"This place is mysterious and beautiful, the porcelain here is exquisitely crafted, the silk is smoother and finer than a maiden's skin, and there is a musician as talented and lovely as you. Your beauty is as radiant as a fragrant rose in full bloom, your talent shines like a pearl in the night. Our meeting must surely be ordained by God!"
Johnson became increasingly enthusiastic as he spoke, unconsciously moving closer. Despite his cologne, Lu Yalan still caught a strong whiff of his body odor.
Judging by Seventh Concubine's expression, it was obvious this foreigner was important.
His impassioned explanation seemed more like a motivational speech about conquering exams rather than a discussion about test papers, interspersed with references to political topics.

"Brother, could you not get so worked up next time? I almost died here, whew," Chen Nan said, patting his forehead.
The bed had been cleaned, but the blankets were still up on the mountain and hadn't been brought down. The ones in the house had all been chewed up by mice and thrown away.

She feared her brother would be negatively affected by Ye Guchen's words and so came to check on him every few hours.
There was nothing else to be done; after all, Zhang Fei still had contingency plans. He had already used the method Xia Zixi had suggested to send information back to the Lian base. Now, they just had to wait for reinforcements to arrive and the crisis would be resolved.
"Who are you, really? Where do you come from? How do you know all the combat techniques of cultivators?" Tian Chongyuan asked coldly.

It fumbled with its abilities, but only when manipulating metal did it realize something was wrong—the metal seemed different from ordinary metal, flowing extraordinarily slowly under its control.
"Yes! The weather is wonderful!" Zhao Yao'er pressed her waist tightly into his palm, then suddenly stretched out her arms, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted loudly. Her voice, as clear as an oriole, mingled with the splashing waves, echoed for a long time above the cliffs.
Su Mingyue nervously clutched Lin Zhen's collar, her body trembling slightly. Feeling Lin Zhen's breath on her face, she dared not meet his eyes and slowly closed her own.
