Chapter 64: Be a Good Girl, Just Bear It a Little Longer

Huo Yixun drove the car into the Huo family estate. He did not mention what had just happened to Jiang Shiyi because he considered it bad luck. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Jiang Shiyi could not be bothered to ask.

Huo Yixun brought Jiang Shiyi back to the Huo residence, carrying in his hands the introductory gifts Jiang Shiyi had bought for the family. Knowing that Jiang Shiyi was coming today, Madam Huo had instructed Huo Tingjun early in the morning to bring the Elder Madam Huo and Elder Master Huo over from the old ancestral home so they could meet their prospective granddaughter-in-law.

Mo Qing remained silent. After all, adjectives like bloodthirsty and cruel had long since become labels attached to demons. As long as one was a cultivator of the demon race, no one could escape it. What was even more fatal was that many demon cultivators actually rather enjoyed such titles, and indeed, they acted accordingly.

The bandit leader was visibly startled for a moment, then waved his large hand, signaling the two trusted aides who had come out with him to draw their blades and prepare for battle.

"Hmph, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" A disciple of the Alchemists' Alliance curled his lips in a cold sneer, completely disregarding Yun Hao's methods. How could such weak fire-control techniques ever hope to rival his own?

Shen Jialang's Langya Moxue was grabbed with a sharp snap, ruthlessly twisted into the shape of a dough twist, and tossed aside.

To avoid drawing unwanted attention, and at the platoon leader's request, they had all changed back into their own civilian clothes.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian nodded majestically, yet he felt a strange sense of blood-bound familiarity emanating from the array guarding the imperial palace.

After his stroke, Emperor Yongchang's mind was no longer as sharp as before—or perhaps it hadn't been very sharp to begin with, and now it was even worse. The crown prince had delivered an overwhelming amount of information, and Emperor Yongchang had to ponder it slowly, piece by piece, in order to figure out how to refute his son.

Had they discussed it nicely and reasonably, Chu Yang might have listened. But Cai Yeguang insisted on being belligerent, and given Chu Yang's unyielding character, he was bound to snap right back.

"The monks of Qixia Mountain, is there a problem with them?" This time, it was Grandfather Man's turn to be surprised, because Chu Yang's reaction was simply too bizarre.

What astonished Zhao Zolong the most was that the blood-red serpent hidden deep within his dantian was also enhanced a hundredfold during this process, beginning to stretch out of his body like a tail and sway with great agility.

"Dare to say nobody likes me? Believe it or not, I'll go out and drag a few dozen men back for you tomorrow," Gong Xuehan said.

Although the Saint Martial Academy was considered a high-end institution, its tuition fees were very low, and thus it did not provide bedding or other dormitory supplies.

Next came the championship battles for another 59 combat zones, which, as expected, I secured using the exact same pattern. The "Haogu Regular Army," "Haogu Demon Realm Army," and "Haogu Dragon Clan Army" were upgraded to Ultra-Tier 68, Formation Four-Color + Level 51, while other troop types such as the Xiliang Bandits received even greater boosts. The original subordinates were upgraded to two Level 11 Headquarters of the Supreme Commander.

"The Demons..." Linda and Lucia were dumbfounded. Rod, far in the distance, unexpectedly... That appearance filled them with dread. He was a demon. He was a demon! The situation far exceeded their imagination. Their initial excitement and relief vanished completely, their hearts plunged into the abyss, and a flood of doubts rushed into their minds.

You Yinhuai was overjoyed in his heart and immediately began circulating his spiritual energy through his body according to his own cultivation route.

At this moment, the elders and leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi in the conference room finally realized that Yamaguchi Dudu was no simple figure—he was actually far more formidable than his old man! Therefore, the surviving elders and Yamaguchi-gumi leaders now began to cast a renewed and respectful gaze upon Yamaguchi Dudu.

"Yes, Boss Du! They aren't—they aren't even peripheral members," Niu Dadu stammered nervously, standing frozen to the side.

Meanwhile, apart from the reporters from various press outlets swarming around to interview the celebrities, a section of the journalists immediately rushed back to their newspaper offices after the auction concluded to churn out their articles. After all, the hot topics generated by this auction were simply too numerous.

If Jinhuyuan had money on the books, yet Wang Huaizhong could not get his hands on it, the only possible explanation was that Xia Mingzhu had been meddling behind the scenes.
