Chapter 54

Strips of white clouds drifted from north to south, arranged in neat square formations as they flew far off toward the firmament of the Southern Continent.

"Wuwuwu... This is so delicious, Boss, I love you." Bai Yuanyuan mumbled between bites of potato chips, tears streaming down her face as she ate.

Yet, she later realized that no matter what she did, her mother still disliked her just as much as before.

However, since Guan Zhifeng had already put it that bluntly, pressing the matter further would have been entirely lacking in tact.

She took the dozen or so garments she had already washed out to the clothesline to dry, clutched the remaining buttons in her hand, and retreated alone to her room.

Chu Lin had no way to refute this. Gnashing her teeth in bitter frustration, she flicked her sleeves angrily, stormed out, boarded her carriage, and hurried back to the manor.

However, Lin Can was a tycoon of immense wealth. Visiting the normal university twice—once in a Bentley, once in a Lamborghini—such overwhelming displays of affluence meant not a single young man dared to pursue Yang Wuluo anymore.

Su Ran had prepared numerous bamboo tubes in advance, intending to carve them into bowls and chopsticks, primitive though they might be.

Peiying stuffed the medicinal pill into Double-Color Ball's mouth, then thoughtfully unscrewed her own water flask and fed the creature some water.

At this, the vice president dug his heels in, and the doctors likewise refused, claiming that if I rashly removed the patient, the journey would be fraught with danger.

Just then, Dongfang Ruxue, who had been lying prone on the sofa, could no longer stay still. She feared that if things continued this way, Aunt Liu would keep misunderstanding Bei Wuyou, and the man's pride would undoubtedly take an irreparable blow.

Knowing full well that there were snipers about, they didn't even dare to pop their heads out, resorting instead to blind firing. After shooting a few rounds, they dragged Young Master Chen along as they fled, with their pursuers hot on their heels.

Years of forbearance had all been for a single moment, and now that the opportunity had finally arrived, they were merely lacking a justifiable spark. Furthermore, Xu Bing claimed that this time, Jiang Hao was determined to win at all costs.

Though Qin Li hadn't overheard their conversation, the malicious glances they kept casting her way were enough to tell her they were saying nothing pleasant.

The warriors who had once followed Saeed on countless campaigns, leaving the armies of the Umayyad Caliphate completely powerless to resist, were utterly dumbfounded. What was happening today? Why were they ordered to retreat just as the charge had begun?

"Our child got accepted into university, so I want to earn as much as I can while I still have the strength," the shopkeeper said happily, seeming to possess an endless reservoir of energy.

Bei Wuyou felt his blood surge passionately beyond control; this wife of his was simply too stunning, exuding an all-encompassing allure. Even someone like Liu Xiahui would inevitably lose his self-control, let alone a man like himself.

"By the way, it's Yiyi, right? Yiyi, what is your daddy's name?" Bei Wuyou felt helpless. Where on earth had this child come from, clinging to him and calling him daddy with such tenacity? He truly was to be pitied.

"He needs us to take action to draw the attention of the people below, making it easier for the other mercenary group to make their move," Catherine said.

As Liu Xing was pondering a solution, an increasing number of messages flooded in, informing him that members of the royal family were launching surprise attacks against them.

Ye Qinghan gave a self-deprecating smile. An impostor through and through, he really hadn't reacted in time for a moment there.

Immediately, more than twenty members of the Ning family shouted in unison. Infused with a massive influx of spiritual energy, the mirror at the Center of Truth and Law lit up once more, and a terrifying tidal wave began to brew.

"Li Ming, has that matter been properly handled?" Wang Zong, the second young master of the Wang family, stared fixedly at Jiang Chen before turning his gaze to Li Ming and asking coldly.

After they departed, only the row of fallen trees remained to bear witness to the fierce battle that had just taken place here.

If the Gray Palace Lord truly harbored ulterior motives at this juncture, Ye Qinghan's wisdom and judgment would likely be severely compromised by emotional factors, drastically lowering his guard against the other party.

As the old man hurried along his way, he used his free hand to shove the dark purple wheel spinning before him straight toward Fang Quan.

Lin Shufeng gave an awkward laugh. Though he appeared amiable and somewhat respectable on the surface, his heart was trembling with dread. He was a notorious hitman, and the majority of young men on Hong Kong Island had perished at his hands.

"The last time we saw her, she looked utterly haggard, completely different from the radiant appearance she has today. Naturally, the impression she gives is entirely different," Jiang Zhiyu muttered, stroking his chin.

A sudden surge of elation gripped him, but right at that moment, two motorcycles roared in from afar. While still a good distance away, the riders drew handguns, followed instantly by the sharp cracks of gunfire.

Qiu Ya materialized beside Wang Cangcang, who sat cross-legged with her consciousness immersed in fusing the divine power of the Black Tortoise, intending to spirit Wang Cangcang away.

Meanwhile, the Korean team's "Barbarian King" had respawned. Seeing the "Undead Juggernaut" guarding the base, he naturally dared not press the attack, opting instead to farm in the jungle.

Days earlier, professional team players and casual gamers had already erupted into a digital turf war online. The spark for the riot had been Xueyi, and now that Guhui had exposed Xueyi's past, they had found their opening.

If a true God of Chaos existed, that entity would be the ultimate enemy of this heaven and earth! To claim that the God of Death would destroy this world is a misconception; it is not destruction, but rather the reshaping of this realm according to the will of Death, turning it into a silent, lifeless domain while the realm itself continues to endure.

Regarding Hanzhen's "plan," many remained skeptical, feeling that it would merely startle the snake in the grass and alert the primordial heavenly spirits.

At present, Captain Gangplank had accumulated enough gold to purchase a potion and a half, though he still fell slightly short of affording two full vials.

Perhaps Jishan believed that Tatana had entirely abandoned any intention of killing her, seeing as she had already been grabbed by the arm.

The surging river of blood flowed continuously, acting like a biological transfusion system that drew out Li Zhiyuan's blood and channeled it into Lü Batian's body, while simultaneously extracting Lü Batian's blood and pumping it into Li Zhiyuan.

With Great Elder Jiuniang's "verbal decree," even if the subordinates didn't care to show face to the Open-Minded Beast and Great Sage Lu Wu, they had no choice but to respect Great Elder Jiuniang.
