Volume One, Chapter 52: A Secret Affair That Cannot Be Seen in the Light of Day

The target is the upward area right above where you grip the weapon, which corresponds to the pommel position of a traditional rapier. Consequently, people generally do not pay much attention to defending that area when using a rapier.

"Rumble!" A burst of footsteps echoed. The security guards had arrived, likely alerted by the fat doctor's shouts.

Zhongli "Pig Teammate" Yan looked at Mo Ru with a gloomy expression, wondering how he had ended up paving the way for someone else's benefit.

Of course, the actual effect still needed to be tested. If it could teleport directly inside the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, its power would go without saying. If it could only affect creatures below the Golden Core stage, then it would likely turn out to be another useless gimmick.

An ordinary police car was parked on the outskirts of the shopping street, and Otsu Kaiko stepped out of the vehicle, wrapped in a heavy coat.

Having said that, Zhongli Yan's eyes instantly turned red. In order to make Mo Ru stay, he had exhausted every ounce of his acting skills.

Hearing Fang Yichen's words, Zhao Xuefeng finally reacted belatedly. She realized why she had felt such a sense of eerie familiarity earlier: this person truly looked remarkably like her.

Once Chang Weilong took over the case, Lu Cheng smoothly stepped in as the first assistant. In truth, he was fully capable of handling the surgical procedure himself; after all, his current level of surgical experience was advanced, so even compared to Chang Weilong, Lu Cheng had nothing to fear.

Although Qin Jiu, the reincarnation of the Blood Infant, was one of the candidates, he had only just reached the Qi Refining stage and did not seem to be a genius with heaven-defying cultivation speed. It was unclear how long it would take for him to grow, so further observation was still required.

Professor McGonagall waved her hand, and Fish happily darted out of the Transfiguration classroom, grabbed Hermione who was waiting outside, and ran toward the Great Hall.

Thinking back to the incident where grain was burned in Beiming City, this fellow was simply out of his mind—he would even set fire to his own doorstep, so burning your Dongwu City was hardly a big deal at all.

Most of them stood there in a daze, utterly unable to believe that they had actually shown such reverence toward Hua Qianyue.

"Did you recognize me?" The man did not look at her, yet his voice reached Luo Fengqing's ears clearly.

She said nothing, but under Yue Hongyan's gaze, she somehow felt that it was quite necessary to broaden Yue Hongyan's horizons.

Therefore, I arbitrarily reassigned Edelfelt to the Individual Foundation Department, while I simply deleted the original Solonia.

With a dull thud of a fist colliding with a face, the burly man fell backward, sending a spray of blood droplets into the air.

Accompanied by the sound of snapping bones, the blond man's kneecap was shattered directly by a kick from Yang Zining infused with Nine-Sun True Qi.

Yuan Man could understand their actions. If he were to encounter such a situation, he would also seek out someone with spatial abilities at the first opportunity.

Li Lan had Li Qingyu speak with Lin Qian also out of fear that Lin Qian might harbor lingering resentment over another collaboration, while simultaneously wanting to gauge his thoughts.

To Wamuu, Kars and Esidisi were elders and lords to whom he swore allegiance, while Santana was his only friend and companion.

As things turned out, Hagrid, who had been able to hold his own against them for a while earlier, was now reduced to scurrying around and shielding his head after a barrage of magic rained down.

Ling Hao's body recovered so rapidly that the examining physician was utterly astonished, looking as pleasantly surprised as if he had discovered a new continent.

After all, given Zhang Xing's height and good looks, there was no telling when some wealthy woman might decide to keep him as a kept man.

The heads of the five great families stared at the extinguished candle, their expressions grim and throats swallowing hard as they found themselves riding a tiger and unable to dismount.

I strode toward Dean Bai. Seeing me approach, Dean Bai grew increasingly nervous. I watched as his hands danced through a flurry of gestures, and only when I closed in further did I realize he was actually forming hand seals.

Ling Hao did not understand what this meant, but a sudden surge of warmth welled up deep within his heart.

Until I took my seat, my mind was still lingering on the black cat. Ever since it arrived at my place, this creature had acted like a salted fish all this time, doing nothing every day except basking in the sun and chewing on catnip, completely devoid of any dignity befitting a nether-spirit.

The leader of the Eagle Empire, upon hearing that Kyushu was once again launching large-scale operations, immediately convened a press conference while playing a signature accordion and speaking.

"Miss Lin, why must you wrong me so unjustly?" Zhong Ling wore an aggrieved expression—after all, who didn't know how to put on an act?

"Then, go ahead and tell me what your choice is. Will you watch, or will you not?" Asuka asked with a beaming smile.

In the battles that followed, the White Deer Arhat and his divine white deer mount continued to assist Grand Marshal Guo Xin in marching northward to eradicate demons, achieving countless military exploits. They became heavenly deities and living Buddhas beloved by all officers and soldiers of the army, leaving behind numerous beautiful legends etched forever into the historical records of Longtan.

Blue Saint also nodded. Being a beast by nature, he likewise coveted a sacred beast of this caliber. If he could devour it, it would be immensely beneficial for the enhancement of his bloodline.

That evening, the traditional wedding night celebrations began. Many relatives, friends, and classmates arrived, filling the room to capacity.

"Lin'ai, some mistakes cannot be delayed, you know?" Song Mingyi still gazed at her with deep eyes, revealing a hint of tenderness and heartache.

With a sharp "crack," Lu Bu didn't even have time to draw his bow for a counterattack, and could only quickly duck his head and lower his torso.

When Liu Fan uttered these words, the impression he left on everyone at the banquet was identical to the sensation created earlier by Yuvra's astonishingly high price—both were utterly shocking statements that left people speechless. The difference was that Yuvra had named an exorbitantly high price, whereas Liu Fan had named an ultra-low one. This time around, it was finally Yuvra's turn to feel thoroughly infuriated.
