Volume 1, Chapter 25: It tickled, like a feather brushing against a man's heart.

Seeing the faint blue glow on the Japanese soldier’s palm, Monkey realized that the enemy’s palm strike carried yet another lethal poison. Unsure if his body could withstand this toxin, he hurriedly held his breath and met the strike with a palm of his own.

Sui Yu Yanxin was infuriated by Fu Tianpo’s actions. Part of it was certainly because he had touched her, but more so because he had intervened to help her.

"What the hell? Did you bring the entire classroom over here?" Xia Zijin shouted in shock.

At that moment, something seemed to shift; two people who were meant to remain parallel lines suddenly found an intersection.

An astonishing amount of supplies crammed the carriage, with even more lashed to the roof. Despite this, a significant amount of cargo remained. The donkeys and horses were severely overloaded; if they wanted to take it all, some people would have to clear their hands and help carry the load.

"Does Your Highness truly believe that these people pose a threat to you? As the dignified Prince of Jin, aren't you being a bit too insecure?" Chen Xuanhua retorted.

"I want to hear what Zhao Mo has been up to." Li Ziting’s thumb lingered on her lips, his dark eyes gazing into hers with a profound depth, looking every bit like he was about to kiss her.

Amidst the heavy snow, the drifting willow catkins fell like aimless flower petals—white, pure, and filled with hope.

Yuan Qing’s handsome face darkened, looking as if Yun Xiao were a lecherous predator and he were the bride she had snatched away to her mountain lair.

"Left! Right!" The front of the truck collided repeatedly with obstacles. The pickup’s initial momentum began to wane, and the windshield was smeared thick with blood, leaving only a sliver of space at the top through which to glimpse the gateway ahead.

Usually a man of composed bearing, he suddenly widened his eyes in a glare. Not only did it look out of character, but it also made Ni Er and Lin Cheng feel that he was no longer so unreachable—that he was, after all, a mortal among men.

Even with the Ministry of Justice intervening, there was no progress; in fact, the two officials assigned to the case from the Ministry had died in the line of duty.

Yu Sile, however, did not eat at all. Being a vegetarian, and with potatoes being her least favorite vegetable, she raised her chopsticks several times but could never bring herself to take a bite, feeling quite miserable. Still, she knew the following dishes would surely include something she liked. Since there was nothing to eat, she decided to make conversation.

Dongfang Yunyang seemed to have anticipated this; he immediately threw the kunai in his hand toward Dongfang Minshuo to prevent him from weaving signs.

The Nanli Kingdom had sent beauties once again, a situation eerily similar to the "Nanli Tribute of Beauties" from seventeen years ago. Which virtuous minister or general were they plotting against this time? Or perhaps, were they targeting his own mother, the consort? Princess Hongyi pondered.

The scene before him was even livelier than the Fujiwara family wedding Dongfang Yunyang had witnessed upon his arrival in the village, which showed just how much attention this Hokage election had garnered.

On the surface, he maintained a professional, business-like smile, offering her impeccable respect, attitude, etiquette, and rhetoric.

The villagers all believed in the immortals living in the mountains. At first, only a few skeptics followed the Taoist practitioner into the peaks.

"But, why do I feel like you are forcing yourself to drink it?" Ji Qingcheng asked.

As one of the few good friends of Ji Meina, Yu Linglong visited quite often, so Ji Ruxue still had some impression of her.

He even felt a trace of excitement, as he suddenly realized that Li Erlong’s abilities might exceed his imagination.

Lowering his head, he opened his eyes, watching the water trickle down from his hair. Gently stroking the [Ghoul Ring] on his right index finger, Li He’s face was filled with helplessness.

"See? This young lady is better now! I told you this Ghost-Suppressing Mystic Jade would work!" The man in the green robe was overjoyed, knowing that this was the only way he would escape disaster today.

"What? Are you planning to splash me with sulfuric acid again? You were right about one thing: I am indeed relying on Lu Liting as my backer!" Her voice was firm and resonant, leaving Su Xueer stunned. She clearly hadn't expected the usually reticent Qiao Mimi to become so sharp-tongued.

Turning around, Xue Ning walked out of the hut and suddenly saw a figure in the distance, rushing toward him at high speed.

The person who lost the previous round had to call out first. Xu Jing, acting as the indomitable "Go-getter," shouted "Ten ones" without hesitation, looking like a woman possessed.

"Don't worry! With me here, those evil things won't dare come near!" Grandfather spoke with absolute certainty. He had once entered and exited the Laoye Temple waters three times alone; no one could stop him, and it was precisely because of this that the villagers knew he possessed profound arts in this field.

In truth, I did not know that inside my sleeve, the Myriad Evil Bead had long since drained every drop of my spilled blood, showing a hint of lingering hunger.

"When you accepted that five million and prepared to harm our Madam, you should have anticipated the consequences!" Du Feng said coldly.

For instance, Liu Fangshi was a heartless woman, but Liu Shuanwang and Liu Shuanzhu were decent people. There was no need to mention Liu Shuanzhu—everyone who spoke of him gave him a thumbs-up. As for Liu Shuanwang, though he had been bedridden for years, the villagers spoke of him with nothing but praise.

When Hollier gazed at the soldiers of the Cheryl Duchy on the ramparts of Meiba Castle, the only words to describe his inner turmoil were "crashing waves."

Compared to the way Qian Jiangyue described the scene, Xiang Yong’s account failed to stir any ripples on Yu Xun’s face; he listened as if receiving a report, completely unmoved.

For the sake of his own interests, he would do anything. Moreover, the Lone Wolf often acted purely on his own whims, making his actions entirely unpredictable.

Lan Qianzhen took a fire-starter from his bosom, lit an oil lamp on the wall, twisted it a few times, returned it to its original position, and then extinguished the flame.
