Chapter 23

"I once made a pact with your father: if a day of dire emergency should arise, this golden blade could be used to unlock a great secret. By rights, this was a task meant for me."

Their loyalty is clearly visible, far more reassuring to Qi Tian-shou than the people of this world.

One can only imagine the turbulent storm raging within Gustav right now. Treasures collected over a lifetime destroyed in the time it takes to eat a meal—no one could remain calm under such circumstances.

"Win? Let's talk about winning after it happens." Cai Yong shook his head. Seeing Wang Hao's slight frame, he was certain he would be defeated in the back, with no possibility of victory.

"Hmph, get lost. Don't try to cozy up to me calling me 'big brother.' Let me tell you, I don't buy that act. There are too many fakers like you; just go back to where you came from." The guard of the Great Tang Government Office, who had been speaking to the Swordsman just a moment ago, said with a look of disdain.

It is easy to imagine that the inner demon of the now-corrupted Gambler Leader was the frustration of having gained nothing at all.

Feng Lin shrugged with a smile. Chi and Mei were the first ones he had met, followed by Xu and Chou; back then, those four had even hunted him down.

The old man was overjoyed upon hearing this. He shook his bell frantically, and suddenly, all those corpses lined up in a row.

Zheng Ping was still rolling on the ground at this moment, yet he had no wounds on his body—only the single strike he had received from Feng Lin earlier.

White Moon Mountain is the southernmost point of the Demon Realm. It is called White Moon because it is a rare snow-capped mountain, covered in deep snow all year round.

But just as he reached out, a sudden sense of confusion flooded his mind, and a fragment of memory flashed repeatedly in his thoughts.

Xiao Yun'er slowly turned around and saw a face as handsome and familiar as always, that face still bearing a doting smile.

The lama merely stood to the side, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, offering no answer to Professor Yang's questions. That was the last time Professor Yang saw the lama; he never appeared again, and one could only wonder if the lama had known the consequences or remained ignorant.

"Liu Chuan, we have arrived. Let's go down first! I'll go in and announce us!" Lu Feng reminded him.

I thought to myself, "Are you kidding? This mansion was left behind by demons? Have the three of us been working this hard just to rescue Elder Tang?"

In the sky, cleansed by the heavy rain, a beautiful arc hung suspended, refracting illusory gradients of color.

Wei Zheng's mother was Western and his father was Eastern; he was a person of mixed heritage. Most people of mixed blood are born with great beauty, and Wei Zheng was no exception.

Even after three years, whenever the scandal that rocked the entire city back then was mentioned, Emperor Xiaojing's expression remained incredibly grim.

"Here, this is for you." The rugged youth flipped his palm and took a long sword out from his spatial ring.

Regardless of her own mood, if Ye Chen was truly that wealthy, then the situation on her eldest sister's side could be considered resolved. At the very least, they wouldn't be troubled by money matters concerning her sister.

"Hehe, of course they will. Look at the way these girls are eyeing you; do you think they would refuse? Being caught up in today's mess actually worked out in their favor!" Mo Qingyu smiled and said.

"Shang Ning bought a villa for you today to curry favor with his future father-in-law. Here are the keys." Ma Ling'er took out the keys and handed them to Ma Zitian.

It is just like looking for a partner: some people appear to be kings on the surface, but are actually trash inside. Time will prove everything.

To call it difficult is, of course, accurate, but to call it simple—it is really just a matter of transplanting a somatic cell nucleus into a germ cell or an undifferentiated stem cell to reactivate its differentiation potential.

However, affected by the seawater at this moment, Fanculiford had become limp and powerless, unable to manifest his strength at all.

In fact, even without Reiju's cooperation, the process by which Ma Qiao orchestrated the alliance between the Germa 66 and the Buggy Pirates went quite smoothly.

Sun Siming, who was sitting to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile flashing across his lips. Based on his understanding of Lin Jie over these past days, this guy would never commit to something without sufficient confidence.

"So you're not stupid, just not obviously clever?" The honest man who had lived half a life could not bring himself to tell a lie with his eyes wide open.

"So that's it. Your king is a psychic who can alter people's memories, but unfortunately, that is useless against me, because my brain is far more advanced than yours!" the black monster laughed wildly.

During the few days since the opening of the Tengfei Group, Shang Ning came to the company every day to check for any issues and would discuss hiring plans with Fu Chuan and Ma Zitian.

Even if in other years the ore was hard to buy or mining was slow, and there might be some discount, earning 30 million a year is still quite good. Ten years would be enough to basically earn back the initial investment.

However, looking at Li Xian, he remained encased in giant vines. The tops of the vines continuously sprouted dandelion seeds, which transformed into hundreds of tree-men, seemingly without end.

Just then, the opponent grew anxious and fired frantically at Chuba, successfully knocking her off the vehicle.

Guo Zongxun acted tough for a long while, sitting there with his arms crossed, until finally, a white-bearded imperial physician noticed him.

"By the way, you want to trade for Fire Crystals—is it because you lack them in your own camp?" As the instigator, Gran feigned concern.

Wang Liang's martial arts were also quite good. When he stepped up for the second time, he had clearly learned from his previous lesson, holding back strength in his punches and making his tactical changes even more dazzling.
