Volume 1, Chapter 50: The Capital Prefecture Office

"Did they actually kiss or not?" She actually wanted to ask if they had gone all the way, but she was too embarrassed. She was just a baby, after all!

Not only Liu Xia, but everyone was blasted off the sword body by the shockwave. The moment they landed, swarms of Tu Lu beasts converged on them once again.

And now, her mother had inevitably believed the fabricated lies of those people, thinking that she truly brought down heavenly disasters and could no longer safeguard her mother's political power. That was why her mother asked how many personal guards she had under her command—most likely wanting to use her to strike first and gain the upper hand.

He must be seeing ghosts! Liu Xia protested loudly in his heart. How on earth did it become them who did the killing?

This villa used to be where Grandpa Mu lived. Later on, Grandpa Mu moved into a nursing home, and the villa had been vacant ever since.

"Look, over there, it looks like someone is coming!" Gu Qingge suddenly pointed ahead at a figure staggering toward them through the heavy rain.

He remembered meeting him in Xia Anduo's apartment that time; he was the crown prince of the Li Corporation.

"Alright, as long as you understand now. Head back, and I will summon you again if anything comes up." Qin Liansheng waved his hand to dismiss him.

Suddenly seeming to recall something, he asked Tie Xiangxue, "How is she?" This gentle inquiry was laden with profound affection.

Some people are simply not cut out for certain worlds; forcing yourself to blend in will only get you crushed. The world is cruel. When a mouse integrates into a cat's society, all it gets is death after being toyed with.

Then, adopting the tone of a "majestic divine slaughtering crown prince," he sternly issued an order to the team.

The certainty of my body's existence had vanished. I was drawn in by the adult's allure. Regardless of whether there was danger or not, I headed straight for the second floor.

Above, thousands of sword images and sword lights pointed threateningly at Yin Junfeng for a moment before seemingly receiving a sudden command, shooting toward him in unison from six dense directions: above, below, left, right, front, and back.

After all, in today's world, even martial arts deities are considered peak existences capable of suppressing the destiny of an entire clan.

"Strength is not a realm." Leaving behind these words, Fang Heng turned around and paid no more heed to Xiong Kuang, who was bleeding profusely on the ground.

A-Xing was deeply conflicted. He didn't want this; he didn't want to kill people. Yet, he was the one who begged Rogu to teach him, the one who demanded to make something of himself, and now things had come to this. If he wanted to quit, would he be letting down Rogu's nurturing? To put it bluntly, that would be betrayal.

However, if Huo Yun and the others lost, the powerful upper echelons of the Heavenly Gate might choose to flee after harming Su Zhuo's family.

"I beg the high person to save my two poor sons!" The old man rose from his stool and dropped to his knees before Ye Fan with a resounding thud.

Had he not read this document, Li Xiang would never have known that there were over a hundred thousand people in this city engaged in micro-commerce, or rather, online sales.

Once everyone was full, they planned to head to the villa for tea. Wan Guohao certainly couldn't participate in such an occasion any longer, so he offered his excuses and drove away.

"Hmph! Zhao Eryou, what I said just now was purely for Shopkeeper Gu's benefit. I know exactly what kind of person you are. I have only one thing to say to you: a dog can never stop eating shit! I just want to live a peaceful life right now, and once I have some spare money later, I'll settle accounts with you." The woman glared at Zhao Eryou with a gloomy gaze.

Heh, after beating around the bush for so long, that was all he could spit out? Who cares about your dinner, unless you let me "devour" you instead, that is.

Chu Shaotian, who was currently reveling in his triumph, never expected Su Zheng to still have explosive power left. Caught completely off guard, he was directly smashed away, plunging toward the ground.

Half an incense stick of time later, Zhao Eryou finished his meal, made all the preparations, and after bidding farewell to his wife, stepped out of the house. Accompanied by Gu Chan and her companion, he left the village and set off on the path toward the mountains behind it.

They had already formed their own living circles, driving various businesses such as breakfast stalls and general merchandise. Looking at these bustling scenes, Li Xiang might have previously felt nostalgic for the beauty of youth, but now he was somewhat absent-minded.

It rarely rained here, but thick fogs were frequent. The humidity was high, and quilts that hadn't been sunned for a long time made sleeping extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li Xiang and An Hu had solid physical foundations and could endure it, but Yu Ducheng had caught a slight cold, his nose stuffy and uncomfortable, making his speech sound nasal.

The method of use was also simple and brutal: before battle, take out a fire starter, ignite the tightly secured cloth strip at the bottle's mouth, and hurl the Molotov cocktail out. Then you would witness a brilliant flower of red lotus blooming upon the enemy.

Citizens and vendors hiding behind doors also cautiously poked out their heads to watch how this legendary, "benevolent" Master Li would make his decision.

It was the first time she had ever seen him like this, the first time she had witnessed his emotional breakdown, leaving her with an indescribable heartache for him, yet she had no idea if there was anything she could do to help.

With a roar from the Nine Infants, its demonic pill flew out and crashed into the flying corpse. Even the flying corpse couldn't fully withstand this blow, being blasted far away. Without hesitation, I grabbed Ye'er and soared straight up into the sky on my sword.

Bull sharks possess exceptionally sharp senses; the moment Ye Tian's gaze penetrated their bodies, these creatures instantly sensed the presence of spiritual energy.

Leng Mochen pinned me against the wall as if possessed. His hand slipped inside my clothes and touched my chest, causing me to panic instantly. I bit down hard on his tongue.

On the day the entire class broke camp to return to Leshi, passing through Beizhuang, Wu Yangxin suddenly felt a strong urge to go take a look.

Taotie didn't say that Luotu had escaped, but instead used the word "gone." The team leader could deeply comprehend the inner shock terrorizing Taotie. Without any warning, Luotu had simply "evaporated" from the trunk under entirely impossible circumstances.

In the morning, just after Li Danruo paid her respects to Old Madam Cheng and returned, the matron enthusiastically ushered Li Yuju and Li Jinrui through the flower-gate. Li Danruo hurriedly went out to greet them, inviting the two inside the east side-room to be seated.

"Grand Uncle..." Ji Haoyue cried out in incredulous shock, as if he never expected that their historically unyielding ancestor would utter such words.

Zhong Cheng saw clearly written on the white paper: Zhong Cheng, eldest young master of the Zhong family, owing to an engineering debt of 800,000 US dollars owed to Qian Xixi, the newly appointed captain of the guards of the Li family, hereby agrees to use a yellow Lamborghini sports car with license plate number XXXXXX as collateral to clear the debt, with no right of revocation, taking effect immediately at this hour, day, month, and year.

Because those things were never truly one's own to begin with—cluttered and impure—messing with them carelessly could lead to a backlash or even demonic possession.
