Zhang Wenxuan drove Li Binglan back into the residential complex. The two got out of the car, and Li Binglan kept looking him up and down, making him feel increasingly uneasy.

“What is it?”

Zhang Wenxuan could not help taking a step back. He wondered whether he had taken too many liberties earlier and whether Li Binglan was about to settle the score with him.

“Zhang Wenxuan, you have quite a lot going for you now. Where did you get a million yuan?” Li Binglan asked, frowning, her face filled with confusion.

In her impression, Zhang Wenxuan was merely an ordinary working man who struggled at the bottom of society, earning six or seven thousand yuan a month.

There were countless people like him in this city, but now...

Liao Xi entered the palace with the others. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and many others were there. At a glance, Liao Xi recognized most of them. Even Lu Zhi, whom he did not know particularly well, was among them.

Chu Qinghan suddenly felt a violent jolt in his heart as he recalled the moment when he had spoken with Xiao Moran. Although he had not said anything explicitly, judging by Xiao Moran’s expression, it seemed that she had not suspected him.

Wang Yun’s face instantly turned bright red. It seemed the old man was actually embarrassed. Liao Xi smiled, while Diaochan, who had been standing nearby, turned away, not daring to look at him. She understood the meaning behind his words perfectly well.

He had only said it casually, but Cheng Xue took it to heart. Later, she used this trick to frighten countless people harboring ulterior motives—but that is a story for another time.

A little closer. Just a little closer. Then she could use the dagger she had deliberately hidden in her palm after taking it from the principal’s office to end this duel.

The moment he finished speaking, many of the children nearby felt that he had a point. Four or five of the bolder ones immediately began beating the nameless child.

When the Black Market opened, merchants who had business dealings with it were notified half a day in advance. Some merchants with connections could learn the news one or two days early. Bob found out through an old friend that the Black Market would not be opening anytime soon, and the news kept him happy all night.

Cheng Xue below had finally finished indulging in her own reverie. Coming back to herself, she looked around—and only then heard the faint sound of wind chimes drifting from the distance. Her heart stirred. Could it be a Wind Chime Fruit?

The two sides were both seething with anger, and each was eager for a fight. Under such circumstances, the bystanders’ attempts to mediate were utterly useless.

Although this protective barrier was still only second-grade, it was far sturdier than the previous one. That was because Ye Wan had developed it by combining several different supernatural abilities.

Those eyes—the fox’s eyes from his dreams... Qin Mei’s eyes were exactly the same as that fox’s: startled, bewildered, and gazing at him in utter innocence.

P.S. Aside from thanking everyone who came to offer rewards today, I would especially like to thank Qingye You and all those who have silently cast recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.

Just then, Yu Shan’s phone rang. He answered it, listened for a few seconds, and his expression immediately changed.

Murong Shuo held Lin Ziyu somewhat stiffly until after ten o’clock, when Lin Ziyu finally woke up slowly. Looking at Murong Shuo, he yawned contentedly and instinctively burrowed into his arms. Without meaning to, he stirred Murong Shuo’s emotions so thoroughly that the man nearly pounced on him then and there.

Having been at a disadvantage from the very first exchange, Sima Taixiao did not dare let his guard down. Tu Jue’s hempen mourning blade could release phantoms of ghost paper to obscure his opponent’s vision and conceal his own attacks, while Miejue’s mourning sword possessed strikes capable of disturbing the mind. They were truly difficult opponents to handle.

Sima Xiaoxiao laughed. His saber intent swept outward, and a surge of savage fury suddenly rose within the tranquil sword intent. The two opposing domains restrained and contested one another, evenly matched for a time. Then Jian Wushi’s figure flashed through the air, transforming into a streak of red light as he attacked Sima. Sima responded calmly, and in the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.

The enraged Demon General steadied his stance and concentrated all his power. In an instant, his demonic might soared. Sunset Solitary Soul let out a furious roar and drove his lone spear into the ground beneath him. Demonic energy immediately spread outward, causing the numerous boulders to shatter into rubble.

After Lin Fei took the final dish off the stove and plated it, his gaze swept across the nearly ten dishes on the preparation counter behind him. Wang Ming had judged that none of them met the required standard, so he had intercepted them before they could even be served to the diners.

“The Empress Dowager was thrown off a cliff? Then how did she survive?” Tuoba Jing’s expression changed dramatically at the news.

No matter how kind someone is to you, if you feel nothing for them, then you feel nothing. Yet there are others who need do nothing at all—even people you once found repulsive. Once feelings begin to take root, you fall deeply before you even realize it.

“And you...?” Shen Haoxuan looked at Mu Luanqing and Mu Luanying. Both of them appeared to be approaching that limit in age.

Aside from helping him draw upon the spiritual power of heaven and earth during battle to increase his might, it simply meant that he could eat a great deal and had an efficient digestion.

Chen Dazhi’s consciousness remained fixed at the instant before he had been shot. He still did not know that those police officers had been impostors, nor that the bullet that struck him was actually a tranquilizer round. All he remembered was that he had died.

Xue Jian had spent the past year recovering from an illness, giving birth, and then recovering from the birth. After that, she had continued recuperating for one reason or another until she was practically bored stiff. In this garden, where she could do as she pleased, what harm was there in climbing onto a roof?

As Junlin fired nine successive rays of golden light from between his fingers, Li Mu was so completely stunned that he could not utter a word.

The strong only grow stronger. Once the Hongmen mastered the exclusive art of shipbuilding, they could construct a sea vessel for others while earning even greater wealth and resources from them. They could then use those gains to build more warships for their own forces, leaving everyone else with no choice but to follow in their footsteps.

At the imperial palace of the Great Banner Divine Court, the heavens suddenly changed. It was an omen suggesting that an unparalleled evil creature was about to emerge. Dark clouds filled the sky and enveloped the entire palace.

Gu Zhen temporarily settled on Fallen Leaf Island. As for investigating the matter of the ore island on Wild Mountain Island, leaving it to Ge Chunqiu was the best choice. If it had been anyone else, even with the strength of the Saber Palace behind them, uncovering the truth about the Wild Mountain Island mine would not have been easy.

Just as the punch was about to smash into Junlin’s face, several of his brothers—including Bamboo Pole and Monkey—watched with sweaty palms. Yet Junlin’s body suddenly blurred, and he moved sideways from the flank, appearing directly behind Leopard.
