Volume 1, Chapter 51: It Is Better to Remain Strangers
"Ha! What kind of young marshal is he..."
Chu Zhenhai walked in from outside, strode up to Qu Pan, faced Chu Hanliang, and said loudly.
"Eldest brother, you have already voluntarily stepped down from your post. Why are you still parading around under the false banner of the young marshal to bluff and deceive?"
Chu Hanliang had eyes only for his wife and child. He took Chu Xiaoman from Qu Pan's arms. The family of three stood in perfect harmony and sync, making Chu Zhenhai, who was talking to himself, look like a clown jumping for attention.
Qiuju blocked Chu Zhenhai's path, preventing him from coming within half a step of Qu Pan, and said with her hands on her hips, "From the moment our young master entered this door until now, he has never claimed to be the young marshal, nor has he ever mentioned that his surname is Chu. Yet here you are, chattering endlessly. Do you have any shame?"
Being a little maid...
From then on, the name of the Saint of Frost Dragon would likely echo across all manner of medium chiliads of worlds, passed down in legends forever.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Zhang Yang arrived at the classroom early as usual, completely unaffected by the recommendation event, and continued to review his lessons with single-minded devotion and a clear mind.
The boys roared in a frenzy, and instead of passively taking the beating, they began to fight back against the hoodlums.
Just as the voice fell, Ye Tian's cell phone suddenly rang. Ye Tian took it out and saw that the call was coming from the office.
Inside the city, Shi Wanting and Ye Lin had just landed, preparing to send a message to Wan Liu, the elders of the Yuntian Sect who were undergoing the Tribulation, and the others.
Seeing Ye Tian and Zhuang Mengdie return, the Siamese cat immediately dropped its ball of yarn, let out a soft meow, and leaped into Zhuang Mengdie's arms.
"You mean... this auction was actually initiated by Wang Lifeng, who is behind him?" Zhang Yang suddenly understood.
"Mao-ge is mighty!" Lion Tooth praised immediately upon seeing Lion Fur showing no intention of pursuing further.
Lei Chou's internal spiritual power was constantly shifting, gradually approaching the realm of the Nascent Soul stage. The golden core within his body had shattered and was now in the process of reforming.
"Hey, you surnamed Ji, where did you take my son?" As soon as the call went through, Ning Lengzhi asked anxiously, her voice laced with panic.
Seeing the familiar Sixth Son make his move, Chen Xin was somewhat shocked. Various combat techniques once again refreshed his understanding of combat, and the sheer power he displayed left him tongue-tied.
Yun Yue let out a furious roar, his entire body bristling, and almost out of pure instinct, he smashed his fist directly into the robust man's crotch.
Following the direction of her pointed finger, Song Chengyu couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. He saw that the chandelier on the wall happened to have two affectionate flies on it.
Upon hearing Qianceng Huaqi's words, Uchiha Ao's brow furrowed slightly before he spoke in a cold voice.
To be honest, if other members of the Uzumaki clan were to see Uzumaki Seto's current appearance, they would undoubtedly be utterly shocked.
At this moment, Wei Ninger picked up her chopsticks unhurriedly, picked up a piece of meat that had turned yellowish, and popped it into her mouth.
The reason this manor had transformed into such a lavish appearance was probably to attract "thieves" like her who wanted to scavenge something from it, only for them to end up devoured by that blood demon.
His battle cry was amplified dozens of times by the loudhailer, and the people present who had already given up hope all turned to look at him.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say this Dark Hunter had no thoughts of running away. However, he knew very well that while this young man looked amiable right now, he showed no hesitation whatsoever when it came to killing.
However, although Chen Xin appeared increasingly at ease under Li Haochi's punches, there was still a huge hidden danger: the state of operating at full capacity placed an immense burden on Chen Xin.
"Why aren't we staying together in the neighboring rooms?" Cui Huimin asked a bit unnaturally. As soon as she walked in, she felt an indescribable atmosphere here, and now the four of them were living in separate rooms. Thinking about it made her genuinely a bit scared, given that it was a completely unfamiliar place.
As a fellow good partner, Xia Huaisheng wore an expression of utter helplessness. After all, the other party was a shareholder and investor, and compared to himself, they held absolute decision-making power. He was merely working for them, so there was no way he could argue for anything.
The old man's eyes split with fury as he propped up a defensive barrier and kept retreating. He walked over to Dumu Qing, felt the pulse on her neck, and let out a sigh of relief upon discovering she was merely heavily injured and unconscious. Immediately afterward, the old man's anger surged to new heights, and he launched a frenzied attack on his opponent, throwing the other party into utter chaos.
Lu You even felt a yearning for the Earth of the past. What kind of magnificent spectacle was it hundreds of thousands of years ago? There was the undersea palace he had visited before, the immensely powerful Qingqing, golden dragons of that caliber, and places like the Kunlun Immortal Realm.
Jumping into the air, Meng Qi switched to holding the axe with both hands, his entire body arching into a C-shape. His legs kicked backward to gain momentum, while his hands grasped the Soul-Shattering Axe, swinging it high over the back of his head, and hacked fiercely toward the monkey's head with an unstoppable, mountain-splitting momentum.
At this moment, Old Third Li's voice sounded from outside once again, rattling off a long string of family names, which temporarily defused the hair-trigger atmosphere inside the room.
"My brother and I still have matters to attend to, so we won't disturb the old man's rest any longer." With that, barefooted, he pulled Mu Cheng away from the bamboo hut.
What is this? Being a worker for capitalists surely shouldn't be as important, passionate, or dramatic as saving humanity, right? But why on earth was he left without any helpers?
"There you have it. As long as Lanlan agrees, things will be much easier. Hurry up and go visit your prospective parents-in-law." The breakfast auntie threw Gao Qing the most difficult problem he had ever faced. Visit the prospective parents-in-law? What kind of ideas were these? At most, he and Lanlan were just dating right now; they hadn't reached the stage of marriage talks at all.
The servants wanted to laugh but didn't dare, forcing themselves to hold it in desperately. Mu Cheng had also calmed down by now. Seeing Mei Ziyun and the mute servant walk out of the courtyard's main gates, she felt a splitting headache.
Only a few seconds after Mu Xin's call went out, Xia Yatong answered it. As it happened, Xia Yatong had just taken out her phone to check the time, and Mu Xin's call came in right at that moment.
She lay on her side on the ground. Her upper body was identical to a human's, completely bare, with her cascading hair just covering the crucial parts. Her hair was soft and smooth, her expression beautiful and serene, and her innocent eyes, seemingly untainted by the mortal world, looked with curiosity at Xia Ya outside the glass.
"Sister, even if I die, I don't want to be controlled by those stinky men." Upon hearing Huo Yunsha's plan, Lin Caiwei turned pale with fright.
Lin Ye remained unhurried, dodging the attack with a sliding tackle while simultaneously raising his shotgun and blasting it directly in the head.
Jing Ning had no idea what Su Lin was thinking. In any case, since this man had said the person was of no consequence, then they truly were of no consequence.
