Volume One, Chapter 88: Quiet Days, A Startled Heart

He did not disturb him. Instead, he examined Xianglian at once, then glanced at the quiet child beside her. Everything was fine. There was nothing wrong.

"Phoenix Shocking Nether."

Bai Ao’s face immediately darkened, but then, as if he had thought of something, that strange smile rose again.

"Courting death."

The chill in Yang Shaolong’s eyes was enough to freeze the air. He had never imagined that the people of the Azure Cloud Heretic Sect would commit such monstrous crimes. In the martial world, seizing another person’s life force, bloodline, and the like was utterly unforgivable.

Jiang Chuan naturally heard Dong Changlu’s voice, but he paid it no mind. Just as he was about to close the car door, a hand reached out and caught it.

Shen Zhiqiu finished the drawings and told Yi Yanlin she would go to Sun to see how things were, then bring him some food.

Those who had originally wanted to deal with Jiang Chuan could only let him leave for the moment, and wait for another chance to handle him later.

A sharp crack rang out in the air as Yiren drew her long whip and lashed it hard through the sky, the sound hissing and snapping.

"Yes."

The hidden guards stepped forward. The bodyguards tried to resist, but as they fled, their legs were brutally broken and they were dragged away by force, then thrown into the trunk like trash.

Through the half-closed door of the private room, Qin Sangruo and Qin Musheng listened intently for a moment. And who else could be speaking now if not Lu Yanying?

"Feng Zixuan, it must be wrong. It has to be wrong, right?" Qin Yao clung to that last straw of hope. Tears blurred her eyes as she looked at Feng Zixuan, her pleading, frightened voice making his heart twist with pain.

Everyone left the restaurant and dispersed, each going to rest at noon, preparing to continue basketball training in the afternoon.

The Assassin King’s voice was full of mockery, angering the Pope so much he nearly coughed up blood. Then, with a turn, he vanished directly.

Before he knew it, Xiao Qing had been living here for a month. Every day was meals and child care, and his life was rather pleasant.

Luo Zheyu muttered that being famous was such a nuisance. So many endorsement deals, so many advertisements. If not for Sister Li’s threats and inducements, he would never have taken all this messy business; he only wanted more good scripts.

This was absolutely a major matter. Secretly diverting demolition funds—now that was serious. And it was not impossible for them to do it. They had thrown out a smokescreen, left an empty shell behind, and only caught a few scapegoats in the end. That would have been a huge loss, and it was just the sort of trick those octopuses were used to playing.

Puffing up their cheeks to look important was practically second nature to the brothers. One after another, they pinched their noses and forced down the whole bowl of fiery liquor as though swallowing medicine.

Of course, in the shops of the entire town, there were basically only goods with no stock. After all, anyone at the Postnatal Realm was already considered a master in Blackstone Town, and there were not many in the town capable of slaying postnatal beasts.

Lin looked at Yun Yun again, feeling a tangle of bitterness and confusion. Yet by now there was no room left to avoid it. He exhaled, forced himself to calm down, and steadied his mind.

Seeing the announcement, Li Xiang felt his heart sink halfway. The deletion of the treasure site meant the Platinum Badge would no longer be produced, which would cause some people to lose part of their gold income.

They were only a group of ordinary clan heirs; they were not worth him, a dignified officer of the Ministry of Punishments, personally greeting them.

Chen Haocun barked at him in furious rebuke. That look, cold as a black night, instantly left my younger brother speechless. Then he turned to me, smiling with the utmost mockery.

"Mo Jinxuan, what the hell are you doing? Why are you not answering the phone after so long?" Mo Jinxuan frowned. If Luo Yanning had not been standing right beside him, he would have hung up without fail. Was this guy taking him for granted or what?

If they wanted to deal with the Parthenon Temple and the Pope, how could they not let Ye Xinxia come and see for herself?

At that very instant, he seemed to catch a fleeting, subtle emotion in Jiang Li’an’s eyes, something unreadable.

Today, someone had already begun racing the nightmare difficulty, a player called Great Monkey. When Li Xiang watched the person in the video, the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.

Mela was somewhat dissatisfied with the velociraptor chieftain’s reply, and snapped at him impatiently.

So everyone doted on him greatly. Only, he had far too many questions. Sometimes Xuan Yuanjin, Mela, and Mu Xing Arwen found it very trying. Only Yara had the patience to keep answering A-Mu’s questions.

"He’s lying there, almost run over by a car. I gave him a kick; he probably broke a few bones," Gu Yuan said.

After all, at the time he himself had been blocked from sight by the earth wall, and Kai and Ebisu had not yet rushed over. The three of them had all failed to see it, making it the perfect moment for Mu Mu Changye to use the Shadow Clone Technique.

"You little brat, just wait and see how I deal with you tonight," Liu Runqing said with a smile in his voice, sending a tickling warmth through Xia Zhongchun’s ears.

By now, she had never expected that someone as foolish as Ran’er would actually win the prince’s favor. And yet Wen Yuyan had the audacity to make a scene all the way here.

Enemy armies had met on a narrow road. In a situation like this, it was a contest of brute strength, with not a shred of room for opportunism.

"As for who should take charge, whom do you think is most suitable? I am the clan head, yes, but I should avoid suspicion as well. Better to choose someone else."

He had made up his mind to handle only the work and stay out of the money matters, lest he fail to get the meat and end up stained with the stench of mutton.

Wang He’s serpent tail was forcibly torn off by Yun Feng. Yet before it was ripped free, Yun Feng had already turned his head away a step sooner, so that the blood from the tail would not splash onto his face.
