Chapter 36

He walked in as soon as he opened the door, showing no signs of discomfort despite the strange odor seeping from the room.
As the weather grew hotter, there was no point in staying indoors during my free time, so I headed to the Dongfeng Canal and set up a hammock to cool off.
Her slender, fair fingers gripped the handle of the cup, swaying it unconsciously while her eyes remained fixed on her head. After a moment of contemplation, she lowered her gaze and brought the cup to her lips once more. As she sipped, her fair neck arched slightly, perfectly outlining the graceful curve of her chin.
Hua Xiyan smiled and cast a playful, reproachful glance at Yun Qi. The ripple of emotion in her beautiful eyes stirred waves in Yun Qi’s heart even more violently.
After withdrawing her gaze, she thought of the miserable state Li Jin might be in. She hurried to leave, but remembering the barrier that had been there before, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand. A powerful surge of spiritual energy exploded at the doorway with a roar.
Lu Yan’s knuckles turned slightly white as he gripped the tablet tightly. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice to give an order to the person on the other end of the line before cutting the connection. He looked up at the person in the driver’s seat, his cold, severe, and dangerous aura filling the space.
To Xie Jingju, this kingly aura felt oppressive. The essence and the dross of Beijing, having settled for thousands of years, breathed with a magnanimous ease that surpassed even the Bund in Shanghai, possessing a character greater than many cities in the United States.
“Shadow Guard Seventeen reporting!” He knelt respectfully before Shi Yin. Dressed entirely in black with his head bowed, only his ink-colored hair was visible. He knelt silently, as if he did not exist, quietly waiting for his master’s inquiry.
Du Lian’e was so furious she was ready to flip the table, but the troupe leader stepped in to mediate, eventually calming things down. Everyone else dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Outside was the water of the Huangpu River. On this late autumn night, the north wind howled, and the river was covered with moss, water hyacinths, and dumped trash, the stench of which hit one’s face.
The optimal solution would be to destroy both the elemental chaos entity and the bronze door simultaneously, but is such a thing truly possible?
“Then why did you come to attack the Land of Light?” Ultraman King knew that the Land of Light had never provoked Feiyu, so he should not have come to destroy it without reason.
Feng Ling had clearly underestimated the intense, tearing pain brought about by the Ghost Stone’s tempering process. Even though he had spent his previous life wallowing in piles of corpses and had survived countless brushes with death, forging a strong heart impervious to fire and water, this was different.

Just as the two were walking aimlessly down the street, a mage in black robes approached them.
“They reported that they felt very comfortable living there, but I have never let them go out to sea,” Akagi replied.
As the words faded, feeling a gentle ripple of response from his palm, Feng Ling couldn’t help but smile. He felt more confident about the upcoming trip to Jiuying.
After a bit of “deception” by Ashiza, Zuikaku finally believed for the time being that Saratoga’s attack on her was due to a special state she had been in.
Chen Yan had been to Yanjing three or four times, but each visit was for state affairs; he never had the chance to properly see this historic city and felt very much a stranger to it.
“Alright, alright, no need to be so formal. You must be tired after such a long journey! Rest here for a while. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and we shall go together to the Red Flower Pavilion to meet the Chief Leader,” Master Jipo said. Once exposed, he set aside his deliberately eccentric temper and looked at the Shaolin disciples with satisfaction.
Among them was an incredibly domineering martial art that could broaden the meridians and dantian, strengthen marrow and bones, and push one’s limits. This was likely the martial art the Master should focus on cultivating.
Chen Baoshan was still waiting for the villagers to start a conflict with Xiao Yanhong, but at this point, hope seemed slim, and he was deeply unwilling.
The murmurs of the crowd rose and fell, but the moment the two spoke, everyone fell silent.
After dozens of palm strikes, Shao Yong’an’s figure had been driven out of Yangzhou, becoming a black speck, barely visible.
Shan Heng was somewhat resistant, but faced with Zhou Jingjing’s innocent smile and pleading eyes, he decided to change into it. Zhou Jingjing picked out a white one for herself, and then they headed to a place where many photographers gathered.
Shangguan Yu, who was savoring the Blood Bodhi, saw his expression change. He suddenly transformed into a streak of red light, darting out of the hall and standing in mid-air above the valley, gazing toward the southwest.
“By the way, I would like to ask, where are you all going?” Keya, who had been silent until now, raised her hand timidly to ask.

He finished the meat in his hand in one bite and tossed the rib aside; it happened to land right in front of the mountain demon.
“Heh, what am I? I admire that you dare to speak to me like that,” the youth said, laughing rather than getting angry, though the smile was extremely sinister.
“Dorry, it seems you feel it too. That presence,” Brogy said with a serious expression.
While dressing in the morning, I caught a glimpse of the peace talisman around my neck. Thinking of what Bai Yulan had said the previous night, I took it off and examined it in my hand. I felt that something was wrong. What exactly was wrapped inside the peace talisman?
Although Chu Wanyi was a shrewd and capable business elite, she lacked martial arts skills and was physically delicate. If she really arrived in a strange country, she would surely suffer a great deal.
Wang Kai picked up the glass of wine and downed it; if he kept being coy, there would be no end to it.
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the three Chinese ink landscape paintings hanging on the wall nearby, his expression relaxed, showing no signs of anything unusual.
“Do you still need to declare ownership?” Su Yuyang snatched the phone from Ling Miao’s hand with one movement, lifted Ling Miao’s chin with the other, and leaned in to kiss her lips.
Today was not busy, and there was almost nothing to do. I organized some documents and took a look at the previous projects, finding that the Leng Group’s monthly workload was particularly large. I just wondered how their sales were. If only I could see the statistics from the sales department.
“That is true, though the eldest aunt only came from the family of a minor official in the Imperial Manufactory, and yet she still managed to marry into our Li family!” Li Jinrui retorted, casting a sidelong glance at Madam Liu, shutting her up with a single sentence.
