57. The Abused Supporting Male Character
When a table laden with twelve exquisite dishes—boil, stir-fry, deep-fry, and braise all represented, bursting with color, aroma, and flavor—was set before Zhang Wubao, even someone as accustomed to culinary luxuries as he could not help his appetite being thoroughly stirred.
Yet the moment he laid eyes on Helou Yuan, all those thoughts vanished completely. The only thing running through his mind now was... would the Prince of Ningyuan fly into a rage and execute him on the spot?
Hearing Jiao Yuzhen call out to him, Liu Xu raised her head, her hand tightly clutching the deed of indenture.
Deep within the fathomless abyss, the five divine tombs in the Ancient God Burial Ground suddenly shone with brilliant divine light. Immediately afterwards, five hazy figures materialized directly atop these five graves.
When I nodded and said yes, Grandma remarked that my father was truly a worry, already a father himself yet still so scatterbrained in everything he did.
Just as many people were waiting anxiously, the first wave of arrivals appeared. A harsh screech of brakes echoed outside the gate, and several black Audi sedans, off-road vehicles, and other cars pulled smoothly to a halt at the entrance.
The very instant he heard the commotion, Jimo Hanfei darted forward in a flash to shield Jiao Yuzhen behind him. Although it was noisy all around, eight years of rigorous training had long enabled him to determine directions and distinguish danger without relying on vision. Thus, he was by her side at the very first moment.
Along the way, she kept a sharp eye out for shops available for rent or sale. She had already made up her mind: since she wanted to make money and her capital was sufficient, opening a shop would be far better than setting up a street stall. It would save her from exposing her face to the public and yield much greater profits than peddling.
While Chu Yi was angrily conversing with Xiao He, the five elders of the Hunyuan Sect behind him suddenly launched a joint strike, instantly hitting Chu Yi and causing him to vomit a torrent of blood.
Milu could not hide her joyful expression, blinking at Randy with an attitude of sisterly affection.
Inside the grand formation, deep within a peculiar space where beams of light crisscrossed through the swirling dragon mists, Yunlong curiously surveyed everything around him.
Following a shower of purple light, the golden deity avatar, save for a single finger, grew hazy and indistinct, looking as though it might dissipate at any second. Even so, the avatar forged ahead as if braving towering billows and fierce gales that threatened to blow it apart, taking one extraordinarily arduous step forward to arrive right before Baiyunzi, and pointing a single finger downward.
As soon as Li Chuanzhong dropped into the forest, ignoring the bloody scratches left on his body by the tree branches, he sprang back to his feet and slammed both palms against the foliage around him. Countless broken branches and leaves whistled through the air, gathering into a dense mass as they hurtled toward Matsuno Zuoshi and Dingding.
Befriending a mafia tycoon would be even more advantageous for his upcoming promotion within the government, and would further feed his psychological desire for continuous upward mobility.
"The Purple-Gold divine boots—not bad, they quite match my Purple Firmament Carefree Pace." Upon completing the blood recognition ritual, Meng Feng was immediately informed of the pair of boots' name. This caused him to nod slightly in approval. The name paired wonderfully with his Purple Firmament Carefree Pace and Purple Firmament Thunder Flame, leaving him thoroughly satisfied.
This was simply Li Zhong being inexperienced and finding the unusual ordinary; monsters generally lacked intelligence, but giant pythons were an exception. Solitary monsters without brains would have long since been skinned and deboned, and could never have survived until now.
Far from the battlefield covered in brilliant light, Azathoth and Bilge, having already withdrawn from the combat zone, were keeping abreast of the battlefield situation through the relay laser signals of the Imperial Guard MS squads.
Huche'er stuck out his rear, gritted his teeth, endured a wave of intense pain, and broke out in bean-sized beads of sweat, yet he still could not stop shouting wildly.
Amidst the gaze of the multitude, a figure leaped out from the tri-colored radiance. As the figure drifted downward, their left hand accidentally seemed to grasp a round, smooth object.
As the head of the clan, Huang Taolüe had a thorough and profound understanding of medicinal herbs. Therefore, after merely tasting a tiny bit of the Marrow Cleansing Powder, he was already able to discern its extraordinary nature.
"What is going on here?" Such a vast forest, yet so deathly quiet—it was simply too incredible.
Zheng Shuang's bedroom was located at the far end of the first floor of the villa. Upon entering, Lin Yifeng noticed that the overall style of the room leaned toward solemnity, which matched her personality quite well.
It was eleven-thirty at night when Yang Tian finally left the courtyard. Before getting into his car, he circulated his internal energy to dispel the smell of alcohol, and only then did he dare to drive.
"This concubine is aware of my foster father's situation and has already brought Qi'er by my side," Liu Xiang replied hurriedly upon hearing this.
"What? You can use the shrinking-ground technique within this realm?! And this spatial boundary—how could it possibly tear open portals at your mere whim?" Sima Kong exclaimed in utter astonishment.
"This kind of bronze gate cannot be forced open by brute strength, because to open it, one must possess the key!" Sang Kui said, clasping his hands behind his back with a cold and sinister gaze slowly directed toward Qin Mu not far away.
Subsequently, Qin Xiaotian gave Liu Erhu a general account of everything that had happened to Ouyang Zhen. Liu Erhu nodded, finally understanding the full sequence of events.
Then, the Azure Dragon's tail twitched feebly for a few moments before slowly dropping downward, finally becoming completely motionless.
With those words, I thrust both hands forward and hoisted the corpse fiend up. The corpse fiend, only half my size, actually weighed no more than fifty or sixty catties. Though I appeared lighthearted on the surface, inwardly I was gritting my teeth and exerting every ounce of strength I had.
In an instant, a radius of ten zhang around Hu Xiao was completely enveloped. This was already Hu Xiao's limit; his current cultivation was not enough to expand the range of the Misty Cloud Sea any further.
After completing her month of postpartum confinement, due to a tight schedule, she flew directly to Country M to attend the Golden Rooster Awards.
Gu Xi lowered her head. Hearing a soft response, she suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart. She jerked her head up and looked at the person before her: "Uncle, I am about to leave, can't you even show a hint of reluctance?" As she spoke, grievance welled up in her heart, and mist began to gather in her eyes.
At this moment, Xuan Ruowei finally stepped out. Because of her identity, she could not casually interfere in mortal supernatural affairs to avoid exposing who she really was.
Sun Xiao was well aware of the speed of internet dissemination. If the Tang family did not step forward to resolve the matter, they would be dead even with supernatural powers. Right now, her only hope was that the Tang family would offer clandestine assistance.
At this very moment, Xia Qianshu was filled with agonizing regret. Had she been able to foresee the current situation earlier, she definitely would have studied hard for her exams, put her heart into scoring well, and not spent all her time obsessing over romance.
Having not touched her for five years, his kissing technique remained as masterful as ever—at times as fierce and raging as a tempest, and at other times as gentle and soft as a fine, misty rain.
