Chapter 23

Seeing this, the crowd withdrew their gazes and, as if driven mad, charged toward the five hundred remaining bone beasts.

Once a princess of the Great Zhong, she was now merely a maidservant to Zhang Ji; in terms of status, the difference was truly vast.

"Space-time… I wonder if I will ever find the dimensional space-time that belongs to me," Zhang Chi muttered to himself, searching slowly and aimlessly.

Upon hearing this, Mai Yi and Forensic Pathologist Zhou both swallowed hard, simultaneously wiping away beads of cold sweat.

After a rustling sound that lasted for more than half a minute, a sand-like Jormungandr appeared within the pillar of light.

The lesser among them were equipped with Saint-grade defensive spirit weapons; although inferior, when combined with their own protective barriers, they sustained only minor injuries at most.

Knowing in his heart that this man harbored murderous intent—primarily because he suspected him of possessing a treasure that surpassed a divine artifact—Bai Yunfei could not be bothered to feign amiability.

Although Zhou Longfei had just subdued Han Chen with a single hand, which had left her feeling extremely astonished, she knew that this was clearly not the moment to show off.

Evidently, only a second prior, both women had been thinking that perhaps Zhou Longfei had simply failed to find the black-robed figure.

No one doubted that the efficacy of these medicinal pills was as miraculous as Mother Yun Ya had claimed; no one would suspect a member of a fifth-tier family of joking about such matters.

Jin Chendong was eager to leave, but seeing Gu Xintong say such things at this moment, he felt deeply worried.

The restaurant Bing Ru chose for their meal was a well-known hot pot establishment located in the central business district of Warsaw.

Fortunately, Liu Runqing knew she had made a mistake, so she maintained a docile appearance, listening as the doctor lectured her.

The two words that slipped out of An Qi’s mouth immediately reminded Yang Jiujiu of the scene she had witnessed in the breakroom a few days ago...

But now that the son of the God of War had been possessed by the fortune within the Nether Forbidden Zone, there was no way that they, who had trespassed, could possibly survive.

Ling Xiao asked no further questions. Since Ban Xia said she was unfamiliar with him, she surely knew only the barest details of his past; asking more would be meaningless, and besides, it was not his style.

Once Gu Xintong left with Yangyang, she let her body collapse onto the large bed, truly feeling an immense sense of comfort and ease.

The message conveyed by the wicked glint in his eyes infuriated Yang Jiujiu; was this guy treating her like some sort of animal to be appraised?

This mocking remark, intended to kick them while they were down, left the remaining Korean spectators beside themselves with rage.

But Tang Wan felt the color did not suit her; it seemed to add ten years to her age, as did the hairstyle she wore that day, which added another ten. At such a tender age, shouldn't she be dressed more freshly? It was truly a waste.

This point was beyond doubt: the Primordial Dao Fruit was a supreme achievement. Each one could be ranked among innate treasures, and its value was no less than that of a top-tier divine artifact.

The captain waved his hand and replied, "Leave my portion for you all; ask Tiger-Lion and Meteor if they want to eat."

However, they could never have imagined that Xiao Feng had come to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion purely to obtain spirit stones, and incidentally, to let Ye Chen and Luo Xuan see the world.

Chen Xueshan leaned into my chest as she spoke. She no longer dared to go to the company, for if it became known that she was pregnant without a boyfriend, her colleagues would surely have plenty to gossip about.

The leader replied, "Actually, this is my second time serving as the leader of my people. I voluntarily stepped down once in the middle and was only re-elected last year."

"Can I speak with them for a moment?" Lin Rui gestured toward the boys who had been preparing to attack earlier.

"First, fists and kicks have no eyes, and it is hard to guarantee there won't be any injuries, so I hope this exchange will not be limited to 'stopping at the point of contact'." Jin Yuanbao retracted one finger.

I received information that the ghost that devoured Shao Zhong was in the western mountain range. Since I happened to be heading west to find Xiao Long, it was on my way.

This led Xu Feng to notice something fishy; it seemed there was a history between Lan'er and this man in gold, otherwise, they wouldn't be so agitated.

She had originally intended to let her try dating when she started university, provided, of course, that she kept herself safe.

As soon as Fan Chongyi saw Lu Dalang, he understood who the annoying person Lin Xian had spoken of before the Emperor was.

"Don't be angry; I am merely adding a few bargaining chips to our marriage," Chu Hui said softly.

Situ Moran hurriedly raised his foot and kicked her away with such force that she slammed into the opposite wall, causing blood to surge and a mouthful to spray from her lips.

Just as Yun Xiu hesitated, the Gou woman, thinking he was displeased with these common pastries, asked him about it.

"It's nothing, I was just curious. Looking at him at the time, I thought he wasn't worried at all; I didn't expect him to run into the door the moment he turned around." Father Song laughed heartily.

Yun Niang, who had just been praising Yun Xiu for being sensible, couldn't help but burst into laughter when she looked at him, realizing he was still just an eight-year-old child.

Yue Xixie was being eroded day by day by that wicked poison; Feng Jing harbored the hatred of losing his home and family, longing to restore his kingdom; while Luan Xishi sought to rise suddenly in the midst of troubled times.

Tang Xiao was not afraid of those sitting before him, but he feared those behind the scenes who might cause trouble; many had their eyes on the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Now that there was a loophole in the Public Security Bureau, one couldn't expect those people to put out the fire; one could only hope they wouldn't add fuel to the flames.

"What? All these rooms are filled with Saint-grade pills?" the three members of the Sun lineage exclaimed in unison.

"Yun Tianlan." She called out to him, looking down from above with her arms folded across her chest, leaning against the white stone railing.

Hearing the fat man ask this question, my heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that the fat man knew about the relationship between Zhang Yue and me? Could the messages Zhang Yue sent me have been discovered by the fat man? It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? Thinking of these things, I felt somewhat nervous and took a deep breath, leaning against the wall to continue listening.

This could still be considered forgivable and redeemable, but if one remained silent at this point, pretending that nothing had happened, that would be a slap in the face—that would be a lack of respect. It would no longer be a matter of attitude, but a matter of principle.

The oversized floor-to-ceiling television made it convenient to play games and watch shows; the extra-wide, large leather sofa allowed him to lie down and sleep whenever he was tired. Most importantly, Zhang Leifeng had even placed a snack cabinet next to the coffee table—it was simply a perfect design.

Qin Yang couldn't quite fathom Hu Kai's thoughts for a moment; he didn't know if there was anything else hidden behind his obviously enthusiastic words. After all, it was absolutely impossible for Hongqi Township to develop the way it had without the backing of some powerful figures in the county.
