Chapter 48

At the moment their skin touched, Huazhao clearly stiffened, and then unceremoniously pushed him away.

"Alright, alright, stop pushing, I'll go out myself." Chen Kuang walked out with a wry smile. Just now, he seemed to catch a hint of a burning smell; it looked like there would be trouble this morning.

Moving any further ahead would risk exposure by the rogue soldiers stationed in Houzhai Town. We did not dare to continue getting closer, so we could only hide the horses in the woods. Luohan and Yajin had me hide with the horses while the two of them walked ahead to infiltrate Houzhai Town, scouting out the situation to see if Xingxing had indeed entered the town.

"It was fourteen hundred thousand last month, how did it suddenly jump by more than twenty thousand in the blink of an eye?" That fifth-tier divine realm expert bared his teeth, entirely lacking the bearing of a master.

If it were an ordinary master, even a Saint Immortal, their spiritual consciousness would have been shattered directly by this will, resulting in either becoming an idiot or death.

He Danggui smiled as she pocketed the money pouch, repeating the innkeeper's words verbatim: "Many thanks, miss, may fortune favor you, safe journey!" She even imitated the tone to perfection.

"With the black stones in this game of Go, do you have sufficient confidence to oppose the 'white'?" The youth still seemed unwilling to let Chen Kuang off, demanding to know the specific situation.

"Cool girl, do you hate me?" Feng Yiyang moved his hand slightly, as if wiping away a nonexistent trace of blood. Such a deliberate action made Wanqiliang deeply suspicious of its meaning.

Moreover, the Undefeated Party was extremely well-informed about the people around him; aside from Duan Shaoyang and Chai Le, no one else was qualified to join the Undefeated Party.

However, watching this chain stretch endlessly away from the freak's feet, the chain itself was clearly of top-grade celestial artifact quality.

"Get lost!" Upon seeing him, Michael was overcome with anger as well, raising his fist to strike him too.

"Sister Lan, you're back. Do you know how much I've missed you? Don't leave again, please don't leave me, I beg you, don't leave me," Zhan Zhao murmured.

Although he had already guessed that Xiao Ran's strength was terrifyingly high—even though he wasn't on the Dragon Ascension List, his power definitely belonged on it—he never expected Xiao Ran to be this horrific, to the extent that Shi Fangyuan, ranked twelfth on the Dragon Ascension List, was so utterly feeble before him.

In just a few breaths' time, Xu Wen had already charged into the center of the heavy killing formations. He only needed to shatter seven or eight of them to break out of confinement.

"I don't want to make wedding dresses for others in the end." Miao Ruolan had nothing to hide in front of Zhan Zhao. In the past, she hadn't said anything because she was afraid her background was too shocking and Zhan Zhao wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Could you please open the door?" Although the voice outside was exceedingly warm, it still failed to conceal a palpable intent to kill.

Approaching closely, although Lord Bao was startled for a moment, the etiquette instilled in him over many years made him naturally drop to his knees.

Bai Yu felt that because someone had hugged her recently, Little Cat had already issued an early warning yesterday.

"Rest assured, Cult Master, your subordinates have arranged everything properly and will not delay the affairs of the cult." Zhan Ruowan said respectfully.

Even if she poured out her heart and soul, even if her love for Luoyin Chen could move everyone and the whole world, the one thing she could never move was a man who did not love her.

The two of them were completely engrossed, failing to notice Yin's lips trembling as she closed her eyes. Her entire face was flushed red, the blush spreading down below her neck, even dyeing her hands and feet—exposed outside her bathrobe—a faint rose tint.

Lord Mo did not answer, and no discernible expression crossed his face. Xuehuan understood his meaning and did not probe further.

Upon seeing that Wu You was a man, and that it was the middle of the night, the driver immediately headed for the most entertaining place.

Quite a few bounty hunter agencies began successively seeking out Fenqia's contact information, attempting to build connections. He had become a legendary figure passed by word of mouth among bounty hunters, with many taking him as a role model and striving to challenge the status quo of the Ten Regicides. Of course, all of that was a story for another day.

Everyone fell silent. Aside from the sounds of heavy breathing, chaotic footsteps, and boots frictioning against weeds, they almost felt as though something in their chests had shattered. Having suffered through endless hardships and nearly lost their lives for this trip, this outcome was simply too difficult to accept.

He was still struggling. Even though he had been snapped in half, Gao Han's body was still writhing, his legs twitching like a frog's. But the flames burned too fiercely and covered too wide an area, and coupled with various chaotic debris, it somehow caused his body to spasm and jolt upward a few more times.

She was on a date with Wu You today and was in high spirits; under normal circumstances, she would have already thrown punches.

Seeing that he had lost his helpers and matters had reached this point, Shen Yikui knew he could no longer stay in Ningzhou City and had no choice but to nod in agreement. That very night, the three of them abducted garrison commander Wu Hongqi and deputy garrison commander Fan Li, set fire to the barracks, and fled northward with their underlings to seize Ningsai.

Mu Tianyun nodded, leaving me speechless. I also wanted to postpone the wedding date by a month or two, but I knew that even if hail fell from the sky right now, Tang Xi would never agree. I just couldn't understand why this child was in such a rush to get married; it was utterly baffling.

Lan Xing'er twitched the corner of her mouth, unsure whether this was meant to be a compliment or mockery. But she understood the proverb that one must bow their head under someone else's roof, so she had no choice but to agree.

Sharing the same innocent and demure air, the same worldly ignorance, and the very same fate of falling for someone who did not love them back.

The English Premier League, which had continuously lost world-class players in the past, managed to salvage the pride of its former status as the top league last season when Manchester United made a massive acquisition of the sizzling French star Paul Pogba. Now, the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A all boasted players ranked in the top five of global football transfer fees.

"Has the senior really been fighting in Liaodong for many years? This junior expresses his utmost respect." Yuan Chonghuan leaped to his feet and offered a formal bow once more.

"You two are the most musically talented people in the class. We would like to invite you to play the opening piece, would that be alright?" The homeroom teacher looked at them with expectant eyes.

"As per the old rules, let's finish our drinks first before talking business." Wu Changshi's thoughts were stirred by these words. He reflected on how, after living in seclusion at the Zhou family estate for over two years, while he enjoyed a certain degree of prestige and freedom, his official career remained as hazy as ever, with no clue when an opportunity to step onto the grand stage might arrive.

The Empress casually surveyed the surrounding few meters. In just a fleeting moment, the smile on her lips did not fade, and the depths of her phoenix eyes held a soft radiance. Although faint crow's feet lined the corners of her eyes, her gaze remained clear and composed.

"Stop!" the Empress shouted, but this surge of energy fluctuations swept out like an invisible net, tightly binding her entire body. She struggled fiercely, only to discover that she was completely unable to move a single inch.
