Chapter 121: Extortion

Although they say it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage, Lu Feng was simply not a man to be trusted. If Qiao Jing really married him, there was no guaranteeing her married life wouldn't turn out exactly like her own back when she had married Fan Chi. She absolutely could not let Qiao Jing repeat her mistakes!

At the airport, while Coco went to help Lian Youyou collect her ticket, leaving only Richard by her side, Lian Youyou said to him, "Richard, can you help me find someone?"

"Lian Youyou, do you think your boss is a private investigator?" Richard hung up his phone and lowered it from his ear. "I'm busy to death every day..."

The Daoist Jieyin had only ever glimpsed a trace of this power in the Emperor Ye of the past, and not one of the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao could compare to the Sect Master Tongtian of today.

Tatsuya walked down the dim street. The entire village had already fallen asleep, and the only light came from the streetlamps.

Left with no choice, he used the Spirit Crystal Armor he had just learned. However, he had modified it slightly, sacrificing its defensive power to form only a thin, crystalline layer over his body, altering the refraction of light to change his color like a chameleon.

"We have no more questions," the crowd said in terror, not daring to utter another useless word, though in their hearts they cursed the ancestors of the fool who had just asked the question.

Those who could remain in the Demon Suppressing Division were all powerful experts, or individuals with the potential to become one.

The minds of most trolls were filled with violence and lust; unless ordered by a commander, they would never consciously restrain their desires.

But for Kanae, her standing idly by during the battle had indirectly caused the death of Giyu Tomioka. Even though Giyu was later resurrected by Tatsuya, her actions undoubtedly amounted to betrayal.

In the past, as Saints of the Heavenly Dao tasked with maintaining the stability of the Great Wilderness, they had done such things countless times, but this time they had clearly run into a brick wall.

He met the bewildered gazes of the crowd, but most of all, the undisguised, urging look coming from the corner.

This was normal, as it was only a siege defense, but these one hundred and twenty thousand were the elites of the Qin State, accustomed to fighting one against ten, yet now they were held at bay.

Then, when Li Junhao realized he could recruit elite heroes, his heart trembled with excitement. He knew the hero units of Red Alert inside and out.

"Then I wouldn't know," the spirit said. "As for your situation, you don't really have to worry if it's just the Law Enforcement Hall of the evil cultivators. Unless they already know your origins, none of them will discover anything more."

The last sentence was filled with regret. Clearly, he also knew his knack for causing trouble and had guessed the reason why the other was reluctant to associate with him.

In a family, when conflicts arise and neither side is willing to back down, the result is that their affection slowly cools. After a time or two, it is over.

In Li An's opinion, the only flaw in this poem was that its wording was too ornate. It did not seem to describe the geese of Chunming Lake that they saw before them, but rather some ethereal, imaginary white goose from a dream.

"If you won't drink, then I'll have to take your friend's arm," Ma Tianlie said coldly.

After informing Juliana of the matter, Lin Qihua contacted Zhang Jingwen. Deeply concerned about Angelina's condition, he hoped that Zhang Jingwen, as Angelina's close friend, could offer her some comfort and guidance.

Having said this, he stood up, noticing that Yun Mu's face was rather pale, as if he had been startled by something.

At this moment, she stood on a large boulder on the mountain slope, gazing at the surrounding scenery while lost in her own thoughts. The more she looked at Fengying and Hongni, the more irritating she found them, yet there was nothing she could do.

According to the entries in the diary, he had once saved Lin Xue'er, and she had often kept him company, chatting with him. She had even confessed her feelings to him once. However, the guy seemed to have rejected her, apparently believing he was not worthy of Lin Xue'er.
