Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Disappearing Woman (28)

The brothers all braced themselves with utmost vigilance, ready to fight to the death for the King of Wuqi, but Ran Fei instead ordered them to return to their camps and wait for the right moment.

As it came running to his feet, sniffing and barking twice, Zhao Tianming felt a surge of annoyance and kicked it away. If it dared come again, he would give it a seat with a stool.

Zhao Tianming was not affiliated with the Jinhe Auction House, so he had no reason to worry about their troubles. As long as his own treasures fetched good prices at the auction, that was all that mattered.

Without warning, a tremendous explosion erupted. The room shook violently, cracks splintered across the walls, and a chunk of ceiling collapsed, smashing a table into splinters.

This was his final wish; if not for this desire, he might have long since departed from this world.

It turned out that the other side was a striptease stage made of transparent crystal, beneath which lay a blue underwater world teeming with vividly colored tropical fish swimming leisurely.

At the back door, the burly David crouched atop several large wooden crates, clutching a machine gun, hiding behind the wall and firing intensely through the electric fence.

This was imperial might—the true power of an emperor—and instantly, he was completely overwhelmed by the imperial aura emanating from the ancient bronze sword.

After swallowing five Tiger Bear Python Yuan Dan pills, Chu He felt uneasy and refrained from taking more. Just as he intended to investigate what had gone wrong, a terrifying event suddenly unfolded.

Having spoken, he noticed Ye Su’s increasingly grave expression. Lin Jinge was also infected by this mood, her heart tightening with tension.

Moreover, the Star Devouring Technique possessed an additional divine function called the "Starry Sky Refining Method," which transformed the entire universe into the user's own domain, devouring all energy within it.

Ye Yun took pride in the rewards brought by his victory—what use was winning without reward? At this time, Ye Yun planned to invest effort into nurturing the Luban Sevens to break through the first stage and enter the second.

Hong Jun’s heart flickered with a cold, lonely thought, then spiraled out of control. He tried with all his might to suppress it but failed.

They were all innate deities who existed before the world was formed, unfamiliar with the principles of the Great Dao. Their cultivation and strength were solely based on their own perception and talent.

A moment ago, he still cherished ideals of unyielding dignity and incorruptibility, but upon seeing his own energy, such thoughts vanished instantly.

He stepped before Lin Mianmian, grasped her chin gently, lifting it so their eyes met.

But something was off. Even if Gan Lan was naive and inexperienced in social affairs, she wouldn’t say such provocative things in public.

Upon hearing Li Jun’s words, Zhou Jing finally realized and first gave an awkward smile, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Fan Xiaoyou intended to gossip about what past event had made Wang Guocheng weep, but seeing his dark, inscrutable expression, she changed the subject.

The man narrowed his eyes, outwardly calm but inwardly as soft as silk swayed by a spring breeze.

He only remembered striking back the bewitching man’s "Underworld King Thirty-Six" attack, then feeling chaotic pain within, before lying in a warm embrace and arriving here.

“Let’s go see!” Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively, abandoning his training, and rushed toward Qiao Xi and the others’ residence.

Poor Dai Mubai still didn’t know what kind of dream the peach he gave Zhu Zhuqing had caused her to have.

“Young master!” Gui Yi’s voice trembled. The entire city was wiped out with no survivors, just like the South Tower. Before understanding everything, Dongfang Xue ordered an assault on the city. Gui Yi’s face was filled with worry.

After all, it was already afternoon, and Anyang City was hundreds of miles away.

Feng Lihen didn’t know the extent of his love for her; whenever he saw another man approach her, he felt deeply jealous.

Today was the day when new inhabitants registered annually within the territory—a day when all levels, whether village, town, or district, unified in the process. People moved about the streets, whispering among themselves upon seeing Xia Ming and the others.

The emperor Huang Mang appeared fierce and intimidating. Although Meng Po’s strike seemed casual, its concealed killing intent and dreadful aura made Huang Mang wary. He dodged Meng Po’s fierce attack.

Her son was cold toward her, wasn’t he? Since he cared for Xia Mian so much, why not show kindness and not trouble Xia Mian?

“Have you offended any cats?” Ye Sihong asked. He knew to inquire when likely offending humans, but had forgotten to do so regarding cats.

A prompt sounded, and Ling Feiyu suddenly noticed Cheng Zili’s phone lying atop the prop box beside her.

“That’s all I have to say. I’m not going in any further. Goodbye.” Saying this, Li Bu immediately returned to his chamber.

Lu Shaoyou’s sudden tenderness left Lan Ziyi flustered and a little unsettled. Nestled in his arms, she wanted to smile, but hearing him tell her to ignore Bai Jinmo’s entry into the company, she felt slightly indignant.

Zhao Shiting guessed she had been frightened into a daze but was now calm again; the earlier stupor had vanished.

“I have good news for you. But I’d gladly come wash your clothes anyway.” Wu Shufang handed me an orange.
