Chapter 40: Their Despair

"So, there is nothing to discuss then?" Jiang Yao narrowed her eyes. Her accomplices understood the cue and immediately began punching and kicking the hidden villagers.

The screams were incessant, and their families were heartbroken. "Stop hitting them! Oh, Village Chief, please just agree to what they want!"

"Yes, if this continues, my son is going to be beaten to death!"

The Village Chief’s expression shifted, and he gritted his teeth. "Fine! I agree! Stop hitting them!"

Combined with Lian Yunxiang leading other fans of Wan Ning to build momentum, the matter went viral on social media and caught the attention of the relevant authorities.

After reviewing it for a long time and finding no issues, he looked at the summary. It noted that a total of 385 items had been auctioned, raising a sum of 22.18563 billion.

"You can't feel that kind of passion just by watching the video. When he completed the challenge, everyone stood up and applauded. Your mother was so excited she even gave me a kiss," his father laughed.

Afterward, the two of them went to the department store, looked around, asked about prices, and toured the place. They left feeling satisfied after gathering some results.

Because Sha Zhu had been kind-hearted and helped Qin Huairu on a whim, she and her three children became a burden on him. Even the tuition for her eldest son was paid by Sha Zhu.

"Hello, my surname is Lu," Lu Mingze said, a formulaic smile on his face as he nodded slightly toward Engineer Liu.

"I heard her sister was laid out flat on the bed in the bedroom, as if she were just sleeping," Engineer Liu sighed from the side.

Wan Ning is the frontrunner for this year's Best Newcomer Award; unless something unexpected happens, the trophy will be hers.

Headmaster Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped the lid of the wooden box that caretaker Filch had placed on the table three times. The lid opened slowly with a creaking sound. Headmaster Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, crudely carved wooden goblet.

Looking at the incredulous Chen Feng, Tie Yu smiled again and returned the iron sword to him. The red light on it had vanished, and it had returned to its original state.

Yi Nielin could admit that her status was not a match for Fu Siye, but she never expected anyone to dig up this information.

After her grandfather woke up again, he was bedridden and paralyzed. Even though he felt sorry for her mother, and despite his hatred, he was ultimately powerless to do anything.

"If we don't touch them, how can we lure them to the Demon Emperor's Bell?" Gu Yue was completely baffled.

After a bowl of meat soup, everyone made it through to the next day, feeling warm. When the sunlight shone into the cave, everyone realized for the first time how warm the sun could be.

Four powerful, well-prepared area-of-effect ultimate techniques were unleashed simultaneously, clashing against the sea of thunder for a moment before they canceled each other out.

Just as tensions were at their peak, a mysterious mystic, wrapped tightly from head to toe, slowly walked over. Although his movements were light, he was still discovered by the nervous group of mystics.

But the Extraordinary Warrior Competition was different; he could openly kill Cheng Sheng and Bell. The winner takes all, and the loser is the villain.

He beckoned to the vortex, and it shrank back down, becoming a sphere the size of a fist once again. The mystic nodded with satisfaction and silently chanted a spell. The vortex between his eyebrows shot out a beam of black light, heading straight for the sphere.

"Very well. Once I have resolved another matter weighing on my heart, I will surely come to find you!" Han Ming's figure had already vanished from sight, but his voice drifted slowly through the air.

"As for you two, I have no idea! I have never met your counterparts from the other world!" Jiang Hao said with a bitter smile, waving his hand. He had truly never met the Yang Jian or the Third Goddess of the West from the Journey to the West world, so it was hard to say who was stronger.

"Giving up already? Won't you hold on a little longer?" A look of regret appeared on Jiang Hao's face.

When the two turned back to look, they saw a black figure wielding a sword snatch up the bloodied corpse from the ground, leap into the air, and disappear from their sight with a swoosh.
