Chapter 572
After watching Xiao Wei being taken away, Xu Haifeng's lips curled into a smug smile. Having spent many years in Tianmen, he had earned his share of hard work, and now he possessed power, status, and wealth.
He understood that the person who could frame him must have set their sights on Feng Yunxiu's reputation and the prestige he had built. They would use his title to accuse Mo Wuhen, which would undoubtedly stir up a frenzy.
In the meantime, an elderly man with graying hair, nearing his sixties, slowly approached Ye Jinghong.
At that moment, the entire Asgard star was shrouded in ominous clouds, and if war broke out, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Song Yu pushed open the office door and stepped out. He walked into the large office where his colleagues were working. It was already past nine, and as soon as he entered, everyone looked up at him.
I recounted everything I had discussed with Qiao Wenxuan, as well as the final outcome from IH Company, to Qiu Yue in detail.
I locked the office door behind me, then drew the curtains shut before sitting down on the sofa opposite her. As I poured us each a glass of water, I spoke softly.
However, when it came to other side businesses, Zhenwu Mountain was always less effective than the Hu family. It was better to just hand it over, splitting it sixty-forty, and then I pressed my handprint on the agreement.
Sorry, she’s not three years old anymore; she won’t fall for that. Candy from strangers is definitely a no-go.
Perhaps, after I return from my business trip, our relationship will take a new step forward! From our first meeting to getting to know each other, and now wanting to understand each other, it has already been over half a year. Maybe... the future holds love for us.
But if President Jin had really taken him to some vice president position for practical training back then, he would probably have backed down in an instant; after all, pretending can only go so far.
Yet his attacks were ferocious, sacrificing speed in the process. Xu Mo's mech descended in an instant, and the energy blade in his hand slashed out, producing a sharp, piercing sound as it cleaved through the mech's head.
Guangyuan Zhenren hesitated for a moment, the words on the tip of his tongue chewed over repeatedly, unsure of how to express them.
Bai Ziyu was a head taller than her, and when they collided, Qing Jiu's head bumped against Bai Ziyu's chest.

**Chapter 659: Sister Approved**
After finishing the last few plates of leftovers, Li Mo headed to the kitchen, where Gu Xueqin and Li Dalong were washing dishes, chatting about everyday life.
"Hubby, did we eat too much meat today?"
"Yeah, the ingredients our son prepared were too nourishing."
Li Dalong seriously wiped away a trickle of nosebleed.
Li Mo casually said, "Then let’s eat lighter vegetables for the next few days. What should we have? I’ll talk to Elder Qian about it later."
"Baby bok choy."
Gu Xueqin replied without hesitation, emphasizing the words "baby" with a bit of bite.
"Kaili, what do you think Liao Birong needs the most right now?" Oumeimei took another sip of red wine.
Originally, he wanted to shamelessly ask Hualing for a spark from the "One Lantern" (a metaphor for inspiration), as that spark would greatly enhance his barbecue.
Three years ago, in a moment of impulsiveness, he decided to quit his job and focus on writing, and now he was paying the price. The meager monthly royalties barely allowed him to scrape by.
However, there’s a problem with raising children across generations; if the child develops issues, there’s no way to explain it to the parents, which is why grandparents are particularly worried about them.
After finishing her bath in the hot tub, Su Yun, holding a glass of crimson wine and dressed in luxurious pajamas, comfortably lounged on the hotel balcony's sandalwood chair, gazing at the dark horizon, waiting for the moment dawn would break.
With a heart full of questions, Su Yun approached Xuanji Mo to inquire about the origins of the Mo family's mysterious patterns.
Do they really have a future together? Nan An Gui's heart trembled with pain, yet she still tried to act indifferent.
"Nan An Gui, what are you planning to do? Can I help you?" Su Yu couldn't bear to see her sister hurt.
"You promised... to help me get dressed!" Lin Yuhan blushed, instinctively covering parts of herself that were exposed, but the man held her hands down.
With horns on its head and hair like tentacles with eyes, two large, sharp-toothed mouths split its face into three parts, sending chills down one’s spine.
The lion-headed man lowered his head, fully aware of the punishment from the Beast King. He had lived too comfortably relying on his status, and although he had since improved his strength, his character had not changed much.
Inside the tent, the princes were merely discussing the recent horse hunting event. Su Yirong sat quietly for a while before quietly pulling Ye Yuzhen away from the camp. As for Ye Ruofeng, after watching the horse hunting, he left the horse grounds with Prince Yi.
When Song Duanwu left, he naturally took with him the two valuable gifts. Since the old debtor didn’t want them, he didn’t push the issue, and these two items would certainly still be useful to him.
Because it was the countryside, most houses were spread out over fields, and the place Ye Chengzhi chose was particularly remote. It was a miracle for anyone other than Ye Chengzhi to come here, so Xia Haitong, without a second thought, shouted for help.
She laughed as she slipped in, leaving a large portion behind, not caring, and got out of bed, where he had already turned on the light.
Chuyang primarily produced military equipment like trucks and armored vehicles, so the Jin'an Armory had effectively become the largest military enterprise of the Jiutian Group. This risky practice of putting all eggs in one basket ultimately received the best response one afternoon.
To hear a Sword Sect master admit defeat was a first for the coalition; everyone felt a swell of pride upon hearing the Sword Sect master's words.
Xiao Yan was surprised to realize when Shiqiu had planted a mark on him. No wonder he had suddenly appeared before him; he lamented the gap in their strengths and the helplessness it brought.
Ruo Yu had seen foxes at the so-called zoo before, but she had never seen one as beautiful as this.
His face was pale, breath shallow, and beside the pool, a machine with numerous snake-like mechanical arms held him firmly underwater, rendering him completely immobile.

**Chapter 660: A Familiar Date**
The sound of cicadas in midsummer was loud and raucous, but as the night breeze blew, it faded into the tranquil atmosphere of the Qushui Pavilion.
Even the cicadas were overwhelmed by the heat, and it was only natural for popsicles to melt.
Ying Bing's icy beauty had now softened; if she didn’t lean back, she would completely collapse into someone’s arms. The hairpin and step-shake she had just put on were in disarray, yet she lacked the strength to hide away.
The sound of cicadas was no longer audible in her ears.
Who would have thought that the initially naive girl, who only wanted to smell the ice, would end up unable to hear anything at all? Her ears felt warm; was this what it felt like to have one’s hearing devoured?
"How are you talking like that?" Yin Hao, who had been watching the commotion from the side, could no longer stand by. The scalpel in his hand danced up and down, suggesting he was ready to throw down at any moment.
Looking up, she was startled to see her own body drenched in sweat, as if she had just engaged in some intense exercise.
"I think it’s quite fitting." I was puzzled as to why everyone thought I was a couple with Du Heng, while only my dad said something so out of the ordinary. Didn’t he want me to be happy?
Jiang Ruan felt even more embarrassed by Shentu Haolong's words. Fortunately, he didn’t keep him for long and directly sent him to rest, reminding him to leave the Taimu Hotel tomorrow and head to Huaying Hotel to meet Wan Lei and the others. They had stayed here long enough and should check in on those rascals.
At that moment, the sky, which had long been covered in endless darkness, suddenly shone with beams of scorching sunlight, illuminating the endless shadows of demons below.
The bow was drawn, and an arrow flew far and wide, landing right in front of a child—none other than the young Ulanaga.
"Haha, haha! It’s great to meet someone as wonderful as you this morning! Truly wonderful! If the old man has nothing else to do, I’ll continue wandering the garden!" Zhan Tiandao exclaimed.
The void hummed, and from the heavens above, a giant scissor, a thousand feet long, suddenly appeared, born from the void itself. Its emergence was so abrupt that all the powerful beings were taken aback.
Of course, one could also directly replace it, but this idea was immediately shot down by Mai Ruisi for a simple reason: it was too convenient.
Fu Jingsi couldn’t define whether her actions were right or wrong; he was just utterly helpless, to the point of exasperation.
Ji Longjun glanced at the iron-helmeted warriors still desperately pursuing him in the stone path. They seemed oblivious to the corpses around them, showing no regard for the loss of life.
Harrison's drone couldn’t capture their images, making it impossible to accurately assess their personnel composition and overall strength.
"I just want to investigate some old matters from back then! That’s all!" Liu Tianxing stated his purpose for coming.
The dinner party ended quietly, while over there, Gu's father had arranged for Gu Zhi Yi to drive the An family home, giving them a chill down their spines.
