Chapter 26 [Second Update]

After all, they had lived together for so many years; she felt she really ought to see his downfall with her own eyes.

Under the gaze of the bidders, Mrs. Steve, clad in a long purple gown, walked slowly onto the stage from the rear.

The outcome had been decided from the very beginning. Yuan Yue Hall was bathed in blood, unable to withstand the pincer attack from the Sparrow Immortal Sect and the regional commander’s personal troops.

On stage, the judging phase had begun. Li Sisi was the first to speak, questioning Guo Xinyu.

Guo Qing’s words were simple; she had merely spoken a few sentences. Yet the truth was, had she not uttered those words, the couple might have struggled for ages before thinking of a flexible solution. How else could they have turned their restaurant into such a thriving success in so little time?

He saw no pity for life in their eyes, only expressions filled with cold indifference.

Mu Yicheng returned to his classroom, sat in his chair, plugged in his earphones, and gazed out the window, his thoughts already drifting to the far corners of the horizon.

According to Donald’s original idea for the plan proposed in May, everything should have been nearly complete by July, entering the final wrap-up stage. Alas, as various goals and new details were added, the preparation time for the plan kept increasing, causing the implementation date to be continuously postponed.

"Your brother, Li Yue, took her away. For some reason, he seems to regard her as a pawn that can be used to threaten Li Jue," Lin Qianye said.

Then there was Tie Muchen, the Khan of the Wuhuan Kingdom. Since being struck by Li Xian last year, the entire eastern and southern regions of the Wuhuan Kingdom had been razed by the Qin army. Even the capital, Black Forest Fortress, had been burned, leaving the entire nation’s vitality severely crippled.

A hoarse, dark voice reached Liu Qiaoqiao’s ears. She hurriedly stood up from her meditation and immediately drew her sword from her storage bag, gripping it tightly.

Just as everyone’s gaze shifted toward Peony and the others, two powerful entities lurking in the shadows suddenly made their move—and their target was Peony and her companions.

Seeing his appearance, Chu Xiong knew at once that this Mo Lihai was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He thought of his own subordinates—hardly any of them reached that level; they were all at the Golden Core stage. If they really went up to fight him, it would be an inevitable defeat. There was no suspense left.

"So what if you are at the peak of the Yuan Baron realm? Do you really think a mere dozen people can turn the world upside down!" one of the level-six Yuan Baron powerhouses shouted, and the others immediately unleashed their Yuan Orbs.

Running away when you can’t win was one of Jiu Er’s principles; she would never just wait there to be captured.

Yet, it was strange that there had been no news of the Sovereign of Dayuan, Gili, to this day. Where could he have gone?

Developing influence in Luofeng County was pointless, as it was the domain of Marquis Luo. Once your influence grew too large, it would attract his attention. At that point, all Marquis Luo had to do was wave his hand, and the power you had painstakingly built would crumble instantly.

Seeing Ah Liang speak this way, the old man of the Wei family merely chuckled and nodded. He did not trust everything Ah Liang said; he merely wanted to glean some information, but how could Ah Liang ever tell him the truth?

"I'm fine..." She fought back the nausea in her stomach, feeling that even smiling had become a difficult task.

With a dull thud, Long Zhan, unable to dodge in time, could only use his hands to block Hong Zixie’s attack. To his horror, the strength he took such pride in was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot before Hong Zixie.

Seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the line, Su Ze walked to the window. Looking out at the boundless night, he felt as if he had passed through a dark tunnel and was finally about to see the light.

The trembling ceased after a moment. The entire cultivation chamber no longer resembled its original state, leaving only a bottomless pit.

Abuhan Yong and Zhuo Lubu, who had yet to surrender their military tallies, gritted their teeth and simultaneously placed two beast bones on the ground.

As they spoke, Directors Huang and Hu lined up their glasses, filled them with wine, and looked provocatively at Fan Xiaohui.

"Is Youren coming back?" Ino was overjoyed... although Youren’s avatar was still responsible for administrative affairs and would sometimes accompany her shopping, playing, or on dates in his stead—just as it had been before Youren left.

"Noisy? Heh, Aunt Anna, I can’t even be bothered with you. Do you think I would argue with you? Besides, what is there to argue about with someone like you?" Yi Fei said with disdain.

Tiandao Shang roared. He struggled, trying to break free, but it was impossible; he was completely imprisoned.

"But once everything is over, we can meet, right, Brother Che?" Yuge asked herself. Suddenly, a bird chirped, and Yuge stared at the scene, stunned.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I’ll put them in the refrigerator for you. Remember, you cannot eat more than three a day. This is exactly a five-day supply. Whether you can achieve results depends on these five days!" With that, she put the snacks in the refrigerator and showed Lu Jing exactly where they were.

Shen Liancheng frowned and shook her head slightly. A person overwhelmed by passion would not lose hope over the harsh words of a servant. On the contrary, it would only spur her on to do what her heart desired.

Mo Xie looked at the giant nostrils in the cave and felt like crying. As the finger pressed down, he instinctively condensed the "Nether Mirror" to block it in the air.

"No, but they aren't really expressing opposition anymore. What I want to tell you now is that something wonderful has happened at my home, and I couldn't help but want to share it with you," Zhu Mengru replied.

For a writer, creating a work is like a great mother gestating a new life. It is not only her hope but also her spiritual sustenance; she never wants it to perish halfway.

Zhang Lingyu’s idea had long been dismissed by Ju Baiping. The Cliff of Severed Heavens was the most famous testing ground on Pengzhu Star. Meteors, all kinds of rare materials, beast bones, and even the corpses of cultivators and their storage rings often fell from the sky there. Moreover, no one could fly upward against the current above the Cliff of Severed Heavens.
