Volume 1, Chapter 57: Wang Yanran's Punishment

Wang Hai's eyes widened. Even Zhou Xuefeng, who had always remained calm and collected, could no longer sit still. He gripped the sofa armrest tightly, though he did not say a word.

Without a doubt, all of this must have been arranged by Song Ziming to deliberately let him see this scene, misunderstand Qin Feng, and consequently... Song Ziming must have noticed the unusual relationship between her and Qin Feng.

Xiao Ziyu knew Luo Hou's personality very well. Under the present circumstances, it could be practically confirmed as Luo Hou's doing.

In the distance, Hai Bodong's mouth twitched slightly. He harbored a deep fear in his heart toward Xiao Yan's eldest brother. Even for someone like him, facing this single strike—even if he managed to block it—would leave him severely crippled.

He glanced left and right, his gaze finally landing on Whis. A thought stirred in his mind, and he conceived a plan.

Accompanied by a burst of loud laughter echoing from within the Palace of Purple Heaven, a figure quickly appeared to welcome them.

Qing Xu looked at Gong Xing, never expecting this branch president to possess such boldness. Fifty Dao essences were produced without hesitation, and the conditions offered were exceptionally favorable. He knew that the only reason he was willing to agree to Gong Xing's request was to utilize the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce's network to pave the way for his future.

Following a series of violent sonic booms, a white rainbow carrying sword light that seemed to tear the firmament arrived instantly above Crystal Lake. The approaching sonic booms terrified Kong Songbo in the void and the Blood River Team members below.

They had encountered many strange occurrences today. Originally intending to wait until nightfall when no one was around to make their move, a series of developments forced them to advance their plan. To their surprise, they had run into such a violent thug at this moment.

Xi Qiushui, known as the Fairy of Autumn Water, wore blue robes and practiced the Nine Yin Profound Spirit Technique, the signature cultivation method of the Ice Mist Valley. She possessed a quiet and cold disposition, disliking conversation with others. Yet, this only made those who had witnessed her celestial beauty yearn for her even more. Her aura was like a poisonous flower petal, drawing countless frantic bees and butterflies to pursue her.

The God-Slaying Curse was eroding Jiang Yun's cultivation base. Streaks of black light invaded his spiritual meridians, vital energy pools, and spiritual apertures, penetrating deep into his flesh and blood.

Ye Chen flashed backward to put some distance between himself and the creature, allowing him to clearly see its full appearance. Its entire body was covered in black fur, and it stood roughly one meter and thirty centimeters tall. The hands it held high did not grasp any golden maces; instead, both hands were pressed tightly together, as though encased in a thick layer of cement.

He knew that within this team were Hua Kekei's maternal grandson and paternal grandson. Once anything went wrong, Hua Kekei would undoubtedly feel heartbroken beyond measure.

Subsequently, with a click, Zhan Peng leaped down from the hidden door of the mechanism box. A thick mat was placed beneath the box to prevent injuries during coordinated stunts. Zhan Peng landed smoothly on the mat and sprang up with a carp-like kip-up.

What Xiao Yi said sounded casual, and those listening heard it clearly, but did the underlying meaning truly convey goodwill?

Because the commotion was so immense, even those who were not deities could sense a force of time descending from the heavens.

In reality, for martial artists—and especially for a Saint—last night's physical exertion was minimal.

Tang Ming was not foolish. Anyone whom Muye addressed with the polite form of "you" could only be that person across the entire Sky Slope City, aside from the Blue Flame Cat Demon, Blue Flame Cha.

Ling County was not an impoverished county; it ranked among the top five economic counties and cities in the entire Xiangnan Province. Naturally, the consumer purchasing power as a county seat was quite substantial.

Fujiwara Yu's dark, piercing eyes stared straight at the three glaring characters reading "In Surgery." He did not even dare to blink, for he was afraid. This time was unlike any previous occasion; Jian Yu was in a state of extreme peril.

"The master is too lazy to watch; she always makes me watch," Dian Dian said. At this moment, Ye Ci was right in front of him, and scanning the countless inner complaints within Ye Ci's mind was an effortless task for him.

Yun Simi watched as Ban Yihan emerged from the room holding a dark, foul-smelling medicine. However, when applied to her feet, the cool, refreshing sensation instantly alleviated the pain.

At that moment, Lei Long suddenly let out a loud shout, "A-Ming!" and lunged forward to tackle A-Ming to the ground.

These were fragments broken off from his father Liu Lian'an's car. At this moment, they felt like invisible knives stabbing straight into Liu Bo's chest.

As he spoke of this, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to smooth out, making his cheeks appear remarkably smooth.

Furthermore, spirit stones could no longer be purchased with mere money nowadays; one had to possess items of equivalent value or control spirit veins in order to mine them.

Originally there were ten pirates. If they had all approached together, Mao Rihai could have dealt with them in one fell swoop. Now that they had split up, only five came over while the other five headed upstairs.

Following a harsh screech of tires against the ground, the heavily damaged Toyota sedan was shoved to the roadside, and leaking engine oil and other fluids soaked a large patch of the pavement.

This maid felt nothing but disdain for Yun Simi. So what if she had won the eldest young master's favor? She was still a woman without status or title.

If nothing went unexpected, it should be inside Teaching Building No. 14. After eliminating Chen Zixin and rescuing Liu Ming, following the prompt of this "guide NPC," they would need to find the sacrifices matching the five elements' destiny and eliminate them.

Compared to his past experiences in places like the Middle East and Africa, where security here seemed comprehensive on the surface, it still appeared full of flaws in his eyes.

"This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, the next time will only come when we have the capability to be here ourselves. But by that time, I believe the significance will no longer be there," said Daoist Taiyi.

Pierce's nickname, "The Truth," originated from an interview during the 2001 series between the Celtics and the Lakers. Paul Pierce scored a staggering 42 points in a game they narrowly lost. In the post-game interview, Shaquille O'Neal stated, "Remember my name is Shaquille O'Neal, but Paul Pierce is the truth."

As Lu Bing came to a halt, Chen Zun was surprised to find that they were standing on high ground, seemingly perched atop the imperial prison. From this god's-eye perspective, they could easily take in every single detail of the conditions inside all the cells below.

For Bai Yujing, this had been an unresolved puzzle left over from the Dragon King Guild thirteen years ago, and today the mystery was finally unraveled.

The Empress Dowager was currently bedridden. Upon hearing the news, she instructed the Eldest Princess to prepare some nourishing provisions and visit Concubine Dowager Dong's palace to check on her and offer comfort.

Hearing this, Qiu'er's mouth twitched. Why hadn't she noticed it before? This ice nine-tailed fox from Tu Shan was so foolish.
