“How frightening could it be? At worst, I’ll just jump off a building. I’m not even afraid of dying—why would I be afraid of having no money?” Liu Feiyu said.
Her clear, ringing voice spread among the crowd like ripples on water, strikingly out of place amid the heated chorus of opposition.
It was palace-like, with a road paved in dark blue stone. Luminous pearls were set into the walls on either side, filling the entire passage with light.
The Zhao family’s forces began their search with the homes of ordinary citizens. Zhao Quan had lost his son, and those conducting the search had been given strict orders; they showed no mercy. Before long, the people of Zhenjiang were cursing the Zhao family’s actions, and within only a few days, the reputation Zhao Lin had spent more than a decade building for his family had been badly damaged.
At this point, Qin Tianfeng had no time to spare wondering why Qin Yu had done such a thing.
He intended to buy every lottery ticket in Blackwater City. That way, his chances of winning would be twice as high.
“Why is it so much weaker?” Ye Xing maintained his punching stance as he felt the power of the blow. He discovered that it was nowhere near as strong as the punch that had struck him that day—not even close.
The higher they climbed, the more intensely the temperature rose. Ye Xing was perfectly fine and even found it rather comfortable, but Chen Yan and Li Cheng were already drenched in sweat. Even Yun Shan’er was glistening with perspiration.
“Take a break. Have some tea—the stewards from outside the city have come to the house,” Meng Ying said.
Feng shui was originally the art of assessing land, a method of examining geographical conditions on site, also known as geomancy. Xuan Kong feng shui was used to determine the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of a location. Its core principle was to examine both form and principle: form meant observing the shapes inside and outside, while principle meant investigating the fortune and misfortune of the flow of vital energy.
After finishing everything, Fang Yuanyuan lightly pounded the back of her neck, shoulders, shoulder blades, and tired muscles, using the motions to relax at the end.
After speaking with Madam Zuo, she immediately decided to bring the Zuo family aboard the Li family’s cause.
Seeing that the time was right, the old master nodded to Wu Tiande and prepared to formally begin the hairpin ceremony.
“I have my ultimate ability. I can get over there.” After saying this, Chen Xuefeng used his ultimate ability to teleport into the red zone and defend near the first tower.
Qianzi raised her head and saw that Yun Qing’s hand was already hanging outside. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully draped it over Yun Qing’s wrist.

These days, he had been accompanying Kang Xiangyun at Hibiscus Studio, preparing for the private school. Li Qian was away from home again, so he came to the rear courtyard to greet Jiang Xian only once every two or three days.
In the next moment, the burly man’s upper and lower body split apart, falling to the ground in two pieces as blood and entrails sprayed everywhere.
In an instant, Ting Yan’s hostility vanished completely. To be able to cultivate an ordinary horse into something so intelligent was superior to every remedy.
Seeing Zhou Changying and Lin Wan settle everything just like that, Ning Wuyou secretly found it amusing. It was as though the matter had been decided with a few words, as though every obstacle had suddenly become nothing to fear. Ning Wuyou was extremely nervous, yet secretly delighted as well. She suddenly felt that happiness was one step closer.
Once the game reached a certain stage, all the quests would point toward a single destination. If Jin Yi had previously thought that venturing into the inner court of the Nangong family was nothing more than courting death, then the time had now finally come.
Watching her sleep peacefully, he raised a hand and gently brushed the strands of hair from her forehead. As he gazed at her sleeping face, his eyes held nothing but tenderness.
Besides, who was going to stop him? He was already a third-level esper, and even Captain Xu Dong had no confidence of prevailing. If this matter went through, wouldn’t the final task still fall on us? It would be fine if he was willing to negotiate, but if he lost his temper and hurled down a fireball, whoever went up would be the unlucky one.
The nurse lowered her head and leaned close to his mouth, listening carefully. Gao Yuan repeated himself several times before she finally understood. She nodded at him and turned to leave.
Bai Xue wanted to laugh when she heard it. Lin Junjie? Wasn’t that the name of a pop singer? Still, it was a good name. Ziyun did not laugh, however. She felt that Lin Jiao had truly given up on Gao Yuan, and could not help feeling sorry for them.
Its purpose was to execute those rebellious nobles who refused to obey the resolutions of the Noble Council.
That way, there would be a sheet above her and red cords on the three sides—left, right, and below. Once she turned into a ghost, no matter which direction she tried to escape from, Fatty and I would be able to react in time.
Only today did the two of them truly witness what a genuine expert was like. They had gone to great lengths to encounter a master like Li Bai—how could they possibly let such an opportunity slip away?
“If there were such a thing, what do you think would happen to you and your Chakola count family if the Grand Duke found out about this?”
Austin carefully sensed the change. Although his source power had not increased by much, a tingling sensation spread through his body, as though he were being subtly reshaped and strengthened.
He was unwilling to accept it. After all, that was their territory. If they lost it, they would become landless nobles, and once the assets in their hands were spent—

“What happened today was humiliation you brought upon yourself. I’ll collect a little interest for Young Master Ye first! Now, bow your head and kowtow. Do not get up until I tell you to!” Li’er snapped.
Besides, everything had already been prepared. Fang Pingying had been resting at home these past few days, but once the supermarket opened, they would all have to keep an eye on it. They would probably be so busy that even during the New Year they would have to take turns watching over the place.
“Then… all right.” Si Ma Youyue agreed. She wanted to learn more about the situation there before going to Sacred City.
In this inheritance trial of the Haotian Tower, Liu Hong had indeed achieved dazzling results. His identity as an unaffiliated cultivator had also earned him the admiration of many others like him.
“There are also five fifth-grade dantians and five million low-grade blood crystal coins.” Shan He, the portly dean of Wooddeer Academy, was actually trembling, as though he were afraid of the cold. Naturally, he had been angered beyond endurance.
His spleen had ruptured, and his heart was damaged as well. A moment later, when Mo Feng withdrew his spiritual sense from Lei Ming’s body, he already had a general understanding of Lei Ming’s injuries.
But when Duan Fenghua mentioned introducing someone to Luo Honglan, Fang Pingying could not help turning her attention back to the matter, waiting to hear what Zhou Yunmei would say.
Si Ma Youyue arrived at West Gate Feng’s residence, and the person leading her took her directly to the reception hall.
At this moment, Zheng Qi’s gaze was deep and his bearing astonishing. He looked nothing like someone drained of vitality and nearing the end of his life.
After all, this was Su Qingyu’s stronghold. With such a major incident occurring at the Su residence, it was only a matter of time before she received the news and hurried back.
Besides, with new senior management taking office, no one knew what sort of temperament the vice president had or whether he would make a show of authority upon assuming his position. Perhaps he would be just like the previous vice presidents—a mere figurehead.
