Chapter 24: Nothing at All
"The seafood restaurant downstairs from the company—come here within ten minutes." After Qiuyu Meng finished speaking, she hung up. Cao Mang stood up helplessly, and Deng Xiao Jiao picked up his clothes to help him dress.
She whispered gently, "Come over when you're done, I'll give you a massage to help you recover quickly."
Cao Mang couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful it was to be wealthy...
"Alright, that's enough, why can't you stop laughing?" Watching Bai Ge giggle non-stop across from him, Chen Yu was quite helpless and spoke in frustration.
Lang Xing Tian's fists struck out at an incredible speed, each blow thunderous, splitting stone and tearing the air, creating bursts of explosive sounds.
"There really isn't anything that needs compensation. How about this—when I get back, all the expenses for dining and shopping are on you, how does that sound?" After thinking for a while, Lang Nuo'er finally proposed this condition.
The flames burning within the Scarlet Flame Blade were no ordinary fire, but evil soul flames capable of consuming one's very spirit. Any enemy struck by the demon blade would be burned to death within three days.
"It's fine, it's fine, let's hurry and get out of here. Do you really want to sit here chatting and wait for those foreigners to come arrest me?" Lang Xing Tian quelled Tang Tian Qi's curiosity.
The Deep Forest was a scenic spot of Dongling City, but also one of its forbidden zones. Every month, heart-wrenching screams echoed from within.
Though his tone still carried the imposing power of a king, his movements seemed somewhat mechanical, as if his limbs were unusually stiff.
Ye Ning didn't hesitate. He immediately took out a blank jade slip and imprinted the method for refining the Shrinking Earth Ruler upon it. What surprised him was that the other party made no mention whatsoever of the second half of the Earth’s Marsh. Could it be that Tun Mi was completely uninterested in this divine ability?
"Where did you and the president rush off to just now?" Juan'er asked, her words unable to contain her radiant beauty. She truly seemed transformed, becoming endlessly intelligent and graceful.
Sun Yinsheng had already opened his computer and found that email. He gave up his seat to Chen Yu, and went to admire the Nine Dragons and One Phoenix painting.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bokong's face was full of shock. After losing an arm, he said not a word, turned, and tried to flee.
Abel cried out in anger and surprise, "You were setting up a magic formation just now!" But her voice no longer carried the firmness it had before, and her eyes, like silver spheres, were tinged with crimson. Only now did she realize the true purpose behind the other's circuit around the city—it was not merely for convenience in gathering desire.
Cheng Yuan was reluctant at first, but when he saw Chen Chao signaling him with his eyes, he seemed to understand.
"We're in trouble—Chu Ming isn't here. If the enemy…" The Dragon Lord clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. They were no longer the Dragon God Realm of the past; if a truly unstoppable enemy appeared, they would not surrender without a fight. Even in death, they would die with honor.
This city lord bore some grudge against someone named Liu Lang; it seemed that anyone called Liu Lang would be killed.
One of the onlookers drank his liquor in one gulp and shook his head resignedly. But when he looked up, he was suddenly startled—he remembered a man in white standing before him, but now he had vanished.
"You just love to make things up," Janice said angrily. Seeing Arthur looking so smug, she couldn't help twisting his waist. Arthur immediately cried out in pain and retaliated, and after a spirited tussle, finally let her go.
"Could Uncle Kong have discovered some mechanism and gone to investigate by himself?" Yan San wondered aloud.
In the human world, the status of legendary powerhouses was most peculiar; they often existed only as a symbol or secret weapon. The real decisions shaping the fate of nations were not made by them.
