Volume 1 Chapter 35: Do You Know What Crime You Have Committed?

After Jiang Zhinian returned, she never thought of relying on anyone, nor did she say much to Xu Wenjing. "Thank you, Senior Brother, for informing me about the spices."

She sat down obediently and picked up a grape to eat. It was incredibly sweet, possessing that rich, full-bodied texture characteristic of a perfect grape.

Lu Yiyi’s discovery of the cardboard box was caught by Shen Xian’s eyes. Coupled with the look of mischief on Lu Yiyi’s face, a faint blush finally appeared on the face of the usually stern and fierce Police Officer Shen.

The deterrent effect this time was unimaginable; no one dared to delay any longer. They immediately scrambled out of bed, rushed downstairs, and ran outside to form ranks.

"This matter is of great consequence, and even I cannot speak of it lightly. I ask that the two elders refrain from further questioning," Elder Zhao said.

By the time Zhao Hao and the others arrived near the village serving as the Salt Gang’s stronghold, the four groups of men had already converged. Everyone drew their blades, poised and ready to strike at any moment.

The match between Tang Chi and Xin Lu was unfolding just like this. Once it concluded, it would be officially uploaded to the internet, further boosting Tang Chi’s popularity.

He Xize narrowed his eyes slightly, yet he still looked at Jiang Meihui with a calm and composed expression. Finding the remark difficult to answer, he picked up his tea and took a sip.

However, the opponent noticed Tang Chi’s gaze and shot a cold look back. The way they looked at her was a far cry from how they behaved when facing He Sang.

The Magic versus Cavaliers game was also held on the same day. No one could match the performance of Peak McGrady in a Christmas Day battle, and James would certainly get a good lesson; of course, James’s own performance was not bad either.

Zhao Hao carried the large satchel on his shoulder, while Zhao Fujin tugged at his clothes. The two of them walked swaggeringly back, bathed in the brilliant glow of the setting sun.

Ji Lingsheng, the mastermind of bad ideas, would not let them have their way. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Who said you could jump yourselves? If anyone dares to jump, I will immediately head downstream to intercept you, and then I’ll chop off your hands and feet to feed the wolves!" The bandits were instantly struck silent. While they were still bewildered, Ji Lingsheng lightly patted Heifeng’s neck.

What Zhan Lei produced turned out to be ten bone needles, each as thick as a finger. The needles were like glazed glass, icy blue in color, and overflowing with a chilling aura. Had Tang Yuan not explained it, Hua Jiu would never have guessed they were made of bone.

Yet he was equally aware that while there were such loyal men among his subordinates, not everyone was the same. Even among Liu Qi’s men, it was the same; not everyone would willingly lay down their lives for Liu Qi in such a way.

Hua Jiu raised her sword and charged in and out, directly unleashing her Yin-Yang Sword Qi. In an instant, she shattered the surrounding formation completely and razed all the weeds and trees nearby, leaving nothing behind for anyone to hide.

She still believed that Yun Feng had feelings for Li Qirui; after all, they were first loves. She imagined all sorts of romantic encounters between them. When she was dating Li Xiangdong, she had used every trick in the book to captivate him, leaving Li Xiangdong’s family with no choice but to agree.

Because of her fury, a whirlwind stirred within the room, lifting her wide skirts and revealing her legs, which were rooted to the ground like pillars of ice.

Xie Biqing was already prepared to risk it all. At worst, they would perish together. If you don't want me to have a good life, then don't think you'll have one either—this had always been Xie Biqing’s style. After staring at him for a while, Feng Xiao finally waved his hand.

The weather was clear and the sun was brilliant. Although the sea breeze was blocked by the surrounding mountains, the climate remained cool and pleasant.

Niu Ruitang walked in with a laugh like silver bells. Her smile was sweet and she was radiant; she was truly much more charming when she smiled than when she did not.
