If they fought back, they would either die or expose everything to the entire household. He could not let Ouyang Qi destroy herself for his sake.

But apart from silently accepting and cooperating, there was nothing else she could do. That was also why she had not hurried to leave after mastering her divine technique. She wanted to use these three days to bring the days they had spent accompanying each other to a perfect close. It was the only thing she could do.

Though that was what people said, Wu Hua had known for a long time what difficulties Li Zhengqiang would encounter. Li Zhengqiang had started out by running shell companies, and Wu Hua had warned him long ago that this was not a business he should pursue. Sooner or later, the state would crack down on it severely. Li Zhengqiang, however, had paid no attention.

“You’ve gone to a lot of trouble!” Yingchun said. Compared with a ready-made gift, something made by hand certainly required more preparation and effort.

“The hardest hurdle is getting past facial recognition. How should we deal with it? What do you think?” Long Qing asked.

The soldiers guarding the city gates saw the general in charge of the capital’s defenses riding at the front. He slowly approached the gates on horseback.

“How much do you and Big Brother Han need?” Zhou Houming asked tentatively. He secretly calculated that Han Xiaoshan probably had not left him much money to invest.

Wu Qian found the sight rather amusing and deliberately kept him waiting for a while, putting on an indecisive expression. Wei Xuanmie became as restless as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

The guard watching Qin Meiniang suddenly felt someone pat him on the back. He could not help choking slightly as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The two of us stood at the entrance to the village and looked around for a while. We soon noticed that the western side was exceptionally lively, with mournful cries drifting over. Looking in that direction, we saw a mourning hall. It was extremely crude, its outer framework assembled from blue plastic sheeting.

As he watched Ye Yunfeng and the others leave, Ye Qiye poured himself a cup of tea and sat in a corner of the pavilion, looking utterly relaxed.

The final Death Game was held, but an error in the instructions resulted in casualties among the survivors.

The Rakshasa Cult also had Celestial Beings. In fact, her own master was one as well, so she knew all too well how terrifying their strength was.

Using the original Five-Spirit Bracelet to imbue it with a spirit produced an intelligent Nine-Headed Ironthorn Serpent. Using the spare bracelet, however, produced something utterly foolish.

When Xia Zhi followed Dong Feng inside, her face was blank with confusion. What was this supposed to mean?

Qin Luo recounted the details of their assassination attempt. He felt that even the Azure Mark Sect could not have carried out such an attack, and he was extremely curious about who had ordered it this time.

After Xin Ran learned that his origins were extraordinary, he was overjoyed and demanded that Xin Wuji take Chen Yuqing away with him as well.

After the two of them exchanged a brief handshake, Leng Jun withdrew his hand. Looking curiously at the people behind Xiuli, he smiled and asked a question.

Hua Zi and I took advantage of the time to travel on our honeymoon. Although we are only engaged, there is no need to care about such details. Nor do you need to envy us over this, because you certainly could not have the same fortune...

“Ahem, what’s so difficult about that? It’s only a Ghost-tier martial technique. I could cast it several times without a problem!” Li Litian said with absolute confidence.

After quieting down for several years, they rose again from the ashes. Once suppressed, they would reemerge yet again. In short, so long as the world remained troubled, they could never be eradicated. The Ju Clan of Shuiba Mountain was closest to the bandit lair and had suffered repeated raids and robberies, making the bandits their greatest hidden threat. The Ju Clan had also ambushed the bandits many times.

“How could I possibly lose my nerve? A question like this deserves a little thought!” To be honest, I truly had no idea how to answer it.

What happened afterward was of little importance. Zhang Guang had deliberately come down to embrace Ye Zhen, and the two held each other tightly. Ye Zhen did not feel it appropriate to ask him anything in such a setting, so he could only exchange a few casual words with him.

“What exactly happened? Could all of this have something to do with Yangyang? Who is he, really?” Xue Junyi sat alone on the bed, deep in thought.

The villagers were astonished when they saw Shi Xiaofeng, but after learning that he was a friend brought by Wu Feier, they greeted him just as warmly. Shi Xiaofeng was troubled by the language barrier and could only smile and nod in response.

“Roar!” The Ice Dragon had clearly fallen into a mistaken assumption. Believing that Su Jun was within its blind spot and had used a spell capable of instantly shifting her position, it began spinning wildly, intending to make Su Jun’s instantaneous movements ineffective.

Fu Bai asked one of his subordinates, “Do you believe it?” His question also meant to ask whether he believed what the warriors of Hushan had said.

Qin Zhenzhen really did climb onto my back and wrap her arms around me. I had no other thoughts at that moment. I simply took off at a run, flying upstream as fast as I could.

Secondly, Ming Lou was not planning to return from Paris anytime soon. We could send Ming Fan and Ming Tai, just like Ah Cheng, to the school where Ming Lou taught in Paris. That would make it easier to look after them, while I could set about managing the family business without worry.

The instant the three-colored flames appeared, Du Hao’s pupils contracted sharply. He let out an astonished cry, profoundly shaken within.

Unexpectedly, after worshiping him for only a few minutes, Ling Yijun’s words immediately caused him to transfer his admiration to someone else.

How could Sun Xiaoling have known what Lin He intended? Simply being able to follow in his footsteps as they traveled from place to place was enough to satisfy her emotional needs.

“I don’t care who I am. What you did was wrong. If there’s a problem, discuss it. If you have a point, argue it reasonably. In a traffic accident, there are traffic laws to rely on, and traffic police to handle the matter impartially. What can beating someone possibly solve?” Shuanzi said.

Several seconds later, her brows suddenly knitted together. What was going on? Why did she feel that the child was not in very good spirits? Had he perhaps grown thinner?

And so, Andrew’s advance was as though someone had pressed a pause button. Every so often, he would halt—and each time he did, Beatrice’s flaming serpent arrived.

Seeing Hou Liang’s confident expression, the man’s face changed slightly. He vaguely sensed that matters were not as simple as they appeared, yet he could not imagine what other evidence Hou Liang might produce.

“President Shi, I am sincerely delighted by the vigorous development of the Daqing Group, and even prouder that Dongxing City’s first leisure tourism project has been established under its banner. I’ll drink to the two of you.” Old Wang took the lead, and the three of them drank together.

As countless hand seals merged into the stone wall, a circular screen of light, roughly ten feet across, gradually appeared. Ripples like those on water spread across it, as though it were slowly changing from illusion into reality.

“Not a single penny more! I made this decision on my own to preserve your relationship, without first obtaining approval from my superiors. If they ultimately refuse, I’ll have to pay these thousand yuan out of my own pocket.” Shuanzi left no room for negotiation.
