Volume 1, Chapter 41: Mother

As the voice faded, Liu Zhenquan vanished into the clouds to command the thunder. Bolts of lightning continually struck down to annihilate the venomous insects. Since the insects were creatures of dark yin, while thunder was born of the righteous and supreme yang of the Dao, every time a lightning flash swept past—regardless of whether it struck directly—countless insects had their souls shattered.

"Candy." It was the one Liu Yuan was supposed to bring, but Liu Yuan had been unreliable yesterday, leaving the car at the airport and failing to bring a single thing.

Because of this, Han Guofu was quite pleased. In other villages, bachelors under the age of thirty-five numbered anywhere from three or five to ten or twenty, whereas Han Village currently had only one bachelor who met the criteria—Comrade Li Dong.

Zhang Tianle's original plan was to first engage in a protracted battle with the Daoist of Reincarnation, and then lure him into the Zodiac Constellations.

Before that merchant could utter a word, several Yunzhou soldiers who had been waiting early on seized him and bound him to an old tree at the edge of the town with straw ropes, then began to whip him. These Yunzhou soldiers possessed immense strength, and after just a few lashes, the clothes over the merchant's fat body were torn to shreds.

Gu Rong looked at the tightly shut door of the room, then looked up at the time, thinking to herself that this girl really knew how to sleep.

During the distribution, Yao Tianyi noticed a peculiar phenomenon: everyone else took two books in each hand, or directly carried four books in their right hand, passing them to one another to save time and physical effort, but Zhou Bin did not.

When the Burning Heaven Great Emperor ascended to the Greater Thousand World back then, he also encountered immense perils. Had it not been for the assistance of the Luo Goddess clan members at that time, the Burning Heaven Great Emperor would never have been able to grow.

"President Tian, you're a regular customer, let's make it two hundred." This price of Li Dong's was considerably higher than frozen goods online, but two hundred for fresh, organic wild rice shoots was truly not expensive.

Indeed, that was the case. The envoy had traveled thousands of miles to come here and utter a string of warm, courteous inquiries, yet Xue Zhonglin's attitude was chillingly indifferent, refusing to offer even a single pleasant expression, leaving the envoy thoroughly bewildered.

If it were merely a matter of sending some pastries, Chu Yunxi could easily have instructed someone to deliver them directly; there was no need to specifically invite Li Mu to come over in person.

Everyone chuckled. Although it sounded like a joke, it also reflected the current status of this student named Fang Wei.

One must know that although there were at least a hundred mutants within the borders of the United States, those willing to accept government orders and possess combat capabilities essentially amounted to just this many.

"Hiss... Who... Who on earth are you?" Gasping in a breath of cold air, Zhou Nai's voice trembled noticeably. Encountering such a powerful stranger for the first time, she felt completely out of her depth.

Some people took out their mobile phones and secretly photographed the backs of Lin Feng and Yun Yun. They did not dare to photograph Yun Yun's front; if they were caught, they would likely be beaten into the shape of a pig's head by Yun Yun's jade-like, beautiful legs.

"From now on, seal off this courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or leave." Xiao Ye stopped in his tracks and gazed at the closed courtyard gates.

The concessions offered by Conrad were hardly insignificant. Although Suolong had only glanced briefly at the commercial properties at the very top of the title deeds he had just carried out, he knew the prices stated by the other party were entirely genuine.

One could only say that the power of hatred was great; Conrad's thought at the time was to find the Pacific Fleet of the United States or the Soviet Union and dump Charles on them to deal with.

Those few youths clenched their fists, the power within their bodies surging forth, and then lashed out at Lin Meng with several fierce punches.

Zhuozhuo felt a slight sense of melancholy. The emphasis Germany placed on its athletes genuinely made every competitor feel a sense of reassurance from the bottom of their hearts. Even if it wasn't a genuine injury, any physical issue an athlete faced here would receive the most meticulous and considerate care.

Mu Qian knew that these were all Wen Jianan's true feelings, but unfortunately, there had been no news of her parents to this day.

Naturally, Chen Meishu could no longer spare the attention to manage Jun Rongxian and Mu Yihan; she hurried straight to the hospital bed to look at her son. "Shengyue, how are you feeling right now? Are you in a lot of discomfort? Mom will call the doctor for you." As she spoke, Chen Meishu hastily pressed the nurse call button at the head of the bed.

Su Zhou and Frederick immediately ceased their casual conversation, both displaying top-tier professional ethic as they switched into work mode in a single second.

The contingent from Aoyang International glanced at one another and quickly reined in their wandering minds. Today they were going to negotiate the details of the contract, and a single misstep could easily leave them led around by the nose.

Ye Zining looked at Madam Xiao. She had no idea what Xiao Heng might have said to her, but she suddenly looked much older, wearing an expression of utter heartbreak and helpless resignation.

"Change... change to whom?" Meng Jingyi wrung her brains dry, yet she could not conjure up a more suitable candidate than Zhu Zhu.

Recalling how her son had defied him yesterday, he grew even more enraged. Clenching his teeth tightly, he limped his way back home.

Seeing Si Lvhen act in this manner, Jun Chenhan's heart began to waver. He was unsure whether Si Lvhen would agree to this wager.

Pang Xiaoyu had kept silent and endured it all this until now, because he had noticed that Situ Tenghui was not distracted by matters concerning Luo Xia, whereas he himself was finding it somewhat unbearable to watch.

As for driving nice cars or buying new homes, she certainly possessed the economic capability, but having failed her driver's license test N times, she had no choice but to resign herself to peaceably "riding in cars"; and buying a house was completely unnecessary anyway, wasn't it?

The fellow who had screamed and run off just a moment ago had likely blurted out Luo Xia's affairs under the influence of shock and deranged wits.

"How did you enter the military camp? Speak, what is your purpose in coming here this time?" Ye Chusheng showed her no courtesy whatsoever; having concluded she was a spy, there was no need to show mercy.

Within a couple of days, it had festered into pus, causing him such agonizing pain that he could only sleep lying on his stomach rather than flat on his back, suffering terribly.

Gazing at the Death Demon that vanished in a flash before him, Ling Xiao stowed Gordon's body into his spatial ring and sprinted wildly in the direction the Death Demon had taken.

The Chief Imperial Physician had spent long years deep within the palace walls; how could he fail to understand the Emperor's underlying meaning? When he diagnosed Consort Feng with consumption back then, he had likewise acted upon the hint given by the Grand Empress Dowager. He knew the Grand Empress Dowager wanted a reason that would force Consort Feng to leave the palace.

Because no footsteps ever trod here, it possessed an untainted, immaculate beauty, intoxicatingly dreamlike like a secluded paradise.

The six young masters, attired in magnificent robes, walked abreast down this pathway, causing countless maidens to drop their handkerchiefs. Yet, perceiving their extraordinary status, none of those maidens dared to draw near.

There was not the slightest trace of disappointment on Ling Xiao's face. In his view, being able to boost intellectual capacity by fifty percent would be a terrifyingly formidable feat.
