Volume 1, Chapter 50: Lin Zhiwan Punishes Fu Jinxing

"You're saying Jinxing is downstairs all by herself?"
"And where is her 'mother'?"
Lin Zhiwan asked.
Mother Zhang replied, "She left, saying she was afraid that if she stayed, she would displease you."
Lin Zhiwan frowned.
If that woman really had such a sense of propriety, she wouldn't have carried on an ambiguous affair with a man who wasn't even divorced yet.
Leng Wuwei knew that the officials on the stage intended to extort him. This was the classic routine of extracting money: first probe the bottom line, then deliver the stick. Weren't his own extortions against officials done the exact same way? The only difference was that instead of a stick, he used some bullshit legal codes.
Every word was reasonable and deeply moving, leaving everyone present to ponder this "what if." The entire imperial court fell into a dead silence, suffused with an oppressive and tense atmosphere.
First came a long lecture of principles, which boiled down to telling this fellow that he needed to study hard from now on and get into a good university later. Seeing that the fellow had actually started nodding off by the time he reached the end, Chen Long was left not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Leaving everyone far behind in the ancient battlefield, he not only successfully seized the championship of the Hundred Domains Hegemony, but also achieved an unprecedented feat by stepping onto the ninety-fifth tier of the Ascending Heaven Ladder, sending shockwaves through the entire Nine Clear Heavens.
Therefore, Yun Xing, being a disciple of the Nine Clear Heavens, could not possibly be a fool. His actions before them were naturally not an act of courting death; even if he regarded himself extremely highly, it was still a jaw-dropping display.
The reputation of Gods and Demons in the Source Soldier World should be quite resounding, right? Could it be that some drastic changes occurred, leading to their decline?
Tempered by the baptism of the battlefield, Cao Sheng looked his age, taking on almost the appearance of a middle-aged man. Yet, watching him knock several new recruits to the ground with a triumphant smile, Li Zheng knew that he was still the same competitive Cao Sheng as before.
There was also the prodigal wanderer Luo Fengyun, of unknown age, roughly nineteen to twenty years old, at the second stage of the Spirit Palace Realm, whose ranking squeezed barely into the top three hundred and fifty.
Those four cards did not remain rigidly in one place either, but instead fluttered up and down, their speed only slightly inferior to Chu Yun's.
However, Hyuga Hizashi was not joking about this; he understood his own son's personality all too well.
"I'm talking to you!" The voice grew even louder. In the past, he had never raised his voice at her. Even when he did speak loudly, it was only feigned anger, and he had never truly lost his temper with her. Today's outburst was genuinely a bit chilling.
Although Gui Sha had been rejected, he studied the cultivation techniques inscribed on the Single Soul Cauldron day after day until he was utterly seduced by them. In the end, he crippled his lifelong cultivation with his own hands and then re-cultivated the techniques of the Single Soul Cauldron. Hard work pays off in the end.
The expressions inadvertently revealed by the men below indicated that Wang Hanzhang's words carried a measure of truth. Many of them had experienced similar encounters, which was why they were deeply grateful to Wang Hanzhang for allowing them to independently command an entire division.
He knew that the road ahead of him would be arduous, with thorns at every step, not to mention the two unconscious fellows he was hauling along. Ye Tian let out a long whistle toward the mountain peak, pondering how to resolve this predicament. Now that Ye Zhengyang had also gone to the Ice Realm, the Heavenly Mansion belonged to him entirely. How was he supposed to manage such a massive Heavenly Mansion?
Seeing the man make a motion to head outside, she didn't know where she found the sudden courage, but she abruptly stepped forward two paces and hugged his waist from behind.
Xiao Long asked anxiously, "Tang... Sister Tang! Is there any result regarding the matter?" Xiao Long had originally wanted to call her Aunt Tang, but hastily changed it to Sister Tang. In her fifties? Xiao Long figured that calling her Sister Tang probably wouldn't provoke her, but once again, Xiao Long was mistaken.
"Well, why aren't you speaking? What are you looking at me for? Could it be that you've truly been captivated by me?" Suddenly, the man turned around, took two steps toward her before stopping, and sized Shui Lianyue up with a playful look. That pair of fox-like eyes emitted a heart-fluttering charm.
