Chapter 22

In the blink of an eye, Link regained his professional and dignified demeanor, gesturing for Xiao Yi to proceed. Xiao Yi did not hesitate, and the three of them stepped out of the reception room together.

No sooner had Lu Teng spoken those words than Ye Chen erupted in fury. He planted his right foot on an elder's shoulder and began pointing and cursing at Lu Teng.

Two inner-sect disciples of the Bear Sect, both at the peak of the Yellow Realm, knelt on one knee the moment they appeared, bowing before Ye Yan.

That guy is truly disgusting. Saying such things in the cafeteria—he’s completely ruined my appetite.

Xiao Yi and Zod observed from the sidelines, and it didn’t take a particularly astute deduction to realize there must be a poignant history between these two men.

So that’s it, Mo Chen thought. There were still many unclear aspects regarding the Qian family. When he arranged for them to leave this morning, he had been puzzled, feeling the story shouldn’t have ended there. It turned out this was where the twist had been laid out for them.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun retreated at high speed, swinging the Desolate Heaven Halberd to strike against the blood-colored axe.

Before Wang Wei could finish his sentence, the old man slammed the table in a fit of rage, making Wang Wei tremble.

"Sister Mei, is this the piece you’re wearing today the one we helped you wash last time?" Ye Long asked with a lewd smirk. Since entering the room, his eyes hadn't left that spot for a second.

Whenever the conversation turned to professional matters, Xiao Yi’s aura underwent a transformation. Link and Leonard nodded frequently, for even when they differed in opinion, they shared the common ground of true intellect when it came to academic pursuits.

Furthermore, besides gaining ten thousand contribution points, Liu Qingshan received a low-grade treasure sword. Treasure-grade weapons were considered entry-level gear for many Xiantian disciples, and even many cultivators still relied on them.

Zhu Qianqian’s remark left Han Ke feeling awkward. Seeing this, Zheng Qing quickly interjected, "I can find one myself; jobs are quite easy to find these days!" In her heart, however, she knew that wasn't true—if they were easy to find, she wouldn't be busy hunting for work every single day.

"My facts are rather unsightly; it would be better not to bring them to light," Fan Yu said, deliberately setting a trap.

Because atop that green light, a blue radiance appeared. It was so faint, so inconspicuous compared to the brilliant green, yet so deep, serene, and exquisitely beautiful that it was intoxicating.

"The people of the Northern Wilderness are no different from those in other continents; barbarism is merely your prejudice," Yu the Great replied calmly.

"Hiss-hiss!" The Jade-Toothed Elephant exhaled two long plumes of white vapor from its nostrils, glaring angrily at Mu Zifei before scraping its hind hooves against the ground, preparing to deliver a lethal blow.

Before a divine general of the ancient god-realm, a Nascent Soul cultivator was as fragile as a sheet of paper; even a Soul Formation cultivator would be left severely injured.

Lin Feng ignored all of that. Time was tight and he could not delay. Leng Qi’s spear struck out like a dragon, bombarding the elemental product.

"Fine, I believe you. Hurry and start; everything is in your hands," Chen Xin said, rolling her eyes in resignation.

Liu Yun was startled, then watched the beautiful figure in pink. Her pale pink hair shimmered in the darkness, and the pink butterfly patterns on her dress seemed ready to take flight, drifting silently through the dark void.

His stride faltered. A chill crawled up from the soles of his feet, causing his face to swell with a cold, stiff sensation.

Zhou Guangling let out a cold snort: "You can't escape." He crouched low to give chase, but five flying daggers appeared before him.

Mo Yishen gazed at Yan You with obsidian eyes, elegantly tilting his beer can before swallowing the last of it with a gulp.

Huo Jidu suddenly began to kiss me with a manic intensity, his lips suctioning against mine until I could barely breathe. We were right outside Su Yinghe’s villa. Although the spot was secluded, I remained terrified of being discovered. As I pushed and shoved, his wicked face turned fiery, his gaze suddenly locking onto mine.

He pulled off his necktie with a blank expression, carefully gathered my hands together, wrapped it around them, and tied them tight.

His bedroom door was left slightly ajar. Yan You hesitated, decided against entering, and turned to push open her own door.

Fujikawa’s words were like pouring oil on a fire. Shentu Haolong paused with his teacup halfway to his lips, while Ishikawa Mangzi, standing behind Watanabe Masao, instinctively took a step back, watching the near-explosive fury of Watanabe Masao with caution.

"Brother-in-law, we received the gifts and we all love them. Given our family ties, I won’t bother with formalities!" Having said that, he looked over at Ke Jessi.

"Such a powerful aura!" Xue Qianxun’s racing body shuddered, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth as she raised her hands, weaving complex seals to strike at the sky-covering cloud behind her.

Yang Chao immediately tried to rise, but as he pulled back the quilt, he was shocked to discover he was completely naked. He quickly pulled it back over himself; fortunately, Qiao Yishu was so distraught that she likely hadn't noticed.

If one were to truly assign him blame, it was merely that he had informed Li Haode of the matter before the judicial department had issued the release order.

Jiujiang thought to himself in a state of fearful collapse, "Damn it, I must have had a streak of bad luck today. How could I run into such a monster? Looks like I need to check the almanac next time I go out—kicking an iron plate like this really hurts."
