Chapter 56 She Made Him Addicted

The white-bearded old man stood before the cliff with his eyes slightly closed, his robes billowing high in the wind as his previously faint and elusive aura suddenly began to condense and solidify.

"Chu Xiong, I have one more matter to attend to today..." Jin Shaojun said calmly as he stepped out of the storefront, while the people behind him respectfully escorted him to the exit.

Before the words had even fully left his mouth, Zhou Yao lunged forward fiercely, sending the newly risen scar-faced man flying with a single kick.

Upon hearing this, Jin Baoshan's face instantly turned pale. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but saw Zhao Qingyun leading Zhou Yao and the others away without looking back.

That day, just as he had returned to his shop after finishing a pig-slaughtering job at a village household, he noticed a slip of paper pressed beneath a rack of pork ribs.

With her strength having reached the mid-elite tier and having mastered the high-speed movement technique, Victreebel was practically ready to soar this time.

He raised his gaze and spotted a black, antelope-like creature on the mountain cliff, staring straight back at him with a look of extreme vigilance.

Upon making inquiries the next day, he learned that all these young women had good reputations; however, Wang Feng'er from the merchant family was somewhat domineering and strong-willed, so his family did not favor her and directly crossed her off the list of choices.

Rarely seeing Nangong Qi in such high spirits, Li Nanyuan could not help casting a glance at Eunuch Jia standing outside the door.

Fortunately, I had made preparations in advance. I pulled out my flashlight, and a beam of light cut through the darkness, illuminating the hall and casting an oval-shaped halo.

Before long, Ah Zhong came upstairs. His complexion was rather pale, and his gaze carried a heavy, solemn expression.

Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, she suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Her complexion was pale, her gaze somewhat distant, and traces of dried tears still lingered at the corners of her eyes. She looked truly haggard. Then, she let out a self-deprecating laugh—why put herself through this? Shaking her head, she splashed her face with cold, clean water once more to clear her mind.

She knew he had always been cold and detached by nature, but she had not expected him to be seemingly just as indifferent toward his family. Back then, he rarely mentioned his family, and naturally, she had never asked.

Thinking along these lines, Ye Wushuang did not want to overwork herself, so she decided to simply cook a bowl of sour soup radish fish to go with rice.

"Go ahead," Qiu Wen said with a wave of her hand. This time, she was determined to cut off any possibility of the Sovereign entering the Heavenly Palace.

That poor child was, at this very moment, merely the size of a sesame seed—must it be given up just like that?

The great demon who had fallen into Chu Yunxi's hands remained silent, knowing full well that once in this person's custody, survival was virtually impossible. Since he could not live, what was the point of speaking?

Looking back at Pusheng, she thought that if she wanted to mention that Yue Qiao also had a ghost husband, she should have just said it outright. Why add that the couple rarely met and received no loving care? If what he said was true, wasn't this deliberately rubbing salt into someone's wounds?

She did not want him to look, so Jun Muchic naturally did not force the matter. He raised a hand to stroke her hair, his eyes and brows overflowing with profound tenderness.

Just wait, there are even better things to come. Once our food and wine are served, these people will finally understand what true taste and class really are.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad at all. I actually managed to drop a top-grade dagger." Jackway twirled a dagger in his hand, letting out a sound of admiration.

The people in Wangjiatun had been frightened out of their wits today, and the atmosphere had remained unusually oppressive until this very moment, when a shred of morale finally began to recover.

Meanwhile, head coach Stan Van Gundy had the starters simply go through warm-up drills on their first day back.

Zheng Nan laughed heartily. At first glance, this was clearly a terrible joke: Chu Zi was purely a "yellow" person, and someone whose existence was detrimental to harmony and damaging to social image—shouldn't such a person be dragged out and whipped a hundred times post-mortem?

By this time, Old Fan had also caught wind of the news. When he laid eyes on Li Qiang in person, he could not help but feel a mixture of astonishment and excitement. Li Qiang felt somewhat uncomfortable under the doctor's burning gaze, unable to understand why the convoy's physician was staring at him like that.

Throughout the long journey, the convoy gradually closed the distance toward Taihu Lake. At most, one more day was all they needed to reach their destination.

"What does that imply..." Ling Yong muttered to himself. By this time, the others had also leaned in closer, eager to hear what explanation he had in mind. "Could it be that this playing-card person is stronger than the other three?" Ling Yong ventured tentatively.

The entire match felt like a rigid drill rather than a genuine duel between mecha pilots, lacking those inspired, brilliantly glowing moments of spectacle.

A young man named Wen Feng was actually able to independently develop elemental techniques at such a tender age. What an extraordinary level of academic mastery! If all of this were true, it meant that a dazzling academic superstar was about to rise within the coastal city.

With his exceptional eyesight, Lin Yu could clearly see a Taoist Temple of the Three Pure Ones at the very front of the canyon, while whatever lay beyond it remained a mystery to everyone.

Chaos had engulfed Isla Nublar, leaving no one to feed the Mosasaurus. When it finally seized the opportunity to hunt down a large prey, that prey was instantly reduced to the status of a mere ant.

When Infinite Freezing was combined with the venomous sting of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, once Karl Jelin was struck by it, death would be the only guaranteed outcome. Tang Feng knew this clearly, and Karl Jelin knew it in his heart as well.

The angel lay flat on the ground, weeping as she watched the vicious wolf, beaten beyond human recognition, understanding in her heart that the wolf had deliberately provoked those men to divert their attention and save her.

For this Tang Feng to have advanced his cultivation to the Bitter Sea realm at such a young age meant he must have absorbed ancient inheritances from the ten great secret realms, and his immortal egg had surely hatched; otherwise, his physical constitution and power could not possibly be this formidable.

Du Weiwei said sincerely, knowing that as long as the club president accompanied her to Azure Dragon Pool and witnessed the boundless expanse of ice, he would undoubtedly believe her words.

Rather, it was an abstruse and unfathomable qi-refining divine ability, far superior to ordinary avatar techniques.
