Volume 1, Chapter 40: His Conditions & Her True Heart

"Wow, jam bread! That's my favorite! Thank you, Mommy!" Chu Yuxuan drooped as he looked at the jam bread, grabbed one, and shoved it into his mouth. The sweet and rich taste filled him with boundless happiness.

Many people found themselves breathing rapidly. Even those elders in the Foundation Establishment stage were panting, as this was the first time they realized their sect leader could be so immensely powerful.

From her initial bewilderment upon entering the room to the clearing of the mist in her mind after hearing Cheng Sijin and Hexiang exchange a few brief words, Taoye remained silent on the side, observing the two of them intently.

"Whatever the Great King says, we brothers will remember it well: no beating or scolding the refugees." Imagining that they would soon be able to drink wine and eat meat, everyone agreed to follow every single command of the Great King.

Armed with this discovery, Cheng Sijin immediately pried open the corpse's palm, and sure enough, he saw that Cheng Siyu's palm bore the exact same faint yellow mark.

The more unrestrained Hua Yulin appeared, the more miserable Xie Chong felt. Moreover, mixed into his misery was a lingering resentment toward his mother—compared to Sister Hua, his mother's perspective was truly far too narrow.

Chu Ping felt a chill run through his body at Jiang Qing's words, and he opened his mouth, completely at a loss for what to say.

Belial lacked the firm rebellious will of Satan and Beelzebub, still holding onto illusions about returning to Heaven.

Overwhelmed by this sudden shock, Su Mo and Wang Ming even forgot about the Caster who had already fled, while the sea monsters the latter had unleashed were instantly reduced to fine powder by this torrent of force.

Since having no guarantee of life meant that resolving the system crisis would be entirely pointless anyway, he casually asked, "What kind of cultivation technique is that, and what will it take for you to impart it to me?"

Yet the man known as the Ox-head remained silent, relentlessly swinging his fatal sword at Rushing Hagoromo time and time again.

Though his body was immobilized, Shen Jie was still able to draw upon the Primordial Chaos Foundation to summon Primordial Chaos Qi. The Primordial Chaos Qi erupted around his body, kicking up a powerful wave of air that snapped the surrounding trees in half. However, Duan Jingrui, who was hurtling toward him, was only hindered for a brief fraction of a second before recovering his original momentum and charging forward to cut him down.

"Naturally, the sooner the better. It would be best if it doesn't interfere with the Knight Grand Ceremony," Artoria replied.

"This is too delicious! Aunt Li, your dumplings are so mouthwatering. If I hadn't eaten so much back at the company earlier, I'd definitely be able to finish another plate."

There was no helping it; Notts County's performance was simply too formidable, gradually giving off the impression of being a public enemy to all. Even during the eras of Premier League overlords like Arsenal and Manchester United, there had never been a time quite this arrogant.

Normally, the ball should find its way to Messi's feet or his immediate vicinity through various routes, leaving him to decide how to launch the attack.

The monstrous sea-beast spotted Shen Jie and his companion closing in, abandoned its attack on the Submerging Dragon, and turned to slaughter them instead.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Having long heard of the legendary Anti-Japanese heroes, seeing you all today truly lives up to your extraordinary reputations!" Long Xingyun looked at the several elderly men.

"Ahem, this match goes to Picasso!" Another battle came to an end, and the host uncle proudly declared.

Du Siqi played a very good game of chess, but he focused far too much on the outcome. His killing intent was too heavy, which detracted from the fundamental purpose of chess as a means to cultivate one's character.

Shi Xiaofeng immediately called Jiang Shan and briefly explained the situation. Jiang Shan readily agreed to help and immediately made arrangements to fly from Tokyo to London.

I tugged on Ying'er's arm and hurried away with her, hastily avoiding the line of sight of the guard who had just been speaking with us.

Yu Ying stopped speaking and simply stared at the surveillance screen. "If Li然 can become your test subject, will your experiment succeed?" There was no target in Yu Ying's gaze as she seemingly harbored some ulterior motives.

As the fire grew larger, Lan Kun poured in well water, and before long, it began to bubble and boil. Lan Kun dropped in the noodles, took out a box of ribs and cilantro, and added them to the pot as well.

Master Yucheng's words moved many martial arts practitioners present. One had to know that the Shaolin Temple had long since stopped accepting disciples from the outside. With Master Yucheng openly announcing his intention to take in disciples and pass down his arts at this moment, countless people would undoubtedly throw caution to the wind to join the Shaolin sect and acquire formidable skills at any cost.

Marie was so angered by the swan that she was nearly rendered speechless, but after a pause, she suddenly threw her head back and burst into hearty laughter.

Yet for the sake of achieving perfection in his Dao heart, Xian Kuang would never harbor fear; on the contrary, he would embrace it to fulfill himself.

"You say your Prince has been out of the manor for three days?" Yun Weiyang asked again in disbelief.

"Rest assured, once Yun Tu is dead, this Palace Master will certainly spare the members of the Tanyin Sect. If the Tanyin Sect refuses to submit, this Palace Master will still not drive them to total extinction!" Bai Zhiyi smiled.

Everything before his eyes instantly filled Lin Xiao with a sense of wonder, while also inspiring deep admiration for Xian Kuang's painstaking efforts.

The spiritual energy of the entire Buddhist realm rushed into Hu Ao's body at a terrifying speed, and Hu Ao acted just like an insatiable black hole, ravenously devouring this boundless energy.

The Primeval Great Heavenly Demon Emperor sneered and took a deep breath. The demon soul of the Demon Empress was instantly drawn into his body like a wisp of smoke, and his slightly ethereal body, formed by black divine radiance, instantly solidified until it was completely indistinguishable from a flesh-and-blood person.

Yet would Xian Kuang simply give up? Of course not. He was an extremely proud individual, and in this lifetime, his only defeat had come at the hands of Lin Xiao. If he could not wash away this humiliation, his Dao heart would likely never attain perfection.

Not expecting Hu Ao to strike so suddenly, the defiant deity was thankfully prepared, shifting his immortal infant to his left hand while raising his right arm to block Hu Ao's side kick.

Those escorted back to the tribe were initially robust and strong, but after undergoing the naturalization ceremony, they gradually wasted away to skin and bones. Some could not even last a month before becoming someone else's rations.

Fang Zhaoshen desperately tried to staunch the bleeding from his neck, but wounds inflicted by immortal artifacts were far from easy to heal.

Nanli was not like Zhongning; it lacked familiar places, and the only destination left for him was the clan estate.

As a young master born to wealth and prominence, what fine treasures had he not laid eyes on? A single personal piece of jade was worth upwards of a hundred million, so what could a pathetic, primitive tribe possibly possess that would make him want to risk his life?

Being able to see Chen Yanxi eating with such relish once again drove all of Tu Jianfeng's unhappiness and suspicions straight to the back of his mind.

Now the wiretap was damaged as well, and given Xu Xiao's temperament, he would surely inform Su Qinghan of the news. When that time came, Su Qinghan would surely retaliate against him.

Because they had climbed the mountain later and were affected by the terrain, shooting arrows from bottom to top had a terribly low efficiency. Moreover, the main enemy force had already detected this stealth force striking from behind and began mobilizing tribesmen from elsewhere in an attempt to encircle and annihilate these six hundred-odd warriors.

Lin Guangfa's miserable state was so painful to witness that even Liu Dachu, peeking from outside the door, winced in sympathy. After clicking his tongue twice and sucking on his teeth, Liu Dachu resumed watching with relish.
