Volume 1, Chapter 52: You Sold Her to a Vixen

He had been pursuing her for at least two months, yet Ji Cheng remained utterly unmoved, though perhaps he was a tiny bit more receptive than before.

Fortune-telling? Zhuo Xi had no interest in it. If even she could not control the future, how could anyone else calculate it with precision?

Ji Cheng felt an itch at the tip of his nose and sneezed. He wiped his nose with the back of his hand, then went to the bathroom to fetch a rag.

After thinking it over, Fang Yuan sent another message to Jin Peng, who had already reached his parents, as well as to the two Golden Core flood dragons still on their way. He told them that, while protecting their targets, they should also educate and recruit as many birds and beasts as possible for their own use.

Xu Jingyou paused, pressing her lips tightly together in hesitation. Fu Qiejing lifted his eyes and stared at her without blinking, utterly calm.

Fang Yuan chuckled. In the next instant, all four of them emerged from the spatial interlayer and appeared directly before a white-bearded old man being carried in a sedan chair.

When quitting time finally came, he went to see the manager and requested to resign one month later.

“Since Mr. Zhang is here, let’s watch it together.” Lin Yina’s cold, unfamiliar tone left Zhang Yang completely bewildered.

Shangguan Yuxiu gave her younger brother a savage beating in the middle of the street, apparently forgetting that she was in ancient times, not in the era she came from.

In other words, only after confirming that Qiqi had died and arranging her funeral would he lie down and rest eternally beside her.

Lu Benwei immediately had the driver turn the car around and head in another direction. At the same time, he furtively took out his phone and pretended to work, when in fact he was messaging the owner of the Second Month Tower.

When Gu Hongxing returned to the dormitory, he saw an oil lamp burning inside. Fang Qing was bent over the table grading the children’s assignments, while Song Xiaowei lay on the bed with her legs crossed, drowsy with sleep.

Old Peng was lame, but he had not lost his temper. That very night, after the Zheng family had opened fire on him, he called in reinforcements and blocked the entrance to Azure Waters and Cloud Skies—the place once known as Desire’s Prosperity.

After hearing her, Bukong was stunned. He thought, Could this girl’s injuries not be serious? Her voice is full of inner power. This left him in a difficult position. If he attacked, he feared he might not defeat her; if he did not, he had already boasted too boldly to back down now.

After my final two treatments, the yang-fire energy within Zhang Tianling was completely eliminated. The man was so delighted that he kept running off to Yanjing at every opportunity.

He had just sent Shen Wangchen several messages, intending to invite him to practice swordplay on the mountaintop and watch the sunrise the next day. But Shen Wangchen never replied, and Cang Qianxue sensed that something was wrong. She simply went to look for him herself.

After three consecutive slam dunks by Jing Tian University, Tiancheng Institute of Technology finally scored its first basket.

Mo Fenglie possessed a Storm Sacred Physique. If he devoured and refined it, his own Devouring Demon Physique would certainly break through to the Greater Mastery realm.

“Master, that seems a little heartless, doesn’t it? After all, he did save us.” Red Thread spoke to her master with some embarrassment.

Miaoxuan did not answer. She urged her horse onward at a gallop. Chang Shixiong watched his senior sister’s retreating figure, then glanced at Red Thread’s aggrieved expression.

“Everything you need for daily life is inside. Tell me if anything is missing.” Mihu handed the key to the young man leading the group and gave him these instructions.

Come, come—quickly paint that face. As long as there is money to be made, you can lick the fragrant backside of Ghost-Faced Heartbreak Flower.

Since the opposing team had not banned Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, the Great Demon King picked that hero. Their jungler, Bobo, chose Han Xin as well, so the two of them were the main damage dealers that round.

The thought that this faint affection might be granted another three weeks of waiting suddenly made Huaizhen happy again.

Besides, she had agreed to let Xi Che use the old woman as a shield. Uncle Wu might come looking for her one day to settle the score, so it would be safest to strike first and win his favor.

Otherwise, in his view, since Han Yu was the murderer of her father and the Luosenburg embassy abroad refused to join the alliance, there was bound to be conflict between Han Yu and her.

It seemed so strange—truly strange! And yet it did make a certain kind of sense. He had asked to marry her, she had refused, and then he ran off to cling to someone else. Did that mean the Chen family was inferior to the Yi family? Had the Yi family somehow offended the Chen family for no reason? Surely that could not be it.

When he reached Yan Xiyue’s door, he saw that her house was only one story high, while even the neighbor’s house behind hers had at least three or four floors. It was enough to show how impoverished her life was. Zhou Wusan glanced over. Though curiosity flickered in his eyes, he did not ask aloud.

The Manhattan Clock Tower had just struck ten. Huaizhen stared at the car crawling along at a snail’s pace and felt slightly worried that they would be late.

“Hahaha! Who says the aloof Movie Emperor Xiao has no sense of variety? He’s absolutely hilarious, isn’t he? The villagers of Red Leaf Village are simply too entertaining.”

With her acting skills, talent, kindness, stunning beauty, and constant dedication to learning and improving herself, anyone who came into contact with a woman like that would sooner or later become her fan.

That evening, they had expected to spend quite some effort persuading Lin Yi to agree. Unexpectedly, the moment Lin Jiu opened her mouth, Lin Yi consented.

“You don’t need to say it.” As Lin Yi spoke, he took Li Weixi by the hand and rose. The three of them went to the dining hall together.

But the members of the Li family had received the news long ago. One by one, they held their breath and guarded their spirits, not allowing themselves the slightest moment of relaxation.

“We merely stated the truth. What kind of parents must someone have to give birth to such a foolish child?” Gu Hui mocked.

The entire taxi was forcibly squeezed out of shape. The SUV continued shoving forward, its engine shrieking like a beast, slowly forcing the taxi’s body upward into a bow.

The great battle lasted ten full days. In the end, Wang Chenyin and the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick had both suffered devastating losses.

“Rare indeed. Extremely rare. There may not be another identical one in the entire world.” Qin Yan’s eyes remained fixed on the mechanism.

Afterward, Liuxing truly became a killing machine, slaughtering people as easily as chickens. Yet every time he returned from a mission, his adoptive father would happily play with him, allowing Liuxing to retain thoughts and feelings worthy of a human being.

As the five Devil Fruit users of the natural type gathered under Wang Chenyin’s command, they began transforming the waters of the Whole Cake Sea.

When she returned to the hospital room, Li Weixi had just finished speaking. She stared blankly at her father’s face, replaying Lin Jiu’s words in her mind.

“Is this enough?” Su Emei took out a cloth purse and pulled out a handful of copper coins. Perhaps afraid it would not be sufficient, she frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then added several more coins, gathered them into a large handful, and solemnly held them out to Li Ye.

“Where is he?” Xu Qingyun pressed a bodhi-wood staff against his back and released a surge of power. Manager Luo felt as though a mountain had descended upon him, crushing the air from his lungs.
