Chapter 45

Xia Shiguang subconsciously shook her head, and immediately wondered: If she said she liked Li Yiran, would Gu Chen leave this place in a fit of anger?

With their appetites fully satisfied, looking out through the nearby window, not far away stood a magnificent and breathtaking tall building constructed from colorful spiritual wood. It was at least seven stories high, with every piece of spiritual wood carved with floral patterns. Pink gauze curtains draped down from the upper levels, fluttering in the air and exuding an alluring charm.

Yun Daozi then produced a sharp dagger, cut a bloody piece of flesh from his only intact arm, and placed it on a tray for meticulous study.

Moreover, Li Mo had promised that once the mission was accomplished, they would be granted their freedom, and each of them would be rewarded with ten high-grade spiritual beast pills, on the condition that all tasks were completed before dawn. If they failed to complete them, everyone would be burned to death.

Listening to Jun Yan's words, Qiu Luo could not help but offer a bitter smile, finally nodding and withdrawing his hand. Only then did Jun Yan turn his head back to meet his gaze once again.

He had thought Xia Shiguang's return would be the conclusion, but he never expected that this was merely the beginning of another tangled mess.

Jun Yan remained utterly indifferent, continuing his descent until the giant net fell upon him and triggered a violent reaction with the golden spiritual flames. A low groan, seemingly of pain, escaped from the fire-transformed figure of Jun Yan. Yet, his momentum was not checked, and he pressed on with his actions.

Those decorations were one thing, but she had been saving those fire crystals, waiting for them to age sufficiently to become high-grade fire crystals before harvesting them from the snowy mountains. Now, the two of them had completely uprooted the lot of them—just how many years of growth had been wasted?

Their greatest resentment and reluctance stem from the fear that once my father retires, the Liu family's power and influence will become negligible.

Peng Mo frowned slightly. Until Wei Yingran's background and details were thoroughly investigated, she could not let down her guard. She briefly recounted the conversation from their meeting at the Wangyue Tower.

"Very well, go and discuss with Colonel William. We will take the route via Xiamen to attend to some private matters," Zai Xun instructed.

The ground was smashed into a massive crater, dust billowed high into the air, and simultaneously, the mournful cry of a savage beast echoed across the sky.

A Two-Star Martial Zun! Unassuming as Kang Shao might look, he was actually a powerful expert at the Two-Star Martial Zun realm.

Slowly raising his head, he gazed up at the coffer-shaped coiled dragon stone carving on the ceiling of the grand hall. From the tips of his crimson hair, a streak of silver-white gradually spread outward.

Tian He remained silent, staring fixedly at Chen Yi, before the vital energy within his body began to surge violently. Anyone could tell that he was ready to strike at any absolute moment.

"However, I won't have you anymore, you worn-out shoe ruined by others!" The man turned toward his wife instead and said, "Don't make a spectacle of yourself here, get lost and go home with me!" With that, he strode away haughtily.

"I, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Lu Tong feigned extreme agony, her eyes continuously stealing glances at Fei Liangyan not far away.

Just as despair and suppression gripped the ancient city, Yun Feng chuckled softly and took a single step forward. With that very stride, an overwhelming and peerless aura instantly tore outward. In a flash, the sky was split in half, forcefully beating back the evil clouds!

Watching the recovering Shi Yan, the man in black cast a grateful look toward Xue Ling, and Xue Ling simply smiled in acknowledgment.

Yet all these actions of his were witnessed with absolute clarity by his subordinates gathered in the hall.

Rorschach sighed. It seemed that no clues regarding "The Believers" or the resurrection of "Jason" could be obtained from Agent David.

Yet years later, what Mu Wanting never expected was that Mu Jiaojiao would ultimately become her greatest adversary on the path of political power. It was precisely because she had been deceived by Mu Jiaojiao's seemingly gentle exterior that she would suffer a crushing defeat down the road.

No matter how innocent and pure their backgrounds and appearances might be when they first entered the profession of courtesans, in the eyes of outsiders, they were forever tainted with a blemish.

"Humph! Rest assured, I won't kill her. It's just that if she refuses to obey, I will make her wish she were dead..." Mr. Xie said coldly.

Yet he knew deep down that at this stage, it was utterly impossible to turn the tides today; his only option was to escape first and plan his next move later.

Unable to wake Feng LiuMo and unable to simply abandon him out in the courtyard, Xing Yue exerted a tremendous amount of effort to drag him back to Niyue Pavilion.

With a flash of madness in his eyes, Song Yan abruptly shifted the direction of his attack and lunged fiercely at Igor.

With that, Mu Enxi raised her head to look out the window, discovering that today's sky was exceptionally blue, offering a clear and cloudless view even in the dead of winter.

However, Tan Xiang did not dwell on it, simply assuming that Xing Yue possessed some self-awareness and dared not act wildly within the Prince Fuqing's Manor, otherwise she would come to no good end.

After all, in the eyes of Chen Ru and the others, Ji Yanqing had been bullied miserably enough by her and would definitely seek revenge against her.

The tomb chambers were entirely constructed from cyan bricks. Aside from the stone coffin, Xiao Chen also noticed countless apertures pointing directly toward the stone door.

"Sister, I didn't cause trouble this time. For your sake, I didn't even kill that fellow; I just made him write a self-criticism letter," he hurriedly explained.

He ranted and raved incoherently for a while before wandering forward again, muttering incomprehensibly to himself.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunfei felt deeply unsettled after being interrogated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Judging by the tone of their questions, they seemed to suspect that he was the one who had obtained the inspection report through Jiang Xiangyang. Shen Yunfei explained repeatedly, though he had no idea whether the Discipline Inspection Commission believed him or not.

Chen Wangsheng paid no heed to what the creature was doing; he drew his Luolan Bow and unleashed several consecutive arrows at the elite monster that had already gone to retrieve its weapon.

This was because Meng Xingluan was not riding an ordinary bus at all, but rather a supernatural bus exclusively meant for ghosts and spirits.

Need it be said that from the very beginning, the moment she laid eyes on the crowd, she immediately singled out Yuan Ye as not human—no wait, should she say not an ordinary human?

The courtyard walls were covered in lush greenery, flowers and plants of various colors were neatly arranged throughout the courtyard, and even the wild grass growing in the corners had been trimmed into a semblance of order.
