Volume 1, Chapter 52: Absolute Charisma

The three corpses were instantly swallowed by the Samadhi True Fire. After the span of a single cup of tea, nothing remained on the ground except for two huge seashells.

The New Year was fast approaching, yet the household had not prepared any festive goods yet. Several families were planning to make bulk purchases together, but they could never spare the time to run down to Charcoal Street. The lady of the house kept urging them, noting that holiday prices were constantly rising, and if they delayed any further, they wouldn't be able to afford anything at all. Surely they couldn't be left eating leftover cabbage leaves until spring arrived?

Ning Cheng was observing Su Baijiao and Duan Gan-tai, while Su Baijiao's divine sense simultaneously descended upon Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng quickly withdrew his divine sense and cupped his fists toward Su Baijiao, knowing she had recognized him.

More importantly, Qian Zhen had clearly executed the General's Decree using both of his hands, so how could it possibly result in a bare footprint appearing on Xiang Xiong's back?

"Haha, Captain Long, it's nothing, I did it on purpose. Today I came to help you teach them a lesson—no, I should say I'm helping myself teach them a lesson." Mu Jianfeng also looked with a smile at the rather flashy Long Qianshan, wearing an expression as though the latter had already been defeated by the Korean army.

This ability was far too representative. Even Ian, a knight's apprentice who rarely came into contact with spellcasting knowledge, was able to instantly name it, causing his expression to turn extremely bitter upon doing so.

At Son Ye-jin's words, Kim Hee-sun naturally understood what was going on, and could not help but giggle in response.

Seeing that she had lowered her pride, Jessica found it difficult to keep pressing the matter. She dropped the subject and earnestly resumed teaching Lee Na.

"Caihuang, you truly have my best interests at heart. If it were any other maid serving the young master, given the chance to win the young master's affection, they wouldn't care about all those rules. But since you've put it this way, the young master will listen to you. In a few days, once my body has recovered, you will be mine," Lin Haoming said softly.

Duyuan said, "Prepare the finest wine and the most sumptuous dishes!" With that, Duyuan generously tipped the proprietor of the Xinglong Inn.

"Damn it!" Muzi Yun furiously braced his hands against the wall, roaring as he pushed against it, yet his body continued to slide backward.

This time, instead of merely clamping the blade between two fingers as he had previously done against Qin Yang, he grabbed the edge of the blade directly with his fist.

Although the actors were all men, those who could perform in such a grand mansion were the absolute cream of the crop in the Kunqu opera tradition. Every single gesture, every smile and frown of theirs was so intensely alluring and charming that the surrounding maidservants and attendants were utterly dazzled and captivated.

"Manager An, tonight we are lodging in Suse-se City, and Raya will perform a dance. Manager An is in for a treat," Janadi said with a smile.

"It's him..." Watching the refined man nod, Yun Chen's brows twitched slightly as he muttered inwardly to himself.

And so, having idle hands and feeling mischievous, Ilona snatched another robot and casually dismantled it, then quietly waited to watch the show.

Huzi hoisted the little bell, supported Fang Tianmu, and said to Muzi Yun, "We're heading north. At most three days—if you fail to catch up within three days, I'll turn back." With that, he walked a dozen steps away, then turned back to look. Muzi Yun and Huzi met each other's gazes, both pairs of eyes filled with eager longing.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Behind the Yiluan Hall, the winds and clouds suddenly surged violently. Amidst Duyuan's silent astonishment, stars abruptly burst forth across his field of vision as the firmament descended, and a colossal golden true dragon manifested not far away within this illusory realm.

They had either witnessed or heard of Qin Yang's methods. Since even he was being this cautious, it spoke volumes. Who would be foolish enough to stay behind and throw away their lives? Naturally, they immediately retreated from the hall, headed upstairs to find Qin Yue and Qi Hao, and prepared to relocate them.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Huang Beiyue glanced sideways at her. The look of utter adoration on the other's face gave Huang Beiyue an inexplicable wave of goosebumps.

Over the years, the three major families had developed their economies, and the current Chamber of Commerce was already the premier financial conglomerate in the Red Maple Kingdom. If one were to anger the Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn't even need to resort to physical violence; simply applying economic pressure could easily drive a person to financial ruin—and that was the mildest consequence, while the severe one left victims drowning in insurmountable debts, making any hope of a turnaround exceedingly difficult.

Ling Hao's disappearance was inextricably linked to the Xiao clan. Given Yun Hao's temperament, he would certainly not let the Xiao clan off. However, although Ling Tianniang's abilities were passable, how could she possibly contend against such a powerful and massive clan?

The Red Maple Forest was blanketed by a labyrinthine mist array. Because of the crimson hue of the red maple trees, when viewed from afar, these massive billows of fog looked more like rising rosy clouds, presenting a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

After uttering those words, Ding Hao turned his attention to Qian Qing, who was busy at work. At that moment, Qian Qing was holding Shangguan Fei's dagger, continuously churning about inside the brain of the Scarlet-Practiced Python, his arms and body smeared entirely with blood.

Following the sound of spectacles dropping to the floor, the black cat let out a distorted screech before falling completely silent, as I had hoisted it into the air by pulling the cord.

That girl truly possessed formidable tricks. After destroying the royal seal, how on earth had she managed to forge another layer of contract with the Tiankui?

"Imperial Father, this subject son disagrees with this matter," someone suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting the murmurs of the crowd.

As they approached the vicinity of Love Village, the temperature dropped to just over ten degrees Celsius. The warm sun shone brightly, casting its rays through the car windows and filling anyone it touched with a cozy warmth.

Gai Nie showed no signs of fighting back, allowing Ying Quan to attack at will, yet every single one of Ying Quan's strikes invariably missed.
