23 The Function of the Strange Pearl!

Duan Chong pondered for a moment: "What are the conditions?" Duan Chong had never been one to believe in things like pies falling from the sky.

A single Blood Demon had nearly finished me off; who could say there weren't existences in this world even more powerful than a Blood Demon? Be they human or monster?

The reconnaissance unit took nearly a day to clarify the situation in Jingdezhen. From here to Jiujiang, Jingdezhen was a necessary transit point that could not be bypassed. However, the Japanese army had left only an infantry squadron and a transport battalion there, clearly treating Jingdezhen as a forward supply base.

Duan Chong thought for a moment: "To the north!" Duan Chong was not traveling under the identity of a Prince of Dali this time, and since Southern Liang and Northern Liang were essentially one, the scholars of this world had no real conflicts of interest.

The Violent Monkey let out a roar, firing an Earth-Element projectile at the Black Ice Bone Snake. The snake launched an ice arrow from its mouth, and the two magical beasts began the most primal form of combat.

The ice queen looked up at me, clearly dissatisfied with my tyranny, but unable to protest, she had no choice but to submit obediently.

Bradley said, "Tell you what, considering how much you love her, I happen to need a guard for my estate. If you are willing to indenture yourself for ten years, I agree to save her."

"Heh, you really know how to make ends meet!" I remarked, though I wasn't sure if that counted as a compliment.

Just as the Zhang brothers were discussing how to deal with Fatty Ma, Zhuo Nan, Lei Tian, and Fatty Ma had already arrived at his hot spring center. By this time, the center had stopped accepting outside customers, and nearly a hundred thugs recruited by Fatty Ma from the streets had gathered there to protect him.

"Hey, if you don't get up now, I'm going out to find Sister Luo. When that happens, you won't have a job here anymore. Do you believe me?" Seeing that the soft approach wouldn't work, Zhuo Nan had to play hardball.

After a long while, Mia ran over with a smile, the bottle in her hand filled with fireflies, casting a faint blue glow.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Feng Wushuang roared selflessly, her amber eyes gradually turning blood-red.

She loved him; from the moment she first saw him, she felt he was the only man worthy of her.

After all, compared to the roaring, weeping, sorrow, and despair of that day, this Xue Mingzhu before her was far more pleasant to be around.

Han Xiao recalled the incident where he had been struck, and without mercy, he swung his palm at Qingyan. The blow was so forceful that it sent her sprawling to the ground.

I was busy trying to phrase my words in a way that would reflect my breeding, but Xue Yinruo had already begun to clamor.

"I've come this time to ask you to answer a few questions, Brother Chen!" Zhao Changsheng used the term 'brother' first, clearly wanting to bridge the distance and avoid any tension between them.

The Daoist of the Northern Profound Domain knew that Duan Fei was still holding back in the formations he was teaching. After all, the Mo Tian Peak disciples had a limited capacity for absorption; if he used formations that were too profound, it would only cause them to lose their footing.

Ruan Meng bit into Marco Polo’s shoulder, biting deep until she drew blood; feeling a pang of heartache, she licked the crescent-shaped wound.

Xu Siyuan paused, surprised that Xue Mingrui had come again. Didn't he have matters to attend to?

Others were desperately trying to avoid the Bone-Eroding Dragon to find treasures, but he was doing the exact opposite, actually treating the Bone-Eroding Dragon as his prey.

"That monster? What exactly is it?" Calvit stared into Ye Huan’s eyes, unable to refrain from asking.

Although the experience gained from a single soldier was minimal, the total amount accumulated from their numbers was quite considerable.

It was truly disgusting to see a giant several meters tall acting shy here, but fortunately, he finally boarded the elevator and headed for the sixth basement level.

Fire Soul Orbs were most common in the lava crust because, within the magma, there were stones that could absorb fire sources, which, after being tempered over time, formed beads containing the essence of fire.

Actually, I don't know why I possess this sword-sheathing technique; it feels as if it had existed in my mind all along, and executing it was as natural as water flowing into a channel.

Having said that, the fellow didn't give me a moment to react; with a gust of ghostly wind, he vanished into the floor like Earth Traveler Sun.

"Very well! Then we shall meet again at the Immortal Sword Sect." Zhang Ruoxu bowed with cupped hands, and the two shared a smile, everything understood without needing further words.

Ye Feng was quite confident in his escape speed, though of course, that was before he had seen just how terrifying this ancient monster of the Earth Immortal stage truly was.

Birth is death; in bringing forth new life, one also brings about one's own demise... The words left by Lagus left Ye Huan lost in thought... If this truly were his future, what kind of future would it be?

Cao Song shed old tears. At his age, the death of a mother could be considered a joyous occasion, provided she passed away in her sleep without illness or suffering. But it seemed that whether it was Cao Teng or Madam Wu, both had to endure great torment before they died.

The Yellow River carp was a delicacy among fish, and when grilled with spices brought from the Western Regions, the skin turned a charred, slightly curled golden brown. The torn white, thick meat, combined with the fragrant spices and the subtle sweetness of the fresh fish, was truly delicious.

As the saying goes... illness strikes like a collapsing mountain. Even a soldier with nerves of steel like Xia Zhongcheng could not escape such a "nightmare."

Liu Aixi was simply flattered... Most parents in the world were like this; once they heard others affirming their children, there was no telling how wonderful they felt inside.

After finishing, someone stepped forward to put shackles on Wu Yue that would isolate his spiritual pressure, then left the cell and walked down the corridor, gradually fading into the distance.

It was cruel, but legitimate sons, concubine-born sons, and slave-born sons were strictly stratified in the Cao family. Low-ranking concubines and slave-born children found it difficult even to catch a glimpse of the legitimate Cao Cao or Cao Sheng.

Number 1 meant being the first to appear, and in any competition, going first was never a good thing.

However, he wouldn't ask his sister for it; they were moving to the city soon. It would certainly cost a lot of money, and saving where they could was Grandma Ye’s favorite saying.
