Chapter 145: A Performance

“All right, then. I won’t get in your way. But if you run into any trouble, you must come to me. I’m at least one level higher than you, after all, and can handle more situations than you can.”

With a serene smile on his face, he did not open his mouth. Yuan Yao’er was truly afraid that if she did, she would burst out laughing. What did he mean by being one level higher than her? Once one was destined to remain an ant, how much higher could one possibly rise?

Only after everyone had gone did she wave at the short figure’s back. When putting on an act, one had to see it through to the end.

“Pah! What kind of meal was that? They invited me to dinner, yet there wasn’t a scrap of meat in sight—just some greens, pickled beans, and egg-drop soup...”

His fingers suddenly tightened, and he forcibly snapped the hundred-forged steel sword in two.

It had been a long time since anyone had challenged Bureau Nine so brazenly. Today, they had not only fought in the middle of a crowded street but had even struck their deputy director from the sky with a single sword.

Ning Yuan naturally never imagined that Li Yuting would take his offhand remark so foolishly seriously.

The four ghostly divine arms exploded with a thunderous roar. It abandoned that portion of its divine body and detonated the vast divine power contained within.

Once Hua Luolan entered her room, she found it exceedingly simple: a bed, a table, a chair, and a chest for clothes and other belongings.

A black stone was placed, and a large section of white stones was captured. Jin Zhihao stared blankly. “You can be frank, just as you would in a detention center.” Maslow waved a hand.

Between the forks of the tree branches, several corpses had been impaled and hung there. As the breeze passed, they swayed back and forth, giving off a spine-chilling creaking sound.

Bei Gongchu, hiding in the darkness, watched the scene. Not only did he refuse to save them, but an extremely sinister, cold smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was seen clearly by Zuo Qiuning, who had suddenly awakened beside him.

The flying saucers stationed on Mars, along with those that had just been manufactured, surged forth like a disturbed nest of hornets, swarming toward the Mighty One from every direction.

Yet the cruelty of reality far exceeded Xia Feng’s imagination. Reality had dealt him a brutal blow: he had earned no money and had instead made numerous enemies. Under such circumstances, his dream had become nothing more than an extravagant hope.

Damn it, Hao Shuai was the head teacher’s nephew. He had surely ended up on the head teacher’s blacklist.

Her hand touched the treasure between Qin Yuan’s thighs, feeling the heat of the proud python and the welcome conveyed by its restless stirring.

Fortunately, he had guessed the right person. Otherwise, Li Ye’s blade might already have been pressed against his throat by now.

“Woof, woof...” Hearing his master’s call, the poodle barked loudly, but it did not leave Meng Xinghui’s side.

The frail young man had approached with a smiling face, his shifty eyes fixed on Luo Xinghe’s voluptuous figure. When he heard Tao Yanli say that Ye Bihuang was Luo Xinghe’s boyfriend, his brows drew together slightly. He then shifted his gaze to Ye Bihuang and scrutinized him carefully.

Wang Junjie searched from place to place according to his memories. Though he found it amusing, the doubts in his heart grew heavier and heavier. The traces of the battle that day were all still there; the sword marks and fist prints were vividly visible. Why had no one cleaned them up?

After secretly killing two expendable underlings, Old Yuan and Murong Jue were even less capable of resisting Jiang Wei. Once Jiang Wei unleashed his Domain of the Dao, the two of them had no hope of breaking free.

Di Shuye remained expressionless. He rose and looked at the man. “Farewell.”

Yet when he stood, the wooden chair against his back was already covered with beads of sweat. He had not been scared witless, but he had certainly been frightened badly.

The man dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe sat upon the dragon throne, frowning with one hand propping up his cheek. He had actually fallen asleep.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Feng followed Gu Qinglan to the bedroom door. Without a word, Gu Qinglan pushed open the door and pulled Ding Feng inside.

At that depth, any creature that still carried its own light had to be terrifying. Only predators powerful enough to survive in such darkness would dare to produce light on their bodies, luring other creatures closer.
