Xie Wuji’s eyes flashed even more brightly as he watched Yu Lianzhou’s every move, scarcely daring to breathe for fear of missing the slightest detail.
The bronze door had never been fully closed; it was merely ajar. Every draft of cold air within the cavern came through it.
“My name is Han Jiamei. I’m not some angelic older sister. To be honest, your technique for picking up girls is pretty terrible!” Han Jiamei said.
At two in the afternoon, in a café on the outskirts of Yanjing, two grown men, Li Yongle and Qin Ming, sat facing each other.
“This…” Xie Wuji felt a secret thrill. This was precisely the purpose of his journey, yet he showed nothing on his face, merely hesitating and falling silent in feigned contemplation. If he agreed too readily, the two men might grow suspicious.
Seeing the lecherous expression on Lin Chen’s face, Wang Zixuan and the others, who knew him well, all looked at him with contempt.
Watching those powerful figures who had stood before him only moments ago vanish into thin air in an instant was utterly shocking.
“Put up with it. Who told you to be my personal bodyguard? Once Uncle Li’s men arrive, you can act as the driver!” Li Yongle curled her lips and walked toward the hotel lobby.
Although Lin Chen could be irritatingly shameless at times, she would never believe he was capable of rape and murder, not even if she were beaten to death.
Liu Qiang merely cheated tourists who knew nothing about the trade. If he encountered an expert, he would certainly reveal the flaws in his scheme.
“Why should I? If I refuse to call you that, what can you do to me? What, are you thinking of killing me?” Yun Suxue shrieked. She could no longer worry about anything else. She had only one thought: she would not bark like a dog. She absolutely would not.
Just as Gu Linger thought of this, Long Linfei had already placed her on Long Tianchen’s bed and pulled off her shoes.
“Yes, it’s been several days. He said he went to inspect a project, but who knows what he’s really been doing?” Nie Wanluo complained, though the happiness on her face was impossible to conceal.

“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed it too. Indeed, given the flavor of this meat, it ought to attract countless repeat customers. In that case, this restaurant shouldn’t be only this large, and the number of people here happens to match its capacity exactly. That really is a strange phenomenon.” Na Tie spoke thoughtfully.
I looked at him, feeling inexplicably distressed. After hesitating for a moment, I sat up, picked up the newspaper I had set aside, and handed it to him.
So when Xiaoxi asked me to help her find a job, I did not hesitate to keep her by my side. I had no ulterior motives toward her; I simply wanted to protect her and keep her from suffering any harm.
He meant to express his displeasure. Though this girl was not as infuriating as Tangtang had once been, she still managed to annoy him.
The crowd was utterly shaken. Their hearts and guts turned cold, their expressions shifting uncertainly as terror reached its peak.
The millstone began to turn, swallowing the heavens and earth and grinding everything to pieces. Chaos poured from the enormous millstone like a waterfall, obliterating the world that had just been created. Ancestor Crocodile let out repeated screams within it as demon blood streamed from his body.
The reason she had not brought them along was simply that a larger group would more easily attract the attention of other factions. This time, she was entering the main city and did not wish to draw much notice.
After Gu Liuxi went down, she found the cavern where she had lived by following her memories. It was already dilapidated, filled with dust and spiderwebs. Clearly, no one had lived there for a very long time.
As a martial arts student, Lin Dong naturally possessed his own pride. Because of that pride, he believed that no one else had the right to interfere with the girl he had set his sights on.
An Qianqian could only shed tears, unable to say a word. She felt utterly wronged, but she also knew that regarding Liang Jingjun’s contempt for her, she could speak of it only to her own mother. There was no way she could tell an outsider.
“You beast, Yu Fei!” Tian Shaoming rushed forward, pulled his mother behind him, and shielded her with his own body. Then he turned to face the man called Yu Fei.
Just as the magical formation was about to descend over Lord Bao, a streak of flowing light flashed past. Zhan Ruowan arrived in time and stood before Lord Bao, using her divine skill to disperse the formation. Yet with her abilities, how could she possibly defeat Miao Ruolan?
She knew that Shi Zhen was in Madam Murong’s hands. She simply had not expected Madam Murong to make her eat breakfast together with Shi Zhen.

It was a crude room, clearly not part of the Shi household. Since waking, she had seen no one come in. She only remembered seeing Shi Jingyun’s face before she lost consciousness, which was why she concluded that she had fallen into his hands.
The moment Xiao Tian’s murderous gaze met his, Zhuo Tai shuddered violently. A bone-chilling tremor seized him, and he instinctively retreated two steps.
The black-robed qi cultivator’s magical power was more than ten times greater than Zhang Ji’s. With a single slash, he shattered the power Zhang Ji had channeled into the demonic spear. An attack that left no angle uncovered instantly exposed countless openings, and the mighty blade force blasted the demonic spear aside before cutting toward Zhang Ji.
Almost at once, Karl thought of the highest achievement of knighthood—the “Divine Art,” hailed as the ultimate battle technique, one that surpassed the limits of mortals and entered the realm of the gods.
Liu Niang was naturally warm and familiar with everyone. Cui, however, was different. She was shy and introverted by nature, and mindful of their difference in status, she could only stammer and speak evasively.
The bandits were struck by rolling logs and boulders, crying out in pain as they tumbled down. Some were killed on the spot.
To be honest, Lu Shu only began to relax at this point. Reality had once again proved that his plan was unworkable. Even under such perfect conditions, everything had been disrupted when the great clan of the royal city suddenly intruded.
For the Brocade Guards, tracking down and arresting the robbers required no more than activating their network of connections. It was simply a matter of letting things proceed naturally.
In fact, she had been completely surprised that her son had come when summoned after a single phone call the previous night. Usually, she would probably have had to go out and find him herself in the end.
