Volume One, Chapter 93: If She Dies...

“What’s there to analyze? You all know he has a fiancée. He’s been away on business lately and hasn’t called at all.”
The soldiers exchanged glances, then all let out a knowing “oh,” laughing and joking as they walked away.
Xu Kuan glanced at the half-closed office door of Yuan Yanzhou, feeling an inexplicable pang of envy. He turned with his teacup and entered his office.
In the past, whenever guests visited the family, though gifts were given to each house, the best ones always went to the children of the main branch, while the rest received second-best.
Zhou Song slapped his left cheek. He didn’t use much force, but it was harder than the blow he’d just received.
On the other side of the projection, the six “survivors” were all stunned. Zhu Jianye’s speech made them curse inwardly.
The old poisoner had harsher words ready to retort, but seeing He Sirong wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, he swallowed them instead.
Zhou Song remained silent, his hollow eyes drifting past the old poisoner’s shoulder, gazing into the deep, distant void.
After a round of polite greetings, Jiang Geng finally relaxed. As long as they weren’t the spoiled scions of the capital, that was enough.
Tan Yuesheng and Wu Jialan couldn’t sense Leng Qian or Ming Boxiqing, but the two spirit beasts could.
“We are one and the same.” Zhou Song ignored her, raised his gun, and aimed it at Tao Kun again.
“There’s no need to thank me. This is your reward for bringing me the sheepskin scroll,” Wei Yuanting replied with a gentle smile.
Is there really such a thing? Jingchu is quite resourceful—even a third leg can be used so flexibly.
Its form was human-like, dressed in a black, sleeveless robe, the edges blurred with a misty effect.
The outstretched arm showed no trace of burns; the skin was completely healed, a testament to its remarkable recovery.
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave when you see me? Could it be you’ve done something you shouldn’t have?” Luo Ning stepped out of the car, adopting an air of feigned innocence—see, I haven’t even done anything, yet you’re already so scared. How will you cope?
Jin Damin smiled, patted the other two on the shoulders, and gave them a look, as if to say, “Well, see? We’ve really found our lucky star, haven’t we?”
Countless greetings echoed in Chen Sheng’s ears. He simply nodded slightly, saying nothing.
It was precisely because of this that the An family was now at its peak. Rumor had it that when the An family first set out to sea, they encountered an immortal and learned the path to a fairy island.
Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, and the others hesitated as they stared at the fried locusts in their hands. When they set out, they’d vowed to try them, but now that the moment had come, they couldn’t bring themselves to take a bite.
Just as Dr. Xia had said, as long as this divine power was dealt with or hidden away, Xia Chuxia would be safe.
“What if I told you that I joined Penglai Jade Pure Temple precisely for this object?” Luo Yan said with a blank expression.
The tremendous force sent Jiang Yi stumbling back several steps. As soon as he regained his footing and tried to advance, Dian Wei hurled his halberd; it struck Jiang Yi squarely in the back. The tip pierced through, and in that moment, Jiang Yi lost all ability to fight back and collapsed to the ground.
A biting blade swept in with deadly force. Like a falcon, the youth kicked off the ground, flipping half a circle midair to narrowly dodge Zhuo Yucheng’s strike. As the falcon hung in midair, Zhuo Yucheng’s voice rang out, deep and commanding: “The Eight Wilds of Dao Qi!”
A sudden flash of cold light swept away the swirling black smoke, clearing the vision before them once more.
In the end, Debang Insurance was nothing more than a pig riding the winds of fortune. Now, facing the traditional insurance giants’ online offensive, they could barely keep up.
The boy’s parents and he himself were all spirit energy users. His starting point was higher than most. He had good grades, was diligent and hard-working, and—most importantly—Kane took a liking to him. With all these advantages, he was more than qualified to become a mage apprentice.
