128 Succubus (36)

The two superpowered individuals had already departed. Wu Xuan and I quietly poked our heads out to spy on them; all we could do now was find a way to secretly follow. Besides, a pauper trying to climb the social ladder is mocked everywhere; as for talk of romance, that is merely an excuse for the penniless.

Damao Mountain, Linjiagou—home to about a hundred households. Because the terrain is rugged and riddled with ravines, the houses are scattered across a vast, south-facing hillside.

Before Yi Xuan could react, a gravitational pull seized his body, and after a moment of disorientation, he appeared within the gray void. Having learned from experience, he walked straight up to the stone tablet and kicked it twice.

I was just chatting with Uncle Wang when Ye Mei'er suddenly called. A faint smile crossed my face; damn it, she finally remembered me.

Filled with shock and rage, he fell to the ground, performed a kip-up to his feet, and leaped onto a large rock. Suddenly, he felt two streams of blood drip from his nose, landing drop by drop onto the Yin Stone of the Black Tortoise.

"If I am not mistaken, Sect Master Zhuang wanted you to practice this technique so that he could reap the benefits through certain means. Later, when you did not practice it fully, he simply gave up," Cao Peng said.

Yang Bian regretted that his previous exchange with Sasaki Hime had been too brief to fully grasp her techniques. The only thing he knew was that her Divine Seal was the Wood Spirit Seal, which allowed her to manifest spiritual energy into physical beasts; beyond that, he knew nothing.

An ancient tree of unknown species grew in front of the courtyard; though countless years had passed, it remained lush and green.

Having once again escaped a massive, overwhelming tide of beasts, the group rested on a small hill.

You never used to call me "boss" so smoothly, did you? Now you insist on using that title. Are you in such a hurry to distance yourself from me?

Since they were old acquaintances, Li Kui’s blade, suspended in mid-air, stopped. He looked back at Lu Bu, as if asking whether or not he should kill him.

At this moment, Yao Tian'er finally reconnected with Su He, only to see everyone kneeling before him, chanting "Brother Wuying" over and over. It was truly bizarre.

Just then, Zhen Duo’s scream echoed from the outhouse. She came running back immediately, trembling with fear.

"Young Master Li, we are not finished yet. Where do you think you're going?" Lin Feng seized the remnant soul of Li Huo and crushed it ruthlessly. With a shrill, piercing scream, Li Huo vanished from the world forever.

"Who... who are you?" Shaken by my aura, the Taoist who had been strutting arrogantly before me collapsed to the ground. It was clear his cultivation was shallow.

Shen Mengxin came over and saw the two of them, looking startled. Qingzhi reminded her to bring a stool, and the two of them climbed into the room by stepping on it.

It is strange for a fierce beast to speak, but it also proves that their intelligence is incredibly high. Yet, looking at them now, I can't feel it at all; these two hulking brutes are complete idiots.

"A double bed? How could I possibly sleep in the same bed as you? Cohabitation before marriage is immoral!" Sharing a bed... sharing a bed... Xu Jingjing gulped.

I scrambled up from the floor, grabbed the talisman paper, performed a hand seal, and struck it directly at the life-gate on the ghost infant's forehead.

Compared to the flirtatious playboy Ouyang Liang, Ouyang Yi was a doting husband who would do anything to protect his wife. At their wedding banquet, he blocked every single toast meant for her.

If he possessed strength beyond the Mortal Realm, he could suppress everything in the mundane world. But he did not, so he could only watch helplessly as his avatar was injured, unable to do anything about it.

Arms dealing is strictly prohibited in the shelter, but some things become harder to suppress the more you ban them. In the apocalypse, many people’s self-restraint is gradually fading, and more and more are willing to take risks. The stricter the ban, the higher the price, rather than cutting off the supply.

After a moment of thought, Wu Fan returned to Villa No. 8, hailed a taxi to the headquarters of Yuanwu Technology, and walked straight into Cheng Qiuyun’s office.

Gu Chen watched as the attacks surged toward him, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

"So, Officer Bai, you should just accept it. Cold pig head meat and vodka—just thinking about it is delicious," Wang Yuan replied testily.

Chen Wei returned to his office. To resolve this matter, he had to find Lin Ran; if Lin Ran would just relent, there might still be a chance for a turnaround.

"Wow! You are seriously hurt!" Wood walked out slowly, then slumped down beside Alan.

"That should be it," said a young man with dark skin in the driver's seat. He stared at the building as well, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"No money? If you had no money, why did you borrow it in the first place?" one of the men said viciously.

Bai Lang’s family was originally a landowning family. They weren't exactly wealthy, but they had enough to get by.

On the commentary desk, the "Haier Brothers," who had been boasting about Mark's achievements before the match, felt quite awkward.

Lin Chuan said, "But you have no way to visit Uncle Chen right now." It was estimated that those so-called friends from before had already drawn a line between themselves and Chen Jingyi; Old Man Chen Suhai had only just passed away, and the tea had already gone cold.

Jiang Zhengqing had previously recruited over 200 die-hard followers to start an uprising in Hangzhou, but Zhao Changpeng had beaten him to it.

Now that I have reached this position, I suddenly understand: life is like a pre-set level-clearing game. As long as you want to move forward, there will always be terrible people and messy situations waiting for you. Not getting entangled—paying the price and walking away—is the best way to handle it.

At this moment, the others were awakened by Orianna’s words and turned to look in that direction.

Song Enjing was already among the best of her peers to have debuted and been sent abroad by her company to make money. Her flexibility and her ability to manage her expressions were both top-notch.
