to look up at Aurelian after a moment of thought and ask.
