Chapter 33

"I certainly don't have a thousand, but I can manage one hundred! It just depends on whether Brother Tang can handle that many," the antique shop owner said with a chuckle.

As it turned out, the middle-aged man previously addressed as Uncle Jia Liang was not actually his uncle, but his brother.

However, the freezing atmosphere made her feel somewhat afraid, and she couldn't help but feel an urgent need to do something to break the tension.

Si Yao held the hand of the bewildered Yi Yue as they stepped out of the car. Before them lay a vast plain, divided into neat, orderly plots by meter-wide ridges. Half-human-tall mineral plants grew in the fields, and mountains surrounded the distance.

"Law firms generally provide such services. We can make do with one for now, and later we can establish our own legal department," Song Jianmin replied, nodding at Tang Lei with a smile.

Zhan Changran turned to see A'Man bringing over a large platter of meat and politely invited Mu Qiaoshan to join them. Seeing there were no utensils to spear the meat, A'Man went to chop some branches, and the men worked together to whittle them into wooden skewers.

"Your Highness..." Yuchi Ling choked, unable to finish his sentence. He turned his face away to compose himself. Having guarded the frontier for years and fought on the battlefield, he had thought his heart was as hard as iron, yet the memories of their youth shattered his composure in an instant.

The Huazhong No. 1 building has a floor area of nearly 60,000 square meters and is the first international Grade A office building in Jiangcheng.

When it was time for bed, Shen Xici had still not returned, so Xu Yisheng took Shen Yunze to the bedroom.

On the way back, I bought a bag of apples and led Haohao to Auntie San's house; after all, she had come to help of her own accord.

Zhao Jia understood the gravity of the situation, but compared to the outcome of the entire campaign, sacrificing Dai Yi if necessary was not out of the question.

Even if the flow of time within the inner space differs from the outside world, the timing of a calamity is determined solely by the time experienced by the living beings within.

Ye Jianli and Lin Qiu both laughed at this; after all, a "family" should be harmonious. In truth, the entirety of Mount Shu was like this—it appeared to be a sect from the outside, but behind closed doors, it was a family. Regardless of which peak a disciple belonged to, even if there was competition, everyone remained as close as kin.

Zhou Qinchuan naturally had to follow the crowd. When he looked up after the ceremony, he realized this was the very same charlatan they had seen from afar when they first arrived in Yeshibatu.

"You know, I have never been afraid of being implicated by you! Chuchu, it’s only been a few days, look at what you’ve become!" Qi Yan looked at Wen Yichu, who had lost so much weight in just a few days, and felt a pang of heartache.

When Lin Qiu saw Ye Jianli elected as Sect Leader, he did not offer his congratulations, for Ye Jianli’s leadership was the greatest regret of his life.

Watching the master leave, Huang Ting and Zhang Midao looked at the brewing materials with excitement and immediately arranged for the workers to begin distilling the fermented mash.

"So that's how it is!" Who would have thought this parrot was similar to a nine-tailed fox or a cat with nine lives?

Yaoyao’s delicate, childish voice reached everyone’s ears, and the way they looked at Fatty changed instantly.

Under this hazy, ethereal beauty, the vast spiritual fields appeared like jade, with green waves swaying along with the rich spiritual energy, looking as if they were alive.

The Xia Emperor’s face turned purple. With so many people present, if he were to kneel, the majesty of the Great Xia monarch would vanish entirely.

"You want my inheritance?" The ball of light paused; clearly, even this ancient, sagely being had not expected Ren Hai to be so direct.

With that, Lu Jianbang returned to his room to lie down. After all, there was no hope left in life anyway, so he might as well just let things be.

Among the immortals present, not even the four Great Immortal Kings would dare claim they could kill a City Lord-level entity with a single sword strike, yet this Guo'er had done exactly that.

He wondered to himself: could it be that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, his essence had lost its efficacy?

Crossing the boundary once consumed a vast amount of spiritual energy. Without the support of the spiritual liquid from the Panlong side, it would have been impossible for these ten people’s cultivation to achieve it.

"Fellow Daoists, wait a moment!" Paying no mind to the awkwardness from before, Qingshan called out to the group who were about to ride their long rainbows away.

Since the elder had handed the square box to her, Meng Nanjun simply held the sachet to examine it closely. After looking it over, she placed it back into the box and began to voice the suspicions in her heart.

But what horrified the three of them was that all the monsters under their command had, for some unknown reason, been frozen into ice sculptures.

No, that’s impossible. She immediately dismissed the thought. Akai was clearly alive and well at this point in the original story.

Cold by nature and worldly-naive, yet what Chen Mo saw now was a person with a slender, jade-like figure, far more ethereal than Ruotong on television, and possessing even more celestial grace than Yifei, leaving Chen Mo deeply shaken.

In the current situation, the only thing she could do was get rid of him as quickly as possible so he wouldn't implicate her here.

Yang Yan seemed to want to dodge; she knew how terrifying she looked and didn't want Gu Hesheng to see her this way, but she was powerless to stop it.

Rong Yan bent down to take off her socks, but before she could finish, a pair of strong arms scooped her up by the waist from behind.

Li Bin called over Yun Shi, who was instructing other disciples in the training grounds, and together with Zhai Ling and Lao Jian, they began teaching the "Spiral Nine Shadows" movement technique.

Looking at the countless corpses lying in the courtyard, a cold sneer hung on Lin Feng's lips. He expertly changed the magazine, walked into the living room of the Gu villa, and caught sight of the bodyguards standing with their backs to him. He raised his pistol, aimed at their heads, and without a moment's hesitation, pulled the trigger with a "bang."
