Chapter 49
Hearing these words, Benjamin could not help but sigh, wondering if all generals were cut from the exact same cloth. When they wanted to die, they rushed to it blindly, their minds entirely rigid.
Therefore, during these days, Li Xingru's life had been exceptionally carefree, with her talent agency treating her like a revered deity.
Planning to go into town to sell grain today, she fabricated an excuse early in the morning about visiting her aunt and left the house.
"Alas... Seriously! How am I supposed to explain this to them! Hmph! I'll drop in for a surprise inspection in a moment and see where you can hide!" Although Liu Jingjing still wore a smiling face on the surface, deep down she was churning with profound impatience, and in her desperation, she prepared to leave.
At this moment, a young man wearing a black T-shirt, with earphones hanging around his neck and listening to music, dropped his coin into the slot and walked in.
Sun Ling offered a feeble defense before lunging back into the fray, and after taking a few punches, he finally managed to pull the two apart with great difficulty.
He was an ordinary man in his thirties, extremely slender, dressed in a black robe, with a complexion as pale as someone suffering from a severe illness. He gave off a sickly vibe from head to toe, appearing exceptionally frail.
Although he had once been a prince of the Great Zhou, he was now the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, and he owed a greater responsibility to the people of the Chen Kingdom rather than forsaking his millions of subjects for some illusory past life. Besides, the current Prince Rui was someone else entirely; if Sima Ruiyuan himself did not care, why should he?
He was unaware, however, that after the three brothers had raped, murdered, and fled, they had simply buried their dead brother hastily on the spot—how could they possibly have sent him to a funeral parlor?
Eating something that one was allergic to, and in a portion that far exceeded one's appetite, was naturally no simple task.
"In reply to the Third Madam, no one instructed this humble servant to do this. It's just that, this humble servant heard that the Third Madam and the Third Master had returned, so, so..." Too nervous to continue.
However, no matter how terrifyingly their cultivation realms progressed—even if they eventually attained divinity—the fierce beasts of the East China Sea remained mere beasts in their "intelligence," let alone possessing the ability to speak human words or transform into human form.
"No problem, Mr. Wen, please rest assured. We will definitely take good care of Teacher Ni!" The old village chief patted his chest in assurance.
Ye Han simply sat quietly, the expression on his face resembling the thousand-year-old frost atop a snow-capped mountain. Everyone simply watched him in silence, not daring to speak.
The 4WD fighter broadcasted the latest race conditions, announcing that all cars had entered the final lap and were making a full-out sprint.
The Xuanyuan Sword, for which the deities of the Three Realms vied so desperately, was now in my hands; the peerless Overlord Spear that once dominated the world had vanished without a trace following the fall of the Demon God Chi You; and the legendary, most mystical Heavenly Demon Qin had never once appeared in this mortal realm throughout the millennia, existing only within the myths of the gods.
"Granny, since your business is doing so well, why don't you make a few more buckets of bamboo shoots every day?" Ye Linghan asked.
After figuring out these truths, I suddenly felt that perhaps leaving this place was the most correct choice.
Behold, the massive Ursaring's eyes were wide with panic as it frantically flailed its powerful claws, charging blindly along the path as if something terrifying were right behind it, so terrified it didn't even dare to look back. What on earth could possibly strike such terror into the overlord of the dense forest?
Lin Zhe and Lin Miao were still carrying lanterns in their hands, startled by the incoming laughter. This graveyard was a forbidden family ground, and apart from the daily patrol personnel, absolutely no one should be present here, let on during such the dead of night.
"Not only do I know him, but I also crossed paths with him back then. At that time, we were both at the adept level, and my cultivation was much like yours now." Xingyun gazed forward, seemingly recalling the past.
"Hmph!" Kicking Chen Tianju, who had melted into a pile of mush, to the side, the burly man finally snatched the briefcase that haunted his dreams and anxiously flipped it open.
Perhaps an accident occurred when Qin Bo's soul escaped into the Holy Spirit Pearl, or perhaps he was stabbed in the back while conspiring with the Monkey King to usurp Qin Meng's physical body. In any case, Qin Bo's soul had already been devoured by the Monkey King's spiritual essence, inheriting Qin Bo's memories and knowledge.
After careful calculation by the Big Dipper, relying on the Burst Bracelet and those fifty thousand mana points, Chen Tianju estimated it would take only about a month to completely rid himself of his weak physique and become a future powerhouse with infinite possibilities.
At this thought, she lowered her head and gathered the child into her arms, her tears once again flowing uncontrollably.
The Thirteenth Princess turned her head to look at the plump woman, her whole body flashing with golden light so brilliant it practically blinded everyone present.
Hum! A violent gale materialized out of nowhere on the ground of the Demon Soul Forest, the fierce wind generated by the massive attack buffeting Long Yang, making his clothes flutter violently as if about to be torn apart.
The sloppy old man chuckled heartily, completely disregarding the high heat as he grabbed a roasted mutton chop that was still sizzling with oil and feasted on it voraciously.
Skinny Monkey was quite generous; having followed behind Lin Jingyi for so long, he truly looked down on these one or two hundred thousand RMB, and casually handed over a stack of 1.67 million in cash to him.
He was dressed in a tight black bodysuit, his sharp blue cat-like eyes gleaming brightly. His handsome, fair-cheeked face was identical to a human's, a pair of cat ears atop his head flickered continuously, and a long black tail swayed restlessly behind him.
Yet just as she took her first bite, she sensed something approaching from behind, and immediately prayed in her heart that it wouldn't be a human, as she had no desire to harm the innocent.
Xia Anhao had truly been in agony before, but the situation was genuinely different now—not the same at all.
