Volume 1, Chapter 34: A Suspected Miscarriage?

"Fatty, you are quite familiar with the capital; help me scout out the best renovation company. I need to remodel a manor," Xia Haoran said calmly.

This brocade box was the final clue within the entire immortal cave, apart from the four murals. However, Xia Haoran could not yet be certain of what was sealed inside, and he dared not rashly break the seal to open it.

As the palace lanterns were lit, a cold breeze blew against her face. Xing'er shuddered, unable to stop herself from shivering. She looked up to see a pitch-black night sky without a single star; the moon had hidden itself away somewhere, and the wind was growing stronger. Was the weather about to turn?

Rong Yu knew this fellow was not vulgar at all. Don't let his seemingly boorish and careless appearance fool you; if you truly took him for a simple-minded brute, you would be wildly mistaken.

"You poked my forehead with a paper airplane, so I'm taking one!" Rong Yu took a piece of corn candy.

Cheng Jiaru smiled. He knew things were certainly not that simple. Even though it looked like just a copper bell, there were many intricacies involved; it wasn't as if one could just take any piece of copper, fashion it into a bell, and sell it for so much money.

"The private invitation from Portuguese President Soares and the formal invitations from the Portuguese Prime Minister and Social Democratic Party Chairman Silva have already arrived." She held a fax in her hand, along with a state visit invitation issued on behalf of the Portuguese Consulate in Hong Kong.

Only when encountering entities that brothers from the Ninth Bureau like Ye Shanhe had already resolved, or when Xia Haoran felt it was worth his personal intervention, would he take decisive action.

The two spoke of plain, unseasoned matters, using wine to adjust the flavor of the conversation. They ate until the moonlight appeared, still feeling a sense of lingering desire for more.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zixian thought this young manager was truly devious, deliberately emphasizing the fourth tone of the word "explode."

"Yes, I am not lying to you! Your man is indeed dead, but can you still answer that question for me?" I asked again.

Chen Guoxun suddenly realized that even speaking with Ning Yanbo was easier than facing Qin Chen.

Qin Chen’s predecessor had a certain foundation, and not only had Qin Chen absorbed and accepted these skills, but thanks to Qin Jiuxuan's monstrous mental capacity, they had also begun to evolve on their own.

These youths who had hitched a ride with Sang Ruo to enter the second stage did not yet know where they were, but as soon as they saw Sang Ruo, they were reminded of the terror of seeing him eat someone alive just moments before.

"Perhaps one day, you will truly understand: if success is achieved at the cost of hurting one's family, then such success is not worth it. I would rather not have it," Cheng Nuo said sternly.

By the time they reached the mountainside, it was very late. The bone-chilling mountain wind blew as if it could freeze one's blood. Seeing that Xiao Yingying’s clothes were tattered and could not shield her from the cold, Shangguan Yun took off his outer garment and draped it over her. Ke Qingqing was quite displeased to see this, but she said nothing.

Lu Min did not know at first why this person was striking up a conversation, but as he listened, a complex expression appeared on his face.

Why didn't she think of a way while at the bank? It wasn't long before she obtained Hao Er’s password. How did she get it? It was simple: Hao Er was a filial son who would surely keep the password in the place he considered safest, which was in the hands of his mother. As for how she tricked it out of her, that was their family business.

"What good is it to talk a big game? Whether you can fight or not is only known after a brawl. Scabby Liu, quit being so arrogant." Big Head Sun refused to lose the momentum and retorted.

Just then, the dozens of cultivators behind, including Wu Wanfei and others, slowly arrived at the platform. Seeing this bloody scene, they were all struck with terror.

Did he even understand what he was facing? The Grim Reaper Guild, equivalent to four Wizard Saints, was one of the four top-tier powers among the countless dark guilds, known as Raven Tail.

"Got it. Cao Cao, keep an eye on my position and provide support at any time!" Gai Shi Tai Bao said. It was quite nerve-wracking for him to use a Tier 1 tank like the T1.

Seeing Penny leave, Ye Fei pondered whether to follow her or stay behind to meet this man.

Of course, at this hour, everything was pitch black, and the Phoenix could not possibly have captured his sinister gaze.

Countless guesses surged through my mind, flowing through a powerful web of thought, only to be dismissed one by one.

At this moment, Xue Xiaotong thought, even if she didn't call, she should have come to urge him. Had something really happened? Before the call connected, he thought this as a matter of course, and his body tensed even more.

According to my current memory, I only know that it was my soul from two lifetimes ago that found my past self on Earth, and has now found me in this current life.

It let out a scream, and then the pet bird's body ignited in flames. With painful, wretched cries, its form gradually turned to ash.

"Don't mention it, fellow Daoist. When my senior brother and I first saw this formation, we were also greatly astonished. Fortunately, we had the Bright-Milli Mirror; otherwise, we truly wouldn't have been able to discern it," Ye Wenda said with a slight smile.

Before long, they had moved out of sight, and the group of burly men quickly dove into the Bentley. After a few breaths, they turned around and drove away, disappearing from the public eye.

Hua Xiangjun pursed her lips slightly and smiled, saying: "The general trend is gone, and the dream has ended. That Empress Dowager ancestor naturally has a heart full of regrets with nowhere to vent—from now on, she can never again command the winds and rain or manipulate others."

He had not expected that the Phoenix Force would be ignited so easily, but upon reflection, it was normal. The intensity of the Phoenix Force's desire to reunite into a complete entity was beyond his imagination; its earlier strategy of surrounding without attacking was the truly strange part.

"Let's go." Li Shaofan smiled and nodded. Since he had run into this matter, he had to do something, or else he would feel a knot in his heart, extremely uncomfortable.

After careful deliberation, the Daoist Ancestor Hongjun made a decision. Little did he know that because of this very decision, he would pay a price that he could never recover in this lifetime.
