Chapter 31: Sang Biao, the Talkative Tabby Cat

"I have great faith in your abilities. How is the progress on the item I requested?" Fang Cheng asked calmly, pouring himself a drink.

A means of life preservation—most genius disciples in the Immortal Realm carry one, never to be activated unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, a day later, just past morning, the Dragon family's hostel in Daxing City was already buzzing with activity.

Yuqing cared nothing for Cangyun’s growth and was about to exert more force to suppress him completely when a flash of light appeared in the sky. Su Murong had returned to the fray, the ribbons behind her back erupting with demonic energy and malice, propelling her forward as she charged at the Primordial Heavenly Lord without a word.

Thus, this ambiguous relationship continued from the Cloud Kingdom all the way to the capital, Yun Jing, only for the conflict to erupt after the incident involving Su Su.

However, they never imagined that they would inadvertently draw out the Great Elder—the true boss behind the scenes.

The Clan Leader slapped the Terminator. Green light flickered in the Terminator's eyes as a holographic projection appeared above its elongated head.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that Old Chen hung up the phone, having other work to arrange.

"Then I’m in for a treat!" Xu San walked over and picked up his chopsticks, but just as he was about to eat, Old Hu stopped him.

"You are too kind, Sect Master. It is my honor to do what I can for the sect," Pan Fu said sincerely.

"Zhou Yun, how dare you strike me? You are truly courting death. Do you know who I am? Do you know who I work for?" The man remained defiant, shouting at Zhou Yun instead.

After the banquet concluded smoothly, Chu Nan was the first to leave, and Gongsun Yuyan followed shortly after in Winter's car.

"Return my treasure and I might spare your miserable life; otherwise, the entire Universe Sect will never let you go!" Wu Tianzi roared at the sky, his aura surging recklessly, attacking even more fiercely than he had against the old eunuch moments before.

Moreover, as Uncle Tang continued the autopsy, he discovered that not only the esophagus but the stomach and the entire lung lobes of the victim were filled with this divine earth mineral. Furthermore, white matter of the same kind permeated his blood vessels and muscle tissue.

Winter naturally did not know what Gongsun Yuyan was planning, and seeing her act this way, his mood soured to the extreme. In fact, for a fleeting moment, he even felt the impulse to use force and take this great beauty right then and there.

The value of Focus Media was impossible for Zhang Xuebin to estimate, but becoming a billionaire through this project would not be difficult. He suddenly recalled that Gu Bei had mentioned giving him a 3% stake in Anran Media some time ago. At the time, he hadn't taken it to heart, as he was unclear about the future direction of Anran Media.

Using blood as a seal, the Lone Wolf’s body surged with supreme aura; the surrounding energy trembled, and the air itself seemed to bow in reverence.

Li Yu instantly activated the stellar spiritual essence within five hundred billion cells. Almost simultaneously, he struck out with his sword—the Star Master’s Rapid Sword Technique! The potent stellar spiritual energy, accompanied by hundreds of sword qi manifestations, slammed into the purple flames. In an instant, the sword qi shattered, and the purple flames collapsed.

Hearing Jiang Che mention Taoist arts, Yang Bo immediately thought of the four characters he had seen a few days prior: "Surging Waves Overwhelming the Heavens." Could that be what Jiang Che was referring to?

"Minister Zhang, I wonder where this talk of 'frivolity' comes from?" It was Zhang Qiguang who spoke. Everyone knew he was pushing for Gu Bei to win the bid, and he made no attempt to avoid the appearance of bias.

Aside from Old Long’s family, those present were elderly, former colleagues of his.

His beige suit looked rumpled, the hem and collar no longer as crisp or stiff as they once were.

"My father is back? Where? Why can't I see him?" Yang Daming looked up abruptly, scanning his surroundings with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Each sound was like a funeral dirge on the battlefield, the clarion call of those about to perish alongside their enemies.

On the way to Lou Asi’s place, Director Gu bought a pound of chicken cake and a pound of peach shortbread at a pastry shop.

An Xin breathed for a long time before she could slowly calm her emotions. In truth, it wasn't just her waist that was in agony; she had also lost a lot of hair during the struggle, which was particularly painful.

She looked at Huo Mingjue, her heart rate accelerating suddenly. An Xin did not know why she had asked Huo Mingjue such a misleading question.

"That’s not something you need to worry about!" Han Ziyan patted the back of Xu Yu’s hand, giving her a meaningful look.

Monkey Four was blunt: "Yes, it’s simple. But you must agree to one condition. Otherwise, even if you draw out my soul and refine my spirit, I won't do it." Having said that, he stared cunningly at Yang Houtu and fell silent.

An Xin simply smiled at Huo Mingjue. She said nothing, as if she felt that no amount of words could compare to the simplicity of her current smile.

After staying a little longer, it would be time for dinner. She didn't particularly enjoy eating with people she wasn't familiar with, even though she and Madam Chu got along quite well.

That was a rebounding plate specially crafted for them by Aslan, capable of easily deflecting shots from any rifle used during the Second World War.

Shi Nian was now convinced that Shi Fei was not lying. Besides, while it is often said that celebrities look worse in person, she was somewhat surprised by how good Shi Fei looked even without makeup.

She pushed her assistant away forcefully. The assistant, caught off guard, fell to the side, scraping her palms.

Although he knew roughly what had happened that year, Xiao Yuchen had hidden too much. Even if he wanted to investigate, he wouldn't be able to find anything.

The imagery froze on the faces of individual orphans—some showing rage, some resentment, some smiling, others weeping.

Two minutes passed, and there was still no sign of the corner. Zhao Feiji couldn't help but rub his eyes. Did I misread the path?

Tutai smiled, saying that if the enemy stayed hidden in the shadows, it would be troublesome, but now that they had shown themselves, they were much easier to handle—at least there was no need to constantly guard against sneak attacks.

Beyond just increasing manpower, he felt that even if he lacked strength, he held power, and sooner or later, he would climb to the top.

In that moment, Su Yang’s body trembled slightly. This kiss, as light as a feather, caused him to surrender once again. He should have known long ago that she would never leave him.

"I, I don't know." Wu Hai gasped for air, his speech fragmented. Because of the pain, he was no longer capable of continuous or logical thought.
