Chapter 20: Madness

The divine punishment functions, powered by immense divine strength from different worlds and enhanced or improved by gaming systems, began to manifest.

During the "Frost-Continuity Grass" incident, the Provincial Governor Jin was on the verge of retirement. It was precisely because Xiao Fan had painstakingly collected the grass that the Governor was able to continue his duties. Furthermore, because of the severe trauma the Governor's body had suffered, he required a follow-up examination by Zhu Yu and Xiao Fan every month.

These art students possessed a sensitivity and depth in their aesthetic perception that was truly superior to that of ordinary netizens.

So, one should never touch "water money" (usury). Once involved, unless you have a background like Zeng Fei, or a highly profitable and stable financial path to repay the principal and interest in a short time, the inevitable end is the ruin of your family.

Just as he was feeling hesitant about this, another man in black, dressed similarly to them, ran in hurriedly.

Coincidentally, while they had never experienced such a thing, Gu Shang was different; in his previous life, he had participated in many such auctions.

Though only a month had passed, Hao Mingxing’s temperament and state were vastly different from before. Even Wang Mo could see that he had grown significantly during this time.

The Great Song Dynasty, despite always losing in conflicts against Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom, never once lost the war of words.

Since you enjoy the glory and wealth of your family, you must contribute something in return! Have you not seen the love story between the heiress of a prominent family and the male singer in a certain southern port city? That heiress ultimately bowed to family pressure, gave up her love for the singer, and entered a marriage alliance with the scion of another wealthy dynasty.

Once a singer forms their own style, expressing emotions in songs becomes less difficult; one simply needs to reveal their true self and infuse the music with genuine feelings.

"I'm fine, really. These are just superficial wounds; they look scary, but they don't matter," I said, offering gentle comfort.

Everything on the "Mad Doctor's" side was ready; now, all that remained were the arrangements on Chen Tian's end.

Hearing Captain Zhu's words, I was slightly stunned. I knew Chen Shanhe wasn't the type to act recklessly, but I hadn't expected it was Captain Zhu who had told him to keep his distance from Zhu Ting.

Suddenly, Sheng Wushuang’s eyes lit up, and she let out a cry of surprise, her face full of curiosity.

At around eleven o'clock last night, we were watching TV when her phone rang. After speaking a few words, her expression changed, and after hanging up, she immediately got dressed to leave, claiming there was an emergency at work.

The expression on his face was one of complete shock and horror, as if he had seen something impossible.

A look of astonishment crossed Han Juanyuan's face, for with her current level of cultivation, she had failed to capture the trajectory of Han Zheng's movement; it was as if he had simply appeared beside her, without leaving a trace of energy fluctuation.

He analyzed and studied it continuously, discovering that the hand possessed an extraordinary ability to self-heal, resisting the invasion of various viruses, showing not even a hint of decay.

Because of a single sentence from Yue Lingshan, Xu Chen couldn't focus on the lecture for the rest of the day; his mind was entirely occupied by how Yue Lingshan might reward him.

The swordsmanship was profound and cunning, casting a web of sword shadows in the air as it struck directly at all of Xu Chen's vital points.

Chu Qiyou had lived for twenty-five years and had only sat on one once. And even that one time was because he had been forced by the Big Yellow Duck.

Flicking his sleeve to block Xiao Suchen’s strike, Li Yan shifted from defense to offense, leaping behind him. With a flash of cold light, a translucent, white longsword was pressed against Xiao Suchen’s neck. The sharp blade shimmered with a faint blue light in the sunlight, clearly a weapon that would draw blood upon contact.

Qin Yue was torn between laughter and tears; he never knew Su Xia had such a cute side.

"800,000. Are you ready?" The lead man swung the iron rod in his hand fiercely, grinning broadly.

It could never have imagined that the Progenitor would be so vastly different from "Riben"... But it didn't matter; the Progenitor had once been a Main God and was different from "Riben." "Riben" was an outsider, while the Progenitor was born in the Eternal Void. Perhaps he could still ascend to the rank of Main God within the Eternal Void.

Back home, the blood had matted the fabric to his pants, making them impossible to remove. After some thought, Zhou Xuan simply cut the jeans open.

"Then let's search her office first," Su Xiaoxiao said, leading the police to Tian Yishan's office.

"You just need to find a replacement!" A breeze blew, and the Prince's long, raven-black hair danced in the wind.

Returning to the hotel's buffet restaurant, Ye Xiaomei grabbed a few things and sat down, realizing she couldn't actually eat that much.

"You are mine today." He shot her a wink with his long, attractive eyes, speaking with arrogant playfulness.

"You transferred out of 'Shenglan' without saying a word. I didn't expect you to come to 'Gongming'," Mi Xue pouted. She had tried to find out where Ouyang Yingqi had gone back then, but couldn't find a thing. It had made her sad for a long time.

"Haha... Mother is shy!" Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh as she remembered being teased by Chen Yan just moments ago.

Thinking this, Lin didn't have any profound realization, but the mention of money triggered a chain of associations, leading her to think of her own predicament, which stirred a sense of confusion.

By now, twenty-six demobilized soldiers had arrived one after another, plus Wang Jiaye, Lu Huosheng, Zhao Dazhuang, and Qin Fake, as well as the six comrades previously brought by Liu Yunchuan, there were thirty-six demobilized soldiers in total.

Lin read the brief mission description twice, then opened the map, entered the three names, and searched... The result was predictably disappointing.

"General Yuan, it has been many years since we parted in Luoyang. Have you been well?" With a calm expression, Liu Bei stood alone on horseback before the vast army, facing Yuan Shao’s forces without a hint of fear. He cupped his hands slightly and called out loudly to Yuan Shao.

"Granted. I will personally hold the line for you." After glancing at Jia Xu and seeing no intention to intervene, Dong Zhuo reached out to help Tai Shici up and spoke.

Next was the final match of the afternoon, featuring Cai Chengjun, a "venom-man" from the first group. His saliva was highly toxic, and even the breath he exhaled could knock a person unconscious, making a confrontation with him extremely dangerous.
