Chapter 48: Kali
Ye Qingqing was extremely shy, lowering her head with a secret smile, remaining silent, and even on the verge of tears.
As the armed guards steadily approached, just as Lucien was about to make his move, several guards suddenly spun in the air like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground. Within a few rounds, all the guards were incapacitated.
Watching Ye Chen and Chen Yanliu depart separately, Yun Qianrou crouched in place feeling rather useless. Unlike Chen Yanliu, who possessed genuine skills, she could only obediently avoid causing trouble.
“What do you intend to do? You must understand how much your grandmother values Yun Xi; eyes are watching both inside and outside the mansion!” Shu Mulu said, pulling Yun Qi to sit on the kang by the side.
Fate knew the origin of the Underworld and was aware of the will within it, so it never considered interference. In past lives, both Ni Ming and the young man had fought fiercely, nearly overturning the entire Underworld. Now, with a new arrival, it was truly a headache.
However, because Arhat’s frontline engagement and Yun Qi’s selection matters were pressing, no one noticed Yun Xi’s transformation. Not even the shadow-like figure she once was had begun to step gradually into the light.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Xu Nuo smiled. If it weren’t for the car being parked at Lu Yanming’s company, she wouldn’t have bothered asking for help.
From then on, Wang Lang blended into the motorcade, driving alongside the car carrying Uncle Qin, steadily heading toward the British Concession.
Who would have expected that the child’s first act of stubbornness in life was to stubbornly hold onto her honor, dignity, and life?
It was precisely because of this deep awareness that Zhong Shuo still chose to let Zhong Ling freely interact with Ye Chen—not to compete with Dongfang Ziyan for him, but for a better reason.
“The production company is currently negotiating the contract with Zhou Yu, the owner of the Divine Dog. Please await the official announcement after signing,” Brad openly disclosed the news.

Such laws are the most terrifying; once unleashed, the opponent faces a calamity hard to escape, forced to endure passively. Lin Hao couldn’t quite describe the nature of the aurora at this moment—never before had he seen or heard of an aurora that absorbed calamity energy.
Yet, no matter how vast the universe, without her, where could he call home? The ancients said, “Where the heart rests peacefully is home,” but after losing her, how could his heart find true tranquility?
The door wouldn’t open, but the dragon’s blood flowed freely as if without cost. Su Bai squatted down, licking the dragon’s blood off the steps. Meanwhile, the surrounding dragon blood energy transformed into clusters of black light, actively merging into Su Bai’s body.
“This ring is something I acquired; you may leave, but the ring must stay.” Lin Hao spoke candidly. It was a vice-royal artifact of the Primordial Divine Emperor, undoubtedly powerful. As they were about to proceed to the Extreme Ice Imperial Palace, possessing it provided greater assurance.
The Qinzhou Public Security Bureau promptly reported to superiors and agreed to his request, sending some clear photos via computer.
She thought this as she sipped her soup, seemingly glimpsing the once-beautiful homeland before the psychedelic mushrooms took effect.
Now, hearing Lin Youde speak, it was clear that this involved something that even moved the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
A thunder curtain sealed the surroundings; sacrificial intruders frozen momentarily under the lightning’s glow.
Teacher Jason was about to call her back but was silenced by the thunderous slam of the door.
Pei Tianci had likely rushed to Nancheng to find her. After leaving the ward, he never appeared again, leaving Assistant Fang in the ward to stand by, ready to serve diligently.
Ahead was a spacious square, crowded mostly with tourists. Several cars were parked there; Lan Wei planned to drive there to park, going with the flow—where the cars were most numerous was the best place to park when in a tight spot.

Sergeant Li was injured. Though doctors operated on him at the time, the surgery was rough and purely emergency; nothing was truly addressed, causing further harm to Old Li.
Just as he was about to catch his breath, suddenly recalling something, he dashed madly to the side.
Qin Chen grew increasingly anxious, utterly unwilling to show leniency toward the academy students, venting all his anger.
At this thought, Song Qingxiao suddenly felt a sense of clarity. Facing the aggressive Zheng Wan’er, she no longer felt as angry as before.
The mercenary leader crammed into another car turned pale, wrapping his wound with bandages.
As for his sudden return to normal after the intense pain, Jiang Xia could roughly deduce it was related to what he had eaten. Thus, he recalled what he consumed moments earlier.
She only realized after watching Carlo’s brilliant performance at the press conference that this man had been secretly betraying her sister, trying to ruin her reputation and future.
Fairy Cang Yue’s beautiful eyes rippled as she looked at Yang Tian, her face veiled lightly, brows knitted with worry.
What especially impressed Li Tianyi was that Zhao Zhijian was clearly a man with personal ambitions, particularly skilled in political maneuvering. This was evident from how Zhao’s commands were followed unquestioningly across various government agencies in Nanping City.
