23 The Banquet

Lin Tao’s body appeared instantly at the edge of the lake. Amidst the lush green grass, a giant emerald python with a diameter of half a zhang was observing Lin Tao with curious eyes.

He was filled with anticipation; wandering around and sightseeing on Evil Dragon Island with his precious son was, in truth, a genuinely joyful experience. It was, after all, a father and son appreciating the territory that belonged to them—a place they were sworn to protect.

Jian Yurou watched with cold eyes the shameful sight of two tall men in their thirties pressed against the door, eavesdropping.

Hearing those words, Qin Muzhi’s thin lips tightened. Watching from the side, his grandmother noticed that the smile on her grandson’s face had vanished.

"Are we heading back now? There won't be any issues here, will it?" After hearing the news Xu Lang had gathered, Han Wantao also felt the matter was strange. Who could have written that letter to Kong Youde?

For a subject, what matters is not what you want to do, but what the Emperor wants. If you follow the Emperor’s will, even if other things go awry, the Emperor will help you mend them; if you go against the Emperor’s will, even if you achieve unparalleled merit, the Emperor may not be pleased.

Most of the people in the audience truly laughed this time; at the very least, this deputy director was quite honest.

Quinn did not panic. This was a flaw he had intentionally exposed, waiting for Zhou Mo to throw a punch. The only slight surprise was that Zhou Mo pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger without mercy toward that very opening.

Lin Tao not only said as much but also used his telekinesis to protect the pearl oyster, preventing anyone from taking tissue fragments from it.

Of the three daily system draws, he had only used one so far. With two left, Ye Xiaofeng naturally would not let them go to waste.

As it turned out, just as Tiantian shouted "No," a cold voice rang out.

Chen Hanlin smiled with a cold face. This old hand was much calmer than his own son; if this guy had wanted to make a move, he would have done so already—why wait until now?

Zhong Ling’er had indeed seen something the others had not; to be precise, she had heard and seen it.

Zhang Haotian discovered that the "Analysis" and "Telepathy" divine abilities were a perfect match. Telepathy could perceive subtle changes invisible to the naked eye, while Analysis could excavate the structure and patterns of those changes; the two complemented each other perfectly.

The Golden Emperor refers either to the White Tiger or to the Queen Mother of the West in the current Dongsheng Divine Continent. Both possess terrifying attainments in the Great Dao of Metal; both are at the realm of perfection, and both stand far above all other masters of perfection.

Zhou Miaoke finally remembered almost everything, but her body had gone limp, and she could no longer rise.

Given his nature, even if his current father were to come, it would still be a lost cause, so Ji Yi did not give it any thought.

Shortly after, Young Master Qin was seen still kneeling on the ground. Jiang Hai’s domain had been withdrawn, but the fear Jiang Hai had instilled in him remained; even after recovering, he dared not move recklessly.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch such a great opportunity slip away?" The Fourth Young Master Pan grew impatient.

In the time he had experienced before, there was a prison warden famous for a form of torture that simulated such an environment in an extreme way.

Therefore, Old Zhang found an employee he was familiar with and asked him to keep an eye on Qiqi in the children’s petting zoo. Seeing that it was a request from Old Zhang, and knowing Qiqi well, the employee readily agreed.

Gongyi Xing decisively cut off Yun Qing’s words. Only then did Yun Shuo look at Gongyi Xing across from him with a hint of admiration. Indeed, he now held the same opinion as Gongyi Xing. No matter what Yun Qing said, they would hold their bottom line and never let her break through.

To be honest, she was genuinely hungry! Especially the "Hibiscus Jade Ribbon Soup" in front of her, which nearly made her drool.

"Ask away. From the ninety-eighth level of the Star Prison to the nine-hundred-and-ninety-eighth level of Hell, I know a little bit about it all. While I wouldn't dare claim total mastery, I certainly know more than most people here," Jiji said proudly.

Animals here suitable for release, if they had no injuries or once they had healed, could be returned to their habitats. Those not suitable for release would remain at the zoo.

Sun Ying looked quite like her mother. Although Duan Jiaze had never met her, he recognized her the moment she stepped off the school bus.

"Master, had I known it would be like this, I would have dove headfirst back then. I could have become more handsome and not caused you any embarrassment," the young man said very earnestly.

Afterward, Xu Ning received better treatment. Although still tied up, he was at least no longer hung up, but rather secured to a tree. His pants were pulled up, and Zhao Xuanji even shoved a cigarette into his mouth.

In her past life, she had reduced countless people to dust, and the survivors were left broken and destitute because of her. That agony was exactly how she felt now.

"Who the hell is that guy? He looks pretty arrogant," Wang Ying asked with a smile, his arms crossed over his chest. He guessed that Bei Xiaoxiao must have run into some trouble.

Battalion Commander Pan’s clear stance and two orders put Li Jiang’s anxious heart at ease. Li Jiang followed Commander Pan outside, only to be stunned by the sight: Xiaoxiao’s bamboo flute was pressed against Bai Qingsheng’s throat.

If possible, I wish I had met you later. When I could take care of myself, when I had smoothed out my rough edges, when I had broken my bad temper, when I was no longer so impulsive.

4. Furthermore, most of the spirit beasts on the continent are low-level, and their attributes are mostly basic.

I reached out to take the item from his hand, yet he ignored me entirely and walked right past me.

He was shocked to find that Ye Feng and Zhang Kexin were walking toward the Maybach parked in front of his own car.

Seeing his desolate back, I don't know why, but I thought of my father. In the past few years, in order to earn my tuition and living expenses, my old man’s hair had also turned white prematurely.

"I heard you snatched my fiancée. Is that true?" Men Guangyang stared at Wang Ying with tiger-like eyes, his tone dripping with arrogance, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
