Volume 1, Chapter 40: Signing the Contract

As she spoke, Shen Lingsheng looked toward Yang Xu’ao, a hint of cold arrogance appearing in her expression. For the first time, a sharp, imposing light flickered within her beautiful eyes.

"Let’s go. Let’s head to where Ye Fengchun is staying and take a look!" Lu Ming immediately decided to investigate elsewhere.

"I don't know him, I don't know him! He was wearing black clothes, covering his face. I don't know, I don't know anything!" The man had reached a state of mental collapse; upon hearing Mu Yunzhi’s voice, he began to howl frantically.

Before Lu Ming could speak, the beaten Envoy Mo spoke first, though he directed his words toward Lu Ming.

This was true, for at that time, Li Dings took a stack of business cards but could not understand what was written on them; looking up, he happened to see the giant KFC sign.

"If this had been someone without patience, they probably wouldn't even have been able to accept the mission," Xiluo remarked with a sigh.

"Damn, he actually brought this thing along. That’s too overpowered." Rubbing the "divine artifact" Nokia in his hand, which was as solid as a rock, Lu Ming began to grumble while idly fiddling with the metal components.

The Emperor of the Underworld in Country Y—his age was about the same as his own. As for strength, a year ago they were on par. He wondered if he had improved during this time.

The main gate of the great hall suddenly burst open, and a violent current, like a frenzied dragon, surged through the crack and struck directly into the hall.

Mu Yunzhi followed behind him, while Dan Yu and Wu Feiwu, both eager to see the spectacle, trailed along as well.

In short, only part-time jobs could actually earn some money; as for formal professions... those were just favors given by friends, not worth mentioning.

The silver-armored general in the center remained expressionless; guided by Yong Tong and Gao Tao, he prepared to head into the city.

Nista had known about Klein’s identity ever since Lin Wei headed toward the Northern Territory. Although she did not know what had transpired between Lin Wei and Klein, she was certain that Klein was Lin Wei’s most loyal student.

In truth, Xi Qiansui was still a cub under a thousand years old; if one counted the time spent in the egg, that wouldn't even be called a thousand years—ten thousand years might not even be enough to calculate it clearly.

If one were an eighth-grade grandmaster, one would be one hundred percent capable of keeping the spirit platform clear, reborn into a second life, with a starting point naturally a hundred or a thousand times higher than others.

Yang Hancheng signaled to the two thugs, who understood the hint and began to take turns beating Wu Jipan.

Instinctively, some massage techniques surfaced in Chu Chen’s mind, methods to help relieve fatigue, relax the body and mind, and cultivate wellness.

Chen Bufan was extremely excited, casting all his previous doubts to the back of his mind as he carried the still-glowing Lamp of Creation from the cave and headed straight into the depths of the grey mist.

As He Deming walked, he observed, once again confirming and memorizing the layout of each room and the deployment of troops.

Within the Daoist sects, when mages duel, unless they are mortal enemies, they decide the outcome through hand seals. Hao Yuan, intending only to teach Qin Buxie a lesson, did not use internal energy, fighting solely through the forming of seals.

The clothes were brand new—a prince’s casual attire: a slate-blue robe with dragon-patterned trim, looking exceptionally handsome.

Zhang Zhexue ordered food and wine from a tavern nearby, having them delivered directly to his home. The four of them set up a banquet in the courtyard, erected a sound-dampening array outside, and drank to their hearts' content.

"Thanks for the reminder," Ye Feng said with a faint smile. If this guy really dared to make a move on him, he would show him what regret meant.

But since the other party lowered their status to plead repeatedly, Rong Ying had to excuse herself by saying Shao Xun was busy, suggesting they talk in detail when they had time.

In the struggle for living space, most beasts have strong territorial instincts. A single area cannot accommodate too many beasts, so it was quite abnormal that dozens of magical beasts had surrounded them after they had merely rested there for a while.

He picked up the toilet plunger, leaned down to fish the shiny object out of the filth, and threw it into the sink to rinse it off, only to discover it was an eyeball, with the blood still fresh.

One must realize that the structure of zombies is now completely different from that of a human body. Certain vital points on a human might not be vital at all on a zombie—they might even be the sturdiest parts.

Hearing this, Ye Feng licked his dry lips. For someone carrying such a heavy burden, it was basically impossible to calm his mind and get a good rest. Fighting against stronger opponents had become a matter of course. Such a technique was perfect for someone like him who constantly faced powerful enemies.

With sharp peach-blossom eyes scrutinizing Xia Ling, Cheng Chen crossed his long, slender fingers and rested his elbows on the armrests in a negotiator's pose, speaking in a way that could infuriate someone to death.

Seeing how much Bi Bing trusted her companions, Xu Ruxin felt reassured. Was this what it meant to be companions? Xu Ruxin was a bit puzzled.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had lived in Qin Lan’s villa for half a month. That’s right, half a month. During this time, other than contacting Yun Yang once, Lin Feng had turned off all his communication devices and spent a carefree time in Qin Lan’s villa.

"Thump." A sound came from behind—a chair had been knocked over. It turned out Ximei had been hiding behind the screen, eavesdropping.

My child, so well-behaved. He was willing to forgive my negligence; he was willing to continue staying by my side.

Seeing its prey, the white tiger let out an excited roar. She screamed in terror and ran for her life, her red dress fluttering in the forest like a butterfly, carving one beautiful arc after another.

Moreover, this person was incredibly powerful; he had unleashed three heavenly thunderbolts, capturing his martial sister in a single move, leaving her unable to resist and screaming in agony. What was to be done now?

At that moment, Huorong’s eyes revealed the Yin and Yang stars. The Yin was the mother of all things in the universe, nourishing all life, while the Yang was the foundation of all things, granting them vitality. He could not help but chant softly.

At this moment, taking a closer look at the man on stage protecting Yun Yue, he could no longer remain calm. At first, he thought the man was just Yun Yue’s personal bodyguard—after all, it was common for celebrities to have their own bodyguards, and people rarely paid them much attention.

Li Lingyi sighed. This kind of item was like the return bone fragment he had possessed previously, which could return him to the Primordial Space anytime, anywhere, free from the constraints of the main mission. The only price was losing all rewards gained during the current world.

Li Lingyi could not tolerate such an act, which was tantamount to rebellion. Besides, he was already furious over Aria’s uncertain fate, and now that this had happened, he naturally would not show mercy. That was why he let Soros handle it; the latter was the one who understood him best and knew exactly what he was thinking.
