Volume 1, Chapter 109: It's So Hot, Sister

The three of them played a few more rounds of the game, and without a doubt, Zhou Jingdu was soundly defeated.

It was ten o'clock at night.

He ordered a cup of milk tea each for Meng Xingyi and Shen Zhaowu.

He rarely used food delivery apps, so it took him quite a while to fumble through the process and figure it out.

Shen Zhaowu did not often drink milk tea either; although she had a sweet tooth, she generally preferred coffee. She could not understand why such sweet, cloying milk tea was so popular.

While inwardly despising his cheap father-in-law, Zhang Yan dared not be arrogant at this moment.

The directionally challenged woman naturally understood what Xi Ping meant. Even though she possessed immense courage and backbone in her heart, on this path, she remained a bewildered traveler, striding forward without a sense of direction.

She dared not look at Lu Zhi'ang's expression, so she could only pull Lu Xiaoxiao down and whisper into her ear as well.

"I still feel like this isn't real!" Lu Ming patted her face with her own second-hand phone, then rubbed it vigorously. This was certainly not a dream. Yet, for a shaman to suddenly appear and claim that she, Lu Ming, was of the Shaman Emperor's lineage—a Highness—still felt utterly preposterous to her.

In the moment their eyes met, those few short breaths felt as long as centuries.

"It has been many years. My sister has grown up, and has grown distant as well!" Ning Zhengzhi’s tone and smile were tinged with helplessness and disappointment.

Added to the fact that Chen Jiaonan had cautioned me earlier, I was now even more certain that Zhao Yu would not dare to be forceful with me. The tides of fortune shift; when Zhao Yu was riding high, he only knew how to bully me. Now that my own strength had grown, it was only natural to pay him back in kind.

Just then, the burly man kicked toward me. I dodged the attack with a sidestep, then grabbed his leg and, using every ounce of strength I had, threw him over my shoulder.

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, Ou Lai’s face was filled with ecstasy. He was no fool like Zhang Yidao; after news of Ye Luo vanished from Edun City, Zhang Yidao had busied himself only with expanding his territory. To Ou Lai, such behavior was nothing short of idiotic.

Zhang Xiaoxiao gave them a bath and washed their dirty clothes with soap. Thinking that Sister Liu was quite busy and surely had no time to wash her own clothes, she knocked on Sister Liu’s door to ask if she needed any laundry done.

The six guardians were essentially like six department managers, each with their own jurisdiction.

Even Tianyi Games, relying on *Ultimate Duel* and *Magic War*, was only just barely able to withstand the pressure against Dragon Games, which was backed by two major streaming platforms.

Throughout the match, Russia controlled the tempo, but Norway’s defense was surprisingly impressive; their cohesion and protective positioning made it nearly impossible for the Russian forwards to find any quality shooting opportunities.

The Yihua Palace mobilized vast manpower and resources, yet they still could not locate the Underworld. Since the incident at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Underworld seemed to have suddenly vanished from the martial arts world, leaving no trace behind. Perhaps, just as Li Gu had anticipated, the Underworld had gone into hiding to plot an even greater movement.

After settling his household affairs, the God of Wealth Zhao mounted his black tiger, slipped out of the Hall of Wealth in a flash, descended straight to the mortal realm, and headed toward the Western Continent.

The child was growing bigger by the day, but most of the time, she would not cry; whenever she wanted to play, she would simply point at things and babble.

The door opened, and Liang Tian thought for a moment: with looks like these, why on earth would he choose to be a game designer? Wouldn’t it be better to be a movie star?

Not to mention that it was the off-season for farming, and the others had their own homes; how could one have the nerve to ask people to come over and help with postpartum care?

The tears Su Xi had been holding back could no longer be contained; they slid from her eyes, distinct and clear. Yet, still mindful of Jiang Yan, she turned her head the moment the tears fell.

With his current strength, not to mention the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he could suppress and annihilate even those in the mid-stage.
