Volume 1, Chapter 56: Ambush!

Zhou Sheng had no idea whether Bai Muya's word held any weight, but right now, they had no other choice than to trust her.
Before leaving, he gave Bai Muya one final warning: "Miss, you must keep the defensive jade talisman given to you by the bank president close to you at all times."
Qin Feng silently watched the two of them bid a reluctant farewell.
Chuhong stepped forward, blocking the still-furious Beast Sovereign while lightly patting him on the body. Having reached the Ultimate Form and awakened numerous memories, Chuhong possessed extremely sharp discernment; he knew that had Yang Qi not steadied the Beast Sovereign's emotions just moments ago, the Beast Sovereign would have suffered a complete defeat by now.
Among the various personnel appointments in the Eastern Palace, Cai Maode's transfer to the position of Governor of Shandong was a lateral move. The post of the Commissioner of the Three Offices was left vacant, with only Zhang Shiqi appointed as Administration Commissioner to oversee the land reclamation and military farming affairs of the Dengzhou and Laizhou prefectures. Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye were appointed as the prefects of Dengzhou and Laizhou respectively, as these were two prefectures directly controlled under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace.
Even the newly recruited soldiers had undergone three rigorous months of training, and led by the veterans, they showed no signs of cowardice.
"I haven't come to trouble you; I merely want to ask for your favor," Lin Ze said calmly, seeming entirely unbothered by the Scar-faced man's bizarre expression.
Because the ADC was the core of the team, the enemy was extremely eager to slay the ADC to secure victory, yet the stronger that desire, the easier it was for them to make mistakes.
Yue'er looked back and realized that a tall, dark shadow had been stealthily tailing her the whole time, waiting for the right moment to deal a devastating blow to both her and Wu Yi. Fortunately, Wu Yi's Heavenly Eye skill level was high enough to pierce through the enemy's stealth. The moment his claw struck true, the failed assassin was forced out of hiding.
However, one could never be certain when such an opportunity might arise in the future once he began refining, so it was better to keep it in his collection.
All the resources here now belonged entirely to the Qingtan Sect. The God of War Palace even relinquished the resources they had previously usurped, for at this moment, the God of War Palace was no longer capable of contending with the Qingtan Sect, nor could they protect those resources.
Thud! Then, the flood dragon swung the body of the Black Turtle Beast, slamming it onto the ground like a shattered ragdoll. The continuous impact had inflicted severe, near-fatal injuries on the Black Turtle, leaving it gasping for breath and on the verge of death at any second.
"Let's go together. We're all friends, and it'll be good to get to know each other." Seeing Zhou Hua's expression, Zhao Mu was torn between laughter and tears, and invited both Ruda and Huang Yan to join them.
Seeing that Gu Qiuyue was obediently keeping her mouth shut and asking no further questions, Zhang Mingyu naturally stopped bringing up Ouyang Qing on his own accord. After all, just moments earlier on the dance floor, Zhang Mingyu's fondling of Ouyang Qing's plump, rounded buttocks had been caught red-handed by his disciple. Discussing Ouyang Qing at a time like this felt somewhat awkward.
A Nian said nothing, merely gazing at me with a profound sorrow, as if blaming me for voicing these truths aloud. She clearly understood everything herself, yet simply chose not to speak of it. My role, perhaps, was just to gently tap her cheek and tell her it was time to wake up.
"There are others?" When Lin Changhai came yesterday, paying no attention to the surroundings, he had simply gravitated toward Elder Sun out of sheer instinct. Naturally, he had been completely unaware of the matter Elder Sun was speaking of.
Life is often like this; sometimes, a completely accidental event can alter a person's otherwise mediocre and unremarkable existence.
The moment Chu Haotian heard the word "dragon," his heart began to pound, for he and the dragon race were mortal enemies. However, Chu Haotian's worries proved entirely unfounded; when he finally laid eyes on the true form of this terrestrial dragon, he nearly burst into laughter—this so-called terrestrial dragon turned out to be nothing more than a giant earthworm.
This was well within Lin Changhai's expectations. He could not refuse Wu Shasha's demands because, as the accountant for Fang Baiwan's company, Wu Shasha was fully aware of all his shady dealings. The fact that she wasn't reporting him to the authorities and merely demanded to sleep with him just once as the price of her silence was already an act of immense mercy.
