Volume One, Chapter 16: Changning's Counterattack

"Why must you still use a banana?" After filming several advertisements, Wang Zhaojun watched Lin Xiafan insert a banana into that spot, which inevitably made her recall the times she had clamped Lin Xiafan's treasure with that same area.

The middle-aged man, clearly the leader, was already directing the workers to clear the wreckage caused by the landslide. Feng Yiming ignored the workers' enthusiastic attempts to make him stay, slung a mud-stained scarf over his shoulder, and strolled out of the construction site.

Her tone was very easygoing, which reassured Hoshizora Rin, who had been worried that her previous actions might have displeased Kato Megumi.

According to his original assumptions, Shiina Mashiro was at most just a bit pampered and sheltered, having been so well taken care of by her family that she lacked experience with daily life; she only needed a bit of guidance.

"What? When did you receive this news? Why didn't I know about it?" the acting dean asked suddenly upon hearing the words of his assistants.

This point was valid. In the market ten years later, where the red wine industry would be oversaturated, this bottle of wine—an original import—would have a cost price of less than 20 yuan and a retail price of around 80 yuan. However, in a hotel in 2003, its selling price would likely be no less than 500 yuan.

"Alright, enough playing. Don't take off your clothes. Let's go inside; let's try to get out of here within a week," Lin Xiafan said, seeing them trying to seduce him by undressing.

Once in the car, with no outsiders present, Wang Ziyan finally revealed her true colors, glaring viciously at Lu Qing, who was leaning against the car seat.

It wasn't that the old man's team hadn't worked hard enough; it was simply that the process required depth and accumulation. The team lacked nothing, but their short time since rising to prominence made this disadvantage unavoidable.

However, just as he was about to pull away, he was forced back by a sudden, intense pressure.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Was I not telling the truth just now?" Lu Lingruo also asked in return.

Meanwhile, on the road, Hu Xiu was driving Liu Zhize home. Liu Zhize had originally tried to stop her from leaving, but Hu Xiu insisted, and Liu Zhize could not say much more. Watching her drive away, he walked toward his house.

For this rare live broadcast, the two great empires had prepared for many years, because even if they died on the battlefield, they could ensure that many people would remember this day and know that such an earth-shattering battle had once taken place in this very spot.

"It's just that I knew Yongning was back. Naturally, there is a portion for Xu Xiang among all these things as well. He was called back by his father, so I was asked to bring a gift in his place," Xu Xiang said with a smile.

Speaking of this, the head of the Li family shed tears. At this moment, Mentor Meiling could no longer hold back and slammed her hand against the table.

Yang Guang immediately developed murderous intent toward Li Yuan. Fortunately, Xiao Meiniang, worried that her brother-in-law would be killed by Yang Guang just like her own brother Xiao Zong, pleaded for mercy on Li Yuan's behalf, thus saving his life.

Because the black phoenix was no longer on the central peak, Chen Lixin understood the reason after a moment of thought: since he was now stronger than the black phoenix, he no longer needed it for battle.

This creature is called a Qiuniu, the eldest of the dragon's nine sons. It loves music and is often depicted crouching on the head of a zither, enjoying the melodies; thus, its image is carved onto the instrument's head. This decoration has been passed down, and even today, some precious huqin instruments feature a dragon head, known as "dragon-head huqin."

The one hundred thousand Tiger Roar Army and the one hundred thousand Behemoth beasts finally bared their fangs at this moment, biting down toward the Merfolk and Winged Bat tribes before them.

When this ancient Han Dynasty tomb was first opened, a polychrome pottery silkworm-shaped lantern jar was discovered at the entrance, leaving everyone excited—they had finally encountered a tomb of real value.

After saying this, Di Lingzhuang turned to leave; she really did not want to stay with Nangong Ze.

Zhang Yuqin and the others were peripheral figures in high society, looked down upon by the vast majority of the circle. Having finally gotten into business school, they didn't want to be expelled.

As for Ye Zhifei, who was in seclusion, Feng Liekuang sought her out every few days, either coming over himself or sending people to fetch her.

"I have nothing to say to you, move aside!" Chu Mozhan pushed Chu Moxuan away and chased out of the office.

Qiao Yi's expression changed repeatedly. "Don't worry about her; let her curse!" Afterward, she returned to the living room, feeling stifled.

"Is Boss Jin not at the shop today?" Du Yun couldn't be bothered to argue with these employees and asked indifferently.

In business, one must never offend the source, or one might lose the opportunity to make a fortune.

With a slight smile, she waved her hand. "Mom, look at what you're saying. We're a family; talking about apologies all the time makes us seem like strangers. Alright, let's leave today's matter at that. Dad, what do you think?" Song Ci turned her gaze to Song Yuanyang.

After Ouyang Yingqi and Nangong Linyi went to the Jinling Kingdom, Yu Ziqian and the others continued with their campus lives.

This guy had a thick skin; you couldn't drive him away or scold him away—he just loved to cling on. If she reached out to ask him for money, he would hand it over with both hands without a word, showing not a hint of reluctance, which ended up making her feel embarrassed instead.

"Naturally. Insulting the Imperial Grand Marshal and shouting in the royal court—either charge is enough to cost him his life. The Grand Marshal is magnanimous; sparing his life is already an act of grace. I have no objections." Lu Zhi didn't even glance at Wu Fu, instead praising Dong Zhuo.

My eyes flickered. It was inappropriate to ask about her family affairs, and I had no desire to know anything; I simply checked her body as I did every day, and there were no abnormalities.

The group met at the entrance of the Emperor's Yuyang Palace. "Greetings, Prince Qi," Xia Lishang was the first to speak.

The long arrow passed through, yet the body of the Wuya expert remained suspended in mid-air for two full seconds due to the momentum of the arrow. Though the time the body hung in the air was only a brief moment, the shock it gave those who witnessed it was beyond compare.

"Swapped? Yes, yes, it must have been swapped by someone! None of this has anything to do with me," Zhao Baolin hurriedly cried out in her defense.
