Chapter 43: Sweet Troubles

Beside Jade Garden residential area lies a pool of lake water, boasting breathtakingly picturesque scenery.

This was precisely why First Allure had chosen to purchase her commercial apartment here at the time.

At this moment, Duan Wuhen and the two women arrived at the neighborhood park, sitting leisurely on a long bench.

Duan Wuhen’s posture of embracing a beauty on either side was simply the envy of everyone around.

"Damn, why are these two gorgeous women willingly following this kid?"

"Sigh, the guy's got game and capability, that's why."

Leaning against Duan Wuhen's shoulders, the two women gazed at the lake water, their minds completely relaxed, and before long, they drifted off to sleep.

This left Duan Wuhen in a rather agonizing predicament. Realizing that both women were leaning on him, he did not dare to move even an inch.

Moreover, the faint, indistinct fragrance emanating from the two women made Duan Wu—

Fortunately, it was now evening; shielded by the balcony's awning, they were hidden right in the shadows. Hiding like this during broad daylight certainly would not have worked.

Then, the ice giant reached out, grabbed the ice wall into his hand, and with a gentle toss, prepared to feed it into his mouth.

The middle-aged man instantly collapsed limply to the ground, two large gasps appearing on his head, from which fresh blood bubbled continuously.

The entire room was at most fifteen square meters. In such a cramped space, it surprisingly contained a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom all complete, lacking only a living room.

Transforming into incomparably pure energy, it surged into Li Changkong’s limbs and bones, turning into waves of heat that continuously scoured his physical body.

Ma Xiaobei flushed bright red, utterly mortified. With a snap, she slammed the computer shut and snatched it back.

Madam Yan’s remarks left Steward Lin completely speechless. He now understood that as long as the Lin family intended to interfere with the Golden Guards, the shareholders of the Golden Guards would undoubtedly oppose it—and they would fight to the bitter end.

Zhao Jing arched her eyebrows in anger, flew into a rage on the spot, and began pointing and yelling at the fair-skinned administrator's nose.

Qiao Ya tended to the Black Profound, using frost malevolence to expel the demonic energy while suppressing the injuries, and then used spiritual fruits to aid in the rescue.

"Hey, wait for me! You always like to rush ahead like this, even though we agreed to stick together." Zhou Jie also unleashed a few attacks, though they didn't even scratch the target's hide, and dashed off right behind Liu Menghen's heels.

Therefore, I deeply admire Su Yueheng and Su Yuee. This fellow truly has no idea what kind of experiences they must have been through; precisely because those experiences are unknown, they possess such formidable capability in the face of these matters, leaving one somewhat helplessly resigned.

"Sister Zhu has the goods but lacks channels; you have the channels but no capital; and I have the capital but neither goods nor channels—is that what you mean?" Peng Haoming said casually.

Falling weightlessly, my body first crashed heavily against the slope, then tumbled and rolled further down. Within seconds, I had plummeted a dozen meters deep. Straining to lift my head, I could only vaguely make out two dark figures at the edge of the cliff. All around was dead silence, save for the swaying tree shadows resembling demons, and the rustling wind that seemed to mock my foolish overestimation of my own abilities.

If the suspect's location could not be found, relying solely on a SWAT squadron to search such a complex six-story shopping mall would be extremely strenuous. After finishing his survey, Special Officer Cheng Li arrived beside a few employees who had just run out of the mall, hoping to extract more information from them.

"That depends on the intentions of you, Chief Steward Lin." Xinyi seemed somewhat absent-minded, as if Zhu Mei'er's affairs were no more captivating than the chips on the gambling table.

"You could say that, but the first step is to reintegrate information from all sides, especially Li Hongtao—he is the main focus today." Section Chief Lin's words caused everyone's gaze to converge on Li Hongtao.

"Unclear. Long, are you certain you brought us directly beneath that circular crater?" Irina asked.

A surge of joy rose in my heart, and I nodded in agreement. The three of us walked down the mountain, and that "thing" never emerged to attack us.

Wendy told him that this island was located at the maritime boundary shared by the Sand Kingdom, Odorsec, and the Dark Moon City, which was why the island boasted such a dazzling array of merchandise.

With a sharp crack, the mandarin duck club directly struck Beiying's head. As if suffering from a severe concussion, Beiying instantly bled from all seven orifices.

Zhang Lin’s brief and simple sentence instantly drew everyone’s attention back to the vehicle.

"Indeed. Early this morning, I received orders from Magistrate Gao, and then Magistrate Mo and Secretary Qin followed along. There was nothing I could do about it," Wen Cuo explained with a pitiful expression.

The Mirror of Karma Beast let out a sudden cry of pain, followed by a slap that made my vision swim with golden stars. My face was about to become as shapeless as a steamed bun this time.

"You've finally arrived. Tsk tsk, and a whole month earlier than I expected, too. Your recent cultivation must have made tremendous progress, right?" Before Liu Yang could even bow in greeting, Huajing had already spoken up first.

Before Gu Ling'er could fully recover her wits, she stumbled and fell to the ground, tears of grievance and sorrow welling up in her eyes. She glared fiercely at Long Linfei's retreating back, fiercely cursing herself in her heart: I must be out of my mind; how could I ever expect a brute to act like a human?

It wasn't until the last two hundred years or so that the emperors gradually relinquished the power in their hands, no longer taking such an active interest in state affairs. Combined with the emergence of the Guard Mage Battalion, the emperor's safety was finally secured.

In his dream, it felt as though he had not communicated with another living soul for thousands of years, tasting the full measure of solitude and loneliness.

With a deafening crash and without the slightest suspense, Beichen shattered the amethyst with a single palm strike. Jingbin reacted as if struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his complexion instantly withered.

"Just tell the people outside that Gao Tou is fine, currently drinking tea and undergoing questioning! All the credit rests with your senior brother—surely you understand this much?" Master replied.

She stood with hands on her hips, directing Lu Wu to sow the heavenly net melon seeds in the prepared soil, while vividly painting a picture for Lu Wu of the future scenery when vines would cover the courtyard walls.

However, in the Black Forest, a simple increase in internal energy cultivation level could not make one's perception extend proportionally, unless one possessed a special talent for perception.
