Volume 1, Chapter 35: Quite Adorable

"What is going on with her?"

"This insolent servant secretly sold off my dowry. I am merely punishing my own servant; surely I have done nothing wrong."

She lowered her eyes, clearly in no mood to elaborate.

"Spilled water cannot be gathered back up. Have you ever seen words taken back once they are spoken?" The man in the gray robe’s tone grew stern.

The only silver lining was that while the U.S. government provided them with very limited military support, they had opened their intelligence network to them.

A sound came from the hall of the planning department. Although it was faint, the middle-of-the-night silence made the sudden noise seem exceptionally clear.

Xie Lin noticed that the rope-like object hanging from above had vanished without a trace. Apart from a single incandescent bulb, there was nothing else on the ceiling—it was as if that hanging object had never been there at all before Zhang Lang fell.

Xie Lin was momentarily stunned, a strange look flashing in his eyes, but he merely gave a wry smile and said nothing more.

The instant that sound emerged, Xia Lei’s body suddenly regained its freedom, and he collapsed onto the floor. His vision returned to normal, and he witnessed an incredible scene.

Daoist Master Daoxuan shook his head slightly with a bitter smile, a complex and inexplicable expression flickering in his deep eyes.

At that very moment, as the gray light struck Di Xuehanyan, sending her flying and vomiting blood, the surrounding Immortal Kingdoms and worldly realms let out wails of grief. They then all transformed into the color of blood; the endless mortal world was stained crimson, and the seven-colored flowers turned into blood-red blossoms in an instant.

If the opponent did not betray him, things would be simple. Relying on this Nine-Palace Inverted Bagua Formation, he was fully confident he could grind Jun Hao to death within it. Once that happened, the entire floating city would fall into his hands.

His cultivation had now reached the absolute limit of the ninth stage of the True Martial Realm. As for the tenth stage, which symbolized the perfection of the True Martial Realm, he had no leads at all. Chen Zong did not know how to break through for the time being and could only proceed slowly.

Appearing exactly when you are needed is like providing charcoal in snowy weather; as long as the other person isn't a beast, they will remember your kindness.

Interestingly, when Qin Ran met Daoist Xuxuan again, the man went out of his way to greet him with great enthusiasm.

To avoid wasting his breath, Mu Yuzhu stopped debating whether to have one ox or two pull the cart. "Since that is the case, let's just buy two ox carts," she said.

The brutal battle initiated by the Blood Cloak Sect ultimately ended in their own defeat. Yet, the defeated Blood Sword Demon and Blood Fiend Demon Lord still had no idea why their blood had suddenly surged at such a critical moment. It was simply inconceivable.

Just then, Zhang Chao, having sensed the commotion, rushed out of the private room to see Li Da'an holding a check while Lin Jiang wore a mysterious smile.

"Hmph! You don't know anything!" Seeing the look on Wang Yuan's face, Elena couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Watching Feng Nibai impatiently pull me away, Ye Yudong muttered to herself before glancing over toward Geng Tang and Zhuli.

Wang Hao walked out looking relaxed. He planned to lay low for a while; once he found evidence against Wang Tao and ruined his reputation, he would take Wang Tao back to their hometown. He wanted to ask his "dear" parents to their faces why they had treated him this way.

However, Song Yaqian was truly good to her, providing her with the best food and drink, constantly caring for her physical and mental well-being, and ensuring she remained as comfortable as possible.
