Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Appearance of the Bullet Comments
Xiao Yiyuan and his cousin Xiao Yisheng entered the city gate and were greeted by the bustling, prosperous streets. Xiao Yisheng’s jaw dropped as he looked around, wishing only that he had grown a few extra pairs of eyes.
Impossible. Back when she was with Guan Zheng, she spent every day racking her brains over how to please him and what she could do to make him happy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengming and Xiao Dayong said nothing more. Dressing Xiao Yisheng up in this manner today was solely to win the favor of Duke Tang and his party; normally, they had no fondness for wearing such ornaments either.
There were no new movies playing recently, and he was far too busy with work. Nie Zhao had numerous reservations whenever she wanted to invite him out.
Su Wan said very generously that since they were using someone else's resources and manpower for free, they had to show a bit of sincerity—taking advantage of him was out of the question.
However, what he said was also the truth. After all, those so-called wealthy elites and young scions of the secular world might appear glorious enough in front of others.
Director Huang, I saw your car parked in the factory just as I arrived for work today, though I didn't expect you would actually come. It's so hot today, and the smell in this office is quite heavy; why don't we go sit in my office for a while? There is a fan there as well.
Feng Bin brought home-cooked dishes packed from a restaurant, while Hao Tianshuan carried a large bag of pomegranates, claiming he wanted to squeeze fresh pomegranate juice for Shi Youqing.
Mo Zhenxin looked at the toothpick in her hand, falling into a deep contemplation. Could she really be this unlucky?
Furthermore, without electricity, the mobility of players during the night was drastically reduced. Forget about fighting monsters; they would likely walk straight into a wall just trying to use the restroom.
After all, a super rookie was still a rookie who had only debuted a few days ago, and the true extent of Hao Xieren's strength had remained shrouded in mystery until now.
If not for the sake of the child, Mo Zhenxin truly would have donated her own corneas to him.
Unaware of the exact severity of the grave illness mentioned in Qiaoyi’s letter, the two did not dare to delay on the road. To travel more swiftly, Song Yue hired two additional coachmen along the way, driving the carriage in shifts. In just about half a month, they finally arrived at the imperial capital of Tianyong.
The banknote printing factory seemed entirely untouched by the drastic changes in the outside world, continuing its steady operation and rapidly turning out batches of freshly inked currency smelling faintly of print.
That night, torrential rain poured down. At a certain cathedral in Los Angeles, Kay was speechless as she watched Zhang Chen crouching down and peering downward.
Back in his day, researching the "artificial Soul Reaper technology" in the Soul Society took him centuries; scientific research simply required time.
Murong Che, however, acted as though he had not heard her plea, showing no intention of stopping whatsoever. Instead, the hands gripping her tightened even harder.
"Bingruo, stop this right now!" Chen Wei's status and position were actually no lower than Bingruo's. While Bingruo was merely a dedicated personal bodyguard, Chen Wei was entirely different.
Xing Fei surmised that the diameter of the entire Primordial Wilderness world far exceeded tens of millions of miles, perhaps even vastly more. This deduction involuntarily filled him with a surge of terror.
Li Zhe was inwardly overjoyed; this was precisely the outcome he wished to see—to instill self-awareness and a sense of gratitude in everyone.
Liu Bei thought to himself that he had never seen anyone capable of drinking Lu Bu under the table. He couldn't help worrying: if Lu Bu drank too much, would he accidentally spill the secrets of Emperor Ya?
As for Li Xiang, he was even more wondrous and formidable, capable of deducing Lunhui's identity from a scent he had caught eleven years prior. If someone asked them what they had eaten a month ago, they probably wouldn't even be able to answer.
Su Jing felt a jolt in his heart! There is more than one grandmaster under heaven—what is the meaning of this? Could this old fox actually have a way to invite another grandmaster?
Seeing Chu Ge standing right where he was like an undying god of war, glaring furiously at him, the Lord of Black and White Ridge trembled violently. He hurriedly reined in his soul beast, halting its advance, and did not dare to approach Chu Ge rashly.
Su Xiaorou nodded. Although she was anxious about the situation concerning Haifeng Group, some matters could not be rushed. If she didn't deal with those troublemakers making trouble at Haifeng Group's construction sites, there would be endless troubles down the line.
Xing Fei believed that even though the Ghost Lord—an exceptional powerhouse encountered within the Primordial Zhou Tian—was only at the realm of Ancestral Monarchs, he undoubtedly possessed the strength to annihilate ordinary low-tier practitioners at the Heavenly Dao realm.
"Very well!" Sun Liao was exceedingly pleased. In his mind, he would undoubtedly be recruited and then stand to the side, watching Ye Feng with a mocking smile.
Hou Tianlai and Cui Xiaojuan gradually argued until their faces turned red and their necks swelled; one stood with hands on hips while the other stamped their feet, neither able to convince the other.
A staff member from the men's apparel department approached Ke Xixi and placed an envelope right in front of her.
No one would waste decades of painstaking effort to clear and connect other acupuncture points across their body, because opening just nine main points was enough to directly break through into the First-Rate Realm.
Ke Xixi instinctively felt that something was amiss, her star-like eyes, bright as jade, sweeping vigilantly around her.
To dispel these distracting, random thoughts running through her mind, Fang Zhiqiang dialed a phone call to Zhang Zhenguo. At this moment, only by occupying his mind with work could he find a moment of peace and stop dwelling on such chaotic nonsense.
Just as Ziyue flicked her sleeve, gathering water elemental energy into a silken ribbon, the old grandmaster's fist arrived right before her. She swung the water energy forward, only to find it utterly incapable of shaking that single punch.
At that time, she had long since lost all consciousness, drifting in a hazy daze, completely unaware of where she was.
Feng Yu stepped out of the car first and knocked on the door. After waiting for quite a while, however, there was no sound from within. Instead, an elderly woman living next door opened her door.
Although Biao Feiying was burning with rage, he possessed a keen mind beneath his rough exterior. He understood deep down that missing his opportunities multiple times was not due to the麻药 (anesthetic/drug). The young man before him seemed to have been reborn, effortlessly and flexibly parrying his fierce onslaughts—a stark contrast to their previous exchange in the tomb chamber.
The arrogant man in the python robe retracted his smile and flicked his wide sleeve. The heavily armored elite guards of stalwart build stationed on either side of the python-robed man immediately swarmed toward the plain-robed young scholar.
The cold body gradually warmed. The person with tightly shut eyelids showed a slight flutter in their pupils before closing their eyes once more to a narrow slit. The dazzling firelight made his parched eyes even more uncomfortable. Renewing his efforts, after a long and persistent struggle, he finally managed to catch sight of blurry scenery.
Seeing him put on such an obedient act, Jiang Yi felt an urge to kick him a couple of times, but constrained by the current circumstances, he could only maintain a steady stream of smiles.
Therefore, without further hesitation, the few of them gave Zhan Ying no more chances, launching their attacks almost simultaneously.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while Irelia was handling administrative affairs and preparing to step out, Qin Chuan returned to Qingyun City.
Facing the onslaught of dozens of ice spikes, Lu Bu remained unhurried. As the Heavenly Painted Halberd swept through the air, it intercepted every single ice spike about to strike him, sending a shower of frozen shards clattering to the ground.
The next moment, I hoisted the Ninth Protector into the air and delivered a heavy kick to his stomach. Sent hurtling backward like a football for over a dozen meters, the Ninth Protector finally collapsed onto the ground, utterly unable to move.
