Chapter 48: The Tiger-Eating-Human Case (18)

The sea snake slithered out of the water, splashing Blade all over. It shook its head, its slender body performing a seductive dance in the sea breeze.
Blade grew so furious he wanted to jump into the water to pick a fight with it, but Xiaoman stopped him, saying, "Brother Blade, finding clues is our top priority."
Blade could only let out a cold snort: [This coquettish sea snake, if you don't lead us to any clues, see if I don't slap you into a spicy strip with one paw!]
A seductive sea snake turning into a spicy strip—just thinking about it was thrilling!
There must be plenty of ocean

Chen Gui's warm hospitality made it difficult for Wang Youcai to refuse on the spot. Swallowing his anxiety, he ignored his parents' disapproving looks and followed Chen Gui to his home.

Blood Lao Jiu said, "So it's Ninety-Six. Who would have thought we'd meet again in the nether." Long Luo replied, "Indeed, we meet again, though I never expected it to be in this setting."

Two fifty-meter-long black skid marks scarred the asphalt road amidst a rising billow of thick smoke as the luxury sedan finally came to a halt. The tires were likely on the verge of complete ruin.

The Miaojiang Grand Luo Seal was a Daoist technique, generally eligible for cultivation only by those in the First Step realm. The rumor that anyone who mastered it would become an honored guest of the Miaojiang tribe was entirely a fabrication deliberately spread by the tribe itself.

I crossed my arms unnaturally, my fingernails digging deeply into my flesh. Every time I saw fire, an inexplicable itch would crawl over my skin.

He Wei's phone already had WeChat installed, so Xia Tian just added her as a contact. To his surprise, the signal deep in the mountains was so poor that the app just kept loading endlessly, making operations exceedingly frustrating.

Somewhere deep within the primeval forest, Gongsun Xiner, Gongsun Zhu, and Gongsun Mei searched aimlessly. It was Gongsun Xiner who had just spoken, her expression filled with anxiety and her face looking utterly haggard.

Upon hearing this, the martial artists of the Five Meridians grew even more furious, each unleashing their movement techniques to pursue them at full speed.

Wen Ruoshui stood nearby with an expression of extreme ugliness. She had all along schemed intently to frame Yang Yunhan, and seeing him now completely safe and sound, how could she not feel resentment and vexation?

Wanyan Xielihu showed not a shred of fear, stiffening his neck and shouting loudly, "If the Chieftain is wrong, why can't we object?" With that, Wanyan Xielihu extended his right hand and abruptly drew the saber from his waist.

"How do you propose to compensate?" Su Qian pushed up his glasses, the reflection on the lenses mirroring my frowning expression.

If you had such an exceptional man by your side who cared for you so deeply, you too would inevitably find yourself drawn to him.

Yet what about him? Nearly every task he assigned them had to do with Yu Chuchu. Could it be that after spending time together, they had actually developed feelings over time?

"I am merely doing as you wish." There was not a trace of fear in Yu Chuchu's eyes. Matters having reached this point, she had no choice left.

Although there was still that man secretly supporting her from behind, her performance nonetheless took him completely by surprise.

Looking at his grandson-in-law's deadpan and solemn expression, Li Rulin gradually began to calm the massive shock raging within his heart.

However, his Earth God Gaia was no such thing. If it were that rising faction, perhaps it might have been possible, but they simply lacked the qualifications.

"Where on earth did the two of you go, leaving the guest here by himself?" Seeing Qin Xuan and Gailou Qianchi return, the Lady Helian immediately berated them with displeasure.

Xu Minjia was also waiting outside the operating room. You Biqing had not come; she needed strict bed rest, yet lying in bed was absolute agony for her as well.

"What worries me now is whether they will actually make a move against Fan Mountain before their civil war breaks out. If that happens, we are going to be in deep trouble," Cao Canglong said earnestly.

Especially... Yi Li's eyes revealed deep worry. The Old Ancestor was coming out of seclusion once again! If the Old Ancestor seized upon this as an excuse, it would likely stir up a storm of trouble within the clan, and might even jeopardize his father's position as Patriarch.

The defensive power of the magic shield was indeed formidable; the red threads capable of instantly disintegrating the "Defense Shield" left not a single trace upon it. Yet Chen Rui's expression did not ease in the slightest, for continuing this way would only trap them in an increasingly passive state. The slightest lapse in attention or a moment of exhaustion would mean following in Baji's footsteps.
