Chapter 49 Hospitality
With the arrival of the three, the large round table in the center of the hall was successively laden with delicious dishes. Li Zelin was invited to take the seat of honor.
"My dear nephew, this old man wants to thank you properly today. If not for your care all along the way, this old bag of bones of mine might never have seen this debt-collecting wretch again in this lifetime."
Li Zelin hurriedly stood up, saying, "Your nephew is unworthy of such praise. You are being too polite, esteemed uncle and in-law."
"Sit down quickly, nephew, sit down. My wife and I offer our sincere gratitude. Throughout my life, I have had four—"
Gradually, her tender skin began to crack, and bright red blood seeped from the fissures. Her snow-white garments were stained crimson. Cold sweat poured from her brow, yet she strongly suppressed the urge to cry out in pain, biting her red lips so hard with her silver teeth that they bled profusely, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
Jisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and swept his gaze across the birch trees one by one. There were at least tens of thousands of these birch trees, which meant they were transformed from tens of thousands of people.
Today, Lin Qinya visited once again, carrying a wooden box in her hand from which a faint, lingering fragrance drifted.
Yu Qiao and the others, who had remained suspended in mid-air, had heard every word of the conversation between the two. Their expressions varied, and they all seemed to have believed the Moon Goddess's words.
One must know that most of the contracted artists at Yu Entertainment hold only Class-C contracts. According to current records, the company has fewer than ten Class-A contracts, and many first-tier stars fail to secure one. This shows how absurd it is for an un-debuted newcomer to obtain a Class-B contract.
Originally intending to win through a human-wave tactic, he discovered that as the number of deaths increased, the character's initial attributes would decrease.
To his shock, the person before him was none other than Situ Lun. Moreover, his condition was extremely feeble; he had lost one arm, and blood was dripping endlessly. Yet he made no attempt to stop the bleeding, merely holding a flask of wine and pouring it continuously down his throat.
Urbanization refers to the process in which, along with regional economic development, the traditional agrarian-based rural social structure gradually transitions into an urbanized residential society dominated by non-agricultural industries such as manufacturing and services.
"Commander, if we keep accelerating like this, the engines are going to blow! We might as well decelerate and fight them to the death!" roared Oakley.
"Right!" At this moment, Xiulin felt an almost irresistible urge to bang his head against a wall. Since the lightning element had always resided within his own body, why on earth had he needed to depend on others and live in hiding?
"Weiguo, deliver this telegram to the Prince. He is still the imperial court's Minister of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. In addition, issue an order to the quartermaster of the cruiser fleet to immediately suspend all supplies to them. I refuse to believe I cannot bring him to heel," commanded Chen Ning.
Yet facing those incredibly sharp blood-jiao fangs, any energy attack was merely a wasteful depletion of true qi. His strength and speed completely crushed all opposition. At this moment, perhaps only by relying on the Xuanyuan Sword would there be a chance to turn the tide.
Hearing Sun Changjiang's words, Gu Anning suddenly felt a sense of insult. He hurriedly turned his head and cast a pleading gaze at Shi Daoran, hoping to hear a single affirmative word from his lips.
The police officer driving the vehicle leaned his head out and shouted at Wind Snake, "Where did this beggar come from? Are you trying to obstruct official business?" Hearing this made Wang Xuanlong's scalp tingle with numbness.
Naturally, from Zhang Lie's perspective, this was the immortal cultivation world's underground high-speed rail, a massive spiritual artifact known as the Earth-Piercing Shuttle.
"I know what I'm doing!" Niu Ao gave Cui Feng a deep look, stepped onto the stage, scooped up Xi Shiqing in his arms, and strode away.
Everyone was momentarily stunned, but the very next instant, they rushed into it one after another, as if fearing that Chen Yi, who had entered first, would monopolize the central suite all by himself.
Hearing this, the crowd was taken aback, and even Leng Jianfeng was stunned. Just a moment ago, he had been worrying whether Shi Yan was at Shaolin Temple, but now this Liaoming had blurted it out. Why? What was he plotting?
When I awoke, I saw her busy at work before the medicine stove. I asked her where this place was, and she replied that it was her dwelling, Peach Blossom Valley, and then informed me that I had been poisoned by the Zirou flower.
Yelü Chage's heart surged violently. His plan had progressed to this stage, with only one final step remaining, yet uttering these words himself would inevitably arouse suspicion.
