Chapter 130: Gu Jiang’s Ambition

Gu Zhuo froze, then turned toward her in some surprise. “Were you calling me?”

She knew that Chen Xinwan possessed a rather inexplicable pride. In her heart, she probably looked down on everyone in Jiujia Village. Even the late Xie Facai had been beneath her contempt. It was only because she had been raised from childhood according to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues that she clung to the belief that “a woman obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage,” never daring to defy him in anything.

So when Chen Xinwan took the initiative to call out to her,

The microwave had been thoroughly cleaned, but a new problem had appeared: the entire interior reeked of gasoline. Even the servers felt nauseated by the smell, and if a guest’s brown-sugar drink were put inside to heat, it would inevitably absorb the gasoline odor.

Fatty Li naturally had no desire to go either. Since neither of them was willing to do it, the matter had reached an impasse. Someone had to step forward and break it.

“Have you been short of work lately? You even have time to meddle in other people’s affairs?” Leng Yifeng glanced back at Fu An, then turned and walked away.

Only then did Fang Jingyu understand. The person hiding in the darkness was the strategist of the Society of Sealing Gods—the master of the Black Tortoise Hall, Black Tortoise.

He absorbed the bloodthirsty, sinister demonic energy of heaven and earth, stood upon the fractured Twelfth-Grade Black Lotus, and released the Heavenly Demon Banner, splitting it into countless nether demons as he battled the Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei.

Yin Gezhi’s lips were cold. Like the rest of him, they only gradually gained warmth as they rubbed against hers.

After going to the Human Resources Department and declaring her identity, she was immediately handed an employment contract. She was told that she would undergo a three-month probationary period and could sign a formal contract only after it ended.

“Why do we have to bring this guy along?” Wei Renwu said impatiently, pointing at Wu Wei, who was following behind them.

The will of heaven and earth had to suppress this Innate Supreme Treasure, but it also had to absorb and merge the object into the world, either to repair the wounds of heaven and earth or to use it as a means of suppressing them.

Her uncle had returned home two days earlier, and her father had also moved back into the old Zhong family residence over the past few days. The Zhong household had become lively again.

In the past, whenever Xiao Rushi was intimate with Chai Jun, she had always given herself to him completely. Chai Jun was strong and vigorous, and it was easy for him to bring her immense satisfaction. How could she not have noticed that the lowly maid named Ziying had just been casting flirtatious glances at him?

In the end, someone who understood the situation found Zhu Xu and asked him directly. Only then did everyone learn that this was a building purchased by Muyuan Development for its own use. They finally abandoned the idea of renting it.

As she spoke, she stepped forward, took a red envelope from her pocket, tucked it into An’er’s pocket, and kissed her on the cheek.

Old Wang deliberately paused at the doorway, and while he did so, Chen Yang slipped straight inside.

Zhao Wuxin did not answer. He merely smiled, poured a cup of wine for the person opposite him, and then raised his own cup.

Her limbs were unnaturally long, and her wax-yellow skin clung tightly to her bones, with the shapes of her joints clearly visible.

Hu Dingtang held himself back as he spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was easy to hear how much he was suffering. At that moment, he was using the last remnants of his reason to fight against the effects of the drug.

The King of Xiang spoke with righteous conviction. “The Ministry of Justice examined those corpses and discovered that each one had a mark like this on its foot.” As he spoke, a sketch was respectfully presented to Emperor Taizong.

Hu Dingtang struggled to prop himself up and embrace me, but he had not yet fully recovered and could not rise. His hand, however, tightened around me and pulled me over.

Ruochu walked closer and only then realized that it was a painting of a beauty amid white snow and red plum blossoms. Plum flowers, crimson as rouge, proudly adorned the branches. Beneath the tree, a beauty raised her head as she reached for a blossom, while petals mingled with flecks of jade and decorated her hair and cloak. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

According to the legendary account of its origins, it exists in the past, the present, and the future—in other words, it has witnessed the birth and destruction of the universe. Only an existence that has transcended the Supreme Crystal-Wall Universe could accomplish such a feat.

Ye Qing hurled himself into it, shattering its last layer of protection with a single blow. With a Dead Spirit Immobilization Technique, he fixed it in place, then struck back with his sword and severed the unguarded skeleton’s neck. With a sharp crack, the head of the Undying Reincarnator fell cleanly to the ground, and the soul flame in its eye sockets vanished at once.
