0153 Tricks from the First Meeting

"I have no shame at all, absolutely none," Yu Shangchen replied with a completely straight face.

Hearing this, Xie Yihuang massaged his temples, stared at Yu Shangchen, and said, "I'm exhausted. I'm going back to sleep." Clearly, this person was a Celestial Venerable, yet he acted nothing like one and was instead utterly shameless. Xie Yihuang could not bring himself to argue further; retreating to his room first was the wisest course of action.

Yu Shangchen seemed to have anticipated such a reaction from Xie Yihuang. Since he had taken a fancy to this person, pulling him into his—

No one could have imagined that it, lagging far behind the Hegemonic Killing Path in the early stages, would ultimately turn out to be the greatest dark horse in the entire world.

Such a low-grade lie; Hao Lan could not even deceive himself, yet he attempted to fool others. Should this be called self-deception, or burying one's head in the sand?

Yet Ranshu remained unsatisfied, insisting that a dance must be accompanied by music. With that, she locked herself inside her room and set to writing lyrics.

"Sooner or later, I will massacre the Kaishan Sect, and use the heads of your sect members to comfort the departed souls of the people of Linjun City!" Lin Xiaoran said with a gloomy expression.

Furthermore, the local customs and practices here were vastly different from those of the Central Plains, and the humid climate made it difficult for him to adapt.

Emperor Yu continued his journey forward in the water, riding atop a massive turtle. Ignoring the monsters along the banks, they hurried on their way. Unbeknownst to them, a monster, without paying them any mind, casually stretched out its leg and happened to kick out, knocking Emperor Yu and the great turtle upside down and sending them plunging back into the water.

Although the Queen Mother was merely warning the chickens to frighten the monkeys and putting on a show for her immortal officials, her righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor earned her widespread acclaim. Inside the grand hall, applause erupted instantly and lingered for a long time.

Emperor Yu had originally intended to cede the throne to Gaoyao, but upon learning of Gaoyao's death, he was struck with immense grief, mourning him deeply for a very long time. The elders were similarly distressed by Gaoyao's passing and subsequently recommended Gaoyao's brother, Boyi, as the new ruler.

Tang Yan soared into the sky, spinning gracefully in mid-air as he unleashed a dazzling screen of light from his hands. Caught off guard and blinded by the glare, Ran Feng panicked, hastily dodging aside before retreating a few steps to steady his focus.

The fact that it could call out the name of the Phantom Demon Blade proved that it had seen it, or at least knew of it. This only made Lin Kongxue more certain that these fiendish monsters had been deliberately "farmed" here, with a purpose that was self-evident.

Knowing he was one too many and filled with envy, Yan Dongyang could only make a sour excuse and retreat to his own room, terrified of disturbing the couple's sweet moment.

The representatives of the Nineteenth Legion led the others in blocking Yan Shisan and his companions, trapping them tightly on all sides in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for escape.

The moment the truth was exposed, Yaoyao suddenly felt herself plunging into an even deeper abyss. It seemed as though countless mysteries remained unsolved, and this truth was merely a key leading to further enigmas.

Meanwhile, the pill in Lin Yu's palm was pale purple in color, with three distinct medicinal patterns flowing across its surface. It emitted a faint medicinal fragrance; a single inhalation left one feeling thoroughly refreshed and mentally invigorated, prompting Lin Yu to exclaim in wonder.

"Hey, Lin Tian, wait for me at the hotel. I'm coming to pick you up right now!" Aida Yumi declared, hanging up the phone immediately without waiting for Lin Tian's reply. She had no desire to listen to Lin Tian's nagging, lest she lose her self-control and curse the guy out thoroughly.

The current Director-General of the National Development and Reform Commission, Executive Zheng, had already stood up. As soon as Old Mike arrived, Zheng reached out to firmly grasp his right hand while using his left hand to pat Mike's sturdy right arm.

Only the tavern waiter stood dumbfounded, staring blankly at the towering stacks of empty plates piled on Ah Qing's table, wondering how this wood sprite lady, entwined in rattan, could possibly eat so much—and specifically select dishes of the metal element to devour entirely, while barely touching those of the wood element.
