Volume 1, Chapter 64: Making Things Difficult for Women, Loving Men?

However, Cao Yue did not subject Vian to any interrogation, knowing full well that under such circumstances, the white man was incapable of speaking normally.

"Fifty million," Shen Caidie said without concealing anything, directly stating the price demanded by the other party.

Mother Guo said nothing more. Trusting that her biological son undoubtedly had his own purposes, she settled her mind, sat quietly on the stool, and felt the warmth brought by the sunlight falling upon her back.

The meteoric iron chains slammed heavily onto the ground. Xingtian breathed like an ox, the golden runes gradually fading away, just as the duration of the Yellow Turban Warrior talisman expired.

"Let's go, let's head to the city gate and take a look. If the gates are truly locked, there is no way we can get out!" Yang Fei said.

At this moment, he was unexpectedly wearing... a down jacket. Yes, Yu Hao's spatial storage contained a vast array of items. He had only purchased it after hearing Li Zhe and the others recount their encounters in other worlds, figuring they might be transported to any kind of climate at any time.

Baima Jun had learned about the acting job on the exact same day as everyone else. Had he known in advance, he would have flat-out refused, but now, not only had he accepted the role, but filming was set to begin in just a couple of days. No matter how good Baima Jun's temper usually was, he was somewhat annoyed now.

Had she known it was merely a warning coupled with a confinement penalty, she undoubtedly would have made an even bigger fuss.

Reyna placed the spirit mirror in her hand into the slot. A burst of light radiated outward, and the stone statue actually split, slowly sliding apart to the sides to reveal a downward passageway in the ground.

Ye Shanshan took the initiative to lower her head, apologizing to the elderly woman who had been injured in the collision, actively paying for the medical expenses, and offering generous compensation. In short, Ye Shanshan had suddenly become exceptionally well-behaved, and all her arrogant bluster had completely vanished.

"Hmph, Sister, you have no idea. While you were away, Brother Yuchi bullied me." Jin Li blinked her watery, innocent eyes, carrying her innocence to the end, vowing to seek justice for herself.

Having said this, Li Ningyu seemed about to leave, but after a moment of thought, he added, "If everything turns out to my complete satisfaction, I wouldn't mind ordering two more ships at the same time!"

"That's right. Whoever dares to touch a single strand of Mengqi's hair, regardless of who they are, I will surely kill them." When Qiu Shaoze uttered these words, the aura surrounding his entire body underwent a drastic transformation.

What he said was identical to what Yan Bin had expressed. Heh, I never knew I possessed such a magnetic pull.

With a forward dive, she landed securely right into Chu Lingfeng's arms, not forgetting to grope his chest a couple of times. The refreshing scent of peach blossoms rushed toward her, and Zhong Qing took full advantage of the situation. Chu Lingfeng wanted to push her away, but fearing she would cry even harder, he had no choice but to let it be. This junior sister of his was truly inscrutable.

This was precisely why Qiu Shaoze had not brought Shang Mengqi along. If Shang Mengqi knew he was coming to Allure, heaven knows what kind of comedic chaos might ensue.

Every single detail and event of the past played back in Qiu Shaoze's mind, replaying the experiences of the last twenty-some years in their entirety.

The base commander stammered and hesitated, then looked toward the chief of staff beside him. However, receiving the same stuttering silence and inability to speak, Li Ningyu's expression shifted into one of fierce anger. "Up to standard! What kind of standard have you met when you don't even know what it is!"

To Xiao Rang's pleasant surprise, this time when the soul poison flared up, his cultivation base remained intact, which left him somewhat puzzled. Could it be that when Ao Li's former vassal king had executed the Soul-Seizing Great Art on him, it resulted in him absorbing the soul? Or had the efficacy of the soul poison diminished?

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, not only the members of the Cao family but even those in the Freedom Alliance descended into total chaos. Elder Jin, after all, was the chief elder of the Freedom Alliance and had made numerous contributions to it. To have him simply eliminated just like that—how could anyone accept this?

As it happened, a gust of wind blew outside the window, causing the flower-guarding bells hanging under the eaves to emit a string of crisp, tinkling sounds that startled her into abruptly opening her eyes. Mother Ding had practically cleared away all the flowers and trees in Jixiang Courtyard, yet she had left the flower-guarding bells hanging beneath the eaves untouched.

Bizhu was startled. She had clearly opened the money chest earlier without a key, so what did she need a key for now? With a trace of apprehension, she unclasped the key and handed it over.

Before Emma, the three of them had no privacy whatsoever. Philip felt a wave of terror in his heart at that moment as he watched the movements of Eric's hands as Eric sat upon the sofa.

Li Ye had not expected this fellow to grow so bold after just a few months apart. However, what was going on here?

The officer nodded. Setting aside the question of why he needed to buy so much oil, everyone in the hall believed that by procuring such a massive quantity of bullets, Jiang Liushi was preparing to venture outside the city.

Two months after the Summit War, the Four Seas completely submitted. The High School of the Dead world also began exporting various talents in large numbers to the One Piece world to help establish a new order and drive the development of the Four Seas.

After subduing this counterfeit alien, a wristband flew straight out from beside Bruce and instantly locked onto the alien's wrist. Immediately, a fine needle on the wristband pierced directly into the fellow's wrist, executing its function.

At this point, the crowd could no longer bear it. It was akin to watching a film right at its climax, only for the power to suddenly cut out—that agonizing feeling of being left suspended halfway was the most tormenting of all.

The effect of the [Phoenix's Tears] was comparable to a Senzu Bean; no matter how severe the injuries were, as long as the person was not dead, a single drop would instantly restore them to health. Even in the eyes of Demon King-tier powerhouses, this was a rare and precious treasure.

Yet what else could be done? The money that had been donated was not easily taken back! If word of this got out, where would his face as a board member go? Where would the Wanda Group's reputation go?

Even though Ye Kai possessed numerous methods, when facing cultivators at the mid and late Foundation Establishment stages, he still distinctly felt a tiny bit of pressure.

"Sigh, yes, yes. Mission guaranteed to be completed!" Hong Sanle hissed through his teeth as he took on the assignment.

"The past is the past, better left unmentioned. Returning to your abilities—space and time—have you not realized that your abilities correspond precisely to the very essence of this universe?"

No one went so far as to manipulate the match pairings anymore, as everyone possessed a certain backing, and doing such a thing intentionally would inevitably invite gossip and criticism.

Just over ten minutes into the match, Mengrol discovered this fact, and all the subsequent developments were, in his eyes, merely matters of natural progression.
