Volume One, Chapter 21: The Cunning Flight of the Wild Geese Southward

“Alright, since Brother Cui Bin trusts him, then of course I trust him as well. After all… he is my real brother,” Cui Ke said softly with a smile, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi.

To strengthen his own power, Liu Jianing knew he had to keep pushing forward recklessly to earn the system’s rewards.

Since the first day Cui Bin arrived at the Pink Villa, she had been deeply curious about his background. Now that he had spoken such words, Xiao Shiyu’s heart was undoubtedly rocked by a tremendous wave.

“Wretched disciple, for the sake of the two saints pleading on your behalf, I will no longer punish you. Go and reflect upon yourself in seclusion!” Hua Yu waved her hand impatiently.

First, under strict surveillance, the eldest princess of Most was secretly stolen of her seal, and now someone had been lurking right under their noses for half a day.

Yukinoshita Yukino’s hand rose gently, and the gray space tore apart in vast swathes, swallowing the monster into nothingness.

In an instant, the chief officials of the entire court suddenly transformed into merchants, nearly rolling up their sleeves to fight. Xiao Mo watched with a mixture of amusement and dismay, forced to arbitrate himself.

Liu Tian understood the gravity of the matter and dared not slacken. He solemnly accepted the order and went to deliver the instructions.

“Go home now; let Lewis cook you a steak,” Zong Ming said, bidding farewell to the person in charge before returning to Shihu Farm with Lewis and Yu Guo.

The aura of the Ghost Sovereign instantly descended upon me. I furrowed my brows, but my own aura also settled upon him. The moment my aura touched him, his energy trembled and vanished instantly.

“Good news, huh? How should I explain it to you?” The Imperial Demon’s brows furrowed slightly, then eased after a moment.

“I know my own body; I don’t need you to worry about it,” Meng Fanlang said, one hand still dripping blood, the other lifting his wine glass to drain it in one gulp.

“Director Tao, here is my identification.” Upon entering Tao Zhengming’s office, Zhuang Yi immediately produced an ID and handed it over.

“Brother Shangguan, I’m going home for a bit. I won’t come over these days since I’ll be sleeping at home. In a couple of days, there’s a family banquet,” Murong Xue said.

But the rat was unconcerned. We all knew that inside that rundown building were still Tang Dajun’s men. It just wasn’t their time to appear yet.

The matter of the photos had already been confirmed in Province A. Perhaps she could seek help from a teacher there. She remembered Teacher Huang and called him directly.

A seductress with no shame, daring to make the prince commit such disgraceful acts in broad daylight.

Yun Ji, who had long harbored resentment against him, suddenly erupted with emotion and tried to strike out.

All the players in Class 9 quickly retreated, but no one could outrun the basketball’s fall. Gu Chengfeng easily caught it, dribbled twice, then leapt and smoothly sent the ball into their hoop.

Kanai Ten’s father was the highest official of the Heavenly Division, and Long was the de facto leader. Kanai Ten’s direct superior, when Long spoke, Kanai Ten knew the matter was utterly doomed—no negotiation possible.

Just thinking about it made his heart ache as if it were being torn apart, fragments scattering into the air.

Hua Chang’an pursed his lips, and Zhou Weihua immediately understood, shutting the office door tightly to prevent eavesdropping.

Like molding clay figures, Old Sha began shaping the dust and silver water into forms. After two full hours, he spat out seven silver pellets, which shortly solidified into seven silver corpses.

To the uninformed, Gabriel, whose strength was not as great as the Archangel Michael, naturally ranked below him. But in truth, Gabriel was the oldest and wisest among all the angels.

“Don’t say that! Uh, Your Majesty Lilina, you are the wise ruler who established the prosperity of the commercial city Cycled!” The Mercenary King said earnestly.

The power feared by the royal family was obvious—not something a newly risen Li family could oppose. If they decided to follow the royal path, the Li family would be in even greater danger, risking total annihilation at the slightest misstep.

Kakuto, an S-rank rogue ninja from the Takino Shinobi Village, bore the heavy charge of “failing to assassinate the First Hokage Hashirama” and was severely punished. Believing the village unjust, he brazenly struck down all the village’s leaders, taking their hearts, causing a massive shock across the ninja world that year.

Streams of blood energy wove into a net, encompassing the entire area of the man-eating ice vines.

“No problem, no problem,” Tang Ya waved her hand and released Chen Tianyi, heading again toward the bathroom. Had Chen Tianyi not sensed danger and grabbed her in time, she might have crashed into the glass.

Gong Qianzhu stared blankly as the man stepped closer, suddenly feeling breathless.

“I can only say, as long as I’m alive, I won’t give up!” Zheng Chenheng’s voice was hoarse and low, as if drained of all strength, yet his words remained resolute.

Seeing the oily-faced, burly Zhou Gongzi approaching with a forced smile and rubbing his hands, Gong Qianzhu was terrified and at a loss, forgetting to perform the escape spell.

Once, she absorbed only the spirit energy of heaven and earth, and during every full moon, some moonlight energy. But by chance, she met a young man who coveted her beauty and sought to take liberties with her, only to have his essence unintentionally drained by her.

At the wedding, guests filled the place like clouds, roaring applause accompanying Jiang Ciyun and me as we walked down the long hundred-meter red carpet, the fragrance of tens of thousands of flowers filling the air again and again.

Wu Xiaomeng wanted to say something more, but knowing it was not the time, she could only glare hateful glances at Lin Feng.

Wang Kun nodded; everyone sat down separately. Xu Feihong sat next to Wang Kun, with Wang Xue and Tang Yan below, and Tianci and Yiyi at the back.

At that moment, as Cheng Noyi toyed with his phone, its ringtone sounded. He answered and listened quietly for a few seconds, his expression suddenly changing. After a turbulent moment, he finally calmed and, unexpectedly, wore a sinister smile.
