Volume One, Chapter 35: Is One Man Not Enough for Yun Jinhua?

"My Lord, a guest visited the Marquis of Wu'an's estate this afternoon and stayed for about an hour. When Yun Jinhua came out to see the guest off, the two of them stood at the gate talking for quite a while."

The man Su Ziwen had sent to monitor Yun Jinhua returned to report.

"Hard work pays off; the little harlot really couldn't bear the loneliness. Was that man wearing a bright red robe, looking all bewitching and dissolute? They were flirting and clinging to each other right at the gate—it’s absolutely shameless."

Su Ziwen had already conjured up countless sordid images in his mind, feeling an ever-increasing disdain for Yun Jinhua. No wonder Lu Mingxuan had given away Taoran Residence without a second thought; so, that was why...

Chen Wei was about to check his phone when he suddenly remembered it had run out of battery yesterday. Resigned, he could only rely on his memory to provide a rough estimate.

Li Wu also believed that Bai Bu had no idea. Sitting by the water, he suddenly felt like crying; the waters of this world were far too deep.

After resting for a few days in the area of Hangu Pass, as it was known in later generations, Gu Fang and Sun Jian began their slow journey once more. This time, Gu Fang’s destination was the mythical Mount Kunlun.

Yet, fearing that Chen Mo would be dissatisfied with her performance, she looked up at him nervously, as if terrified he might utter words like "still far from good enough."

Even if they crossed the river, they would have to stay at an inn; there were no trains tonight, and they would have to wait until tomorrow for the next train heading south.

This Liuyi Demon Immortal had actually unleashed so many demons; a rough count showed at least several dozen.

Over these past few days, he had redoubled his efforts, and the grotto-heaven had taken on a brand-new look, as if an entirely new world had been added to it.

"I’m very familiar with this place, so they don't need to host us. I expect you’re an expert in this regard, Hammer," Yan Bing said with a smile.

Just as Yu Manrou arrived at the entrance of the Duke's mansion, she saw her own carriage parked there and immediately realized that her father was about to go out.

Mu Siyan became cautious. She had planned to blow off some steam at the amusement park that afternoon, but the step before the amusement park was to go on a shopping spree at the big mall. Could this sudden invitation have some hidden motive?

His meaning was clear. Wen Liang swallowed hard, tilted her head back, and took a deep breath, telling herself that she absolutely could not lose her temper now.

Wu Hengdong and Boss Zhou felt fortunate that they hadn't partnered up in the gamble; otherwise, they would have been the ones losing money. Though they felt relieved, they weren't gloating; watching Ai Feng lose money still pained them a little.

After the manager finished shouting, he ran over, trembling, and stood beside Luo Qingyu, bowing his head and not daring to speak, leaving Luo Qingyu to continue slapping Zhang Lanxin across the face.

"Target reached, open the flap," said the officer on the first hot air balloon, before signaling with flags.

The Void Reaper remained silent, merely employing his teleportation-like skill once more in an attempt to escape Liu Jiao’s attack range. This time, however, Liu Jiao gave him no chance to act; water arrows followed him like shadows, raining down upon him.

Li Gang did not pursue him this time, instead unleashing a barrage of light blades that slammed down onto the Poison Man.

The Awakened Beast was no pushover. As the gap in the thundercloud repaired itself, a bolt of lightning struck directly at Li Gang as he was about to give chase.

Hui Hui mentioned the blades, and only then did the members of the Red Gate Group realize that not only her blade, but everyone else's had not been brought back to the White Room, including the divine blades obtained by Aizi and the others.

"Report to the Commander: the Xia army is currently marching toward Xiangyang, with no signs of moving further south," the Song general reported to Wang Kai.

Because one of their parents had already passed away and the other had abandoned them many years ago—a truly wicked person not worth acknowledging—and their grandmother had been arranged by Gu Chen to receive treatment abroad, they decided that once Gu Chen’s health improved, they would find a time to visit her together.

"Wait, how do we know what you're saying is true?" The thin-faced man, intrigued by the mention of treasure, leaned in closer.

"The base has a black market where you can exchange and trade. You’ve seen the black-hearted prices on the second floor, but in the black market, the exchange rates are much fairer," the young man said, pointing toward the southeast as he walked.

Such purely mechanical devices, while lacking the mysterious depth of formation arts, were still quite rare.

Bai Yi chimed in, adding, "If you weren't still somewhat decent-looking, I wouldn't have brought you along," her tone matter-of-fact.

Seeing the Thunder-Calling Bead truly orbiting around him at his will, Feng Hua was instantly delighted.

While Bai Yi was still pondering how it had been done, Bai Ling pulled her toward the truck without a word, cleaning the grazed bruises on her skin with an alcohol swab.

The Origin Qi inside an Origin Crystal is indeed invisible to a cultivator before they touch upon the secrets of the Refining Void Realm; in this, even Ye Feng was no exception.

His arm blurred into a line, and the alloy shield, the Honeycomb Shield, slammed the Wolf King to the ground in an instant.

Once the Dragon Clan leader was dead, he would simply install a puppet as the new leader, and the entire Dragon Clan would have no choice but to submit.

They had sent the experimental semi-finished products to the Fourth Ring for rearing, perhaps to observe them further, or perhaps because it was easier to dispose of the corpses there.

Coming closer, Bai Fei confirmed the allegiance of Dudu Flower and Gray Squeak: they were allies. She knew at a glance that these two were of the rat tribe, old acquaintances she had seen in the opening CG—members of that Guinea Pig Secret Service team. True to their names, Dudu Flower was a tri-colored, scruffy guinea pig, while Gray Squeak was pure gray.

Pei Bo was struck by lingering fear. As an Earth deity, he naturally knew that dragons could breathe fire. It was fortunate he had been cautious; when Yun Ming’s work was sent into the Imperial Palace, he had withdrawn the static kinetic energy he had imbued into the paper dragon.

On the platform atop the iceberg, four pillars of fire shot into the sky, and the iceberg began to expand slowly under the influence of the internal energy.

Judging by the outcome, the disciples of the two sects had fought against overwhelming odds, taking the elite imperial troops—who outnumbered them several times over—down with them; it was certainly a result that could be called "not a loss." But from the perspective of the two sect leaders, the taste of being left in command of nothing but ghosts was not pleasant.

Given Su Qian’s passion for her work, how could she have submitted her manuscript late? They had had two full days from the end of their interview to the deadline.

Then the phone screen suddenly went black, and a blue starlight streaked across the sky, transforming into a meteor shower that fell toward the earth.

"Still, the tens of billions your family has accumulated over the years are enough for you to squander," Yun Ming said with a look of envy.

Wu De saw his chance and locked his target onto the weakest one, Li Suyu. Feigning a flaw in his defense, he flew rapidly in front of her and kicked her to the ground. "Ugh!" Li Suyu clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of filthy blood.

Lin Yu couldn't help but look out the window, feeling a sense of emotion; this was only the first day, and the days ahead would be long.
