Chapter 44

Deng Yun tightened his grip on the steering wheel and paused for a second, seemingly not expecting that she was actually on the phone with He Chenfeng.

Juedanzi nodded. Since Long Bijun had made her decision, he offered no objection. As long as any harm came to Long Bijun, not only he, but also Dumu Gu, would make Yougui Yan pay dearly.

Since it had already been brought up, no matter how displeased he was, Prince Yi could not utter a single word of rebuttal. After all, if word got out that the Princess Consort had been in the manor for so long while her authority remained entirely stripped away, what would the Grand Commandant's Manor think of this?

"Weiming," Old Lin walked over at this moment. Or perhaps it should be said, perhaps he should have understood his grandson's intentions long ago?

Shen Ling had not seen Lu Qianmo and Yun Moxi for many days. Although he felt unhappy in his heart, he still chose to believe what Qing Qing had told him.

To be precise, Putao was actually not nervous at all. The universities she applied to were quite easy to get into, and under normal circumstances, her scores would exceed the admission line by a wide margin. Barring any accidents, there was absolutely no problem.

"Let's not talk about who owes what anymore. The days ahead are still long, aren't they?" Yan Ruoyi no longer wanted to dwell on everything in the past, nor would she let herself dwell on it. She needed to know that the days to come belonged to both of them—it was what she looked forward to, and what he had to face.

If not for the lingering chill in the air, everything that had just happened would have seemed like a mere illusion that had never existed at all.

Wang Yue was an internet celebrity. Because of his exceptional e-sports skills and his deep passion for gaming, Wang Yue had amassed quite a large number of fans online.

Pondering as they went, Suyuan and Yingcao circled the barrier, trying to use their keen eyesight to spot the Tree of Ages. Not only did this barrier seal off space itself, but even their usual sensory detection methods were unable to pierce through it, leaving them with no choice but to rely on ordinary visual perception to search for it.

"Master, I want to go and seek revenge." Qingying clenched her fists, a fierce light of hatred flashing in her eyes.

How could he be any different? Sun Chen similarly wanted to step on Wang Yunlong, the senior disciple of the Xiao Family Martial Arts Hall, to build up his own momentum.

The songs of Jade Tree ended as royal destiny waned, while lines of wild geese autumn escorted to the Stone City sent. Rivers and mountains care nothing for the rise and fall of states, leaving the slanting sunset to keep the traveler's sorrow company.

Sun Chen performed this boxing routine differently from before. Beginning with the very first posture, the "Tiger Leaping Form," he executed the entire Tiger Spirit Divine Boxing without cutting a single corner.

Even so, he could not afford to relax. After persisting in his run for more than ten minutes, that long-absent wave of fatigue finally arrived fashionably late.

After yet another contestant lost to the representative of Wanjun Club, Wang Yue took his seat at the gaming station, preparing to challenge the Wanjun Club.

However, none of that mattered. What mattered was that he had no desire to be dragged down into this; otherwise, dying like that would be far too unjust.

James stared in sheer disbelief as the basketball flew right past his head. Had his shot just been blocked?

Having returned to his proper composure, Zhou Yuan and Zhenyuan sat facing each other. In the night, Longevity Mountain was cool as water, brushed by gentle breezes.

"Boss, how should we deal with these pirates? Should we hand them over to the Somali government, drown them, or simply finish them off with a hail of bullets?" asked the head of the security guards.

Seeing He Chenyi return, Tang Youran appeared extremely excited, so much so that she became somewhat incoherent.

"Reward Xinyi Jewelry with ten goblets and one hundred boxes of silk and satin to congratulate her on being bestowed the title of Lady Huai'an." Without waiting for Wang Jian to finish, Li He abruptly cut in, knocking Wang Jian's opening remarks right back down.

Following that, the special forces soldiers quietly approached the northern gate. Here stood two sandbag fortifications mounting heavy machine guns, each guarded by a squad of men. However, their morale was poor; the weather was sweltering, and there were far too many mosquitoes—they had never suffered such torment before.

With that, Dr. Rack handed a watch that looked identical to the one on his own wrist over to Qu Yaojie.

Otherwise, once the seal was lifted, those powerful beings who were already in the Saint realm lacked no resources and would probably instantly achieve Sagehood on the spot. By then, he might no longer have such a golden opportunity.

The Great Dao Avatar never imagined that after all his efforts, he would still fall short of success at the very last moment, failing to interrupt Pangu and instead trapping himself within the River of Time.

Jiang Liu hesitated and stood frozen, but Xiao Feiyan grabbed his hand and said, "Are you still a man or not, dawdling like this? Come with me!" Without waiting for an answer, she dragged Jiang Liu out.

"I... I am utterly speechless. Well then, my dear handsome man, you should reflect well on your own problems. I'm going out to get some fresh air!" With that, Xin Ye slammed the door and left.

Xie Ci'an reacted swiftly, picking up a teacup from the table and hurling it at Wang Liu's chest. Wang Liu was knocked back repeatedly, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Ci'an quickly grabbed Gu Jianchu's wrist, pulling Gu Jianchu protectively behind him.

"Look! Isn't this you? Second from the bottom." Sui Xueqing pointed to the very end of the score sheet, her tone light and breezy.

Jiang Tianxiao had just been holding a glass of red wine while exchanging pleasantries with others, but now, a chilling gleam cast a shadow beneath his dark brows.

Qi Lan had already been growing impatient, but seeing how earnest Jiang Wu looked, the anger in her chest was forcefully suppressed by quite a bit.

Rui'er acknowledged the order, scooped up the somewhat reluctant Lüluo, and left the room, thoughtfully pulling the door shut behind them.

Sheng Luan took a bite of an old-fashioned ice pop, and her eyes instantly lit up. Filled with infatuated intoxication, she sighed that following Yan Luo was simply too blissful.

Could it be that the Supreme Sword Dao Master and Sect Master of the Divine Desolate Sword Sect was secretly protecting him along the way, which was why he dared to enter battle so arrogantly and recklessly?

The only thing that depressed him was that his commuting companion hadn't shown up for over half a month.
