Volume 1, Chapter 153: Are the Two of Them Kissing?!

No sooner had the words left her lips than Xiao Junhe abruptly bent down.

A massive shadow instantly fell over her, and his handsome face was inches away.

She could catch a faint, pleasant fragrance radiating from him.

Yet, the sudden intimacy made her feel ill at ease.

Her heartbeat skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

"Don't move."

Xiao Junhe leaned close to her ear, his cello-like, magnetic voice sounding slowly with a hint of bewitching allure.

"That woman from the Wei family has followed us up; she's right at the stairway landing. I told her beforehand that you are my girlfriend, so if we sleep in separate rooms now, she will definitely grow suspicious. My dearest A'jiu, be a good person to the very end and take me in..."

Yet she knew deep down that this man did not love her. Just as at this moment, she felt that if she were to utter a single "yes," this man could immediately and ruthlessly cast her aside.

The capacity of Mainz's new stadium was around thirty-five thousand, which could not compare to Borussia Mönchengladbach. After all, the two teams belonged to different cities, and Mainz simply had a smaller population.

The laughter gradually subsided. Tamech raised his hand, and the black light emanating from the black gemstone on his index finger grew increasingly intense.

Although it was unlikely anyone would "register" ahead of him, some people could not help spreading the news already.

Shen Meng, who was by her side, kept chattering away in an attempt to indoctrinate her, leaving her head buzzing and filled with utter annoyance.

The next moment, however, Li Zheng's footsteps shifted because that man had put down the wine bottle, picked up a bag from the sofa, unzipped it, and lowered his head to rumgle through it.

Coming home to someone preparing a piping hot meal was the ultimate solace for weariness and toil while out. Amidst the impending tension of battle, Ce Qi could instead feel the rarity of this tranquility.

Ming Fu clearly had not expected this either; he knew that Madam and Gu Yancheng were acquainted, as the boss had even previously had him investigate the matter.

Upon hearing this, Jin Dajin was tempted. Having acted lawlessly for so many years, he had truly never received a gift from an immortal.

At this hour—which was not particularly late, just a little past dusk—the sky was still bright, not to mention that there was a breeze.

Uunqi understood everything instantly, because the ancestral spirit Taiyi mentioned by the boat people was none other than the holy spirit that had turned him into a toad. The holy spirit had turned both Uunqi and Aleph into three-legged toads on the very same day; clearly, everything Uunqi had suffered was entirely the holy spirit's mockery and punishment of him.

"I am talking to you, yet you actually dare to let your mind wander! Are you trying to rebel?" Li Yuyun said in a rather unfriendly tone.

Min Jiuer opened her mouth wide in astonishment, having never considered the reasoning that Lu Qingqing had just articulated.

The staff officers of various departments were busy toop and bottom, assisting with registration, distributing armor and equipment, arranging meals, lodging, and tents, while also preparing for the upcoming "military competition." The entire garrison was a scene of bustling activity.

Farooq and Leah stared at Uunqi as if looking at a monster, neither of them answering. Uunqi turned his head, familiarly draped an arm over Farooq's shoulder, and used his left hand to brush off the fine ice crystals lingering on Leah's bangs.

Princess Huasui was pale with fright. Fortunately, thanks to her excellent equipment, her maximum health and defense were also very high, barely reaching 105 health points, preventing her from being killed in a single blow.

Ouyang Zhe knew Jin Zhantian, Lan Xiang, and the others quite well; their strength was not much different from his own prior to his breakthrough. However, this Li Yuyun was a variable who, with the strength of the peak Condensing Cloud Realm, had defeated him when he was at the early Transformation Realm.

Sure enough, Fuhao Chen's very first sentence was fraught with provocation. He was followed by over twenty ill-intentioned young men who, though dressed in elite imperial guard uniforms, were recognized by no one.

The charging demon adventurers were all frightened out of their wits, howling and wailing as they turned tail and fled. Uunqi chuckled, and the eight-sided iron sword in his hand transformed back into a three-foot-long blade. Wielding the sword, Uunqi leisurely hacked open the window of the Adventurers' Guild and leaped out through it.

The Great Prophet laughed triumphantly and once again assumed an expression of profound relief. Only at this stage could his objective be considered achieved.

He Yuhan nodded and swept all the treasures in the cave into her space. She had no intention of using these items; she planned to donate all of them later on.

"Brother Chenfeng, actually, being the owner of a health and wellness shop is nothing to be ashamed of." Lin Wei still wore that smiling expression.

"The moment I died, I was already plunged into the depths of Hell. If I am fated to be a demon, I will surely overturn the Buddha's altar and smash the golden bodies of the various Buddhas!" Ghost General Yan Qing had red light flashing in his eyes, his baleful aura growing increasingly heavy.

The territory of the State of Zhao was roughly divided into three major regions: the three border commanderies of Yanmen, Dai, and Yunzhong in the north; Taiyuan Commandery in the west, which was the birthplace of the Zhao clan; and the native lands of Handan, Zhongshan, and Hejian.

In fact, when the young man approached Liu Buyi, the fairy sister had already perceived the flow of ancient jade spiritual energy within Liu Buyi. It was also due to the fairy sister's covert intervention—in this world, only she could effortlessly manipulate the ancient jade without a sound.

This was precisely the danger of the wilderness where there were no outposts or supplies. Magical beasts would not wait for you to recover before fighting you; generally, adventurers died from an accumulation of minor injuries rather than a single fatal blow, because adventurers knew how to avoid danger when they encountered it.

An observant person could easily notice that on the two beds, one was thicker at the shoulder and neck area, while the new bed was thicker at the waist area.

"How is that wrong? Saying it like that, is it really such a great insult to them?" Anna feigned ignorance.

Querying the system in confusion, Chenfeng recalled the powerful current operating when a cardiac pacemaker ran.

Mingyue stood below the platform, sweeping his gaze across the people gathered around the purple tent. Seeing their whispered conversations, he knew that if he could not deflate the arrogance of Kuang Liang and the others today, it might bring shame upon the country, making his future days in Linzi even harder.

She needed to understand whether establishing herself here would be like Fengcheng, where the majority of shops were owned by the Ran family. If so, her livelihood would likely invite trouble.

Dai Xiyan's family feared that other unexpected situations might occur, and wishing to transfer hospitals as soon as Dai's mother stabilized a bit further, they began contacting hospitals that very afternoon to handle the relevant transfer procedures.

Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Hong Lie had a sudden flash of insight, vaguely feeling that Wang Tian雷 might indeed be the culprit.

With a slap, Zhao Tianxiang produced a contract—a gambling contract, the figures written upon which caused everyone to gasp in awe.

Gu Lian was already troubled enough, yet Xing Wei kept spewing bad advice incessantly. Overwhelmed with irritation and devoid of attention, she slipped up and blurted out Chenxing's name loudly, alerting the Chenxing standing nearby.
