Forty-one branches.

A sharp, stabbing pain radiated through her chest, and a mist of tears quickly clouded her vision. He Susu’s entire body went rigid.

However, when it came to appearance, there was a difference between "original" and "modified." Wang Luodan did not want to leave any lingering resentment in Zhao Zixian’s heart over such a matter.

"If even the Master cannot see the Young Master, how are we to receive news of him? It is unlikely the Master will take our word for it, so we must trouble you, Miss, to accompany us and explain the situation to him," Lu Nanfei said in a low, solemn voice.

Just as the bald man was about to scream, Gabriel lunged forward, slicing him in two with a single stroke of his sword; from the center of his brow down to his crotch, his body slowly split apart.

"Shao, there is no need for such formality. I am out today to enjoy the day with my beloved concubine, so let us set aside the etiquette between monarch and subject," the Emperor said with a smile.

Cao Yu was remarkably direct. He even brought Deng Zhongtao along today to show his sincerity, which surprised Wang Haoming with how clean and efficient Cao Yu’s methods were.

Zhou Zhou collected himself, breaking into a light sweat. He hung up the call, pocketed his phone, and clenched his fists. With a slight movement of his feet, he vanished from the spot, reappearing an instant later within the警戒 zone, right at the edge of the Ghost Realm.

During the days Zhao Zixian spent recovering from his arm injury, Wang Luodan had accompanied him every time Ye Ruo visited. As a result, the two had developed a good relationship—at least, they were friends. As for a bond as close as sisters, Wang Luodan feared she could not accept that.

Even more extravagant was the fact that she had fifteen passenger decks, equivalent to a ninety-story hotel floating on the water.

The Heavenly Queen seized the moment, lifted her beautiful leg, and kicked the fat man out of the men's restroom, sending him sprawling into the lobby.

Guo Hao shook his head, then put away the immortal crystals and thunder crystals. He slightly modified the formation into a self-destruct mechanism; if anyone dared to force their way into the room, the formation would detonate. While not powerful enough to kill, it would certainly give even someone at the Mahayana stage a difficult time.

It started slowly, but as more water gathered on the blade, it broke free from the freak’s grasp in the blink of an eye.

Led by the administrator, all the lords in the hall walked toward an altar-like structure.

Knowing Li Bai had important business to attend to, Leng Ruobing took Chenchen to school that morning. It was their first time walking to school together, and the sense of joy they felt was beyond words.

The two sat down like a prince and princess from a fairy tale. Surrounded by such a romantic and beautiful setting, with the night lights flickering on and fireflies beginning to dance in the air around them, the atmosphere was enchanting.

After uttering those four words, the man frowned imperceptibly, clearly feeling bewildered, as if he himself did not know why he had said them.

Xia Mo had told him over the phone the day before yesterday that the hospital had declared her mother’s condition terminal, with no hope for treatment.

"If I have spoken even half a lie, may the heavens—" Yan Jiansen didn’t finish his sentence before Su Qiaoxue covered his mouth with her hand.

Watching the red bumps vanish completely under his treatment, the Divine Doctor Ye let out a silent sigh of relief. He felt a great sense of accomplishment; he had finally found a cure for allergies, and the snow lotus cream he had on hand should be enough to treat Lola.

Before Mei Xiang could react to what was happening, she heard Li Jiaxin let out a wail, followed by a flurry of messy footsteps. There was no need to ask; Li Jiaxin had surely been chased off by Da Huang.

Huang Tiexin naturally knew that Zhao Zhengce had a good relationship with the Qian family, so he just smiled, tacitly acknowledging the fact.

He had never considered this question, though Jones and the other great lords he had robbed likely understood it; it was just that no one had ever thought to tell him about this simple taboo.

It is said that Nanhai Prefecture has three passes: the Taiyin Pass, which has already been breached; the Taiyang Pass, which everyone is now guarding; and the original Nanhai Prefecture itself, which Wang Chunyang has converted into the Nanhai Pass. Far to the rear lies the dojo of Kuafu, the shores of the South Sea.

"Then how do you intend to open up this word-of-mouth breakthrough?" Xiao Han looked at Jiang Zhaojin. This man placed great importance on publicity, but he hadn't expected him to value the effects of word-of-mouth even more.

"A-Chen..." she called his name, just as she had for the past three years. Even though each time was merely directed at a blank white wall, even though there was never a response, she persisted, calling his name as if the act itself filled her with strength.

Xi Sa could not be bothered to say much to them. A-Dai was foolish, A-Jiu was pathologically narcissistic, and Yan Yangtian was somewhat ignorant of the gravity of the situation; despite his momentary cleverness, he lacked a grasp of the big picture, thinking he could kill Zhao Wuji through mere improvisation. He immediately ordered the group to set up camp, and after dinner, he pulled Xi Fei aside to consult with her.

"Mom, did Yu die?" the mother telling the story asked her child at the end of the animated film.

Yun Xiao gave a faint smile, her gaze flickering toward the adjacent private room, before she began the Q&A.

One was returning home, and the other felt much the same. Xiao Han could not understand why such a kind-hearted old man would be considered so terrifying. He was not intimidated at all, and grabbing Zhi Shuang, the two stepped out and got into the car.

As soon as the explosive Gu passed, Feng Zhi lightly shook the bell in her hand again. There was no visible movement, but the giant snakes swimming toward them began to rot away frantically. Before they could even reach a hundred meters, the dozen or so vanguard snakes turned into piles of putrid flesh.

Dozens of people trembled, stammering and afraid to speak. Some even looked toward the setting sun, only to be stopped by the gaze of their opponent.

Just as he was about to leave, Ling Feng’s phone rang. It was Zhu Lei, and Ling Feng knew they had arrived at the hospital.

"Mm." Being kissed by Jiang Suyan, Jiang Chen was a little startled, letting out a hum from his nose.

Both sighed with a touch of regret. Then, the Yan Emperor asked Nie Feng to turn around, exposing his back.

Ling Feng toyed with the Black Crow intentionally, then asked, "Besides Boss Wang’s restaurant at Manhattan Square, what other operations do you have?"

"You—you can see me?" Duanhun Wushang was shocked beyond measure. He did not believe that Yuchen could distinguish him by sound alone, because when he spoke, the attack had already landed; an ordinary person would have been unable to react or dodge in time.
