44 Chapter 44

No matter how eloquently he spoke or how brilliantly he argued, his mother always seemed to find a way to leave him utterly speechless.

A faint, soft radiance filtered in, but it was neither sunlight nor moonlight, nor was there any glimpse of the sky to be seen.

Even if there were hidden trumpets left, if they weren't used right now, the opportunity would vanish immediately. Ning Que looked entirely prepared to finish the battle within the next minute.

The tree began to tremble as if caught in the midst of a violent storm. Dozens of birds on the branches chattered anxiously among themselves, completely bewildered by what was happening. The tree shook more and more violently, whipped by a gale-force wind. Together, the dozens of birds took flight, screaming as they lunged toward the nearest weeping willow and stretched out their necks to watch.

A tremendous roar erupted. The golden light resembled a colossal bell, and once I was sealed inside, my figure could no longer be seen.

The vicious dragon was bound by the golden ropes, yet it struggled incessantly. With every sway of its massive body, space shattered into pieces.

Watching him bow and scrape to offer apologies, Ren Qiuling felt deeply uneasy as well. This man lived a life that was far too exhausting and tragic. Yet, weren't all these circumstances brought about by his very own personality?

Lin Xiaonan opened the box and discovered inside a necklace adorned with a jade pendant. The necklace itself was nothing out of the ordinary, but the heart-shaped jade pendant possessed a green hue as vibrant as summer leaves, entirely free of impurities even under the bright lights.

This matter had now drawn to a close, and the crowd gradually dispersed, though the name Qiu Xuan was firmly etched in their minds. Such a figure could only be won over, never offended—this was the consensus shared by most.

Sharana truly dared not go too far with Director Luo, yet she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Refusing to lunge forward to attack and equally refusing to leave, she simply resorted to throwing a stubborn tantrum.

On the stage, it was already time for the judges' commentary, and the first to question Guo Xinyu was Li Sisi.

This imperial crown prince's consort was not only intelligent and resourceful, but also so well-mannered; she was truly a paragon of both virtue and talent.

Looking at the contract papers before him, Donald sat at his familiar workstation, still somewhat unable to snap back to reality.

Ling Xi abruptly stiffened, her mind buzzing with a chaotic roar as if something had exploded within it. Her complexion turned instantly pale, and a fierce surge of overwhelming fury abruptly welled up in her eyes.

Even though Wu Jianren had returned to the village over the past two years, the two of them had merely crossed paths a few times and exchanged a few words. They had never even spent a moment alone together, so how could anyone claim they were as inseparable as glue and lacquer?

Ever since they returned to the apartment yesterday right up until today, the two of them had practically never parted ways, sticking together constantly like conjoined twins.

To be able to abduct someone effortlessly without leaving the slightest trace—there was no one else with such capability except him.

As soon as those words fell, the three firefighters who had been standing right in front of them covered their mouths, but their trembling shoulders betrayed the fact that they were currently trying to suppress their laughter.

Hu Fangyu detailed how the pirates wreaked havoc across the Panyu region, went on to explain the situation regarding the Prince of Pingnan, and also relayed the request made by Zhang Qichao.

With so many refugees, there was no telling when such a grim situation might improve. Fortunately, however, Feng Junmo had arrived; otherwise, these refugees would undoubtedly have been doomed to a certain death.

"Elder Xiong, my Senior Sister knows how to refine alchemical pills that can help you restore your physical true body! Do not kill her!" Han Feng shouted anxiously as he lay on the ground.

"No matter what, this old man has no choice but to take things one step at a time," Nangong Ao said indhetically.

"You even know about the Divinity Transformation stage?!" Wang Xuan was not intimidated by the pirate's Divine Spear. Since it was merely of the Divinity Transformation stage, Wang Xuan did not hold it in particularly high regard. However, since the Pirate Emperor Alonso had truly reached the Divinity Transformation stage, he must certainly understand the classification methods of those weapons. Yet, did such classification methods even exist on Earth?

Hearing the noise, Su Lin instantly grew vigilant again. However, the next second, when he heard the familiar voice of Han Xiaoxiao deploying the police squad, he realized that this was no remnant of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, but rather the belated criminal investigation team.

"Where should I go to get it consecrated?" Yang Bo muttered to himself. While the formation looked neat and impressive, a troop that had never experienced actual combat would forever remain nothing more than an honor guard.

With a sinister chuckle, Qin directly blocked Yu's attempted escape route. Cracking his knuckles with a chilling sound, he cast a forced, unfriendly smile at Yu and said... To be continued.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Kiu had drained that Anbu operative's chakra and swiftly evaded the attack. Deprived of all chakra, the Anbu ninja's head tilted sideways, breathless.

They discovered that this was an entity far more powerful than ordinary demon hunters, possessing physical attributes that surpassed other species, and a limitless supply of magic power far exceeding that of church personnel.

This could be said to be the fruit of Han Xiaoxiao's research throughout the entire night. She had spent the whole night utterly baffled, completely unable to figure out what was actually going on.

However, this was not the only difficult problem facing Chen Xi. The very first moment he laid eyes on those pieces of furniture, he knew he was truly in trouble this time.

Upon hearing this, the bald-headed man was overjoyed. He never expected this pretty young lady to be so accommodating—it was just too damn fantastic.

After suffering a few violent impacts just moments ago, our car was already severely damaged. The sound of the engine distinctly carried a dying, wheezing tone, and the vehicle's speed also began to flag.

However, because each member of the family harbored their own unspoken thoughts, eating this meal felt like chewing on wax, completely devoid of the warmth and enjoyment a New Year's Eve dinner should possess. After finishing the meal, Gao Haoyu didn't even watch the gala and retreated straight to his room.

With no other choice, Midakang, dragging his lame leg, began to move with the support of a tree branch; he was going to retrieve the corpse of Brother Qian.

The entire production crew, including the staff and actors, numbered close to two hundred people. This mighty procession of two hundred people was now formed into two columns.

Long Wu glared unhappily at Yang Ren, thinking to herself, *Who on earth is your assistant?* Yet she kept her lips tightly sealed and said nothing.

The so-called Metaphysics Society was an organization similar to a guild, formed by various masters of metaphysics. Those permitted to join the society were individuals with genuine, solid expertise, vastly different from the street-corner charlatans.

Sensing Chai Yan's anger, Yang Xudong smiled warmly and said, "Come, come, President Chai, let's have another drink. What just happened was merely an interlude, and I hope it won't ruin our drinking session." With that, he drained his glass first, leaving Chai Yan sitting there alone.
