Volume 1, Chapter 31: Widow Zhang Delivers Vegetables

From her words, Ye Cheng could tell she must have come by several times before, only to refrain from waking him when she saw him sleeping. This cautious demeanor was a stark contrast to her previously sharp-tongued nature; it was as if she had become a completely different person.

Ye Cheng understood why: those four mud crabs had brought hope to Widow Zhang, much like a spandex-clad warrior bringing light.

"Auntie, you're too kind, bringing me vegetables and all," Ye Cheng said as he walked out.

"It’s just some stuff I grow myself; it's not worth much," Widow Zhang said, handing him the bucket.

Ye Cheng looked inside. There were cabbage, radishes, and water spinach. While they weren't expensive, they were seasonal and very fresh.

"These are great things, Auntie..."

Ruan Yu felt her luck was quite good today. The courtyard gate, which was usually kept tightly shut, was actually slightly ajar! Like a drowning person catching hold of a piece of driftwood, Ruan Yu pushed the half-open door and rushed inside without a moment's hesitation.

Liu Baihua thought to himself that if the Immortal could even predict when he would return, he must have calculated the different heavenly tribulations abroad. Therefore, the Immortal’s actions must have had a profound purpose.

At this point, Fang Jinhua knew that He Daoxing would never easily reveal the origin of those vegetables.

The treatment here was truly excellent for them. Not only were their food and shelter guaranteed, but if they worked well, they could even save money. Furthermore, after living here for a year, they would be registered as non-agricultural residents of Xiangshan County.

Li Xiuyan spoke while taking a necklace from inside her clothes. She opened the pendant, which contained a miniature group photo.

Pausing for a moment, he saw Xu Yi’s brow relax, clearly having absorbed what he had just explained, and so he continued his story.

He had intentionally titled the eldest prince, Zhou Yan, as the Prince of Duan, and spread rumors suggesting that the Li family would be the next to be dealt with.

His face remained cold as ice. Especially when he saw the bloodstain on Xie Yangui’s cheek, the murderous intent in his eyes turned almost palpable, as if it could freeze everything in the surroundings.

The young man in white glared fiercely at Wei Yuan. Then, wielding his ring-pommel saber with both hands, he unleashed a surge of majestic crimson primal energy, striking at Wei Yuan with the terrifying momentum of a heaven-splitting blow.

If the influence of Laozi and Ji Jin’s cultivation on the entire era had not yet manifested, it was perhaps because it was still too early.

On ordinary days, the Five Cities Garrison bullied the markets and oppressed the people. Throughout the Yanlong Imperial Capital, who among those without backing hadn't been trampled by them?

Within a few days, a middleman came with news that the Meng family wanted to sell their wharf at the fishing village. This made Master Jiang wonder if he was having a stroke of luck; how could such a monumental difficulty suddenly find a turning point? This, in turn, aroused his vigilance.

Before the vast amount of Hundred-Turn Pills could be converted into spiritual energy, Zhang Yang plunged the tip of his Zixiao Sword into the ground. As the blade flickered, the spiritual energy that had just emerged within his body was suddenly sucked away by the sword.

Master Jim turned sideways, his prayer beads flying up. But it was only a momentary block; the sword light descended, breaking through his golden body and nearly severing his arm.

The kneeling demon stared fixedly at Li Ming with his single eye, wishing he could flay Li Ming alive and tear him to pieces.

However, given the divine destiny of this era, even someone who had just reached the status of a Supreme Being could not withstand it; perhaps only the strongest of the Supreme Beings could make a move.

Ever since she was "abandoned" by Qiqina, the lonely and desolate Xiao Meiyue hit it off with Ma Qianluo. Ma Qianluo even expressed a willingness to help her, with the condition that she would gain access to Xiao Meiyue's entire family social circle and a fresh start to her campus life.

As they spoke, these two generations separated by thousands of years shared a flicker of mutual understanding in their eyes.

A massive palm print, carrying all the energy of heaven and earth, whistled through the air and slammed into the gatehouse of the Seilense Academy.

A Shu finally seized an opportunity where no one was competing with him, determined to risk everything for this chance. If he succeeded, he might just be able to turn his fortunes around.

Sure enough, upon hearing George's words and realizing that this footage was likely related to his old rival Wenger, Ferguson immediately agreed—the Sir was naturally extremely eager for any chance to see his old rival Wenger make a fool of himself.

Although Lin Li’s Observation Haki could not perceive what Blue Snake Moss was planning, he could tell whether or not he was truly unconscious. He let out a series of mocking chuckles, continuing to taunt him.

Surging chakra condensed violently at Tsunade's voice, fully concentrated in her fist as she delivered a straight punch toward the city wall.

Looking from the inside out, one could see the clouds and mist where the cloud cranes flew away; but looking from the outside in, aside from the thatched courtyard, even Lin Yang and the eight stone tablets were invisible.

Shao Qiang bowed respectfully, nodded, and after turning to leave, gave the group a solemn look before closing the door.

Seeing their side warned by Webb with a yellow card, and subsequently being repeatedly penalized for fouls, the Bolton players finally realized the situation was dire and hurried to restrain their actions, no longer daring to act as recklessly as before.

The Seido team was now like a sharp sword polished and hidden in its scabbard; though nothing could be seen on the surface, it would reveal its icy edge when truly needed.

One really couldn't blame Tsunade for having such thoughts; it was truly the aftereffect of merging with the husky. Recently, the husky had been a mix of "chuunibyou" and sentimentality, and after merging with it, Tsunade inevitably picked up some of those traits.

After all, unlike other leagues, the Premier League had no winter break. Therefore, even though the Christmas holiday, so highly valued by Westerners, was approaching, George still had to work hard and could not enjoy a rare Christmas vacation with his family.

Compared to the physical body, humans were more focused on the exploration of the soul. Generations of masters and religions had been struggling in pursuit of the ethereal theories of the soul.

As she spoke, she realized that she had gradually lowered her defenses, her eyes shimmering with a faint, crystalline light.

So, was everything they had experienced actually just a plan set up by the Jade Emperor? She and Bi An believed that after going through so much, they should cherish this marriage, but now, knowing that so many events were deliberately orchestrated by the High God, were the trials of love between them even real?
