Volume 1, Chapter 54: Teaching a Lesson to the Bad Guys for the Woman He Loves
"Wait, wait, can I use the restroom first?" Wan Hui's apartment was small, and the bathroom and toilet were combined. Suddenly feeling a rumble in my gut, I wanted to take care of business.
"Sure!" With that, Peng Haisheng turned and left. As soon as he was gone, Wu Qiu immediately picked up his binoculars to observe the battle situation ahead. About ten minutes later, Peng Haisheng arrived at the front-line position with a regiment of soldiers.
"Wang Hu—" Before Sister Chen could finish speaking, Shaoyang let out an involuntary cry. The rice he had just put into his mouth spewed out like a fountain, and a single grain miraculously landed right on the tip of Sister Chen's nose.
"Actually, I think there's another possibility. Brother Huzi, you said earlier that you handed a ledger belonging to Pang Fumin to Zhou Chuan, asking him to take it to Ge Xiu. But Ge Xiu never received that ledger, so where is it now?" Qiqi asked me.
"Captain, are you alright? Tatata..." Seeing their captain in danger, two nearby imperial guards immediately opened fire and shot the assassins. They jumped down from their warhorses and helped the fallen captain to his feet.
Jin Zhi gripped her mobile phone while the fingers of her other hand traced lightly across the floor, picking up a layer of dust.
"You should drive to the capital, rest for another day tomorrow, and leave the day after." Aunt Luo was just being caring, afraid that this young fellow would rely on his youth and rush off to the capital tomorrow.
Whenever things grew complicated, Lu Yu habitually wanted to shelve them. But the moment he remembered this was a matter of life and death, he tossed and turned until insomnia claimed him.
I thought to myself, judging by how his family spoke, this guy Hu Haibin had been spoiled rotten. His parents' indulgence left him unable to steer the course of his own life. I figured I should help him understand a few things so he wouldn't have to suffer as many detours as I had.
It truly was a case of having to bow one's head under someone else's roof. This was the first time I had suffered such grievance on account of work.
As for Kitanada, she stepped down from the stage and bowed to the audience with a very natural expression, showing not the slightest trace of regret over being eliminated. Her performance earned the applause of everyone present.
Ye Mu was a Houtian martial artist who had reached the Great Completion realm, standing just a step away from becoming a Xiantian martial artist.
No matter what, returning to Yan'an once again and looking at the city, which was noticeably more bustling than in his early years, the three Wang family youths who had entered the city with Zhao Tiehu felt dazzled. In their eyes, this was the city life they had always yearned for.
Because the gaming industry had been battered and bruised by this turmoil, suffering a severe blow to its vitality, how was it ever going to recover?
"Save me! Save me!" A Tamong man wrapped in raging flames lunged toward Chumo.
"Of course! But deep down, he's just like that; I simply amplified it to the extreme!" Zhou Xingchi said smugly.
Thinking back to the thrilling scene she had experienced with Brother Chen Chen yesterday, Gu Qiqi still felt a bit dazed. Although she had made up her mind to calmly accept this reality and face it with strength, it was still hard for her to accept that Brother Chen Chen had suddenly changed into that kind of person.
However, the doctor's parting words had left a deep impression on her. No matter what Chen Chen said or did, she simply couldn't set her mind at ease.
After that, he turned his attention in sequence to the bomb on the wall of the second room and the poison gas in the third room, finally reaching out to deactivate the countdown timer beneath the poison gas.
Stepping out of the emperor's bedchamber, she saw that her sedan chair was already waiting. She stepped inside and sat down, lifting the curtain to look out at the scenery while letting out a silent sigh.
Xia Lixin closed her mouth and deactivated her superpower. After a long moment, the two detectives finally recovered from their nausea and dizziness.
If this was truly the work of the Red Tiger Gang, their objective must be to lure him out to exact revenge for what happened four years ago.
I cast a mournful look at the old Taoist priest, who, like a magician pulling a trick, produced a cup from his pocket.
Seeing this, Mu Ling didn't advance; instead, he retreated a step, forming his right hand into a fist covered by a sudden flash of white frost, and thrust it forward like an enraged dragon meeting the twin-water daggers head-on.
A heavenly soul is not like an earthly soul; if the latter is lost, it can still be called back. Once a heavenly soul is gone, ordinary people simply lack the ability to summon it back.
After feeding Xiangdie another detoxifying pill and ordering some food to be brought to her, Bai Youlan got up to search for the soldiers responsible for staking out the farmhouse.
Before he could finish, Qin Er chuckled and interrupted, "Congratulations!" Knowing full well what a jealous person Gao Shiman was, this "congratulations" was actually sheer schadenfreude.
Fu Shenxing only smiled without forcing her. With one arm loosely around her waist, he used his other hand to take care of himself until the critical moment approached, when he pulled her tightly against him with a hard-to-control grip. Lowering his head, he pressed his face close to the back of her neck, first nibbling gently before pressing firmly forward, letting out a stifled, trembling groan.
Fu Shenxing paused for a fleeting second, only then understanding her meaning. The murderous intent in his eyes surged instantly, and before she could even trace his movements, the muzzle of a gun was pressed hard against her forehead.
The void shattered, churning with endless primordial chaos and pulsing with a destructive aura. Dazzling beams of light carrying supreme divine might came crashing down to obliterate everything.
"Hah, what else does your Emperor Weapon Mountain want? Do you intend to run amok within the Heavenly Saint Sect? Although the situation is tense right now and I am forced to weigh the bigger picture, it doesn't mean the Heavenly Saint Sect has fallen so low as to passively swallow any insult! If your Emperor Weapon Mountain wants a fight, the Heavenly Saint Sect will naturally accompany you to the bitter end!" the Heavenly Saint Patriarch declared in an overbearing and ruthless tone.
