Volume 1, Chapter 35: The Ox-Demon King Merchant Ship

Beggars are filthy and despised; no one wants to be associated with them, let alone share utensils with one.

On the other end, nine corpses were tethered to the nine chains. Through some unknown method, they remained as "fresh" as if they were still alive.

Li Wei was completely unaware of this. Zhou Dalong had made a mistake, yet instead of being punished, he was promoted. The town leaders of Linshui Town dared not say a word; the key was that they feared offending Zhou Bo and could only readily agree.

Emir was stunned. With an injured thigh, he had no chance of escaping, so he knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly and begging for his life.

Although there was a minor mishap in the end—Yage lost an arm during the battle—he successfully completed the promotion ritual without further incident and healed his wounds upon returning.

As an immortal, I must either live like a coward, swallowing insults and keeping my head down, avoiding trouble whenever possible.

She struggled to pull away, but her entire body was firmly pinned by Yinsheng’s arms, leaving her unable to move and forced to endure the man’s aggressive intrusion.

Shangguan Rou was distracted throughout the meal; she could not understand why everyone’s behavior did not match her own memories.

Yinsheng looked up, and Ji Yan reached out to hook her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, then tilted her head to press her lips firmly against his.

Qin Shiyue had been chatting and laughing with Lu Xinrou, but when she saw Sheng Lingxi and Jiang Chimo enter, a flicker of surprise crossed her face, followed immediately by a darkening of her expression.

From as far back as I can remember, my mother’s doting and my father’s kindness had always reflected the warmth of a nuclear family, but all this beauty was shattered when I was ten years old.

"As for the questions, you were so severely wounded at the time, aren't you curious about who caused your injuries?" Lin Zheng asked directly.

Xiao Xiu stared in disbelief, taking the chopsticks she offered him in a daze. What was going on? He sat blankly at the table, staring at the oily chopsticks in his hand, feeling dazed once more.

Sand is different; although it is a solid, for a vehicle's wheels, it is little different from a liquid. If handled poorly, or if one cannot gain enough momentum or the vehicle’s weight is insufficient to press down, it is easy for the wheels to simply spin in place.

Director Zhang walked into the rehabilitation center building while listening to the voices, only to see a crowd of ghosts and people at the entrance of the duty room.

Even Vodka, who was standing right next to them, acted as if nothing had happened and as if he had seen nothing at all.

Realizing this, a sense of melancholy washed over him. He set aside his thoughts and began to focus on his work, steady and earnest.

This brief conversation made the values and personality of the Celestial Dragons clear to everyone.

At that time, Xiao Ce had become increasingly silent. Even if he did not say it, Chu Tingyun knew he was constantly blaming himself, believing it was because of him that the Qingcheng Sect had been exterminated.

Because people were coming, the two of them hurriedly tidied up, waited a few minutes for the flush on Ji Ran’s face to fade, and then opened the door to leave the room.

Mima said proudly, "Is it really that good?" She spoke while hanging it on her ear, where both her breath and hair provided an added effect.

The key was that Zhang Yaming’s new home had a very unique character; it was identical to the old Liu family residence, from the furniture used to the decorations, with the only addition being a massive gardenia tree.

Huiting is neither surrounded by mountains nor water; it is walled on all four sides. To the east lies Bajing City, which is currently considered safe. To the west is Wuyang City, now occupied by Qi Zhensheng, who is somewhat connected to me. It wouldn't be impossible to join forces with him at this time, so I sent him a letter; I imagine there won't be much of a problem on his end.

At this moment, in the distant thicket, a silver beam of light shot into the sky, as if some immense threat were brewing.

Because of the move and the busyness of the past few days, all the construction on the island had been completed. Zhang Yaming invited some familiar friends over; in his view, moving house requires liveliness and human warmth, but when it comes time to actually live there, he prefers peace and quiet.

When Mint saw a magical beast take two steps toward him, he knew the Prayer of Light was no longer effective, and the onset of night only amplified the beasts’ power. He retreated with a bitter smile, only to feel his back hit a wall. Was there no way to escape?

Therefore, Jinxi had to abandon the idea of setting up that formation in Minrong’s bedroom. Regardless, Minrong’s health was decent, especially in the years since Qi Ling was born, as she had maintained a happy mood and was naturally healthy.

The Commandant is responsible for the deployment of all troops in the city; without his orders, no officer or soldier may leave their post without authorization. However, the current Commandant is dead, and no successor has been appointed yet. For now, the Governor directly commands the city’s military power.

"You remember quite clearly." Hua Ruchu leaned back, and Qiu Jin hurriedly stuffed a pillow behind her to make her more comfortable, her eyes filled with worry and an urge to call for Dongfei.

He seemed to place increasing importance on Chen Mengting; at the very least, he had her involved in more and more company affairs and management tasks. He appeared to value her highly and showed no intention of letting her leave.

Ou Yue, standing to the side, curled his lip and, under the pressure of Luo Cheng’s impatient gaze, recounted what had happened.

"Fine, if the Master has a brilliant plan, there is no need to speak in riddles; this junior will simply listen," Fang Zhong said with a sigh of helplessness.

"I came from that direction originally. I meant that if you are going to Bata, we are heading the same way," Pei Yongchang said with a touch of pride, unwilling to admit the possibility that Luo Cheng had suggested.

Now that the relationship had been severed, the Eternal City received a system notification, and all the land plots in Bule City returned to the control of Beixi.
