Volume 1, Chapter 57: Behind the Bronze Door

When it came to selling goods on consignment, it was rather baffling. In truth, this was also a sudden flash of inspiration and a whimsical idea on the part of Boss Liao.

"What do you mean?" Starry trajectories were scattered about in utter disorder everywhere. After gazing at them for a long time, a vague understanding slowly dawned within, yet it was impossible to put into words.

If the child carried in the younger sister's womb was a boy, then this infant would be the sole bloodline and the only heir of the Haoxing clan.

As it turned out, this Yuan Tao was a spiritually enlightened white-browed ape, and his brute strength was far greater than that of his peers. This was his innate talent, which others could never hope to match. Yet, he had not expected that compared to this burly man, his own strength was left at an absolute and crushing disadvantage. In a direct, head-on clash, he stood no chance at all.

"Clatter!" Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, a middle-aged man wearing a nine-dragon fiery crown suddenly hurled the glazed cup in his hand to the ground with fierce wrath. He then turned as if to descend to the mortal realm, but just as he reached the gates of the palace, he abruptly halted his footsteps.

"Could it be that for the sake of so-called stability, one must condone corrupt officials arbitrarily devouring state assets?"

At that very moment, however, he clearly saw a man outside the large military tent drawing his sword. The momentum of the Tai Chi sword Qi transformed into surging waves that swept across a distance of thirty paces toward the tent. All the fierce sword Qi that touched it was completely neutralized, and the counter-attacking sword Qi left anyone with no way to evade, inflicting devastating injuries in a split second.

Sean looked into the face of Maria Hill, a wave of inexplicable emotion welling up within him, but it vanished in a flash as he retracted his thoughts.

"Let's not speak of these things. Rooted or not, such actions have already stripped him of his qualifications to be a party cadre. No matter who is backing him up from behind, once a wrong is done, he must face punishment!" Xiao Han cared little for such matters. Deep roots? How many people with deep roots had Xiao Han not witnessed?

The Jade Emperor wished to preserve his own life, and thus intended to drag him down into the murky waters as well. For the moment, the other party merely smiled faintly. No matter how the Jade Emperor argued, he simply shook his head and remained silent. The Jade Emperor was also a shrewd man, and seeing this, he understood the Northern Peak Emperor's intentions, bidding farewell and departing.

Xuanyuan Qingyu feigned a muffled groan. "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder your husband?" He seized her wrist and asked with a slightly pained expression.

Gu Xixi immediately recounted everything Hirayama Jiro had just said to her to Mu Ruona.

Meng Shaoting had no other particular skills, but his methods of tormenting people were impossible to guard against. If you weren't careful for even a moment, you would fall victim to his schemes.

Heaven knows where she came up with these conclusions. The Azure Dragon twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, having no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, finding it hard to say anything further.

"Damn it! Not sleeping in the middle of the night, making all sorts of blind and pointless commotions!" Ning Xiaogang lowered his head and cursed, but he immediately felt that something was not quite right.

Three thousand strands of ink-black hair cascaded down without any adornment, simply resting behind her shoulders. In the center of her forehead was a mark resembling a red sword scar. Beneath dense eyelashes were hidden a pair of intensely affectionate black pupils, accompanied by a high-bridge nose and cherry-pink thin lips. Her profile was as flawless as a deity's, captivating anyone at a single glance.

Unexpectedly, having been bound for too long, the moment she took a step, her legs grew weak and numb, causing her to tumble to the ground.

By now, Xia Chushi had been inside for quite some time, yet there was not the slightest sign that she intended to come out.

After the car charged inside, the murderous intent in Chen Nan's eyes gradually receded inward as he furrowed his brows slightly.

"Hongying, how old are you this year? Are secret agents really that good at fighting? Can you use all sorts of high-tech gadgets to scale walls and vault over roofs just like in the television shows?" Do not blame her for being curious; this was simply her first time coming into contact with such things, so excitement was inevitable.

Alas, look at those people—not only do they scramble and fight for attention, but they are also pampered and fawned upon. Unlike me, who can do nothing and can only serve as a servant to others.

Her imperial brother, the current emperor, had always been steady and reserved, possessing a maturity far beyond his years.

If it were Yan Anzhi, then he would have to endure even more. There was still a child in her womb, and she must never be harmed.

Had she not frequently consumed the spiritual elixirs concocted by the Princess Consort, tempering her body to be dozens of times tougher than that of ordinary people, that single palm strike might well have cost her her life.

Xia Chushi's fingernails dug fiercely into the palms of her hands, yet she could not feel even the slightest trace of pain.

At that moment, the rage in Ye Mubai's heart vanished entirely, leaving only a dull, needle-prick-like ache throbbing quietly.

The man before her wore a military-green shirt. He possessed a slender yet robust figure, with an estimated eight-pack of abdominal muscles, and stood a full head taller than her. Song Xinci could not help but take a few steps back.

At this moment, damn it, they didn't even need to understand, because the outcome was already sealed. That massive umbrella of Yang Fu's had already had its handle grasped tightly by Old Wei. Judging by Yang Fu's attitude, the possibility of snatching it back no longer existed.

Furthermore, grand elder-level figures possessing the cultivation realm of Great Luo Golden Immortals were by no means few in number. These served as the trump cards and vital pillars of the Creation Immortal Sect, unknown to many, including certain disciples and elders within the sect itself.

"It's fine! Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!" Seizing the momentum, he casually flicked his wrist and directly hurled the battering ram straight into the enemy forces stationed down the slope, smashing a large swath of them to the ground in an instant.

Looking around at the surrounding crowd, everyone stared with wide-open mouths, their heads swaying back and forth in unison following the trajectory of the stone, utterly dumbfounded.

"A lunatic, an absolute lunatic!" The trainees could not help but feel a surge of admiration as they watched Chen Yun persist in the competition under such a condition. This was no mere foolishness; it was a form of indomitable spirit.

"Shouldn't your focus be on the second half of my sentence? Aren't you even a little touched by how worried I am about you?" The system glanced sideways.

Yang Ling opened her mouth, and suddenly she realized that her cultivation base was advancing in leaps and bounds, breaking through from the Dao-Planting realm to the Dao-Mansion realm, and then breaking through once more to the Nascent Soul realm.

Human beings had always been creatures with the shortest memories. The entire city of Yuetian was filled with peace, prosperity, song, and dance.

That same night, a little past eight o'clock, a Mitsubishi large jeep equipped with police lights turned its indicator on and pulled into the Longteng Sihai Restaurant.

On this day, atop a mountain in the Land of Ten Thousand Gods, a azure sea drifted endlessly, and an additional blue river materialized within the void.

After all, it was a vast empire. Compared to other factions, the Great Qin Empire likely had even more cultivators from the upper realms stationed within its borders, forcing Xu Ruogu to tread with utmost caution.
