Chapter 48

He made a secret calculation. Now that his true qi had recovered, barring top-tier masters like Wuyazi or Li Yan, even if he could not defeat them, escaping unscathed would not be a problem.

"There are no better alternatives at the moment, and among all of us in the branch, your lightness skill is the best," Qi Dian said helplessly.

With great difficulty, Ling'er dragged Qi Yang to a spot illuminated by moonlight and immediately began undoing his robes.

Because it had figured out that as long as it kept trying to snatch the mottled bamboo pole from Shen Mo's hands, Shen Mo would never let it succeed.

In this day and age, every organization is ruthless and kills without blinking. Asking themselves, even they could not be considered good people, so it did not matter.

Listening to the chaotic chatter from everyone, Yin Wenjiao was filled with grief and indignation. If not for the unborn baby in her belly, she would rather have dashed her head against this building and died.

Xiao Zhan was weeping bitterly on the inside, struggling as he teetered forward in high heels while continuously pressing his palms together and saying "Sawatdee ka" to the people around him.

Bodhisattva Guanyin was overjoyed in her heart, yet she feigned fierce anger and said, "That insolent demon actually dared to transform into my likeness!" With that, she picked up the precious pearl-inlaid vase in her hand and hurled it fiercely toward the center of the sea.

A pickup truck parked outside a pawnshop in Chinatown. Several burly men hopped out, efficiently carried two large crates into the pawnshop, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

Back then, the Kunlun Secret Realm had already become a wasteland, and they had barely escaped with their lives after exploring its depths.

At the same time, several cute young girls surrounded him, all chiming in with well-meaning words.

He already felt overwhelmed taking care of both of them, and if Shi Juntao were to start crying along as well, his head would practically explode.

Ordinary Winged people only attain a pair of wings capable of flight upon reaching adulthood.

"Precisely, I am going to be on top!" Since she could not escape, Shen Wan refused to be the one pinned down; even if she was going to be bedded, she was going to be on top.

Xuan An'an spoke so casually, yet Shangguan Yuan felt a suffocating tightness in his chest, as if his heart was being pinched bit by bit.

Jin Feng let out a heavy snort, turned around, discarded his bathrobe to the side, and stepped back down into the hot spring pool.

Qin Su had already developed a deep, heartfelt reverence for this eldest brother whom she had yet to even meet.

"You..." The dissatisfaction that had already reached the tip of her tongue was forcibly swallowed back down into her stomach when she encountered the other person's wrath-filled gaze.

That damned man was truly going too far; did she not even have personal freedom? Tonight, after she went back, she would definitely make things clear with him. True, she was living in his house, but it was not by her own choice—it was forced upon her by him.

As for why this medical convention was being held in Jinling, it was mainly because several leading enterprises in the industry were based right there in Jinling. Since they were the industry giants and leaders, they naturally had the right to set the rules, so naturally, the convention would be held wherever they pleased.

The fact that he would take the opportunity to place her under house arrest precisely showed his lack of confidence in his game of wits and will with Dan Liancheng. Dan Liancheng certainly was not afraid of fighting him to the death, but with her and Linglan in the picture, things were different.

Seeing me staring at him unblinkingly, Boyin suddenly reached out, pinched my collarbone, and stroked my face.

The maid following behind walked in carrying a white suit of armor, lined with a silver-gray long robe inside, looking immensely majestic.

Although he had taken Aimuy out for meals before, for some reason, whenever he brought up the topic today, he felt inexplicably awkward.

No matter where she went, she could see the shadow of Si Junhao, and she felt that hiding here was probably the only way to be safe.

"Chenchen, what are you doing?" Yu Kexin sat on the floor, still recovering from the scare, and frowned as she looked up at the meticulously dressed Ye Chenmeng.

With Yu Kexin suddenly popping up, she had caused her precious son to act as though he were bewitched, wholeheartedly shielding her. As if that weren't enough, even Xin Zongcai was now speaking up for Yu Kexin. With her own status shaking, naturally, she did not feel very well about it.

Fuming with anger, Fengyue yanked the reins, mounted her horse, dropped a "Let's go back" to the two of them, and then galloped straight toward the Marquis Anguo's Estate.

Only then did Xu Lu realize she had strayed far from the topic. Perhaps it had been too long since she had opened her heart to anyone, which was why she could not help confiding these things to Wei Renwu.

Wang Xuanmin took the human-skin mask, walked to the bathroom, tossed the mask into the bathtub, and pulled an ID card from his pocket.

Xia Da answered his questions one by one, but when Murong Qiufeng asked whether there were no living creatures in the seawater beneath snow-capped mountains and ice sheets, or in certain remote areas, she expressed genuine astonishment.

Wu Yu hurriedly lifted the clothing on the model, only to be greeted by a massive beer belly. Judging from the hair around the navel, it was clearly the belly of a man.

"Very well. Start making preparations now, and shortly thereafter, we will head to South Africa together," Qing Xin said.

Ye Feng had been worried that Gu Xiaorui's personality would make it difficult for her to get along with Li Mengqi and the others, but now it seemed his worries were unfounded.

Her body enveloped in golden light, Shiyan raised her fist once more, and then—like colliding bars of steel—she ruthlessly hammered them down upon the fire lotus. Deafening, clanging sounds pierced through the surrounding area, accompanied by terrifying ripples of raw power.

Just as he was deep in thought, an elegant and familiar figure entered his field of vision. Tang Xiaowan was wearing a red down jacket, a cute fleece hat on her head, and thick woolen gloves on her hands, her clothes already lightly dusted with falling snowflakes.
