Volume 1, Chapter 23: System Upgrade Successful

However, some students in Class 59 of the fourth grade knew what kind of place this was. Thus, they had some inkling of why Meng Yunyan had brought them here.

Damn it, why did my sister have to visit just now, only to be interrupted by Ji Ling? Ji Ling is a stickler for her word; she insists on staying with me today. How am I supposed to talk my way out of this?

"I’m twenty-five, ma’am. Why do you ask?" Liang Xiaojun looked at the strange old woman in surprise, unsure of her intentions.

Three months passed in a flash. Finally, it was time for the world-renowned Yang Yunhan himself to step forward and perform the martial arts demonstration.

"That may be, but I can see that you and Dan Zhu are still itching to go, frustrated that I didn't let you watch," the Empress Dowager glanced at her, smiling faintly.

*The Regent’s Phoenix Rules the World* will be updated slowly starting today, pending contract finalization. You may all bookmark it for now and wait for it to grow before diving in.

"Then strive to win her back," Aunt Yu encouraged. Seeing the sorrow on Prince Qing’s face, her heart ached.

The Detai Palace fell into a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop. As the first snow approached, everyone felt a cold sweat prickling their backs.

"Sister Su, do you know them? I heard Master Qingyu hasn't seen outsiders for years. Who are these two?" Seeing her reaction, Gu Lianli quickly suppressed his slight indignation and asked for guidance.

Prime Minister Qin curled his lips into a malicious smile again, placing a hand on her waist. "What, missed your brother after a few days apart?" As he spoke, his hand slid down, brazenly giving her buttocks a hard pinch.

However, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the towering ancient temple in the center. Their eyes gleamed with brilliance, and almost everyone immediately realized what it was.

In its movements of evasion and attack, the Snow Rhinoceros King displayed its superior combat prowess. As expected of a king, it possessed a truly distinct air of majesty.

On the vast and magnificent ancient road stood a majestic fortress. While it was far inferior to the Immortal Heavenly Pass, it was still grand enough to reach the heavens, bearing the vicissitudes of time, and guarded by powerful beings and entities of great capability.

Gu Ye and Jie'er arrived in a forest known as the Forest of Illusions. It earned this name because the forest was inhabited by many Stantler; the curved antlers on their heads created a strange atmosphere in the surroundings and generated an incredible space.

As the hero who scored the goal and equalized for Liverpool, George was naturally the focus of the stadium's big screen. However, because he was initially surrounded by his teammates, the screen couldn't capture his image.

Lu Bu had no idea about the intricacies involved, but he knew he had made a wager with Gan Ning.

Therefore, land was not the most pressing need for Chen Xu. On the contrary, population and grain were the true foundations for the growth of the Chen Group.

"Elite Four Agatha, aren't you also quite relaxed? I don't think you'll let me stay so relaxed today," Gu Ye replied. Agatha just smiled.

When we clashed again, Master Roshi gripped my fist and asked softly.

She wore light makeup today, her long brown hair draped softly over her shoulders, and her elegantly designed black dress made her look exceptionally dignified and proper—a rare display of low-key gentleness.

If you don't have someone you love yet, you can give it to the person you admire, respect, or wish to thank the most.

The lights in the private room were bright, and Zhou Ci saw at a glance that her complexion was poor. He walked over with a cold face.

Choi Yoo-jin clenched her fists and roared at Chen Shaoming, cutting him off, but that single sentence was enough for Kim Je-ha to realize the gravity of the news.

Without waiting for Gu Shennshen to speak, she entered the office. Gu Shennshen turned his gaze toward the direction of the CEO’s private pantry.

Anyone in the imperial court would consider their own future. Even with profound cultivation and magic, one is still but a mortal who must plan for their descendants.

"I intended to hide in the shadows and take a cold shot, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me," Xu Jia shook his head. The police wanted to take him alive, but he needed Liu Wei dead to ensure his own safety.

"Just how big of a basement would the Chaozhou gang need to hold that many people? And the Liufu Tea House is in a bustling area; digging a basement that large would make quite a commotion. Are the neighbors all deaf?" Gao Wei shook his head, explaining.

"No! No! We’ll die! Even if we go to prison, we’ll die!" A young man shook his head frantically, his expression full of terror, firmly refusing to go along with it.

Prince Rong couldn't quite wrap his head around it for a moment, his face changing several times before he realized he had been played.

After Liu Shuang lay inside, the lid of the space-capsule-like object closed, and he was as if a living man sealed in a coffin.

As soon as the words fell, Cai Fufa’s body went limp, and he slumped straight to the floor. The expression on his face seemed frozen. After about ten seconds, Cai Fufa finally seemed to react and burst into loud, wailing sobs.

Rong Lang exited the main gate and looked back at the man following him so obediently. The air around him was tranquil, and the light from the lobby shone from behind him. How to put it? It felt like the moment you turn your head, that person is standing in the dim light.

The fact that the Blood Lotus Sect could recruit new guardians in such a short time only proved that the terms they offered were exceptionally generous.

Qin Yang smiled. Sensing that the crowd around them was growing, he let go of the other person's hand, stopped talking, and walked toward the parked car.

"Elder Liu, don't blame yourself yet. Tell me slowly what happened." Mo Mo glanced at the other group in the distance. Seeing that they were still motionless, he decided to understand the situation of the sect first.

"Haha, brother-in-law, just go and take a look. Whatever the third one has, I can get as well. If you see something you like later, just ask me," Tang Xiao said, making a grand promise to Tang Wei.

Qian Botong didn't say much else; he patted Liu Shuang on the back and followed Lie Tong upstairs.

Chen Feng naturally didn't believe it. To his knowledge, Lin Ruolan and Su Shan had no connection, and in the month he had been working there, he had never heard Su Shan mention Lin Ruolan.
