Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Whining of a Loser, as Repulsive as a Stray Dog by the Roadside

"Are you kidding me! If I don't capture Ning Rongrong, haven't I done all this for nothing? There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must find her today!" Fang Yuan did not yield in the slightest. It wasn't just the confidence brought by his instant-kill cheat; he was also the primary hero in the eradication of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both dead by his hand, he had cleared the greatest obstacle for the Spirit Hall. Even if the Spirit Hall were to appoint him as an enshrined elder, it would be perfectly justified.

She Long, standing to the side, could no longer watch. Thinking Fang Yuan was still fixated on his base desires, he advised, "Let it go, Brother Fang Yuan. There are plenty of fish in the sea; why pine for just one..."

Niu Xuanyan said happily. However, she failed to notice the three black lines manifesting on Liu Yueyue's forehead.

It turned out that to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, one had to find the thin points in the space of the sky. These weak spots were not fixed; the spatial nodes shifted constantly.

Xiong Ge was even worse off; his palms were sweating. Even Grandpa was nervous now. Although he claimed he wanted to beat the Deadman Leader to death, they had lived together for so long, and he was the father of his three grandsons after all—how could he truly lay a hand on him?

Zhang Meihua and Zheng Dachuan had already retired. There were many people waiting to take their places, and after they became embroiled in a scandal that caused a public outcry, the authorities took the opportunity to force them into retirement.

When he was dragged out of solitary confinement like a dead dog and returned to his cell, the sight of his cellmates made his body tremble and turn to jelly.

His current inexplicable actions were likely due to his master discovering something, though he hadn't explained it to him.

"I am the boss. Is there something you need?" A Black man with a large gold chain around his neck walked over and interjected.

He was a severe sufferer of acrophobia. Forget about chasing anyone down; just standing there made his legs go weak. Consequently, he ordered the others to handcuff Zhou Su and send him to the hospital, while he took the elevator down to find his brother-in-law.

Ye Tian nodded. Although he hadn't felt it himself, Shuangshuang had, and she couldn't be wrong.

Chen Tong was filled with rage. At the thought of the sneak attack, he wanted to kill the man immediately. But if he actually did so, even as the grandson of a County Marquis, it would be difficult to justify.

The youth felt despondent, but the words of the Yi Shui Palace Master were quite reasonable. It seemed like a fated opportunity; if he hadn't been so impatient during his void travel and, on a whim, decided to teach that divine wanderer a lesson, he never would have thought to explore the depths of the sanctuary.

Zhong Lingyu's words might have seemed alarmist, but he was actually laying out all the possibilities for her. Regardless, as long as they didn't go over and wait for the time to run out, they could keep causing a ruckus if they wanted.

"It is like this, Lord Demon Beast. I have another matter that requires your cooperation. I wonder if you could..." the General hesitated.

Seeing Sa Lihe arrive was like seeing a savior, but Sa Lihe didn't even cast a glance in his direction. He had no choice but to bow and retreat.

"I'm done eating. I'm leaving now." She said these words softly and bitterly, then turned and walked away, her face covered in tears.

Guo Yong learned that Jin Wushu had retreated to Feng County and that Wu Jie's troops were blocking his path. At noon, he mobilized his entire army and surrounded Liu Kui.

The equipment they used to examine the Gulu prisoners was so advanced that it could analyze the slightest abnormality in a Gulu body within mere seconds.

Ten gold coins as a consolation prize was incredibly generous. This made me even more glad that I had participated in this competition. Otherwise, these rewards would have slipped right past me, which would have been devastating.

Before he could finish speaking, he burst into loud sobs. The other man was also streaming with tears, though he held back from making a sound.

Du Ziteng looked at the man slowly crawling up and, still feeling unsatisfied, stepped forward and kicked him twice more, though these kicks were not too forceful.

Therefore, once the other party learned that Yu Feifei was a famous jewelry brand, they were eager to obtain the agency rights. After conducting an investigation, Yu Feifei agreed to head to Ningzhou to sign the contract in person and meet them to reminisce.

The steward exaggerated the situation, making it sound much more severe than it had been, accusing them of ulterior motives.

The aroma made her mouth water. She struggled for a moment, but in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of the food and opened the door.

"What is the solution? Tell me quickly. As long as it works, I will reward you handsomely." Fan Yuanshuo looked forward to Liu Hong's idea.

Chen Huan wasn't too worried. Bai Linfeng was much smarter and more cunning than anyone imagined; he wouldn't be captured so easily.

Old Madam Huo sat in her seat, watching silently without saying a word. Xia Huan felt even more awkward; had she known it would be like this, she never would have followed Huo Qingnan here.

As an apprentice, Ah Chang was called a doctor by outsiders, but how could his mistress not know exactly what he was worth?

Lin Miao looked at him. His stubbled face held eyes that were blazing with fire. His lean body was wrapped in grey cotton clothes, cinched at the waist with a white belt.

His anger was real, but in the end, he couldn't truly resort to violence. For now, he was just saying spiteful things because he couldn't swallow his pride.

"Beriman, gather the scattered men immediately!" At this moment, Aus finally regained his usual calm and decisiveness, ordering Beriman by his side.

Zheng Heng pursed his lips tightly. The shock and anger on his face had vanished, replaced by a profound and absolute calm.

The chaos in Jiangnan Dao had been quelled, and Shi Gao had been beheaded. The Expeditionary Command had achieved great merit on this journey and was about to return to the capital in glory.

One reason was to gather news from Jiangnan Dao, and the other was to bring Pei Qian out of the region.

Sigh, I'm so envious. When will they be able to burn grain stores on a whim? It's infuriating to compare oneself to others.

However, none of this was a problem. There will always be various conflicts between people; as long as both sides can keep the big picture in mind, it will be fine.

Liu Xuan didn't feel comfortable using his divine sense to inspect this patriarch of the Gongsun clan, but the man gave him the impression of being quite formidable. Liu Xuan estimated that he was at least at the high stage of Qi Condensation; otherwise, he wouldn't have exerted such immense pressure on him, especially since he himself was now at the Qi Condensation stage.

Meng Huo treated this encounter seriously, and the two sides clashed. Though it seemed like a fleeting touch, in reality, both had used hidden force. Without sufficient cultivation, their webbing between thumb and forefinger would likely have been shattered.

The two went downstairs to meet the others. It was exactly nine o'clock. Xie Tian'ai was live-streaming on her phone, and the group got into the car and set off for Birch Forest Village.
