The same pair of eyes—unchanged in color, shape, and every minute detail—yet they became entirely different once infused with that spark of life. Whether in the tales passed down across the continent or the songs of the bards in the Magic World, the eyes—they are as important as the soul. "If you wish to understand a person, you must first gaze into their eyes," so goes the Empire's proverb. No doubt, before this, these eyes were beautiful, yet not so striking as to draw too much…-

Since the items they brought were placed in Liu Qu's display cabinet, the sales results were much better than expected. By the afternoon, three to five buyers had come to inquire about the prices, and none of them dared to lowball too much due to Master Liu's reputation. The Jade Maitreya was even sold for a high price of 250,000 yuan to a collector who admired Zigang jade carvings. By the end of the exchange meeting, Wei Yang had pocketed an additional 400,000 yuan, making it a quite fruitful day. Liu…-

90 Xiang Lei returned to the dorm and found that Liu Chong had assembled a computer, so he borrowed it to go online for a while. As usual, there were a bunch of messages on QQ. Xiang Lei skimmed through them, most of which were from Shao Yiming and Xu Menghu. Seeing Shao Yiming's messages, Xiang Lei felt two emotions intertwine—regret and guilt. But just the sight of Xu Menghu's blinking avatar made Xiang Lei's heart skip a beat instantly. Xu Menghu's earliest message was: "But maybe you don't realize…-

Seeing his younger brother, Fang Zijing felt somewhat helpless. He beckoned him over and lowered his voice, asking, "Why did you deliver a memorial for an official?

—• VOLUME 3: City Lights•— After that day, I packed my things and went on another business trip, lasting over a month, with no chance to continue hearing Lin Ze's story. When I returned home again, it was the hottest time in Chongqing. The temperature outside had been above 40°C for seven consecutive days. The urban area's temperature warning only went up to 42°C, but in reality, it might have been even higher—the TV stations just didn't report it. In such weather, most people wouldn't…-

95 In November, Xiang Lei rented an apartment near the school and moved almost all his belongings out of the dormitory. Because Li Zeng had said that his workplace was restructuring and he was facing layoffs, so he might as well resign outright and come to Beijing to look for work. When Xiang Lei heard this news, he didn't feel the excitement he thought he should have. He even repeatedly tried to persuade Li Zeng not to make such a rash decision. But Li Zeng's decision was clearly not something…

"What was the reason for your first argument?" "Because the housekeeper's son was getting married." When Guan Lan first moved in with Zhuang Lin, he told him, "I'm not used to doing housework." He even added, "I don't do any at all." Zhuang Lin didn't take it seriously at first. After all, Guan Lan had lived alone for so many years.

Governor Lei Ming knelt in the main hall, drenched in sweat despite the chill of December, with the cold floor sending shivers up his spine. Xie Yi seemed rather at ease, seated above with a token from the governor's desk in his hand, casually examining it while saying, "Your family hails from a military lineage, inheriting a position within the court. During your time as a deputy minister in the Ministry of War, you were ambitious and made quite an impact with your bold words. The emperor has taken…

Stepping out of the ascending staircase and onto the ground, the scene that greeted them was a vast, empty expanse of rain. Unlike the dry climate of the Imperial Capital, the western region was rainy, and a single downpour could last for many days. The magical barrier enveloping the Death Swamp blocked the flow of elements, but it couldn't stop the endless rain—droplets fell from the gray sky, stretching into thin threads in the air before disappearing into the blackened ground and the branches…
