23 Braised Chicken

“Huh!?” Lin Ai was instantly stunned. Big Sis, aren’t you the ruler of Earth now!? After all these years, are you telling me you only met such a huge Judas today!?

I believe only the higher-ups and those who have been paying attention to Atosi would know the two details I mentioned. Those details were enough to make him understand that I truly was the one who had killed Atosi—and to let him know that, if I wished, I possessed the ability to kill him as well and still escape unpunished.

Just how old was Ling Hao this year? And he was a cultivator at that. It was said that a cultivator’s techniques could truly grant a person eternal youth and longevity. What kind of realm would he eventually reach…? The mere thought made Situ Shu’s heart tremble violently.

A Starlight-level figure was certainly extraordinary, but on the scale of an empire, Starlight-level experts could only be regarded as the most elite members of the privileged class.

During religious ceremonies, one would often see oil-paper umbrellas held above the sacred sedan as shelter. This symbolized fulfillment and completeness, while also representing protection from the sun and rain and the expulsion of evil spirits.

Just then, a commotion came from the distance. The three fat men listened carefully, and their spirits immediately lifted. They scrambled to their feet, dusted off their backsides, and charged toward the noise.

The Dynasty nodded. There were, in fact, many suspicious points about this village and that old man. They had not noticed them at first, but once Shen Shi reminded them, they quickly understood.

His talent was not poor. The Solar Scripture and the Sacred Canon of the Underworld could indeed improve his constitution, but even the combination of those two factors was not enough to allow him to cultivate comprehensive combat techniques to the elementary level within twenty days.

With a resounding boom, the instrument, bolted firmly to the floor, was knocked into the air by Ye Tian’s punch. The force was so tremendous that the impact zone shattered outright, scattering the machine’s components across the ground.

As Xu Wuyou and the others approached, a cultivator from the Nine-Curve Alliance immediately came forward to greet them. The man leading the group was a cultivator at the Ninth Step of the Void God Realm, who clasped his fists toward Mo Yi and the others.

The soul beasts here were terrifying as well. The closer one got to the center of the forest, the stronger and more horrifying the soul beasts became.

A seething hatred rose in Liu Qingqing’s heart. Gu Xianhe—how could he dare commit such a filthy act? How could he? How could he ever face Qianxun again, or face himself?

Dugu Zhan’s eyes widened. Zhao Wuji had effortlessly smashed through the Skeleton Elites and Skeleton Mages, racing straight toward Dugu Zhan.

The divine position inherited by Bibi Dong was known as Rakshasa, a First-Class God among the deities of darkness. As the God of Evil Thoughts, Rakshasa governed wicked desires and commanded the most sinister power, mutually restraining the God of Asura, who presided over slaughter.

The other reason was that, deep within Tang Chen’s heart, he had always been passionately in love with Poseisi. Before leaving, he had even sworn that he would not return until he had become a god.

At the forehead of the armor, a black-and-red rhinoceros horn also condensed and hardened, its tip radiating a dark glow. It was the rhinoceros’s signature offensive weapon.

Yet all that followed were two clangs. The claws merely tore through his leather clothing and lightly scratched the surface of his ashen-gray skin. The talons caught against his bones and could not penetrate even another centimeter, as though he possessed a body of steel and iron. He was actually harder than the bulletproof plating of an armored vehicle!?

Could that girl not see his calls and messages? Why had she not contacted him? What had happened? How could she simply ignore him?

As Nightshadow felt Gu Yun’s warm and powerful palm, her heart trembled faintly, and her gaze grew even more resolute.

Chu Yunfei was filled with unwillingness. He could not understand why Lin Tian, with his status, would agree to help the Yun family and take part in the martial arts tournament on their behalf.

“No! I want you to invest, and I’ll handle the operation! We’ll split the profits afterward! Our family is poor—we have no money!” Dong Ling spoke with complete frankness.

He absolutely had to take it back and lock it in the safe in the basement… No, first he ought to carry it out and show it off for a while, then lock it away.

She naturally recognized it as Gu Meiren’s phone, but why had Gu Meiren handed it to her? It was not as if she did not have a phone of her own.

Especially when he thought that Gu Yucheng would be leaving before long—no, that was not right—he felt as though he had lost something important.

Under the silent, expectant gazes of everyone around her, all waiting to be fed another spoonful of romantic sweetness, An Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were brimming with tears, suddenly had a thought drift through her mind.

“There’s a large bar over there. Brace the door with it!” Mu Chonghao looked extremely grim and weakly gave another order.

Although Zhou You had retired by then, he still deeply missed the comrades with whom he had once fought side by side. Now that he was no longer there, if those companions encountered danger, there would be no time for anyone to rescue them.

Zhang, once an immensely influential helmsman, had gone mad. Inside the glass enclosure, he screamed and howled, his voice hoarse, but unfortunately not a sound could be heard outside.

Lin Xian’er and Jiang Dandan had actually risen early this time. They were already seated at the dining table, eating.

“Brute, what’s wrong?” Autumn Night’s voice pulled me back to reality from my memories of the past.

It seemed that Rainy Night Morning Mist had noticed us long ago. Since he had seen that we did not charge forward and attack, it would have been inappropriate for him to intervene, which had led to the current situation. I secretly congratulated myself for stopping Chen Feng earlier; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“I want to eat lobster. Is that okay?” Nian Shuyan smiled with a childlike innocence. When she smiled, the dark clouds covering her face vanished completely, giving one the feeling of clear skies after rain.

“Mother—” The moment she saw Madam Lü, Lü Xiang’er could not help running toward her. As she ran, her nose began to sting, and before she realized it, her eyes had filled with sparkling tears that slowly spilled over.

Whether or not it was because of Chaoxia’s words, Zhao Chengmin never came to the Lü household again after that day, nor did he send Chaoxia any further news. Afterward, Chaoxia behaved as though nothing had happened. Every day, she either accompanied Lü Xiang’er in making her wedding dress or shaved ice in the courtyard.

Perhaps he had discovered some unknown source of wealth… That was the only explanation that made sense. Although Xiong Tingbi was later hailed as one of the Three Great Heroes of Liaodong, the Three Great Heroes of Liaodong were still human, not immortals. They, too, had to abide by the rules of worldly affairs, and there were even some difficulties they could not overcome.

With his innate speed, Tianyuan could have dodged Kong Nu’s punch. But doing so would have required him to withdraw his own fist. Seeing that Kong Nu had clearly decided to meet him head-on, he simply chose to answer in kind. His fist continued forward without slowing, while he thrust out his chest forcefully, concentrating his Tianyuan power upon it.
