Volume 1, Chapter 33: Detoxification Card, So It Was You

"Danger! Danger! Host is poisoned. Please use the [Antidote Card] immediately."

"Use it!" Ye Lin pinched himself hard to snap out of it and activated the card at once.

*Whoosh.*

A warm current washed over him from head to toe. Wherever it passed, his nerves returned to normal, his mind cleared, and he regained control of his limbs.

"Brother A-Sheng? Brother A-Sheng?" Brother Yong watched Ye Lin with a feigned expression of concern. He then looked toward Ticai. "This isn't fake, is it?"

A smug smile played on the corners of Ticai's mouth. "If this were fake, he’d deserve an Oscar."

Brother Yong nodded and signaled his underlings. A few of them grabbed a...

Former Lakers teammates like Fisher and Metta World Peace were in attendance, and the front rows were filled with celebrities from all walks of life, creating a star-studded atmosphere for this world-renowned match.

"No matter how Ye Machen tries to incite you in the future, you must never offend Yue Qingchen or the Prince of Dingguo's mansion because of him," the Great Elder said earnestly.

"Let's see what Mother decides. If she doesn't want to divorce Father, we can't force her," Gu Qingwan said softly.

"Go change your clothes!" Yin Xinlan waved her hand at him, completely unaware that she had already exposed herself.

Some people were skeptical at first, but later, as more and more evidence was exposed, they went from being fans to haters.

Mao Wu stood expressionless, his eyes devoid of any ripples, like a human machine. He held the weapon, pointed it at Xiao Yao, and slowly squeezed the trigger.

Lin Leshuang squeezed the few golden needles she had been clutching in her palm. Her rage surged forth; she had had enough.

The clearly articulated hand waited before her. Ping You hesitated for a moment, then slowly placed her hand into his, stepping down from the carriage. Though it was a simple gesture, Mo Tong, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. She had been terrified that the Consort would foolishly refuse the Prince.

Wu Lichun's hand, which had been about to open the door, froze mid-air. She couldn't believe that the friends who had been chatting so intimately with her just moments ago would speak of her this way behind her back.

"Pointing at a deer and calling it a horse" refers to the eunuch Zhao Gao, who, in order to usurp power from the Second Emperor of Qin, tested the court officials by presenting a deer to see who would dare contradict him.

"I haven't heard much about that, because we coroners rarely deal with prisoners, and when we do, it's usually their time of death. Besides, ever since that incident, I haven't even dared to stay in the dorms here. I've moved to town, and I leave immediately after my shift ends," Zhu Hong replied.

After Qi Hui left the capital, she and Liang Dong were essentially separated. Unable to bear the loneliness, Liang Dong hooked up with someone else.

"I really only brought you here; there is no need for you to be sentimental. I never asked for any repayment from you, understand?" I said.

"This martial art focuses on both internal and external cultivation. The internal techniques are the Pulse Expansion Formula and the Nine Yang Divine Art, and the external techniques are the martial arts you previously practiced. Therefore, once you reach the innate realm, both your physical body and your true energy can be tempered to an unimaginable state."

Enemies who had been lying in ambush near the trenches at the Tiger Fang headquarters, outside the trenches, and behind nearby rocks and trees emerged.

"I'm coming over. Don't get agitated. These two comrades are coming with me." Commander Gao held a ballistic shield in front, followed by a negotiation expert. Peng Shizhe was in the back, slightly to the right, a position where the kidnapper's line of sight was blocked by the ballistic shield, preventing him from seeing the gun in his hand.

While the police were painstakingly surveying the hotel scene, Peng Haoming and Bobby were also struggling to track their target. The opponent seemed very experienced, refusing to stop and instead circling within the city. There were too many vehicles in the city, and although Bobby was a skilled driver, he hadn't been able to catch up.

"Beidou Shaoyan, I hope you can represent me and defeat the Dark Palace." Xuanyuan Zhanlong swung his Xuanyuan halberd directly, flying out of the arena, and vanished without a trace.

"I will find a doctor for you immediately. Please stay calm. Can you let our people go up and help your brother down..." Qin Minghui knew he wouldn't agree, but negotiation was like this; one must maintain communication with the suspect no matter what to extract more information.

"I'm full. I'm going to rest." Xianglong stood up, patted his stomach, turned, and left.

Zhang Pengfei of the Hainan Faction led 4,000 naval troops to reinforce Chaozhou, joining forces with Yang Jun, the Assistant Regional Commander of Chenghai.

After speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Lei Dan's eyes. The next moment, the surging true essence energy within his body soared rapidly like a rising tide. At the same time, streaks of blue lightning arcs flowed continuously from all parts of his body.

Dai Yuzhu also stood up, bowed to Zhu Yang, and said, "This concubine takes her leave." She then walked out the door with Sun Yunqi, Ting Wei, and Yin He.

"Alert! Take cover!" The three of them instantly scattered and concealed themselves. It had to be said that after a day of fleeing, their raw skills had improved significantly; their agile reactions were truly impressive.

Yuan Qianshan harbored a secret bitterness, deciding that once he returned, he would take out all the family treasures, have someone run to the other families to seize their collections as well, and then take the treasures to find people from the ancient aristocratic families or hidden sects.

Ivan looked at the ferocious Snow Desert Scorpion before him. His peripheral vision caught the change in expressions of the two people not far away. It seemed there wasn't much time left.

As it happened, the timing was perfect. Less than a minute after the group finished their preparations, there was movement on the side of the bow where the anchor was dropped! The anchor chain made a faint, unusual sound; it seemed Xin Paoer was climbing up.

Having heard that her son, who had been in a coma for five days, had finally woken up, Lady Gao could hardly sit still. She hurriedly tidied up and rushed toward the Prince of Su's bedroom.

Consort Guo had followed Zhu Yuanzhang when they were in Haozhou. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet risen to power, so she could be considered one of the more senior figures among the old Zhu's consorts.

Chen Zi'ang looked at Liu Boji with surprise. Based on her behavior over the past few days, although her temperament was gentle, her murderous intent toward Liu Piao was undeniably real.

Mr. He had no doubt that the man before him, whose gaze was so cold it held not a trace of warmth, would cripple his hand.

Of course, I also learned from the Moon God that divine positions could be upgraded. That Moon God had ascended from a Tier 2 God of Speed to a Tier 1 divine position.

Hanada Haruna was just about to explain when a cell phone rang in the living room. Everyone followed the sound and looked at Hanada Haruna.

While Xu Yuan was still confused, she saw in the distance that Jun Yan, holding a phone, seemed to be making a call. A second later, her own phone began to ring.

Dai'an knew the Third Prince was right, but while she could risk herself, she would not allow others to do so.

Hiwara gave a half-lidded look: "One bouquet is enough for me. You should take yours back to give to your mother."

She looked around uneasily. Fortunately, it seemed to be a tea party for wealthy ladies today, so she shouldn't run into him, and she breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
