Chapter 56

Ning Qing finally understood. Although he usually disliked others discussing him, for some reason, he did not feel annoyed by the boss's words. He just smiled and remained silent.

"I'm going to kill you, bitch!" Du Ruofei roared as she lunged toward me. At that exact moment, I heard Qiu Feng's voice shouting, "Stop!" Immediately, an elegant figure dashed like an arrow to block my path.

Xu Qing certainly wouldn't let him succeed. With a twist of his wrist, his short sword transitioned from a vertical chop to a diagonal parry, its blade colliding precisely with the scalpel. *Clang!* The scalpel was snapped in two, and with a flash of sword light, the blade slashed toward his opponent's throat.

Su chuckled softly, looking immensely pleased with himself. In just three months, he had shot up by three finger-widths. As his body grew taller, his impossibly delicate face finally gained a hint of handsome maturity, carrying the faint shadow of a young man. This made Su extremely happy, and he would run to the well to admire his reflection five or six times a day.

Deep down, I knew her experiences here must have been deeply traumatic, but I genuinely had no idea how we ended up back here. Whose dream was it this time? Lei Fang's, perhaps?

After discussing it with Old Man Wang for a while, they still felt it was best to let nature take its course. After all, impulse couldn't solve a problem like this. He went home to sleep, and the night passed in silence.

Several men of Chu turned pale with anger. Several times they prepared to urge their boats forward, only to be held back by those beside them.

Xue Lengyu told herself she had never intended to harm him, and that her momentary outburst was just the result of being consumed by rage. But reflecting on it now, could it be that she could not even grant him this shred of trust?

With his hands clasped behind his back, Xu Qing used his Vision Eyes to carefully scan the wooden crates filled with gold. The gold inside gleamed with a dazzling brilliance; the vast majority of it was genuine. A quantity of gold worth ten billion was quite substantial, which also increased the difficulty of the scan, requiring considerably more time than other items.

Just as Xu Qing's mind was wandering, Yang Jing emerged from the side room. Approaching the table, she gently placed the golden Gu worm from her palm onto the tabletop. The little bug seemed reluctant to leave its master's hand, lifting its head and fluttering its wings as if preparing to take flight.

Fu Shihuan realized she had fallen into a trap. Li Dahu's rough exterior had一度 led her to mistakenly believe that the man before her was nothing more than a brute of a mountain bandit chieftain. She had calculated far too poorly.

The elderly man in purple smiled bitterly and shook his head. Exchanging glances with a few other elders, he turned and walked inward.

Although he had never seen the secret manual and did not know how their ancestors described the fiend, he knew for certain it was nothing like what Elder Zuofo had claimed.

Just as Bai Bing was racking her brains, unable to think of any way to reverse the current situation, the phone on her desk suddenly rang.

Fang Han realized that the entity Tai Motian and the others had been staring at all this time was actually a massive barrier.

The other members of the Tang family could only look at the five invitations belonging to Tang Mengzhu's family with bloodshot eyes, consumed by envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Sitting together with a reclusive master was naturally a joyous occasion, and the people at the same table welcomed him warmly.

Taking a bite of a steamed bun dipped in soy sauce and Sichuan peppercorn oil, followed by a sip of thick white rice porridge, Chu Nanxiang let out a full burp after finishing just one bun.

As Wu Hao's voice trailed off, another roar of engines echoed through the air as several more cars sped over and parked all around.

With a muffled explosion, waves of blood mist surged outward from within, and any trace of Fang Han's aura vanished entirely.

As a unfathomably powerful senior mage and sage, Felicia admired him from the bottom of her heart.

Eliminating interference factors and further optimizing the treatment procedure, Chen Yuan conducted his final experiment three days later. This time, Chen Yuan utilized all eleven remaining eggs.

This A-Fu was clever and sweet-tongued, winning the deep trust and favor of Chen Qigao, who often allowed him into the inner chambers to await commands.

Because there was no strict rule about remaining silent during meals, the family was accustomed to discussing matters while eating. As they ate, Li Yunbo began talking things over with Shen Xingnan.

Honey traps were generally ineffective against male Admirals because shipgirls were, by standard, beauties. Therefore, unless it was an Admiral who had never managed to romance any shipgirls, nobody else would likely fall for such a honey trap!

Just as Eilíne had instructed, Li Huanmu and the other cadets successively guided their respective shipgirls into a state of mental synchronization.

With a thunderous crash, the Immortal Lord's nascent soul was blasted directly out of his crown. Su Xia lashed out with her whip, striking the Immortal Lord's nascent soul and splitting it in two. She withdrew her whip, which still carried a wisp of immortal energy.

"Although it ended up being useless, business is business. Recuperation is paramount right now," the director said.

In the first-floor room used for storing athletic equipment, Rodney dumped the large bag of resource crystals onto a ping-pong table.

A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. Junior Sister Qian had left the sect several years ago, claiming she was going on a journey to the northern polar regions. Why would she appear in a place like this right at the moment Daoist Minghe perished?

Shi Xiaofeng kicked one of his trusted subordinates away, and immediately another dozen men swarmed around him. He brandished his dagger and brought down several of them, but the enemies kept multiplying. He felt a secret jolt of alarm; not only could he no longer kill Meng Zhan, but he couldn't even extricate himself.

"Please!" Irina said politely to Li Litian, before taking a seat on the carpet spread out inside the pavilion.

Yecai looked around. He should still be inside the cave, but this time he must be closer to the exit, because soil appeared here instead of solid rock.

"Are you trying to turn him?" Cheng Jingyun asked, somewhat surprised. She now understood the crucial reason why Uncle Li had suddenly summoned her.

Jiang Yuyan looked into Yecai's eyes. Although the statement was phrased as a supposition, his tone was certain.

Shi Xiaofeng cursed his ill fortune inwardly: Why hadn't the Heavenly Bead Divine Water protected him this time? He strained his hands, trying to snap the ropes, but his arms felt limp and devoid of any strength.
