Chapter 32
The night has fallen, and the bustling energy that filled the streets by day has long since faded.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao remains deeply reliant on Ke Yinyue, daring not to voice a single grievance against her. He understands well that to open a tavern in a place like this requires no small amount of power and wealth.
The sound behind him seems to close the distance at the speed of light, now right outside the car window. Pang Zhao tilts his head to look, met by a broad, displeased face. The car window on his side is rolled down halfway, and the other party, showing at least some decorum, merely taps on the glass rather than reaching in to strike his head.
She had never known that Mo Beixiao, a man of such eccentric character, could possess such a tender and considerate side. When he suddenly whispered her name, the two syllables sounded exceptionally sweet and intimate as they left his throat.
Before he could move to fill the gap, Xu Cong crowded in with a stiff, insincere smile, blocking his path at a most inconvenient moment. "Help a brother out, man. Ran into an ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, cover for me," he insisted, dragging him away without room for protest to chase down a waiter and ask for the restroom.
Su Cheng had truly not expected the artillery shells fired by the soldiers to have such terrifying power. In their previous training, they had only used practice rounds filled with white lime, and they had only tested the power of the actual explosive charges once before.
When the villagers asked the monk his name, he rattled off a long string of unintelligible gibberish. Because he wore a bright red robe year-round, a villager who had traveled and seen the world adopted a term from a religious sect: Acala.
Biluo sank back into her dreams, where gentle willow branches swayed and she sat upon Cang Yuan's shoulders.
"You would let the Emperor decide? That would be defying an imperial decree!" Wu Han, brimming with resentment, saw Jiang Muru approaching to snatch his rations—was that not practically asking for death?
"Woof!" Erhei’s excited bark interrupted the gaze shared between man and mastiff. The dog leaped into the cave entrance, tucking his body to crawl forward until his tail vanished from sight, followed shortly by Huang Dian.
To Mi Jia's surprise, Zhou Wenqin even came forward to greet her upon seeing her, her enthusiasm so sudden that Mi Jia was caught off guard.
After the word "Goodbye" was spoken, Shui Zhongtian unleashed his water ability, conjuring a massive sphere of water from beneath Qing Guang’s feet to envelop him.
Thinking this, Wu Han paused, then cursed himself. Had he grown so accustomed to being berated by that scoundrel Jiang Yichen that even the sight of a cat made him feel guilty? Was his mind truly failing him?
Having absorbed the life essence of all the vegetation within a radius of several miles, Wang Bo had only recovered a tenth of his strength. As for his injuries, little improvement had been made; he had been so close to death that a full recovery would not come easily.
Above Mount Meru, the battle between the two men raged on, the heavens and earth darkened by their struggle as they sought to exhaust their divine power to determine a victor.
"I have a supreme general, Pan Feng, who will surely take Hua Xiong’s head!" Han Fu, the Inspector of Jizhou, declared with absolute confidence.
"Damn you! Even if your defense is high, I won't let you off easily!" Pluto gritted his teeth, gripping his mountain-splitting axe as he lunged toward Xuanwu with all his might.
Fang Yan followed Tang Ling by car to the concert venue, a stadium capable of holding 80,000 people. It was one of the country's largest and most advanced outdoor stadiums; holding a concert here was no small feat, clearly showing the importance Tang Ling’s company placed on her.
This Renjia Town was a place where wind was gathered and energy converged, backed by great mountains with an expansive open space in front. With winding, unobstructed rivers flowing through the town, the mountains and water echoed each other; whoever selected this site was undoubtedly a master of Feng Shui.
The fire had broken out on a floor of a residential building, the situation dire. Dabai did not hesitate, darting straight into the sea of flames. The fire trucks arrived shortly after, and firefighters immediately set up their ladders and water hoses.
At this moment, Disha’s momentum reached its peak, and with a roar, he charged toward Chu Yun. Chu Yun’s pupils constricted; knowing Disha was far stronger than himself, he avoided a direct clash, side-stepping slightly as three silver needles appeared in his hand.
From his arrival in Europe in the summer of 2006, through a perfect debut season at Sporting Lisbon, to his transfer to Inter Milan in the summer of 2007, he helped the team surge forward in the league and reach the final sixteen of the Champions League. His performance drew the eyes of the world, and the Golden Boy Award was a full recognition of his talent.
The concentrated formic acid and ant venom were injected into the human body. As hundreds of venomous stingers pierced Shim’s flesh, his screams were sharper, harsher, and far more desperate and unrestrained than those of his soldiers.
Liu Ting recalled that shortly after she had notified the Human Resources department, Zhou Shibo had called her personally to give her a thorough dressing-down. He had even told her that he would handle Chu Yun’s affairs personally from now on, leaving her deeply irritated.
"Then, will you come with me into the long river of human history? Let us go and conquer humanity together." Fan Jiuming had become extremely confident, puffing out his chest.
Coach Liu of M University was very satisfied with his disciples' performance. After all, both sides were still on level footing; the opponent's performance was merely a flash of luck from individual players, and he believed that victory still belonged to them.
Suddenly, the earth trembled. Using the power of his staff, Ross moved the mountain to successfully block the surging water, while Zheng Haiming exhausted all his strength to blast a massive crater into the ground, causing all the water to drain into it.
"If I still had my physical body, how could I fear such trash?" Although Qiu Xu had not been with Yu Yang for long, his tone of voice had already been corrupted by him.
Guan Zheng surveyed the surroundings and, seeing that all was well, nodded. The border of Yunshan Town was just ahead, and he truly needed a good rest, for that was where the greatest dangers lay.
"Splash!" With a surge of primordial energy from his palms, he pushed the wooden raft forward, causing it to leap over a mound of earth and land back into a pool of water.
"Since that is the case, your senior brother will tell you the story of this jade slip. There is no need to rush your choice; it will not be too late to decide after you have heard the story." Seeing that Li Zhaoyuan seemed quite determined, the White-Headed Immortal began to recount the tale of the jade slip.
