Temporary Leave Notice (Posted on behalf of the author)

Jun Xijue had privately stopped her several times, some even within the palace walls, so it was impossible for the emperor to be unaware. "No matter how much the emperor believes what we say, he would never allow the Xue family to side with the Second Prince. That’s why he insists we marry sooner rather than later," Qian Ge explained.

Qian Ge smiled at Fu Nanfeng; not everyone understood the greater good—some only lived by the creed that if one doesn’t look out for oneself, one is doomed, indifferent to the lives of others.

She had composed this piece herself, yet how could she bring herself to tell him its title was KISS?

Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Jinshu’s face suddenly showed terror—he had clearly recognized the visitor.

Fortunately, after drinking more than half the bottle of baijiu on the coffee table before the sofa, Park Tianxiu was certain that Baek Ji-young was not possessed by any deity. Baek Ji-young smiled and tossed over a package; opening it, Park found a pack of Davidoff cigarettes along with a box of cigars of the same brand.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. It was but a small favor," Qian Ge smiled. The insane Zhao from the cold palace had borne a dutiful son.

"Are you two planning to repeat the same mistakes?" Dao noticed the heads of their two families.

Having entrusted all work matters to Li Shu, I cradled Douzi and set off for home. The driver was none other than Gao Zijian.

Yet Chu Feng was unaware that his rise to a master of the Divine Path had already stirred a colossal wave of attention throughout Penglai.

"Senior, you flatter me! I am but dull-witted; if I have been discourteous, please forgive me!" Xiao Tian bowed in response.

Aura eyed the boy skeptically but, seeing his confidence, suppressed the urge to rush forward and help.

"My proposal has already been stated by your new village chief. I do not wish to dwell on the hardships and dangers of living here; I only want to say two things." She scanned the dwarves attentively listening, a surge of confidence swelling within her.

Xu Miao was indeed grateful. Although goji berries were not expensive, it was impossible for their family to casually buy some for infusion. Thus, the siblings all deeply appreciated the kindness shown to them, reciprocating with offerings of tofu or dried tofu for a fresh taste.

Previously, Li An had regarded this trick as useless, yet today it proved unexpectedly useful.

Clad in armor, Ling Tu reacted with exaggerated agility to every strike from Paga. After blocking all attacks, he stretched out his right hand, summoning over a hundred blades through the skylight, hurling them toward Paga.

But now, in this new era, pure black enterprises were increasingly untenable. Lei Wanjun began to wash his hands of the past and shifted focus to the righteous path.

Gao Chuan dribbled forward while muttering, "I’m so sick of this dull scene! Bring on some excitement!"

Yet sometimes, the more you try to perform, the worse you do! After that goal, Faro repeatedly made defensive errors, sending dangerous passes from his area.

"A towering tree grows from a tiny seedling." Marcelo had never heard this phrase but deeply felt its truth.

He told himself this and released his spiritual energy, continuing his search.

When his gaze landed again on the crimson stain on the ground, Bai Dingshan flew into a rage, snatching up a knife and swinging it at the black-clad men attacking Miss Zhou, shielding her behind him.

Bearing such heavy responsibilities, anyone else might have collapsed. Now, hearing Cheng Yixin’s words, it seemed a long journey was just beginning.

Seeing the crowd’s somber mood, Lin Xifan thought it was time to act. No matter what, as an aspiring leader, he needed enough strength to command respect from his subordinates.

"Good! Coming right up! I’ll come to your house!" Commissioner Cao was understanding, agreeing without hesitation.

Old Lord Zhenrong slapped his thigh. "Well, well, I told you—this fire fox recognizes people, only recognizing our old Rong family. Twenty years ago, I caught one on this mountain; since then, I hadn’t seen a single one. But when my son came, he caught one right away." He laughed heartily.

With that, their old Rong family was content, except the daughter-in-law was pregnant again, their happiness overflowing.

Thus, attending the charity ball was unnecessary, especially since encountering members of the Zhang family there risked exposure. Since staying there was meaningless, it was better to leave.

Shui Yunfei and Zhong Tianyou turned their heads simultaneously, exchanging a glance before nodding calmly.

Qingqing didn’t know if Shi Shaoqin was still with Gu Beichen; without a call, she only sent a message.

When Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng heard the fat man surnamed Zheng say that Master Huangmei had obsessive cleanliness, a strange expression appeared on his face.

First, they had just received 15 million from Zhao Yi, which, according to the original plan, should have been handed over to Xiao Han.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation requires mastering the essentials and having sufficient endurance and rhythm.

After inquiring about the exact location of the Sales Department and expressing thanks, she ascended the stairs.

The construction of the Wei King’s Palace also used red bricks and cement, but the overall architectural style remained unchanged.

Despised by Lin Chuan, the King of Dongchuan gradually recovered after a night’s rest.

She raised the multicolored flux lamp forward, and a radiant spectrum of light poured forth.

Han Yun tried to sever the practice chains with his sword but failed; the broken chains immediately reconnected.

The once arrogant Mo Family patriarch was now forced to this point before a young man.

However, spitting infant fire consumed vast amounts of primal power; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at great completion could not sustain long-term infant fire alchemy.

Yet these cultivators, having reached the Golden Core stage, were no mere layabouts. Each possessed unique skills. Their disdain stemmed from knowing the vast gulf between the False Core and Golden Core stages—a chasm not easily crossed.

Wenren Xue, Wenren Guangren, Wenren Miao, Niu Sheng, Gou Dongfei, Wu Binghuo—all but the deceased Qiu Tian, the strongest among the six Blood Banner warriors, gathered in Zhou Yang’s quarters.

Originally, he intended to provoke a deadly feud between the two families. For instance, he sent Duanmu Jiuzhi and others to the Fierce Tiger Society, feigning weakness to lure the Tianmen into a debilitating battle with the Dongxing Society. Yet, these two families were too obedient—they fought to the death outright.
