Throughout Xia Qiang’s missions, he gradually came to understand one thing: there was no denying that ghosts embodied the utmost madness and malice, but that did not mean they were foolish. On the contrary, most of them were even more cunning than human beings.
“It has to be printed out.” Yan Shi looked around and noticed the computer on the table, which had not been turned on for more than a year. Fortunately, it still started.
“I think so too. And the Third Young Mistress doesn’t seem feeble-minded either; she’s merely a little too innocent.” Old Madam Hong helped the elderly lady to her feet and led her toward the inner room.
It was not that he did not want to sell fewer materials. Any further reduction, however, would affect the pace of his cultivation. After all, he still had to purchase certain cultivation resources, such as Meditation Water.
The shadow carrying Yang Moxuan swept across the great hall in an instant, drifting in an unknown direction. It floated straight ahead through the temple, then placed Yang Mo in a dark corner. The enormous mass of smoke slowly withdrew from the young man’s body before dispersing and re-forming into its original shape.
“Well done. Here is a packet of sweets. Share them with your friends.” Si Xun praised him and patted his head.
The fat man swallowed involuntarily. From the doctor’s expression, he sensed that she had abandoned one thoroughly ruined character and was preparing to start over by raising a young girl’s character from scratch.
Within his field of vision, the stall seemed to be selling some kind of creature. Su Xiao bent down and took a curious look, unable to keep his brows from lifting.
Yet this place was saturated with foul energy, and spiritual energy suitable for cultivation was almost nowhere to be found. That was why his spiritual essence had remained empty all this time.
In Jiang Shiheng’s eyes, the pair’s brief exchange represented an advance in the progress of their marriage. He watched with a broad smile, entirely failing to notice the dark expression on Jiang Jie’s face.
The instant the door was pushed open, a human figure outlined in white lines appeared abruptly on the living-room floor in an exceedingly strange posture.
Yun Shu pondered before saying, “That’s why I don’t think he’s simply lustful. There must be another reason, and that’s why he doesn’t care about the bride’s appearance. Did you notice just now? There were two coffins in the main burial chamber.”
Su Yubei gave a deliberately affected sigh, took out his phone, and showed Xiao Zhuoxi the photographs he had taken on his last visit to Zhao Family Village.
It looked down at Yun Shu from above, a trace of contempt in its eyes, as though it were gazing at an ant.

That day, Sister Feng noticed that I was not in the compound and had still not returned by evening, so she casually gave me a call.
“From now on, leak him a little information each day. Let’s see how many days he can hold out!” Wang Shian said with complete confidence.
The driver had thought he would be able to return after getting out for only a moment, and his car keys were still in the ignition. Now that the doors were locked, he could not open them himself and had no choice but to ask the people inside to help.
By then, I had already lost so much blood that I had fallen unconscious. After extensive emergency treatment, they not only removed the bullets from my shoulder and abdomen, but also saved my life.
The captain had already realized what had happened. The young man before them should be Lu Tong, the very person they had been desperately searching for.
Zou Beiyun put on a fierce front despite his inner weakness. He stubbornly refused to leave, even puffing out his chest deliberately before his subordinates and pretending to fear nothing.
“Finished discussing it? Actually, it makes no difference who among you comes forward, because none of you is my opponent!” Ling Tian treated Sheng Yifeng’s venomous gaze as nothing. He shook his head with a faint laugh, then pointed at Sheng Yifeng, Xiu Shaojie, Liu Feng, and the others, indicating that none of them was a match for him.
What Zhao Jingzhi had not expected was that Su Lin would get straight to the point the moment he opened his mouth. It left him feeling utterly unable to accept the situation. He stared blankly at Su Lin without saying a word.
Chen Ling did not say how Pang Tong should be dealt with. Liu Xian nevertheless treated Pang Tong with courtesy and invited him down from the central command platform.
A harsh glint flashed through Ling Tian’s eyes. Brilliant golden radiance burst from his body, then layer upon layer of dark-golden scales covered him. He charged toward the dragon-headed demon beast rushing straight at him, completely ignoring the azure wind blades shooting toward him.
Although Li Hongling had not told them to avoid the area, they still conscientiously kept their distance from the pavilion.
He sensed that after the Great Dao’s power of eternal life within his body merged with the boundless silver moonlight, it was undergoing an unforeseeable transformation.
When Tang Song looked toward them, the two men raised their palms, split their mouths into ghastly grins that exposed their pallid teeth, and assumed a ferocious stance, as though they intended to fight Tang Song and the others to the death.
He was somewhat worried. If he lost to Ling Tian and paid out a hundred high-grade spirit crystals, while Bei Lieying won and also obtained the demon-beast core, then once news reached his family, his reputation would likely sink even further.

“You may have the upper hand today, and we may be unable to defeat you, but are you certain you can kill all of us?” Zhang Qing looked at him.
Apart from the Tongfu Inn, there were many people in the streets as well, and quite a few carried weapons. The atmosphere was thoroughly that of the martial world.
When Da Gama saw that his younger brother Paul wanted to argue with the general, he immediately stopped him. In the face of overwhelming strength, what right did they have to reason with anyone?
Blame Heaven? Forget it. They were all going to die anyway, so let things take whatever course they would. If he himself refused to believe it, then perhaps it had never happened in the first place.
The problems encountered by Xiao Ruoyi’s company had always been resolved by her secretly, whether they involved financing or interference from the external environment.
Under ordinary circumstances, smuggling grain might not have been so serious. But now that the imperial court had made its stance clear and intended to wage war against the Da Nei family, smuggling strategic supplies was tantamount to treason.
A soldier carrying a bamboo basket passed by a ravine, but because he lost his balance, he fell in. Several seconds later, the echo of his body striking the ground finally reached them.
“Uncle Sun, if you refuse to believe me, then just treat it as a last-ditch attempt to save a dying man. Tell me what you think!” Zhang Qing spoke up as well.
These were not the materials I wanted. They had been poisoning me for a long time. The matter involved not only the Ninth Princess; Consort Ma might also be implicated.
But Mu Xuan did not want to accept this Bright-Life Preserving Pill, only to have Zhao Min mistake it for an acceptance of her recruitment.
