Volume 1, Chapter 38: A Feast for the Eyes

She had no intention of interfering; after all, in the entire Zhao household, the only people with whom she had any real connection were Zhao Huan and the family patriarch, Zhao Hong. Getting the two of them out was all she had set out to do.

However, I had already won ten rounds in a row over there, and having just sat down here, I guessed the "leopard" correctly twice in a row. If this were just luck, it would be impossible to justify; even if the ancestral graves were emitting blue smoke, it wouldn't account for this.

Fu Zhennan felt he had made a grave mistake and was locked in a room, slapping his own face desperately.

In the quiet of the dead night, the park was chilled by a cold lake breeze. Five meters away, a car rocked back and forth in the darkness with a rhythmic creaking sound.

That weeping woman—it was clear from the start she was looking for trouble, despite her pretense of helping them resolve the situation.

Zheng Sixin displayed an extremely elegant humility, and there was not a trace of affectation in it.

"Hand over the corpse in the car and I'll let you go; otherwise, you'll become corpses yourselves," the man said, spitting out a puff of smoke and speaking indifferently.

The old monk on Mount Qingyun continued his chanting as usual, as if nothing had happened. Murong Lidong brought out a bowl of ginger soup, yet despite it being called ginger soup, half the bowl was filled with jujube meat and longans.

After sitting for over an hour, it happened to be lunchtime. The Empress Dowager felt the hand warmer she was holding was no longer very hot, so she called out.

Watching the dense swarm of spiritual swords flying toward him, Chen Wuji had a thousand curses running through his mind; there was no such thing as fighting so unfairly.

Looking downward, although the space was deep and dark, it clearly led to somewhere; there was actually another exit here.

Diana was speechless, so she simply ran to Ron to complain. Ron, naturally, would not punish Winona, but he knew how to resolve the matter. A short while later, as Diana moaned beneath him, she had already forgotten the incident entirely.

Judging by Lin Yang's tone, he seemed very familiar with Chen Jialin. I told him we were right here and asked if it would be inconvenient.

Fortunately, Long Tian had prepared for the worst from the beginning, which was why he was not caught off guard when the Demon King's divine sense appeared.

"How are you?" Zhao Xia poured the white liquor she had specially bought for Jing Jian, pulled up a chair, and sat close to him.

"Bramble, do you have any specific requirements for the promotion?" Shirley asked with a smile. The business was concluded, and now it was time for idle chatter.

The angrier Liu Cuiyun became at Lu Rong, the more advantageous it was for Jian Ning. She was happy to pull up a chair and watch the show.

"Steve, Mackay! Good to see you!" As soon as they got off the plane, they ran into two acquaintances. Their situations were much like Jim's, so the three of them shared a knowing smile; after all, investors were hard to find, and they might well become competitors in the coming days.

"You!" Tashigi thought Simon was mocking her, but in reality, Simon truly did not know what rank a sergeant held.

Days later, the caravan finally left the Tianlan Empire and entered the outskirts of the Borderless Ice Plains. The biting cold wind easily pierced through the fur-covered vehicles. Fortunately, except for Meimei and a few others, most were spiritual cultivators, and the Luo family had long since stocked up on plenty of anti-cold spiritual pills, so for the time being, everyone remained unaffected.

Hua Shangxue snorted coldly and looked away, refusing to argue with the young man. Besides, Jiang Yunxian had just brought people back, and with the boy now having the advantage in numbers, she wasn't foolish enough to fight.

By the time Xintong truly had nowhere left to go, the nine Martial Emperors of the Nine Dragon Miracle Mountain would have mostly recovered and would be able to protect her.

Amaya, a princess of the Cloud Sky Kingdom, felt a strong hatred for Zhao Yan out of concern for her sister, and upon discovering the exceptionally well-hidden Flame City, she naturally grew deeply suspicious of him.

However, Zhao Yan did not forget his priorities; he knew well which matters were more important at this moment. He didn't stay up too late and went to bed. Tomorrow's final was critical; he couldn't afford not to sleep. Although his research wasn't complete, Zhao Yan felt he was very close.

"I think you're the one who needs a lesson. If you're not convinced, shall we have a fight?" Feng Ruo challenged. This time, it was Bai Yujin's turn to back down, and he waved his hand at Hua Shangxue with reluctance.

This was not Hao City, but Li City, over five hundred miles away from Hao City, located near the border of the Yue State.

"Liu Bai, why are you here? Do you have something to report?" Liu Bai was Liu An's grandson and was responsible for the estate's procurement. He rarely appeared before his masters, so his sudden arrival here was quite suspicious.

Seeing the man charge over, Bai Qinghe stopped in his tracks, turned, and stepped back, shattering the blue bricks on the ground with his feet.

"Aside from that tiny bit of awkwardness, everything is fine!" Xia Lan said, her eyes shimmering with something unreadable. It was clear she was in a very good mood.

However, Ling Xiao was incredibly formidable; as a peak Void-Breaking Realm expert, he managed to unleash a layer of golden astral energy to block the attack of the giant azure palm.

"Fool, if it didn't come from Master Liang's hands, could it have come from yours?" someone sneered.

He had long anticipated the enemy's arrival; heavy weapons were already set up, and the warships were in a state of constant readiness. The enemy had entered the laboratory, broken the seal, and provoked the wrath controlled by the forces behind them. If they dared to descend here, they could expect to be targeted by Aier's heavy weaponry.

Bullets collided head-on with the water column. Lin Xuan saw everything clearly: the moment the bullets hit the water, the fire was extinguished, and the True Essence attached to the bullets vanished. The water column struck Dongfang Chu, causing all the flames on his body to disappear.

"I do, of course I do. You're a rich tycoon, so I'll just treat it as 'slaying the rich'." Deng Yanyu snatched the set of cosmetics away.

After days of exploration, Yi Fan had confirmed the safe zones on the first level of the Beixuan Secret Realm, and he had laid out a series of geomantic traps in the dangerous areas so that he would know immediately if there were any changes.

This was the otherworldly forest carried by the ancient castle—a massive, primeval forest reserved for non-human inhabitants.

Ye Ye and Gong Bin chuckled, apologized to the three large black men in English, which caused the three men to wave their hands and shake their heads in humble trepidation.

"The Pandora virus is a computer virus—a super-virus capable of destroying the world's entire computer network!" Chen Ming's voice trembled as he spoke, his eyes revealing an indescribable terror.

Tao Xian felt a wave of hesitation. He read the email repeatedly, then his eyes suddenly lit up. It didn't matter. The meeting was at three in the afternoon. Zhang Xiaoi shouldn't take long to talk. Once she finished and left, he could still make it to the airport.
