Chapter 38 (Part 1)

"If you wish to stop me, then try." Annelotte walked out of the prison entrance, scanned the mages present, and then bowed, performing the traditional mage's salute of a formal duel.

Ghost-Faced Ancient Jade had intended to take a second sip of tea. He did taste the tea, but the water went down the wrong pipe instead. "Cough, cough, cough..." How was he childish? He had finally managed to see such a look of astonished adoration in this girl's eyes and wanted to thoroughly enjoy it, only to be called childish instead.

Holding her mobile phone with a look of doubt and suspicion, she looked through the glass at Cheng Jin, who always wore a stern expression inside.

At that time, Cheng Jin was already enduring intense mental torture. If he had gone another minute without receiving any news of Cheng Nian, he would have issued orders to the thousands of employees in his company to search the entire city.

However, those magic wolves grew restless at Yefeng's roar. Their attacks were no longer as orderly and sharp as they had been at the beginning; some even lay prone on the ground, trembling and rolling around continuously, looking extremely painful and terrified.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shitong continued to stare fixedly at Li Hai without blinking, until the latter raised his fist slightly before speaking earnestly: "You've changed!"

Later on, Koldark defeated Rondo in a head-to-head trial of martial skill and even took a blow for Rondo on the battlefield. These cumulative drops of devotion ultimately made Rondo, a man of straightforward and fiery temperament, pledge his unwavering loyalty to Koldark.

With that, the God of Light waved his right hand, and an off-white halo of light floated and drifted slowly around the purple-flame helmet toward Yaxue's front.

Seeing those several wrinkles etched into his bright and sunny face, Su Ruoyao felt unhappy in her heart as well: Although he was practically flawless from every angle, he always looked best when he was smiling.

Cheng Jin could tell that this voice was filled with pleading and timidity; the child was afraid of him, and he knew this.

"No, it doesn't hurt at all. After you cried out like that, it feels very comfortable." Zhao Guodong closed his eyes, tears welling at the corners of his eyes while a smile curved his lips. This single cry of "Dad Guodong" left Zhao Guodong with not a single regret in this lifetime.

He felt a breath blowing against his neck—cool and carrying a faint, fishy sweetness.

Constable Cai took a sip of tea and said, "This tea is quite good. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to drink it again in the future."

On this day, Zhao Guodong finally touched a gun, taking his first step in the direction he had chosen.

Feng Qingyang recounted the scene he had encountered earlier to the others, causing their brows to furrow deeply as they remained momentarily at a loss for the exact cause.

"Haha." Shen Yaxi looked up and laughed heartily. Regaining her composure, she walked with light footsteps right up to Lord Anyu, stopping very close to him.

Inside the inner room, Xuanming sat on the bed, having removed his close-fitting clothes to reveal the skin of his upper body. His bronze-colored skin was healthy and taut, sheathing his well-built muscles and making him appear all the more alluring. Several rounds of bandages were wrapped around his sturdy abdomen, stained with patches of mottled blood. He was injured.

I collapsed limply onto the ground. Even Shen Yu refused to help me. What should I do? What on earth should I do?

With the handover complete, the host led the newly introduced Zhan Men and IF team members into their respective operation rooms.

Seeing Chen Tong charging toward her, Jin Se rolled over to evade his attack, only to realize that Zhongli Shuo—whom she had been gripping—had been immobilized by a pressure-point strike, leaving his entire body rigid and completely unable to move a fraction. At that moment, Chen Tong's sword tip was already right before her eyes. Instinctively letting go of Zhongli Shuo, she blocked the thrust with her dagger.

As the dust dancing all over the sky dispersed, a dust-covered golden dragon crawled out from the deep pit. Many of the scales on its entire body had fallen off, and it was covered in crisscrossing wounds. Its blood-stained appearance made it look extremely disheveled.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Gu Qingnian was true to her word. When the labor contractions grew increasingly distinct and painful, she took advantage of a pain-free interval to give herself two acupuncture needles for relief.

Glancing around to the left and right, she rose, walked to the window sill on her left hand, and looked down somewhat boredly at the street below.

At that moment, Sikong Ze, whose heart was filled with extreme anguish, was enveloped in a vicious and sinister aura. The gaze he cast at Lin Xia was as fierce as if he intended to tear her apart with his teeth.

To be blatantly and publicly humiliated in front of a large crowd—how could the proud and haughty Danyun Sect possibly swallow this insult?

Lin Feng took a few steps back. The stairway was filled with so many zombies; without an indestructible body, even having an AK-47 meant certain death. There was simply no way to break through.

Many insects are good things. Humans might eat few of them, but spirits eat plenty, and Hu Guangyu relished them.

Lin Feng had long since guarded against this move of his. Did they still think he, Lin Feng, was someone who could be played around with like before?

"Aunt Yan!" Lou Guijing revealed his displeasure. She was actually going to disregard his presence and directly attempt to strike Yun Xi?

At the thought of this, Li Mu's heart surged with excitement, and he wished he could personally head to the airport to apprehend the Emperor of Qin.

Yet, judging by General Wei's demeanor, he seemed to be an upright man. If Wen Tingyuan were not someone personally related to him, he likely wouldn't rest easy letting Qiao Yuyan be taken away by him.

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao flew into a rage and raised her foot to kick the boy, but the latter showed foresight and bolted away in a flash after tossing out those words.

Originally, Wang Bowen had pulled Zhou Tao into the circle of modified car racing, but later on, Zhou Tao's driving skills continuously improved.

Knowing that Xu Damao would bootlick superiors indiscriminately regardless of the occasion or his own circumstances, He Yuzhu calmly awaited the golden opportunity when Xu Damao would get so drunk he'd experience a "memory blackout."

Seeing that figure filling the entire cavern, the player finally recalled the terror of being dominated by the giant bear that day. It was a five-meter-tall giant bear that had wandered in from parts unknown, slaughtered the unarmed Kobolds, and then vanished into the forest.

Not knowing how to comfort her own heart—things had already reached this point, was there any need to resist?

However, make no mistake: although Xiao Fei and Li Qingyue slept on the same bed, it was purely a platonic sleep.

Yu Haitang? Oh. The factory belle was actually getting cozy with Ma Hua, and rumors of their impending marriage were even circulating. If Xu Damao wanted to wedge himself in between them now, it was completely impossible. Because the two of them being together, much like Liu Lan and Yang Weimin being close, was under the arrangement and protection of the organization.
