Chapter 35
A sudden sense of pity welled up in his heart for these people; most of them were wretched souls, forcibly rounded up by the Underworld Gold Sect and cast into these subterranean mines as slaves.
When the Paratrooper was stung by Tan Xiaolin’s insults and was about to vent his frustration by shouting that he was quitting, Liu Mang suddenly clapped a heavy hand onto Deng Zhenhua’s shoulder, forcefully cutting him off.
It was clearly her fault, so why, in the end, was he the one taking the initiative to apologize?
Li Xiaoyao had just arrived at the school gate when he saw that Eastern Wu man attempting to bully Liu Shishi and Liu Wei. Seized by sudden fury, he didn’t hesitate for a second; with a swift movement, he dashed forward and slammed a fist into Abe Shabi’s head.
When the world was first formed, the Human Emperor established a dynasty and subsequently used the bronze of the realm to cast the Nine Tripods, concentrating the fortune of the world in an attempt to ensure the dynasty’s eternal, indestructible reign.
“Mu Lianzhu, the three days have passed. Have you uncovered any clues?” Elder Painter asked, leaning on his cane as he tapped the ground.
When dealing with these foreign tribes, the soldiers of the Great Han showed none of the benevolence or kindness they practiced in the Han heartlands; wherever the army marched, they left a trail of slaughter.
“What does this ‘destination’ refer to?” Shi Dade was filled with curiosity, but seeing Zhao Yinan purse her lips, he felt a twinge of disappointment.
In the history of the game, the Rhodesians were a people who prioritized honor above all else. For them, nobility signified nothing but the possession of honor, having no connection to wealth. They once ruled over half the continent and were the only true empire of mankind until it disintegrated into many different nations.
After searching for a while, combing through the front hall of Yang Guang’s temporary palace inside and out, they still came up empty-handed.
Originally, the people of Luofeng County all thought that Lin Xiao was only putting on a show with his sword, but after this person’s shout, the crowd collectively drew in a sharp breath.
Yang Mufeng intentionally allowed the two hundred war slaves to avoid consuming the malevolent energy at the entrance of the Gloomy Demon Cave. This way, the energy inside would appear as intense as ever, ensuring that no powerful outsiders would dare to venture in, thus leaving the two hundred war slaves undisturbed as they devoured the aura.
The bodyguards of President Guo following behind us muttered that we seemed to be in some trouble. I didn’t recognize a single one of these bodyguards; my former colleagues and friends must have been transferred to other branches or dismissed under various pretexts.
How this Soul-Drawing Tourmaline Rabbit was obtained has long been lost to time, yet its illustrious reputation is sung across the four seas, standing on par with the fierce and valiant General Shangguan Shun, who was as formidable as a god.
The dragon-turtle swam over slowly, emitting no divine aura, looking exactly like a common sea turtle. No one would ever believe that such a massive beast could move freely through the raging Sea of Ice and Fire.
He was past the point of tears, unable to stop, and could only endure in silence. He did not know how much time had passed; he had forgotten what pain was, forgotten what emotions were, like a stone statue from the dawn of time, silently drifting in the vast expanse of the universe.
Lu Tianxiang needed Yan Yu’s protection to enter the spatial rift; otherwise, the moment he stepped inside, he would be torn apart in an instant, leaving not even a scrap of bone behind.
This demeanor caused Bo Yi to fall into the trap once again, and he could not help but pull Shu’er closer into the crook of his arm. He was openly taking advantage of a patient, yet he did so with such natural ease that Shu’er could not find the temper to lash out.
In the Tang family, every test administered to the younger generation over the years usually resulted in the victors returning with absolute loyalty and devotion to the clan.
The call with Lewis was not going smoothly; the signal on his end was intermittent, and Lewis was unable to offer any constructive advice.
He held that half-smile on his face for so long that his features began to feel numb and the expression began to crack, yet still, not a sound came from upstairs.
Watching Tang Shan’s earnest expression, Cao Jiayu was stunned, while Cao Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, felt annoyed.
As the car pulled into the underground parking garage of the office building where Huang Zhigao’s company was located, Xiao Mo asked Yun Hai another question.
But to set Chu Qianli’s mind at ease, he obediently followed her lead, taking the medicinal pills she offered with her slightly trembling hand and swallowing them all.
As for himself, he would likely incur the hatred of his father-in-law due to Chu Qianli’s arrogant behavior.
In the past, when she walked outside with Sasahara Yuki, she was accustomed to the cold glares of the townspeople, and even at school, her peers would use this as an excuse to harass and bully her.
Whether it was the Guangji Society or that unknown organization, neither seemed like a force to be trifled with.
Using Shu Hong’s phone to call Robert, Xiao Mo struggled to communicate even a few simple sentences.
Wang Li was an undercover agent at the Xu family shop. Although the Hong family also had an agent, it wasn’t convenient to send him to the provincial capital.
But now was not the time to dwell on these past grievances. Today’s primary task was to pose as a physician, enter the palace with Sun Jichen to check the Empress Dowager’s pulse, and ensure that when we left, our heads were still securely attached to our necks.
He replied to her message; even if it was only four words, it showed he cared for her, and that he, too, had undergone a tremendous change.
“No need, I have my own way. There is no rush.” With a flick of his hand, Tang Yi used a Returning Origin technique to draw the Void Spirit Stone out of her backpack and into his own grasp.
However, she was not too harsh with her staff. She generally cleaned her own room and Xiao Yue’s room herself, and occasionally, when Xiao Yue came home, she would personally prepare delicious dishes for him.
Naturally, she sliced through the clump of flowers pointed out by the locksmith without any effort. However, the wind blades seemed to be obstructed by something, shattering and dissipating, sending countless green leaves scattering into the air.
Ling Yao sipped her tea leisurely, and while focusing her attention on the pair of siblings, she answered Rong Jin in a slow, languid tone.
We then followed the two strange men into a rock. After passing through it, we found ourselves in a pastoral landscape with vast stretches of water.
In the carriage, Xu Lan opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of clear, high-quality jade bracelets. She then opened the pouch to find two silver notes, each worth one hundred taels.
The cafe manager rushed over, looking helpless. Generally speaking, when customers fought, the establishment was the one that suffered the loss, and they couldn’t expect compensation.
It was still very early, but even if it were a bit later, it would be fine. If we had to leave now, it wouldn’t work out, but if you have time, and as long as you have prepared whatever needs to be ready, then it’s all set.
Zhang Hongmei jumped for joy. Ignoring Liu Yumei standing right there, she hugged Lu Xuehua and planted two firm kisses on her face.
“Very well, then I will accept it.” Ling Yuqing did not refuse again, perhaps because she truly regarded Cang Yuan as a friend.
