Chapter 49 She Secretly Held His Hand
Although Cui Min was not as formidable as Leng Bing, at this moment, her imposing momentum was certainly not inferior to his in the slightest.
In the painting, Jinyangzi stood upon the Dust-Treading Golden-Hoofed Beast, arms crossed, with nine soul halos revolving behind his head, radiating an aura of supreme majesty. Opposite him, a figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, floating in calm composure. Across the void, sword blades fell like rain, churning with thick electric arcs, and a ferocious battle was on the verge of erupting.
Having sealed the secret chamber, the two old men flanked An Ping, escorting him out of the inn and flying up to the rooftops. After waiting for more than half an hour, upon seeing several star-skiffs leave Desolate God Town and head south, they immediately gave chase. A duel between rival realms was now brought out into the open, and catastrophe descended upon the Southern Moon Mountain Range.
What is more, since Yang Wo had made his attitude clear that he did not wish to see him at this time, meeting with him would serve no practical purpose anyway.
In the letter Helian Tuo wrote to Zhang Qing, he included a gift list, which featured numerous rare and exotic treasures seldom found in the world, top-grade fur garments, precious medicinal herbs, and the like.
"I have been wanting to speak to Father about this matter, but I simply haven't found the right opportunity," Tuka Feng said with a coy, spoiled pout.
Picking up the phone, he told Gu Xiaohui to have Lin Jie wait for me at the school gate after class, before finally settling down into a meditative state of cultivation.
"It's nothing. You can go on watching. I need to go handle some matters at a student's home tonight. Care to come along?" I said with a faint smile.
"Hehe... Surname Fang, let's see how you manage to clean up this mess." As star-skiffs soared into the air one after another, Zi witnessed the scene clearly from the outskirts.
However, when it came to clearing the meridians and acupuncture points throughout his entire body, Lu Yu did not experience any such distinct sensation. The body's meridians and acupuncture points should naturally become easier to clear as one's realm advanced—much like how, after reaching the Innate Realm, it took him only a very short time to open up the remaining eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians.
Looking at the crimson magic core lying upon the table, Wang Feng recognized it immediately. This was a crimson flame-grade nirvana magic core, possessing an exceptionally formidable resistance to fire, yet he still felt a lingering sense of caution in his heart.
Yet the source of Lu Tianxiang's sneering laughter indeed seemed to originate from this ghost-like physique. What on earth was going on here? A sense of dread had already begun to take root in Wang Hao's heart.
Yet now, they were indiscriminately dumping a massive quantity of shares. The company had already been reduced to an empty shell, burdened with towering debts.
Within the life of Fairy Qingmu, every single day was fraught with various intrigues; either she was plotting against others, or others were scheming against her. Whenever a conspiracy was afoot, Fairy Qingmu could always catch its scent.
This was a circular courtyard estate, its architectural layout vastly different from other luxurious mansions in V-City. It lacked towering gates, appearing somewhat lacking in grandeur at first glance, yet upon closer inspection, it exuded an air of affluence, grace, serenity, and quiet seclusion. It felt as though the entire compound were undergoing closed-door cultivation—silent and motionless, yet shrouded in a subtle, swirling mist.
A few bandits swarmed forward together, which seemed effective enough in theory, but the moment the celestial deity brought down his hammer, the heads of the three bandits leading the charge were smashed wide open, while the rest behind them were sent flying several yards away by the shockwave of the Gate of Time and Space.
Just as everyone naturally assumed that the medicinal ingredient would inevitably be secured by the occupant of Box 23 on the upper level, someone unexpectedly stepped forward to challenge him.
Amidst a torrent of abuse, everyone reluctantly had to acknowledge the inescapable truth that they were utterly incapable of defeating this Lin Shui Tian.
However, the sheer number of monsters was simply overwhelming. The massive bodies of Sears and Jie were already crawling with those repulsive creatures. No matter how they struck them down, they kept swarming like irritating ants.
Because of this black stone, he had lingered inside the accelerator for two extra hours. It was now approaching dusk. Fangfang and the ten grass-skirt priests had long since concluded their drills and were busy making preparations for the new moon night ritual.
"Very well! It seems the prophecy has truly been fulfilled; the Tuareg people are indeed destined for prosperity. Let us proceed to the council hall and await them there!" With those words, Martha vanished through a side door.
"It is also for this reason that during combat, whenever the situation turns unfavorable or a stalemate ensues, I will order our troops to fall back. Naturally, before the army retreats, our civilians and dependents must be evacuated first," Ximeng added.
Yet for reasons unknown to him now, he suddenly found this behavior not only completely unannoying, but utterly adorable.
Upon ending the call, Daigo retrieved his toolbox, took out the Victory Hyper Gun and a tracking shell, and swiftly assembled them.
By this time, both sisters had discarded their military uniforms, changing into ordinary dresses and topping their looks with oversized straw hats.
Ren Zhixiang immediately guessed that this extraordinary-looking old man was likely the very reason he had been pinned to the ground right at the entrance.
Tu Chang was momentarily stunned. Under normal circumstances, his spatial ring would have been brimming with gold, silver, and jewels, but his ring had been seized by that damned Bandit-Scaled Ape. Aside from the items tucked inside his robe, he possessed absolutely nothing.
After the various department directors had walked away, Liu Lang pushed open the door to Lin Zhiyan's office without knocking or asking for permission, exactly as he had always done.
And how was it now? The imperial guard, as the emperor's personal army, was actually ordered to be exterminated by the Emperor of Great Ming without having committed any wrongdoing—a laughingstock unheard of in hundreds of years. Yet this joke was precisely the reality they were now facing.
However, cultivators at the Golden Core stage were already revered as True Persons, and thus the magical treasures they wielded were likewise designated as true treasures.
"No, I didn't, I really didn't! I baked this cake with my own hands, how could it possibly be poisoned?" Ling Jiantong pleaded frantically, but with the stark facts laid bare before her, she felt she had no way to clear her name.
This continuous succession of battles with Saint-realm powerhouses, coupled with his post-battle comprehension of martial arts during this period, made the breakthrough of his cultivation as natural as water flowing to form a channel.
Driven by curiosity, Li Yi used his hand to wipe away the dust on the skull, when he was suddenly pricked by something unknown, causing his hand to instantly bleed.
In his daze, his body suddenly grew light and breezy, feeling cool to the touch as though his clothes were being removed. *Ah, let them strip them off, as long as it doesn't disturb my sleep,* he thought, rolling over to continue sleeping.
The bright moon arrived quietly. He lifted her bridal veil, and they drank the nuptial wine of eternal commitment. After that, only a night of spring intimacy remained for the two of them.
This was also a matter Ling Luo had deliberated upon thoroughly. The two had weathered so many trials together, and Shangguan Wan'er had gradually established a certain level of trust and authority in the hearts of the generals of Lingtian City. Having addressed her as "Madam" for so long, it was finally time to make her title official.
