“He has not yet reached the Earth Rank,” Xue Jun said, doubt clouding his face, as though he himself was not entirely certain of what he was about to say. “But he can draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth to wield divine abilities.”

With a thunderous boom, it collapsed onto the ground, and an ocher crystal core fell out. After rolling for a while, it came to rest at Mu Zifei’s feet.

Lin Yong was stunned for a moment. Thinking it over carefully, he realized that aside from wanting to meet the famous actress, he had nothing more important to do. In the end, the only reason he did not want to continue helping was simply that he wished to live a quiet, ordinary life.

“Don’t I act this way only with you? I wouldn’t say another word to those other lousy men. Who can blame me when you’re the only family I have?” Li Feier said, her eyes faintly reddening. Han Ke was so frightened that he did not dare say anything more.

“All of you, come at me! Come together and let me see what martial artists are really made of!” Nan Feng roared.

Amid the faint, elusive light, Qin Ouzhen resembled a poppy radiating an alluring fragrance, tempting and teasing the innocent Chen Xu.

“Mr. President, we meet again.” This time, Lin Yong simply removed his hat and placed it over Jin Minzheng’s head.

Jack picked up a butter roll without hesitation and continued eating. He looked both heartbroken and delighted, and before long he began sobbing as he ate.

“The candidates have been decided. I’ll escort these remaining seven into the tower.” Qin Hao glanced at Su Huai, Chen Ji, and the others as they approached.

After Nan Feng finished speaking, the two Taoists from the Law Enforcement Hall finally reacted. Panic-stricken, they began shouting at the top of their lungs.

Alan’s men were guarding the entrance to the rich men’s club. The moment they saw Bifol, they hurried upstairs to report to Alan. Alan had Eileen change into the evening gown he had prepared for her. It was in the Laiting style and extremely revealing. Eileen obediently put it on, then followed Alan downstairs to meet Bifol.

This time, headquarters dispatched nearly two hundred mid- and high-ranking military and government cadres. It completely met Qin Lang’s needs; calling it timely aid in a crisis would not have been an exaggeration.

Perhaps he would even wish he were dead. After all, he was occupying a latrine without doing anything, while plenty of other two-legged sheep were fighting to take his place.

The body’s instincts could not be controlled, but Green still retained his reason. The experience of having lived two lifetimes had given him extraordinary self-control, and he did not lose his senses under the stimulation of his physical urges.

“What? You say this violates the players’ privacy? Please. Where in this world is there a true white lotus? If we really followed the rules and handled everything by the book…”

After a year or two, Sun the Lame, whom they had once looked down upon, had already left Ziyuan far behind.

Li Jian signaled for everyone to prepare for the next operation at once. This time, the Japanese were likely to be utterly ruined.

As for Zhou Tian, his body had transformed. The drastic weight loss had reduced him to something resembling a bamboo pole. His face had become frighteningly gaunt, his cheekbones protruding, leaving him looking pitifully like skin stretched over bones.

Principal Zhu shook his hand, leaned back in his swivel chair, and stared sternly at Ziye. The expression in his eyes made it clear that he did not want Ziye enrolling at the school.

After letting out a furious curse, the Japanese soldier took his box gun and moved elsewhere. He had realized that the place was unsafe. Besides, he was probably the only major in the entire infantry battalion still alive; nearly all the other officers of equivalent rank had been killed.

“The four old bastards” fled without a word, vanishing as fast as the wind, while Ling Yu slowly sank down onto the ground.

“Bradlow may still have a merman base on Mars. If he returns there and we try to deal with him afterward, we’ll be in trouble. He might even make a comeback and launch another invasion of Earth,” Jin Linger said worriedly.

“Him? He treats every drink he sees like a sworn enemy. I certainly don’t expect him to be willing.” Xie Jun drained his glass and let out a cold, mocking laugh.

“You…” Feng Yi felt a searing pain in her wrist, so intense that tears welled uncontrollably in her eyes. How could her delicate hand withstand such a forceful twist? She could not believe that the man before her was the refined and gentle Chu Tao.

My master said that this still was not the full strength of the Central Province. But where was that full strength? “One Hall guards the entire Central Province”—when would the people of the Soaring Firmament Hall make their move?

“No, there’s really nothing like that. You’re imagining things.” Zhao Gan replied with a perfectly straight face, though he had more or less figured out what was happening. It was probably another trick played by Cao Dan.

The elder had just prepared to stop him when Xiao Yan struck him with a single palm and sent him flying. He then followed Luo Ying inside. This matter was certain to cause a huge uproar.

Yan Fei silently watched the exceptionally aged white figure, a trace of imperceptible malice and cruelty flashing through his eyes. The brow he had just been unable to unclench suddenly relaxed, as though even he had not expected things to prove so easy.

For a moment, he wanted to have Mengzhu’s room tidied up. Then he remembered that it had always been kept exactly as it was, and there was no need to arrange anything.

Mo Qingting first cast a pitiful glance at Lai the Big Dog’s lackey, then reluctantly called out to Song Duanwu.

“Hey! I remember now!” Yongrong suddenly sprang up from his chair, startling Yongqi.

Cao Ruoxi burst out laughing. She had not expected Grandma to be so fashionable. She picked up her phone to add her on WeChat, only to see twenty-eight missed calls on the screen. Before she could return any of them, Jing Dan called again.

Because Butler Qian was in the kitchen, Lin Weiwei could not fully concentrate. She kept trying to push him away, but he continued deepening the kiss, again and again, until at last Lin Weiwei’s scalp tingled and her arms lost all strength.

Gu Xidong looked somewhat dazed as well. After a while, he finally said, “I’m sorry to have worried you.” He already knew everything Qian Anluo had done during those days, including her visit to Gu Yinming.

Someone had sent Ning Jiany an airline ticket early that morning. Qian Anluo casually made breakfast, then searched online for recipes before going to the supermarket to buy groceries. She was naturally healthy; Qin Qing had originally said that she should receive another intravenous infusion, but by morning she was already lively, energetic, and in excellent spirits.

“Can this really be used to refine a parasitic insect?” Leng Ran widened her eyes and stared at Ming’er in disbelief. There was something far too sinister about this thing.
