137 The Great Demon King 16

However, Su Jiu had never once said that Xie Rongjing was an uncultured brute; everything was merely the result of her own self-righteous imagination and sense of superiority.

"Changes?" Lu Qi asked suspiciously, his lecherous eyes fixed intently on Yang Tingting's chest.

Huang Liqiong was unaware that she had already fallen out of favor with her grandmother. Sitting stubbornly on the ground and refusing to get up, she hoped that Xu Meiyun would coax her.

"Alright, alright, enough said! I know you're a man of honor!" Tang Taihong waved his hands hastily, then seemed to recall something. His face was filled with utter shock, his mouth agape wide enough to swallow an egg. The green twig he had been biting between his lips seized the opportunity to break free from its restraint and dropped toward the ground.

Farmers tilling the land, regardless of whether the harvest was good or bad, had to pay the agricultural tax—that is, a proportion of grain corresponding to the acreage of their farmland.

"That's all we can do," Lu Qi said, pulling a spirit beast pouch from his storage ring. Inside it was still kept a winged tiger. With a subtle flick of his divine sense, the winged tiger flew out with a whoosh.

"The eggs sold for nine yuan today. I wanted to buy a pound of meat to wrap some dumplings, but there was nowhere to buy it. The three of you siblings are at the age where you're growing fast; lacking oily food will stunt your height," Grandma said with disappointment.

Zhou Aiguo was sentenced, and a portion of the knowledgeable villagers in Dahuang Village understood that he had broken the law, which was why he was locked up in prison.

"What on earth is going on? You need to explain it clearly first." I was instantly filled with immense curiosity, unable to either fully believe it or dismiss it entirely.

"Find a way to trap this monster and try your best not to let it bleed. If it bleeds and we happen to cross paths with it, we're done for." Hearing the Holy Mother's words, my uncle reacted immediately.

In fact, the two brothers were profoundly unfortunate. Becoming pawns in the hands of two fallen angels was entirely because the underworld was simply too boring.

A space gate a hundred zhang high stood upright, dim light shimmering along its edges to maintain its stability without dissipating.

All the immortals and deities roared aloud, their fighting spirit surging. A terrifying combat aura enveloped the void, causing the nine battle swords to hum incessantly, the sharpness flashing upon them growing ever more formidable. These battle swords fed on fighting spirit; as long as the fighting spirit remained unextinguished, they would possess a continuous and inexhaustible source of power. This was the protective amulet Lu Ning had bestowed upon them, immensely powerful.

Wang Feng was entirely sunken into the ground, leaving only his head exposed outside, along with his raised hands.

As for practitioners of sword-cultivation techniques, the sword vessel itself externalized into a domain of swords. Once anyone entered this designated area, no attack could possibly escape.

Sighing so softly it was barely audible, she still refused to accept him. Over these past days, whenever her rejections failed, she would simply choose to ignore him, and he had long since grown accustomed to it.

Who would have thought that the moment he finished speaking, the Lord of Hongze City showed not the slightest hesitation; his spear trembled, and he directly pierced through the neck of that deity and demon, killing it with a single blow.

"If you ever dare to use your wolf claws to touch me again, just try it," Tang Ning'an continued to scream hysterically.

Lin Sixian beckoned, signaling Shi Jian to step forward, and whispered a few instructions in his ear. Shi Jian nodded and left.

He Yunlong then introduced himself in turn and introduced everyone one by one to Qi Yi. Yet Qi Yi remained extremely aloof, merely glancing at the group out of the corner of his eye from start to finish. After giving a slight nod, he continued tinkering with a mechanical arm in his hands, ignoring everyone else completely.

"Sister, am I being too selfish?" Lin Feng finally calmed down, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he met Lin Yueting's comforting gaze.

Afterward, the Golden Dragon Emperor requested Empress Dowager Xiao to sign as well, and asked Yelu Luming to sign and stamp his seal. Marshal Xiao naturally signed and stamped his seal in the same manner.

"Stop daydreaming, hurry up and search to see if there are any clues left behind," Meiru Su said as she began rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Right! We couldn't care less about a mere title! Who lives and who dies remains to be seen!" Shabot's tall figure shouted just as fiercely toward the red-robed elder before him.

Qianshui Shui's manner of taking out her card was somewhat comical, but payment took precedence. Seeing the total amount, she didn't even bat an eye. She was well aware of the prices of red wine, and unless it was a rare vintage whose price had been artificially inflated, better red wine did not necessarily mean higher profit margins.

This could only be considered crawling through the heavens; it was still a long way from soaring through the skies and burrowing through the earth. The white ape was not yet proficient in controlling its own aura; without someone suitable to guide it, it would take at least several decades for it to master flight. Zhantian's words once again made everyone understand the importance of having a proper master and lineage.

"That should be fine. You can have her come for an interview tomorrow. As long as she possesses a certain level of professional knowledge and capability, there shouldn't be any problem," she nodded, though the prerequisite was passing the interview and clearing the basic screening.

My nonchalant yet extraordinarily earnest attitude caused Shen Dongxue to glance at Qiyue. Seeming to believe what I said, she cursed me for being a lunatic and then left with Qiyue.

Hearing that Ningfan was dead and that the Shengshi Group was about to be jointly targeted and suppressed by all the major aristocratic families in Jinling, Chu Ming's heart was filled with a sense of schadenfreude as he prepared to watch the spectacle.

However, Morgana was unlike those fools; Morgana was herself one of the powerhouses of their world, and her application of power was bound to be superior to those who merely piled up stats using points.

The contest between the flames and the purple radiance never ceased, but Qian Shouduozhi knew that if he didn't deal with this old man soon, he would undoubtedly lose.

Xia Xinnuan curled her lips. She indeed hadn't deliberately concealed how different she was from Xia Xinnuan, but there was no need to suspect her to this extent, either. If she really had enemies, they would have long been killed by her; they wouldn't have been given the chance to keep jumping around.

He looked toward Xiao Zhimiao, a tired smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. At this moment, compared to those panicking pseudo-gods, he appeared far more composed.

"A god? Is this the extent of it? Then I apologize, but what happens next might exceed your understanding of the word 'god'," Lin Yun muttered inwardly, then lifted his head and puffed out his chest as he gazed toward the rolling peals of heavenly thunder.
