34 Little Card

Mai Yi took the fighter jet straight to Fang Yu’s office, only to find it empty. Meanwhile, Zhou Longfei hung from the side of the giant black fish’s mouth, as if he were mere filtered debris, unable to stir in the slightest.

Having spent centuries together, they all knew that this supreme star cluster entity was a scatterbrained fellow. Yet, after a while, when the people in the car relaxed their vigilance, he began to look around restlessly again. No one wished to see those tech-based lifeforms, who specialized in studying extreme stellar bodies, roaming the universe in black holes while claiming to control a cosmic dead zone.

Although the lobby manager disliked Teacher Gong, they were running a business with doors wide open to the public; one could not afford to offend anyone. You might scheme against the Yan family, or even the Cao family, and Lu Bu might tolerate it; but Diaochan—Lu Bu would never tolerate any man laying a finger on her.

A-Yong and Xi Zhan clearly sensed Liang Xiao’s gaze and turned their eyes toward him as well. However, that attack was but a one-time occurrence; as Bai Yunfei’s body neared the stone pillar, the malevolent energy simply vanished of its own accord.

“Why him? He’s nothing but a good-for-nothing!” Seeing that Liang Xiao ignored him entirely and chose the least favored Tu Buyu instead, Tu Bufan became incensed and shouted loudly.

Given the connection between Harjol and Manjusiri, there existed no unsolvable knot between the Khorchin Left Wing Mongols and the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty.

“Then your taste isn’t as good as mine. I’m not letting him go to you now,” Su Qingcheng said seriously.

Thus, the outcome favored by the Chinese public came to pass: following the release of Zhang Jingwen’s new album, her two new songs quickly claimed the top two spots on the charts with a significant lead.

Wang Yi turned and continued to escort Zhou Fankun toward the school gates, with a scattering of students following behind to watch the spectacle.

Judging by the expressions in their eyes, which seemed as if they could swallow Lin Qihua whole, one could easily guess what they were thinking.

Saving lives is like fighting a fire; furthermore, his relationship with the Blue Enchantress was far from ordinary, so he took this matter to heart with extreme urgency.

At first, there was only one plant every hundred meters, but later, there were two or three. By the time Lu Tian had teleported three thousand meters, the barren rocks had vanished, replaced by a green mountainside.

To be honest, the celebration of Yun Su’s birthday was a bit ostentatious and excessively flashy.

This stone cave was about two or three hundred meters above the ground. Gabula was astonished as to how the old Taoist with the white beard had ascended, but he understood that this man had saved his life.

The other party was his father-in-law, after all; Wang could not turn against him, nor dared to, so he could only scratch his head incessantly.

According to the plan, the 56th Division was to advance toward Yunnan, capture Baise, then move toward Funing to occupy the Hekou region, cut off the railway from Lao Cai to Kunming, and then advance from Lao Cai toward Hanoi.

Several times, his hand wandered onto Cao Moran’s head, causing her to uncontrollably pinch his cheek.

“Then why did you bring so many pancakes…” Shi Ling swallowed hard. This didn’t look like three, or even five or six—there had to be at least ten, right?

It was for these reasons that Mu Xun and Mu Qing devised this strategy after consulting each other: to bring people to Vietnam and use such methods to abduct Xue Ru. They intended to lay out the reality: since Mu Qiuping was a descendant of the Mu family, she had an obligation to sacrifice herself for the family, and she would be taken back whether she agreed or not.

Fuxi, Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, Xingtian, Lu Ya, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Wen Zhong, and other martial generals unleashed their divine powers, rushing toward the Feng Huo Star Territory, the Zhou Tian Star Territory, and the Qing Yun Star Territory.

Chi Xiaoxiao changed into the evening gown she had prepared long ago—the "Phoenix Seeking Its Mate" dress from years past. Wearing it now, she appeared even more magnificent. After years of weathering the storms of life, she had become unflappable and possessed an extraordinary bearing. Her natural, innate arrogance was intimidating, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a person of high status.

Hong Guang had a notoriously bad reputation in the area. Even though he had a wife, he didn’t hide his behavior at all, even boasting that as long as a woman slept with him and satisfied him, he would help her get a promotion and a raise. He was truly lawless.

Qin Qi was a distinguished guest of the Zhuge family. If he were implicated because of his own actions, Shang Hou felt he would have truly committed a grave mistake.

As evening approached and the hotel prepared to switch to dinner service, the head waiter went up to ask Luo Jialiang if he wanted his food reheated. Only when Luo Jialiang looked up did he realize that it was already dark outside.

At this, Qiu Xuan suddenly realized—it was Uthred. No wonder. Qiu Xuan thought that with Uthred’s narrow-mindedness, he would certainly do something like this. Qiu Xuan sighed inwardly, wishing he had killed Uthred earlier; then, today’s events would never have occurred.

“Purple Void Xiangfei Bamboo, one of the six great treasures of the Giant Maple Sect. I never expected it to be in your possession. Haha, today is truly my lucky day! With this top-tier treasure, my strength will increase by at least forty percent,” the Golden Core cultivator said, staring at the purple bamboo in Mei Yingxue’s hand with intense greed.

When he truly fought, his strength was even greater than it had been during his battle with the Eagle-Horn Emperor. Without a second thought, he unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, manifesting the six paths to strike at the Linglong Blood Emperor.

However, living under someone else’s roof, one has to play along with their behavior, right?

An Nianchu could not figure it out, and thus she managed to sleep soundly until dawn. Waking up the next day, she pulled back the covers and saw her clothes were intact, letting out a sigh of relief. It seemed Qiao Chu wasn’t a complete pervert after all; at least he hadn’t laid a hand on her. He wasn’t that detestable.

After resolving their hunger, Ling Yan and Bai Xue walked one after the other through a forest not far from the shrine, falling into an awkward silence after their initial small talk.

The Tyrannosaurus sensed a massive threat, a look of terror flashing in its eyes as it panicked and tried to flee.

Calculating silently, after about ten breaths, Zheng Dong reopened his five senses. The spiritual sense he had been probing with had vanished; clearly, the old man had not been able to see through his concealment.

The Fire Crystal clan member was dead. The colorful light barrier slowly faded. Then, with a ‘pop,’ it shattered, and the black long-robe inside fell into Luo Yi’s hands.

“Very well.” The old man sighed helplessly and then vanished. Ji Rui took one more look at the tightly shut door, smiling as his lips moved, seemingly muttering to himself, before turning to leave.

Li Qi-feng now stood before him like a great mountain; if he could not climb over this mountain, he would never be able to break through again.
