Chapter 45

Unfortunately, reality rarely lets a young couple seeking a day of unbridled indulgence have things entirely their own way. At that inopportune moment, a cell phone began to ring. And once it started, it refused to stop. With a sigh of resignation, Chu Yu had no choice but to get up and answer the call.

Comfortably puffing on the special cigarette given to him by Langxie, he sat cross-legged on the roof of the car, narrowing his eyes in deep thought.

Ouyang Pengcheng still approved of Xu Huiqiong's proposal to go for Gallic cuisine; at least it was somewhat more reliable than that Uncle Sam selling hamburgers while wearing a gas mask.

Xiao Yao’s aggressive opening remarks upon entering were meant to establish a deterrent. He knew his words would provoke resentment from many, but if he won today, no one would ever dare trouble Jenny again.

Yet, could he simply sit by and let the Hu family babble on and tarnish his sister's reputation? Those ungrateful wretches, who deserved to be dragged out and fed to the dogs, had harmed his sister and were now dragging her name through the mud.

"Hitting so hard? Auntie is going to be in discomfort for days. One hundred yuan will be deducted from next month's allowance!" Ouyang Pengcheng joked with Dong Wanxia with a smile.

Fang Linran desperately wanted to reach for that military dagger to end his life, but the bones in his hand had been shattered inch by inch. Forget about committing suicide; even the slightest movement was an extravagant hope.

With that, someone rushed forward to cover Bai Muxin's mouth. It wouldn't matter if the mistress heard, but if someone overheard and reported it to the old dowager, they would be in for a rough time.

"Hey! Taibai, are you free today?" Qin Ruoshui's voice was as gentle and timid as ever, making one instinctively want to cup her in the palms of their hands.

Guided by the firelight, Shen Yaoxi saw that it was actually a blood-soaked infant, its wide, unblinking eyes staring fixedly at them.

At first, her heart had been pounding wildly, but gradually it calmed down. She walked quietly along the path, sheltered by Zixing, keeping her head down to avoid the occasional passersby coming from the opposite direction.

He originally wanted to visit the Xiao family's martial arts hall, but all along the way, he encountered numerous pointing fingers and gossiping glances.

"I think we are on the same page," Chu Junyue said, the corners of his lips curving into a meaningful smile.

Indeed, under such critical circumstances, if Xing Tong hadn't thought of digging a tunnel, Wang Yan and Li San dou probably never would have come up with that method.

"Alright, I don't need you to say thank you..." As soon as Qin Fen said this, Liu Rumeng shot him a direct look of disdain.

Dragging the burning paper lantern, she violently beat back the poisonous snakes on the ground. Although fierce, fear of fire was an innate instinct for animals; seeing her continually fling fire down, they began to show signs of retreat.

The dozen or so immensely powerful monstrous sea giants at the very front bore the brunt of the assault. Brilliant beams of light descended upon them in unison, each radiant ray representing a fatal sword strike that even their thick and rugged hides could not withstand.

Moreover, he was not suited to give an immediate reply. If he agreed instantly and without a hint of hesitation to become a spy, the Butcher would either suspect him of seeking a suicidal death or believe he had ulterior motives. Therefore, Ye Chen simply agreed to diligently search for a suitable candidate and left the grand hall.

Especially the youths from the surrounding departments—having engaged in a chaotic brawl with the elders' disciples three days ago, they arrived without even wiping the grease from their mouths after eating. Some even deliberately carried a chicken leg or the like, purely to provoke the disciples of the Eight Elders.

As the first head finally emerged from the shadows of the elliptical cave, everyone was able to see their true form.

With Dugu Bo's guidance and a deeper understanding of twin martial souls, Tang San let go of his burdens. He believed that his Blue Silver Grass could not possibly be ordinary, but because his previous mood had been so despondent, he still held a sliver of doubt, wondering if Dugu Bo had merely made it up to comfort him.

"Qiqi, why are you walking in such a hurry? I haven't even exchanged a few words with Sister Bieli yet," Tian Ting complained.

"This silly girl, my lifelong reputation is ruined..." At this moment, Yue did not dare look back, because the moment she turned around, Huang Jiamu on the opposite side would surely recognize her.

Cherry slowly pulled the push-pull lever back to the zero position, and then they finally returned to normal, the scenery outside the screen suddenly turning unfamiliar.

"Why do people on this planet love eating my dishes so much? Is it simply because they have never tasted Earth's cuisine before?" Pondering the reason, Yue began to eat as well.

Seeing that Luo Chen was dressed in cheap street vendor clothes that totaled less than fifty yuan, Su Cuihua was inwardly convinced that Luo Chen was only after Luo Xue's money.

Duan Chen slapped his forehead; he was the best proof. As long as one worked hard enough and could inspire others, those who succeeded were the true geniuses.

Strength is the ultimate truth. Wu Xuan, a mere cultivator at the third tier of Blood Manifestation, had instantly obliterated an expert approaching the realm of Blood Lords.

Old Master Jin's face turned so dark and gloomy that water practically dripped from it. While the Jin family could not afford to offend the East's final deity, Bai Chuwei, they were not nobodies to be trampled on by just anyone.
