Volume One, Chapter 23: You Should Just Get Married Soon

The white card in his hand transformed into a magic circle that floated upward, from which a one-meter shield slowly took shape. It emitted a rich, white radiance before turning into a white rainbow that merged into Luo Qi’s body.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he had spent the last two days with Li Zhan and found him to be a decent person, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to recruit him to build a bond of goodwill. If he had turned out to be an ungrateful ingrate, Chu Ge wouldn't have bothered with him, even if he possessed the Ancestral Dragon physique like Luo Qi.

Qinghe looked in the direction of Tai Yu’s finger, her heart shattering with terror: her mother, her older brother, and her sister-in-law were all bound tightly and thrown onto the ground, unconscious.

How could A'hei be at ease? He chased for the distance of an arrow's flight, watching the disappearing back of "Ding Dong" from afar. His heart surged with overwhelming emotion, tears streaming down his face. Yet, worried for Qinghe, he dared not be careless and flew back.

In reality... Qin Qian simply hadn't seen a pharmacist's license in a long time. Having controlled the Pharmacist Tower for a full hundred years, she had long forgotten what one looked like.

Wang Junjie seemed to have realized something as well; his face, already pale from becoming a ghost, was filled with indignation, as if he had suffered a great grievance and insult.

Upon arriving at the Grand Theater and seeing the poster of Qin Lina standing against the wall, Hu Yang immediately felt a wave of nausea.

"I just saw that Luo Qi had already mastered the power of laws, and I wanted to study it in advance." Seeing how agitated Morpheus was, Chu Ge felt it best to keep a low profile to avoid further upsetting him.

Yu Wushen gazed at her for a long while. A look appeared in those purple eyes that made Qin Qian’s heart ache, and she immediately lowered her head.

Shuai Guo knew it was a misunderstanding the moment he heard, but just as he was about to explain, he found no way to begin. With so many people around, he thought to himself, "I'll explain next time."

Based on his own observations, given the thriving momentum of this nascent empire, achieving hegemony in the Nanyang region was likely only a matter of time. Although the Dutch were powerful, Europe was simply too far away.

He had expected Li Weizheng to be dismissed and demoted, but unexpectedly, while he could no longer serve as a Thousand-Man Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had transformed into the Regional Commander of Weihaiwei. Without a hereditary title, he had leaped to become a third-rank Regional Commander at the age of twenty-four, which truly surprised Ye Tianming. He couldn't help but recall his mother’s advice: "The eldest son of the Li family has the appearance of a fish turning into a dragon."

"On the strength of your one-sided words alone, you want me to cast aside all regard for life and death? How likely do you think that is?" Tian Maoping’s gaze was clear and cold, unmoved. Unless he received a clear explanation today, he would not offer his assistance.

The leading elder smiled slightly. "Is the Senior heading toward Lingyun Grotto?" Hmm? Young Master Nie was startled. How could they know? Could it be that they were also heading to Lingyun Grotto?

Slowly, dark clouds spread out, making the weather look terrible. The atmosphere was already oppressive enough facing the demon race, and the heavy-looking clouds only made one feel more depressed.

One must have a beginning to have an end. As a player ranked below ninety-five on the Heavenly Rankings, he naturally did not need to follow the restriction that one must be challenged to gain the opportunity to issue a challenge; otherwise, the Ultimate Sword Tournament could never have begun.

"You thug, hurry and get Bi Fang to dodge! This spell of Lady Mei’s has the characteristics of chain attacks and stacking damage!" Tie Dan said urgently.

They visited the Ouchi clan without any malice. They hoped to be able to dock on the island, but the island’s defenders refused. They then guided the Ming fleet to anchor in a natural harbor on the island. Li Weizheng sent Zhou Ming and a Thousand-Man Commander as envoys to Northern Kyushu to negotiate with the Ouchi clan.

Just as Zhang Yi was filled with worry, he suddenly received a secret edict from the Emperor, ordering him to join forces with Li Weizheng to suppress Lan Yu. However, he was not to hand over military power to Li Weizheng, which relieved Zhang Yi, indicating that the Emperor also understood the consequences of Li Weizheng entering Sichuan.

"Haha, I’ve finally returned! There are so many experts in the cultivation world now; come, let me introduce them!" Gao Xiang said with a loud laugh.

"The details are that there have been a total of five incidents at that restaurant recently. Two people died in the first two, and the third and fourth were false alarms. If today's incident isn't stopped in time, it will be a world-shocking disaster," Xu Tian said.

Talent is something that, after achieving the Primordial Spirit and being tempered by the Nine Calamities, could turn even a pig into a peerless genius. Furthermore, after establishing one's Dao Heart, all combat is based on the Primordial Spirit; talent is no longer a limitation.

Lin Fan closed the newspaper with satisfaction. The intuition of the Wall Street media was definitely sharper than Lin Fan had imagined, though perhaps this was also the result of Dimon fanning the flames. But what made Lin Fan happy was that he didn't see any information about himself in it. Lin Fan didn't mind the feeling of being famous, but he certainly didn't want it now.

The two bowed in thanks. These were representatives of the Hong Leong Kwek family of Singapore; Kwek Leng Beng was from the main branch, and Kwek Leng Seng was from a side branch, though the bloodline remained.

In this combat posture, King was aware of danger and could observe the opponent's moves. Although his strength and speed had not increased, he felt much more confident when facing combat.

King slightly eased the force in his hands. Originally intending to kill with one blow, he prepared to spend a little more time dismantling it to understand what exactly it was.

"We just need to stay here until dawn. Once day breaks, we’ll leave here immediately," Yu Yi said.

The group glanced at the crystal ball, indifferent to the words of the Great Existence. It didn't matter that they lacked Alan’s personal belongings—at most, they would just be scolded by the Great Existence. But if they did have them, things would not be so simple.

Just as he walked into the courtyard, he ran into his Third Uncle carrying a bucket of water. He then remembered he hadn't greeted his Third Uncle yet.

Looking at the feathers on their bodies, Hua Shan knew they were the three holy angels who had just been injured, and she asked with deliberate difficulty.

"Hey, how can you just go through someone else's things!" The exorcist, sitting on the sofa with a straight face, looked at Wang Qiang. He really didn't know the meaning of shame; where was the pride of an exorcist now?

He was so excited he almost jumped up, but his lofty faith caused him to kneel down instead. He was waiting for a reward from the gods, a reward usually delivered by angels.
