Chapter 64

On either side of that row of luxurious houses stood two rows of slightly more modest homes, which were still far superior to mine. The main house and the hall were connected by a corridor, and the walkway between the main house and the side houses stretched out to both sides, suggesting that there was yet another courtyard beyond the backyard.

“Is it because of her?” Xia Lianying suddenly raised her head, staring with jealous hatred in her eyes in the direction Xizi had left.

The door was pushed open, and Jia Mans slipped inside, closing it behind him. He turned to meet Qin Zheng’s gaze, his expression tense and uneasy.

But just as he turned to leave, the cement ground suddenly bulged, and a massive stone goat burst up from beneath the earth, tossing its head to send Pablo Langmore flying.

I reached the rock garden, found a place to climb, and scrambled up with both hands and feet.

When I arrived at the Chu family’s house, Ye Xian and Ye Wan were waiting at the door, looking as if they expected her.

“What business could you possibly have with me?” Jiao swept his robe aside and took a seat, his imposing demeanor unmistakable.

This monk was the Long-browed Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats. His five-foot brows had been completely burned away, leaving his bald head charred and black, like an old catfish. At the sight of Taibai Jinxing, he burst into tears, lamenting that the gods had launched a sudden massive assault, and in just two hours had slain half of the Western Sect’s strength. He had fought his way through to seek help.

Liao Xi could hardly believe it—surely it wasn’t impossible to find a coal mine. She knew there might not be one in Wu County, but her territory now encompassed far more than Wu County. With such a vast domain, Liao Xi was certain there had to be one.

His impatient attitude made Wang Xuanyuan’s brows crease just slightly, and the two friends beside him overheard as well. Wang Xuanyuan glanced at them, questioning, and Abrams nodded in reply, indicating it was fine to proceed now.

Gu Xingliang’s eyes instantly brightened; the Demon King was beginning to resemble the one from his dreams. With deft hands, he helped him tie the scarf.

Meng Po circled around from the other side, sitting across from the man, taking the seat directly opposite him.

A crisp tapping sound came through the microphone, clear enough to make the manager’s skin crawl.

Bai Yiran returned to her apartment. To her surprise, Gong Jin Xuan was sitting in the living room drinking tea, which was not his usual habit. The steam, rich with fragrance, wafted over her face, opening her pores and inviting her to greedily inhale the vapor. A trace of fierce energy colored his dark eyes.

The spirit beast had become Li Jingsui’s urgent desire, and the mythical horse was his longing. With both combined, Li Jingsui found no reason to refuse Niu Ben.

At this moment, Ling Xuan’s strength became apparent. With Linghu Yu’s current spiritual energy, he could only use the Sword Intent Lock three times, but with Ling Xuan’s steady supply of spiritual energy, the usage was greatly increased.

Feng Xuanyin glanced lightly at Green Court, fully aware of her loyalty, yet not quite satisfied with her prudence. She had no intention of revealing the full story to her.

“Brother, I heard you brought a patient back this time?” Xie Qinghan smiled as she ground the ink.

How could he be in her bed? She vaguely remembered being in front of the Left Bank villa, begging for news of Lei Ting, and then she seemed to have fainted.

Lin Feng’s willingness to help was not without motive. If he simply asked questions directly, the other party might be guarded and not reveal much. But if he saved them first, they would surely not deceive him.

Yang Fan let go of the ancient book, ignoring the earlier divinations, and turned straight to the last page, “Embrace Death to Find Life.”

To be honest, nothing was more headache-inducing for Xiang Yuandong than his six goofy brothers—even more so than Wang Xinyi. He wondered whether they were born with brain damage or something else entirely.

After a morning of bumpy travel, Li Sen finally arrived in the capital at noon.

Of course, Chu Tian’s actions were merely for show. If he pulled ten thousand yuan out of thin air, the waiter would likely be so shocked he’d forget which way was which.

Staring at the mechanism spheres, half embedded in the ceiling and half exposed, Liao Dongfeng surmised there must be more to them than met the eye.

Tensions were high, both sides posturing grandly. At the moment of contact, the giant turtle’s brute force sent Liao Dongfeng tumbling a dozen meters, scattering copper blocks that had lost their connection to the evil insects. Yet soon after, Liao Dongfeng gathered them up again.

“What are you doing here, Groudon?” Kyogre frowned, apparently displeased to see her.

Although Huaxia Boyun Corporation was a company controlled by the Ye family, the Ye family always operated from behind the scenes, usually leaving management to hired professional managers.

“I’m truly sorry for today. My willfulness caused the loss of the White Jade. Please accept my apologies; I’ll take my leave now.” Akagi departed the research institute with an indifferent expression. He seemed rather suspicious, actually.

This time, when the mission was complete, I must cultivate to the True God Realm upon returning; otherwise, being constrained everywhere is unbearable.

Yet these are both social outcasts, so audiences can’t help but feel a certain resonance. In this way, their needs are met, and the film gains both attention and anticipation.

So sparing with words—Su Yiyan complained, “I have something to discuss face-to-face. Wait until you get home. You’re busy at work, so I won’t bother you. Remember to eat.” She hurriedly hung up, afraid she might start asking for money if she stayed on the line.

As soon as the fat cat entered the city, it was as if it had been set free, looking left and right, heedless of anything, twisting its whiskers and making occasional comments.

To dare to step forward and block that remark—surely this person had nerves of steel. If he kept up this behavior, perhaps it was best to eliminate him; after all, such a person would inevitably cause trouble for the shop sooner or later.
