Chapter Fifty-One

After Liu Ziming inadvertently walked straight into his own trap, Yuna and the others captured him with ease and entered his secret chamber. Inside, they found a large amount of cash, various financial ledgers, and records of the illegal activities he had carried out both at home and abroad.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Yunduan asked suspiciously. Ye Fei’s expression was merely one of surprise, so he assumed she had not encountered any trouble.

This time, however, Old Eight’s outstretched hand received no response. Zhao Gao’s thoughts had already flown away after Mai Linglong’s unconscious complaint. When he came back to himself, he blurted out a completely inexplicable question.

He could produce more spirit crystals, but the ones he had brought this time were mainly intended for the pill-appraisal gathering. If he squandered them all now, what would he use to buy pills at the event?

Although she said she was afraid, her voice sounded anything but frightened. Instead, it had turned gentle and sweet, as though she were not being held hostage at all, but enjoying the warm embrace of her lover.

Duan Hanyan found a large granite boulder beside a stand of fir trees, so he hid behind it to relieve himself.

Within the Flying Crane Sect, she had known Chu Yunduan the longest and had a general idea of what had happened between him and the Seven Absolutes Sect. After all, quite a few people had been present when Chu Yunduan declared before Elder Lin that he intended to go to the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Li Shen watched Wu Meiniang enter with a smile on her face and gave a cold snort. He felt that this entire outing had been carefully arranged by her. Not a single pleasant thing had happened along the way: first his clan had made things difficult for him, then Meng Yi had dumped Li Heng on him, and now this had happened as well.

It was pitch-black, like the bottom of an unfathomable sea. Yet at that moment, Lin Xiu discovered that a light had appeared below.

Less than five minutes later, the sound of drums rang out again. This time, apart from the auxiliary troops accompanying the Wei warriors, there were also some archers mixed among them. Their attacks were not particularly powerful, nor could they shoot very far, but their presence meant that the Wei army now possessed the ability to strike in three dimensions.

She had also followed local custom and arrived wearing a red cheongsam. Yet there was always something strange about a foreigner wearing one. No matter how fine her figure or attractive her appearance, it simply did not look right; the flavor was wrong. A cheongsam could reveal that classical charm only when worn by an Eastern woman.

Rongsheng Group was a publicly listed corporation based in Washington, United States. In order to enter the Asian market, it had frequently partnered with several major Asian conglomerates in recent years. In just three short years, Rongsheng Group had established branches in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, advancing with formidable momentum.

Guide Number Nine murmured as though speaking in a dream. As he stared at the eyes of the divine tree phantom behind Ye Che, his own eyes widened farther and farther.

In the end, Hua Qiong still made preparations, ordering some troops to be mobilized and stationed near the capital in case of unforeseen trouble.

Although the occasion was Jiang Chenxi’s birthday, filming did not stop. Instead, they held the birthday banquet in the evening, during a break in the schedule. They did not invite everyone—only a few of the principal actors, along with several friends such as Xiang Ying and Lin Moyan, who came over to gather and celebrate.

Before the album’s sales figures were released, he had been extremely nervous. After learning the figures, however, he was no longer anxious. What he felt now was mostly confidence. Sales of more than three thousand copies would already be considered terrible for a fourth-tier singer like him.

After entering Wuyang City through the eastern gate, the Xinghai Sect did not hurry to engage the Yunqi Army in battle. Instead, they stationed themselves where they were and adopted the same strategy of watching developments unfold.

The techniques here had already been almost completely carried away by Qin Ming. Without the slightest reluctance, Qin Ming left at once.

Zhuo Ning led Nanxi to a seat by the window. Sunlight streamed in, yet it was neither hot nor glaring.

“It doesn’t matter if your legs really do go weak. I’ll carry you,” Ou Muye said gently, ignoring the mockery hidden in her words.

“Heh heh, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Qin! May I ask what arrangements you have for the rest of your journey? Would you be willing to honor my humble home with your presence at tomorrow’s banquet?” Liu Xuanmin asked tentatively.

Seeing that only a conservative pure-white undergarment remained to cover Mu Jinxie’s upper body, the others could not help swallowing hard.

Bella glared bitterly at Meng Qi, who had already gone over to Zohan and the others and was speaking with them. The moment she remembered that Meng Qi had been bare-chested when they first met, she clenched her teeth in anger.

After finishing all these tasks, Doro began to feel somewhat hollow. Every day consisted of little more than sampling man-faced insects, taking Baron Ankara around from place to place, and supervising the demons’ work and training.

In an instant, Long Tao and the others threw the battlefield into chaos once more. Amid the billowing clouds of smoke, the minotaurs lost their bearings and could no longer find any trace of Long Tao’s group. After wandering in confusion for a while, the minotaur began to hear cries of agony ringing in his ears—the screams of the beast-soldiers who had inhaled the poisonous smoke.

Soft, elegant music played back inside the car. Its faint melody lingered in the air, mingling with the uniquely alluring fragrance that clung to Chen Mei, creating an atmosphere of languid sensuality.

No one would ever know the answer to that question, because it had never been given the chance to grow. And I believe that from now on, humanity will never again produce a genius with an imagination as rich as mine.
