Volume 1, Chapter 38: Do Not Provoke Me

Just then, a pale cyan streak of light suddenly appeared outside Qin Ming’s Tianwu Floating Island.

Lu Shangwei, Lu Zhunian, and the Ke Lun Union orchestrated a conspiracy, imprisoning Director Lu Kaiyuan of the Qinian Group to seize control of the company, which eventually led to the current situation.

Summoning the Great Xuanwu Deity of the Daoist Sect using the power of ink and wash is a supreme Daoist art; unless one is a true disciple of the sect, the internal cultivation methods are never taught to outsiders.

Chen Youyou was already full and stopped eating, but Fang Suqin, with her frail frame, needed more nourishment and sat down to eat ravenously.

She was currently glaring at Matthew. Likely embarrassed by her fall, a flush had crept onto her cheeks, making her look quite adorable.

Reflecting on this, he decided not to return to camp and simply fled. It was his good fortune; he later reached a royal military camp and became a cook for Prince Ning. Thanks to his exquisite culinary skills, he was highly favored by the Prince and eventually promoted to head chef, enjoying a life of leisure and luxury.

Once the temperature stabilized, he planned to take the snow wolves out for a look, hoping to find something.

As she spoke, Zhaolu led Zhou Yaotang into a room. Pushing the door open, they found a large communal bed made of wooden planks, where many people were already fast asleep.

An insidious ambush, combined with fierce firepower, instantly destroyed the Type-III Cyan Rock Guardians that had been rampaging throughout the fortress.

However, if she were to feign pity or pretend to look out for her three older brothers by urging them not to be reckless, it would only serve to ignite their boundless fighting spirit.

The following scene was just Broken Sword writing calligraphy; regardless, two simple characters were made unnecessarily complex—all for the sake of aesthetics.

"It is of no consequence," Qingyuan said with a faint smile. After this brief conversation, the sense of estrangement between them had largely dissipated.

To be frank, Tang Hede lacked the sense of responsibility and service that a councilor should have toward the public. He maintained the attitude of a bystander, idling away his time in the Legislative Council, purely waiting to see the Hong Kong government make a fool of itself.

This nuclear power plant was the largest in the Bear Country, but it had been shut down eleven years ago following what was said to be the world’s most severe nuclear accident.

Practitioners focus on their inner hearts. To break through from the third heaven to the fourth and enter the realm of the Superior Being, one must first see through these worldly attachments so that the soul can cultivate into a Yin Spirit.

However, it was unclear how long this promise could last, or if it could truly be upheld at all.

Among the exotic beasts, this existence had only appeared once in Handu. Connecting this to the sudden appearance of a large number of special items in Wu Yanluo's possession, Long Tu and the Supreme Command were forced to conclude that this sixth-tier supreme being had some connection to the Heavenly Demon Gate, or might even be a member of the sect itself.

"..." Luo Yao-xiang was startled, wondering to himself what was wrong with this child, why was he so jumpy?

Back then, the attempt by Tianxiao Academy to force the Sword Spirit to reveal itself had exhausted a significant portion of the academy's resources. They had cleverly set a trap, yet only barely succeeded. The cost was immeasurable, and countless elders, disciples, and servants of Tianxiao Academy had perished.

Watching his retreating back, Immortal Lord Xianshen looked dejected, yet there was a faint air of relief about him.

The entire hall seemed to fall silent. All light vanished from the eyes of those present; the only thing they could see was that spear. It seemed to come alive, filling their entire field of vision and compressing the very space around them.

He Sheng and Liu Ge both shivered. Liu Ge, in particular, had made progress this month, but it was not significant; he likely still could not withstand the sword strike Chen Tian had delivered a month ago, let alone the Chen Tian who had now jumped two tiers in strength.

The target had appeared before him so easily this time, yet this rare opportunity left him feeling as though he had no way to begin.

A three-day holiday is actually quite short; it felt as if it had passed without doing anything. After relaxing for a few days, Yoona and Yoon-hwan returned to their respective companies.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s method of making arrests followed Song Chaozhong’s well-planned, incremental approach. They did not move against the top leaders directly but gradually closed in on the key officials.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenchuan glanced at Chen Ping, who was sitting across from him. Zhao Zhenchuan knew full well that his heavy smoking was entirely thanks to Chen Ping. If it weren't for this guy bringing him one surprise after another, he wouldn't need to smoke so much to help his brain analyze and process everything.

She understood what many were thinking; perhaps the Empire was preparing a counterattack and providing them with only the bare minimum of security, leaving them more to fend for themselves.

As he departed, Camille turned back for some inexplicable reason. The faint smile on Schneizel’s face gave him a sense of impending conspiracy.

The one speaking was Kunpeng. He took a deep look at Ling Feng, then followed the Pluto and the Yin Empress, leading the group of underworld practitioners away.

"As expected of a Soul Weapon-level existence, it dodged the vital organs and only injured the knee." I felt heavy-hearted, lamenting that I had failed to eliminate the opponent immediately.

After saying goodbye to Liu Miao'er and Sovereign Mo, he followed the entrance all the way here. Along the way, there were neither the sudden dangers he had been constantly guarding against, nor the trials encountered in the Cave of Life and Death. He had reached the end, safe and sound, and with perfect ease.

"Dad, please rest well. The doctor said you will be fine." Jiang Ruoxi knew Leng Yan was awake, but apart from saying these things, she could say nothing else. She certainly could not bring herself to mention the divorce Leng Yan had proposed.

"Husband is an idiot, a fool, a simpleton." Meng'er cursed a few times, then ran out in tears.

Although he had the help of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, he heard that Pang Tong was guarding Jiangxia to prevent their Jiangdong navy from advancing, while Xu Shu had been transferred elsewhere. Only Zhuge Liang remained by his side. Despite Zhuge Liang's immense talent and ability to shoulder much of the burden, there were still many matters that required Li Zhe’s personal review.

How about it? Does this story sound romantic? I have always looked forward to the day when, while traveling around the world, I too can create a beautiful memory with some man amidst the green mountains and clear waters.

The two arrived at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, where staff members were organizing the passengers and conducting safety checks.

Early the next morning, Gan Ning’s soldiers had recovered their strength. Having rested well all night, the entire army was armed and waiting, each soldier filled with high morale.
