Chapter 33: Just Swipe the Card

"Why did you call him 'Boss Hou' yesterday, but 'Uncle Hou' today?" Zheng Qian asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"There were too many people yesterday, so I called him Boss Hou. Today, it’s quiet, so I just call him Uncle Hou."

Jin Lu explained to Zheng Qian that her father had a very good relationship with Hou Jianye before he was imprisoned, and that Hou had taken good care of her over the years. This gym job was something Hou Jianye had personally offered her, and the compensation was...

A giant palm slammed down into thin air, the impact causing the scorched earth to fly and a large section of nearby buildings to collapse under the tremor.

Jian Chiwu struggled to his feet, walked to the edge of the training grounds, braced his stance, and lifted a stone lock with one hand, silently counting the repetitions in his heart.

The thugs were nothing more than common street hoodlums. They were fine at bullying ordinary citizens, but the moment they saw Gu Qi holding a gun, they immediately huddled together and crouched down, shielding their heads.

The Feng woman served the old matriarch with great devotion and was usually the most unrestrained in her speech, but even when she overstepped, the old matriarch would refrain from reprimanding her out of respect for Matriarch Feng.

Shi Tingshi immediately made the theory of malevolent spirits public, and only then did people truly begin to believe in their existence.

In fact, although I was at White Stone Manor at the time, I did not catch a glimpse of Bai Ningbing.

Xiao Ling nodded with a smile and went forward to sit beside the Prince of Han, while Su Yuheng stood at the doorway with two maids.

In truth, Sean wasn't trying to emphasize how dangerous it was—the weapons and ammunition inside weren't like ancient gunpowder that would ignite at the touch of a spark; even if someone held a lighter to them, they wouldn't catch fire. Sean was merely showing off how vast his reserves were and how powerful the weaponry was.

In fact, Ye Tian could tell from Ye Tian’s unprecedentedly solemn and heavy expression that he had truly sensed who the real culprit was.

This Yin Meng went to such great lengths to build a drug manufacturing base in this secret realm; I fear it is not as simple as it appears. If things go wrong, he might be trying to use drugs to create an army controlled by his gu-insects.

"Big Monkey, what do you mean by that?" I led my men forward, glaring fiercely at Big Monkey.

In his spare time, Ye Feng always engaged in physical training. After school, he would go to the track for long-distance running or to the gym to work out, constantly striving to improve his strength and endurance.

"Young Master Yang, it’s time to go in. The prizes are waiting for you, and you shouldn't forget that so many award presenters are waiting inside!" Li Feng said smugly.

Ye Lin began to examine the flying sea ship. It was the largest such vessel he had ever seen in his life. Not to mention the immense scale of its construction, the arrays laid out for the ship—and the materials required for them—were beyond the reach of ordinary people. It would require a cultivator at the Dan-stage or higher to even attempt it.

"Let’s set off once you’re ready. There are a few more things I need to discuss with you later," Nezha said slowly as he watched Tian Ye walk out.

The nine-colored light curtain possessed not only formidable defensive power but also immense offensive capability. As it pressed down, the beam of light formed by the thunder snakes disintegrated, transforming into thousands of grey-black serpents. But the moment they appeared, before they could even twist in the air, they were ground into dust by the nine-colored curtain.

"Haha, you don't need to know that! But the fact that you knew about our plan beforehand—that did exceed our expectations," the first evil cultivator said.

One must realize that although Ye Feng had only gone through three reincarnation dungeons, his Dragon Power had allowed him to gain significant combat experience and techniques from the memories of others.

Shortly thereafter, He Lan discovered with intent that ever since her spiritual power had stalled, Ma Hong’s body had remained in a state of constant eruption, and the focal point of these eruptions was a factor that He Lan, who had improved the camouflage device, understood better than anyone.

Jiang Ziyu only used two abilities after clearing the buff—the E-Flash—and the move left everyone stunned. Of course, they didn't attribute it to Jiang Ziyu's skill; like He Yuezhi, they simply assumed it was a coincidence.

I lowered my head and yawned secretly. I didn't know why they were comparing me to Duanmu Lan, but I truly envied Liang Heng's energy and spirit.

"If he hasn't gone mad, then he must have found a way to deal with the Mysterious Ice Serpent; otherwise, he wouldn't be this ecstatic," Yu Feng said.

Dong Zhuo hurried to dismount and kneel in obeisance, and Liu Xie comforted him with kind words, without a single slip of the tongue. Dong Zhuo was struck with wonder, and the intention to depose the Emperor began to sprout. Dong Zhuo protected the young Emperor as they returned to the palace, but upon inspecting the imperial treasures, the Imperial Seal was nowhere to be found.

Lin Hao had mentioned Chu Xueqing's background to them, so they naturally knew, and naturally felt a sense of sorrow for her.

"Is everything set up?" Di Tian asked with a yawn, to which Deng Xiaoping nodded earnestly.

Was the Huashi E-sports department trying to slap him in the face? Still, one had to admit, that ambush was beautifully executed.

"You should go take a bath too; you’ll feel more refreshed in a little while." Qin Qin came over and picked up her phone to check if there was anything that needed her attention. Jiang Ziyu's phone lay on the bed, but Qin Qin wouldn't even glance at it unless Jiang Ziyu offered to show her.

"King of Chu! We should fight to the death together! As the ruler of a nation, why would you submit to Liu Du?" Wei Yan shouted, his emotions running high.

Xiaer was attempting this for the first time, and let alone reaching the depths of the world, she was barely managing to maintain the diffused state of her own telekinesis.

Her gaze was cold and imposing. Song Qian felt her scalp tingle under that sharp stare and couldn't help but shrink back.

At this moment, she took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

Chu Hongyi felt quite pleased seeing Chu Kuang frustrated. Today's incident would likely spread throughout the entire Chu family before long.

As for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it never expected that these humans would truly refrain from any other actions, as if they were merely passing through.

This fellow was, after all, only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so his perspective on certain matters was naturally somewhat lacking.

"However, those guys haven't arrived yet. I have a suspicion that something might have happened to them as well," the Triceratops said, transmitting its thoughts to the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a grave tone.

"That fruit can enhance your magic? What about us fairies?" Meijiao seemed to have found the point.

So, Consort Shu had been fishing for information from me only to ensure Song Zheyi would hear it and let go of his hopes. In truth, Consort Shu was being somewhat redundant; at this stage of the script, Song Zheyi was still a man of loyalty and righteousness, and despite my past entanglements with him, he had never once overstepped his bounds.

See? Her boyfriend was just that outstanding. What he said he could do, he would certainly do—that was the kind of temperament he should have.

Many people in the Bureau of Political Security lived their lives in a drunken stupor, perhaps to escape reality. One has to admit that many people work for the Japanese simply to scrape by. After all, being able to survive is more important than anything else.
