Returning to China

His house was on the east side of the village, while the ancestral hall stood on the west, nearly a hundred meters apart with half the village's households lying in between. Exactly what kind of creature could carry a peach pit such a distance? It certainly couldn't be a rat, as the home rat's range of activity is generally not that wide.

The Heavenly Fire Territory was ruled by the Heavenly Fire Saint, one of the nine 'Saint Venerables.' As the name suggested, this Heavenly Fire Saint excelled above all in controlling fire! It was said that in terms of fire, no one could rival him, boasting the ability to incinerate all things in the world.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun chuckled once more; the child was quite amusing indeed. Primordial genuinely wanted to rap Yuding on the head twice—why did this child always utter such bizarre remarks whenever he saw his Master?

Shortly after, amidst a noisy commotion, the heads of the six households, still sleeping in their beds, were rudely hauled away by soldiers, wearing only their nightshirts.

Furthermore, even if Cai Mao managed to extricate himself this time, Zhou Yu would spread rumors to ensure Cao Shuo would not dare to employ him heavily. In that case, the Jingzhou faction would suffer an unprecedented blow and might very well throw themselves back into the embrace of Jiangdong.

"Shameless traitor! Today, I shall take you down." Blocked by Cao Jishuai, Yin Chang was consumed by fury and launched a frenzied attack.

However, Liu Junhao did not offer any explanation, letting the speculation run even wilder so that the abundance of swamp eels in his backyard would appear more justifiable.

Ji Chang and the other officials observed a three-day fast and vigil of purification. On the fourth day, they bathed and dressed in fresh robes with utmost sincerity. Ji Chang sat upright upon the phoenix carriage, carrying the betrothal gifts, and marched his troops in formation toward Pan Stream to welcome Ziya.

Inside the room, Tongtian was deeply dissatisfied. Why should he be punished for a hundred years just for being disciplined, while that wretched peacock was released after only a year? From then on, at the slightest opportunity, he would go and find trouble with Kong Xuan. This gave Primordial many more opportunities to instruct him and made Kong Xuan even more respectful towards his teacher—though that is a story for later.

When saying this, the boss appeared extremely impatient. Which bar had never encountered drunken patrons losing their composure? As the security guards politely put it, they were escorted out; bluntly put, they were simply "thrown out." Anyone daring to open a bar here had some connections or background, so the boss had zero worries.

Nine-Tails let out a cold snort, thrusting forward a fist wreathed in flames, bringing tyrannical physical strength to bear as she smashed toward Xiao Dongchen.

Yet, Gao Haoran looked down upon mere gold; after all, in the Great Wilderness world, gold was not a particularly precious metal. Only commoners used gold, while cultivators basically never touched such trinkets.

True essence surged and sword intent boiled. In an instant, Ling Hu drove his true essence almost to its limit, and the sword radiance completely engulfed Chutian in the blink of an eye.

Dodo's face was ashen and deeply displeased, clearly affected by Ajige's letter, or perhaps feeling perplexed and even indignant at Dorgon's coldness. Unwilling to remain in the main camp any longer—though some time still remained before the siege—he decided to head to the West Gate and wait there.

The leader assumed Yu Liang was agonizing over the soul-summoning array, completely unaware that Yu Liang was lamenting his past greed and discontent.

Li Mai's ascension to the throne naturally required the support of the various meritorious officials. His very first imperial edict upon ascending was to lavishly ennoble the old ministers of the Tiance Mansion who had aided in his rise.

To put it simply, among the five peak Dharma-phase realm experts watching the battle, there were no more than one or two who could go toe-to-toe with the Flood Dragon Emperor.

Mo Chen harbored no malicious intent and had no designs on the Desolate Pagoda. He could even help the guardian heal his internal injuries so that he might recover sooner and assist him in getting out.

As the leading figures of their respective families, if news of them fighting each other reached the ears of the Divine Medicine Sect, even the clans standing behind them would likely suffer disaster.

Yu Liang's thoughts regarding the outside were relatively simple: rushing out would instantly turn him into an ice sculpture, leaving him no chance to look at the sky ever again. If he didn't speak a few more words now, wouldn't he be at a massive loss?

"How can he not be here! Didn't you two just not do anything good in the office? Principal Xia is still inside, isn't she?" Lin Feng sneered, speaking with a expressionless face.

During this period, Su Yaxin and Lan Mengdie, who had always been at loggerheads and striving to outdo each other in everything, unusually refrained from direct confrontation, instead intentionally avoiding each other while waiting for Chang Ge's recovery.

Catching sight of Galis in the distance, Caroline perked up and waved at her.

Exerting supreme self-control, Meng Yueyun was escorted with Long Yunxiao into a large room to rest. Dropping a hasty "Do not disturb me!" she immediately sat cross-legged on the floor to meditate and quiet her mind.

Having returned in glory this time, Zhao ChengCai had amassed a great deal of wealth. Never mind building a single residence; even constructing one for Zhang Qingting's family was well within his means.

In truth, Britain genuinely appeared to be the most powerful nation at present. Possessing vast colonies, the British Empire occupied nearly a quarter of the world's landmass, firmly controlling not only Africa but also the distant Asian regions of the Arabian territories and the sprawling Indochina.

Recalling the past up to now, Chu Tian had experienced a great deal and lingered on the brink of life and death numerous times. Although the Water Kirin's strength had reached a terrifying realm, facing it did not evoke such a look of shock in Chu Tian's eyes.

All along, no matter what grievances Tang Rui encountered, her daddy's shoulders were always the harbor she could rely on most; he was her dearest kin. Although Lin Feng also counted as one, in Tang Rui's eyes, Lin Feng clearly did not cherish and indulge her the way her daddy did.
