Volume 1, Chapter 41: Giving Zhou Cong an Ultimatum?

She would be sure to repay them well once she got out.

Just then, the iron door was opened again from the outside. Fu Juechuan instantly retreated behind her, concealing himself in the shadows.

Ye Qiaojiao regained her spirit, squinting her eyes to look at the person appearing in front of her. To her surprise, it was Jiang Yao, shoved in by a human trafficker. She looked disheveled, the corner of her mouth bruised from a beating; her eyes were no longer covered.

"Go over there and squat," the trafficker said, tossing Jiang Yao not far from Ye Qiaojiao. Jiang Yao’s eyes were red, and she cast a resentful look at Ye Qiaojiao.

Ye Qiaojiao ignored her, for at that moment, someone else stepped out from the outside. Upon seeing who it was, Ye Qiaojiao’s expression changed instantly. Zhou Cong was following...

Yu Subai seemed startled by the ringing, taking quite a while to pull out his phone and check the caller ID, after which he couldn't help but frown.

As for him, he hurriedly unfurled the wings on his back, though the cave was far too narrow.

Seeing this, Li Feng closed his eyes directly, seemingly unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

He flipped through the pages one by one, desperate to return to the old family mansion immediately and make his grandfather see their true colors. Was this what they called family affection?

He went to the registrar and calmly told them the living expenses hadn't arrived, the implication clear: he couldn't pay this month's tuition either. The old men looked deeply disappointed; hadn't it been said during the registration process that this was a child from a wealthy family?

But Shen Munuan remembered that she had indeed told Liao Xiaomin not to appear before her, so she didn't take it too much to heart.

Divine Doctor Zhao had the air of a modern doctoral supervisor urging a student to hand in their experimental report. Qu Miaoyan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat; it seemed that no matter the era, there was pressure in conducting research.

Yet, it was merely a thought. The world held too many secrets; if he were truly asked to explain the ins and outs, he wouldn't know where to begin.

Lu Chengxing was momentarily stunned to hear such a confession-like statement.

Only then did she realize that she was drenched, her white undergarments faintly visible beneath her pale yellow batwing sweater.

A golden domain appeared—it was the God-Forging Immortal-Sealing Domain. Wang Xuan actually possessed two domains! The Extreme Tiger King nearly lost his composure and let his own domain shatter. How could anyone in this world have two domains? Was he even human?

"Elder Xiong, the Senior Sister knows how to refine medicinal pills that can help you restore your true physical form. Don't kill her!" the fallen Han Feng shouted urgently.

These were the sounds of combat in the darkness. In the blink of an eye, Su Lin had already exchanged hundreds of moves with the hidden opponent.

A black piece was held in his hand, long refusing to drop. Han Feng held his breath, his consciousness surging as he invaded the chessboard to analyze and seek a way to break the deadlock.

Taking advantage of the moment Burdisso dodged a boulder, Xiona used her sheer willpower to temporarily break free from the spell's control. Gritting her teeth, she struggled to retrieve the mechanical intellect potion and downed it in one gulp.

At that moment, Lin Qingxue, who had just rushed to finish checking her luggage at the shipping counter, was preparing to head to security for boarding. Turning around, she suddenly saw this scene not far away.

Although they were far apart, Lin Tian’s hearing was excellent; he heard the conversation between Hua Ze and the manager, but there was nothing he could do about such matters.

"What if Zhixian were to govern Andong Guard? Or Qingzhou Prefecture? Or perhaps..." Bi Fangji was startled by his own sudden, wild thought, yet it refused to leave his mind all night.

Just as Chen Xi had once been the undisputed leader, they knew very well that only with the clear support of the God Race could they have enough confidence to become the new high-level officials of the Federation. Conversely, no matter how loudly they shouted or even if they gained control of the Joint Fleet, they would never win the recognition of the Federation people.

The air was extremely hot, distorting the very atmosphere. Shadows were stretched into jagged pieces, a terrifying sight, and every breath caused a sharp pain in their chests.

Waiters, naturally, were gifted with silver tongues. No matter which style you chose, they would surely praise your taste, and so on.

Sun Wukong clenched his fists tightly against his chest, his eyes showing not a shred of fear, only the desire and excitement for battle.

As Yang Ming rode out of the city gate, he heard Lu Bu’s roar. Turning back, he saw that Lu Zhongyou, in order to buy a little time for him to escape, had thrown his body onto Lu Bu’s steed as it passed the gate.

Lin Xinyue’s delicate body trembled as she excitedly accepted the Sacred Moon Sword, her eyes filled with infinite joy.

As for Princess Butterfly, because she refused to open the Bat Cave even at the cost of her life, the High Priest had locked her lifespan and imprisoned her here.

Yes, perhaps one such contact explosion wouldn't have killed the vengeful clone, but Zhang Tianshi was waiting not far away; he would deliver the killing blow at the right moment.

If A-Yun had any uncertainties, she would consult Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi, and the three of them would make a firm decision with a wave of their hands.

At this point, Ye Xiu, having traveled dozens of miles in a hurry and spent half a day busy with stone-cutting, was covered in dust on his clothes and hair, looking dusty, travel-worn, and somewhat slovenly.

Sun Jian and Bao Xin also stood up to speak. Their words should be true; such men, who lacked hypocrisy and pretense, would not speak against their conscience.

Just after selecting this geomantically auspicious location, a buzzing sound rang in Chen Jin’s mind. Immediately following, a beam of golden light shot from between his brows. After circling around Chen Jin a few times, the shimmering light seemed to fly toward the tree, appearing somewhat reluctant to leave.

As winter approached, the weather had gradually turned cold. Although the sun was shining outside, the shadow of the building opposite kept the window area out of the sunlight, and with the breeze, it was still quite chilly.

"It's nothing." Hu Ming hung up the phone and let himself collapse onto the trash-filled sofa, finally unable to hold back, he burst into tears.

Qingyue turned back abruptly and took a step back, only to find nothing behind her. This familiar sensation reminded her of the situation at the Cangyue Palace on Cangcang Mountain.

The Xiongnu had long received news of Li Guang’s reckless advance and had gathered a large force, preparing to ambush him.

But after all, this was a match. Once Chen Hu displayed his true strength, the victory was destined. As Puvannov rushed forward again, Chen Hu lifted his leg in a "Tiger Tail Swipe."

Moreover, the conclusion they had reached during their discussion back then was that Tang Mengqiu sending a car to pick up Xu Chen was merely a misunderstanding, born of her wanting to use Xu Chen out of respect for Xu Tiance.

"What's the matter?" Qidie asked, somewhat confused. Yi Shaoqing was not surprised. He wound her hair around his fingers and toyed with it—a habit he seemed to have retained.

With the spirit turtle in hand, spiritual energy surged forth, corroding and dissolving the turtle’s body entirely. Several strange cracks also appeared on its green shell.

Yue Lao: ...Apologies everyone, forgive me, the Divine Maiden must have been watching those messy palace intrigue dramas again.

"As long as she can save my brother, whatever she wants, I will surely give it to her," Qidie said resolutely, without a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
