Volume 1, Chapter 150: Door Gods
With that, the old lady pulled a dagger out of her walking stick and plunged it directly into her own heart.
Yet, how had she managed to leave her husband's household? Wasn't it rumored that she was treated little better than a common servant at home, completely unloved by her husband?
In truth, it was not that they lacked the desire to avenge their elder brother, Zhao Gongming; rather, revenge could not simply be sought on a whim, and some matters were truly beyond anyone's control.
"Lin Qing, I'm so sleepy. Just let me sleep for a while~" Wei Xuan pleaded.
Realizing that they were not going to come to blows, Song Ning finally felt relieved, leaving them with nothing more to say.
Whether that final sentence was meant as an explanation to the person beside her or an attempt to convince herself remained unclear.
A hint of a smile touched Yin Fa's lips. He understood the old steward's intentions entirely, yet instead of refusing, he readily accepted.
Thus, she had gone through with it after all—she had committed the evil act of taking a life, and that deed remained an unresolved knot in her heart.
Watching his son bustling about behind his daughter-in-law, and hearing his mother mention that the daughter-in-law was literate, Old Man Dou felt a deep sense of contentment. His grandson had a bright future ahead; having a mother who could read was a far greater blessing than having Dou Zha for a son.
However, this was a time of peace. In times of peace, the emergence of corps-level forces was impossible—that was common knowledge. Consequently, Theo did not offer excessive warnings, and Diderot gave it little thought. Both were brimming with confidence, firmly convinced that there were no hostilities on the Western Front.
With a loud bang, and to Jonathan's utter astonishment, the ferocious-looking monster was reduced to flying shreds of meat by a single punch.
By this time, it was already too late for the spatial ability fighters to cut off the transmission of the sound waves.
At this moment, every trace of his wild rage, his sighs, his entanglements, his melancholy, his profundity, his tenderness, his obsession, all appeared entirely genuine.
The six-fold giant strength of the Dragon and Elephant could finally be fully unleashed. The hidden danger of genetic collapse was thoroughly eradicated. Jonathan felt utterly refreshed, enveloped by the liberating sensation that the sky was high enough for birds to fly and the sea was wide enough for fish to leap.
The sound of galloping hooves rang exceptionally loud in the silent night. At that moment, the Goguryeo cavalry was barely a hundred meters away from the enemy camp; even if the enemy were to react now, it was already too late. They would be crushed beneath the hooves of the Goguryeo horses.
A sense of impending foreboding struck, combined with the temporary concealment and elimination of ideological hidden dangers within the alliance, causing the will of the alliance to unite as one.
As for the third question, it went without saying—this was the crown jewel of world mathematics: the Goldbach Conjecture, abbreviated as 1+1. It remained a colossal, unsolved super-problem to this day.
Perhaps none of them alone could compare to Ning Daoqi, but with the ten of them combined, even the Four Great Monks would have to take a detour, let alone Ning Daoqi by himself.
By this time, the doctors and nurses had finished their inventory, removing the last scraps of clothing from their bodies. It was difficult to assess injuries while wearing hoods, especially since many of the wounds were on the head.
A sense of solid ground came from beneath their feet; they had finally reached the bottom. The depth was nearly fourteen hundred meters. Darkness surrounded them, accompanied by a distinct, chilling sensation. Underground regions naturally possessed dense terrestrial energy, having been hidden from the sun for thousands of years, so such gloom and cold were entirely normal.
"Water Confinement!" Watching Mo Feibai's wind barrier gradually dissipate, Lan Ruoruo's water prison seamlessly took over control. The monitor lizard, trapped repeatedly, let out an angry howl, yet failed entirely to break free.
Gong Shiqin lowered his head to open it, his mouth twitching. Uh... since when did he become a candidate for a political marriage?! Weren't those sent away for political marriages in history always considered the most unfortunate wretches?
Staring fixedly at Leng Litian, she pointed a trembling finger at Ruosheng, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Upon entering the plaza, the view suddenly broadened. A huge circular grandstand surrounded the entire area, already packed with countless cultivators in various attire. Not all of them were Taoists from Qingyang Mountain; many belonged to other sects that had come to the Qingyang Daoist Assembly's grand selection to pick up whatever scraps Qingyang left behind in order to elevate their own reputations.
His smile rivaled the brilliant sunshine, making all other things in his presence appear dull and devoid of color.
Yue Longtian told Mei Li that he had already finalized his contract with Huayi Brothers, and Huayi had explicitly instructed him not to accept interviews from any media outlets without authorization after his match with Hirano Gangtian.
"Who goes there?!" The moment he caught the fainting Gong Shiqin, Feng Xuan sensed unusual movement, immediately tossed him to his eldest son, and turned to protect the Emperor present.
Third: The foundation-building physical body and cultivation began to merge, marking a stage of enhanced capabilities. The lotus seed grew, developed, and blossomed, with the lotus flower clearly taking root and growing within the elixir field.
A group of Void-Training stage experts bowed in acknowledgment. These people now looked to Ye Xiaoyao for leadership; after all, his seniority was undeniable. Although each of them harbored certain grievances against one another, this was hardly the time to quibble over such matters, as the disciples of their respective sects were far more important.
"What an adorable little bell pendant! Even I love it to pieces!" Lu Lu exclaimed in admiration.
Liu Tuo radiated a sharp murderous intent, thinning the aura around the envoy to a wisp and forcing the man to drop hurriedly to his knees in an extremely wretched state.
