Volume 1, Chapter 64: Dowry, Priceless Sincerity
After all, Lin Shi had given He Dou a considerable amount of silver as a tribute, whereas Ye Liu-yun was just a newly admitted gang member, completely incomparable to Lin Shi.
The motorcycle's headlight illuminated the dark night sky, and the refreshing night breeze blew past, making Qin Tian feel a wave of comfort. Behind him, Shangguan Yan hugged him even tighter.
Maritime shipping was actually the most convenient and cost-effective method, but it could be intercepted at any time, whereas land transport was much safer.
Under normal circumstances, this would have required a lot of persuasion and bargaining, but the Sea King's gentleness made the prince ignore everything else; no matter how important money was, it could not compare to this exact moment.
Empress Mi naturally had no reason to refuse. After chatting with Qin Mo for a while, she… cadged a meal and returned to the palace to report to Ying Zheng.
The Kingdom of Boluo possessed the largest naval force in the East, and they had to send the newly established navy of the Yong'an Kingdom to the bottom of the sea, just like the Battle of Garlan twenty years ago! Thinking of this, Lin Hengping clenched his fists.
At that moment, Black Tiger, who had been scouting outside the city the entire time, led his troops directly into the city. To maintain secrecy, Black Tiger had also disguised his face.
Wuzun masters were exceptionally rare figures across the entire Yuntian Continent; no one expected one to appear in the Southern Territory.
Murong Sheng-sheng looked up slowly under the gaze of two pairs of eyes. Opening her mouth as if to say "I will not marry," she thought better of it, closed her mouth with a sigh, picked up a vernacular novel, turned around, and presented her back to them.
Seeing that Ted did not react, Mia grew bolder. She sat directly on the coffee table beside Ted, staring intently at Alice before her, refusing to let her make any untoward movements.
Many people yawned while standing in line, draped in heavy cotton-padded jackets; one could tell at a glance that they had been queuing all night.
Ah, they could only hope that the person before them merely shared the exact same name with that individual rather than being the same person—this was their final, desperate wish. Yet even before this wish could fully form, it shattered completely and vanished silently with Jin Yi's slight nod.
Li Shishi also curiously sat down beside Geng Haoshi, wrapping both hands around his left arm and gently leaning her head against his shoulder… "Senior, this is us—uh!" she said excitedly, looking at the photo on the phone of Geng Haoshi carrying her on his back.
Su Ruyi was instantly blinded by a surge of overwhelming hatred, which dragged up those terrifying memories she had never been willing to recall. She began launching frantic attacks against the Nether Prime, but her assaults had virtually no effect on him.
Finding these dishes a bit too greasy, Xiao Baozhu chose spaghetti, which was relatively lighter.
"Could it be that you wish to challenge my majesty and authority?" Bai Qi swept his gaze toward Nafu and said coldly.
Yet the child did not freeze; instead, waving the kitchen knife in his hand, he hacked down, blow by solid blow, straight into San Maodan's body.
Everyone in the conference room exchanged glances, all furrowing their brows, hanging their heads, and sighing incessantly.
If Bai Qi could completely occupy the Turner Province, strategically speaking, the empire would have established a bridgehead for both offensive and defensive operations against the Bestial Empire and the Elven Empire, and might even incorporate the filthy-rich Muse Commercial Federation into its grasp, let alone the notorious City of Sin known for its chaos.
Liu Yin-xue's pretty face flushed red with anger. Urged on by the elders, she had no choice but to kneel down resentfully.
Seeing that his opponent's striking momentum had already peaked, Liu Xinghao dropped his hips and twisted his waist, lashing out with a ferocious high kick directly aimed at the tall leader's head and face.
The announcement over the loudhailer nearly caused the entire Xiping Village to boil over; after all, everyone loved getting paid.
"So what if it is!" Lu Xuan assumed a posture of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, and with a quick retraction of his spiritual power and a flick of his hand, the Purple Lightning Sword was stowed away into his Illusionary Ruyi pouch.
Puben: "Heh, so what if our Ghoul clan all become intermediate undead? Without high-level combat strength, we will never be looked upon with respect by other undead. Once I break through to the Great Undead realm, we won't need to hide anymore; we can completely head to the other side of the Chaotic Land and start anew."
Zhuzi had a thick and heavy build, so Lu Xuan prepared a set of martial arts similar to the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt for him, giving it a pleasant-sounding name—the Golden Armor Divine Skill.
Second, he was still in combat and lacked an abundance of spiritual power to spare; doing it this way consumed very little, ensuring he would not suffer from backlash.
Xiao Quelie only felt a tremendous force strike him, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. He was sent flying backward by the immense force, while Xiao He and Xiao Bulu below watched their master fall into danger and screamed in horror.
Conversely, if the Underworld Alliance had shown a serious attitude from the very beginning and dispatched high-ranking officials of considerable status, it would have meant the Underworld Alliance was fully determined to eliminate Cechov.
At this moment, Ling Zichong of the Ling family was conversing with an old man. The elder's eyes were sharp, and upon closer inspection, one would be shocked to find that his pupils were diamond-shaped like those of a beast rather than circular like a human's.
Raising his head abruptly, he saw tall timber-and-tile houses arranged in a U-shape, exuding an ancient, majestic, and grandiose aura. The eaves featured carved beams and painted pillars adorned with gold leaf, their four corners curving slightly upward like a roc spreading its wings, poised to soar into the sky.
