Chapter 41: A Shameless Person Without Integrity Can Drive Others to Distraction

"Sister-in-law Gu, I was just scared silly by them, let me help you up," said the woman who had been the first to attack Ye Siran, her tone oily and ingratiating.

She and Auntie Gu were next-door neighbors, and it was Auntie Gu who had introduced her to a job at the farm's grand cafeteria. Initially, she had felt grateful, but as time passed, envy began to gnaw at her. After all, Auntie Gu’s sister-in-law had a brother-in-law who was a farm manager—why did she deserve such a better life than her own? Her daughter was ugly, yet she married...

Ling Feng gave a desolate laugh. He had only just touched the rocket launcher, barely enough to warm his hands, let alone have any fun with it—wasn't that just bullying?

Yan Chen saw his own reflection in the severed finger. That was why he was afraid, and why he wanted to flee that suffocating place as quickly as possible.

Of course, if we were to apply the story of the knight and the dragon to the operations of our Spirit Hall in Element City, that would also be fitting.

Yet, at this very moment, the Da Run Internet Cafe was bustling with activity, packed to the doors, and filled with lively energy. Everyone wore a smile, oblivious to the storm that was about to break.

In truth, Brother Kuan had no real intention of doing anything in public. Being a hoodlum was simply second nature to him; his actions were merely a reflexive habit.

Up on the balcony, Wu Manqing watched as Wang Ye vaulted over the wall and landed on the ground in two fluid movements, unable to help but bite her lip in frustration.

Homelander had always been the most popular member of The Seven thanks to his invincible strength, but unfortunately, his aura of invincibility had now completely vanished.

Their school, the Nandu Cultivation Academy, specialized in beast-taming courses. While this didn't mean their combat instructors lacked teaching ability, many students assumed they were only good for cultivation, leading to a decline in enrollment year after year.

Hearing that Iron Spear Li hadn't been to the North for many years, Yu Fei asked with curiosity. The man did not hide anything and slowly began to recount his reasons.

Now was the time to see if his efforts were worth it, or if he had truly been wasting his time all along.

"Run now? Run where? Once they break through here, we're dead regardless!" Ye Xiulong declared.

Next came the matches for the second-tier and first-tier disciples. Du Jinshan, Dongfang Junchen, and Lu Hua all advanced without a single shred of suspense.

The sea of stars outside the entire Silver Mist Star was shattered to the extreme, crisscrossed by countless abysses that would likely take years to heal. The distant dead stars had been ground into mere fragments.

Currently, the Heavens’ Divine Moon had only just entered the realm of transformation. If it could rely on the Nine Divine Suns in the future, it would surely grow even more powerful.

At that moment, a familiar face appeared before her. "Where are you heading? Let me take you." Cao Jianhua stopped his vintage bicycle steadily in front of Li Guyu.

"Your method of concealing your appearance is brilliant, but if we encounter a top-tier expert, they might still sense something. With me by your side, they naturally won't be suspicious!" Fearing that Yang Zhen might refuse, Huo Sisi gazed urgently at his profile.

The internet claimed she had been abandoned by the Great Demon King, and people believed it without even verifying the facts. Could anything be more ridiculous than that?

She had originally been nothing more than a standout among the outer disciples. Her initial performance with the Nine Styles of Miaoyan had been abysmal, but now she could execute all nine moves, holding her own against the inner disciples.

Li Guyu had thought she heard wrong, but when she looked up, she saw the face of Qiu An standing right at the entrance of their classroom.

Cao Jianhua didn't want the one he loved to be a flower in a greenhouse, so he agreed to let Li Guyu go on her own. Even so, he couldn't put his mind at ease and followed silently behind her.

Thirdly, the Bank of Japan might intervene to save the market during a stock crisis, which eased the anxieties of the investors.

Xuan Shao, who had once refused, claiming he lacked the talent, did not put up much resistance this time and accepted the task.

In fact, the Pure Yang Fire was the perfect counter to the spiderwebs being sprayed out. In the blink of an eye, clusters of golden flames appeared in mid-air and began to spread.
