Chapter 58: Celebrating the New Year

Gao Ning first threw a punch in excitement, then suddenly seemed to remember something and froze slightly.

Connecting this with how his wound had healed previously without medical treatment, I guessed that all these bizarre occurrences were likely related to that stone plaque.

Kakasa held his breath, formed a hand seal, and suddenly executed the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique. He instantly saw the surrounding currents converge into the shape of a dragon and surge out of the water to draw attention.

Smyle wore a bewildered expression, looking regretfully at the figure's back while pondering inwardly.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?" Shen Ji opened his drowsy eyes, his magnetic and pleasant voice ringing out.

However, Berkeley's efforts were not entirely without progress; at least he had integrated the nation's financial system. Despite the other autonomous states remaining in a virtually semi-independent condition, their domestic and foreign banks still had to conduct their business within the borders of Jili through the central government's financial institutions.

Meanwhile, the other reporters looked backward with puzzled expressions and automatically cleared a path, as they saw that the person arriving was actually Zhao Shilian's father, which was Qiao Mu's grandfather.

A comical scene unfolded. Every minute or two, Xia Feng's room would echo with a violent asthma-like cough. Not long after the room finally quieted down, another series of coughing fits would erupt.

Thinking of me, a fresh wave of lingering fear gripped their hearts. This was a veritable fiend incarnate—he had single-handedly slain the prison boss Evil Ghost, then marshaled all his resources to shatter the engagement between the Su and Lu families. Upon reaching the City of Sin, he once again brutally slaughtered a regional overlord, Sawatadik. He was a truly ruthless character.

After all, as the most powerful nation among the Ten Southern States, aside from the Returning Origin Sect, the royal family of the Qin Kingdom also held a few quotas to participate in the alliance meeting.

Ouyang Cheng immediately switched to a smiling face. "How could I dare? I was just asking casually, hehe...!" Aside from uttering silly, nervous laughs, what else could he say?

Even if someone passed right beneath the towering ancient tree without stepping onto the trunk, they would undoubtedly fail to notice the unadorned black ring.

"Bonzi, are you treating us to late-night snacks tonight?" On the way back to the locker room, Brad Miller couldn't help teasing Bonzi Wells, as all three of his assists in the first half had gone to Bonzi Wells.

The Barefoot Immortal watched the direction of Yang Feng's flight, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face, because the direction Yang Feng was flying toward happened to be the one sealing off the Demon Domain. Flying any further would lead straight to the sealed barrier. This was practically a dead end with no way forward once entered.

Regarding Half-Blade Tu Xian and Lone Sword, Lin Feng followed Ice's suggestion: since the two possessed ability and showed loyalty, promoting them was not entirely out of the question.

The sphere was only about thirty feet away from Ling Feng, and the primordial energy generated by its peeling fragments was entirely absorbed by the vortex spinning above his head.

Xiao Chao's time was far too tight; he simply had no mind to spare for the Red Demon Snake Sage, nor did he have any idea what had happened after his departure.

First, according to Liu Jia's recollection, when she and Xiaoxiao came the day before yesterday, Wang Manli kept bragging at the counter about how wonderful the shop she recommended was! This indicated that it was Wang Manli who had recommended the place to Xiaoxiao.

After refining the world seed of a peak Marquis-level powerhouse for a full day, only a third of it had been refined, leaving Hong Yu deeply unsatisfied yet entirely helpless.

"Fine, you make the arrangements! You're paying for everything anyway!" Seeing that Ma Yang favored a peace-making attitude, Zhao Hua did not argue further. Although he strongly disapproved of resolving issues through negotiation, he did not want this matter to affect the bonds of brotherhood.

Driven to the brink of madness, the Japanese army captain ultimately had no choice but to order his troops to increase the intervals between their marching formations. This way, even if they encountered a similar ambush again, they would not suffer casualties as severe as before.

The photograph showed a man with prominent cheekbones, dark yellowish skin, and typical Southeast Asian features, with brown hair reaching his shoulders and bloodshot eyes. He gave off a crazed vibe and looked like someone not to be messed with.

"I must never interfere in this matter. If I take her, in the Emperor's eyes, the princess's words would represent my own, Li Jing's will. Once that happens, no matter what the princess says, the Emperor will refuse to listen. Only by going to see the Emperor alone at the risk of her death, combined with her Turkic identity, might she possibly move the Emperor."

Parked outside the entrance of the Heishanshan Town Hospital were two Jinbei HiAce vans from which over a dozen men disembarked. Leading them were a bald man in his thirties and a youth wearing an ear stud. At this moment, it was already past 8:00 PM.

Distracted for a moment, the Monkey King watched as Ziwei's sword suddenly transformed into a white beam of light, wrapping around Sun Wukong and vanishing right before their eyes.

Being suppressed here for nearly ten eons was far more agonizing than the tribulation suffered back at the Five Fingers Mountain. Fortunately, even while enduring the biting cold of the Netherworld, his mind had not shattered and remained remarkably steadfast.

Zuo Tongya's heart instantly ached as if pierced by ten thousand arrows. Previously, to avenge Zhang Junze, she had thought of cultivating herself to a higher level before seeking out a duel with Tang Lin. Yet deep down, a voice inside her had always warned her against doing this.

"What, what are you people trying to do? Stay back! Let me tell you, my connections reach the highest heavens! If you kill me, none of you will come to a good end!" Panic filled his face as he continued to bluster and shout.

Zhuang Yan did not know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xun in his arms holding a child's hand and gently stroking the child's head.

The executive officer shook his head helplessly, but did not refute Captain Wang's words. He had commanded these soldiers for a long time and naturally did not believe his own men were inferior to anyone else's.
