Volume 1, Chapter 50: I Beg You, Let Me Be Your Lover

Looking at the man before her, Qiao Nian'an couldn't help but frown.

"What on earth are you talking about!"

With a crisp slap, the thief collapsed to the ground. Taking advantage of the other NPCs' inattention, Zijin used her hand like a blade and struck the back of the thief's neck.

Li Feidao saw it clearly. As expected of the Myriad Laws Immortal Venerable, he lowered his immortal sword and bowed respectfully toward the upper position.

A familiar feeling rushed into his heart. Without hesitation, Fang Chen drew the saber from his waist and slashed toward Liu Chen's neck—which was craned forward to observe him—just like splitting firewood on a mountain.

If not for Qin Yao's special skill, he truly wouldn't have dared to confirm that the greasy middle-aged man in front of him was Shang Ning. After all, he was simply too slovenly, bearing not the slightest resemblance to a master gamer, and completely at odds with the image Qin Yao had previously seen in magazines.

God Ba, Sevenjoy, Ghost Lord, Ghost Life, and Stick—these five possessed higher cultivation bases and ran at the very front, naturally becoming the group's leaders. After running for another twenty-odd miles, the Immortal caught up, still wearing a calm and breezy smile. Knowing they were safe, God Ba ordered the group to stop and rest.

Seeing such a sword weapon hurtling toward him, Xu Xin's brows twitched involuntarily. Then, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the clouds and water surrounding the cliff intertwined to form a grayish-white sword.

"A contract? What contract?" This time it was Changsheng's turn to be dumbfounded. How could there be a connection between the Holy See and Taoist cultivators?

Lin Xi and the two children noticed it as well, but they kept quiet. If Song Zhanfeng's people managed to uncover Song Yan's scheme, it could be considered an unexpected bonus.

Realizing that her words were straying further and further from the topic, Yin Xiyao stopped. She felt the burning gazes of the three like three fiery serpents, scorching her cheeks red. To avoid their eyes, she had no choice but to lower her head.

On the very first day of getting close to Lu Jingchuan, so many troubles had already arisen. Wen Nuan couldn't help asking herself over and over again in her heart.

"So you saw me long ago, why did you only strike now?" Mu Feng asked coldly.

Perhaps even Su Mu's master, the once supreme diviner of the world, Su Fangqi, never expected that the three ordinary divination techniques he had taught Su Mu would be completely combined by him to derive an extremely complex divination chart, and the difficulty of using this chart was simply beyond imagination...

Xie Gongbao said, "Don't you understand yet? If I wanted to capture you, I wouldn't need to dig pits or set traps at all. Forget it, judging by your look, you still don't believe me. Go back to sleep. Lord Changyang is truly unlucky to have a sister like you. I was entrusted by someone, and now that I've said everything I should, farewell." With that, his footsteps accelerated in a sway, and he vanished into the dark night.

The Shangwu Army was a powerful military force held in the hands of the Shangguan family. Its soldiers were all composed of direct and collateral descendants of the Shangguan family. The four commanders who led them held even loftier positions of power; apart from the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander, no one could rival them.

His home was in the Verdant Villa Area near the western suburbs. The environment there was very quiet, a place where wealthy people lived. His home was very large, and the back door of his villa came with its own private lawn. Upon returning home, he sat alone on a chair on the lawn, leisurely gazing into the distance.

Directing his gaze toward the wooden table in front of him, Ye Yang merely shifted his thoughts, and the wooden table, with a texture as hard as iron, instantly turned to flying ash. But immediately after, the black domain violently shook, shifting from solid to ethereal, and finally vanished completely.

Clearly accustomed to all sorts of flashy show-offs, the female boss wore a look of utter disdain. "Stop blowing your horn to me, old lady. Eat if you want, get lost if you don't. There's still a line waiting outside."
