Volume 1, Chapter 28: It Was Alum After All, You Are Unworthy

The music on the dance floor swelled once more, its intense rhythm striking a chord with the crowd. Everyone was waiting for Ye Lin’s performance. With his back against the wall, Ye Lin had no choice but to go through with it, so he decided to be direct. He opened the bag of white powder he was holding, dipped a finger in, and tasted a tiny amount. The man opposite him visibly relaxed.

However, Ye Lin frowned. He scooped up a larger portion of the powder and shoved it into his mouth. His expression shifted violently, and he spat it out with a series of hacking noises. He then slammed his foot against the table in the center, making it creak loudly. "What is the meaning of this, Mad Face? Do you think I can't tell when you're selling fake goods?"

Jiang Feng sighed in admiration, "You are truly intelligent. Don't worry, I won't strip you of that intelligence; you will remain yourself."

Although the Bounty Hunter Alliance existed as an organization, it was relatively loose. It imposed no real restrictions on the hunters, serving primarily to provide them with various services. Upon hearing Tang Zhe’s words, Uncle Kang finally noticed Ye Xiu’s condition. His eyes filled with surprise; unlike Tang Zhe, he had personally arrived at the scene and caught a glimpse of the severity of Ye Xiu’s injuries.

"My name is Qin Zhao, and I really am a celebrity. Why don't you believe me? I'm so famous, how can you not know who I am?" Qin Zhao felt speechless. He had at least ten to twenty million fans by now; how could she possibly not recognize him? Was he really not that famous?

Li Banxia stood stiffly. Under the curious gazes of her teammates—especially Mu Jin and Zhao Linlin—she shrank behind Lin Sangbai, tugging at the hem of his shirt as she shuffled toward the wooden cabin in the base.

"Senior Fox Sovereign, I have crossed blades with him and severed his arms twice. I believe I still have the strength to fight him."

Those who awaken spatial abilities are one in a million; once awakened, they are considered precious treasures. Even if they lack offensive capabilities, they are usually masters of evasion.

Far away in East China, the Fu Sect was silent, completely devoid of the arrogant clamor that had accompanied their conquest of Saint Snow Peak.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang. We respect every opponent. As long as he earns our recognition, we will accept him as our minister," Rat replied, and the others nodded in agreement.

Luo Changfeng might still have harbored a sliver of curiosity and doubt deep down, but his broken body no longer allowed for such luxurious expectations. He did not want to know anything more.

Qiao Yi leaned against Tang Xin, looking blissful, but her expression soured the moment two middle-aged men blocked their path.

Following Bai Changfeng’s instruction, Ling Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, and Bai Changfeng did the same opposite him. Once they were settled, Bai Changfeng placed the wooden box between them and opened it with a flick of his hand.

Furthermore, there was no rain in the Beizhili region, or even across Henan, Gansu, and Shanxi.

Ye Chu remembered now. When she was sixteen, a classmate told her about a newly opened café. She had specifically rushed over to order a cake, hoping to bring it home for her mother to taste.

If a common servant had come to inquire, the guards would have dismissed them. But since Yu Xiancong had returned to ask for guidance, it was clear that the visitor must have had status.

Ye Tianzong was currently in Riyadh, studying medicine and learning under Bai Ye. After receiving the fax, Bai Ye handed Ye Tianzong over to Diana, and he and Su Man rushed to Qianyun Island overnight. Lin Lin was trapped in a deep, coma-like sleep, her vital signs fading. Mo Ye also recalled Mo Chen and the baby, just in case.

Tang Xin felt a mix of laughter and frustration. He had intended to get a good night's sleep; from the time he ate that afternoon until he entered his bedroom, he had made no agreements with anyone, nor had he exchanged any secret glances or hints.

Old Tang, the Eternal Dragon, and the Scourge of the Undead formed a concentric circle. At the center were Old Tang and Arthas, and while hundreds of Eternal Dragonkin surrounded the two dueling figures, they were simultaneously being encircled by an overwhelming tide of walking corpses.

Following that declaration of "I don't think much of you," he stumbled backward, his hands gripping the edge of the table tightly to keep from collapsing.

The head of the Xie family grew anxious; even though he was bedridden and unable to move, he repeatedly sent people to find Xie San.

She shifted her gaze and saw a pair of rare-colored eyes. In the light of the carriage, they shimmered with the exquisite hue of a deep purple sapphire.

"Why has it been so long?" Gu Jinzhi muttered. She called Haitang and told her, "Go out and give orders for Shi Cang to take some men and look for them. If there are still patients waiting, keep them there; if they are just sitting around idle, tell the eldest young master and Mr. Lin to come back for dinner."

Miss Ping stood dazed for a long while before suddenly turning to glare at Chu Liuxiang with murderous intent. She slowly pulled a dagger from her robes. Just as she was about to strike, Chu Liuxiang’s body moved like a snake, twisting and turning until he had slipped out of his bindings and stood directly before her.

This roar left the City Lord of Tianxing stunned, but no more so than Ye Tianxie himself.

The "body cultivation" method that Lu Xuan had realized from the "Taiyi Ancient Manual" was, in short, a first step of utilizing the immense pressure of the deep sea to alter one's constitution.

"Is this the way to the Lin family estate?" Yin Zizhang walked a short distance before realizing the direction was wrong, his face darkening instantly.

"What is it?" Jiang Xin asked Gu Jinzhi. "My father and brothers are not home, and I cannot go out on my own; my capabilities are limited."

I had knocked down two men, but more were rushing toward me. A faint, cold smile played on my lips as the violent instincts in my blood began to surge. I could no longer care about my resolution to be a law-abiding person; only one word remained in my mind now.

"By the way, Xue'er, you must have seen the attributes of the Heavenly Charm Cherry Blossom after picking it, right? What does it do?" Ye Tianxie asked casually while eating.

After a long while, Tang Xiaoru finally stopped retching. Gasping for air, she turned and collapsed onto the floor, sitting with her back on the ground. She looked at me with drunken eyes, breathing heavily.

Zhou Xueli slowly straightened her back, rubbed her aching palm, and asked with a cold, clear expression.

Shi Min had wanted to explain, but in the end, she remained silent, listening quietly. She touched her injured knee; she had only been startled, but she had actually been hurt. The difference was significant. Forget it, forget it—it wasn't like she was meeting them for the first time; there was no need to say anything more.
