Volume One, Chapter 39: Battling the Dark Wolf

Tonight, Mu Wanqing felt she had been utterly defeated. Although Ji Shuyu had nothing, in the private room just now, she seemed to possess everything.

Ji Shuyu jolted awake, lifting her head from Gu Beiting’s chest. She leaned in quickly, turned on her phone’s flashlight, and shone it directly onto his face. She knew Lu Jinchen couldn’t possibly appear here, but she had never expected Gu Beiting to be the one present.

"You..." Ye Huan was completely stunned. The sweeping monk had actually identified the Human Emperor Scripture he was cultivating—a secret manual passed down by immortals and a treasure handed down through generations in the Xiaoyao Sect. How could a mere sweeping monk know of it?

"Boss!" Sheng Yuanqing looked at Xiong Baizhou, and in his agitation, he blurted out that title in front of outsiders.

What? Shi Heng stared at Qingmang, frozen for a moment, until he saw the mischievous smile at the corner of her lips that she could no longer suppress, and he finally understood. Meanwhile, his "Young Master Heng," who was always stern-faced, wore a faint yet gentle smile.

"Shaoyuan, perhaps... I shouldn't go to your mother’s house today. Could you take these back for me?" On the way to buy flowers, the more Li Hui thought about how Xu Shaoyuan had let go of her hand, the more distressed she felt.

Ji Shuyu left the reception room and headed straight for the diamond private room on the third floor. She was filled with inexplicable anger; she had been worrying about and searching for Gu Beiting ever since he disappeared days ago, only to find that this man had been at the Night City all along.

The Dowager Empress Pure was gracefully and skillfully crafting new incense by the burner as she introduced it to her son.

Natasha could use operative methods to disguise herself, but even then, she risked being spotted by a highly skilled agent. Erica faced the same problem.

Since Zhou Quan, the head and leader of Wicked Dragon Island, had made his stance on the island’s development clear, the progress would naturally become much more efficient.

After a few seconds of thought, Tyr simply explained the rules of chess to Miaomiao.

Substitute player Jiang An, the newly appointed Commissioner of Urban Appearance for the Northern Prefecture Office, reluctantly took the place of his temporary teammate, whose combat effectiveness was inferior even to that of a goose.

However, Liancheng Yazhi kept his gaze straight ahead, his face expressionless, showing no signs of anything unusual, appearing every bit the upright gentleman.

This jade pendant was a legacy from her mother and her most guarded secret. It had never been revealed to anyone; even Qin Chuan, with whom she shared the most intimate of physical bonds, only vaguely knew she possessed a mysterious treasure capable of concealing her aura, but he remained unaware of the pendant's existence.

For Zhou Quan, this was how things were. He had too many reasons and assets worth showing off. Generally speaking, Zhou Quan no longer bragged about his yachts or sports cars—that was meaningless, and he had never really enjoyed such displays; it was simply beneath him.

"Is it really that powerful?" Yan Fengxi asked, half-doubting. Lin Tao, having witnessed the miraculous effects of the human enhancement serum many times in the Marvel world, was naturally very certain.

The Thais shell, a precious type of conch, is generally only about thirty centimeters long but possesses a metallic luster. It is named for its resemblance to the crown caps of the Tang Dynasty. With its horn-like protrusions, it naturally seems all the more fascinating.

Lin Tao unleashed a killing intent that pressed down upon Li Kunlun’s heart. He was already at the False Core stage, while Li Kunlun was merely at the early stage of the Innate realm. Though both were in the Foundation Establishment phase, one had just stepped in while the other was about to step out; naturally, they could not be spoken of in the same breath.

What Xiao Feng had not expected was that Li Bogang did not leave with the others on the Global.

At this moment, the "Young Master Long" duo, Er Baozi, had laid out bedding on the floor to rest their spirits. They had not been lying down long and were not yet fast asleep.

Leaving the valley, Fang Yi chose the path to his front right and charged forward without hesitation.

"Transfer all the money into this account!" a pirate said with a heated expression, handing over a bank account number.

Liu Yong was now the guardian deity in the hearts of the Jiangxia people, a belief deeply rooted within them. This triumphant return from suppressing the rebellion had only added the mantle of a God of War to his reputation.

A mutated Specter Tiger swerved three yards away from Old Zhu, attempting to rush past the city wall. Detecting it with his spiritual sense, Old Zhu tapped his right foot on the head of a common specter beast, and his Seven-Star Spear pierced through the necks of three specter beasts before stabbing into the mutated tiger's flank, throwing it off the city wall.

After refining two Origin Pearls, Zhu Tianpeng took the hollowed-out Mountain God Seal and left the Taiwei Cave Heaven. He found Taibai Jinxing assisting the County Magistrate with a ritual to offer sacrifices to the heavens.

Yes, that day he could be said to have risen early. As someone who usually loved to sleep in, he was not very familiar with everything.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips. Before the big black dog was reborn, he was known as the Black Emperor, traversing the Demon Realm, where even the true God-Emperors of the realm could do nothing to him.

Regarding Jing Hongtu’s blade aura, Yan Bo-ping naturally could not afford to be careless. He countered by flicking three sword beams toward the blade aura, while simultaneously rushing toward Jing Hongtu, hidden behind his own sword strikes.

However, since he could not refuse Sid’s hospitality, Zhao Xi reluctantly drank the cup. Given their current physiques, even several cups of such potent liquor would not make them drunk.

As for how to deal with ground fighting, Wu Jie planned to focus on researching and learning Ground Technique Boxing, Rolling Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu online throughout the coming week, eventually using the system to redeem these three martial arts skills.

Zhong Qian did not clash head-on with Lei Sheng’s strength. Even though Lei Sheng was in the Essence stage, he chose a more effective method of attack.
