Chapter Forty: Night at the Bar

Sima Xuanyu waited for Chen Xinyi’s reply, hoping she would say yes, so he could stand up and embrace her passionately, prompting applause from the audience below. He had already written the script for this moment. Chen Xinyi smiled and said, “Sorry, I can’t!” Sima Xuanyu’s expression changed slightly, although no one else could see it. He asked again, “Are you sure you can’t? I really like you.”

Looking closely at the shadows around him, he realized that all the people sitting in the chairs were Savei, yet each version of himself was distinct in some way.

Marshal Krete spun around suddenly, dodging the incoming sword strike, and a crimson blade of light whirled rapidly around his body. The phantom missed its attack and was instead knocked away by this blade.

After a while, Zhou Jiye and his wife excused themselves and left the table. Sitting here wasn’t about enjoying a meal—it felt more like enduring torture.

“Don’t be like this.” He was a little annoyed, his face tense, and after speaking, he opened the cake shop door. Cold wind swept in, making her shiver slightly.

“You’re exaggerating, Huo Dou. Lord Ao An isn’t a tiger.” Yan Mo chuckled as he scratched Huo Dou’s bristling fur.

But a cowardly soldier is one thing, a cowardly commander is a disaster. Lu Hui and Shi Ding, the two deputy generals who had never faced a real crisis, were terrified by Xu Jing’s alarming warnings. Asking them to hold Hu Guan and wait for reinforcements was too much. The excuse of ‘as long as the mountains remain, there will always be firewood’ suited them perfectly.

At this moment, Savei glanced through the glass and saw the other hunters’ corpses soaking in the tanks emitting a faint glow. Within the glow, the corpses opened their eyes and looked at Savei.

However, the rules for mounts on the planet Wiyana were rather unique: the party being challenged had to defeat the challenger, or else the challenger was considered the victor.

“It looks like they’re trying to run. Should we stop them?” Shi Tan said to Feng Yi. She had no ability to fly; if those people really tried to escape, she wouldn’t be able to stop them.

From the beginning, the rules and regulations were clearly defined, which attracted many successful people to this place—not just to attend the banquet, but more so to network.

After graduating, he changed his phone number and didn’t inform any of his old classmates or friends. If it hadn’t been for reconnecting with Cheng Lili recently, he would have missed the celebration.

Nine crisp sounds rang out in succession, like jade beads dropping onto a plate, forming one continuous and remarkably clear melody! One arrow, yet the bowstring vibrated nine times.

‘Don’t be afraid, what I have in my hand isn’t just for show. At night, it’s hard to aim, but during the day, we’re not scared of them. We have two guns!” said Principal Wolf.

“Let’s try it—maybe it’ll really work!” Feng Li gritted his teeth and placed Nangong Muyue on the ground, wrapping one arm around her body so her head rested in his embrace, while his other hand reached between her legs, pressed against her most intimate place.

“Brother Yunfeng, you went out early this morning just to buy the helmet for the game ‘Chenfeng Continent,’ didn’t you!” I looked up at the girl, surprised she knew I’d gone out early. Had I been watched? I wondered, but a smile crept onto my lips.

Zhuo Fan pushed off the ground with his right foot, leaping forward like lightning and instantly catching up with the retreating Ouyang Qianyu. His right leg spun downward, sweeping fiercely at Ouyang Qianyu’s waist.

Xiao Rouhuai suddenly seemed to remember something and rushed to the edge of the pool. His actions reminded everyone of something: the fruit was gone, but there were still fish. Hopefully the fish hadn’t died as well.

Twenty-two years ago, Zhang Yiwei settled at Chongxu Ancient Temple, which was then quite dilapidated. The Zhang family donated a vast sum, and combined with other contributions, they worked together to restore it, giving rise to the temple’s current form.
