39 My Unfortunate Childhood Friend (12)

Ying Feiwu retrieved an antique, serrated bronze key from her waist to unlock the basement door, then pushed it open and led Yang Huaiping inside.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face exchanged a glance before trotting over to sit beside Yang Huaiping.

The captain was truly the glue of the Avengers; though his combat prowess was lacking, he was highly skilled at ideological work. With a flurry of rhetoric, he had the gathered superheroes nodding in constant agreement.

Gephi Wuying leaped up, intending to catch the sent-flying Gephi Nanhuo, but the Black-Silk Evil God suddenly appeared before her. A surge of pressure forced her back several meters. She steadied herself, watching the entity with unflinching resolve.

Within every cultivation family, there resided a statue of varying quality, used to summon celestial beings to descend and bestow the divine light of the spirit and underworld.

Suppressed, Dr. Connors let out a roar; with a violent shake of his arms, he flung two hundred-kilogram strongmen away.

Suddenly, Qin Hao felt a sharp pain in his palm—Feng Xiangyi had bitten him, though she did not use much force.

Had it not been for a conflict with the senior partners at his law firm, he likely would never have joined the current Dawn Company as the head of its legal department.

Sha Dutian called out loudly, but in the deep, flame-filled valley, his voice echoed repeatedly without answer.

Her delicate face was right before him, her smile brimming with cuteness. Yet, this question cast a shadow of melancholy over the person before her.

At the same time, Kusakabe Kaori understood what Andy meant. She cursed him silently a hundred times over, realizing she had fallen completely into his trap.

"Are you truly certain?" I felt that Yin Su’s transformation was too drastic; in just a single day, he had reconciled everything.

"Mrs. Zhu." As soon as Lou Fengming saw her, a genuine smile touched his lips. In truth, he yearned to call her "Yuer" once more, but in this lifetime, he no longer had the right to address her by that name outside the confines of his own heart.

Actually, Gale was a fine horse, and Ye Luo knew that better than anyone. Thinking back, the way the horse had refused to let him mount earlier must have been out of concern that he might get hurt.

Everyone continued to observe, but those who followed seemed unremarkable; while there were no total disasters, there was no one who could capture their hearts at first glance. Apocalypse felt a sense of unease—not physical pain or dizziness, but a hollow, palpitating sensation, as if sensing some impending danger.

In a bedroom, having endured the day’s competition and the nighttime contest between grandfather and grandson, the young Han Jinyong slept soundly beside his parents.

"Exactly, exactly! It must be that he doesn't want to break up with you and is trying to get you to change your mind, which is why he's stirred up all this trouble. Yiyi, it's not that I want to lecture you, but since he’s being so sincere, you should just forgive him," Situ Jiejie urged me.

"Understood." Nodding in compliance, Xu Chu ran off to make preparations. Under Dong Zhuo's orders, the army slowly retreated five miles to set up camp, safely beyond the line of sight of Yuan Shao’s soldiers on the city walls.

However, I refused to speak of it. Mortal trials were much like those in the celestial realm—all performative acts of vanity, and I could not be bothered to worry about such things.

One day, Wushan went home to his mother's room to personally call her for dinner, only to find her weeping in silence.

In reality, however, the human soldiers suffered the heavier casualties. If not for their nearly hundredfold numerical advantage and the fact that these human soldiers were true warriors who feared no death, their side would have long since suffered a total collapse.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?" Su Mi was surprised, having not expected such a question from the mute child.

The voice that appeared suddenly in his mind caused Hua Ye, who was leaning against the ground, to raise an eyebrow. After his eyes flickered a few times, he proceeded to establish a communication link with Karl.

Meng Junyao was amused to the point of laughter. Could this upright Brother Hai really not think of simply buying another box?

Immediately after, Chi Ying slowly emerged from the shadows. Reflected in the night, her black attire made her appear exceptionally cold and indifferent.

Bai Wei did not know why Li Yan opposed it, but since the princess had asked, she could not refuse to answer and recounted everything she knew in detail.

Veigar certainly would not be blunt, but rather expressed his loyalty to the Empire from every angle, thanking them and welcoming the arrival of imperial reinforcements to assist his work after the Kingdom's withdrawal, promising to handle the reception well.

Princess Murong smiled: "People have different stances. If the other side is plotting against you, would you show mercy?"

At this moment, the two young men he had pinned his hopes on, whom he had nurtured as his right and left hands, had both fallen into the deep valley. With a mudslide having just occurred, the possibility of their survival was slim. How could Wang Weimin not be heartbroken?

The strongest among their group was only at the Golden Core level; how could they contend with the power of the Nascent Soul realm? For a moment, everyone felt a sense of overwhelming despair.

Cen the Madman’s figure suddenly erupted into motion, leaving trails of afterimages. Seeing this, Yu Hualu gritted his teeth and formed a seal, pushing his own speed to the limit in an attempt to keep up.

Watching Yang Xiu’s despicable conduct toward the Wang and Yuan families, Han Shixiao trembled in fear, wondering how he would treat the Han family.

One should also know that the members of the Tianling Villa were scattered and well-hidden; she did not believe that in this backward ancient era, Yun Zhan could locate them specifically.

She recognized the man in the lead—or rather, Bai Yao did. It was Xiao Yunxi, the founder and investor of "National Star Creation" and chairman of Yunyi Entertainment. Young and promising, he was a notorious playboy.

The sudden remark left Guan Kui stunned. "Uh! Your Highness?" He had only called the brat a "wolf pup," so why had he angered the Prince?

Yet, at the moment the words were about to escape his lips, he realized with a jolt that he no longer had the right to say them.

Lu Ziyu grabbed Tang Motian by the shoulders, and a pair of wings nearly a meter long sprouted from his back, carrying him directly into flight.

This couldn't help but stir in Chang Le—who loved to recruit experts into his service—the desire to bring them into his fold. To think it and then do it was the motto Chang Le now lived by. After calling his personal guards, he drove two open-top off-road jeeps away from the base.
