That single-lens reflex camera was her “other half,” yet at the crucial moment it had let her down. While silently cursing herself for being so useless, she edged her way beneath the parked car.

“I accept your terms.” Qingling saw the anger in Ye Yu’s eyes and realized that he truly seemed ready to leave. She could not help speaking up. Ye Yu’s strength was even greater than her own; if she let him come along, he probably would not cause much trouble. That was what Qingling thought secretly to herself.

The mage nodded as though he only half understood. In the battle just now, Dongfang Xiao’s move had indeed been completely unexpected—even his Dark Blade had failed to anticipate it. Thanks to that technique, Dongfang Xiao had unquestionably gained a slight advantage in that exchange.

After looking around the seaside villa, He Chuan found no trace of Xiao Mo whatsoever. In fact, there was not even a single useful clue; the entire villa held nothing but an old man and several servants.

Gu Shen had just been about to say something when the emergency-room door was suddenly flung open from within with a bang. His hand trembled, and he hastily tossed the cigarette out the window. “I’ll contact you again. Something’s come up.” Then he hung up.

“Brother Ye, why have you stopped? Isn’t that supposed to be the exit?” Ling Ming asked Qin Yun with a smile. A faint look of surprise appeared in his eyes, though no one could tell what had astonished him.

But the problem now was that she had lost to Lin Feng. Xia Qinglian was furious, yet utterly helpless. Stomping her feet in anger, she could not think of any way to deny the result and was left brooding in frustration.

Time passed second by second. Mo Yi poured her spiritual energy into the flower without holding anything back, and the blossom gradually began to recover.

No matter how well He Zijie concealed it, He Zidai could still discern the absentmindedness in his eyes. Pretending not to care, he held his cup, though the corner of his eye kept stealing glances at the other man.

If it had been possible, Zhang Haotian would truly have wished for that snake to vanish from the world—preferably forever. As for injuring the snake, however, Zhang Haotian was afraid he simply did not possess enough ability.

Before she had finished speaking, a crisp crack rang out. Yang Wan had just bitten off a corner of the sugar figurine, and upon hearing her words, she froze in obvious astonishment. The strands of sugar in her mouth could neither be swallowed nor spat out, leaving her rigidly stuck.

Yamamoto Kazuo was extremely wary. After Ken disappeared, he became even more cautious. He refused to leave the hotel, yet used Ryuichi Yamamoto’s identity to hold lavish banquets with great fanfare, leaving his enemies no opportunity to strike.

Without a word, the Eastern Palace guards stepped forward and formed a battle array. In the blink of an eye, the two sides were locked in confrontation. Seeing this, Jingyang raised an elbow and a leg to shove aside the subordinates blocking his way, then advanced fearlessly.

Old Wei had been attacked in the legs and was thrown into disarray. Spreading his legs wide, he retreated again and again, his feet leaping and kicking wildly.

As she watched, she suddenly felt a ticklish sensation in her palm. He Nansheng’s index finger was mischievously stroking it.

Chen Fan, however, failed to notice that the instant he disappeared, several figures flashed into the place where he had just been cultivating.

Ye Xian’er gazed smugly at her own fist, thoroughly satisfied with Ye Feng’s panicked retreat.

In the same way, Zhao Lei chose a sturdy tree and began performing the Eight Trigrams Chain Palm.

Before the man could react, Bodhisattva Nangong seized him by the collar and slammed him hard into the ground.

Shen Si opened and closed her mouth. Her thoughts were in turmoil, but more importantly, the present situation had to be resolved. She could not allow Si Mozhou and Lu Yan to remain in the same room.

Damn it—he dodged! Seeing that the fireball had missed Wu Si by only a fraction, Chipman lamented the near miss and hurriedly began chanting another spell.

“Rumble.”

No one knew how many times such violent thunder had already erupted across the sky.

At that moment, Stone suddenly felt an intense heat spreading through his body, as though he were being roasted. Yet after the scorching came wave after wave of extraordinary comfort.

“Well… how would you know whether there are feelings involved?” Dai Huadong recalled the way his adoptive elder brother looked at Xu Jiuj iu, as well as how well his foolish third brother got along with his wife.

“Cousin, I’ve finished drinking. Your turn!” Qin Zhaotang forced himself to endure the dizziness clouding his mind. Bracing both hands against the table, he stared fixedly at Qin Yu.

Wu Yang’s mental power searched through the subconscious minds of every iron life-form, hoping to find clues connected to the Core of the System.

When Stone saw that it had no intention of leaving, the Ghost-Binding Rope flew from his hand and bound the tiger tightly.

“The Forensic Evidence Division has been sorting through the files these past two days. I’ll be busy all day tomorrow, so I won’t be going,” Cheng Jinsong explained.

They could actually fuse human and animal souls together to create a monster like this. These exorcists were truly insane.

Upon hearing this, Elder Hua closed his eyes. A chill filled the depths of his gaze. Was this a warning? The Hua family had not even made a move, yet someone had already issued such a bloody threat. Could the Hua family really stand against the Fu family, the Zhang family, and those other great clans?

Dongfang Yuping was about to continue pressing them when he noticed A Yi, Ye You, and the others gazing at him pleadingly. Even the likes of the Golden-Bearded Demon King and the Demon Hammer King were looking at him with weak, pitiful expressions. As a result, Dongfang Yuping could not bring himself to utter another word.

After the two of them grew tired from sitting and talking, they lay there and continued their conversation. Breathing in each other’s scent and gazing into each other’s eyes, the trembling in their hearts grew ever stronger. At last, they embraced.
