Chapter 55: The Gala

In all his years, having faced countless choices laid out before him, he had never felt as lost as he did now, unsure of which path to take.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he sensed that the membrane-like barrier around his broken bones had completely dissipated. The Divine Devouring energy had successfully begun cleansing his wounds, and his bones were starting to knit back together. He decided to tend to his injuries and focus on cultivation first.

Yet, even amidst the calm of daily life, a significant event occurred for her: the Hong Weiguo family indeed departed. This time, however, Zhang Tong took their son to Kyoto first, with Hong Weiguo following behind.

Later on, favored by the Grand Empress Dowager—who had been the Empress Dowager at the time—Nanny Qian was entrusted with handling various covert and sensitive matters for her.

"Love requires interaction and mutual effort. If you don't even give your lover the slightest opportunity to give, how can you call it love? I just wanted to watch the sunset with you, but I've asked six times, and not once have you ever come out," Junjun said.

Ji Meng's eyes rolled, a look of cunning and mischief spreading across her gaze. Why not play along and wipe them all out in one fell swoop, saving them from hopping around in front of her like grasshoppers and causing endless annoyance?

"I'm serious. You should leave first. He has many people with him; if a conflict breaks out, you... you won't come out on top," Qiao Chu genuinely hoped he would leave, as she could not bear to see him get hurt.

Returning to the set, although everyone appeared to be busy with their own tasks, it was not hard to notice them casting stealthy, evaluative glances in their direction.

Immersed in her own world, Gu Pan would never know just how deeply Duan Muyan cherished the present version of her.

She carefully observed the subtle and peculiar changes in Xiang Shaolong, and asked coldly, her tone clearly displeased.

After all, she had gone so far as to threaten Xie's mother repeatedly to achieve this. Moreover, based on his understanding of Su Yuxuan, there was simply no way Su Yuxuan could have devised such a foolproof plan on his own, one that even left Xie Wanying completely oblivious.

"Senior, do you always subject yourself to such immense pressure?" Xie Wanying could easily read the suppressed turmoil accumulated in Lou Yucheng's heart from his carefully veiled expressions.

If judged by the architectural standards of the old era, its subterranean depths clearly concealed even more untold secrets.

"However, since a spiritual energy vortex of such terrifying power could be unleashed, it seems there must be top-tier powerhouses among the Blood Demons. It looks like this time won't be so effortless after all," Baize the Great Demon Sovereign mused anxiously.

At that moment, Lu Yaoyao was jolted awake by a sudden bump. Touching her injured head, she could not help but let out a sharp hiss of pain.

One could say that the Black Dragon Soarer, embedded with the epic-quality All-Spark fragment, was already an exceptional piece of "flexible reactive armor."

Although George was merely borrowing the tiger's might to intimidate them, Marilyn and the others obediently accepted the instruction without daring to raise a single objection.

"Not to complain? It sounds so easy, but doing it is so hard!" Xu Liuli murmured, staring blankly at the empty cliffside.

The heart that had been hanging in Xu Liuli's throat instantly dropped back into place. Safety was all that mattered; as long as they were safe, nothing else was a problem.

Old Lü explained that he had set up a foothold in the side room, and apart from his workspace, everything else had been left untouched, preserved in its original state.

Black flames suddenly erupted, and an energy tempest swept across the void, reducing countless meteorites and shooting stars to absolute ash.

Although the wooden box remained hidden within the void, the fluorescent powder clinging to its surface outlined its contour, making it visible to the naked eye.

With the primordial pearl supporting the battle array, Muyu no longer cared about the consumption. In short, the array must not be allowed to halt; otherwise, once the battle diagram entered a buffer period, it would be impossible to quickly restore the array to its peak performance. Under the current circumstances, such a situation would be fatal.

It was a heavy snow day, and the morrow would bring the New Year. Hearing that Fu Bi wanted to change the reign title, Han Qi jumped out and declared, "That's fucking useless," and after a bunch of idle nonsense, the idea was dropped.

Every single combat method at Ye Chen's disposal was fully unleashed. The people before him were utterly incapable of resisting, and under his onslaught, every last one of them perished right there.

"My inner self has no ripples, completely serene!" Xu Liuli closed her eyes, merging herself into nature, and spoke in a moderate, steady tone.

To supply water to tens of millions of people, the water treatment plant had expanded its grounds year by year, now covering thousands of acres, with all purification pools fully automated by computers.

Ray grabbed Stan by the armpits and thrust the knight upward with all his might. Combined with Stan using virtually every ounce of his remaining strength to climb, the branch finally came within reach.

Before the words fully faded, Qin Aoqing tapped Xia Mo on the neck, instantly rendering her mute and leaving her able only to glare at him with furious eyes.

It did not matter, though; as long as they were superheroes, perhaps they could help out somewhere.

Xia Mo's hand trembled, and an arrow was released without her conscious volition, piercing the long corridor and plunging into the rain. A sharp clang echoed as the arrow struck the sign of the triangular shop at the street corner.

Yuyun logged into QQ, clicked on the URL, and looked in astonishment. It was actually the fanfiction story she had posted and illustrated on the official forum! Could this be destiny?
