Volume One, Chapter Ninety: Xu Qian Wants Me Dead

Maya is not even on Earth. The writer, driven mad by the sharp blade of censorship, would not blame her for it, nor would he slyly pen fan fiction about her. As for character, Tony was nothing but an arrogant, sharp-tongued man; during his school years he made not a single friend, and if he did not come to blows with old Howard, it was only out of regard for his mother. Filial devotion was, naturally, entirely out of the question. For more than a thousand years, he had still clung to his former lover, sending countless avatars into the mortal world to search for her.

"That damned bald-headed bastard again!" Just thinking of that wretched face made Fu Hun grind his teeth in hatred. In his view, if that unexpected meddler had not appeared last time, he would not have been burned into his present state.

After the brief meeting ended, it was already around midnight, and everyone had opened their march tents and gone to sleep.

He was truly hungry today, so he no longer held back. He sat there gnawing on dragon meat and eating immortal crane.

Yet the guild mistress was a being apart from ordinary people. Her state of mind had grown ever deeper with cultivation, and in only a short while her gaze returned once more to its calm and unruffled state.

Recently, Jiangzhou City had been under constant attention, and the robbery that occurred after the college entrance exams naturally drew many eyes as well.

It was not that she was cruel and bloodthirsty, eager to exterminate them all. Rather, if one problem was not solved, it would remain an eternal hidden danger.

"Thank you..." Ye Young Maiden did not notice that as she looked at Bai Fan with a faint smile, there was nothing else in her eyes but his figure.

So unfamiliar that within his aura there was no spiritual power left at all, only demonic energy, and not the slightest trace of human presence.

"Strictly speaking, this should be called an immersive online game. It can also be called a virtual-reality online game. It is a form of game in which players use a helmet or a game pod and the like to reflect their brainwaves into the system. Its degree of realism is not something ordinary web-based operation can compare with," Luo Yang said with a smile.

After seeing the film, the audience would praise it to the skies, because the movie was indeed good. But the greater reason for their acclaim was that it brought them hope, making them feel: perhaps our country's science fiction still has a future after all.

Yet a seed of suspicion had already sprouted in Luo Quan's heart. He exchanged a glance with Mu Qingyou, and the two of them found a stiff excuse to leave the table.

The expressions of admiration from the others toward Du Rong changed quickly as well. Some held pity, some sympathy, though most were mockery.

Clenching his fists, at this critical moment Zhuang Xie did not dare let his mind waver even slightly. He ground his teeth and suddenly erupted in a hysterical cry.

Xiang Tao was grinning from ear to ear. With so many applicants, who knew? There might be a writer among them who would make his eyes light up.

The Divine Palace stood upon the crown of the World Tree, at the highest point of all the lunar earth. Three thousand zhang above it was the protective light curtain of the world-spanning array. At this moment, a seam as fine as a silk thread had been opened in that barrier, and pure, surging sacred power of the supreme lunar essence poured in through the gap.

"I already said it. Didn't you hear me? Or should I say it again?" Li Xin glared at the white-coated man and said coldly.

The core consciousness roared, and Chen Bao seemed to feel the anxiety it conveyed in an instant.

After his eyes rolled around several times, he suddenly froze, as though he had understood something.

The others also hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen, but only Emperor Wushang appeared languid and relaxed, seeming somewhat unable to hold his liquor.

Even Li Tianming had never heard of anything like spiritual cultivation, and he too was utterly bewildered.

Mi Jiale held both hands up respectfully, as though supporting something. Then, all at once, a blinding light flashed out, forcing Hu Ao to raise both hands to shield his eyes.

"My home is in Hanping City, but neither of us is going the same way," Li Xin said helplessly.

However, things for Nie Dan had become much busier than before. Added to that, she was already making preparations to leave Jiangnan and return to Yanjing, and therefore did not want, nor dare allow, any mishap to occur. As a result, the workload of the people under her had also increased.

Once he arrived at the waiting room, the place became crowded and lively. Everyone who saw Li Shengzhu and the others coming turned to look at them.

"I wasn't asleep. I just dozed off for a moment," Bai Ma Jun said. The surroundings made it impossible for him to sleep, so he had merely gone a little dazed for a while.

All three Gao brothers took part in the exam. In the end, the result was... the Gao brothers failed once again. None of them made it in, and it nearly drove Liu Wen mad.

Then he took a white porcelain bowl, lifted a large iron ladle, scooped two heaping ladlefuls from the great pot of tofu pudding, pulled a pair of disposable chopsticks from a plastic bag beside him, and sat down to eat.

Zhang Meng was startled stiff. After all, Zhang Shaozhi never spoke recklessly; he always meant exactly what he said and did exactly what he promised.

While Gao Fei was observing the round and plump monk, the monk was likewise observing Gao Fei. In the same way, Gao Fei gave the round monk an impression of profound mystery, leaving him somewhat unable to see through him.
