Chapter 21

Only now did Xu Hao realize that the Gu family once held such immense power in Jiangnan Province, effectively monopolizing the regional pharmaceutical market.

Liao Yufei felt that the number she had guessed was already quite high, yet it turned out to be an underestimate, though not by a significant margin.

When the baby was at home, she could afford to be permissive and indulgent, but now that the wedding was imminent and she was carrying a child, it simply wouldn't do to keep acting like a child who only knew how to play.

The word "pregnant" caused Lu Xingzhi’s pupils to constrict sharply, and he abruptly released his grip on Yu Yan’s chin.

"I thought this was merely a delightful feast, but I did not expect a full Manchu-Han imperial banquet." The shock on Wu Hen’s face gradually faded, replaced by a coldness as chilling as the Grim Reaper.

Qin Chuan took the USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and after sending the videos to the employees, he began his operations.

Their captain was young; at first glance, he looked like the leader of a trade caravan. Most of his men were dressed no differently from desert merchants, their bodies wrapped tightly against the elements.

Players who knew a bit about the "Black Factory" dungeon frowned slightly, while the others simply felt a sudden chill in the air.

Take the Li, Jiang, and Ma families, for example; they are all local family clans that have been entrenched in Donghai for years.

I overestimated my athletic ability and nearly became the first student in the school to die of exhaustion on the track.

Nearly four years have passed since the Battle of Ivory Pool in the fourth year of Tianyou, when Zhou Ben defeated Wei Quanfeng and forced Lu Guangchou to surrender.

"Master, I will certainly not fail your expectations. I will make the Zhang family’s Mysterious Gate techniques world-renowned!" Lin Haochen declared solemnly.

As for Big Monkey, he was already in poor condition, having torn his muscles dozens of times, leaving him utterly exhausted. He sat in mid-air, watching as Chi Lianjie was beaten soundly, every punch landing with a thud, accompanied by screams and the spray of blood and dust.

"Big brother, just tell us. We are only reporting the facts; the mistress won't blame you," urged Qian Shi from the side.

Furthermore, Li Keyong was always fond of adopting sons; among his so-called Thirteen Taibao, everyone except Li Cunxu was an adopted son.

"Roar!" Xiao Yue let out a long howl toward the sky, his entire body erupting in immortal divine light that illuminated the entire sea of thunder.

In the pitch-black seabed, there was only silence and the occasional flickering light in the distance of the abyss—the desperate struggle for survival.

"One should see things in a new light after three days apart; Miss Feng’s footwork is getting increasingly impressive," Lu Yu said first.

From that moment on, there was a truly invincible Emperor in the world—an Emperor who feared no one and nothing, an Emperor who... seemed to have no attachments left.

Yao Ye appeared before him at some point and said coldly. Wang Kai coughed twice and prepared to bolt, but Yao Ye growled, "Wang Kai, I am going to teach you a lesson today!" This led to blood-curdling screams echoing through the company early that morning.

The thought of this matter had never left me, much like eating or sleeping. Yet, no matter how hard I tried, I could not fathom what else I could do, or what else needed to be done, on my own. After the destruction of my primordial yang, becoming a Heavenly Sovereign was my only way out. A young man of ambition should be just like this.

Most conspicuous was a doll made of cloth; not only was it dressed in human clothes, but there was also a photograph attached to its face.

To prevent the others from noticing, she hadn't told Jinxiu about the plan beforehand. Fortunately, Jinxiu was truly clever.

Although being able to bend and stretch is a good thing, who doesn't hope for their man to be an unrivaled hero?

Kong Yixian originally wanted to send Chang Yi home, but he refused, carrying her almost the entire way and kissing her the moment the door closed. After much pleading and pushing from Kong Yixian, he finally let go, the smell of alcohol radiating from his eyes.

The executioner was so terrified he had wet his pants. I don't know what he was thinking in his nervousness, but under the gaze of Li Tan’s innocent and naive eyes, he threw my physical body into the well to destroy the evidence.

Heng Yanlin looked at his opponent at this moment, the mockery in his eyes stemming naturally from that.

I could only watch as Li Tan bled; he was bleeding from every pore. Every time a drop fell, I bit my lip until my mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

During the day, it was fine with Mother Qi and the hired confinement nanny helping out, but at night, Qi Rui ze had to handle everything himself.

It was the same when they were in Luanhe City, and it remained the same as they traveled away from it. It was unclear whether he truly had nothing else to do and thus spent his whole day hovering around Xia Er, or if he considered hovering around Xia Er his primary task.

Seeing this, Qian Yiliu grabbed the boy without a second thought and reached for his waist.

Qi Yao was completely unsure which of the conflicting pieces of information in his mind were true and which were false. Especially after experiencing so much, he began to doubt his own true identity.

I discovered that the room was spotlessly clean. Because the floor was wooden, one had to remove their shoes and socks before entering.

Seeing Liu Xie’s surprise when he called out Ju Yi’s name, Han Fu had assumed that Liu Xie and Ju Yi were already acquainted.

After entering the domain of the Huntian Pagoda, Shen Er had been unable to contact his uncle, and he had assumed the pagoda was blocking him. He never expected his uncle to emerge at such a critical moment.
