25 Reminiscence

“What hidden danger?” Upon hearing this from Lagmangs, the old regent’s curiosity was immediately piqued, and he couldn’t help but ask.

Duanmu Zhige persistently sought to grow stronger step by step, refusing to bow to Zhang Lingyi and his son. Lin Yue seemed to see a reflection of himself in her.

“Do you have any other lines? Always the same one—‘You should have killed me earlier, then there would be no problem.’ But now, you’ve lost that chance. My revenge is only just beginning. The real show is yet to come.” With that, Chu Tian went to the balcony and jumped down.

With the most authoritative experts collaborating with top-tier architectural design, and the financially unrestrained Wen Yiming, Mingyuan Studio was sure to become the most prestigious private museum.

Xu Yang looked up, his cold, dark eyes seeming to harbor a lurking beast. He narrowed them slightly, and after a moment, he returned his gaze to the communication jade slip.

At present, neither Xue Dingqiu nor Zang Fengdan could handle their own affairs, making it impossible for them to come and assist. Meanwhile, the forces of the Diram Federation and survivors from the Tirituun Kingdom could not face the Imatas troops alone.

Liu Ming pushed open the door to President Liu Yu’s office and stepped in slowly. He saw Liu Yu holding a cup of hot coffee, staring blankly outside.

In truth, most second-generation wealthy heirs were the same—not foolish, but enamored with the power of being surrounded and admired. They used money to buy so-called respect, and even if they knew it wasn’t genuine, they refused to confront the truth, numbing themselves and indulging in the illusion.

Then he picked up another piece, dipped it lightly in wasabi and soy sauce. The wasabi’s sharpness enhanced the layers of the dried tofu skin, while the specially made soy sauce was not too salty but full of umami, making it a perfect match.

“Even the archaeologists at the excavation site were deeply puzzled when they saw it—could this be a beer mug brought back to ancient times by a time traveler?”

After a round of socializing, Liu Yihan felt exhausted. Though everyone was familiar, the sheer number of people was tiring. Liu Yihan truly disliked such social obligations but knew well that sometimes, certain things were beyond one’s control.

“All right then, having Yihan drive does make things more convenient,” Quan Huishu finally smiled and nodded in agreement.

By the bedside, an elderly woman of about seventy with white hair held the old man’s hand blankly, motionless.

When Su Duoduo was given a hint, she immediately started her dyeing studio. But seeing how serious I was, she could only nod reluctantly.

Siyu, I will consider you a friend from now on, but don’t come to me with matters like this again.

“Dugu Yingcheng, don’t play tricks. Dare you say you didn’t drug me?” Known far and wide, Dugu Yingcheng prided himself on being a man who took responsibility for his actions.

“How could I not ask? Be honest—what did you do to him?” Gu Fengmian furrowed his brows and asked.

Supporting herself with her weak arms, she suddenly felt a coolness on her chest. Looking down, she found a chain around her neck that hadn’t been there before.

“Interesting, very interesting…” His dark eyes lifted, arching his brows with a faint smile curling at the corner of Nangong Tianlan’s mouth. Yet beneath the brows lay a chill as he slowly stroked his chin, eyes fixed on the man and beast, plotting something unknown.

They still thought she was, as before, a naive and foolish girl, allowing them to bully her without knowing how to respond.

Comrade Hu Daming had traveled extensively on this trip. Ultimately, the team that completed the assessment was the Special Unit of the Northern Camp. They all participated, but like other units, only 100 remained. Such density was considerable—how could a regiment compare to an entire army?

Lin Feng nodded, opening his mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent. He glanced at Xie Jun with a complicated expression before looking away. For a moment, the ward fell silent. Outside, under the sunlight, dry leaves rustled and rolled across the ground, stirred by the north wind.

Men in ancient times were rarely devoted or faithful. For them, a wife was less than a concubine, a concubine less than a courtesan, a courtesan less than a thief, and a thief less than an unsuccessful thief. Men, after all, were often drawn to self-degradation.

“Others may be good, but others are still others. If you had been a bit smarter back then, would our family have to be so stingy and scrimp as we are now?” Thinking this, Li Qi couldn’t help but complain.

Li Haifeng had no objection and smiled in agreement. As for the wedding date, he would find the most famous master in Hong Kong to select an auspicious day—likely around October, when the autumn air was crisp and perfect for a wedding.

“Bastard!” Hearing the conversation, Zhang Liao flew into a rage. An insult to the ruler was an offense to the minister as well. Furious, he stood up, but was stopped by Xiao Tianci.

In other dimensions or planets, it might be tenuous, but on the Warrior Continent, his strength had truly reached this level.

After hesitating, Xie Jun carried Shanggong Yingdai with one hand, carefully gauging the direction before sprinting full speed ahead.

In fact, not only was Leti the Sword Saint present, but the Sword Saints of the other two great empires had also come. Though each harbored different intentions and goals, all suspected that the beast uprising was likely caused by that mysterious powerful figure. In other words, the terrifying presence they had sensed before had probably entered the Beasts’ Forest.
