Volume 1, Chapter 51: Love Triangle

Gao Yang seemed to have absolute control over his subordinates, easily winding them around his finger, which was why he acted so arbitrarily and recklessly with them. Yet every single one of these fellows was utterly obedient and jumped at his every command. It appeared they usually received plenty of favors and benefits from Gao Yang; otherwise, how could they possibly be so subservient to him?

Clearly, in the midst of their kiss, the two of them tasted each other, lingering with flavors that had not yet faded since their meal.

The moment it touched Xu Wen's body, the Netherworld Finger transformed from illusory to corporeal, unleashing an eerie and murderous intent.

The raft drifted aimlessly with the wind across the boundless ocean. The scorching sun and intense heat subjected Fang Guohuan and Luo Kun to unbearable torment from thirst. The single jar of fresh water had already been drained by Fang Guohuan, and they had been entirely without water for three days.

Lost in thought, Sorga casually picked up the scales and decisively said, "Take me there immediately. This time, I will explore the ghost ship myself!" With those words, Sorga strode out of the cabin.

"Father, Big Brother is still waiting," Xuan'er said, feeling a pang of sympathy for Zhan Zhao when she saw him still kneeling there.

Everyone shared a single thought: regardless of what this phenomenon signified, it revealed the hidden location of the supreme secret treasury.

However, Hu Qiang had forgotten that the road midway to the city had not yet been fully paved. Once the vehicle turned off the main highway, it bounced violently all the way, waking him from his slumber with the intense shaking long before he could fall into a deep sleep.

With the night passing uneventfully, the next morning arrived. Hu Qiang climbed out of bed early, washed up, and while his parents were still asleep, sneaked quietly out of the house. He first headed to a nearby breakfast stall to have some steamed buns with mung bean porridge, and then hurried toward the place where Fan Dacheng lived.

The lingering obsession attached to his soul, upon reflection, must have been left by the purple-robed, golden-armored man inside the coffin on the island—namely, his second senior brother! And his second senior brother had naturally perished before him; otherwise, there would have been no occasion for him to mourn over his death.

Qi Qi stepped forward, watching Jiang Wan look her over with eyes full of maternal tenderness, and returned a gentle smile... as if completely unaware that, in their eyes, she might just be a substitute.

"Reporting..." A Xudu guard hurriedly ran into Man Chong's office and handed a confidential order to Man Chong.

Muller's goal was confirmed after the match. At the time, Mandzukic was in an offside position when he received the ball and assisted Muller, but the referee simply failed to notice.

After the alliance banquet, Zi Zhi returned alone to the empty and spacious hall, where only a few oil lamps flickered with a crackling sound. The events of the day replayed in his mind like a movie. Zi Zhi tightly grasped the treasured sword in his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the lofty throne high above.

At that moment, an evening breeze drifted gently by, carrying the refreshing fragrance of pine forests and blossoms, uplifting the spirit. The further they went up the mountain, the stronger the mountain breeze became; halfway up, the wind was already sweeping fiercely. In the deep valley, layer upon layer of pine forests were dyed a vibrant green, and under the caress of the mountain wind, the pine waves roared, sending a serene coolness washing over them.

Hearing Su Yi's anxious calls echoing in his ears, he was unable to make any response. At that moment, the "lake water" within his sea of consciousness churned relentlessly. Xiao Youran felt the world spinning and a splitting headache as he collapsed limply into her arms.

"The former King of Qi has indeed passed away, but Tian Fazhang, the son of King Min of Qi, has now succeeded as the King of Qi in Jucheng, and has bestowed upon Tian Dan the title of Supreme General," Lu Zhonglian said with a smile, as if he had not caught the sarcasm in Kong Jie's words.

Zhang Yang knew the system was deeply disappointed in him, but he didn't care much himself. He still had plenty of bad-luck points left, and the money he had was enough to spend. Having been plagued by bad luck for over twenty years, it was about time his luck turned around.

"I'm just an ordinary person," Zhang Yang insisted stubbornly. Anyway, he was just an ordinary person, and since they were a special government department, that should have nothing to do with him, right?

However, this terrifying pulling force also dragged Yun Hao closer and closer to the center of the sandstorm.

Perhaps because the distance was a bit far—about ten meters apart—despite my best efforts, I still couldn't make out what she was saying.

After a long voyage, the ship finally docked, but the scene that greeted them upon landing truly astonished several of them.

Without giving other orders, Ying Buyi simply had the newly arrived Group B stay put, while Group A and Group B from his own batch, along with the newly arrived Group A, gathered their weapons and rushed to the eastern city wall of Kunyu City to stand by.

To say the least, he had at least managed to stir Liu Yunxi's heart; this realm of a devoted lapdog truly forced him to yield in admiration.

After the surgery, President Wang woke up to find himself in a hospital bed, with an employee guarding him nearby.

The previously unclear situation plunged even deeper into a fog of mystery. With no other options at the moment, Li Ang could only take things one step at a time and see how they unfolded.

So I couldn't be bothered to ask anymore. Once my strength had recovered, I put on my clothes, simply tied my hair into a scorpion braid, and walked out.

Ying Buyi listened most to Ying Fu, so without wasting words, he went to settle Jiang Baifei. Once he was properly settled, he went to report that everyone was safe to Ying Mo and the other junior uncles before returning to the martial arts arena to find Ying Fu.

Hearing this, Lu Yun turned and walked away. He headed toward You Yu and the other. Over the past few days, the vanguard of the Dragon Clan had not approached the city, but the ramparts were currently extremely busy as master craftsmen frantically repaired the fortifications.

To my surprise, this time he merely smiled, moved his chair a little closer to mine, and sat down.

Bai Qiong did not show any particular emotion about this, perhaps due to her own status. However, an incident that followed instantly made her expression change.

A little while later, the rest of the people arrived one by one. Once everyone was present, the lecture began.

"So, the question is, why did the Witch-Demon clan choose you as their chieftain?" Yu Jie asked with some curiosity.

When I woke up the next day, I felt utterly exhausted, as if I hadn't closed my eyes for several days. My entire body felt so heavy that even the slightest movement took a great deal of effort.

Just now, it was unclear where Jade Brilliance God had come from, nor how much of the conversation between Yingning and me he might have overheard.

With the illusions gone from his surroundings, Zhang Linzhong did not hesitate for a second. He immediately channeled the power of wind and lightning into his body and burst out like a storm from the world of countless hair-strands.

Lin Yi over there had already climbed ashore. Waiting until she vomited out the water from her lungs, she finally recovered from the shock, remembering both her previous unsightly state and Gu Gu, who had deliberately dragged her down. For a moment, her eyes turned bloodred with rage.
