"Just where on earth did you find these clothes..." Chen Mingtong asked like this: 'You wouldn't have been carrying them around with you all this time, would you...' This thought flashed through everyone's mind simultaneously.
"Since you've all discovered it, there's nothing left to hide. Do whatever you please with me," Lin Gucai said expressionlessly.
Meng Bao was fuming with anger. When things were prosperous and luxurious, he clung here desperately to enjoy and take, but now that danger had arrived, he eagerly tried to distance himself. After holding back for a moment, he still opened his mouth and said, "Sir, the streets are not safe right now. It is unsafe for you to go back."
If in the future she truly were to inherit the imperial throne, just how cold and hard must her heart become in order to securely sit upon the realm?
As for the several friends who had long been acquainted with Kira Yamato, they swarmed forward en masse toward Kira Yamato just as he stepped down from the cockpit.
She forced her eyes wide open, trying her utmost to remain calm. With her spiritual sense, she probed this unfamiliar world. She discovered that within this realm, there was not a shred of spiritual energy, nor any other gases. Fortunately, however, she could still survive for a period without breathing, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Young Master Su." As the elevator doors opened, the young woman operating the elevator immediately bowed and greeted the two of them.
Only Madam Xu and Madam Fan remained, covering their faces as they wept and collapsed onto the ground. The blazing sun shone down from the midair sky; in the vast courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, only the weeping sounds of Madam Xu and Madam Fan echoed, while Second Master Ye slumped powerlessly onto the ground. Everything was over.
"..." Zhang Yuebin kept his head lowered, making it impossible for anyone to read the expression on his face, yet his cracking, popping knuckles betrayed his inner thoughts.
"You guys are going too bullying! I—I'm going to fight you to the death!" one of Zhang Yuebin's servants shouted, drawing his blade as he prepared to brawl.
In this battle, Shebi Corpse wagered its Law of Poison, while Xiangliu wagered absolutely everything it had. If it failed, it would become Shebi Corpse's mount and enslaved beast, driven by the other party until death.
Zhu Cilang naturally would not dispatch all his forces; units led by Ma Jinzhong, Jin Shenghuan, and others would be left behind to garrison Huguang.

The passenger ship tossed and rolled amidst the great ocean, yet for Ship-Girls, seasickness was an absolute impossibility.
Upon returning to the Yan Mansion, the moment he stepped through the gates, Yan Kaitong felt a chill run through his entire body. A message talisman came whistling sharply through the empty air; Yan Kaitong reached out and grabbed it, immediately sensing wisps of bone-chilling cold emanating from within the talisman.
This made Wu Bin quickly finalize his plan for the next semester: to thoroughly master quantum mechanics, and if possible, by the way, KO all four major mechanics as well, which wasn't entirely out of the question.
Having gone through several battles, Yan Kaitong welcomed a tranquil moment amidst his exhaustion. Sitting upon a massive boulder at the edge of a cliff, the night wind brushed against his serene face. His eyes gazed into some unknown distance, his heart seemingly lost in thought.
Su Gu glanced over at Lexington, and then thought that asking Lexington about such a matter—did it mean all his oath-bound ship-girls would have to hold a meeting? His oath-bound ship-girls definitely wouldn't be happy about that.
Those elite-tier malicious spirits were all left to the Void Mantis to deal with. Even if it couldn't instantly kill them, trapping them with the Void Mantis's formidable mobility posed no problem at all.
Xie Wuxiang had no idea what this person was scheming either, and instead of answering Yan Kaitong's question, she turned around and walked away. Yan Kaitong hurried forward to block her path.
Merely absorbing these powers could no longer bring joy and satisfaction to Yan Kaitong. Such powers were practically everywhere throughout the domain realm. Yet the way out that he searched for day and night still yielded not a single clue.
However, since everyone had traveled such a long way back without eating, they agreed to go together to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
That was a round pagoda commonly seen in the Ryukyu imperial palace—golden-yellow, taller than a person, with a spire only as wide as a rice bowl. Yan Shiyue, having grown accustomed to sitting in the imperial palace, sat there as steady as a rock.
Aside from other reasons, if she missed this opportunity, Madam Yan might no longer be able to meddle in the matter of the rare soil.
Third-generation Yutong looked at Yin Bing as if looking at an absolute fool, and then he suddenly chuckled, stepping aside to clear the path.

For some reason, she simply loved to sleep hugging her older brother. Although her brother's embrace lacked the warmth of her grandmother and mother, she felt exceptionally safe and comfortable there.
Papa Jian and Jian Muxi lowered the spoons in their hands, raising their heads to look at her with matching expressions of shock and bewilderment.
In her past life, she only knew that it was an peerless treasure of the Medicine Sect; could it actually be capable of bearing fire spiritual energy?
A large mass of internal organs was torn open and spewed out. Before long, that head poked out, crawled out, and slowly... actually grew to the height of a human's thigh.
Sun Quan must have been fast asleep; the first phone call failed to wake him up, so Liu Chen proceeded to make a second call, and Sun Quan finally answered the phone.
Relying solely on external forces makes it difficult to achieve great things in the end. He had already understood this during the incident with Li Ying last time. If Wang Rui hadn't been there, the outcome of the matter definitely wouldn't have been like this. The current situation had no fundamental difference from the last one, especially since this person was Li Ying's father.
Xiao Yu's right-arm soul bone had already been exposed back during the Spirit Master Tournament, and its soul bone skill, Nether Emperor's Trembling Heavenly Wrath, had long been thoroughly studied by everyone within the Spirit Hall.
If it were anyone else in Faluo City, or even Andrew the city lord, daring to speak to Bishop Onks like that would have required paying a heavy price.
"No... absolutely not. The meeting can be postponed. Is there something special concerning your visit today? Is there some new movement over in the Great Beautiful Country again?" Li Zhong岳 immediately raised a hand, dismissing the irrelevant senior executives.
The counselor continued: "This year, student Jiang applied for the financial aid for impoverished students. I've reviewed her profile: her mother passed away and her father is in a vegetative state, but with conditions like these, she wasn't selected in the class vote."
