Volume One, Chapter 35: The Marriage Certificate Has Been Exposed—What a Thrill

The wail of fire truck sirens approached from the distance, piercing and shrill.

As Fu Beichen’s car pulled through the main gates of the Royal Garden, he saw the flames surging toward the sky. Half the horizon was stained a deep, burning red. His heart plummeted, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. He sped to the main building and screeched to a halt. He shoved the door open and sprinted toward the wall of fire.

At that moment, Geng Jingzhong also sensed that something was wrong. He stepped forward, squinting to catch a glimpse of that young face, and was struck dumb with shock. How could this be?

Luo Wanyu reached out and playfully flicked Xun Qiandu’s nose with a doting smile. Without another word, the two left together, hand in hand.

With Tsuchimikado having spoken, no one else had any objections. Thus, the coalition army of the Ghost Slayers began their advance into Byodo-in Temple, the site of their final showdown.

In truth, she was worrying unnecessarily. At this moment, the Wolf God had no time for such concerns; he was sitting cross-legged within his tent, circulating his inner energy to stabilize himself and perform self-healing.

The main city of the thirty-sixth floor, Peterhacks, was a magnificent fortress. It housed a local self-defense force led by Lord Harlequin, which stood against the wild monsters and the floor boss that lurked in the labyrinth.

It went without saying that the two parties to the agreement were An Mu and him, but the terms that followed nearly made Black Ox’s eyes pop out of his head.

Chen Mu was nearly choked by the stench, several times on the verge of unleashing his Dragon Might to intimidate the Turtle-Backed Basilisk and make it curb its flatulence.

Meanwhile, the Earth Soul mobilized the Yin energy of the entire valley, forming countless howling wind vortexes. At this moment, the Yin energy was no longer merely bone-chilling; once it touched the skin, it threatened to freeze the meridians and internal organs. The energy was strong enough to shatter the veins, potentially causing even a Nascent Soul to dissipate into light instantly.

Old Mother Ghost never dreamed she would encounter such a situation. She wanted to dodge, but it was already too late; the sword tip, cold as autumn water, had already pierced her throat.

"No need..." Xun Qiandu started to decline, but before she could finish, Bai Wuchen had already walked out the door. Xun Qiandu’s face twitched. Did she look malnourished? Did she really?

Apologize? He would be lucky to keep his life... Jiang Chen broke into a cold sweat, but he did not dare voice his true thoughts. After all, without proof, why would Wang Yi believe him?

"Anyway, the thing is, your mainland films are just a bit low-brow... Of course, Andy Lau is quite close with the mainland; there’s nothing to say about that. But his staff? That’s a different story."

Chairman Ju was absolutely certain and saw it clearly. In fact, just as Luo Yaoxiang had said, the outcome would definitely be very bad... one could even foresee that the result would be poor, extremely poor.

Well-versed in the reality of the Spring Festival Gala, Teacher Yuan knew very well that the peak of the show was between 8:00 and 9:00 PM; after that, the ratings began to decline.

Her originally black, glossy long hair unfurled in the air, coiling toward the bobbing corpses of the kappas in the river.

However, another terrifying speculation followed: the frequency and intensity of the alien beasts appearing also matched the rising concentration of super-energy particles, especially after the appearance of powerful extraterrestrial creatures, which caused a marked increase in particle density.

Because Mo Keyue was not only a former soldier but also a current official "within the system," his way of thinking could not be as straightforward as pure warriors like Tian Youguo and Hua, nor could he be as "naive" as Tang Hede, who was becoming increasingly "Hong Kong-style."

Therefore, Russia also dispatched their domestic scientists, equipped with the best instruments, to Heavenly Court Island to conduct research, determined at all costs not to be surpassed by the United States.

Four ancient star regions flickered, shedding millions of rays of starlight that descended from beyond the heavens, manifesting as a desolate universe and enveloping the Old Madman within it.
