Chapter 51: Love from the Maternal Uncle
In Wang Peng's living house, Wang Peng was sorting out the housewarming gifts he had received. Chen Xiaojing gave him a Hero brand fountain pen, and Du Lei gave him two bottles of Hero brand ink. Li Mengjiao brought a folder and a thick diary, both featuring the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, on their covers. Chen Qingshu gave two new books: a high school mathematics olympiad yearbook and a collection of problem analyses from the Hua Luogeng Mathematics School.
"Good grief, you always give books. You really live up to your name," Wang Peng muttered good-naturedly.
Just then, his second uncle arrived with an oxcart carrying three hundred catties of rice. The previously purchased rice, which cost 0.3 yuan per catty, had run out, and the unit price for this batch of three hundred catties was 1.7 yuan. The grandfather and grandson carried the sacks of rice into the main hall.
Li...
"Are you Lingyun?" Lin Feng looked at the man holding a long spear and claiming to be Lingyun, a flash of vigilance crossing his eyes.
Immortality Floating Light lay sideways on the bed, looking as gravely ill and bedridden as if she were suffering from some severe affliction—perhaps because she had been rather heavily injured last time. Yun染 chose that exact moment to seek her out for a conversation, prompting Floating Light to rise and dress.
Speaking of gratitude, it seemed she truly ought to thank this foolish girl. Had it not been for her, she would have been captured by that Floating Light yesterday, and the consequences would have been catastrophic—she surely would have met her end at her hands.
In a single stroke, she had brought millions in transaction volume to the July Tower; such a lavish patron was truly a rare find, nearly impossible to encounter by design.
Didn't Guan Wei prefer women without hidden agendas? Well, look at it now: Luo Bi watched Liang Yan not only display a complete lack of cunning, but also act like an innocent, sweet simpleton. Of course, since they had only just met, it was hard to say whether Liang Yan was truly such an innocent fool.
In the realm of demons and monsters, he was the son of the God of War, afflicted with aphrodisiac poison and plagued by countless misguided thoughts and inner demons—all of which boiled down to having fallen in love with you. When you rejected him back then, he vanished from these six realms forever.
"To think there was a Spirit Martial realm powerhouse standing behind Lin Feng!" Hearing the disciple recount the entire sequence of events, Qing Yun wore a look of utter disbelief.
"How could the care of siblings compare to the intimacy of someone sharing your bed?" Song Chun spoke to Madam Zhang with zero reservations.
Hua Xiangrong lay upon the bed, the corners of her eyes gracefully slanting upward, half-closed and half-open, looking utterly fresh and refined. Yao Chu had changed her into a plain white long dress, making her appear exceptionally ethereal and untainted by worldly dust.
Liu Ziqi shook his head. When he went to pay his respects to his grandmother, she had once asked him what kind of food Yu Jiao liked to eat. Knowing that the girl had a weakness for sweets, Liu Ziqi had mentioned it to her, so these pastries must have been specially ordered by his grandmother for the household staff to prepare for Yu Jiao.
In 1932, H.H. Kung visited Europe. During his stay, the two sides agreed that the Italian side would sell warplanes to the Chinese side, assist China in building an air force, and even establish an aircraft manufacturing plant in China.
Island Master You Litian's emergence from seclusion, the success of the altar, and his discovery that the Dark Immortal-Catching Team sent outside the borders of Liming Island had gone missing—along with his report regarding You Luosha—naturally could not escape the monitoring of the Taiyi Myriad Star River Array, and were transmitted one by one to Number One, with Haoran also being informed at the very first moment.
"Indeed, they have truly broken through to the first tier of the Immortal King realm, and there are three of them," the leader of the Black Spirit clan murmured softly.
Having decided to participate in the freshman welcome party, registration was naturally required. Lin Feng went precisely for that purpose. Just after finishing his meal in the cafeteria earlier, he had pulled out his phone to check the details regarding the party's registration. The staff wouldn't leave work until seven in the evening, so going now was not too late.
Thinking the call was from Su Youyu and Shangguan Zixia, Chu Tianshu grabbed the receiver and pressed it against his ear.
"Form the array and kill!" Liu Chi shouted as well, his figure darting backward into the army of one hundred thousand. The one hundred thousand troops instantly unleashed their individual Dark Devouring Domains, merging them into a massive array that resembled an open demonic maw, biting fiercely toward the opposing army of fifty thousand.
"What if we strike straight through the Iceland-Faeroe Channel? Who will we run into?" Captain Günther spread his hands toward those around him at the dining table.
Time suddenly seemed to come to a standstill, yet the "tick-tock" of the clock continued to ring ceaselessly in our ears. Michu remained silent throughout, and this demeanor plunged me into a state of anxious uncertainty, though I did not urge her, patiently waiting for her to sort through this matter she inevitably had to face.
"You managed to remember the timing just from watching that match once? Even I, the one who played it, can't remember clearly." Zhang Peng and Guo Xide instantly concluded why the sky was so dark: it was because Books was blowing hot air on the ground.
Hao Yan had been exceptionally busy over the past two days; almost the moment she arrived at the station, she had no spare time, constantly either running around outside for news stories or organizing news manuscripts in the office.
If Liuxing didn't speak up, there was no telling whether Tohka's powers would even return, which would spell trouble.
Qin Tianchen finally experienced the sensation of heaven, feeling the thunder absorbed within the Heaven and Earth Dragon Cauldron growing increasingly dense, a smile blooming across his face.
"Sigh, this old man had told Zheng Tu before to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue in ordinary times, and commit fewer heinous acts. Look everyone, retribution has come, hasn't it?" The old coroner took a puff from his cigarette and then said to everyone with a look of "heartbroken grief."
This was a leaflet dropped by the Americans. On that day, the Americans scattered nearly sixty million leaflets over the Hiroshima region of Japan.
This place was rich in black meteorite and spirit stones, perhaps an inexhaustible supply. If others were to find out, the Seabound Prefecture would surely descend into chaos.
The Nine-Headed Flood Dragon also knew of the Worlds-Above-Worlds, knowing that those within them were formidable existences bound to the Higher Realm. As early as the era of the Azure Dragon, the Worlds-Above-Worlds had already existed, and the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon had even interacted with people from there, well aware of how terrifying their strength was.
In this battle, the casualties on both sides were roughly equal: one Japanese fighter plane was shot down and another was injured, while the Flying Tigers suffered one dead and one injured. However, the fatality on the Flying Tigers' side was none other than a colonel flight squadron leader!
Zhuang Qingze had called ahead of time to report that he was safe, and when they stepped through the front door, the meals in the kitchen were already nearly prepared.
And all of this was thanks to Li Sanshan. No wonder Wu Rong had completely gone berserk the moment he recognized him, chasing and hacking at Li Sanshan like a rabid dog.
In the past, others did not know the identity of this restaurant's owner, but after the Yu family annihilated the Chi family, the owner grandly and publicly revealed his true status.
This fellow was truly an absolute jerk, acting completely unreserved right in front of her, and judging by his smug expression, showing not an ounce of remorse for his mistakes. Shang Mengqi wished she could tear Qiu Shaoshze to shreds on the spot; she didn't know whether to call having such a husband a stroke of luck or sheer misfortune.
Just as Ye Yuan was prepared to risk the possibility of Golza being severely injured in order to materialize it, a massive figure lunged forward, blocking the beam of light.
Zhong Qing was startled once again. Crown Princess? Was this some kind of sick joke? She felt so awkward she was beside herself, quickly letting out two silly, forced laughs to mask her embarrassment.
A chilling, bone-chilling smile hung on Qin Tianchen's lips as the muscles in his arms rippled and bulged like coiling pythons.
The geniuses present, upon feeling this extraordinarily formidable power, were all left dumbstruck and tongue-tied.
Fortunately, Hayato's piloting skills were top-notch, and the airborne Machdi also managed to evade the fireball's assault with agile maneuvers.
Watching her foolish expression—though he had been driven to utter exasperation by her antics—Chu Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle softly, reaching out to pull the gauze dress draped over the screen and throwing it over her shoulders. Zhong Qing suddenly felt a rush of wind by her ear as she was swept up into the air by the handsome man, tracing a graceful arc through space.
