Volume 1, Chapter 37: Heavenly Eye Upgrade
"There is an antique fair in Shangjiang tomorrow night. Perhaps you could take the Frost Painting there to trade it."
"If you can find the right buyer, this Frost Painting will surely fetch a high price!" Li Binglan said.
An antique fair?
"What kind of trade fair is this?" Zhang Wenxuan became interested.
Li Binglan explained, "This fair is invitation-only. Almost everyone who attends is a person of status and influence in Shangjiang."
"Many dignitaries and wealthy individuals have a keen interest in antiques and artifacts. They love to purchase these items to add prestige to their status. That is why, ten years ago, someone specifically organized..."
PS: Posted by family on behalf of the author: The author went to the dentist and ended up with a fever, so he went to get an IV drip. This chapter was posted by family; there will be no mass release tonight. There is another chapter scheduled for tomorrow, and then we will have to see when he recovers and can return to the keyboard.
"Your subordinate welcomes you back, my lord!" Huang Yi, who had been stunned, quickly knelt down as well.
These foreign coalition forces were not weak; on the contrary, they were formidable—a truly powerful opponent. This was his first time organizing such a coalition and leading such a large army into battle, though it did not require much effort on his part.
Having experienced both narrow defeats and pyrrhic victories, the Protestant League and Count Tilly both chose to temporarily rest and lick their wounds while continuing to increase the introduction and equipping of new weapons. The Battle of Höchst, which should have occurred in late May according to history, was delayed by a mysterious, invisible force.
"Heh, you finally understand, but unfortunately, it is too late. Did you really think it would be so easy for you to obtain information about something so important? What a huge joke!" Seeing the expressions of the group, the Lord of All Evils let out a mocking sneer.
It was a young man in a dark red suit, a peculiar smile playing on his handsome face.
The three brothers felt more confident after hearing their eldest brother's words, and they did not delay any further.
"We were just dropping off Laurel and haven't made it home yet." Moira's warm voice and words brought a sense of relief to the three people on the scene. Even Roy, who had been furious, calmed down and stopped struggling. The mere mention of Sia and her safety had the power to make him clear-headed and calm.
The ice lily shimmered with a crystalline glow. Its slender stem and beautiful petals were entirely made of ice, looking so lifelike that it immediately drew everyone's attention.
Andropov seemed determined to change all of this, but his life was too short. Less than a year later, he followed Brezhnev to his grave. Chernenko, who had just taken office, was rushed to the hospital before he could even finish his inauguration ceremony, and thus, this situation gradually became an unwritten convention through long-term practice.
Chu Nantian cursed inwardly; this man’s hearing was sharp indeed to be able to hear from so far away.
They were blown off the vehicle by mere C4 bombs rigged with timers.
Jiang Yun scratched her head, but since she had thrown out this excuse, Jiang Yun could not criticize her for being pedantic.
The permanent population announced for Yushan District was only 100,000, but Lister had never considered establishing a base of operations in this place.
Because it had been a long time since they had "that," they had long since decided to do shameful things with Ye Mo that night.
Under the pressure, the Fire Spirit reluctantly accepted Matsuzaka Sakura's blood essence and dove into the Heavenly Eye Magatama talisman.
Especially Jiang Yun's seemingly brainless and rogue-like remarks—if anyone else said them, it would be seen as showing off and would be met with contempt. But for Jiang Yun, here and now, it was a natural display of authority; no one would doubt him, and some even felt there was a grain of truth in his words.
Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation was dangerous, the predator on the other side of the river had not yet crossed. They had already taken out one, and he still had time to change his magazine. Forming a combat formation with Hai Lingjia, combined with the sniper on the perimeter, he was very confident he could take down the remaining predator as well.
Furthermore, the giant panda, a national treasure, was extremely disgusted by the scent of the virus carriers; whenever a Poison Demon approached, it became extremely agitated.
This was because the owners of these two mechanical warriors were the number one and number two seeded students of the Holy War Academy.
Inside the Chu residence, Chu Mao was extremely worried. He had kept sending people out to look for them, but it was so late and they still hadn't returned. Where on earth could they have gone?
Now, these two fleets had also been incorporated into the Mutual Rescue Association's camp, becoming an asset for Zhang Tianyuan.
'I want to beat him one more time!' Clenching his fists, Gao Zhiye was now certain he had the ability to topple Hongou.
However, because their cultivation was not yet strong enough, they reached their limit immediately after absorbing enough.
"No, we are not of the same species; we cannot intermarry," Feng Lingxi said seriously, forgetting that Long Yi was holding her and that she should have been resisting.
Zhang Tianyuan could only sigh and turn the page. He didn't need to worry about the aftermath for those five soldiers; he believed Sun Deyi would handle it properly.
"My Lady, why don't you wait inside?" Xue Li was afraid the rain was too heavy and would splash onto Feng Lingxi.
These words sounded familiar. He remembered when the monsters first appeared, he had heard Ning Jihua say the same thing, though at the time, the phrasing was about maintaining communication and helping each other.
In just a moment, Xiao Yichen lured all five Earth-Fire Toads into the Great Array of Ten Thousand Miles of Water and Marsh.
Duan Ning knew this man belonged to Prince Duan; his personal shadow guard was exceptionally skilled in martial arts and had always been protecting him.
The two cultivators guarding outside the courtyard happened to be the other two third-generation disciples of the Tianxingjian Sect who remained on the island, besides Gu Pin'er and Mei Jie. They had been startled by the laughter and turned around, only to be stunned upon seeing the Blood Demon himself, momentarily losing the courage to block him.
Li Xun walked until he reached the table before stopping. Being so close to Li Douliang and Luomoshe was by no means a fun experience. He felt as if he were being pricked by needles all over his body, and it was only through the rapid circulation of his Burning Blood Essence that he managed to dissipate the rapidly forming subcutaneous bruising, preventing him from making a fool of himself on the spot.
With a snap—a sound completely out of place with the surroundings—the goalkeeper Dong Xin leaped up and forcefully blocked the ball with both fists.
As soon as Wu Kai finished speaking, the taxi driver skillfully operated the vehicle and headed toward West Street. Just as the car Wu Kai and the others were riding in pulled away from the school gate, a young man immediately hailed a taxi and followed in their direction.
Su Qianwan didn't know what to say next. Should she pity Qin Limu or Empress Su?
The giant eel was stuck with its sharp mouth wide open, revealing jagged fangs, its tail still thrashing in frustration.
Before long, Lin Yuxuan's groggy voice came over the phone: "Honey! I didn't fall asleep until one o'clock last night. Why are you calling so early to wake me up? Didn't I tell you I would eat on time even when you're away?"
Just like the way the fat man casually sacrificed his fellow disciples, the talk of "resignation," "errands," and even "helpers" always gave people a chilling sensation, leaving a taste of thick conspiracy and the scent of blood.
