24. Three Feet of Ice

Upon hearing these words, Chen Ming could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground. Chen Ming was never a courageous man to begin with; he had only become the director of the suburban police station through nepotism. Having been scolded so severely by the deputy county magistrate, who was currently at the zenith of his power in the county, he naturally found it impossible to remain on his feet.

10th Floor [Jade-Faced Shrimp]: Pfft, floor 9, could you please stop scaring people with your disheveled hair?

"Xiaojia, I love you!" Qin Yang whispered softly, gently nibbling on Chu Xiaojia's earlobe.

It was precisely because of this mindset—and the realization that it was impossible to finish off Wu Jie—that the three-headed hellhound’s resolve to hunt down Li Shishi and the ice dragon Wangcai went without saying.

Since the renovation of the township health center and the establishment of its regulations had always been handled by Qin Yang and Yu Youcai, Qin Yang took on the responsibility of explaining. Together with Yu Youcai, he led the group, guiding them and providing commentary during the inspection.

Inside the headquarters of the Hongqing Pavilion, within the spacious and somewhat secluded bamboo hall, several bamboo tables and chairs were neatly arranged to the left of the entrance.

Huang Baofa’s question left Chen Yu with no grounds for rebuttal, so he remained silent, continuing to listen to Huang Baofa’s sage advice.

"Heh, burning your soul—you’ve got guts," Zhou Dao laughed. A burst of fist force erupted like a volcanic eruption, shattering the two soul blades entirely before slamming heavily into Zhao Xiong.

"The Magic-Martial Tournament is tomorrow. Do you have confidence in taking first place?" Li Lin asked, her breathing somewhat steadied. Her eyes drifted intentionally or otherwise toward Xiao Yu and Hei Bi as she spoke.

However, money is money, and though he was wealthy, his personal wealth was his own, while the state’s resources belonged to the public. There was no need for him to set such a precedent; therefore, the funding and provisions would still come from the revenue of the New District.

The soldiers of the Capital Battalion who launched an unauthorized attack suffered 1,300 casualties. One commander of the Tongzhou three-province relief army was killed, and the rest were scattered.

She was slightly awkward because she wasn't good at pleading, but she forced herself to do it anyway. Seeing her ashamed expression, I did indeed feel my heart soften. And, though I tried desperately to deny it, a devilish sense of pleasure welled up within me.

Geniuses lead the world. If our world were truly like the ideal, led by the most outstanding individuals among humanity, and if those leaders could work selflessly for the progress and development of all mankind, it would truly be quite wonderful.

Ding San cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He couldn't bear to watch anymore. Under normal circumstances, Old Blind Zuo’s dagger should have pierced into Xia Chen’s brow by now, blood should have splattered, and Xia Chen should have been killed in an instant.

Afterward, Qin Feng hurried back to the command post. For safety reasons, the independent detachment’s temporary command post had been moved underground. It was originally a cellar, but after the detachment moved in, they expanded and reinforced it, turning it into their temporary headquarters.

It wasn't just the young men from Liu Village; even several members of the SWAT team were cheering loudly without reservation.

A thousand soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner spurred their horses forward, blocking the rear of the formation. They raised their blades against those slaves who had begun to hesitate. Amidst a flash of steel and blood, the slaves regained their courage, shouting as they continued to charge toward the Ming army’s formation.

Leading the way was Zhao Wanyu’s military SUV—a very imposing vehicle; just looking at the license plate was enough to ensure no one dared to provoke them wherever they went. Following that was Li Ziyu’s brand-new four-door sports car, a gift from Old Master Li upon their return to Qingshan Village. Since he had already gifted her a large manor, a sports car was of little consequence.

But now, she suddenly felt that her previous line of thinking was wrong. It wasn't that Song Xiaodong lacked the ability to manage the Su family; he simply trusted her. If she continued to harbor thoughts of manipulating Song Xiaodong, she would eventually run into trouble herself.

That affair from years ago could be called the stain of his life as an emperor. He refused to recall it and intentionally ignored it, but now that it was brought up, a trace of guilt welled up in his heart.

"What kind of medical treatment is this? This is sheer madness! Pull her away quickly; if this continues, she’ll be tortured to death," Doctor An said anxiously.

Cheng Yi sat for a while before feeling a sudden thirst. It wasn't the kind of thirst that required water, but a craving for a cigarette.

Gu Yu looked up, revealing a somewhat withered and aged face. In truth, he had only just entered middle age, but his long-term, high-intensity alchemy had left him with the appearance of an old man.

Jiu You: "Huh?" Then, she noticed the death glare that Wu Mu immediately shot her because of that remark.

Unable to sleep, he got up and, for some reason, found himself drawn to the door of Mu Anqing’s room.

"I came with Old Master Mu. My name is Jiang. I am here on behalf of the Mu family head, Mu Lingye, to attend Young Master Lu’s engagement banquet," Jiang Xinya said, fearing others wouldn't know her connection to the Mu family.

Qi Hansheng pulled her back into his arms, restraining her tightly. He pinched the tip of her nose as punishment, releasing her only after seeing her face turn completely red.

Lin Muxin recalled hearing people in class say that Cheng Anzhi had found a wealthy man, the kind that couldn't be brought into the light.

He wore black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and black trousers. He was neat and clean, the kind of boy parents liked best.

She had intended to spend the night properly with Yan Loufang today so that she could conceive another child; that way, she wouldn't have to worry about that ruined son anymore.

Thus, the rumor that the Bodhisattva had entrusted Bao Zhuang and Xue Baobao to deliver a basket of "immortal oranges" to the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager was finally settled.

Lin Yifeng wore a bright smile, but a flash of gloom crossed his eyes when he saw Bai Lu.

Huayu Media was a partner of Xinghai Group; the group’s publicity and some of its public relations work were all undertaken by Huayu Media.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhen waited anxiously, having long since sent people to wait outside the main gate, telling them to invite Yu Xin in for a talk the moment he returned.

While chatting, he checked his phone. It had vibrated just a moment ago, and upon looking at it, he realized a new event had triggered in the game.

Tian Yue sat within the Incomplete World, protecting the spirit beast bag, sensing her surroundings. A beam of spiritual light swept across the outside, but it could not enter the Incomplete World.

Thus, as the fans became convinced that their idol was worth liking, they, too, began to line up in long queues.

The captain of the law enforcement team immediately slapped three major charges on Luo Yao, each of which was a capital offense at the Xuanyuan Sect, punishable by the extraction of the soul and the refining of the spirit, ensuring one would never be reincarnated for eternity.
