Author's Note

The feeling of being held by him like this was wonderful, and in the end, she couldn't help but yield, quietly allowing him to embrace her.

It wasn't convenient to bring too many things, so these would suffice, Ji Wei said with a smile. Besides, if anything was needed, it could always be bought over there.

"You probably don't even remember what your mother looked like, because she died in prison. Your father likely never told you the cause of her death..." Mother Yan paused as she reached this point.

Lin Zhi waved her hand at Li Meili to signal that she shouldn't worry, while silently swearing to herself that, given the chance, she would stay far away from that bastard Xiao in the future.

Jing Tian was still clutching Shuang Jue’s arm tightly, and upon hearing Liang Chenxiao’s words, she looked at Shuang Jue with eager eyes.

Although she and Bo Jinghan always took thorough precautions, there was still that one-in-ten-thousand chance of an accident happening.

Jing Tian had been working out and controlling her diet for months; while her weight loss was effective, it was a gradual process.

"May I ask... why you are unwilling to accept me?" Shen Xingyu gave a bitter smile, his heart filled with disappointment.

Moreover, she was not certain if the Xuanmo Illusion Realm could be discovered by others... As of now, the only person Ji Wei couldn't be sure about was Qin Changge.

"The hard work is basically done!" By now, it was late afternoon, and Jing Tian’s clothes were soaked with sweat.

Feng Chen, however, had no such concerns. Although Mo Tianxing was not as skilled as Sikong Yi, he was still a formidable expert in his own right, and his recovery ability would certainly not be weak.

Hiashi Hyuga stood with his arms crossed inside his sleeves, looking at the uninvited guests with a cold expression, his tone calm. Though he appeared composed on the surface, he was terrified inside; he had never imagined that there would come a day when the Hyuga compound would be infiltrated.

When they reached the street leading to the county magistrate's office, they could see from a distance several lanterns hanging outside the gates, along with squads of soldiers patrolling with torches.

At that moment, a commotion broke out at the door. Shen Xingyan frowned in displeasure as Xue He walked in from outside, his face showing traces of panic.

In this society two thousand years ago, given the physical condition of the common people who could barely afford to eat salt, being able to perform ten was already quite an achievement.

However, he was planning to open his restaurant in the next few days. He intended to write a piece of calligraphy for every room, so he invited everyone to come to his restaurant upon its opening, where they could view his work.

Once the tactics were decided, Li Yuanjing ordered Li Yuanping to keep a close watch on the Turkic army's movements and report to him at any time.

"I’m sorry, I didn't mean to! Are you okay?" Even though it was Naruto who had been knocked to the ground, his first words upon getting up were to express concern for the burly man before him. No matter how you looked at it, the scene was somewhat comical.

Thus, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhongcang arrived at the branch manager's office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Shenzhen.

"Ye Kong, I will remember you," Ling Wuxie said with a sudden smile. He raised his hand, and a beam of light shot into the center of Yin Ruohan’s brow. Following this, Yin Ruohan vanished from before Ye Kong’s eyes, along with him.

The terrifying sword light had only demolished a corner of the Eternal Divine Palace, leaving a hole about a meter wide in its structure.

While puzzled as to why Gong Yuehen did not strike, Tang Yi also began to consider whether he should continue the attack.

Due to his gaming tournaments, Ning Yu already possessed great popularity. Now, after this great battle and the Umbrella Organization’s release of partial footage, his popularity among the public had soared even higher.

According to him, the effect of showing off his muscles was quite good, and there was a high chance of hitting a home run on this date.

Li Changlin never expected that the death of his elder brother, Li Changning, would actually be linked to the Yagyu family of the island nation.

"Why would I go? You know as well as I do that the most handsome one always appears last," Li Quan said as if it were a matter of course.

"Our Lord means that you should take this money first, Boss Gadom, and go back to buy some supplies quickly, so as not to suffer too many casualties from a rushed operation tonight," Shrek interjected with a fawning smile.

He continued to attend his classes and return to his dormitory as usual, or accompany Su Ke’er shopping and buy her a gift.

Because an aircraft carrier, like a nuclear weapon, is a tool of deterrence—it might never be used in a lifetime, and even if it were, it might not yield significant results—it is something one must possess. Only then will other countries respect you, recognize the strength of your naval combat capabilities, and view you as a major maritime power.

"I know that is the rule you set. However, if such a person truly becomes an official in the future, the harm would be immense; it cannot be ignored!" Fan Zhongyan said.

Inside the Northwestern Field Army headquarters in the city of Waidong Komsomol, a combat meeting was underway. Liu Mingzhao’s Sichuan accent kicked off the prelude to the decisive battle of the Northwest. After introducing his side’s troop strength, he walked to a large map in the war room, picked up a baton, pointed at the map, and continued.

The Chief Steward’s eyes suddenly dimmed, turning cold and chilling to the bone. He spoke slowly, "Looking at history, many emperors who suffered throughout their lives and met a dismal end share a common trait: they sat upon the throne without regard for the dignity of an emperor."
