Chapter 57
Zhou You's attention was entirely focused on the Chengni inkstone display cabinet, so he failed to notice anyone approaching. By the time he came to his senses, he began to size up the stranger: the person was impeccably dressed, exuding a sense of solemnity mixed with upright tranquility. Although not particularly imposing, his presence harmonized perfectly with the antique shop's atmosphere.
When only our people and a group of captives remained on the scene, my brothers began to clean up and organize the area.
Teacher Li saw the expression on Zhou You's face, feeling as though his heart had been pierced by a needle; the very thing he feared most had finally happened.
An Jing, holding flowers and gifts presented by her fans and surrounded by other players, walked out of the sports field. By then, she had taken a shower, changed her clothes, let her long hair flow down, and put on a large pair of black sunglasses, looking every bit like a top-tier celebrity.
However, when he caught sight of Amamiya Kotoyuki by Zhou You's side, he managed to restrain himself with some difficulty. He knew that Amamiya Kotoyuki was a business representative from a major Japanese fashion brand, and her sensitive status meant she could not be harmed; otherwise, even his own brother-in-law would not be able to protect him.
Before logging off for the night, Lily and Snow Sprite chatted a bit more to finalize the details of their respective gaming comrades joining the guild, and then logged off early.
People often say that after the storm comes the rainbow, and Tao Hua currently felt as though she were walking on a rainbow.
"What is it? Can't we talk about it here?" Prince Hao looked up at Huang Yiyi. He had originally intended to use the break between classes to pull Tao Hua aside and resolve the matter from this morning; he truly disliked this atmosphere of the cold war.
Before Tao Hua could finish speaking, Prince Hao pulled her into his arms and forcibly led her away.
Wanyan Liang had no way out by now; these Song people were completely unlike the timid and cowardly opponents he had imagined, and deserters in the military camp were increasing day by day.
Thud! A section of a log was tossed onto the ground with a heavy sound. Xia Qi let out a long breath, sat down on the log, and began to rest.
Liu Jiayi had not expected to run into He Chen in such a setting. Based on her understanding of He Chen, his family was not well-off at all, and he would never have been invited to attend such a grand gathering. Strictly speaking, even her own father was not qualified to come, and he had only managed to attend because his superior brought him along.
Mu Yun also took a fancy to this; after all, Sun Wukong only had seventy-two transformations, and Zhu Bajie only had a little over thirty.
Zhong Zhaohui had called them over in the first place simply to make them happy, because only when they were happy could results be produced.
The difference was that the person standing on Chai Zhengrui's left carried a peach-wood sword on his back, his eyebrows angled upwards like drawn swords, and his eyes blazing like stars.
As for the audience, upon hearing Ying Ruoxue confirm that there was indeed corruption behind the scenes, they instantly erupted in fury. Originally, they had only been speculating, but now it was a certainty.
On-lookers on the street invariably made this a topic of discussion, while those taverns and teahouses became the talk of the town for everyone over meals.
Watching her proud and angry back, Xi Mushen felt a slight sense of helplessness and stepped forward to follow her.
Shen Ping knew that A-list Hollywood stars commanded salaries numbering in the tens of millions. After making huge fortunes, when they sometimes did not know how to spend the money, they typically chose investments—real estate, art, stocks, and all sorts of other ventures.
However, those fighting the three-headed python did not notice that their numbers were dwindling, and the pressure they faced was growing increasingly severe.
Stephen smiled and accepted the domain of [Nature] into his body. Such a gift could be rejected if he so chose, given that he was also an entity who had analyzed divinity.
"Alright, everyone, let's go together and get to know this world first," Tom said with a smile, looking at the members assigned to his group who remained in place.
Glancing one last time at the chaotic square where a fierce battle was raging, Chen澈 reluctantly retreated into the main hall. Countless Zhefang people, driven by dignity and the will to survive, charged toward the invaders, regardless of what could or could not be seen.
Yet, compared to this one-sided situation, the expressions on the faces of the two individuals seemed to describe an entirely different scene.
The last task world was far too bizarre; she had translocated into a weak cannon-fodder character who possessed no abilities whatsoever and suffered from congenital heart disease.
Time passed slowly in the silence, and when the carriage stopped once more, it had already arrived at the gates of the Prince's Mansion.
Even in such a state, she could still spare the energy to discover this matter and cleverly scheme to get Nan Shu trending on search lists again. This time, she might as well just go along with her plan and let it play out.
It seemed that the Five-Ring Pagoda was concentrating its defense on these high-value areas, but the pterosaurs circling in the sky had significantly decreased in number, and a distant peak had already collapsed due to some external force.
The other party must have been recently signed by Duan Keyu's agency, as there had been no sign of any activity in the entertainment industry so far. However, after Nan Shu dug deeper into the investigation, she discovered an interesting detail.
"Explode!" Xie Yexue calmly pressed a blue button inside the control cabin, and the pitch-black flight wing exploded with a deafening roar the moment it collided with the White Knight.
Feng Tianming felt as though his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and his heart was filled with extreme annoyance and regret. No one knew the depth of Feng Tianming's remorse at that moment; if not for him, Long Feiyun would not have had to die, nor would all these subsequent events have occurred. In short, it was he himself who had ruined Long Feiyun!
Head Eunuch Li said, "I did think about it that way, but I haven't implemented it yet..." Before he could finish his sentence, the rat-like man threw a punch that landed squarely on Head Eunuch Li's temple. With a soft "squelch," Head Eunuch Li's skull was already shattered, his brains spilling forth.
