Zhao Mingyue was so furious that she wanted to smash the phone in her hand. After taking several deep breaths, she opened WeChat and sent Jin Zhongyuan a message: “Zhongyuan, are you angry? At this point, I truly had no choice. I hope you can understand me.

“Master Yuanguang is more anxious than anyone else, and more eager than anyone else to find a successor who can inherit everything he has learned.”

Liu Tianyu had seen disgusting things before, but never anything this revolting. He could not help bending over and gagging.

Of course, the “departure” referred to here did not mean that the other party had allowed the two of them to return home. He had merely let Liu Tianyu and Zhou Ruolan leave the airport. By then, because of the delay caused by this matter, the flight to China had already taken off.

“Your mother and the others have been through this before. They should know what they’re talking about. She’s probably pregnant. Come on—Director Sun is waiting,” Liu Jinsong replied.

“Sir, you’re joking.” Bai He rubbed his nose. Recalling everything that had happened over the past few days, he felt somewhat embarrassed. Privately, he thought, If you had told me sooner that you were Li Bai, I would have come running to cling to your coattails. Why would I have waited until now?

Especially after leaving the world of One Piece, the artificial Devil Fruits—in fact, all Devil Fruits—had somehow lost their weakness of becoming powerless upon contact with water.

Some time ago, on the day of her twenty-first birthday, she accepted an advertisement for a housing development. To her surprise, she was asked to play the mother of a nine-year-old child. That made her realize how brief an entertainer’s career could be. Perhaps she would be better off changing to another line of work.

Qian Kun straightened up and hurriedly asked, “What time is the flight?” He wanted to explain everything clearly to Lin Ling before she left.

Seeing how determined Liu Rumei was, the man reached out, heartbroken, intending to touch her hair—but unexpectedly…

Everyone present raised their nonexistent wine cups and silently recited, “The warriors who slew Heaven,” before bowing deeply.

Horror flashed through Duan Shengjie’s eyes. He retreated at lightning speed, immediately separating himself from Duan Yuhai, and stared blankly at his left hand.

“Father.” When Xu Xin reached the stone table, she took Chu Yun by the arm and called out. Xu Guanjia said nothing more, simply walking behind Xu Jin and standing there in silence.

It was another anguished moan from Mo Xin that jolted Zhong Hou awake. He hurriedly steadied his mind, and the long needle once again began its advance. The Imperial Guards’ morale had already fallen back to rock bottom, but at last it was pulled up again. Fortunately, their reserves of fighting strength remained intact, and the battle finally ended in victory for the Imperial Guards.

Zhan Qi walked to the table and sat down. He poured himself a cup of water and said nothing, merely drinking slowly.

“As long as you obey my orders, I won’t hurt you. Remember, don’t try anything clever. My strength is beyond your imagination. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here,” Bai Da said.

Du Hesheng struck with his palm, knocking away several hidden weapons fired by Wu Shuangshuang. He then turned and came to Murong Xun’s side, raising his palm to attack. Murong Xun hurriedly withdrew, retreating several steps, and shot the silver needles in her hand. With a sweep of his palm, Du Hesheng’s force sent the needles flying.

He turned his head and gazed at Chen Yuzhi’s nearly perfect profile. A faint smile suddenly curved his lips. Then he closed his eyes and sank heavily into sleep.

She had once said that if Gou’er could not become an official, she would tell him whether or not she wanted to be with him.

“Damn you, Hubert! You’ve been my adjutant for three years, and you still don’t understand the meaning of courtesy before force?” While cursing furiously, the sheriff forced a warm smile onto his face and walked toward the door.

Fortunately, he had not used his full strength when he leaped out just now. Otherwise, if he had bounded straight to the office entrance in a single breath, covering more than ten meters, it would have been rather difficult to explain.

Chen Sumei hurriedly pointed toward the center of the river while the pointer was still within her control.

That was true enough. Mr. Ghost had been absent from the Southern Region for a thousand years; it was only natural that some changes would have taken place during that time.

Under Modi’s leadership, everyone shouted and surged forward, forcing the soldiers aside. Sidney, who no longer had a single person beside him, saw Modi behind him, his face covered in blood, and let out a cry of alarm. At that point, he could no longer worry about preserving the dignity of a king and began sprinting wildly toward the rear door of the council chamber.

Aite nodded and was just about to speak when Zhuli, who was closest to Tanya, spoke first. A murderous glint flashed through Aite’s eyes. Naturally, that glint did not escape Tanya, who had been carefully observing everyone in the room from the beginning.

Now that they knew Qi Cai might have taken in such a famous star, everyone felt excited. They could not help thinking that he was truly remarkable.

She looked at her dust-covered clothes and the scorched hem. For all she knew, her face had been blackened by smoke as well. She must look terribly disheveled now.

No one believed what he said, but that did not matter. Juzi was a witness too. As long as she was willing to tell the story, the surrounding students would certainly be astonished—and would then acknowledge, truly and completely, that I was an adventurer.

Qi Cai had already planned everything out. At that moment, he returned on his sword with the two grand commanders, arriving back at the Apocalypse Sect before long.

The effective range of the Flying Needle Technique had also increased. Like the effective radius of the Clairvoyant Eye, it was now three thousand meters.

“Doctor Hu?” After several calls, Dr. Hu finally came back to himself. He had actually been lost in thought—something unimaginable in the past. With a trace of weariness, he rubbed his brow to clear his mind.

Yet without exception, they were all dressed in rags. Some pooled their money to buy food, while others intended to skip the bill, but most abandoned the idea under the landlady’s fierce watchfulness. After all, they were illegal immigrants.

“I imagine they’re all busy treating patients and have no way of receiving the news immediately. Let’s first…” Wang Ping’an said uncertainly.

He had used his own reputation to persuade Wang Wei to concoct medicine for Du Xiuyong, yet Du Xiuyong had turned around and tried to arrest Wang Wei. He was clearly trampling his dignity underfoot.

On the way, Ouyang Yiyi wondered: How can I keep this tiger, locked inside its cage, from ever hurting anyone? Aside from pulling out its fangs and claws, the best solution would be to make it disappear forever.

The Heavenly Venerable did not grow angry. Instead, he laughed. Seeing the two men’s indifferent expressions, he showed them even less mercy and brought his palm crashing down.

“Are you trying to show off the strength of the Nameless Kingdom’s naval forces?” Li Ye asked half-jokingly.
