Chapter 52: Life is hard, Lu Wu sighs

The entrance, which should have remained open for another two hours, vanished after a single massive swallow, leaving those who timed their arrival precisely to miss the opportunity.

Those people cursed bitterly.

Consequently, Hong'an City was once again subjected to harsh criticism and condemnation.

However, Hong'an City did not indulge these cultivators; the law enforcement squad suppressed them directly.

This made Lu Wu feel a mixture of emotions.

For a moment, she could not tell whether her luck was too good or too bad.

There was still some time before reaching the stall location...

Well, robots receive better treatment than living humans, and if Lord Xiao wishes to scrap Liufeng, he can just cut the power at any time.

He could have used pupil techniques to analyze the situation, but Tang Qi would also be entering the arena shortly. If he exposed his abilities excessively now, it would be easy for opponents to tailor countermeasures against him later.

Thinking along these lines, Xun Qing gave Ye Jun a call. Under Ye Jun's command was a decoration team, and the men working for him were all retired soldiers like himself—extremely trustworthy.

Upon catching her first sight of Wu Yuxin, she was overwhelmed with a surge of joy, accompanied by a glimmer of hope. Could she possibly still be saved?

To find a plausible excuse, Yuji did not mind airing his past humiliating deeds in public. Besides, the current situation was entirely in his favor, making him fearless and unconcerned.

After a bath, tired out from the day, taking a hot shower was genuinely and exquisitely comforting, especially with two large companions by his side—it was simply exhilarating and full of vigor.

Lin Wanqing's voice seemed to carry a trace of bewitching magic; upon hearing it, that person truly closed his eyes.

Big Chunk was a ferocious warrior under Liusha's command, having followed Liusha for seven or eight years after being scouted from an underground fighting ring.

However, what she never expected was that a sword would suddenly pierce from behind, almost running through Wu Yuxin's dantian.

"Uh, let the three of us be a group!" Xuanji pointed at Autumn Wind Rising and Flame Yellow Bubble, making a swift decision.

Listening to Zuo Xuan's words, Lone Wolf gritted his teeth, somewhat failing to understand Zuo Xuan's intent. As the saying goes, if you help someone, help them all the way to the end; since Zuo Xuan had brought the mecha troops all the way here through battles, why stop right at the final critical assault?

Hiding all her emotions, Biyun acted as though she had seen none of this. She could never have imagined that the Sea Queen could be so vicious.

He thought to himself: Goodness gracious, as a weapon, there is no doubt its attack power is definitely higher than any piece of equipment on his body.

Low and sturdy houses with thick layers of straw piled on their roofs had strings of dried venison hanging outside every doorway.

Hearing Chen Mo's inquiry, Ganya let out a couple of sobs and pointed toward the roof beams, where several more identical pieces of dried meat hung. Ganya's meaning clearly indicated they were to be taken from up there.

"Pfft." Mo Ziyu simply could not hold it in anymore, laughing without the slightest bit of politeness. She had truly never seen such a comical person; could it be that all three Mo brothers were stealthy comedians?

"I also built a shopping mall on an island. Even though housing prices on the island have halved by now, the rental value of my mall has barely dropped at all. Moreover, my subordinates told me that the mall even raised its rents this month. I think building a few malls on the mainland to collect rent should also be a pretty good business," Jia Lei said.

The elevator, like a lingering old man on the verge of death, finally began to move downward slowly, making a clanking sound within the profound darkness. The red digital numbers on the elevator display finally shifted from 6 to 5.

With a troubled expression, Dugu Xuan did not know how to broach the subject to Dugu Qingcheng. Gong Jue was a profoundly ruthless man; Mu Yongqiong, who had shared a single night of husband-and-wife relations with him, was put to death without him ever uttering a plea for her.

After all, Li Jing was a high-ranking imperial official who had just received a promotion recently, and even the Empress had no authority to punish him. She could only order these shameless people to get as far away as possible and not defile the pure sanctuary of Buddhism.

As for why Li Zhan delayed claiming a royal title, the reason was simple: he still wished to defend the country. In truth, he simply could not let go of the power in his hands; once his fief was established in the south, the sphere of influence Li Zhan had cultivated over many years would instantly crumble into dust.
