Volume 1, Chapter 54: Old Zhu: Is He Fooling Me Like an Idiot?

After Mu Lingfeng left, Hua Jiu checked her belongings. Aside from the painting, nothing was missing. She had originally thought that Xia Shiguang would be able to hold her ground, but these two companions in adversity were so synchronized even when it came to matters of the heart.

Yet with just that single palm strike, the strongest blow Jun Yan could muster relying solely on his true strength without any external amplification was easily blocked. A layer of gray mist appeared over the Evil Emperor's palm, and the azure sword light crashing against it failed to stir up even the slightest ripple.

Only Ji Lingsheng would dare to think such a thing. Ordinary people, upon meeting the emperor, would bow every three steps and kowtow every five, trembling with fear as if entering a tiger's den. Only he, relying on his status as an elder's favorite, acted as though nothing were the matter and behaved with such nonchalance.

With such a massive population base, setting aside accidents and disasters, the number of elderly individuals could not be small. Every day, people died of old age, and over the years and months, a vast number of ghosts ought to exist.

They had arrived! Ji Lingsheng felt that walking these few steps was no different from walking along the edge of a cliff. Standing before the door, his teeth were chattering audibly. He clenched his fists tightly, forced himself to calm down, and then strode inside.

Directly beneath the tribulation lightning, when Hua Jiu clearly saw those two layers of tribulation clouds, her heart tightened abruptly, and the misery and terror of surviving this tribulation last time surged back into her mind.

The old foreigner was well-informed and had long since found Yun Feng's number. After being rebuffed by Lu Yajun, he called Yun Feng directly. Yun Feng had never spoken to the old foreigner before and could not recognize his voice. Furthermore, he spoke in English, hoping to intimidate her, presuming she wouldn't understand a foreign language.

Although she had now become one of the cadres of the gold-tier magic association "Scarlet Sunshine," that was merely a level of being "outstanding" among her peers.

This matter was simply impossible to explain, nor did he wish to explain it. Therefore, he had no choice but to adopt a more direct approach—a method he rarely used to deal with pitiable people.

This setup was purely for a deeply satisfying plot twist later on; I won't say more, otherwise it would be a spoiler.

While in the car, she had already secretly compared measurements. Her index finger was slightly thinner than Lu Xuan's finger, and slightly looser than her own, so it should fit him just right.

Normally, they should have seen each other as they brushed past, but Tao Xiu happened to pass by on the far right, separated in the middle by Ding Le and the tall-statured Ye Chenming, so Gu Qingkuang did not see Tao Xiu.

Trembling, he walked into the shop to take a look, and sure enough, he found the coffin slave lying by the pillar with a gaping wound on his forehead, still bleeding incessantly.

Ding Le did not hear clearly and merely assumed they were grumbling. When he stepped into the villa, it was pitch dark. Had he gone to sleep?

As Su Yao spoke, her gaze seemed glued to his face. She saw that his expression remained unchanged, and not a single ripple could be discerned in the depths of his eyes.

After conducting an examination, the doctor suggested that Qin Sihao undergo a gastroscopy. Terrified of pain, Qin Sihao opted for general anesthesia.

In a life-and-death combat arena, some people would stop at nothing to achieve victory. Bribing others to disrupt, sabotage, or even attack their opponents was by no means uncommon.

He left casually, taking nothing with him except his phone. Xin Xin stood frozen in place, and by the time she snapped out of it, she only saw the heavy door close before her eyes. The next moment, the sound of a car driving away echoed from outside, and he was already far gone.

Gradually, Cheng Yang painfully tightened her brows, her fingernails leaving mottled marks across the man's back.

Before long, freshly prepared meals were delivered. Since everyone present was part of her inner circle, Shu Wan naturally saw no need to put on airs. Filling her stomach was the top priority. After a flurry of voracious eating, Shu Wan unceremoniously let out a hearty burp.

The ground continued to tremble violently. Alice struggled to turn her head, only to discover that this was a place she had never seen before—dim, dilapidated, and covered in dust, with her body pressing against a tattered burlap sack.

Clutching the pitch-black pill in her palm, Jun Chengzhi found it somewhat incredible. Did she really make this herself? How come he had never known she possessed medical skills? It seemed his Princess Consort harbored quite a few secrets indeed.

As for the giant serpent, it plummeted rapidly toward the black sun. However, the moment it made contact, its body vanished from the perspective of the three observers, instantly reappearing behind the black sun.

Counting peripheral personnel, the Heavenly Kingdom organization had by now grown into a super-colossal entity boasting nearly ten million members. Its insiders hailed from all over the world; as long as one had ability and self-control, people of any background and any race could be found within its ranks.

Hearing this, Wushan and Li Chuqi did not make a move immediately, for Meng Feihui was no ordinary person. If outsiders learned that they had killed a talented disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, even their own sects might not be able to protect them.

After all, her current single-minded obsession was to salvage the benevolent mother image she had carefully cultivated in the past through live-streaming.

As soon as the car entered the station, Zhao Zhibao spotted Qianlong, because Qianlong's carriage was not allowed inside and was parked right at the entrance. Zhao Zhibao waved a greeting to Qianlong, and the vehicle drove on through.

"Even without the help of those people, I will still take back the Yang family. As for the Yang family, let you struggle a while longer," muttering to himself as he walked out the door, Li Ping clenched both fists tightly.

"Jiang Tong, thank you. I don't blame you for what happened this morning." Having said that, Han Jiangxue picked up her cracked phone from the ground and turned toward the elevators.

Everyone was waiting anxiously for the doctor to arrive, their focus entirely on Cao Liangse's belly, though each harbored their own hidden agendas.
