Furthermore, Yiyunzi's technique has the effect of restricting chakra. Once the Buddha statue takes form, the trapped shinobi will be affected by the power of the earth-release, causing their chakra to stagnate.

"Bullying you? To be honest, I despise people like you who cry thief while being the thief yourself. Your heart is black and foul, and the moment I see someone like you, I want to spit on you," Shen Ruomei said coldly.

At this moment, Cheng Chuliang was making faces and winking at Cheng Chumao. Seeing his unreliable demeanor, Cheng Chumao grew somewhat annoyed.

"I understand what you mean. They will be arranged for later as well. Are there any other questions?" Shen Jianan said coldly.

Tengma Yota was a civilian shinobi, but due to his outstanding academic performance and exceptional talent, he was frequently recruited by various major clans. Consequently, he grew arrogant, conceited, and constantly out of place with others.

Feng Wu thought about it seriously, and just as she was about to say she wanted a supreme divine technique, she suddenly recalled what her eldest senior brother had said: What belongs to you must be fought for.

How she was raised did not matter; there was truly no need to flee to a distant land with her own nephew out of fear, forcing her own biological sister to bear the burden.

Sure enough, the current Qin Dailong was somewhat different from others. Many things that should have been kept strictly confidential and never stated directly were spoken by her without fear of consequences, delivered with absolute frankness and openness, yet without causing any aversion in people.

Wu Xinyao desperately wanted to ask why, but after careful consideration, he decided to obey orders first and figure it out later.

"Right, I used to beat and scold her frequently. She won't help us. Do whatever you want with us—kill us or carve us up," Yan Xun said, before secretly winking at Yan Wuxin to signal her to leave quickly.

"The effect is this good. Let me see!" With that, Chen Chufun snatched the mouse from Ye Feng's hand and began browsing the netizens' comments below the video.

After retirement, the dividend grade drops to the third tier. However, members with a graduate degree or above, as well as those holding senior or associate senior professional titles, still receive dividends according to the first tier after retirement. Those with a bachelor's degree, junior college degree, or intermediate professional titles receive dividends according to the second tier.

Mock not the infatuated, for the infatuated are hard to find; mock not the mad, for the madman knows himself. For the very first time in his life, Nanfeng Bujing doubted his own abilities. He had lost—lost completely. Although he had not exerted his full strength due to worrying about the stone statue, how could that person have possibly used his full strength either?

"You silly girl, haven't you ever heard that beating is a sign of affection and scolding is a sign of love? I bit him because I deeply love him. As the saying goes, weal and woe are shared together; since I feel pain on my body, of course I must also let my dear Wuxin feel my pain, so that it's fair," Jisha said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Under such wavering thoughts, his mental energy inevitably leaked, which in turn bought the hundred-plus people some breathing room.

"What inside story? As a human being, you actually watch the Sea Clan humiliate your own kind. Aren't you ashamed?" Jiang Rankong sneered, taking large strides as he walked toward several members of the Sea Clan.

Sorry, Yang Zongzong's calculation was simple: he also wanted to prove that his ability far surpassed Tang Fu. As for whether Tang Fu could stay in Qishan as the deputy president, that was none of his concern—that was a matter for the future.

"What does this have to do with you!" Avril ignored him completely, continuing to rub back and forth in Jiang Rankong's embrace.

Yang Jiaxi was in high spirits. Tonight's Christmas Eve could be described as the most thrilling one she had ever experienced in her life.

A question broke the silence. Louise looked up and saw Professor Gruber, shining like a light bulb, standing behind Hades.

Paying no mind to the excitement of her office colleagues, Lin Jiajia did not join in. She was pondering whether or not to make a call to Zhi Yaowei to ask what he had decided.

A crisp, rhythmic clinking of chains echoed through the air—sounds originating from the netherworld, carrying a powerful nether-aura belonging to the grim reapers of the underworld.

I suddenly jolted awake. Four sentences carved on the four sides of the stone pillar—did that represent the four directions? Whether it did or not, I had to try it first, since no other method could be found at the moment.

Upon receiving the news that Han Zhenhan's child had been born, these people all rushed to Han Zhenhan's mansion to offer their congratulations. Yet Han Zhenhan still retained the mindset of a merchant at his core; although it was a joyous occasion, his unvarying character remained one of making a fortune quietly without seeking publicity or drawing attention.

This was not even the biggest problem, after all, land in hand wouldn't fly away. The crucial issue lay in a batch of properties his family was sitting on, waiting for appreciation. After that residential complex was built, it was never put on the market, seemingly because they wanted to wait for the most opportune moment to launch sales. As a result of this delay, now that they actually wanted to sell, the properties wouldn't move.

Perhaps because she had reprimanded me, Ian behaved herself and stayed honestly at home for the period that followed.

"I'm in debt up to my ears. If she dares to marry me off, I'll make her pay back Big Brother Ye's money," Ai Qiaoqiao said, lifting her chin proudly.

About ten minutes later, a flurry of chaotic footsteps sounded from outside, followed immediately by three men walking in.

Jian Yiyun could not quite figure out Cen Manzhen. She had originally thought that Cen Manzhen's departure was meant to play matchmaker between her and Mu Zhijun, giving the two of them a chance to reconcile, but what on earth was this... all about?

"I want to stay a little longer. You all fall back first, I'll return shortly," I said very calmly. My plan was to go back and fight Moxie once more, even if it cost me my life.

The Warriors' Big Three made their collective move after the fourth quarter was more than halfway through, with Baron Davis re-entering the game.

Keep in mind that when they originally made deals with Doflamingo, aside from trading artificial Devil Fruits, there were also numerous high-tech products involved.

"My thanks to the Empress Dowager!" Who could possibly know the bitterness hidden in Princess Yu's heart? She had originally thought today was a golden opportunity to display her talents, never expecting that it would all be completely disrupted by a sudden, out-of-nowhere Yang Ahwu.

Hearing those two terms, Tianjun could not help covering her mouth and laughing. Her swaying back and forth made me feel somewhat embarrassed.

In that direction, numerous portraits were held high by fans, most of which depicted Fan Binggui and Kaka, with Fan Binggui taking the lion's share. Naturally, the depiction of Fan Binggui in these portraits was hardly flattering; some showed him sprawling, others kneeling, accompanied by captions dripping with insults.

"You must remember that when Gai Nie served in my Great Qin, the people of the six states he offended were countless, especially Jing Ke, who died beneath his sword and was reportedly a member of the Mo Clan," Ying Quan said to Zhang Han.

Now revisiting the old place, he himself had unexpectedly transformed into the role of the invader, leaving Lu Junyi sighing with deep emotion.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, please guide and advise me!" With a trace of a professional smile, Kim Hyun-jun shook Yang Di's hand warmly, lowering his head in greeting.

This was already on the verge of causing turmoil in the United States. As a superhero, Tony Stark could not simply sit back and do nothing. Therefore, after a fierce psychological struggle, he finally made up his mind to use his technology to support S.H.I.E.L.D., upgrading their weaponry once again.
