Volume 1, Chapter 40: Lu Shao Saved You, And Then What?

She stamped her feet, intending to walk further away, but the lingering terror of having been dragged into the frigid pool by a hand just moments ago compelled her to return to Murong Ke’s side.

Having gained experience from the previous attempt, he proceeded with much greater confidence and efficiency this time around.

Luo Xingchen felt the gale-force winds battering his face, the sound so deafening it rattled his very spirit and affected the flow of his blood.

He Tiexi burst into thunderous laughter. As his laughter echoed, the entire statue began to crack and crumble, cascading downward and turning into dust bit by bit. Only the iron spear remained, its rust flaking away to reveal a dazzling, brilliant light.

"Mr. Wu, this price is already beyond my expectations. Is there any room for negotiation?" the team leader of the Emperor Squad asked obsequiously. In his heart, he had cursed Andre and his cohorts a thousand times over; if it weren't for that fool, would they have ended up in such a predicament?

Furthermore, Ye Lan'er surmised that since the eldest princess knew Gu Qingchen's true name, she likely held some leverage over him, forcing him to sell his body and marry into her household.

Ding! System Announcement: In the Huaxia region, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun have launched an uprising with unstoppable momentum. Their faction gains a 30% overall strength bonus. All players who join the Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun faction will receive double points for killing enemy forces and gain one extra resurrection chance without penalty upon death.

Yellow Rose and Purple Rose swapped their armor. Compared to their eldest sister’s maturity, the second and third sisters were still developing, yet their sultry figures were enough to make anyone’s nose bleed at a single glance.

After securing the blue buff, the Monkey reached level three. A level advantage meant a direct attribute suppression. Ah Ke felt a surge of despair—why did the Monkey have to level up at this very moment? Why couldn't it have waited just a little longer?

Sometimes, my heart aches; I cannot fathom what they are thinking, as they seem only to care about leaving.

The White Snake hissed, "The debt you owe today will be repaid one day. If you cut off my head, I shall usurp your head; if you sever my tail, I shall usurp your tail. Now that you have cut me in two at the waist, I shall sow chaos within your clan from the middle."

Under the combined assault of Captain Gangplank’s cannonballs and the "Airplane’s" missiles, the health bar of the white-clad old man plummeted rapidly, dropping to one-third of its capacity in mere moments.

Originally, after Ye Hetu died here, he thought it was impossible for him to ever live again, for the illusions in this place were far too realistic—terrifyingly so.

In truth, as long as Ye Xiaofeng willed it, he could create any environment he desired anywhere he went.

But now, the world was in such chaos that the old order had completely vanished. As the financial order crumbled, these once-exalted noble families would have to face challenges from all directions.

"What kind of logic is that? You took my arm without my permission, so why can't I put my arm around your waist?" Tang Ye grumbled, displeased.

The diameter of this massive tree must have been four or five kilometers, right? It was simply too colossal.

When the time comes, have Grant lead them inside. No matter who these thieves are, we... must ensure that once they enter, they never leave.

At this moment, "Demacia" was very close to the enemy’s crystal nexus. Huangfu Huang was preparing to have "Demacia" use the "Flash" skill to land right in front of the white-clad old man and his team, hoping to knock them up and scatter their formation.

His narrowed eyes flickered with cold, serpentine glares, and his scarred face looked particularly hideous under the moonlight.

Although the primordial energy generated was sealed off immediately, traces of pure icy power slowly nourished Ling Feng’s body.

I discovered Iron Eagle lying at the doorway, while Rat was nowhere to be found. Moreover, my desktop computer tower had vanished as well. I quickly crouched down and patted Iron Eagle; fortunately, his injuries were not severe, and he recovered after a short while.

Han Wei caught the shovel but continued to retreat. The giant snake’s attacks were terrifying, and being too close made it easy to be ensnared.

Wine Sword Immortal and his group prepared a box truck, had the Old Snake crawl inside, and then drove into the mountains to find his immortal phoenix. Shui Ling'er and I did not participate in the subsequent events until two days later at noon, when I received a call from Wine Sword Immortal saying they were returning to the mountains and had a gift for me before they left.

"Wushuang, thank you, but I don't want you to kill for me. The people I want to settle scores with, I will handle myself." I didn't blame him, as his intentions were good, but I could not condone the act of dismemberment.

By then, my own anger had flared. I mounted Jamie directly and pummeled his forehead with the Huo family style. I don't know how many triple-combos I landed, only that when I finally stopped, exhausted, Jamie’s head looked like a crushed tomato, with red and white fluids spilling all over the floor.

"Old Zheng, shall we go in now?" Old Qiu waited a moment before finally speaking. The archaeological team was already in a state of panic; further hesitation would only cause their final resolve to crumble.

I furrowed my brow, wondering what Ouyang Zilong was up to. However, Ninth Brother sat there drinking beer with a calm expression, so I did not show any panic. I lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa, smoking to myself.
