Chapter 45

That single "President Yun" froze Yun Zihan, whose eyes had been filled with longing as he looked at Gu Wanying, entirely because the detachment in her tone widened the distance between them.

Therefore, he did not torment her endlessly; he merely tasted and stopped, fearing he might tire her out and leave her unable to study the next day.

"I only came to France because I missed you," Su Mianmian said with a hint of grievance. Although she knew that coming to France to find him might provoke his anger, she had not expected him to be this furious or to lose his temper with her.

When stepping off the tour bus, Lan Fei's gaze met Zhou Feng's for a fleeting second, carrying a deep sense of guarded vigilance.

"Fine, Su Mianmian, you won't say you don't want to go anywhere unless we make things clear." Li Jinye stepped out of the car, opened the passenger-side door, and roughly yanked Su Mianmian's hand, though she naturally resisted.

Although at the doorway her composure had been shattered by his sudden appearance and she had panicked, desperately wanting to escape him.

Li Jinye’s handsome face turned even uglier, dark and gloomy. Usually calm and collected in the face of anything, Li Jinye was anything but composed at this moment, harboring the urge to kill.

Before long, Lan Fei's flower shop did indeed deliver six potted plants, each over half a person's height. Having no expertise in botany, he had no idea what species they were. They looked quite ordinary—lush and green with particularly broad leaves, much like the most common indoor potted plants. He truly could not spot anything special about them.

Lin Miaoyu returned to find nothing, because when Pei Chenyang left, he had taken all his belongings with him, departing thoroughly.

Observing that several of the soul stones had shattered completely, Huiye understood immediately that something must have happened at the Qingyu Manor.

Still, she didn't scold me too harshly, because she knew what kind of child I was. Other children couldn't be disciplined even with three beatings a day, but a single word from me was enough to stop them—such was the image a child held in their parents' hearts.

And so, Yun Zhi and Fu Lingya chatted and laughed as their carriage swayed all the way toward the palace.

Those two brothers, the fat monk and the skinny Taoist, might have been a bit reckless, but they were genuinely rare masters under heaven. Yet, just like that, so effortlessly... they died?

Under Tisuo's watchful gaze, Qi Tianyang and I walked step by step into the stockade, bypassing paths choked with bushes and weeds to step directly onto a dirt track that clearly saw frequent foot traffic.

"Hmph... I refuse to eat that. It smells like it'll rot my nose off." Xue Ji narrowed her eyes and looked at me with utter disbelief.

"That's right, spot on, the truth is just like that! Peng Bo, how on earth did you guess that Qiu Qingfeng was a rapist?" A trace of admiration crept into Zhong Qi's eyes as she looked at Peng Bo.

Clearly, when dealing with an opponent of Baotong's formidable strength, Zi Cai'er did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Brother Hao also snapped back to senses, and with an immediate oath, he lashed out with a kick, knocking the waiter unconscious. The three of us immediately sprinted toward the lawn.

A few years ago, Dudanzi's wife gave birth to a son, who unfortunately died just after passing his full-month milestone. They never had children again. Upon receiving his brother's phone call, Dudanzi was overjoyed and immediately rushed to the county hospital to find him.

Hearing Qi Tianyang's words, my heart thudded uneasily, a lingering sense that his warning foreshadowed grave danger ahead. I remained silent, merely tightening my grip on Qi Tianyang's hand.

As for the radical faction, after enduring a round of bombardment, everyone instantly went berserk. In their view, those special forces soldiers coming to raid them held absolute contempt for them.

The opponent was at most twenty years old; how could they possibly understand Feng Shui? At that age, they probably hadn't even heard of the Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.

At first, the results were quite good, and everything proceeded precisely as the mainframe had anticipated.

Much like how he himself had long survived not by purely relying on murderous combat, but by accurately weighing the balance of forces, mostly fleeing all the way to be fortunate enough to live until now.

After staying in Yecheng for a few days, the Chen family found themselves entirely powerless against the monk and the Taoist. It was precisely because of this that the Venomous Cloud Saint remembered the two of them, subsequently conceiving the brilliant plan to use the monk and the Taoist to lure Lin Yun to the Hundred Poisons Ridge.

Yan Xingcheng waved his hand, and the rail launchers on the battleship locked onto the remaining troops of both sides. With a single thought, ten thousand cannons fired simultaneously, reducing all living creatures within that designated zone to fine dust.

Such a bold and unrestrained Second Senior Brother was completely different from the First Senior Brother, who was calculating and scheming—where would the First Senior Brother ever possess such vigor?

The symbols carved here were definitely not meant merely to catch his attention; they were undoubtedly guiding him, leading him somewhere to set an ambush.

Chen Yang looked at those suddenly appearing cultivators; the lowest among them was at the first tier of the Orbit-Roaming Realm, while the highest-ranking man in the lead had reached the seventh tier of the Orbit-Roaming Realm.

Yan Guinian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chen Yang was referring to pills consumed during combat to temporarily boost battle prowess.

"Hello, may I ask what your name is? Are you an alien friend from the 'Cosmic Technology Grand Alliance'? What is your purpose?" The person on the other end asked with a tentative tone.

Afterwards, his figure instantly teleported not far from General Heavenly Soul. General Heavenly Soul was startled, unaware that his side possessed such an expert. Once Hong Zhengyang transmitted his voice to inform him of the other's true identity, Heavenly Soul was too shocked for words.

Because Ah Yan had gone to help cancel his schedule for the next day while Lu Yanzhi was shooting, he wasn't on set, which explained his utter astonishment at Feng Qin'er's presence.

It was just that Dodo used soul stones to ignite the flame, which involuntarily filled onlookers with admiration for Dodo's mastery of alchemy. After all, Dodo had never studied at the Supreme Mountain, so he naturally remained unaware of how academy students refined third-tier herbs.

"Hmph! So what if I lost? If you have the guts, let's meet on the Heavenly Ladder for a real showdown!" Dan Yueyue halted her steps and said coldly.

As expected of the capital of the Indian Federation, New Delhi boasted a population of 25 million and stood as one of the few modernized cities in the federation, forming a sharp contrast with the backward state of the East Coast cities.

True to Qing莲's description, blooming flowers covered the mountains, resembling an ocean of blossoms. From the base to the summit, countless varieties of flowers competed in beauty, as if refusing to stop until a sovereign among them was crowned.

"Yes! So what? That was merely his mentor, not him himself." Xiao Yue thought rebelliously, feeling somewhat unconvinced.

In fact, while caring for Mark, Eva had secretly touched the muscles on his body, finding them truly rock-solid.

This method of cremation by flames was the angels' highest burial rite for fallen warriors, reserved exclusively for angel soldiers who died for justice.

"You may all dispense with the formalities." Facing the obeisance of these spoiled young aristocrats, Liu Jin accepted their bows with total composure, unlike his courteous demeanor toward Huo Guang.

A violently festive red contrasted sharply with his devoid-of-warmth eyes, stabbing sharply into Qingyi's heart and sending her into a flurry of panic. She stumbled backward, her heel catching on the edge of the bed behind her, and fell onto the mattress.
