Although their own people had carried out the kidnapping, someone else had taken the blame for them. Brother Shan admired the gang leader’s methods, but then he suddenly remembered that the Hall Master had ordered him to keep it secret. Now that he had blurted it out just to show off, the old man would surely butcher him if he found out.

When the cunning leopards saw Zhao Fei charging toward them, they deliberately retreated and dodged, as though every one of them possessed intelligence enough to understand his intentions.

Liu Yun smiled faintly. “Now this is interesting. Did the will call for fewer burial objects, or were the items originally meant to accompany the dead divided up among those who came to attend the funeral?”

He had refrained from punishing Lady Ulanara publicly, thereby granting her, as his principal consort, the greatest possible dignity. But Yinzhen had always been one to repay every slight, and though he said nothing aloud, he certainly would not let the matter end so simply.

Before Liu Xie could react, Liu Bei drove a silver needle into a vital point at the back of his neck. The latter immediately became utterly unable to move.

According to the family’s traditions and practices, so long as a younger brother from either the inner or outer branch of the family had not died because of the mistake, the family would provide compensation to his relatives—perhaps property, martial arts, technical knowledge, or protection—so that they could continue to enjoy the family’s honor.

One of them, who appeared to be the leader, looked Liu Bei and the others up and down before speaking in a haughty tone.

Cui Chuang propped his chin on one hand and carefully examined An Qi from head to toe. From time to time, he stepped forward to squeeze An Qi’s arm and measure the length of his reach and legs, looking extraordinarily professional.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Qin Mo went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings to fill his stomach. He then opened the downloaded game, logged into his account, and entered the “Moon over the Western River” server in Telecom Region One.

Yet obtaining hidden treasures—especially ancient treasures and weapons that could not be carried away—was exceedingly difficult. Over the years, those hidden treasures seemed never to have truly lost their spiritual essence. If one wanted to find the location of such a treasure, one might have to pass through countless dangers.

For some reason, whenever An Nianchu thought of what had just happened, she felt too embarrassed to speak. She could only change the subject and make herself forget the incident.

While channeling battle aura into Rong Yue, Saisi had already considered detoxifying her. But after trying, he discovered that his battle aura had no effect whatsoever; it could only temporarily delay the onset of the poison.

“I’m sorry. I failed to raise my son properly. Could you tell me exactly what happened?” Pan Chongde sighed. He had hurried over and taken a quick look at the scene, but he still had no understanding of the situation.

She continued to shake her head, unable to utter a word. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would question him. She did not collapse into his arms until she had cried herself exhausted, her eyes swollen and dry of tears.

Su Nian’an smiled bitterly. Qin Muchen had hired a professional caregiver to help nurse her back to health, arranging everything down to the exact times she ate and exercised. He himself no longer appeared constantly before her eyes.

Wugou looked at Yun Zheng, then at Zhong E. Zhong E alone would have been unremarkable, but the crafty smile that had once again appeared on Yun Zheng’s face proved that Zhong E possessed something Yun Zheng valued. He simply did not know what it was. He knew Yun Zheng far too well.

Jobs’s voice grew louder and louder until even he began to feel surprised. He was like someone who had no outlet for his anger and had started lashing out for no reason.

In truth, not long after he had given instructions about the matter the previous night, the disturbance had already resolved itself. What he had not expected was that such a dramatic turn of events might have been orchestrated by Wang Bai.

No one could describe the speed and force of that palm. The instant Fang Qi saw the Divine Lord of the North Sea rise into the air, the latter’s palm was already before his chest.

The demon soldiers beside him pointed toward Mo Fan, and all the demon soldiers stared at the scene in shock.

Only the golden heart remained pure in color. At that moment, it began to beat faster. With every beat, some of the multicolored energy was drawn inside, transformed into golden energy, and sent coursing through Mo Fan’s body.

He was a figure capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Di Fentian, an outstanding member of the younger generation who was destined to shine brilliantly in the future world.

Lu Shuangshuang concealed her smile. From Huo Yuanzhen’s expression, she had already detected the problem. It seemed that getting this partner to join hands with her would be a matter of minutes.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll make it happen for you! I won’t allow anyone to hurt my family again. Yousu, I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!”

When the white sales receipt was printed from the POS machine, many people froze. The male salesperson’s eyes widened like those of a startled fish.

Just as Isabel had said, they would now separate and throw themselves into their respective battles, winning victories on their own battlefields.

It seemed that after Ye Zihan emerged from that strange state, the force had concentrated all its firepower on him.

At Huan Zhu’s words, she gave a delicate shout and began reciting a summoning spell. She raised her hand and pressed it against her chest. A dazzling orange light flashed, and an eight-star phantom beast with a pitch-black body appeared before Ye Zihan.

Liu Guilan suspected that Tang Yuanying had been injured and wanted to examine her, mainly because the weather was hot, yet Tang Yuanying had put on long sleeves. Such abnormal behavior inevitably aroused Liu Guilan’s suspicions.

After saying this, Sun Yumeng smiled faintly, took hold of Jian Tongying—who had been clutching her stomach and wanted to ask something but had hesitated—and led her straight away from the place.

Ji Ling surrounded Sun Quan. Most of his sixty-five thousand soldiers surrendered, more than ten thousand died, and the veteran Huang Gai fell in battle.

Lu Bu’s enormous body became so elusive that it was difficult to tell whether it was real or illusory. But Zhao Yun changed his approach this time: if Lu Bu moved with agility, Zhao Yun would remain as steady as Mount Tai.

The moment they got into the car and sat down, Yang Jingbo and the others felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness wash over them and could not help yawning repeatedly. Seeing this, Xiangchuan Zhenqi curled his lips into a smile of triumph, clearly pleased that his scheme had succeeded.

“Oh? What question did he answer this time? Was it about the causes and mechanisms of illness, and the principles of maintaining health?” Xiao Xianlin’s voice came through the telephone.
