Volume 1, Chapter 42: That Name Takes a Bit of an Advantage

Chen Fei walked over and saw his father and the others sitting inside the new car, though he could not hear what they were discussing.

Although the pitch-black torrents surged violently on all sides, under the control of the pristine mirror-like light, they were unable to harm anyone.

"By the way, if you are truly bored, you can go complain to the old man, but based on my understanding of him, he might not necessarily help you," Dongfang Yi said before placing Xia Wan into the passenger seat and driving away at top speed.

After a moment of confusion, Yang Han slowly remembered that she had simply come out to play with friends and that what had just happened was merely a nightmare. With this realization, she let out a long sigh of relief.

In the seat of honor, Liang Maoye looked at his wedded wife with eyes full of sorrow. He simply closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight of Lady Zhou's face, which was covered in shame and indignation.

Cao Da had been keeping Zhang Mingjie under constant surveillance. Witnessing this behavior made him curse Zhang Mingjie's ancestors for eight generations with bitter resentment.

This development shocked him even more than if his own Human Emperor Token had ended up in the hands of a complete stranger.

Teacher Chu's initial excitement subsided the very next second when he noticed the perplexed gaze of the Underworld Sovereign Yang Shanming. Qi Ling also heaved a sigh of relief.

Over these past days, through information gathered from the outside world and combined with the memories of the Evil Emperor Ming Tonghui, City Lord Zhang had gradually gained a general understanding of the world he was in.

Cao Da merely glanced indifferently in the direction of the forest, then turned his head back, paid the driver directly, and prepared to push open the car door and step out, only to be stopped by the driver once more.

Turning around, he entered the botanical garden within the wizard tower, where a large clearing had already been cleared. With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, a staff materialized. Alan tapped the ground lightly, and the previously flat earth rapidly subsided, forming a large pit.

The roar of the dragon, echoing like a category-nine typhoon, stirred up wave after wave of sound. The few people who had been preparing to make a move felt their hair stand on end involuntarily; their hearts pounded wildly against their ribs, and cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, yet no one dared to raise a hand to wipe it away.

What he said was indeed true. Had he acquired this item earlier, he wouldn't have needed to purchase a slave contract to bind the ghost child.

After what felt like an eternity, the Daoist priest finally stopped his speech-like monologue, leaving him utterly speechless and amused. However, he figured he shouldn't stoop to the level of his half-master. Regardless of everything, the man was still his half-master, so he kept his silence.

Standing nearly four meters tall, the iron golem radiated an overwhelming sense of oppression within such a narrow and dim environment. Facing those monsters—none of which exceeded two meters in height—felt just like playing whack-a-mole; a single stomp reduced one to a bloody pulp.

Shang Biao did not reply; instead, he simply tightened his embrace around the Twin Star Master, his gaze sweeping the surrounding area with a hidden scrutiny to map out an escape route for a moment later.

He was not a soldier under Old He's command, but rather a member serving under the grandfather of the Lin family, one of the five major clans, previously serving as a political instructor in a company under Elder Lin.

Yang Chong was twenty-six years old this year. He had known his wife for many years, and their marriage had naturally followed in due course.

Meanwhile, witnessing the strange phenomenon in the sky, the morale of the City of Arcane boosted significantly. Orbis, who had been standing atop the wizard tower all along, finally let out a long breath, a smile breaking across his aged face. Then, Orbis slowly turned around to face the people behind him.

Every semester after the Spring Festival, when classmates discussed their New Year lucky money, everyone else's parents would have taken it away under the fine-sounding pretext of "saving it for you first."

The two interns who had followed Song Yan watched as Qiao Nuan stood on tiptoes to kiss the young man, whereupon the young man pulled her waist closer with an overbearing motion, lowered his head, and kissed her with inseparable passion.

Ever since Gu Mingruo spoke up, Tan Ge, Shen Kuan, and other instructors from the Greater China region spoke in succession, unanimously endorsing Chu Yu for the position of team captain. A few instructors from the Japanese region also expressed support, while the others, though not explicitly stating their stance, indicated they would defer entirely to Fu Dong's arrangements.

Shi Nan made no move to stop him. On his arrogant and unruly face, those eyes at some point looked past Shi Jia and fixed themselves upon the distant darkness. His eyesight was exceptional, even in the middle of the night.

Zhang Qingzhi and her younger brother were so engrossed in conversation that they failed to notice their father had already walked up to the doorway.

The monster's hand plunged deep into Huo Xiaobing's spine and twisted savagely. The excruciating pain caused him to bite off a portion of his own tongue, but at least he survived.

The moment the enemy cannons rotated their barrels, they became sitting ducks for the Tengshe tanks. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Tengshe tanks demonstrated exceptional firing performance, firing a shot, shifting back into the disguise of a sand dune, cloaking themselves, and then firing again. With just a rapid, coordinated barrage of tank fire, the enemy artillery position was utterly decimated.

"Since I am the master of the Gun Emperor System, my blood type should be a universal one, capable of suiting all Soul Gun Warriors at critical moments," Qiu Liehuo stated, voicing his judgment.

Grover was hoisted up instantly by Chu Yu, who did not hesitate to toss him casually to the side. Grover flew through the air with a look of utter terror on his face, and then... landed not too far nor too close to the combat ring.

Su Jinyun was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head. Under the moonlight and street lamps, Fu Luoxuan's normally icy face suddenly turned exceptionally gentle. Bending down slightly to look at her, the previous frost in his eyes was gone, replaced by a gaze shimmering with brilliant starlight, reminiscent of the very first time they had met.

I walked toward the lake, where the dancing people smiled constantly and waved at me, calling for me to join them. I suddenly found it quite amusing, and just as I was about to step into the water, I felt my hand caught by a pair of delicate, gentle hands.

The wound on his arm had only been bandaged shortly before, and because of this embrace, it began to seep blood once more, yet Jiang Yan uttered not a single sound.

Shen Yan clearly disbelieved this. Previously, Ye Shen had been so resistant toward him; knowing Shen Tiantian's relationship with him, it was practically impossible that she would tutor him.

Tell them to wait a little longer. Once my factory's storefronts in the city open up, they can go and buy them themselves.
