Volume 1, Chapter 36: The Master of Daily Wages

An Xiaoxiao let out a cough, cutting off the gossip in the office. Everyone felt a chill behind them—it was the unmistakable aura of their director.

"You have seen him too, and that is for the best. It only confirms that following him was the right choice," Chang Xi said.

An Changqiu nodded upon hearing this. After providing his location, he hailed a taxi and headed directly to the hotel.

Gritting her teeth, Xia Anqing wrapped her arms around Chen Qing’s neck and pressed her body against his back.

The second wave of monsters deployed did not seem to require the siege engines or scaling ladders used in the first round; they could climb the city walls and batter the gates on their own.

In a soul state, one possesses no offensive capabilities unless this world allows for killing just by glaring at someone.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Han Mo was treating the matter so seriously, Lerkin didn't dare delay. He looked around the car, finally picked up the seat cover, and bent down with effort to begin wiping.

An Changqiu was clearly displaying his own strength, and Jing Ningyun was provoking him at such a time.

The Nine Provinces Plain could be considered the largest plain in the Nine Provinces, covering vast areas surrounding the City of the Nine Provinces. To the west, it borders the Red River Plain, the location where the Transcendent Ancient Palace had previously appeared.

This was Gu Feng fully unleashing the power of his "King," reaching the absolute limit of terrifying, frenzied consciousness.

However, what Jian Kong had not anticipated was that all things in heaven and earth have spirits. Within the rocks, grass, and trees, there existed spiritual energy and strange forces. Though sparse, their sheer numbers were vast. As the blood mist permeated the Ghost City of Youdu, the vegetation withered and the rocks turned to ash.

"Where are Li Wuxu and Hua Liqiao?" When they reached the spot where the two usually meditated, they found no one there.

The wound on Rob’s neck was manageable—not deep and easy to treat—but the gunshot wound on his cheek was trickier. The bullet had plowed a deep furrow into his flesh; the only fortunate thing was that it hadn't damaged the bone, or it would have been truly difficult to handle.

Jiang Yunfeng flipped through the token in his hand; it was indeed engraved with a large character for "City." Now it was his turn to be speechless. He rubbed his nose, waved goodbye to Yukihira Soma and the others, and obediently followed Nakiri Erina away from the beach without a word.

"What do we do? Just the two of us, I fear we are no match for him!" Spirit Dweller had long since noticed Yu Jiangliu’s escape, but he could no longer spare the attention. The aura displayed by the Old Ancestor of the Blood River was too terrifying—far beyond the twelfth tier of cultivation he had imagined.

"We’re here." Yang Shulin glanced at the imposing school gate ahead and couldn't help but crack a smile.

Meanwhile, on other simulation lines, the soul-devouring entities belonging to Luan flew to various vantage points under the scorching sun, taking in the entire four-hundred-meter radius.

Since it was daytime and there were many people around, Yama of the Tyrant Blade didn't want anyone to see her learning the zither. As the Third Master of Silver Tiger Mountain, where would her dignity be if she were seen? Thus, she proposed learning at night, right there on the spot.

Note: When Si Xuan said these things to Luan, it was with ulterior motives. Clearly, Si Xuan now fully understood what the Jurassic mission was all about. As for anything else, Si Xuan said nothing, for only a fool would stir up trouble openly, and casting aspersions only dirties one's own mouth.

Knocking at the door in the middle of the night was an ominous affair. Huo Yuanchen had just been in the mood and wanted to ignore it, but the knocking persisted incessantly.

Tao Ran blinked and asked, "If you don't drink it, can you fall asleep?" Saying this, she took the tea bag and went into the kitchen.

Fang Ping’s eyes narrowed. Was he going to die here? He felt unwilling, but suddenly, a bone staff blocked the path before him.

After Wang Dapeng was given items and money, he left. Ji Chunhua searched outside the ward twice but couldn't find him.

With a shift of his feet, no matter how powerful the Star God’s cluster energy on the arrows was, it could not break through Sui Chi’s defense.

She bought emergency contraception at the pharmacy across from the hotel and swallowed it dry without water. Huo Yuanchen disliked using protection, and his whims were often unpredictable; she had grown accustomed to keeping a box in her bag. She hadn't brought it during these few days back in her hometown, never expecting to run into him.

If Wang Hao had not surpassed his limits, or had only done so once, perhaps he would have advanced further, just like Leng Qingying of the Qin State.

When the two collided, the heavens and earth changed color instantly, and the surrounding ten miles were swallowed by a shockwave. The wave was like a tsunami, engulfing the forest, piling up soil, sand, and shells ten kilometers away.

Wang Yunran stared at her blankly. Zhu Xianghong held a bun in one hand and hammered her chest with the other, taking a long while before she could manage to say the word "wash."

Chen Lan no longer wished to dwell on this question. After a long silence, he spoke to Chen Jing in a very gentle tone.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have long since devised a plan to ensure that even after paying such a heavy price, the noble clans will remain fiercely loyal to the imperial court," Cao Cao said with absolute confidence.

"The letter says to order his son to raise an army of one hundred thousand to come and break the siege of the Bailao Sect," the messenger reported truthfully.

Zilong looked on with a blank expression as he was led to the basketball court by Guo Nianfei, watching her with innocent eyes.
