Wei Yuan stood on a high platform before a bottomless, colossal pit. Rows upon rows of massive serrated blades lined its walls; the higher up, the wider the opening and the thicker the blades grew, narrowing steadily toward the depths. All the blades ground and rotated with a rumbling roar—anything falling into their midst would be shredded to pieces.
A shadow covered the giant pit, and then a titanic object slowly descended from the sky.
Only when it dropped to a lower altitude could one see that it was astonishingly the tip of a beast's claw. This section, spanning hundreds of—
The human body absorbs nutrients through digestion, and a person's spiritual maturity likewise flourishes by absorbing lessons from every single matter in life. Knowing how to digest and assimilate is a very good thing.
Zhang Xiaojun laughed boisterously, turned his head to look at his prey downstairs tonight, and stuck out his tongue to lick the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lin Xulu did not suspect Lin Fu of playing underhanded tricks either. When the Lin clan had hastily withdrawn from Shanglinli to take refuge in Jiangning, not only had they not declined, but they had risen against the odds; even if one could not credit Lin Fu entirely, the greater part of the credit still belonged to him.
Liu Zhi stood up and waited with hands at his sides next to his father. His build was medium and somewhat lean, not tall and burly like his father, and his features were quite delicate. His brows and eyes resembled his mother, Tao Zhan, while his nose was very much like Liu Jing's, high and straight.
Ren Yiyan glanced at Ren Yijun in surprise. Given Ren Yijun's fiery temper, he had assumed he would quarrel with their father, for he could feel Ren Yijun's burning rage at this moment. He had not expected Ren Yijun to remain quite calm when asking this question.
None of the offices were located on the first floor, and since it was not mealtime, ordinary employees naturally would not take the elevator up from the first floor.
For some reason, there was an illusion of being asked whether to save one's father or one's lover if both fell into the water... A life with only one kind of love is incomplete.
As it turned out, the news was true: the one who became the Fifth Prince's primary consort was neither Wan'ning nor the eldest princess consort's cousin from the Usu clan as previously rumored, but Yuan'ning of the second branch.
In the end, Ye Chuixue still chose to look the other way. Although the two were serious felons, at heart they were kind; at least they did not commit evil for other reasons, but solely for food. Just like the Kunlun slave in The Promise, whoever fed them meat, they would follow.
Third, I have made too many enemies; plenty of people are willing to help Xiang Beifeng and Shen Guoqiang eradicate me.
Yun Mo nodded. To say she was not nervous would be a lie—especially on the wedding night, when she had been so nervous her heart nearly leaped from her chest.
"That hurts so much! It's not like we're germs!" Xiangru bounced over to catch up with Xie Ziyan, linking arms with her and coaxing affectionately.
In fact, had his avatar not been condensed from spiritual energy, he likely would have been utterly disheveled in front of Cai Hongyi and the others, exposing his true strength long ago.
Clinging to dreams of striking it rich, the mother and her two children searched everywhere they could think of, not even sparing the space beneath the bed. Yet after bustling about for half the day, they failed to find even a single copper coin.
Receiving Yun Moyue's response, Su Henyi gave an enigmatic smile and strode outside.
All these thoughtful arrangements were naturally made by Master Hu, Hu Dahai. Now, with the addition of this bowl of love-infused shaved ice, Ruchu truly felt like singing at the top of her lungs: In this world, only Dad is good; a child with a dad is like a treasure.
"Although this Spirit Nourishing Art is only the most basic cultivation art for divine sense, if you cultivate it properly, it will bring you unexpected benefits," Hong'er said.
Right now, the Emperor had merely demoted each of them by one grade, which was practically the lightest conceivable punishment; had they spoken up to plead for them, it would undoubtedly have drawn fire upon themselves.
Once August arrived, Xiangru grew busy, making a flurry of preparations for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. She put up announcements early on to inform diners that special holiday sets would be available during those three festival days. In addition to the traditional seasonal fare, several new pastries would be launched on the day of the festival simultaneously with the Five Flavors Pastry Shop.
The food street already had heavy foot traffic to begin with, and with the added publicity, less than an hour after opening, the entrance of the Yun Family Tofu Shop was thronged with commoners eager to buy tofu.
