Chapter 46: Neither Connections nor Background

Zhuang Min understood clearly as she walked out of Fuxi Tower hand in hand with Yirui, while Ningqiu called the servants to tidy away the garments the Primary Consort had just "changed" out of.

Bai Ye understood completely. This was much like a cheat plugin in a game; once the time was up, the plugin would be deactivated or even result in a ban, and it would never allow players to willfully break the rules of this world.

Without lingering any further, he found an open space, set up the pressure array specifically crafted for him by Baili Bing to practice the Innate Body-Fulfilling Art, and began practicing the martial techniques of the fifth tier of the art.

Wang Xue looked at Chen Han, and seeing that he did not look like he was lying, she nodded, pushed the barbecue cart back home first, and began preparing dinner.

After carrying a lazy and reluctant Gu Qianqian out of the bathroom, Qi Mingye did not return to the bed. Instead, he gently draped a cotton bathrobe over her and carried her up to the villa's rooftop terrace.

Yet before he had taken even two steps, he once again felt a chill wind sweeping in from behind, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Inside the lunchbox were meals prepared by Master Liang Guang that looked, smelled, and tasted exquisite. Additionally, a thermos bottle was filled with rich, fragrant soup.

Fretting aimlessly now was pointless; he would just ask Ling Zheng what he meant by that phone call earlier once he got off the plane.

Stripped of the many flashy flourishes typically seen in standard military boxing, every single move was designed to neutralize the enemy, and a moment of carelessness would result in injury.

Given her personality, she certainly wouldn't be willing to let it go so easily just because she failed to stand out and catch Zhang Chengjing's attention today, right?

Within the city-state, there were three classes: citizens, free men, and slaves. Aristotle had famously said, "Man is by nature a city-state animal."

Piloting a spaceship in the interstellar era was far more badass than driving luxury cars or yachts on Earth, and even aircraft carriers fell short by a grade.

This was Baili's dream, boundless and unrestrained, where a single thought reflected countless visions. Although the northwestern desert was formidable, it was not entirely barren; patches of green dotted the edges where the yellow sands encroached, bearing the name of shelterbelts.

Along the way were numerous AI cartoon figures, also replicated on a one-to-one scale, feeling a million times more authentic than those people wearing character headpieces for part-time jobs in the real world.

Without a moment to lose, William got dressed and, guided by the premonition of the Fate Coin, headed straight for the Mystic Forest.

Moreover, the air here was remarkably sweet. He remembered someone once saying that the air inside casinos was oxygenated to keep people exhilarated.

All the negative emotions converged upon the Red Dragon and the Bronze Dragon currently battling in the sky.

"Haha, no matter what, I still like seeing you like this." A smile played at the corners of Matou Yuki's lips. Unlike their first meeting, this was a very pure and genuine smile.

While Celtic mythology was indeed Britain's native mythology, the dominant ethnic group ruling Britain, both now and in posterity, remained the Anglo-Saxons.

Over in the conference room, the others were still waiting for Yue Gaoyang to return from the restroom. To their astonishment, less than ten minutes after Yue Gaoyang left, the one who returned was a corpse.

The distance from Cheng Family Village to Li Family Village was not far to begin with. Three carriages slowly entered the village in a row. As soon as they entered, these magnificent carriages immediately caught the villagers' attention. Everyone pushed open their courtyard gates and craned their necks to see whose courtyard the carriages would ultimately stop in front of.

As for the two Western faces, one was a bio-engineered mutant, and the other was presumably a firearms expert.

"Hey, isn't that fellow the young gentleman who was arguing with Lixia on Lanshan Mountain earlier?" Fu Ying blurted out with wide eyes.

"It doesn't matter, rest for a bit. I can still summon one more person today, but the other four aside from Leng Ya may go and rest first." Su Tong sat cross-legged, adjusting her breathing while smilingly gesturing an invitation with her hand.

The purpose was to groom Chu Feng as his successor, allowing him to inherit his mantle and know which of his enemies were still alive and which were already dead.

She covered her ears with both hands, trying to shut out those increasingly sharp piercing sounds, yet she could not stop the fear in her heart nor the chill rising from the soles of her feet.

It seemed that if this match had any potential, he, Ye Yun, would simply have to see it through to the end. If he wanted to uncover the true identity of Yanhuang, this was the only way he could keep playing along.

Roy opened his mouth and roared toward the sky, unleashing a roar that shook the heavens and altered the winds and clouds! From his mouth, a thunder god soared out into the sky, instantly transforming into a vast expanse of blue clouds blanketing the heavens, within which bolts of lightning continuously rolled, and clusters of thunder and lightning came crashing down like hailstones.

I instantly saw through his cultivation realm of the fifth tier of mortality, sneered aloud, stepped forward, and struck out across the air. A mighty torrent of vital energy swept past, instantly shattering the precious sword in Li Gang's hand into dust.

Meng Hu, Qidiaoxi, and Jia Wudao were approaching the mountain pass at a leisurely pace under the protection of the guards' regiment.

Once finished, I turned and walked toward Jin Ling, who at that very moment had successfully extracted information regarding that cultivator.

Gao Xi suddenly hit upon a good idea. He had constantly been looking for an opportunity to take Dabai out to breed and produce even more delicious lamb.

With two crisp cracks, the throats of the two guards were simultaneously crushed by the masked man. The masked man then loosened his grip, and the two guards slumped limply to the ground.

I sighed inwardly, endured the bone-chilling agony, and began to force myself to take difficult steps, wandering forward a fraction at a inch by inch.

The procession of officials was long. Before the formal imperial court assembly began, everyone gathered to chat, and Murong Yanda and the others up front had no leisure to mind Wu Zhi in the back.

Nothing comes without a price; to squeeze the life out of oneself so recklessly will inevitably bring the vengeance of life in return.

However, before those few could make a move, another voice in the arena pushed the auction to a new climax: "One hundred and eighty taels."

"No need for the higher tier ones to step up yet. You go next!" Yang Yule clenched his fists, then glanced at another second-tier intermediate card master.
