Volume 1, Chapter 44: She Wants a Divorce Because of Zhao Minghe!
Yu Tingwan looked at the young man standing before her.
Recalling the first time she met him, he had worn a school uniform washed to a pale hue, paired with a pair of white sneakers that had long since turned yellow.
Back then, sitting across from her, he had been so nervous that he could not even hold his coffee steady.
Today, clad in an expensive tailored suit, every gesture of his was vastly different from the past.
"It seems that over the years, you have truly lived up to expectations."
He glanced out the window. Today's weather mirrored their current mood; the blue sky and white clouds were entirely gone, replaced by dense, gathering storm clouds, making it obvious to anyone that a torrential rain was imminent.
As soon as he entered the Valley of the Medicine King, he encountered a giant python. Without a second thought, he drew his bow and unleashed a barrage of arrows, shooting the massive beast to death on the spot.
The driver trembled all over under the reprimand, not daring to utter another word, and stood aside shivering.
"Stop right there!" Duan Zijue let out a furious roar, putting his full strength into a series of fierce, sweeping attacks that left Lu Changfeng struggling to parry. Yuan Wan'er wanted to step forward to help, but she was far too weak to get close. After all, as someone who had just broken through to the Martial Spirit realm, she had yet to consolidate her foundation, let alone learn any spells.
Their relationship had been quite good for all these years; how could he possibly commit such a beastly act?
He pondered for a moment. If he were playing this Camille, turning the tables to solo-kill a Renekton might actually be achievable.
The players trembled in fear, several of them bleeding from gunshot wounds, and quite a few had wet their trousers as they gazed at Saburo Watanabe standing in the center of the courtyard.
Unless they were blessed with exceptional luck, there was an overwhelmingly high probability that all of them would perish without ever finding the correct tile.
At that moment, Song Shiwei raised her gaze inadvertently, watching in shock as Huo Yanxing walked toward her, holding Lingling in his arms and holding Baibai by the hand.
Within the span of a single hour, that outer-sect elder issued three successive commands, targeting the loose cultivators around Taiping Town, the Misty Spirit Mountain Range, and Sanxuan City.
The only reason she had agreed to Su Yichen's appointment was to slightly clear herself of suspicion and, by the way, find out precisely who wanted her dead.
Seeing Youzi's rosy cheeks, Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief, stammering and hesitating with a look that suggested she had more to say.
That being the case, Yang Xi had no choice but to throw Lian Xiangdong even further off balance, so she informed Lian Xiangdong over the phone that Director Ma had rescinded his punishment.
Seeing his offensive move halted by Luosheng, the man in the long gown ordered the other four to swarm forward together, intending to completely crush and execute Luosheng here through a five-man encirclement.
Su Qiu'er still felt a bit hesitant, but Siyan stepped inside fearlessly, unperturbed and poised.
Youzi's words carried no superfluous emotion, delivered as though the matter had nothing to do with her at all.
Though this was indeed the jungle law of the strong preying on the weak, if anyone dared to apply it to him, Luosheng, they would simply be playing with fire and burning themselves.
"Replying to Your Highness, the wet nurse has already gone to summon her, and I believe the third young miss will be here shortly," Feng Yueyou said weakly upon hearing this.
Feng Yi had never laid eyes on what the Essence Heavenly Stone looked like. Seeing it for the first time now, he did not doubt its authenticity and reached out to take it.
"Sorry! Escalator under maintenance! Please use the stairs!" The worker carrying a tool bag set up the warning sign and shouted without raising his head.
Countless thoughts raced through Lu Zhan's mind as he plotted a myriad of possible ways to stew this fox once he got back.
"Are you alright?" Hanasaki Rin walked over to help Yako up from the ground, but Yako slapped her hand away and ran off.
Even Julie had bypassed him, stepping into the second tier and completing a tenth of the progress.
"Solidify your foundation, accumulate your strength, and starting from now, begin preparing for what comes after breaking through the Saint Spirit realm." Nodding with satisfaction, Lin Zhiyuan laid out his demands.
