Chapter 58: Xu Ya's Ex-Husband

"You are..."

Under the direct gazes of several pairs of eyes, the person removed his hat and slowly raised his head.

"Eldest brother, second brother, long time no see."

In the basement of the Mu family residence, Xu Ya waited anxiously.

She had no idea how long she had been locked up here. As an elder madam of the Mu family who possessed power, status, and prestige, she was accustomed to getting almost anything she desired.

When had she ever suffered such mistreatment?

In her youth, Xu Ya had tasted—

No wonder he repeatedly muttered that he was unworthy of her, yet still insisted on bestowing the princess upon him.

Wang Huan sped up, and Ning Feng began to accelerate as well. At this moment, Ning Feng felt as though his legs were filled with an endless reservoir of strength; his light-as-a-feather body combined with rapidly churning legs made him feel as if he could take flight.

Soul-sealing? A vegetative state? A lotus? Right, he suddenly recalled the four characters written on the note Yuan Min had given him: Sacred Lotus Purifying Water! Could it be that the soul-sealing curse was undone by the Sacred Lotus Purifying Water?

Chaozi chuckled dryly. "No one who holds it ever meets a good end." He added, "I read that sentence in the manuscripts left behind by my father."

The heat from the burning long incense forced the centipede that had burrowed into Chaozi's body to begin struggling and retreating outward, but its plump belly made its movement appear extremely arduous, and the sight of its writhing body and countless twitching feelers was enough to make one's skin crawl.

No matter how one looked at it, Xu Zheng could not escape the fate of going to the battlefield. As the commander suppressing the bandits, leading the troops to resist the Japanese pirates was a task that fell squarely on his shoulders.

This sudden scolding left Wang Dachuan somewhat dumbfounded. What—what was the meaning of this? It seemed he hadn't provoked Zhou Lisheng at all. Why was his tone so aggressive?

The First Elder was not an indecisive person, but whenever a family or a sect developed to a certain stage, it was bound to encounter all sorts of troubles.

The pavilion master's rules were likewise extremely advantageous to Li Mu; summoning a one-star minion using a three-star energy card was simply effortless, and if he ran short, he could swap energy cards at any time, since Li Mu didn't care about such things anyway.

Fu Xueqing cast a peculiar, scrutinizing glance at Chen Xuan, her astute gaze seeming capable of piercing right through him.

Xiuhai gave a definitive answer, and Mo Ranshan and Ying Xi exchanged glances, vanishing into the night club in the blink of an eye.

As for Zhou Qinchan himself, seeing that Su Yourong truly couldn't keep up, in that critical moment he cast aside all notions of etiquette, pulled her into his arms, and amidst her cries of alarm hoisted her over his shoulder, broke into a sprint, and charged off in pursuit of the donkey.

The giant dragon roared furiously, and the "Gate" of Nibelungen slowly closed. The dragon attendants dispersed throughout White Emperor City, plunging into silence as they awaited the next surge of the tide.

She had left behind a talisman three days ago, buried beneath the dust—the key to opening the "Rift," which she had spent three full days successfully preparing.

This sensation was not the spiritual perception brought about by an abundance of one's own true essence, but rather the direct result of a strengthening soul.

Although it was unclear what those prospective applicants were truly thinking, it was undeniable that the East Sakura Special District Joint Valkyrie Academy enjoyed immense popularity among supernatural academies within the region.

So much time had passed, and the truth of the matter remained largely unknown. Perhaps within the Demon League, only a handful of individuals understood the nuances of that hidden past. That forgotten history would surely see the light of day once again someday.

The Huo family had their own hospital, but the equipment was immediately dispatched to Doctor Bai's medical team.

Yet the situation was different now; Gangyue directed its own bombardment, leaving no opportunity whatsoever to obstruct the peerless aura.

The Yangxiang tribe was a faction upon the battlefield, and there ought to be eight such tribes in total; all of them were enemies of Earth's martial artists.

"Don't rush, don't rush... You rest here for a moment. Since we can't flag one down here, I'll go try over there." Lu Chen smiled as he pulled Shen Xiyan beneath a tree, then turned and walked toward the parking lot.

"Since that's the case, I've decided to leave this matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint my expectations, or else next time, I won't assign you any tasks!" Lin萧 said with utmost coldness to Iron Arm on the other end of the phone.

Wu Zejun sneered. "Hmph, keep dreaming. Handing you over to the Demon Emperor is a grand achievement, and this girl will serve as a bonus for this lord. Today, I'll experience a double blessing." With that, Wu Zejun lunged forward to capture the two of them.

Wearing the number 8 jersey, Fang Yan displayed a fierce attacking desire. Just three minutes into the match, Fang Yan completed a steal in the frontcourt, broke into the penalty area, dribbled past a defender, shifted laterally to carve out a half-step of space, and unleashed a furious shot as he turned.

At this moment, an image finally flickered onto the computer screen: Lu Chen was carrying Zhao Min in his arms horizontally, his face buried in the crook of her neck, as they walked out of the bathroom. The speakers broadcasted Zhao Min's spine-chilling, soul-stirring cries of delight.

Subsequently, Chu Yun personally entered the kitchen. Noticing some Pacific saury in the refrigerator, he took them out directly. The fish meat was tender and flavorful; although rich, it possessed no greasy sensation whatsoever, making it particularly suitable as an accompaniment to alcohol.

After about five minutes, Lu Chen had yet to return, but a black Cherokee pulled up by the roadside, sounding its horn with a series of "beep, beep" noises.

Feng Xiaohhe gritted his teeth in secret, hardened his heart, and exerted force with his feet, intentionally crashing toward Lu Chen with the deliberate intent of causing trouble.

"I have already said that the drugs provided by Xiao's Pharmaceuticals to the Southern Hospital are genuine, every single one of them is real, and there are no falsified components whatsoever. Therefore, Manager Yang, your report is unfounded, and Xiao's Pharmaceuticals reserves the right to sue you!" Prosecutor Ji remained unmoved, speaking with utter indifference.

"Kill him!!!" From a thousand meters away, a powerhouse of the Gathering Summit realm roared toward the sky, the great saber in his hand abruptly lengthening like a celestial blade, spanning a kilometer to slash directly at Jiang Dong.

It wasn't just the Beasts Pirates; perhaps the Fire Dragon Pirates and all the allied pirate crews under its banner had been completely wiped out in this earth-shattering explosion in Wano Country.

"We have all the ingredients. If you want to eat more, I'll just make them next time. Isn't that simple?" Mo Ran glanced at Jifeng's empty plate.
