Chapter 42

However, the crux of the matter lay with Chen Jialin. Hearing Old Liu’s meaningful words echoing in her ears, her face flushed a deep crimson. She gave a heavy stamp of her foot, intending to retort, but tragically found herself utterly speechless.

"Very well, impressive! Guess what I am thinking right now?" Hearing Zhou Yun say this, the Dragon Fortress subordinate's expression turned increasingly bizarre, as if he genuinely found Zhou Yun immensely entertaining.

"I wouldn't dream of making such a boring bet with you!" Chu Nan shot him a smiling, sidelong glance. This guy was really a natural at getting familiar too quickly, acting as if they had truly become confidants who could share anything with one another.

Gongsun Yuyan's face revealed a look of agonizing despair. She bit down hard on her rosy lips, the sharp pain instantly snapping her back to clarity. Disregarding the blood trickling down the corner of her mouth, her gaze hardened with resolute determination.

Especially when uttering the word "Senior Brother," he laid heavy emphasis on the tone. Combined with his smug smile, it made Xiao Fei desperately want to punch him.

"Doctor Chen, tell me, isn't this kind of treatment toward a prisoner going a bit too far?" Seeing that Zhang Zhiqiu remained noncommittal about Yu Hu's actions, Chen Fa'er turned his head to question Chen Ze, who looked rather kind-hearted.

As the bell rang signaling the end of class, university students entering and leaving through the main gate of Jianghai University gradually increased in number.

Imperial Physician Wang had truly suffered a severe psychological shock, driving him into a state of temporary madness. He actually rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen cleaver, and wildly slashed about, attempting to hack his own wife to death.

This concubine possessed a certain degree of intellect in her daily life, having on more than one occasion offered strategies to the head of the household. She also maintained inner calm when faced with major crises, which earned her deep respect and favor from the master. Whenever significant events arose, the master would always visit her quarters to consult with her.

That being said, even if nothing else could be done, simply sleeping with a beauty was always a form of bliss, right? Such a wonderful stroke of fortune was naturally something Chu Nan would embrace with open arms.

It was precisely because of this shred of bloodline connection that she went to great lengths to scheme for these things. Greed truly never forgets its objects of desire, or perhaps they had never abandoned their ambition to usurp the ownership of that place.

Luo Xia nodded slightly. Just as Carlos had said, this must be a maintenance entrance. He took a deep breath and, without the slightest hesitation, lowered his head and squeezed into the shaft.

Xingyue had never witnessed Fenghua wear such a solemn expression, one that exuded a supreme and inviolable majesty.

Dan Bo shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious." Then, cupping his fists in a salute, he added, "Many thanks to my friend for the rescue. May I be so bold as to ask your esteemed name and which sect or school you hail from?"

At that moment, Dan Bo suddenly spoke up, "I believe the Dragon Soul should possess this kind of stone." As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone turned their gaze back toward him.

However, the moment they stepped inside, they sensed the auras of Bai Yujing and Yue Fengpeng, causing them to instantly check their momentum and pull back their hands.

"I'm not asking you, what are you making a fuss for? I'm asking my male god! Male god, can you wait a moment?" Huang Mengmeng snapped back at Fang Yuqi before immediately gazing happily at Feng Yuqing.

Seeing Yuan Tian step back, Lin Ye noticed that the man appeared intent on remaining detached from the conflict, which suited Lin Ye's intentions even better.

After the hundred-meter-long blue flame blade descended, it instantly extinguished, while Qi Ling's body was frozen solid into an ice sculpture.

Prior to this, Bai Yujing had relied on the special techniques of the Life-Slaying Sword Formula to achieve a momentary burst of full power. Yet, he himself was actually incapable of truly controlling the process; if a single strike failed to kill the opponent, the one who ended up dying would most likely be himself.

After nearly half a year of companionship, Antaorix never harbored any sense of contempt due to the young magistrate's youth. On the contrary, he understood the terrifying nature hidden beneath Dhavers's seemingly sincere smile. Therefore, regardless of whether this diplomatic mission succeeded or failed, Dionia had already achieved its objective.

Chen Zheng's mind experienced a violent jolt, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment. The dark clouds in his mind dissipated, and a spark of insight was born. All his previous incomprehensions were suddenly made crystal clear simply because of Song Huaizu's single remark.

"Are you ready? This fellow's strength is extraordinary, and our auras cannot have the slightest flaw. Otherwise, if this guy investigates for even a moment longer, we might be exposed." Ye Zhenglong stared angrily at Commander Xia, who was gradually closing in, while secretly transmitting his voice to Cai Shishi.

Yet at present, the Wu clan truly had very few opportunities. Compared to the Demon clan being hunted down by the Human clan, the situation of the Wu clan was vastly superior. At least within the Human clan, there still existed the lineage of the Human-Wu hybrids, allowing a faint connection to be maintained between the Wu clan and the Human clan. Perhaps, by relying on this, the Wu clan might still stand a chance of making a comeback.

Cosenza did not prevent Antaorix from leaving; instead, he bestowed upon him numerous precious gifts, and his farewell ceremony for him was remarkably grand.

Emerging from this grand hall, Yin Junfeng turned back to retrace his steps, yet after walking through it many times over, he could no longer find the staircase leading down to the lower level. Listening closely to the sounds above, an eerie noise emanated precisely from overhead. He truly wondered what might be waiting up there. Should he ascend once more? Even if he went up, he still might not find the passage leading to the third floor.

Throughout the entire day, Chen Zheng remained concealed within a residential dwelling. When evening arrived, he prepared to venture out in search of some food. Just as he set off, a sharp cracking sound echoed from an unknown direction, followed immediately by shouts and clamor.

Now that Minghe's Law of the Soul had reached perfection, tracking down origins was as effortless as turning over one's hand. Although a few Blood Gods were missing, every remaining Blood God carried a sliver of Minghe's spiritual will attached to it. If a Blood God were slain by someone, this trace of spiritual will would attach itself to the murderer, making it exceedingly easy for Minghe to track them down.

Ye Zhengrong was once again sent flying by Wu Qingbo's fierce strike just like before, his figure entirely repelled by the overwhelming kinetic force. Meanwhile, Wu Qingbo's entire body trembled, and even the internal energy within his meridians stagnated for a brief moment before slowly resuming its circulation along the cultivation technique paths.

This was inextricably linked to Fu Lin's training of special forces and his trials within national security, much like how a person from later generations would walk down a busy street.

When did it begin? It seemed that even having a normal conversation had become an extravagant luxury. He had no other choice but to pin his hopes on these words helping her figure things out on her own.

As he spoke, he wore an expression of utter indifference. After all, he still had not unraveled Ling'an's intentions to this day, and whether he would ever understand them in the future remained entirely unknown.

He did not dare to venture to Mahón, the capital of Menorca, which was a natural deep-water harbor. Although it was abundant in resources, it was also a critical strategic stronghold in the Mediterranean. Bringing so many refugees without entry permits there to refuel would essentially result in being gunned down directly on the beach by customs officials and the military.

Essence Evasion: A rare skill that sacrifices a small amount of one's own vitality to forge an indestructible shell, the shape of which can be altered at the caster's will.

"Hah! I am just ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth—how exactly do you plan to deal with me?" Liyin stared unblinkingly at Xue Ruhai with an aura of unforced authority, as if intent on piercing a hole right through him.
