Volume 1, Chapter 21: Break His Legs and Toss Him Out the Door

A-Yin had just arrived in the underground dungeon, and upon seeing the handsome dark-skinned man bound by chains exquisitely crafted from titanium alloy by Liu Qian, she could not help but knit her delicate brows.

The only thing to be wary of is not letting the Lu Army discover their movements; otherwise, a few nuclear missiles would render the Black Fierce Tiger King’s painstaking efforts all for nothing.

Lin Xiaoxiao said discontentedly. News of the Lu Army’s victory had only just arrived, and yet Lu Fan already had plans to head out for battle again.

Yet, having made this attempt, he had to admit that the idea of forcibly seizing the Eye of Agamotto had undoubtedly failed.

"What those people care about most now is not your treasures, but exactly where those twelve golden figures you cast are located," Li Shaofan remarked abruptly. Compared to trinkets like jade and pearls, those true archaeologists were far more concerned with the whereabouts of the legendary twelve golden figures.

In other words, the King of Pill Fighting would be the first to choose his rewards from the prize pool, and he would receive half of the entire pool.

Over the course of more than two full months, the border of the Two Worlds Mountain had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Sean’s breath hitched. He felt a sense of helplessness and absurdity at the sudden question from the director of S.T.R.I.K.E., who was always so rational and cold. However, meeting those emerald eyes, the anticipation and joy within them made him unable to speak, and in the end, he could only nod.

Everything was as if all the power had been gathered together under the deliberate command of its master.

In truth, he understood that even if Sixth Sister had not stepped in yesterday, Jin Changkong and the others would have eventually come to save him.

"It is closer to the sky here." He looked up at the deep blue sky, which was darkening almost to black, and dropped the remark lightly, successfully dispelling her anger.

"What do I think? Of course, I hope Ruan Qingqing faces the full extent of the law!" Xia Ziqian shielded Leng Ruhu, her tone icy.

His heart ached, whether from the pain of heartbreak or the onset of a heart ailment, he could not tell. His hand pressed against the stone table, nearly leaving an imprint of his palm.

Jiang Yan always felt guilty toward Jiang Ruyu, and thus doted on her. It reached the point where he granted her every request, which was why Jiang Ruyu remained unmarried to this day.

However, even if this misunderstanding were cleared, the monstrous sins the Qin family had committed against the Song family in the past could never be erased.

Lu An even suspected that the stones flying everywhere causing such madness were merely fragments broken off from the real object, and that the true core remained in Chun Taotao’s hands.

That night, Xiang Yu had only intended to go for a walk, but as he wandered, he realized he could no longer find his way back, having arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

Ye Yizhou was right; although the two were now husband and wife, the marriage had been an impulsive decision, and neither had confirmed if the other was truly the person they wished to spend the rest of their lives with.

At this moment, Mu Ya began to panic. Coupled with her irritation, she no longer wanted to waste words on the people before her.

"I—I am letting you go now, but you must promise not to jump, do you hear me?" Ye Yizhou slowly loosened his grip but did not pull away from Lu Jianuo, keeping his arms extended in a protective circle around her.

The moment the blue light touched my body, a violent sensation of pain and paralysis surged through me.

In Tasa’s base, Shen Tong was chatting with Tasa and Nabin. The items Nabin had brought as an apology were already at Shen Tong’s home.

Xiang Hou said, "For the people from Tiger Peace Palace to arrive at Three River Mouth and find not the commander, Pu Yancang, but the deputy commander, Tu Tianchi, is against protocol. Furthermore, arriving in secret must be related to some conspiracy. Second Brother, everyone says there are two tigers on Tiger Peace Mountain: one is the Lord of the City, and the other is you, Second Brother."

Chen Jing had been avoiding me lately. The reason was that Li Huanhuan had gone to see her, and I did not know what they had discussed, but from that day on, Chen Jing had not spoken a single word to me. I was helpless in the face of this and could only offer a greeting whenever I saw her, then walk away dejectedly.

There was no news from the Nine Divisions of the Hidden Dragon, and the underground forces of the Southern Thirteen Provinces could find no trace of the Blade Emperor or the Demon Emperor.

Ivan said, "Let’s try to go out as early as possible to scout the location, then we can make up for lost sleep when we return, alright?" Lan Yu answered decisively, already fully equipped and ready to go.

Helpless, Ivan quietly observed the patterns of Lan Yu’s strikes and dodges while Bai Jian took over the sparring.

"How could they not have come down? There hasn't been a sound!" Wang Manchun looked at her watch in annoyance. Sensing something was wrong, she immediately ordered everyone to charge up.

Shen Rui opened it and saw a fine hand of calligraphy, which he couldn't help but admire in his heart. Immediately after, he felt the tone was somewhat off, and upon seeing the signature, it was indeed simply the character "Shen."

"Very well, no need to say more. I shall take you to the Palace of the Desolate God now to hold your enthronement ceremony," Zhou Tianhuang said.

The Second Miss had never liked Yang Tian and Shen Rui. As Shen Rui was still considered an "outside man," she hid behind her wet nurse to avoid coming out to pay her respects, which was not considered overly impolite.

Cheng Qiyun’s ample hips rippled as she was patted; she let out a languid hum, lacking even the strength to protest.

"Sir, the total for the items you won at auction is eighty-six million." Mali swiped the card and was stunned when she saw the balance.
