Why are you locking the door?

Chen Shian had never been in the habit of visiting empty-handed, so he carried an eight-pound topmouth carp and went with Wen Zhixia back to her grandparents' village for a meal.
Chen Shian was quite familiar with rural life. Compared to the small mountain village at the foot of the Daoist temple, Chongming Village appeared considerably more prosperous.
Most of the roads in the village were paved with cement, barely wide enough for two lanes. Occasionally, when cars approached from opposite directions, they could easily pass each other by pulling slightly to the sides.

Sun Buqi was left speechless by the rebuke, but knowing he was in the wrong, he could only rub the back of his head and let out a silly chuckle.

Just as we were in utter chaos, a booming voice suddenly rang out directly in front of us. Instructor Chen was seen walking toward us at a leisurely pace, his gaze piercing.

Grandpa Chopsticks said, "Yes, that's right. Didn't that monk tell you that you possess the roots of wisdom? That settles it; you have a natural affinity for Buddhism. As long as you copy the Avalokitesvara Sutra through the night, the boy attendant of Guanyin Bodhisattva will manifest to subdue the demons."

"Indeed, the heavens and myriad realms are vast and boundless. This world is merely one of them. To be ranked first in this world, when placed among the myriad realms, is nothing more than third-rate. Although various sects style themselves as immortals and deities, the gap between them and true immortals and deities is as vast as heaven and earth," Chen Fan said.

Liu Dajin muttered in silence, recalling the scams he had pulled in the past and the "greenhorns" he had cheated. Whenever the victims came looking for him, he would dismiss them with a few words about the unwritten rules of the antique trade, brushing them off. Though he had suffered a silent loss this time, he indeed had no ground to stand on.

"Deputy Director Qin, you're here." Before Qin Fen had even reached the room, he heard someone shouting across the hallway.

Calculated at this rate, from the Isatis root harvest alone, she would be able to pocket at least twenty-five to thirty taels of silver this year.

Chen Fan walked softly to her side and smiled at Lin Lexuan. Under his gaze, a blush crept onto her cheeks again, and lowering her head, she wanted to leave.

Accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, tens of thousands of miles away from Qin Yu, a flash of white heavenly lightning appeared, and countless weapons manifested in the void in an attempt to withstand this terrifying heavenly thunder.

Over the past few days, no bizarre events had occurred, so the villagers finally felt at ease. However, just as I was preparing to leave Fengmen Village, a faint trace of doubt suddenly arose in my heart, for I had a subtle sensation that a pair of eyes was staring intently at me from the dark.

Jing Xiaoxiao had originally intended to call Wen Jin as well, but she hadn't expected him to call first. Seeing the caller ID, she hesitated for two seconds before pressing the answer button.

Even Princess Fang, who had previously descended riding a swan, was overshadowed, because the socialites surrounding her were darting their eyes restlessly across the room, presumably searching for Gailohua, the undisputed beauty of Qingzhou.

So many Seven-Star Pill Gods had been deliberating for a whole month before deducing just one principal medicinal ingredient. It was evident that gathering all seven was no easy task.

Gangzi nodded along and began to bid farewell. As he reached the door, he turned back to remind Grandma to call him if anything came up, promising he would be at her beck and call.

This inevitably led some to associate the scene with the three figures standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. Could it be that immortals from one of the other three Immortal Emperor Mansions had arrived?

Although Ye Yuan had managed to persuade Yuan Fei, the latter only half-believed Ye Yuan's arrogant claims.

After their lips and tongues disentangled, in the brief moment of separation, he sighed. Before Qiqi could offer any defense, he covered her lips in a heavy kiss once more.

Early this morning, the core members of the Liu family, led by the patriarch Liu Yingqi, gathered at the entrance of a rock face behind the fortress mountain.

"Senior Brother, you now have a junior brother with an undying soul body. Shouldn't you be happy?" Ye Yuan laughed.

Ever since Xu Shaofeng had thoroughly shaken up Jianmin Hospital under the Zhu family's instigation, Zhu Fugui had become a completely idle man. This suited his desires perfectly, allowing him to dedicate himself entirely to tinkering with his beloved radio equipment. Consequently, over the past half month, Mo Feng had seen Zhu Fugui fewer than five times.
