Volume One, Chapter 32: Otherwise, I'd Be In Trouble
Li Feng remained vigilant, choosing not to stop Li Xin even when she stepped on his foot; he was determined to uncover who was trying to scheme against him.
When the business van pulled into the hidden factory, it was just as I had suspected: Section Chief Xu had learned nothing about the situation here from Scarface.
Ning Hehuan did not look up, searching meticulously; she might as well have moved the stone table and dug three feet into the ground.
Whenever we grew rowdy, our old squad leader, Brother Tao, would issue an order for us to leave.
The medicinal pill melted the moment it touched his tongue, turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat. By the time it reached the area near his Shanzhong acupoint, it had completely vaporized, dispersing into all his meridians.
Du Jinlong was a complete blockhead; he did not understand Cui Bao’s predicament and assumed Cui Bao had intentionally set him up.
Although it was the first time he had heard the voice, Kratos knew that the one standing against him in the arena was the very Knight of Calamity who had brought him in.
"Doesn't that make Silver Fox very dangerous? His ranking is only fifth!" Deep down, Kyoko Miyamoto always felt a hint of worry for Ye Tian.
Upon hearing Aristophanes’ explanation, everyone could not help but show expressions of sudden realization, followed by a chilling murderous intent in their eyes. They drew their weapons and surrounded the Third Prince and his party.
"Move aside! Isn't Room 888 reserved for the most distinguished guests? Doesn't our Young Master Tang count? Do you want me to have your hotel shut down?" Before the meal arrived, this voice echoed from the doorway. It seemed someone of status had arrived; it looked like this meal would not be a peaceful one.
Li Guoqiang was just declaring his own innocence when a scornful rebuke came from beside him, causing his expression to freeze.
Zhang Wuji, possessing both the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, suddenly employed the adhesion techniques of Taiji Fist. Although he had been learning it for less than two hours, he had already mastered it thoroughly.
With that, Long Hao once again produced his credentials and handed them to the stunning, mature beauty in the storage room who was clutching a shimmering dagger with nervous tension. Seeing Lin Shiwan in person, Long Hao could not help but subconsciously scan her figure; the visual impact was even greater than in her photos—simply beyond words.
Even if it should have remained in the trash can, she opened it out of curiosity to see what it was.
"Hmph, Long Hao! Don't get cocky. Even if you have obtained the weapons, it remains to be seen whether you can walk out of Dragon City alive. We shall see!" With that, Zhang Chenhu turned to leave with his subordinates. But how could Long Hao, who had been waiting for a chance to settle the score, let him off so easily?
Hearing Nini happily agree, Gu Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead. Being a competent father was no easy task.
Just by looking at Gu Congyuan’s expression, Lu Yao knew exactly what he was thinking. For the sake of peace, she immediately withdrew her gaze from Jiangxiang and said no more.
As for A-San, his punch, carrying thousands of pounds of force, felt as if it had struck the vast ocean—leaving no trace and making no sound.
Sha Sha was actually more nervous than he was. If it exploded, she would have to reconsider how to lure the Hound Star people to Earth, and she wondered what Ma Jianguo and the others would think then.
"I..." Yelulan tried to speak, but she was firmly suppressed by the Demon Emperor’s power; how could she utter a word?
Before Chen Xuejiao could finish her sentence, I heard the crisp sound of a palm making contact with a face.
Sun Qinqiu, suddenly struck by his Dragon Roar, felt as if he had encountered a magnitude-nine earthquake; his feet were involuntarily lifted high into the air as he crashed to the ground. Looking around, Han Linghe, Ding Jiuyuan, Dugu Qiubai, Zeng She, and Xiu Changying were all knocked over. The square dance music was silenced, and the elderly women dancing were sent tumbling to the ground.
However, when the flames met his magical power, it was as if sparks had touched oil, instantly surging to a towering height.
I recall that two years ago, the daughter of the Yan family in Dragon City had fallen critically ill and her pulse had stopped, yet he managed to bring her back using his exclusive acupuncture techniques.
Her snow-white cheeks were flushed with passion, and her jade-like body glowed with a faint, rosy hue. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and the tip of her nose, and in the dim light of the unlit candles, her unique scent was intoxicating, as if beckoning him to take more.
Although Yaze is not my husband yet, I know he is striving to grow into that role.
In April, the cultivators of the Golden Tripod Sect arrived to purchase the current year's output from the Li family’s spirit fields. They also brought news that, due to a shortage of spirit grain, the Li family would continue to plant "Frost-Grass Wheat" instead of switching to other spirit seeds.
Until the final farewell to the body, I remained in a daze, feeling as if this were a nightmare and that perhaps, upon waking, Xie Caiping would rise again.
I was completely stunned by his final sentence, leaving my fried egg half-burnt. To have such confidence in one's own cooking despite that—where did this guy get his self-assurance?
Only by letting Sizhen hold the title of Feudatory Prince while leaving her with no real power, slowly hollowing out her influence, and waiting until the other three princes grew old and the influence of their descendants waned, could the world be pacified and the task of stripping the princes of their power be accomplished naturally.
"Hello, Doctor. Could you please take a good look and tell us how the child is doing?" Wan Zilin asked with a sweet smile, speaking to the doctor with great politeness.
Although I have traveled very, very far on the path of the blade, ultimately, the blade is merely an external object to me. It is myself that I need to make strong.
Lu Qingxu watched Gu Xu leave. Once his back disappeared from her sight, she lowered her head to look at the jade pendant.
"Let me be the one to deal with you, monster!" The Master of the Black Tortoise Gate’s gaze turned cold as he leaped into the air. Brilliant radiance erupted around his body; upon closer inspection, it even carried a hint of cultivation techniques.
Of course, the topography of the Zhaoxi Mountains, which occupy one-third of the Tianheng Continent, is extremely complex and diverse. It is divided into several main zones, and because the outer sect members typically operate in these areas to complete tasks issued by the Quest Hall, they are quite familiar with them.
But this is truly for the best; once Yeluo Yunhuang is convinced, Yeluo Hongrui will be able to play and relax more in the future.
Li Xia let out a long sigh, patted Shen Baiyu on the shoulder, forced a smile, and walked out first.
