Chapter 96: Succubus (4)

The world’s bustling throngs all move for profit; the earth’s restless masses all go where gain leads. Even Gao Shiman could not escape this common desire. Naturally, she wanted to join in the revelry, with a touch of showing off as well. One might ask, in this vineyard so abundant with fruit, how many in the entire world could compare?

The two suddenly poured all their strength into the colossal serpent, a hundred feet long. The blue light surged again, and the serpent’s massive body expanded further, growing more majestic and fierce.

Unwilling to give up on this, though not paying out of her own pocket, she felt it unfair to shortchange Qian.

With just a few steps remaining to the grand hall, Ding Guoguo halted, looking at Su Ziheng who kept talking. She opened her mouth to speak, but he interrupted her immediately.

Watching him crouch slightly, opening the storage cabinet to find his bag, Bai Chi studied him seriously. From this angle, only his sharply defined profile was visible, damp hair clinging to his brow.

To conserve energy as much as possible, the others each found a spot to sit or lie down and rested.

My heart felt like a steamroller had crushed it a dozen times over, utterly shattered. I truly don’t know what I owed Liu Qi in my past life that I must pay with my life this time.

“It’s fine if it’s not traditional, Fangzheng. It doesn’t matter,” she said, her tone still carrying some hesitation.

Perhaps they were truly that hungry, for both agreed this was the best food they had eaten in recent times.

“I want to see what tricks you’re up to. Since I’ve run into you, let’s settle our grudges once and for all!” I said coldly.

Lin Tianran withdrew her attention. Such things were inevitable. Money won from the lottery, no matter how much or little, always seemed like windfall to others. Lin Tianran knew well the nature of these relatives. In her previous life, had they lent even a little help, her family would not have ended up in such misery.

“If the cycle continues, within fifteen years I could purify all my spiritual power!” Liu Xuanhe’s lips curled in a slight smile as he contemplated.

“Why don’t you go back first? I still have some matters to attend to,” Bai Yi said softly, rubbing Yanfei’s fair, delicate hand.

Spending half a tea time to refine it, he then took out a medicine bottle, storing the purified spiritual herb extract within. He sealed it with a barrier to prevent spiritual energy leakage and set it aside.

Tianze was now despondent, head bowed, lost in thought. Bai Yi approached him for a long while, but he showed no reaction.

Bai Yi did not press him. The two wandered leisurely, occasionally exchanging a few words. Yanfei replied casually.

Ignorance or extremity aside, living sacrifices were not uncommon, especially among fishermen and pirates who made their living by the sea.

As footsteps approached, the face emerging from the shadows was indeed the person Qian Daojian had anticipated.

“They are all wrong!” Zhao Hongwei said, then coughed fiercely, struggling to support himself.

When Ning Weiguo returned to the living room, he found his wife Li Meijia squatting by the coffee table, dumbfounded, staring at a black wooden box.

Xia Chen heard Ding San admit to the matter in front of him, and all his displeasure vanished immediately. He knew that if his grandfather saw a piece of calligraphy or painting, he would become very excited at once.

He had even obtained the summoning banner of my wicked disciple, the Supreme Lord, using the flag’s sixteen sides to invent a sixteen-character Qimen Dunjia technique.

Sure enough, Jessica’s voice was like a key unlocking Li Mingqiu’s lock; his consciousness burst forth like a dam breaking.

The reason for such change was that the core of the Heavenly Emperor Seal had awakened intelligence in that mountain.

But you, my dear sister, have taken a liking to my boyfriend! What then becomes of all these years of friendship?

Saying this, he slammed the suggestion paper onto the table, the loud crack resonating through the great hall.

As Tang Hao ascended, he heard various rumors but paid no mind, pressing onward. The path grew ever steeper, and the surrounding mist thickened. Walking the steps felt like treading through clouds.

At this moment, the passing newcomers all smiled faintly at Xia Chen’s words, as if watching a play.

Xia Chen did not even get a chance to express his opinion on the phone before Xu Guoming hung up.

After all, he was engaged now. Matters of love and marriage were meant to be faithful and lasting, weren’t they?

“If we were truly as you imagine, you would be nothing but a corpse by now,” Night Sky spoke before his master could finish, so she wouldn’t misinterpret them as before.

He would not comment on Asakura Yoh traveling to other worlds, but he absolutely refused to let him return to the home he longed for.

“Tank!?” Upon seeing the dark silhouette clearly, Ye Qiang felt his mind falter. A tank weighing dozens of tons descending from the sky? Was he insane or blind? Just as he was filled with questions, a tongue of flame suddenly erupted from the white mist ahead.

With Benzema off the pitch, Real Madrid’s most relied-upon attacker was Cristiano Ronaldo. Now with Ronaldo sent off, only Tang Zheng remained.

Secretly, he had prepared to strike first. This fellow was no good, but neither was he someone to negotiate with—better to act than argue.

The forced-open black hole acted like a vacuum cleaner, generating powerful suction. The raging tornado, tens of meters high, was immediately sucked in as if it had never existed.

Sure enough, when Yun Su’s hand relaxed, she looked at Lin Lei with slight surprise. Could there be some hidden story? Nearby, Yun Zhi also perked up her ears, listening intently.

“Patron Ye, I have something to show you, but it is of utmost importance. Please wait a moment,” the old monk said, turning and entering an inner room. Soon he returned holding a wrapped package.

But as he approached, the assassin suddenly sprang up and struck his temple with a fist, instantly knocking the bodyguard unconscious.

After carrying her onto the horse, Jin Cangling knew this matter could not be suppressed. She had entered the imperial city with such arrogance, catching everyone’s attention. There were bound to be many watching her, both openly and in secret.
