Volume 1 Chapter 31 Yes, Yes, Yes! I Am Petty

Fatty Hai rubbed his eyes again, pulled out the dagger, and pressed it against the table, causing the blade to retract.

Lu Zheng felt a surge of emotion, his mind racing with countless thoughts. When he looked up at Zhang Chengxi again, his perspective had completely shifted.

"How dare you?" Chu Linkai roared, his face twisting into a hideous mask as he pointed his left hand directly at Chu Pingxiao.

"Cut the crap, you big-mouthed idiot. Don't go spouting nonsense; when have I ever been as cheap as you?" The room erupted in laughter once more. A while later, I asked everyone to leave because I wanted to be alone. My mother said she would bring me dinner in the evening, then she headed home, leaving me by myself in the hospital room.

But a grandmaster who reaches this level of cultivation is at least eighty years old. Li Fan is only eighteen; how could he possibly have achieved such a state?

Following the gaze, a handsome, imposing middle-aged man was seen stepping out of an Audi.

The Tian family looked at the two of them with a sense of guilt. Xu Nuo and Xie Xinghe had been dragged into this because of them; originally, it had nothing to do with them.

Immediately, upon seeing Xu Nuo's provocation, several men in suits gritted their teeth and charged toward him.

"Come, come, eat while it's hot. This place's chicken pot is truly top-tier, the flavor is absolutely authentic." As he spoke, Tudou moved both chairs to the table, and I took the chopsticks.

Pang Yun tracked the location of the call and gave it to Wang Yao, repeatedly urging him not to act rashly and to wait for the main force to arrive. Though he knew Wang Yao’s temper made that impossible, and that he wouldn't wait.

Zhang Jing wanted to find the treasure map because she needed to locate the treasure left behind by Yan Nantian to fulfill her mother’s dying wish.

After a while, Jiang Chen’s body was enveloped in a thick fog—not ordinary mist, but spiritual energy so concentrated that it had condensed into vapor.

I bought a cowhide water skin by the roadside and filled it with water, just in case I ended up somewhere without a water source and died of thirst.

Fu Zisu had even considered that if the country truly reached a point where it needed Yun Wu to sacrifice herself to save the world, she would certainly agree.

Sheng Changbai was startled at first, but then realized that Sheng Changyang must be the name of his newborn brother. He didn't know who had chosen it, but that was not the purpose of Sheng Changbai's visit.

He looked at the remaining residue. It seemed one was needed for each enhancement. Since his luck was decent, he decided to continue enhancing the fire element; spreading the enhancements out was not as effective as concentrating on one to boost his strength. This time, he chose to keep his eyes open to observe the changes during the process.

Actually, it wasn't surprising. With the martial arts level Lin Zhibai had reached in this world, his processing speed and wisdom were already far beyond those of ordinary people, further guided by a methodology for perceiving, understanding, and transforming the world.

Madam Zeng looked at Zeng Baliang, who appeared to be bowing his head in respectful submission, and felt a surge of fury. It was always this look that made Zeng Benzhang feel as though she, as an aunt, were abusing her nephew.

At this, Sheng Hong glanced at the old matriarch. The old matriarch understood his implication and offered a gentle reminder.

However, Mu Tian was lost in his own thoughts, ignoring the look of desperate plea entirely, and descended with a restless, conflicted mind.

"The Horn of War—a horn passed down from an ancient empire. It possesses incredible magic, allowing a commander to inspire the morale of their soldiers and significantly boost their combat power," Ye Zi noted.

Hearing Feng Lian’er’s seemingly indifferent words, Mo Di narrowed his eyes. She was telling him that if anything happened to Mu Tian, his own fate would be even worse. He remained silent and sat quietly in his seat.

Xiu Ju and Si Zhu were both startled. But when they looked at Yingchun, her gaze was calm—deadly calm.

Then, to the shock of everyone present, she swiftly pulled out six crystals and tossed them toward Lin Mufeng as if they were trash.

Si Zhu and Huai Jiao turned pale. "Mistress, please don't scare us," Huai Jiao said, her eyes brimming with tears.

"What an amazing method for steaming noodles, and I have never seen such a technique for proofing dough before," remarked a half-elf.

"To desire the shepherd, one must first break the sky. Could it be...?" The next moment, Mu Tian regained his clarity, his lips curling into a slow, sinister smile as he uttered the words.

"You seem to be in a very good mood!" Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but say when she saw Shimura Yo return, though a deep, lingering worry clouded her brow. What Shimura Yo had done today had already spread; the entire Hidden Leaf Village knew about it by now.

As for the weapon's attack power? That was no longer Ye Zi’s primary pursuit. He now had contracted pets and fairy units; he was not lacking in that department.

Du Youlan laughed after hearing this: "It seems I am the only troublesome one; I must always be accompanied by several people wherever I go."

Tianchu asked Yun Zhen and Yun Fei to walk ahead and find another way out, and the group followed them back the way they came.

To encourage the young and able-bodied to join the army and to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely, Zhang Liao reduced the taxes for military households. For families with seven or fewer members, if one person enlisted, taxes were halved; if two enlisted, taxes were completely waived. Wealthy families, powerful clans, and large households were not included in this policy.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager had just risen from her afternoon nap. Hearing that the Right Prime Minister had an urgent matter to report, she granted him entry while her personal attendants helped her rise, checking to ensure her appearance and attire were appropriate.

The implication in these words was very clear: if the Sun family still had designs on her master, it would no longer be as the principal wife. The principal takes precedence, and "precedence" means first; therefore, Qu Ying would be Ming Cong's first wife.

"High speed!" "Malicious pursuit!" "Fury Swipes!" No sophisticated technique was needed to deal with an already broken enemy. With the groundwork laid by Pin Missile, even just Malicious Pursuit was enough to completely incapacitate the two Dragonairs. However, to save time, Sakaki proceeded steadily with High Speed.

Furthermore, at the very end, the widow must have struggled desperately; there were bloody scratches all over the coffin lid, and her fingers and toes were broken—a truly gruesome sight.

Hu Zhen’s body stiffened, and he slumped to the floor, no longer having the strength to argue. He had assumed Hu Cheng had taken a different path, but he had actually gone to Dong Zhuo. It seemed Dong Zhuo had learned of his clandestine communication with Henei the previous night; no wonder Dong Zhuo had punished him so severely.

"Then what about your battle with Ayame?" Since she never studied Pokémon knowledge and only had a superficial understanding, how could she compete against a Gym Leader? Even if it was a mediocre one.

Qu Hai followed his wife, watching as she obediently walked slowly upstairs. Once home, seeing her sit on the sofa with a normal expression, his heart finally settled. He personally tidied up the items they had bought, the family of three calling out to each other from different rooms from time to time.
