Volume 1, Chapter 154: Manipulation

When Qin Zhaochuan returned, his mother approached him and said, "Our family will never accept that girl. You had better give up this idea; you must understand that she is not suitable for you."

"Not only does her family live in the countryside, but she also looks penniless—we are not a match in social status at all. I met her today; not only is she crude and unrefined, but she is also arrogant. If you dare to bring her home, I will die right in front of you!"

A cold expression flickered across Qin Zhaochuan’s face.

"Do as you please."

"Isn’t controlling my life your favorite hobby? Whether it’s choosing a school or a partner, everything has to meet your satisfaction. Even the friends I make have to be from families..."

Before Qu Youying could react, he pressed his thumb, stained with ink, onto the paper beside her name to leave a fingerprint.

"Xiao Zilian, so what if I have fallen into the demonic path? What business is it of yours? Do you know that these two are cowards who cling to life, and they even intended to erase Wu Jia’s consciousness?" Feng Qizhi said.

"Get out!" Er Jing, in a fit of rage, lifted his leg and kicked a fallen combat helmet across the room, but Li Mobai reached out and caught it firmly in his hand.

Although Snorlax's physical strength was only slightly inferior to Tyranitar's, in terms of the fusion of their roots, Snorlax had fallen too far behind.

"Ye Liusha, is your knee itching? Do you want to kneel on a washboard tonight?" The Duke gripped the phone, his face livid.

The one he called "Salted Fish" was his life-bound spirit sword, the one forged from thousand-year dragon crystal.

Feng Lin explained to the crowd that the Fifth Elder was a veteran of Fengqi Mountain, a senior figure of the same rank as his grandfather, so naturally, he had to show some respect.

Gu Shengge walked alone along the street, which was as bustling as ever. As he walked, he stopped in front of an inn.

Qing Yu heard the two whispering, but she paid no mind. After she finished painting, she turned around to show them.

"You don't think that by having the People’s Hospital fire her today, you’ve left her with no way out, do you?" The man seemed to see through Yang Qianqian’s thoughts, a mocking glint in his eyes.

After speaking, Gu Lingzhi commanded her flying spirit beast to dive toward the ground, with Rong Yuan following closely behind. The others, though doubtful, followed suit and landed.

The tail of smoke curled like a snake, obscuring Ke’s figure, winding around Sang Ruo several times as if trying to bind him—a gesture that was both protective and restrictive.

"Beast, die!" Qiu Yuanjin’s long sword swirled, whipping up a violent pillar of wind to shred the Winged Dragon.

It seemed that guy was always unfathomable; perhaps he wasn't really as bad as imagined.

"Wouldn't that be miserable? I heard Judge Wu hates the Ye Mansion deeply. He once sent people to ruin the fertile fields twenty miles outside the city, and didn't he seize them later?" Jun Shan recalled those old affairs.

The Emperor was stunned, then gripped his fists in anger, wanting to curse out loud. This unscrupulous couple was clearly just trying to enjoy themselves and dumping all their troubles on him.

Seeing Zhou Yingxiong sweating profusely as he focused on simmering the medicine, Chen Yuan found it hard to ask any questions and could only turn to take his leave.

Long before those men in black committed suicide, he had received word that Pan En had also arrived in the capital. The information later sent by his subordinates, who had been tailing him, only confirmed his suspicions. If he hadn't identified the culprit early on, how could his people have appeared so opportunely to rescue Gu Lingzhi every time she was ambushed?

Just like the fire energy in the underground palace of the Crocodile God Valley, the spiritual energy Chu Yi was absorbing now was extremely pure, requiring no refinement. In just the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the internal energy in Chu Yi’s body had fully recovered. However, Chu Yi did not stop; he continued to absorb the power of the stars.

As a city adjacent to the shrine, there were naturally many believers. Apart from pacifying them and maintaining order, the Metropolitan Police Department also had to face questioning from political figures who were closely associated with the Kashima Jingu Shrine.

Spider-Man nodded, "No problem. You might be a little surprised." As he spoke, Spider-Man removed his mask.

Clearly, this wasn't because Li Hao had gone mad, but because he had already subdued the Golden Pegasus!

"Wen Zhong, heed my command. I appoint you as the vanguard for the conquest of the hundred tribes. This time, everywhere you pass, spare only the displaced people of our human race."

Putting aside her heaven-defying performance in the competition, the mere fact that she could mask her own protection mark was enough to terrify anyone.

"That’s enough about my world for now. Next, it’s your turn to tell me what you know about the Great Sage," Zero Seven reminded.

The ball was at Toulalan’s feet. He passed it to Govou, who passed it to Fred. The Brazilian didn't hesitate, returning it to Juninho in front of the penalty area. The entire sequence flowed like water, without a single stutter.

Others might not have known of Ji Hao’s strength, but the disciples of the royal clan knew it very clearly.

As he spoke, Hanuman turned his head and spat a flame toward the bones at the bottom of the pit—it was the fire-spitting technique from the "Mountain" gate of the seventy-two earthly transformations.

That day, just as Xiao Long and the others returned from the spectator stands, they saw two Yordles waiting outside their lodgings.

However, the high-ranking members of the Xuanqing Three Sects had long since exhausted their fortune, and the reason Bai Ye-you was not in a hurry to seize power was out of consideration for the long-term development of the guild.

He Yafei was directing the warriors through the maze. The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger. When Qin Bofeng stepped out of his house and noticed the commotion, the villagers had already surrounded He Yafei’s performance area three layers deep. Song Ye was among them, constantly shouting "Hu Du," which presumably meant to strike it.

At the beginning, Meowth kept dodging, appearing to be at a disadvantage, but in reality, it was draining Yan Han’s spiritual energy.

"Yan Han, do you know what you are doing? Without the help of the Awakening Alliance, you won't survive a single day," Wei Jun said.

The stranger looked at the flat-topped man suspiciously. The man seemed insulted and said indignantly, "Don't look at me like that. I was just kindly offering a tip. I’m not a broker. I don’t get anything from you trading there; go or don't go as you please." Having said that, he walked away in annoyance.

But Chu Zhen had already asked Wu Hanqiu to put in a good word, so life would likely not be too bad in the future.

Zhao Mocheng hadn't expected it to be about this matter. He glanced at Nan Yumo, who looked back at him very calmly.

"I understand, boss. Actually, I have an estate in Brazil, a large farm and manor of over a thousand acres. I have dozens of men there, and I will bring the 200 people from here along as well," Markov said.

"Although Yan Han is an Awakened from Donghai City, we all belong to the Awakening Alliance. As the hosts, we cannot ignore this matter," said the deacon of the Luzhou City Awakening Alliance.
