Chapter 52

Seated at the head of the table, Zhuge Zhen, the head of the Zhuge family, looked at his two children, his lips pressed into a tight line before his gaze finally drifted toward Zhuge Bai, a deep sorrow welling up in the depths of his eyes.

The more formidable the opponent, the more crucial it is to disintegrate them from within. The best way to deal with the Three Evil Brats was to make them turn against one another; utilizing the Necromancer's abilities, Leitai would hold nothing back against him.

Otherwise, someone as fastidious as Yu Yao would never have worn such filthy robes to see him.

They only knew the young master as brilliant, scholarly, benevolent, and daring, yet they never imagined she possessed such martial prowess, leaving them all frozen in place in stunned silence.

After giving it careful thought, Zhuge Bai ultimately dismissed the idea of immediately reporting back to Zhuge Zhen.

Without answering Meng Yu, she simply wept continuously, hurled the manual right into Meng Yu's face, and turned to leave.

What he left unsaid was that the Soul-夺魂散 (Soul-Seizing Powder) was named as such precisely because it could bring about a person's death.

Lin Jiayi was far from satisfied. "Eighty is out of the question, make it two hundred for me instead." Li Guangyuan would need capital to do business later on. If she didn't know her mother was someone from whom money only went in and never came out, she would have preferred to demand all three hundred yuan from the Qin family as well.

Guan Zitong had no desire to waste words on the absolute fool before her. Going along with her previously was merely to avoid intensifying conflicts between them, but now that a far more dangerous target had appeared before her, Guan Zitong trusted that she wouldn't still view her as the primary threat.

"Go, slaughter them all!" Celestial Lord Liu Ci commanded with a blank expression, pointing toward the army of evil spirits in a flat, indifferent tone.

Jun Jinjin embraced Xia Qi as they headed upstairs. The housekeeper opened the door; Xia Mei appeared to be in fairly good spirits, yet for some reason, as Xia Qi looked at her, she felt her mother seemed even thinner than when she last saw her.

Seeing the people nearby engaged in a continuous stream of heated discussions, Ulnni could only shrug indifferently and prepared to leave the area. After all, the attention Aimo had drawn just moments ago was simply too massive.

She had also deliberately kept a watchful eye, making sure Jin Shao had boarded the Li family's car and left the school before she finally came over.

When Beggs voiced this suggestion, Karina nodded repeatedly, as it was indeed an exceptionally sound plan.

After the capture of Kiev, not a single Slav would be left alive within the city; every last one of them would be marched off to the coal mines of Siberia to dig coal.

However, Manny was no Fatty Tiger. The momentary urge to return and face his uncle vanished into thin air the instant it sprouted from the bottom of her heart.

Never in their wildest dreams did Ludwig, Adolf, and Simon—representing the three major alliances—expect that Rocky would actually dare to kidnap them, leaving their eyes widened in utter shock.

His appearance was something the Imperial Knights Corps had certainly never anticipated, and it was precisely because of his arrival that a supposedly foolproof execution was completely ruined.

The morning air was fresh and delightful. Feng Jue used WeChat to rent a public bicycle, and Ye Yunle wrapped her arms around his waist, sitting on the rear rack with her feet dangling, smiling and greeting the children in school uniforms along the way.

"A domain?" Arthur Ling said in utter shock as she stared at the ring of crimson battle qi swirling beneath Aimo's feet. Even though Arthur Ling was already an eighth-tier elf, she still possessed not an ounce of understanding regarding domains. Now, witnessing a mere sixth-tier swordsman successfully manifest a domain, she could not help but be profoundly astonished.

While his consciousness remained somewhat lucid, Lu Mingfei desperately fought to suppress the demonic thoughts within him. The scent of dragon blood drifted to the tip of his nose, and as he inhaled gently, a trace of intoxication surfaced deep within his eyes.

She hadn't even stepped out of Imperial Consort De's palace yet. If outsiders who knew nothing of the context were to overhear this, they would likely assume the Grand Princess Ningle had somehow wronged the Consort.

The group moved to the Bating Pavilion. Li Feng instructed the convoy to cross the Ba Bridge first, then entered the pavilion to pay his respects to Master Yu before expressing his gratitude to the elders who had come to see off Master Xue.

Lin Wanyu's remark was delivered without the slightest trace of mercy, causing the corners of Xu Chen's mouth to twitch awkwardly.

To put it frankly! Once Hu Ben and his companions had made their preparations, the threat of a thousand or so infected individuals was hardly worth mentioning at all.

"Third Young Master, you... you won't secretly send people to settle scores with me afterward, will you? After all, there are plenty of witnesses present right here," Wang Chen asked calmly, a cunning glint flashing through his eyes.

Upon the white jade platform, amidst the mist-hidden formation of the Thirteen Celestial Palaces, the spiritual consciousnesses of numerous powerhouses continuously collided and exchanged.

A faint, inexpressible sorrow lingered in Chen Ming's heart. Class One had always cultivated Zhan Yining with the expectation of her becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination. If she chose the guaranteed recommendation path, none of the remaining students could be said to have a secure grip on the title of top scorer.

Just when Xia Tianling thought this fellow was about to give up, he produced yet another massive chunk of stellar meteorite iron and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Shortly before, in response to Wiglaf's challenge of "What gives you the right to be our teammates?", Su Xiaoqiang had smiled and proposed a "friendly spar" as proof of their qualifications.

At this mention, whether due to nervousness or something else, the middle-aged uncle's hand gripping the cup tightened noticeably.

He was acutely aware that if he could satisfy Shen Ling at this juncture, everything else would fall smoothly into place.

His bulging veins gripped the edges of the wooden bathing tub with lethal force, his bloodshot eyes resembling those of a leopard in the dead of night, radiating an aura of absolute danger from every inch of his body.

Lucy let out a cry, thrusting out her blood-red tongue as if to lick Zhou Sen's cheek, startling him into pushing her half a foot away in haste.

In the darkness, the latter's complexion revealed an unmistakable flush of pink, akin to an immaculate fairy suddenly tainted by mortal smoke, rendering her almost surreal.

Sensing that terrifying ghost aura, although the Wire Ghost was deeply resentful, it could ultimately only emit a cold huff and dared not utter another word.

Zhou Sen took a hot bath to wash away the sour, stale stench clinging to his body; otherwise, how could he possibly have the face to lie beside his fragrant, delicate wife?

Since childhood, her proficiency in the zither had been mediocre. In her youth, she studied music alongside her fifth younger sister in the manor, only to be dismissed by their tutor for lacking innate talent.

"Your Highness, this concubine wishes to see the Grand Emperor. Please announce my presence," Xu Maijin's eyes burned with absolute certainty.

Sensing the hostile gazes directed at him from all around, the young prince seemed to realize he had spoken out of turn, yet he showed no sign of panic. Maintaining his inherent arrogance, he let out a cold huff before striding toward the heavy doors standing before the giant boulder.

This was merely a game; letting him embrace her cost her nothing. Hopefully, this might induce him to abandon his hostile stance regarding the Chinese Dragon Clan.

Once the three factions secured their political funding, they wasted no further words and each began tense preparations for the initialization settings.

Only his sister's all-encompassing tolerance served as a true sanctuary after the exhaustion of fighting hard out in the world.

On the other front, a pitch-black primordial Yin Qi swept forth, freezing the very fabric of heaven and earth into absolute ice. Swarms of black snowflakes drifted through the air, each containing a malevolent Yin energy potent enough to freeze a half-saint directly into solid ice crystals.
