Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Schemings of the Wang Family

At this moment, the people from the Ji family approached, led by their Divine Son—a handsome man in white robes, radiating spirit and vigor.

She spitefully reached under the sheet and pinched him, but the result only made him stir with excitement, leaving her nearly limp and paralyzed instead.

Foreign aid—the military chiefs dreamed of foreign aid. But there was no need to speak of Western nations; they were currently locked in a bitter stalemate with the Volunteer Army in Korea. It would be fortunate if they didn’t impose a blockade; how could they possibly offer assistance?

Under the aura radiating from the City Lord of Wanbao, those nearby felt their breathing grow labored. They stared at the City Lord in the sky with expressions of terror, never expecting that a Heaven Spirit Realm powerhouse could be so fearsome.

Perhaps because she had no external injuries yet remained unconscious, the doctor performed a full-body examination. When an X-ray revealed nothing abnormal, they sent her for an ultrasound, which finally confirmed the fact that she was pregnant.

Guo Zhitong blushed and remained silent, but her eyes shone brilliantly. Subconsciously, she searched for Ai Mu’s figure, hoping to see how devastated and heartbroken she would look upon hearing the news.

Furthermore, he realized only now that this illusion could tap into his memories. The phantasms it manifested were those he cared for most, because only against those he trusted would he lower his guard, allowing the illusion to kill him with ease.

After I sat in the lounge and drank two cups of coffee, Bo Yin descended from the elevator inside.

Yin Gezhi lowered his gaze, impatiently pulling out her clothes himself. He untied the ribbons on her garment and personally helped her change.

"What's wrong?" Xin Zihan asked from a position of superiority, showing no intention of bending down to show concern.

This time, upon returning, Zhou Mingxia could only stay in the guest room specifically prepared for visitors at the Zhou residence: the Lotus View Pavilion in the west.

Lin Xuan checked the map, identified the direction of the Tianshan Sect, and led Tang Chuchu as they hurried toward it.

He continuously checked Bai Qianmeng’s body while activating his infinite-range vision and clairvoyance to scan the surroundings, desperate to uncover what kind of monster was lurking nearby.

The leader, Crazy Bear, was over two meters tall and weighed well over three hundred pounds. He was bald and possessed a fierce, menacing face.

Moments later, the Temple Master hurriedly drafted an IOU, clearly detailing the money Li Zhuang currently owed and the debts he would incur moving forward.

The car reached the street where the night market was held. The street had already been cordoned off, and our vehicle drove straight in.

Closing the files, Tang Yi smiled and said that he had not undergone professional agent training and could not handle their methods.

He leaned in behind me, wrapping me in his arms. He stretched out a long arm, grabbed my left hand, and unclasped the chain he had put on my wrist; attached to it was a delicate key.

Struggling to support his body, Tang Yi climbed to his feet. Although Tie Niu was fierce, the disparity in strength was vast, and compounded by the desperation of a cornered beast, Haima was fighting with everything he had.

"Drink! Spirit Annihilation!" The moment Long Mu collided with the flaming formation, he pointed a finger forward with the force of a thunderbolt. It struck the fire formation summoned by Mu Yi, triggering an explosion that echoed across the sky in an instant.

Yan Wu nodded to Wang Dalong and said, "That is for the best. Well, I have been out for long enough; it is time for me to return." Without warning, Yan Wu vanished before Wang Dalong’s eyes.

"Fine, let’s just head straight forward. No more gathering intelligence. After all, when playing a game, you need passion. Let’s go; let us brothers charge ahead together." Qisha was also infected by the sentiment, though what he said made some sense.

It seemed that Blaine had also been stirred by this match; after all, it had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent who could force him to fight with everything he had. In the face of Shinji’s appearance, Blaine was even more excited than his Magmar.

"No one can change anything, though that is also because we would never intervene in the first place," the God of War’s voice rang faintly in her mind.

Xu Lang’s gaze pierced through the Yanfu Great Array, looking at everything within the Dragon Graveyard. The only things of value in this graveyard were the thousand ice-sealed dragon corpses, the Dragon-Tooth Rice, and the divine artifacts of the Yanfu Array. However, it was the Dragon-Tooth Rice that truly captured Xu Lang’s attention.

Chen Shu moved through the clouds, his figure like a blade, cleaving through the cold, thin air of the high altitude. In the entire world, only the bright moon in the sky remained above him.

...Under these circumstances, the hired tutor and doctor, Qiao and Alice, became his true parents.

"Stop saying the grapes are sour just because you can't reach them. So what if it's blue-tier gear? Do you even have a share in it? You say you don't care, but what if you did? Is it your equipment anyway?" After Ouyang Jue stowed the helmet into his backpack, he retorted to Optimus Prime with irritation.

Unlike Alice’s versatile psionic powers, Blue Warbler’s abilities were quite extreme—the kind that lost much of their effectiveness once their secret was discovered.

Ye Zusheng looked over upon hearing this and only then noticed that the other man’s hairstyle was very neat, clearly meticulously groomed.

Overnight, the entire Japanese underworld plunged into chaos. The Yamaguchi-gumi launched a surprise attack on the Inagawa-kai, the Inagawa-kai bit back, and several bosses of the Sumiyoshi-kai were killed in succession. A series of chain reactions left the entire Japanese underworld in a state of panic.

The competition began at ten o'clock, but Ge Yutian was constantly searching for something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he spotted Fu Huxing and hurried over to meet him. Chen Langya sat nearby, sipping tea, smiling as he watched Fu Huxing and Ge Yutian.

"Don't overthink it. Just call Qin Feng and ask if the central leadership has arrived in Nanhua so we can be prepared. This sudden visit has caught us all off guard," Lu Xin said to Wang Hongjun.

As Boss Han finished speaking, over twenty men wielding baseball bats rushed in.

A gloomy voice echoed over the mountaintop. Chen Langya slowly stood up and walked deep into the Greater Khingan Mountains.

In the office, Fang Liyan and Bai Wei arrived together, with Bai Wei carrying a thermos.

Tian Sheng carefully considered all of Liu Yiyi’s actions: the person invited was the formidable Pursuing Sun Demon, the person receiving them was the manor’s chief steward Qiu Weiyuan. It was only a few miles from the front island to the back island, yet it turned into a tour of the front island. Now that they had finally reached the manor gate, they had to wait for someone to come and meet them.

Seeing Tang Youyou land steadily, her extraordinary agility suggested this wasn't her first time climbing a wall.

These fleeing individuals were all peak-stage Golden Immortal experts; their perception of danger and reflex speeds were far superior to those of ordinary cultivators.
