Chapter Fifty-Five: Unwavering-Eu Cortei as Emoções e Entrei no Demônio, Meu Mestre e Meus Irmãos Mais Velhos Se Ajoelham e Rogam o Perdão(pêssego branco jade)

Helpless, Jiang Heng wanted to push her away, only to find herself completely immobilized, and her heart sank.

Moreover, she noticed that her body was growing increasingly hot, and strange thoughts toward the beautiful woman began to stir within her.

Oh no, this beauty was in a cultivation realm far superior to her own.

Furthermore, it seemed she practiced some sort of seductive art—the kind that worked equally well on both men and women.

Since this person was so extravagant and must have seen countless treasures, she had undoubtedly recognized Zhu Zhu's true value and was determined to obtain her at all costs.

With that, he drove away, leaving Li Qiang dumbfounded as he stared at the basement crammed with heavy photographic equipment.

Behind him, Yu Hu listened while subconsciously touching her neck. The spot where Qi Guang had pinched her still throbbed faintly, and the scene of Qi Guang leaping onto his horse remained vividly etched in her memory.

The reason he incited the others was twofold: first, he had never engaged in murder and robbery before; second, he was afraid that Ba Yi would come looking for him upon hearing the news. Since debts had their debtors and wrongs had their perpetrators, if someone else committed the murder, it would have nothing to do with him.

Amidst the flashing slivers of silver radiance, which seemed to carry the power of spatial severance, the moment of contact caused that esper to dissolve into dust, vanishing entirely from between heaven and earth.

After more than half a year of infighting, Cui Anping even grew the urge to simply request a transfer and be done with it. Just as this thought formed and he was preparing to act on it, Liu Hongjun appeared. Liu Hongjun was directly parachuted down from the provincial government to become the county magistrate.

Despite harboring deep grievances against Ji Ran, he still lacked the courage to reproach her. Just as usual, he prepared a meal for her and served it at the table.

Bidding farewell to Wen Zhengchu, Xiang Qingxi returned to the Xiang family estate and replaced the Lantian jade within the formation array with top-tier crystal essence, ensuring that the defensive array of the Xiang family would not require a replacement of its energy stones for the next hundred years.

The next morning, he slept past eight o'clock and found his sleep quality last night to be unprecedentedly good. Whether it was due to the system's auxiliary effect or not, it left him feeling exceptionally refreshed and energetic.

Although the monk Pukong was severely injured, his full-strength strike was something even Wu Huan dared not take lightly. Wu Huan hurriedly recalled his stance, channeling all his internal energy to meet the oncoming, leaping monk Pukong.

Hiding within the nightmare space and having narrowly escaped with his life, Cang Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

The moment the two seals of Emperor Xi touched, they erupted with a brilliant radiance so blinding that Liu Yi could not keep his eyes open. The entire room was flooded with this intense light, and only after a full half-hour did the glow gradually dissipate.

A mountain of treasures lay within arm's reach, yet he was utterly powerless to take them, forced to watch helplessly—how could one not feel anxious?

While self-deprecatingly mocking himself, You Jian also sought to comfort himself. Truly, he had seen through the myriad states of human life and grown indifferent to wealth, honor, and disgrace—how stirring yet tragic, how lamentable yet sorrowful.

Delora still believed she could pull off a One-Turn Kill against them, and she still had three cards in her hand: two monster cards and one spell card. With these, carrying out another combo play should be no problem.

Especially during the day, when three patrol squads intersected with one another, each consisting of fifteen men. Furthermore, the manor could arm at least a hundred musketeers and featured two artillery emplacements, each mounted with three 3-pounder cannons. One could say that unless an official regular army attacked, it was simply impossible for anyone to break in and run amok.

Babu smiled faintly as he opened an exquisite wooden box, inside of which lay a supremely refined revolver—personally supervised and manufactured by Yu Wei as a commemorative gift, a replica preventing the Colt revolver.

Qi You glanced at him expressionlessly. The curse might be real, but the claim that one would be cursed simply by stepping in here was false, because in Qi You's eyes, everyone except their own group was enveloped in a shroud of dark qi, which was likely the physical manifestation of the curse.

Fedshon did not dare to dwell any further on that hypothesis, as doing so would subject him to a tearing agony.

A moment later, a glimmer of light flickered in the darkness. That glimmer came from a fluorescent lamp in Caitlin's hand, a piece of equipment frequently used by criminal investigators, often paired with fingerprint powder to detect prints left by suspects.
