Chapter Fifty-Five: I Want You to Sleep With Me

Beneath her passing hand, the muscles tensed imperceptibly.
A satisfying reaction.
Sumian recalled that night when she was eighteen, when Shang Jiuxu had been just the same, except that he had caught her hand.
This time, he did not.
It was a tacit consent, yet it felt like a form of encouragement.
Her hand moved to his chest, tracing a circle, then lingering with a gentle press.
Feeling that temperature rising, Sumian loosened her supporting hand, let it drop into the pillow, and lay back down where she was.

Once this fellow finished wandering around, only to return empty-handed after "finding no trace of the Others," and the Night's Watch authorities subsequently announced the successful "expulsion of the Others beyond the realm of humanity," Jaime would have all the glory and credit he desired. Surely, he couldn't blame his failure to find the Others on her, the Lord Commander, could he?

"Goodness, it's even devouring a Nascent Soul," Lieyan exclaimed with a smile, not pausing in his stride as he swept directly toward the demonic wind.

Xiaotian turned to bark twice, then stared intently at the sky, unsure whether it was waiting for Liu Jingyi or the Sheriff.
After all, here in Yandu, no one dared to do anything to people like them, especially when so many young masters were gathered together, so there was no need to bring an entourage.

Brother Lei was still lying on that pristine hospital bed, but his entire body was bound in bandages, looking just like a mummy. The bandages were stained with blood, and his injuries appeared quite severe.

"Let's hope nothing goes wrong this time," Liu Jingyi and Zhuang Jian said, sitting in the front seats and turning back with worried expressions.

They also referred to the state of the wearers at five minutes and ten minutes later as the active containment state and passive containment state, respectively.

I knew that Bai Shicheng was the head of the Beijing branch of the Black Fiend Sect, but who among the Black Fiend Sect bore the surname Zhang? Could it be Zhang Jingjing? But didn't Zhou瞳 shatter her physical vessel just a moment ago? Why would her cultivation drop so drastically? Instead of finding a place to recuperate at a time like this, she came out to fight us—is she eager to ensure her death is thorough?

Grasping Lin Mu'an's hand even tighter, Lin Mu'an could feel him saying softly, "Just walk the way you used to walk before, and treat the pedestrians on the side as if they were air!" Trying to comfort Fang Yuan, Lin Mu'an also took a few steps forward.

Hearing this, Yao Yu and the others hurriedly looked into the pill cauldron, only to see more than a dozen flawless, rounded medicinal pills emitting a rich aroma still rolling around inside.

Just as the two of them revealed their figures, the somewhat weak voice of the Blood Dragon sounded abruptly once more. Upon hearing this voice, the two of them felt another surge of shock.

If you are lucky enough to experience an epiphany, you might leap straight from the early stage of the Jade Origin Immortal realm to the realm of the Supreme Primordial Immortal. Of course, such a terrifying jump in power is extremely rare to achieve, because the state of epiphany does not come easily.

Seeing that the heat was just right, Gu Shibanniang picked out the lead tetroxide from the herbs, tossed it into the pan, stir-fried it for a quarter of an hour, scooped it out, washed the pan, and placed it back over the fire.

Before long, a pungent smell of blood drifted in from outside the room. Nanny Wang returned to Ulanara's side and whispered in her ear, "She's dead. When this old slave went out, she had just breathed her last." Ulanara frowned, thinking to herself what a pity it was that she had died just like that; however, since it was just past the first lunar month, it was not the time for scandals to break out. So be it, let it go.

"Are we all going? Wouldn't it be better to stay on the Saint Dragon Continent? I've heard there are so many powerful experts there; if we go, we will surely bring trouble to you, Brother Lu," Shen Jie said despondently.

After entering the city, Han Xin immediately ordered troops to be drafted to besiege the royal palace. Although this Han army was an elite force, their morale had completely shattered, and Han Xin captured the palace gates with minimal effort, leading his massive army on a city-wide manhunt for Liu Bang.

"Master, I suggest you just snatch those things away!" Old Four's voice timely echoed in Lu Fei's mind.
