Volume 1, Chapter 60: Type 38 Rifle

Yet, time and again, he rejected her. Sometimes, she couldn't help wondering if it was because she wasn't good enough that he pushed her away.

The storm continued to rage fiercely. Enduring the churning blood in his chest, Yan Li pushed forward against the gale, pressing on toward the direction of the Palace of Hatred's Departure.

Secondly, only when the master's cultivation reached the Longevity Secret Realm and their brain domain space was completely unlocked could they use spiritual consciousness to store treasures.

However, when Zhou Mingxi arrived, the mayor's son was nowhere to be seen, which seemed rather puzzling. On such an important occasion, and hosted by the Zhao family no doubt.

Of course, other factors had also played a part in this, but regardless, Lu Li managed to find the Douqi world where Xiao He had transmigrated, and brought the situation there under control.

The feeling of solid ground beneath his feet made Lu Li much more sober, though his body instinctively leaned forward. He had overestimated his current state; it was far from what it was a year ago. Even his soul was now that of an ordinary person, and his control over his body could at best be described as decent.

Thinking of the Grandmaster naturally brought Gu Haiyuan to mind, and thinking of Gu Haiyuan inevitably conjured up the final farewell with Shen Liuyun in the Sea Cloud Divine Palace.

Ye Feifei felt that she was currently in a state of extreme irritability—so irritable that she felt like instantly leaping onto an airplane, shouting out into the open sky, and waking up the entire world.

"But now, a crack has appeared on her spiritual jade slip, which means my sister is facing a fatal threat. I must go and save her immediately, or else she will truly die," Bai Meng said with deep anxiety.

Strange, didn't Sister Zijin say that Father Wang fancied Zhang Mingcheng, and that his attitude was extremely resolute?

Nuo Yu walked with her two junior sisters through the pitch-black, deserted streets. When she first met him, he was so handsome and extraordinary, seemingly radiating sunshine. Yet now, for her, he had lost all his brilliance, and even his remaining lifespan.

No one knew whether she had suffered a devastating blow and sought her own end, or if she had been disposed of by the elderly Madam Zhuang. Although people leave names behind as geese leave sounds in flight, a living person like Ruan Ling had vanished so inexplicably. She was like a morning dewdrop, disappearing without a trace before she ever saw the rising sun.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao was slightly taken aback, realizing that Ouyang Diankuang had spoken up on behalf of Bai Ye. This made the situation even worse; it appeared this old fellow intended to move against Bai Ye—a development Wang Xiao had not anticipated.

Just as everyone was calling out, Laru suddenly saw a cluster of blood-red light illuminating the pitch-black pit. Wasn't that the signature Ghost King Flame of the Big Dipper?

"Then I'll go tell your dad!" I finally thought of a trump card against Yaoyao, but to my surprise, she simply plopped down on the sofa and picked up her phone to make a call.

How was it that this voice sounded somewhat familiar? I turned around in bewilderment, wondering why there was a mirror here that I hadn't noticed before. The reflection in the mirror was dressed entirely in red...

Chong Feng looked like an honest man incapable of telling a lie. His face flushed completely red as he stammered, "Big Brother, take my reward money too and buy the children more food. I didn't mean anything else by it; if you don't know, never mind." With that, he turned to leave.

Yaoyao obediently went outside. I closed the broken door, walked over to Xue Qin, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you see Lin Zhengfei in Hangzhou?" Xue Qin stared at me with wide eyes, yet insisted she hadn't.

"I do!" Gu Mian agreed without hesitation. She believed that the man before her would bring her happiness. When a man loved you enough to sacrifice himself for you, could there still be any doubt in your love for him? Certainly not.

She walked over to stand beneath a large tree. Not far away stood a guard; she didn't believe this person was there to protect her—to put it bluntly, it was surveillance.

"Master, Yanyan sent a letter. Ming Wu has issued a martial arts-wide hunt under the identity of the Ji family's fifth young master. Should we inform the old master of the Ji family?" During her final days, Dowager Rong deeply cherished her youth with the Ji family, always saying those were her freest days.

Mu Yi swept his gaze across them, exchanging nods with familiar faces such as Long Zhi, Zhao Xin, Jin Yun, Jin Ya, Luo Zed, Fang Zhuo, Lin Miaomiao, and An Zixuan to signal his departure. They nodded in return to acknowledge him.

After suffering consecutive setbacks and hearing continuous screams of misery, the morale on this side began to waver. Many started retreating stealthily, while some even fled toward the kitchen or upstairs in search of hiding places.

"My dream is to go and venture into the Central Mainland in the future. Having strength to back oneself up is naturally very important. I don't want to be bullied, so I can only work hard to improve my own strength," Mu Yi said with a grin.

"Indeed, it is. This Lan Spirit Crystal is at least more precious than a Black-tier intermediate martial skill," Jiao echoed.

One had to know that the cultivation of spiritual power was far more difficult than battle force, but correspondingly, once spiritual power broke through, it was far more formidable than battle force of the same rank.

Wen Yuqiao had already approached. Du Shi, Wen Yushang's biological mother, also sensed something was amiss and secretly nudged Wen Yushang, signaling her to shut up.

After uttering those words, Li Lin began to mutter somewhat absentmindedly to herself.

Shinji didn't particularly care about what kind of Pokémon it was; Ludicolo wasn't an especially rare species anyway.

Lanturn's Thunderbolt hit the Blue Feraligatr directly, yet Shinji showed no intention of ordering a dodge.

As soon as the word "firearms" left Jia Ling's mouth, the two of them instantly exchanged glances and smiled simultaneously.

The next moment, a few muffled roars echoed from the alchemy room, followed by the shattering of all seven white ice cocoons.

"Perhaps, but I can't let my students see my true self. I have to put on a cold and stern facade, otherwise I won't have any authority over them," Gu Manxue said with a straight face.

After distributing the other pieces of equipment to the others in the same manner, Luo Tuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the items.

"Do you want to know the meaning of life? Do you want to... truly live?" The floating text appeared so abruptly that it startled both mighty beings, as there had been no prior fluctuations.

Shi Bin had never been good at negotiations, so the specific execution was left to those two iron roosters, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi. After a round of grueling bargaining, the Yuan forces agreed to redeem all the Yuan spies captured by Shi Bin at the price of four thousand sheep and cattle hides.

"Simp? How can there be such a foolish person in the world, actually acting like a simp? Dogs smell terrible," Gao Heping laughed.
