Volume 1, Chapter 42: Papayas and Flowers Both Rise in Price

Seeing her genuinely angry, the three were instantly struck with terror, their faces draining of color. They knew well that the most powerful loli was no person of reason, nor was she one to consider the consequences of her actions.

The subsequent journey would be entirely the responsibility of the Hagel Corporation; once they cleared the Struva Sea, the Havas Legion’s mission would be considered complete.

The lightning whirlwind continued forward for a few more meters before finally collapsing and dissipating two meters away from Lu Tianyu. A wail escaped Yaya as she was flung high into the air, only to descend and crash heavily onto the spot where the whirlwind had ceased.

Lu Tianyu had not expected him to be capable of further boosting his power and speed. By the time he reacted, his ribs, which had just finished mending, were shattered once again. Not only that, but at almost the same moment, Muxili seized his hands, and with two consecutive "crack" sounds and Lu Tianyu’s agonizing scream, snapped his arms.

"He was right. I am a member of the Sun family; even if I wanted to run, there is no escaping it." Sun Qian felt a whirlwind of emotions. How could he not understand that his parents refused to acknowledge him only in the hope that he might evade this catastrophe?

"My brother is as straightforward as ever. Business is a matter of mutual consent, after all; there is no such thing as forced buying or selling. So, even if the deal doesn't go through, we remain friends!" said the warlord Bai Ze.

Forty minutes later, Marcus Freeman, flushed with wine, had enjoyed many a glass. The people at the table had left one by one, yet the chips before him were piled high like a mountain. He sighed from time to time, seemingly still unsatisfied, possessed by the lonely sentiment of one who has no equal in battle.

Murong Yan’er had considered Chen Ling the most barbaric person she had ever met, but now she finally understood what it meant to find someone even more formidable beyond the horizon; someone far more savage than Chen Ling had appeared.

At the same time, Xuan Tian and Xuan Di from the Southwest Second Division hurried toward the east side of Yuannan City.

What a joke. Such a monster was like a mad dog, biting anyone it saw, and so terrifying at that. How could I possibly let Keyan and the others take such a risk? As Li Liangxuan emerged, I immediately began chanting the incantations of the Five Ghosts Technique.

"You're always like this..." Chuchu glared at me in disappointment, made a pinching gesture, then turned away, naturally leaning her back against me, staring motionlessly at the blackboard the old man had temporarily hung on the wall.

However, the contents of the tomb chamber had been almost entirely cleared out. Even the coffin had vanished into thin air, and as for the vanity, it had been reduced to nothing more than a stone platform. There was nothing left on it.

Compared to the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, the Demon Moon was more severely wounded. Under the impact of the explosion, she vomited blood and stumbled backward, falling toward the direction where Young Master Mu was.

"Are you ever going to stop?" I stared at him, my anger flaring up instantly. I truly regretted not having a weapon in my hand; had I one, I would have smashed it onto Wu Junxi’s forehead without a second thought.

Sealing the bottle and patting it with satisfaction, she didn't even glance at the man lying on the ground, turned around, and retraced her steps.

Viscount vampires are the lowest rank among vampires, comparable to an acquired-stage expert among practitioners of the Huaxia martial arts.

Xia Jinyuan was thoroughly infuriated by this statement. "Don't even think about it," he roared.

He slowly moved his body off the bed, turned off the bedside lamp, and tiptoed out of his son’s room.

Cheng Wanli had explained the reasoning clearly, and the people felt a glimmer of hope, all agreeing to the plan for the time being.

"What the hell..." Monkey raised his head, subconsciously glancing down at the two massive mounds of flesh.

"Did you not hear me? Kill her, kill her!" Madam Luo’s shrill scream echoed through the forest.

Returning to Weiyang Palace, Changning hurriedly took out the map, flattened it with a jade paperweight, and began a careful inspection.

As their own software, WeChat was a must-use, and even for those who didn't use it, Liu Shuo had notified them in advance to install it, as he intended to distribute red envelopes through the app.

Worried for Lu Zhishen’s safety, and incensed by Zhang Qing’s actions, the Liangshan men were provoked. Xu Ning, without waiting for Li Jin’s command, spurred his horse and charged out of the formation.

The night passed without incident. The chieftains on the mountain discussed the aftermath in the Assembly Hall, and Li Jin specifically ordered Huyan Zhuo, Han Tao, and Peng to be invited as well. The three sat at the lowest end on the left, right next to Ling Zhen.

Lady Shen was single-mindedly focused on rescuing Fang Qian from prison. Now that Changning had provided such a golden opportunity, she was already overflowing with gratitude that she hadn't forgotten to save Fang Qian even on the eve of her wedding.

If sweet talk were useful, she would certainly have a boyfriend by now. Given her beauty, there must be no shortage of suitors, and surely many must have whispered sweet nothings to her.

Seeing these prompts, the one thing Su Xia wanted to know most was the extent of the area shielded by the consumption of his authority. If it were merely to shield the area where the Void Seat Banquet was held, it would be unnecessary.

Whether he dared to go to the Medicine God Sect to demand people or collect debts was one thing, but he would have no psychological burden in causing trouble for the Sun family. If he found out that Sun Shifei was reneging on his debts and fleeing, it would be no surprise if he flew into a rage and wiped out the Sun family with a sweep of his sword, just as he had done in the past to the Bai family of Dijing and the Lin family of Mangshan.

Suddenly, two dark figures rose from the shadows of the large tree, vaulting several meters high, and landed lightly on the topmost branches.

Moreover, the Western world had long since treated this region as a playground; they would come here to spar whenever they pleased. With countless terrorist organizations hiding here, combined with the fact that it was a place every arms dealer coveted, the complexity of the situation in this land was second to none in the world.

This left Lan Xuanzhi, hovering high in the sky, trembling with fear. The next moment, he looked toward the wood clone atop the mountain with a solemn expression. He had just seen that there was no fluctuation of primordial spiritual energy around the clone’s body at all, yet it had unleashed such a shocking blow. It was clear that its cultivation was far beyond his own.
