Volume 1, Chapter 59: Chu Linyuan, You Despicable Man
Lin Qingwan could not see her own reflection, and naturally had no idea what intensely ambiguous marks the man had left upon her body.
Driven to the absolute peak of fury, the woman raised her hand and struck fiercely across the man's face.
As a practitioner of martial arts, Chu Linyuan easily perceived the woman's flaws, yet he couldn't even be bothered to dodge.
Given this woman's strength, a "strike" felt much like a "caress," differing only in the degree of force applied.
Lu Yu's words hit the nail right on the head, and Chen Qingguo knew that the surest way to guarantee absolute foolproof success was to draw the firewood from beneath the cauldron and completely eradicate the roots.
Just as Xia Yixian was tearfully pouring out her grievances and Zhou Jingming was holding her in his arms with the utmost tenderness, how could Zhang Linghan possibly endure it? It was enough to force her to take matters into her own hands.
Ai Gu's gaze froze. Murong Lingsang's words struck her heart like a massive boulder crashing down with a resounding thud, stirring up towering waves across the lake of her emotions.
Ai Gu moved her feet slowly, feeling as though a profound, desolate, and deeply yearning gaze had fallen upon her. She turned slightly and, guided by pure intuition, looked in that direction.
"I demand that these reports completely vanish before Lingjing awakens!" Mo Xiu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with resentment as he stared at the scene before him.
Sun Yinyin looked at me with an icy gaze and said, "Hero Yang truly has quite the posture and quite the martial arts skills." The dripping sarcasm in her tone could be felt from three miles away.
Ji Nanshen nimbly evaded, and then heavily sucked and bit her lower lip, causing those lips to begin... sliding downward.
At that exact moment, the sun leaped over the horizon and rose into the sky. When the first ray of sunlight broke through, it illuminated the wandering souls, making them appear even more crystalline and translucent. Suddenly, a mountain breeze arose, fluttering the soul-guiding banners. As I blankly watched the hundred thousand wandering souls drift far away on the mountain wind, the heavy stone that had weighed upon my heart finally plummeted to the ground.
At this, Dongfang Bai merely rolled his eyes, left his room, and headed to the main hall to discuss sect affairs.
That masked cultivator was a Core Formation cultivator from the Star Palace, which explained why even one of their opponents was only at the mid-Core Formation stage.
The other party clearly possessed a certain foundation in martial arts, yet was now deliberately heavy-stepping to warn the people inside the room.
The next day, the three armies once again issued a challenge to battle. However, the engagement was thoroughly perfunctory; after dragging out the day, they returned to camp to eat.
"Elder sister, why don't you keep the brother-in-law in check? I haven't even crossed the threshold yet, and he's already talking to me like this. If I were to become his sister-in-law in the future, wouldn't he be even more arrogant and insufferable?" Jiang Pingping complained bitterly.
"Cough... cough cough..." Si Qilü raised a hand to press against his lips and coughed softly a few times, his complexion turning almost instantly much paler.
After a long while, Jin Rou'er seemed to have made up her mind, but just as she was about to speak, Tang Xiaofeng cut in ahead of her.
A flash of white light crossed before her eyes, and Tao Nai instinctively raised a hand to block it, immediately followed by the sound of children ringing in her ears.
Tang Xiaofeng looked over and saw several men pinning Leng Yue to the ground, while a bearded man was in the midst of reaching out to untie Leng Yue's clothes.
This pigeon-egg chair was designed to accommodate the width of three people, and its weight capacity was well within the average weight of three. After Jiang Zhen placed Duanduan onto it, the child rolled over inside, looking much more energetic.
"How agonizing, I am in so much agony. The men in the village say I stink, that I've already rotted away. Sob, sob, sob, what should I do? Will Big Brother Daliang reject me?"
"My clothes were worn recently and all sent out for dry cleaning, so only this set was left," Zhuang Qingqing could only explain with an embarrassed smile.
"There's more. This is my job application, one for each of you. If you can't see clearly, use your reading glasses." Holding a stack of papers, Lingfeng handed them out one by one to everyone present, including the sulking Huo Siling sitting off to the side.
The Demon Mist Forest occupied half the territory of the Chunlan Continent and was the most perilous region on the mainland, teeming with all sorts of dangerous phantom beasts.
Faintly, those spatial ripples seemed to begin morphing into the illusions of malevolent ghosts, their fangs fierce and cruel, carrying boundless slaughter. Yet this aura of slaughter was obviously restrained to the absolute extreme; even standing right before the opponent, it was impossible to truly determine the exact moment the attack would be unleashed.
