Chapter 58: Strike While He’s Down

When Xiao Se met Zhou Lichun for the first time, he hadn't expected her to be such a stunning beauty, and his attitude changed immediately.

"Xingmei, there's no need to be so angry. There must be some kind of misunderstanding between you two."

Ye Xingmei could hardly believe her ears. "She sent people to kill my whole family—do you call that a misunderstanding?"

Zhou Lichun hurried to defend herself...

"Hong Sanqiang, you did well today, but next time don't go so overboard. Give a more natural performance, understand?" The instructor spoke as he ladled out two full bowls of porridge for him.

The next words were meant for Scarlett, who, hearing the request, broke into a warm, enthusiastic smile. Not only did she wave off Peter Pan, who had taken up a large space, but she also beckoned Chen Xi to come sit down.

"Thank you!" Seto Nanaya's whole aim was to get this pass; otherwise, with the dozen or so checkpoints set up by Moonshadow Village along the way, getting through each one would have taken far too much time.

"Aoi, what did that handsome guy say to you? Come on, satisfy my curiosity just a little!" Even after returning to the castle, Fu's curiosity was far from sated.

The Void Hexagonal Shuttle was itself a treasure capable of shattering the void, once a family heirloom of the Eastern clan. It was a formidable tool for breaking through barriers. Truly, it was as if a pillow had been delivered to someone who needed a nap. Who would have thought that just as she was about to leave, she would run into Mota?

Before the Champions League began, there was still a Premier League match. Qiongke didn't need to travel with the team for the away game; his red card suspension was automatically in effect, and even if Chelsea appealed, they could only cancel the additional penalties.

Yang Bo gazed at the bustling scene of labor, but his thoughts had already wandered far away. He was considering whether the time had come to form a salt protection squad.

Shi Qing frowned slightly, hesitated a moment, then composed himself and called over Zuo Jingting. "Take some men and bring Shi Qi's family back for questioning, then..." He did not finish his sentence, but his eyes were icy cold.

Qin Tian, having been thoroughly teased, glared furiously at Thomas, hefted his now-heavier spear, and once more rained blows down upon him. If he couldn't bear it, then he simply wouldn't. Of course, just because he refused to endure didn't mean he wouldn't use some tricks—Qin Tian had never claimed otherwise.

"Hahaha, Duobao, these two spirit treasures are all we possess. Over countless years, we've long since mastered every feature and weakness they have. Using them against us? It's laughable! That's like brandishing a broadsword in front of Guan Yu—you've picked the wrong opponent. Hahaha!"

Moonshadow was certainly not someone willing to die for nothing. To risk her life just for a breakthrough was out of the question. The only reason she dared to take Chi Qu's thunderous, violent palm strike was because, after coughing blood, she had sensed the power of the Black Fiend.

The Artifact Refining Sect, unlike the Pill Sect, did not strictly inspect those entering. There were no wanted posters from the Pill Sect on the city gates, and the group entered the city easily, encountering no searches.

At this moment, Liao Xi's face was noticeably more stubbled. Though it gave him a more rugged look, he was still young, but a certain air of maturity now clung to him. Suddenly, someone patted him on the back and said, "Grand Tutor." Liao Xi turned to look.

Song Weili had been troubled for days, but the day had come at last. He arrived early at Zhuang Hongtian's residence. He would never let Gu Meng marry someone else; though he hadn't decided what to do yet, he knew one thing for certain: he would not let them be together.

Guo Yunshen hailed from Mazhuang, Shen County, in Zhili. His family was not wealthy, but he earned his living through hard work and sought out renowned teachers far and wide. Upon hearing of Master Liu Xiaolan's reputation, he traveled to Xiling in Yizhou to study under him, and also apprenticed himself to Master Sun Tingli to learn Bajiquan. He lived with Master Liu Xiaolan, and thus they became "record brothers" in the Bajiquan lineage.
