Volume 1, Chapter 36: Glassware for Wine Ignites the Capital
However, having lost an eye, the Ferocious White-Browed Tiger focused its hatred and attention even more intensely on Betsy. With a thunderous roar, it bared its blood-drenched maw and launched another assault against her.
"So that's how it is." Xuanyuan Tianxin withdrew her gaze, and the slight trace of sympathy she had felt in her heart instantly vanished. Those who commit countless evils in life must naturally atone for them after death; this was only right and proper, and therefore, not worth pitying.
Ye Tongxuan could not help but change color, the aura he had painstakingly built up wiped away in an instant. To be blunt, in the face of the monumental achievement of "subduing the demon god," no matter how many rebels the Snow God Palace captured, or how many powerful warriors from the barbarian or sea clans they seized, it all seemed insignificant.
"Don't be nervous, old man has no malicious intent." Seeing the guarded look on Yang Lie's face, the old man hurriedly said.
Before he could clearly see what the thing in front of him was, he immediately reached out to grab the flash of lightning, only for the creature to turn its head and attempt to bite his wrist.
The result of the two men's indulgence was that Lu Yixiu was not only suffering from kidney deficiency, but the few strands of hair he had managed to sprout were also completely rooted out. His head became increasingly bald, to the point where it could almost be used for illumination.
After this message was sent, it sank like a stone into the ocean, and for a long time, there was no reply. I called him again, only to discover that he had already blacklisted Yang Qu's phone number as well.
But it seemed inappropriate for Jiang Zilin to jump out and say this. Anxious, she poked the boy's back with her finger.
"Put me in a 'frog' with water, we'll continue 'frog-traveling,' and then go look for the rainbow frog," Yang Yi provided his guiding advice. It was a good plan; he had already fallen into a trap, and Forman had managed to force the old witch back, indicating that the old witch had not fully recovered from her injuries. Remaining here would solve nothing.
"Then what about the teaching assistant? Why did he resign? It's such a good job; it's hard to get back in once you've quit." A classmate asked, which happened to be exactly what Shui Qing wanted to know.
Nirvana can bring all material and spiritual attacks to a halt, returning everything to the state of primordial chaos.
"Hmph, we can just keep looking. Besides, there are still four days left; there is plenty of time, no need to make some boring bet here." Zhan Zhongzhong looked at Guibao coldly and suddenly erupted in anger, clearly siding with Mu Siyuan.
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It was a case of mistaken identity—no big deal. The most important thing was that he remained the King of the Dragon Kingdom. Yang Yi signaled for the loyal centurion to rise and offered praise to the other warriors. The centurion ordered the cavalry to fetch horses and notified Forman that their King had returned.
I cannot say there was anything wrong with Uncle De's arrangements, but as their brother, I can understand how the two of them feel right now. Aside from trusting me, they have no other choice.
Dozens of warships stood ready; these steel monsters were the crystallization of human wisdom and technology. Although they were not yet capable of stepping onto the galactic stage to expand their territory, they possessed enough strength to defend Mother Earth.
Of course, this might also have something to do with bloodlines. People of royal lineage who transform into titans—even mindless ones—have a slightly higher probability of becoming abnormal types. However, that is the limit; even the purest royal bloodline cannot transform into a titan with intelligence.
The sealing technique that Elder Ding Nan was currently performing with his life force was the manifestation of reaching the third level of mastery.
"Very well, this Taoist shall accompany you, My Lady." Having said this, Huorong and the consort stepped out of the palace together.
Because the Purple Thunder Space was filled with dense thunder-attribute spiritual energy—and that energy was highly active—using an ordinary flying spirit boat would inevitably cause the gathered thunder energy to collide, triggering violent movements and forming thunder orbs.
Lying children are not good children; this was a principle they all understood. But they didn't know how to explain this matter to their teacher. What if the teacher found out about the existence of the planetarium and confiscated it?
For the next few days, Li Jiajia and I were busy looking for girls. Having worked in this line of business before, I found the process quite smooth. I knew who I was looking for, and having learned from previous failures, I set up a system of superiors handing off to subordinates and relied on referrals from acquaintances, which reduced the risk of failure and exposure.
Just as I was debating whether to accept this bet, the Countryside Livestreaming System popped up a new task: livestream ten instances of catching fish with bare hands.
Working in the fields for a long time makes one's fingers easily grow coarse and unsightly, and the skin becomes rougher and duller. It is inevitable that all ten fingertips will harbor black soil, impossible to wash clean, often accompanied by distinct freckles.
She let out an angry snort and actually started to run, taking long strides, desperate to leave the island in the middle of the lake.
As he spoke, Li Feng caught two more crucian carp. In no time at all, the bamboo basket was filled with over a dozen fish, and the livestreaming task was complete.
Hearing this, the previously lively atmosphere in the room instantly froze. A strange air appeared out of thin air, and everyone cast odd looks at the person who had spoken, scrutinizing his appearance again and again.
Ye Shaoxuan flew off in the direction of the mountain. His departure was not only because of Tianyan's words but also because he had an appointment that evening.
Zhang Yonghai was surprised. "Your Majesty, didn't the First Prince also..." He naturally knew when to stop.
Since we parted at Jiuli Street, she had deliberately avoided news of him. She had heard that his career had gone through a downturn for a time, but after weathering that period, it began to rise again, shining even brighter than before. Even just recently at the film festival, he had won so many awards he couldn't keep count. It seemed that after leaving her, he had become increasingly successful.
In the center of the cage sat a box crafted from black bone. The origin of this scorched bone was unknown. Embedded directly above the bone box was a Buddhist bead, which was, unsurprisingly, also black.
Seeing Lu Ming stop, Huai Sang stopped as well. Following Lu Ming's gaze, she saw the five people, her eyes filled with curiosity. As a tree demon, she had only been active in the Demon Plains for many years and rarely saw humans.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion became a bit jealous. Firstly, Ye Zhen was handsome and devoted, and his love for Yu Xiang was truly enviable. Secondly, with Yu Xiang being so popular, it made them seem completely useless. The procuress gave a knowing smile and said nothing more, letting Ye Zhen and the others be, before swaying her hips to greet the other guests.
He had stubbornly withstood that incredibly rigid and powerful punch. Long Xiu felt the blood surging in his chest, almost unable to stop a mouthful of blood from escaping his lips.
But everything was just her own wishful thinking. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; the pain was far more than just this.
Ye Xiao waved his hand and walked into the manor first. Thinking of how dusty he was, he went to his own courtyard first to change his clothes, then headed to Wanyun Courtyard. Madam Wang was sitting on the arhat bed, watching Ye Mei sketch a pattern, when she was startled by a loud shout of "Mother!"
