Chapter 42

At first glance, that metallic palm looked precisely like a human skeleton's hand stripped of all skin and flesh.

Seeing Pei Jianhui torn between his desire to eat and his restraint, Second Sister-in-law Pei knew he was thinking that if he wouldn't get cooked rice for the next meal, he would eat a little less tonight and save some for tomorrow morning, so that at least he wouldn't feel hungry all morning.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth, mingled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees. Taking a deep breath, at that very moment, all troubles and worries melted away, leaving only a deep sense of reverence for nature in the heart.

After transforming into the form of a dog, Yang Tianji's presence vanished even more thoroughly than Mulima's. At a glance, he looked entirely like an ordinary, elderly dog with nothing extraordinary about him to set him apart from any other.

Every single move was aimed directly at the vital spots of this master, who ranked fifth on the Earth Fiend Leaderboard, targeting his face, ears, and chest.

From a slanted angle, a point of white brilliance shot forth. A black-robed priest flicked his finger, and a bone spike shot straight toward the diving gyrfalcon.

The natural sound of ice cracking is certainly pleasant to hear elsewhere, but hearing it here felt thoroughly ominous.

Though numbering only three hundred, the cavalry, once they charged, still sounded like rumbling thunder, causing the common folk of Chang'an to mistake it for a bolt of lightning from a clear sky. They hurried along with lowered heads, not daring to gaze upon imperial might.

Several times, Jia Xu could sense the edge of a blade brushing past his neck, as if it would claim his life the very next moment.

The reversal of Earth's magnetic poles. During the process of the North and South magnetic poles swapping, Earth's rotation gradually slowed down, tornado phenomena steadily increased, and the destructive power of the tornadoes grew stronger. Moreover, they always appeared suddenly with immense wind speeds, causing numerous buildings to be blown down.

"Very well! I will discuss with Captain He on how to establish such a mechanism to ensure that our sisters have no worries at home while fighting on the front lines!" Xiao Yunfei said with a smile, failing to notice Liu Qing.

Because no one could afford to buy it, and the discoverer was unwilling to sell it either, no matter the price offered. One can easily imagine the immense value of a top-grade peerless mountain ginseng.

"No need! Our company is holding a press conference tomorrow, and I truly have no time!" Xiao Yunfei was no fool; facing this vengeful, violent girl, if he didn't retaliate for this forced predicament, she wouldn't truly be Wei Lanying.

"Audacious! Do you know who I am? How dare you offend me? Believe it or not, I can make sure you never walk out of this forest alive!" Bai Ling shrieked, feeling as though twenty years of her dignity had been completely wiped out in this single moment, leaving her life plunged into total darkness.

Recalling the weapons and spearheads he had just seen, which bore a striking resemblance to the armaments of the Nanzhao soldiers he had once witnessed, he could not help feeling a twinge of doubt.

From then on, various divine gates, immortal gates, and religious sects sprang up everywhere, some even mingling in crude witchcraft, all with the sole purpose of swindling people out of their money.

Li Tianqi said, "Your King has fallen under some bewitchment... We shall find a way, but might we take a look at that pagoda first?" Although he knew Miaole was not speaking falsely, he still wanted to seize the opportunity to see what the pagoda described by the other party actually looked like.

Later on, the things he demanded became more numerous and frequent, coming every few days without fail, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to the benevolent and amiable Red Han who had originally helped people out of the goodness of his heart.

The migrant workers at the construction site were instantly stunned by Liu Qing's beauty and figure. They stopped their gambling and stared with wide eyes at Liu Qing, especially captivated by her alluring physique, which made their mouths water.

The scene was rather chaotic until Rachel finally went up to explain things, which calmed it down somewhat. However, the two sisters were currently sulking, refusing by any means to stay close to Ivy and Millie. What should be done now?

Zhao Si truly had no idea what Zhao Ji actually knew, but since the man was the emperor, when he spoke, one had no choice but to listen respectfully with bated breath. Thus, Zhao Si kept silent and waited for the emperor's profound discourse.

"You must be Ruirui. I always hear your uncle mention you. You entered university at fifteen and even got into Zhejiang University. That's fantastic!" Tu Hongyu was a teacher herself, so she naturally knew how difficult it was to get into Zhejiang University.

If Zhao Zhao were here, he would certainly remind Matcha that he had only promised Matcha that if he won first place, he would let him see Diana.

Coal Ball maintained its posture of crossing its paws over its chest and said, "A secret told to me by the black cats of the Panther Gang—turns out we orange cats, white cats, and black cats all have different ancestors."

Their sturdy physiques combined with sharp steel sabers instantly sliced through the natives' crude stone spears, knocking them down to the ground in just a few blows.

La He, standing alongside and right next to Rachel, couldn't help but retch slightly. As luck would have it, the lion-man heard it, frowned, and looked at La He with displeasure. At this single glance, drool began to drip from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this reaction, La He shuddered and shuffled back a few paces.

"Very well then! Let's continue with the second aspect you mentioned!" The emperor seemed to snap out of his reverie about the Earth being a sphere and returned to serious business.

"Father, now that I have passed the examination, may I join the army?" Wang He looked expectantly at Wang Lang.

A makeshift stage had already been set up on the vast plaza, adorned everywhere with Five-Star Red Flags. The entire decoration of the stage was dominated by a bright festive red, making it look quite joyous.

Rarely did she wear such an endearing expression. A thought stirred in Purple Wolf's mind, and with a sweep of his long arm, he pulled her straight into his embrace, startling Ran Qing so much that she forgot to struggle, staring at him in a daze while her hands were tightly grasped by his.
