39 Borrowing a Bit of Your Faith (Includes a 2k Nutrient Solution Bonus Chapter)

The man spoke while deliberately puffing out his frail chest and lifting his chin, though he lacked the natural presence to carry the gesture, rendering his efforts entirely in vain.

Apart from her, Liu Hong and the six young women had all collapsed to the ground; not a single one remained conscious.

Information regarding "Heaven Beyond Heaven" was exceedingly scarce, as if the organization did not exist at all.

Yu Ke'er massaged Ye Fan with great effort, using various techniques while asking about his experience.

However, even if one has saved another’s life, when they express genuine gratitude, it is still necessary to remain polite and courteous.

Ye Yuntian remained indifferent to the surrounding gazes, his mind occupied with formulating his next move.

A "simp" like Tan Anxiang, who followed her everywhere, held absolutely no appeal to her.

Going down now would only result in a harsher scolding; if the dormitory manager really had the authority to deduct points, it would be a disaster if she actually did so.

"Herb Frost," the most bizarre poison in the world, is colorless and odorless. A single grain is enough to dissolve into the bloodstream in an instant, causing the victim to die from acute poisoning.

Yet, she was blatantly thrown into the celestial prison, and it was unclear what exactly that signified.

The captain leading the group was a soldier with an honest, simple appearance who introduced himself as Li Jinbang. He spoke with a Cangzhou accent. Luo Ying noticed the thick calluses on his fleshy palms, suggesting he practiced something like Iron Palm Kung Fu, and realized the man was certainly a martial arts expert.

Xi Jiang looked at Qiao Hongbo, then at Luo Yi, thinking to himself, "What are you two playing at? One tells me to leave, the other tells me to stay—is there something going on here, or is it nothing?"

Sensing the shift in momentum, he let out a huff, choosing to treat it as an acknowledgment that there was no need to discuss the matter further.

Ruoxi recounted the encounter with the masked man from start to finish; at this point, there was nothing left for her to hide.

Last time, he had Jianghua Group cancel all business dealings with Donghai Bank. Although relations were later restored, that single move had indirectly caused Donghai Bank losses amounting to billions.

Moreover, the streets here were noticeably gloomier than before, and the red light of the lanterns seemed merely decorative, failing to illuminate the path at all.

She thought carefully and recalled having heard of the water purifier scheme; many people had been deceived by it back then.

"You had better provide an explanation that satisfies me, or don't blame me for being impolite," the man in the black hat said, taking a puff of his spectral cigarette, ready to exhale a ring of smoke at any moment.

Lin Yuanqiu was not the type to fawn over others. The idea of fawning over someone who clearly looked down on him was something he could never do, even if his life depended on it.

He began to brag about his own glorious deeds, claiming he had been on the university's combat team. He fabricated a few stories and embellished them with such flair that Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Yet, seeing it lazing about in Hu Mei'er's arms, everyone was speechless—it remained as gluttonous and lazy as ever.

Their wagers were all identical: everyone bet on Wanwu Mountain to win and Lin Yang to die.

There was no doubt that those ancient poems had now been shamelessly stolen by the protagonist, Fang Yun, to use as capital for his own arrogance.

Although it seemed like a simple matter, for Liu Hun to achieve it proved quite difficult, and the amount of energy required was far from trivial.

Ye Xuan appeared high among the clouds in the Confucian-Taoist plane. Looking down at the continent, he saw countless cities, vast and boundless.

If not for the sudden surge of ferocity in his heart moments ago, he likely would have become someone else's meal by now.

Two days later, Lin Hao finally arrived at the capital of the Jinhong Dynasty. It was as magnificent and opulent as the Lingyu Dynasty, and the royal city was in no way inferior to its counterpart.

Watching Chen Ran's shameless expression, Ye Xuan could do nothing but follow him obediently into his room.

"About a month, I suppose!" Bai Lingfei said, feigning deep thought before finally answering Liu Hun.

The fist and the finger-beam collided with the force of water jets striking an earthen wall. A thunderous roar erupted as the immense energy splashed outward, transforming into invisible ripples that slammed against the surrounding sea surface.

"I think I should take you all to school; I’ve found Xuan Qing's location!" Na Tie said to Xuan Yalan and the others at the hotel entrance.

"Am I going too?" To be honest, I didn't want to go. How could I have an appetite seeing Zuo Yisen's face? I was already fuming with anger; what would I eat?

Hearing Gu Ling'er's words, Long Tianchen suddenly emerged from her arms. He slowly extended his tightly clenched hand and opened it, revealing a golden needle resting in his palm.

Upon seeing that it was the Admiral Bao Qibao, Bao Chao dared not defy protocol, hurriedly dismounting and running forward to bow and pay his respects.

Seeing Pan Yuhong's solemn expression, everyone turned serious, especially the two Mei Xuelians, who began to treat the matter with great gravity.

The seventh blade of the Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Blades tore through the void, illuminating the entire square as a thunderclap echoed overhead.

Ximen Piaoxue was indeed more worried about Leng Qingqing; after all, when he left, she had only one night left to live, whereas Bai Shaozi had the Cold Jade Bed and might be able to hold on much longer.

Ye Fantian was only a novice, and his brewing techniques could not compare to the others, but relying on memories from his past life, the liquor he crafted was potent and highly favored by the demon monkeys.

"So, you used me as bait just to get the bed photos of Bai Su and Gu Zhiqing?" My previous suspicion had been correct after all.
