Volume 1, Chapter 36: Planning to Start a Business, Lu Xiuyi Supports Her

Along with that strange buzzing roar, the black eagle’s eyes released a chilling, bone-deep gleam.

Zhu Hao was utterly bewildered. Though he had not known Lang Zhan for long, he knew the man was proud and conceited. He had never expected him to win the match in such a shameless manner.

After her surprise, Lin Xinxin grew even more nervous. She knew that the Shen couple had not seemed to think highly of her before, and she hoped they would change their opinion today.

Yu Ziyao really should have thought about it. If Xuanyuan Liye wanted to become emperor, would he need the Left Chancellor’s permission? Even the emperor himself could not stop him.

Just as he shook his head, that terrifying sword light mercilessly cleaved down upon Xi Zhenshan’s fiery lotus.

Xinxin’s face, as beautiful and smooth as white jade, was tinged with a faint flush from her excitement, making her appear even more translucent and lovely. Beneath the moonlight, her beauty was breathtaking.

He enjoyed the feeling of controlling people’s lives, as though every person’s fate lay in the palm of his hand.

Xuanyuan Qinglie and Xuanyuan Qingxuan exchanged a glance, each seeing disbelief in the other’s eyes.

“What kind of place is the Star-Picking Tower?” Feng Qingyu asked in confusion. How had she never heard of the Star-Picking Tower before?

“I’ve noticed that strange things happen every time I use a computer. I really can’t understand it. Even ghosts these days know how to use the internet.” I spoke.

“Several million people have been driven out of the urban area. Can you imagine how much pressure the Yue government is under? They don’t dare risk letting them return. Every extra day they remain outside will only breed more resentment.” Xing Yuliang understood that this was precisely the effect Chang Lin wanted, and he explained the advantages of the plan to several anxious subordinates.

Nevertheless, he still heard the Daoist’s words. His heart lurched with panic and unbearable grief. He struggled desperately against the light’s devouring force, wishing he could tear it apart with his bare hands. Signs of his consciousness collapsing had already appeared, yet he seemed completely unaware.

He had barely formed that thought when he suddenly felt a chill sweep across the back of his neck. At that instant, a violent buzzing rang beside the masked murderer’s ears, telling him that the Grim Reaper was already standing behind him.

“Chen Biao, if Brother Wang hadn’t been willing to let this go, you wouldn’t be able to survive in Shanghai after this.” Young Master Liu came over and glared at the security captain before hurriedly fussing over Wang Haitao.

The villa, which had already seen two owners die, was shrouded in an aura of death. Yet He Yimian, the newly appointed master of Clear Water Hall, refused to heed anyone’s warnings and continued living there even after the death of the previous master, Xiao Heng.

There was only the sound of water dripping from the eaves. No one answered. They exchanged glances, even more alarmed than before. Surely she had not gone mad from being locked up, just like the person earlier?

“You little imp, all you ever do is frighten your teacher. You nearly scared me to death this time.” Zhou Yi laughed heartily.

Since someone wanted to make me suffer, I would make him suffer even more. I would never show mercy to my enemies.

“A challenge?” Emperor Yanwu could not help frowning, putting on an expression of complete ignorance while secretly rejoicing inside.

“Mi Luo gritted her teeth and spoke, then faced those demons alone. Several layers of magic arrays instantly materialized in her hands. The five rings on her fingers burst into dazzling radiance, gathering the power of the five elements.”

At that moment, Peng Meng kicked the door open and rushed in to seize the medicine packet. Chang’e feared that Peng Meng would take it from her, so in her panic she swallowed the entire packet of immortality medicine in one gulp.

But just then, another figure appeared. Grabbing the scorpion by the joint with one hand, he reached for its neck. Caught off guard, the scorpion had no choice but to release Lin Qinghai.

After Qi Yubai finished speaking, the bear-like man lying on the ground also raised himself up. Holding a stone shield, he followed behind Qi Yubai as they ran toward the Zheng family’s main house.

Wherever he went, he always stayed in crude thatched huts, wore tattered clothes, ate coarse food, carried the heaviest tools, and performed the hardest, most exhausting labor. After several years of this, Dayu had truly aged considerably.

The Tree of Life possessed the power to bestow vitality upon people and living creatures. Naturally, it also had the power to absorb and deprive them of life.

But she had no choice. Ever since she had nearly been captured by terrorists last time, Chen Piaopiao had learned to be afraid. At that moment, she suddenly missed Lei Jun terribly. If Lei Jun were by her side, she would feel completely safe. Thus, she begged her father to call Lei Jun and ask him to return and protect her.

Everyone stared blankly at Jin Shanbao, who had kicked Jin Wanchian flying, his heaving chest and heavy breathing gradually settling down. At that moment, every member of the Jin family present was so stunned that their minds seemed unable to process what had happened.

Lei Jun had no time to concern himself with her feelings at that moment. He did not blame her for not understanding. Some things were taboos, not matters for joking about.

With a sharp click, the eight jointed limbs of the Mechanism Vein-Cutting Spider withdrew from Lei Ming’s great vertebrae and scurried back beneath Arrow Nine’s feet.

After hearing the adjutant’s well-intentioned reminder, Ye Hua’s mood did not improve. As someone reborn, he had long known that there could be many ways to complete a mission. So long as the mission did not specify the method, it was an open-ended task: achieving the result was enough. As for the process, no one would care.

He took six red banknotes from his wallet, clasped them with some reluctance, and went downstairs to find the landlady.

Wuyou Bro did not move. While enjoying Luolian’s service, he lowered his head and took the rosy, tender protrusion on her chest into his mouth, savoring it with relish.

Zhang Lianjie watched as that enormous soul shadow was about to rush before the Great King, while the Great King still seemed utterly unmoved by it. Zhang Lianjie hurried to the place where Jiang Yu had fallen earlier. The situation had been too urgent just now, and after the Great King blasted Jiang Yu away, no one knew whether she was alive or dead.

Pingfan had examined her ecological field force. It differed from that of ordinary mutants and from that of modern humans as they originally were. She had probably been modified by the Sacred Sovereign as well. In theory, she should have been a killing machine that attacked without saying a word. Like Batman and the others, should she not have possessed a consciousness of her own?
