Volume 1, Chapter 40: Emptying the Magistrate's Private Vault

Seeing Ning Hao agree, Li Yuanba was overcome with joy. His body flickered, turning into a phantom as he lunged toward Ning Hao.

"What do you mean by 'everything'?" Chen Junyi frowned. He did not believe that the memory of Chen Yaxian existing within his own brain would have any knowledge of what was happening in the outside world.

The old man lunged forward and grabbed the box, examining it repeatedly. Yet, even after he inspected every inch of the bottom of the box, there was not the slightest trace of the life-bone lice.

Ning Hao chuckled, put away his phone, brushed the dust off his clothes, and walked toward the eaves of the main hall.

Zhang Pu had seen bluffers before, but this was his first time encountering someone as direct, ruthless, and vicious as Liu Chong. He was afraid. Truly afraid.

Du Erkang, Pan Sanwei, and Zhen Qianqiwandai visited the old man before coming to find Qin Xiao to catch up.

When others mentioned one's own cherished goals, one's spirits would always lift a little.

Liu Chong looked at Li Min, then glanced back at Xun You. He did not share his thoughts with Xun You; there were some things that were better left unknown to this Confucian scholar from a formal aristocratic family.

How dare Apple make a cheeky face at Ke Han? She had even wanted to say something, but as soon as she met Ke Han's upright yet sharp gaze, she retreated, biting her lip and fading into the background.

Ning Hao could not help but roll his eyes. This old man must have committed so many crimes that he was constantly on guard against enemies seeking revenge.

Compared to the outside, the temperature inside the scenic area was much lower. As a cool breeze blew by, Li Lechen zipped up his jacket.

A gasp of shock erupted from the audience, and chaos ensued. The statue of the Son of Wind had been the supreme faith of Wind City for three thousand years; as long as the lamps remained lit, the statue would endure.

Had it not been for the knock on the door, Liu Yu would have had to offer Li Lechen some explanation—was he awake the whole time, or had he been feigning sleep?

There was no help for it; Li Lechen had to act arrogant, for he could not open any "portals," nor could he possibly bring someone from two thousand years in the future into this situation.

The Wind-Feather Bird stretched its wings, let out a clear cry, and with its magnificent crest, soared into the vast sky.

Like the winter sun—gentle, warm, and compassionate—it kissed those delicate petals with tenderness and affection, as if adoring a treasure long yearned for.

Bai Rentu did not say a word. With agile movements, he climbed onto the roof in a few strides. It was an old, two-story stacked house. After reaching the top, he scanned the surroundings, but there was still no sign of anyone.

An Cheng picked up a wooden stick from the ground. By this time, the fish was scorched black by the fire, looking completely inedible.

However, he quickly regained his composure; now was not the time for such thoughts, he had to comfort her first.

Jiang You crouched down. At the same time, Jiang Mo let go, and her upper body slumped toward the ground. Struggling to lift her head again, she saw Jiang You.

"Bullshit! We are brothers through life and death; how the hell could I leave you here? Get down here now and follow us to relocate!" Dongfang Jiang flew into a rage, shouting loudly in a way he never had toward his brothers before.

Commentator Toxic Snake did not hesitate to reveal his sharp-tongued nature, taking the opportunity to mock the professional streamers on current live-streaming platforms who were all blowing their own trumpets.

Therefore, regardless of whether there was cooperation, China would definitely be at the top of the list of countries the U.S. suspected of scrambling for the wreckage. Thus, no matter what was done, the other side would insist on China's involvement; excessive caution was of no use.

In an instant, the brilliant light flickered, and countless strands of soul power vanished in unison, leaving the surrounding light curtains to gradually dim.

Cui Bin, who had just applied the brakes and parked the car, thought to himself how close it was. If he had been hit by these two black Camrys just now, even his aunt's dazzling blue Ferrari wouldn't have been able to withstand it, right?

But Lin Yi knew in his heart that the newly established Beidou Sect was still a scattered mess. If one spoke only of the strength of the sect's experts, the Beidou Sect was undoubtedly far ahead of other sects, but in terms of the overall strength of the disciples, it was likely far behind.

After using the high movement speed bonus from his Boots of Swiftness to easily dodge the Fox's charm, Mu Jing threw his Q-skill toward the side-rear of the enemy Fox, rather than directly behind it.

The match fell into a stalemate once again, but after the UF team traded a defensive tower with the BF team, they immediately swapped Mu Jing's Jayce and Zhuge Chuan's Alistar to the top lane, while sending Shang Moze, who had been farming in the top lane, to the bottom.

After scoring, Yi Yang shrugged as he looked at Griffin, who was still sprawled on the ground. "I only picked up the pace a little, and you couldn't keep up?"

Bazett was the first to summon. She took off her earring and placed it in the center of the summoning circle, using it as a catalyst. According to her, it was a family heirloom.

"Don't worry, if Wu Hen were to see you as you are now, he would be very proud," Fei Nansha said in a low voice, holding Wu Yu.

Otherwise, how could a thief like Wu Yong be qualified to sit before him? If not for the fear that Shi Jin might, in a fit of rage, actually unite with the Liao and Western Xia to launch a joint attack on the Great Song, Tong Guan would have long since had him dragged out and beheaded.

"Of course." Krystal was still quite reticent. She wondered if she had been too impulsive, inviting Liang Baoguang out without much thought. Now, sitting face-to-face, she had no idea what to say or do. Fortunately, the dim environment made it impossible to see the embarrassed expression on her face.

After midnight, the moon was bright and the stars were few. There was actually a full moon in the sky of this otherworldly realm, but it was blue, emitting a cold, azure light.
