Volume One, Chapter 48: Technology and Ruthless Resolve

Lowering her head where no one else could see, Wang Wandi curved the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Let's go, I'll see you back," Cheng Xu said indifferently, doing this entirely for the sake of his beloved wife.

Xiang Zheng had originally intended to drive her back herself, but she had just experienced a bout of pregnancy sickness and was feeling rather unwell.

"There you go, good girl. Here, have a candied fruit," Lu Wu said, opening his palm to reveal a piece of dried fruit resting right in the middle.

Jian Yiyun put away all the unpleasant emotions brought on by the preceding series of events, leaving only the familiar smile she reserved solely for Wen Youheng.

However, many matters are better addressed sooner rather than later, and I do not view this as a misstep on his part; rather, it vividly reflects his keen sensitivity to the environment and his characteristically sharp analysis of the situation. Therefore, even though we find ourselves at a complete disadvantage at this moment, I still believe Gu Xi will prevail in his own time.

I was so angry I laughed out loud. He kept tossing around the phrase "my person" as if such a relationship actually existed between us.

Everyone encountered along the way wore a look of utter astonishment upon catching sight of the wooden board behind Xiao Chen. Some even let out low gasps, though under the stern and warning gazes of the guards, no one dared to discuss it openly.

Yet there was a difference. Even though his features remained indistinct, one could easily perceive that his silhouette was a full circle broader and taller than the youth in the painting. She wanted to open her mouth and ask why he was here, but try as she might, no sound escaped her lips.

Ling Yefeng gazed calmly at Wu Gang, wondering how much longer the man before him would hesitate. If it took too much time, it would mean he lacked even the slightest shred of sincerity.

A flicker of surprise crossed my mind. So when Lin Zihan claimed Song Cheng was her cousin, it turned out to be true after all—only he wasn't a blood relative, but rather a convenient relation she had picked up along the way.

Ever since her father passed away, she and her mother had depended entirely on each other. No matter what happened, she had to rely solely on herself, with no one else to lean on or expect support from.

I cast a glance at the first-aid kit on the table, swallowing back the refusal that had risen to my lips; otherwise, he would inevitably scold me for not knowing what's good for me. Since I had just been rescued by him and we were now alone together, it was best to provoke him as little as possible.

The massive black door transformed from the Demonic Profound Pearl creaked open, churning with dark winds. A surge of black Qi gushed forth, spraying directly onto the partially thawed black cocoon, adding several thick layers to its surface before enveloping it and flying back into the door.

Liu Dingtian was struck by a sudden whim to craft another fish-skin garment. Although those fish skins came merely from level-one demonic beasts, they were more than enough to make clothing.

Watching Cheng Gang act with such generosity, Zhu Mingyi felt deeply suspicious, wondering inwardly what kind of mischief Cheng Gang was plotting. Why else would he be parting with his money so lavishly?

Upon obtaining such intelligence, Chen Lin naturally wished to gain a deeper understanding of Xue Dan's father, Xue Zheng. He posed this question to the Super Sharing System, but the system indicated that since the scan was not performed on Xue Zheng himself, the gathered information was limited to this extent and could not be extended any further.

The moment he stepped through the company gates, Xu Xinpeng came up to greet him. Qin Ming felt a touch of surprise; apart from his very first day when Xu had guided him into the company, he had practically been coming and going alone ever since.

Chen Lin felt a lingering sense of guilt about this. During his hospitalization, the Escort Department had been at its busiest, and now that the department was finally established, the executive assistant hired by Yuan Shu was unquestionably a capable individual. As a director, he had not been fulfilling his duties adequately.

This stunt pulled by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce certainly captured everyone's attention, drawing a massive crowd of mercenaries to make purchases. Meanwhile, the regular release of fifty bottles per shichen within the market only served to stoke the competitive spirit of those who arrived late.

Carrying hundreds of millions of years of resentment from the people of the Southern Frontier, the evil spirit voiced the heartfelt cries of the Great Khan. Its form shifted once more: the white skin turned brown, then shifted to tea-colored, and as the evil spirit plunged its hands into the earth, the entire sky-continent was hoisted aloft by a colossal evil entity a moment later.
