Chapter 111: Speak to the Point

The many Holy Lords nodded with clear approval, and when they looked at Jiang Chen, their expressions grew even gentler.

After saying that, he glanced at Su Liunian on the bed. It would have been nothing, had she not moved her eyes just then.

I went to the door once more and tried the lock again. This time, the door finally opened. Before stepping out, I deliberately looked back into the room to make sure there was truly nothing there. Only then did I feel at ease.

Now that Gu Xiao had finally delivered himself to her doorstep, how could she bear to let such a fine opportunity slip through her fingers so easily?

Before long, the door opened. What made Zhang Jin frown was that the one who answered the door was not Liu Jialing, but Zhang Min.

Wu Tianyi did not even see her more than a few times in a year. During all those times they were apart, how could he possibly have remained faithful to her alone?

“Did the men from the Southern Border give you a map, and tell you the route to Phoenix Mountain?” Qin Mohan asked coldly.

What was most fatal of all was that the theme song was a cover, not an original by Zhang Jin. That was the real key.

His other hand was still held in hers. Bai Yiyi felt the temperature in the room suddenly rise to nearly forty degrees. There was only one sensation left: heat.

And at that very moment, Li Xuanji vanished without warning, transforming into a streak of violet light that shot straight toward the brow of the Soul-Slaying Holy Lord.

Leaving aside the fact that her relationship with Du Bian was hardly good, back then Du Bian was still me.

If he had not kept hauling me up with all his strength, I would already have turned into a pool of water and fallen into the pond.

She looked at the couples around her, all of them beaming with happiness. And she, together with Fu Simo—she let out a helpless, bitter smile.

“Illegal?” Boss Bai sneered. “You’re talking to me about what’s illegal?” In all these years, that was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

“Go back by yourself tonight. Rest early. I’m going to your grandmother’s place,” my mother said coldly.

When Zhou Yan reached the second floor, he saw several thugs coming down. Without a word, he rushed forward with wild slashes and hacking blows. The thugs, seeing the bloodied blade in Zhou Yan’s hands, knew at once that the brothers below were already in grave danger.

It was a black-purple wooden cabinet, glossy and polished, with an antique shape. Even without considering what was inside, its mere appearance would fetch a handsome price in Chinatown.

I stretched out a hand and tightly covered my mouth, terrified that I might cry out at this bizarre sight. What kind of person could pass through such thick walls?

Fu Simo shot Kang Rongwei a look, and Kang Rongwei understood at once, taking the cloth from over the two men’s eyes.

And that was not the end of it. More monsters burst up from the ground. Among them was a silver-eyed zombie dressed in Qing dynasty official robes, its face twisted into a ferocious snarl.

By embedding so many lower-grade spirit beads of differing attributes, the Five Elements Crown, though only a lower-grade spirit artifact, had become the finest of its kind. To exchange for it, Lin Chen had spent a full three hundred thousand experience points—twice the cost of the Wind-Chasing Boat, which was also a lower-grade spirit artifact.

Song Ziming drove aimlessly through the streets, all the while replaying in his mind everything between him and Tang Cheng. They had known each other for a very long time, and their bond had always been good. Yet he could never figure out how Tang Cheng had come to feel this way about him, or why he had repeatedly schemed against Manyun.

There were so many people in Shengjing City. He could not possibly drag each one in for questioning, asking who had spread those rumors, and then trace the source all the way back to the man behind them.

Zhao Liying knew that he was also one of her fans, but he was being far too kind to her. She was deeply grateful, yet she also knew that she was different to him from everyone else.

Little by little, she had grown accustomed to the noise created by Qiao Jinyu, and even began to think that this was probably what life was supposed to sound like.

“You!” Cheng Xian was beyond frustrated. On top of that, the astonished looks from the diners around them only made him feel more humiliated.

“If you like me, there’s no need to wrong yourself by staying with Xu Zilong just for my sake. Do you understand? I don’t want to see you like this,” I said seriously as I looked at Feng Chengcheng.

During this past month, Old Lady Qin had treated them very well. The food, the drinks, the clothes, and everything they used were all the best—apart from the fact that the pocket money was rather small.

He grabbed Leng Qingyou in one motion, threw her hard behind him, and barked, “Hold her down!” His grip tightened even further.

Her phone then received a message from Li Zikai, along with a screenshot of backend data that clearly recorded the results of this promotion. It had broken records once again, surpassing DT by fifty percent in operating data.

Su Chen was far too close to Ming Chen. The instant Ming Chen burst forth with that surge of aura, Su Chen was forced straight down onto one knee by its pressure.

In an instant, Chen Man and Old Tan only felt a blur before Su Chen had already vanished from their sight.

Gu Feng’s voice grew ever more hoarse as he stuffed her into the off-road vehicle. Yet the moment she was forced inside, his hand trembled again.

Look at that—how ridiculous. For the anniversary celebration of their alma mater, Mi Lele had not even invited her, and instead told her that Zhang Xian would be going.

She called Lu Zeyang on the way, but he never answered. She had no idea why he refused to take her calls.

“Hey, hey, hey, but one thing is one thing. Those two fire-attributed spirit jades I used as fuel—when you get back to the Shangqing Sect, don’t forget to compensate me for them!” Yao Chi had been putting on his senior-brother airs only a moment ago, but in the next he had already shamelessly held out his hand to ask Su Chen for repayment.

At that moment, the Shadowless oddity lay motionless on the ground, while the soil beneath it seemed suddenly alive, crazily clinging to its body.

Jian Mu had never devoted herself to stars or singing idols before, so going to the neighboring side practically made her a newcomer.

At the moment, Annie had taken up another mission and even had the mind to study what she had gained from the previous one.

Dongfang Sheng did not even dare breathe in front of his father. Then Dongfang Changming glanced at Hao Tianming and said, “I’ll remember you.” After that, he led Dongfang Sheng away.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing so was a strict set of rules; otherwise, it would only lead to mutual shirking and even the result that, like three monks in a temple, no one would have any water to drink.
