Chapter 25

Guo Changxin was overjoyed. Wu Er lang's idea was simply brilliant. Having county Party committee and government staff come forward would lend it a certain degree of credibility; the common people would not suspect the risks involved with the funds. Most importantly, he could use the raised funds without bearing any risk himself.

Chu Hen raised his gaze, his heart giving a slight jolt. The outline of that figure looked strangely familiar.

Looking down from above, the deep, dark abyss below was like some ancient monstrosity with its jaws wide open, waiting for prey to come to it.

Zhao Qingyi glanced disdainfully at Ye Yao, who was about the same age as her, and snorted with contempt.

A powerful sword cry rang out between heaven and earth. Dust swirled, petals danced, and in the next instant, a tangible blue-green sword radiance slashed toward them.

Just as Wang Yiniang had said, the next day Bai Yiniang delivered some tonic soup to Yang Jiuhuai. When she returned, she swaggered into the courtyard where Yu Handan lived and directly ordered someone to lock her in the rear wing, forbidding her from coming out normally.

If Mo Qingli had not taken it away, the Heart of Netherfire Heavenly Thunder would either have been taken by someone else or gradually dissipated into heaven and earth along with Lei Yuan's remains.

Jin Mian was unwilling to be an unsung hero too; only an idiot would do that. She nodded at Yaqi, considering the favor repaid, then pulled Sisi into the mall. Yaqi gave them a complicated look before turning and leaving.

That man had never seen an Amarans so furious in his life. Amarans were supposed to be a gentle race. But perhaps, no matter how gentle they were, people still chose revenge when faced with the deep hatred of extermination.

Shen Hongxuan had originally planned to stay for seven days, but after the main meeting on the first day and meeting Mi Silie that evening, there was no need to remain any longer. Shen Hongxuan got into a taxi. S City would be turned upside down again tomorrow. Thinking of Sun Miao, Shen Hongxuan sneered. Who was really giving whom a surprise? He was truly looking forward to it.

So there was no chance of the guests enthusiastically shaking hands, cheering, or even hugging like they did on ordinary variety shows.

"Master, this old bastard is too powerful. If we fight him head-on, there's only death." Wu'er's voice from within the Azure Evil Sword was vivid and lifelike. Qi Xuanyi naturally understood, but the Skeleton True Man had already completely sealed off his escape routes. Reaching the cold pond appeared to be only a hundred zhang away, but it was incomparably difficult.

After leaving the Jade Emperor's bedchamber, Tan Chen kept wondering what Taibai Jinxing had wanted to secretly discuss with the Jade Emperor, something that required avoiding him. As he walked, Tan Chen vaguely felt that Taibai Jinxing and the Jade Emperor had been plotting something concerning him. What could it be? No matter how much Tan Chen thought about it, he could not figure it out.

While pursuing Long Jingyun, Kavize had also openly warned the other male students that anyone who wanted to court Long Jingyun had to defeat him first.

She wore a somewhat oversized gray trench coat. Her long, smooth black hair fell over her shoulders, and her exquisite figure was as graceful as a painting.

"This will cost me a morning's worth of sleep, but it's fine. Sunday is almost here, so I can make up for it then."

Manager Yang, the general manager of Datang who had followed them over, glanced at the troublemaker a few times. He always felt that this fellow playing President Duan Zhaofang was incredibly awkward.

"Did it go smoothly?" Ivana, dressed in a white two-piece silk nightgown, wiped the water from her hands as she sat beside Andy. She opened her mouth to eat the strawberry Andy held to her lips, then asked softly.

"How many gold coins will the upgrade consume?" Tan Chen had not expected the Farm System to upgrade just like that, but to avoid repeating the last time when all his gold coins had been used up, he felt it was better to ask.

Even Emperor Zhaohe, who lay unconscious in Chengde Hall, had not told him "Well answered" when he personally named him top scholar in Taiji Hall.

But the most pressing issue now was not how to avoid the giant snake, but how to escape it completely. Otherwise, the two of them would eventually run out of strength.

"Then let's wish you an early promotion to senior doctor." Zhexingsun laughed heartily. Having a senior doctor in the guild meant they would not have to spend money on all kinds of medicine, and they could build connections with major hospitals and research institutes. When the time came, guild members would also pay much less for treatment.

The Evil Race had actually entered the cave already. The radar's detection range was limited; who knew whether there were more people behind them? These two assassins were like corpses. From the time I walked toward them until I entered the dirt path, even their breathing did not change. If I rashly charged over like this, the enemy would be hidden while I was exposed. Even if I didn't die, I'd lose a layer of skin.

"Hmph, whatever your reasons, nearly causing my death is not something that can be settled easily. How do you intend to answer for it? Otherwise, I won't hesitate to fight you." Xia Zixuan spoke forcefully, determined to demand an explanation for himself.

Lin Tian hurried over, only to find that Zhang Biao was bold enough to make a move even with so many people watching.

In the next moment, Shen Bingjie moved onto the lake's surface and thrust both palms forward. When the spiritual power within her had fully gathered, she let out a sharp cry and suddenly raised her palms. At once, five colors of light—green, red, purple, gold, and white—lit up again. Her gaze remained fixed on the cave. As she drew closer, the shadow grew ever clearer.

But everyone soon realized that they were heading straight for Xia Zixuan's table. Upon arriving, they did not speak immediately, merely sizing Xia Zixuan up.

That's right, this young man was Liu Tianli. Although Liu Tianli's physical body had been destroyed, his soul would not dissipate. When he had first arrived at the Lone Wolf Assassin Group, Jiang Chen had quickly found a secret chamber and reconstructed Liu Tianli's body, all to prevent any unexpected situations.

"Master, on my way back, I heard that the Demon Breath Sacred Clan of the Northern Territory and the Netherworld Ghost Bureau have both emerged. Each has sent four teams out of the Northern Territory, with an elder leading each team, but their purpose remains unknown." Feng Xiaotian bowed to the Lord of Tianshu Peak as he spoke.

Manager Liu immediately had someone print business cards. He had matters to attend to and drove away in a hurry, but before leaving, he gave Ye Bai an exquisite tea set and two boxes of fine tea.

"Should we step back first? What if they start fighting and accidentally injure us?" someone asked worriedly.

Thunder rumbled through the air as energy lights shot in every direction, churning the clouds into chaos and making everything impossible to see clearly. Lü Tao was fighting dozens of Boundless Mountain Daoists, and for the moment, neither side had gained the upper hand. Neither side could spare the effort to interfere with the battle taking place outside Pingcheng Airport below.

With Sister-in-law Wang taking the lead and everyone eager to watch the excitement, they followed into the Lu Residence together without even waiting for Su Mingyue to speak.

When Cheng Ruan was absent, Shen Yuan had been glad that she had not rejected his choice. But when Cheng Ruan appeared again, he finally understood just how deeply he depended on her. It was a bond he could never sever, trust forged through shared honor and disgrace, through lives intertwined.
