Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Perhaps he was looking forward to reading this book, or perhaps he was not in the right state of mind when reading it. But when I started reading again, I found that I was gradually attracted by the story. The protagonist's growth and struggle, as well as the fierce battle with the enemy, made me feel the tension and excitement of the story. This book was not only a Xianxia novel, but it also expressed some deeper topics and values. The immortals and cultivation in the story were just superficial things. What was more important was the spiritual inspiration and life thinking it brought to people. 6."National Forensics": It's a really good case solving story. From the first chapter onwards, the plot is especially compact. It feels very immersive when you read it. It's a rare good story. I recommend it to everyone. 7."Wait, Heroine":"Wait, Heroine" was a very interesting and explosive novel.

The story was set in a setting where the protagonist faced the dilemma of a shaky country, accumulated abuses, and a rebellion of the Hu people. However, he insisted on making the Tang Dynasty not lose its splendor and showed his determination and courage. The update of this book was very powerful, and the author's sincerity was evident.

Don't say much. Put it on the bookshelf first. I'll start killing it after a while. [Final Divine Title: Pugilist, Stats Added, Bloodline Fusion in the Later Stage] 4-star expectation️️️️ 11."Beyond Time": Er Gen's new book, guaranteed quality in the early stages. He abandoned his cheerful and relaxed style and leaned towards a heavy one. In the later stages... I'll see for myself. "This Game Is Too Realistic" Status: New [Short comment: Chen Xing became popular after the apocalypse, so this book should be back to square one.] The content was about the behind-the-scenes construction of the wasteland. The current level was getting better, and the plot was getting more and more creative as the construction started. The progress was relatively slow, but the unique desolate and barbaric taste of the apocalyptic wasteland was indeed felt. However, the problem was that the layout was too vast, and there were too many characters to focus on. As a result, most of the time, the book felt very scattered and watery. This might be a common problem of the behind-the-scenes style, and it was difficult to achieve perfection. Rating: 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol": This is the first book to be promoted! I really, really, really love this book. The author didn't originally write online novels, but physical books. In short, the writing style was excellent! Extremely logical! In the early stages, if it didn't make sense or some small details were foreshadowing, a reasonable explanation would be given. The reader had to read patiently. It was best to turn off the chapter and read it seriously to avoid being spoilt. Wouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment if the clues and guesses that he had dug out were verified one by one in the later chapters? If there are people like me who can't dig into the details easily, they can also read the plot and the description to understand the love and hate entanglements of the characters. The author of this book had a strong foundation in writing. From the choice of words and sentences to the connection of the plot, it was amazing. The entanglement of the characters makes it even more difficult for me to describe. Destroy a region for a country, okay? Is it possible to feed the people to wild animals for a country? … Whether it was love, love, or hatred, they were all vivid. The main character, Jiang Wang, made me love him even more deeply. He was just a teenager who fought to open his meridians, to survive for his family, and to suffer for the hatred of his hometown. However, a seventeen-year-old boy had left his hometown, which had already become hell, behind his sister's back. His hair had turned white, and his hometown had been destroyed. His friends and family had been separated, and his lifespan had been reduced. The burden on his shoulders was too heavy, his sense of responsibility was too strong, his friends were too few, his enemies were too strong, and he was too persistent. He was a gentleman, a talented swordsman, An 'an's only family member, and a teenager who was only 19 years old. Recently, the plot had been reversed, reversed, and reversed again and again. It was a reversal of survival in a desperate situation. I really like this book. The author's talent and love for his own books are unbearable. If you can, please come and read this book, the world in this book! The writing style is limited, and the good books are difficult to describe, but only one or two tenths. Ring of Destiny: Surging emotions, unlimited fantasies, waving against the wind, young undefeated hot-blooded! The Mysterious World, Part Two.

"Mr. Jiang, I am Zhu Di. Please be the state preceptor!" "Ascending on a Better Day": Strongly recommended, not to be missed by Xianxia lovers, and recommended for readers with a wide range of tastes. Otaku Pig's new book. In my opinion, this book should be another breakthrough for Otaku Pig. I think this book is better than the previous books. I think it's good because he changed the style of the previous books at the beginning of the book. He started with a blockbuster scene. People who read it were excited and felt it immediately. After reading books for so many years, I was suppressed by all kinds of books with similar styles. It was difficult for me to immerse my mind into the story in the book when I read. This was one of them. The genre of the book is Xianxia. So far, I feel that the biggest highlight is the villain, as well as some sentences that make people relax and laugh from time to time. Villains in the hands of pigs have a lot of personality, and this book is no exception. I won't spoil the details. Anyway, when Old Ancestor Zhou "passed the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Human Tribulation", I was very sad. I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. This is a rare feeling that I can't bear to part with the villain. 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth": Bei Tai·Bottom-licking Rebirth Counterattack: "I Really Didn't Want to Be a Sea King" It's a pretty girl, worth recommending Description: Struggle until you can't afford a house at the age of thirty-eight.
