Volume One, Chapter 125: Chen Tai Found Li Ruochu
Feng Yizhou returned to his luxurious yet desolate home with a heavy, leaden gait and a dark expression. His face seemed shrouded by storm clouds; his usually deep, sharp eyes were now clouded with gloom, and his tightly pursed lips betrayed his profound displeasure. The oppressive atmosphere was so thick it felt as though the very air around him had solidified.
Jiang Mu had been waiting in the living room. Seeing the look on Feng’s face, his heart sank, and he realized immediately that something had gone wrong. Observing Feng’s expression with extreme caution, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Feng, did you not explain things properly to Secretary Li?"
Jiang Mu knew well that discovering someone so meticulous... yet Shen Yu seemed completely unaffected, or rather, his influence had only steered things in a positive direction.
The Demon Spirit Legion appeared first. Every demon spirit’s gaze converged on the battlefield of the Holy City, and then, shock flickered in the eyes of every one of them. Though their outward appearances had changed, their strength remained the same; the Golden Bell Shield, Purple Thunder Force, and Electric Current Propulsion were all at their peak, ready to unleash formidable combat power at any moment.
Yang Zining swung the steel pipe he had just snatched from the burly man and smashed it down onto the blond man’s kneecap.
He had not expected such a massive harvest from this trip to the Twin Heavenly Stones. No wonder the Emperor was not at all worried about the Ninth Princess; it turned out he had known the outcome all along. He stated that he did not expect an answer immediately, only hoping the message would be relayed to Shen Yu so that Shen Yu could make his own judgment.
Since the two began their duel, Yang Zining had only evaded, never once initiating an attack. If he could dodge, he would never parry; if he truly could not avoid an attack, he would retreat at the slightest touch, never dragging things out.
To boost morale, the underage King Zheng of Qin would personally head to the front lines to fight the enemy alongside the troops.
As for the side effects, Chen Bo felt that once or twice was fine; if his learning progress continued as planned, he would be free of the dependency in less than half a month.
The Asura youth’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he twisted his body with all his might, attempting to dodge the edge of the Chaos Sword Qi dragon.
A crisp sound echoed—the sound of a door bolt being flicked aside by something—and then five shadows crept slowly into the earthen house. The process was swift; in less than thirty seconds, the door closed again, and everything returned to normal, even the sound of the old man’s snoring resuming.
This was the helplessness of living as a son-in-law; one had to live by others’ whims. If they were unhappy, one could end up sleeping on the streets and starving.
Shen Wanting, hearing that her parents were at their wit’s end, knew she could not let herself marry that scumbag. She wanted to ask her friends if they could help her scrape together the ten million.
Those who did not understand medicine could not see what the two of them were doing; they only thought it disgraceful that Yu Wanxi remained prone on the ground.
This could be considered a summary of the past six months, during which Ning Yuan had continuously published the Heavenly Secret Rankings and bestowed opportunities.
Yan Rao could not stand the sunlight and hurried to the amusement park’s rest area to order a glass of iced cola.
Suddenly, spatial fluctuations occurred beside him, and an old man he had never seen before materialized.
Ninth Master had always cooperated with Shen Nanfeng; they had worked together since the incident with Principal Tan’s record, and he had total confidence in the latter’s capabilities.
Yi Xiaotian inwardly marveled; the opponent was indeed a master to have seen through the intricacies of such an uncanny formation.
The remaining four experts saw this and retreated in terror, then turned and ran for their lives. But would Jiang Yi give them a chance to escape?
After this explanation, Zhang Tian understood. Divine beasts were extremely rare, and while there were many folk legends, they could not be taken entirely at face value.
Qin Zhao frowned. If he had heard of it, he had; if he hadn’t, he hadn’t. There was no need to lie about it.
By now, Zhang Tian sensed something was wrong. The ceaseless magical attacks made him realize that a problem had likely occurred, and he stopped defending passively.
Without the rich second generation you provided, a country girl like her couldn't afford Chanel, couldn't play the part of a socialite, and wouldn't be able to hook a top-tier wealthy heir.
After checking out in the afternoon, the two were going to the city to catch a flight, as letting Chu Luowei sit in a car driven by someone else for a long time was truly a problem.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang said, "I do have a request. Before I came here for the trial, an elder entrusted me with finding a piece of the 'Ghost Wood' unique to this place. But I have been here for some time now and have never seen any 'Ghost Wood'."
"Luo, my girl..." He had to admit that Ye Qingluo’s words brought a sense of warmth to his heart, which had seen all the desolation of the world.
The dragon shadow swirled and landed on the surface of the bamboo tube, emitting a clinking sound, but it could not penetrate the tube at all, nor could it detect the bamboo slips inside.
Xu Yang’s mind flashed back to his training with Zhan Yunfei, Liu Haiyu, and the others in the Green Fire Demon Realm. The power of Zhan Yunfei’s Qi Wood Bow was incredibly fierce; his destructive power was the greatest among them.
He then walked to Yue Qi’s seat and put the chair down. Passing by Yue Qi, he cast a sidelong glance at him, his lips curling into a smile that was not quite a smile. The others suddenly realized—so, they knew each other.
Upon colliding with the big tree, Yue Qi was in no rush to use his E skill. He was only level two, having only learned Q and E; he had only learned E to close the distance, as under normal circumstances, Hecarim the jungler wouldn't learn E until level three.
This game was settled. Although the opponent still had over two million left, they had no heart to continue competing, and finally conceded, acknowledging Zhen Tao as the victor. The surrounding crowd gasped in amazement.
