Volume One, Chapter 34: She Came Intentionally to See Me Humiliated

"Manru, do you think such a marriage alliance has any meaning?" Pei Junhao leaned against the headboard and asked in a low voice.

Though the words were disjointed and trembling, Liang Yin understood them perfectly. After giving the person a hug, she turned and ran toward the city gates.

For some reason, Leng Wuchen suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He realized, to his surprise, that Lin Hanxi had become so familiar with those around him—a development he had completely failed to foresee and had entirely overlooked.

"I didn't expect it to be so impressive even when it's not doing anything," Gao Lan said to herself, stroking Li Hao’s massive member without a trace of shame. She seemed quite smug, enjoying the fact that this man’s anatomy was in her hands, curious to see what he would do about it.

"Luo Qi, haven't you always wanted to work in the administration office like Hongxiu, Xiuning, and Wugou? I’m thinking of establishing a new department now and want to find something for you to do. Would you be willing?" Yu Ming asked in a steady voice.

Guided by Weimo, Jiang Yi and Ling Yanyu entered the temple, where a number of ascetics had already gathered.

However, he needed to understand the situation now. Perhaps due to his long career in business, Pei Junhao tended to treat any matter with gravity once it touched upon something critical.

In a hazy state, I felt the boat moving again, rocking and swaying. It made me feel nauseous, yet I couldn't bring myself to vomit.

Long Yinxuan nodded in agreement. His deep eyes gazed into the distance through the tent flap; only he knew what he truly intended to do about this matter.

This was the guy who claimed he could take on three blood hunters single-handedly! Now, he was tied up here, looking pathetic. I didn't know whether to laugh or be furious.

"I will absorb the root of divinity from everyone. Let this world bid a final farewell to the word 'assassin'." As Tian Ming finished speaking, Chen Tian’s expression twisted instantly. "Impossible. I will absolutely never let you do this, even if I have to kill you." Chen Tian erupted with divine power, activating a gravity field in a desperate attempt to strike down Tian Ming.

Yuan Qindan added one final remark; Yuan Qingrou’s arrow had stunned the entire crowd, and even if he wanted to forget it, he couldn't.

The clouds remained brilliant, and the beach beneath the sky appeared mottled, like scratch marks surfacing in the clear images of her memory. Ye Ming thought about how she had been strolling on this very beach with Zhan Beiting only yesterday, but today, the scene was entirely different.

To prevent Qisha from engaging in any rebellious behavior, Mo Ming decided to make an example of someone here to establish his authority.

Le Tian wore a bamboo hat and had altered his appearance; even Ouyang Chen might not be able to recognize him.

"Gale Spiral Drill." The whirlwind drill on his arm was a new technique of his wind-based ability. Last time, a phantom had used it with its feet, but this time, Ye Ming used his hand. It acted like an electric drill, shattering all enemies in his path and piercing through layers of obstacles.

Tan Xiaoshuang was waiting in the training room for Ye Ming. Today’s task was to stimulate the latent ability energy within him so he could possess an power of his own; only then would he have the means to survive attacks from the strong.

"Chu Fei, do you really not understand my feelings? Can you truly not see them at all?" Zeng Sheng asked.

It seemed they hadn't been together this peacefully for a very long time; it had been so difficult to welcome such a brief moment of happiness and tranquility.

But as long as there was even the slightest possibility, Mu Ya would not take it lightly. She didn't want to do anything she would regret.

Several veteran artists had grim expressions on their faces; they shared the same concerns as Zhou Huan.

This effectively legalized all of Ye Yizhou’s assets; even if someone were to investigate, it would appear perfectly legitimate and lawful.

As young people, especially those within the magical world, they had all heard their elders speak of the duel between the two nations that had taken place ten years ago.

The six MSK police officers looked at one another, and finally, with a tacit understanding, they slowly crouched and lowered their handguns.

That Wu Xunyu would think this way showed that, in her eyes, Lu Jianuo was exceptional—which only proved how subtle the system's arrangements truly were.

She had never faced her feelings for Lin Muzhi directly; she didn't know what kind of emotions she held for him.

In their generation, when they saw foreigners, they felt the others were incredibly formidable and were so intimidated that they didn't dare to speak.

Er, Qingwu imagined a day where Xinghun was orchestrating strategies and winning battles from a thousand miles away... that was the polite way to put it; the less flattering way was to call it scheming and plotting. She immediately felt a chill at the thought of such a sight—it was too beautiful to look at directly—and decided to let it go.

A white-haired old man held a massive staff, half a meter in diameter, thumping it against the ground occasionally or swinging it to create a whistling sound.

Yet, after all these years, he was shocked to discover that he didn't understand her at all.

Leng Xianning ran all the way, bumping into countless palace maids. She seemed to hear Lady Li’s curses, but she had no time to pay attention.

Shu Mo felt that, if one really had to settle down, Yin Tianchao was actually a very good candidate.

If it weren't for the bet made with Ruan Xinru that day, none of this would have been possible today.

Escorting Lian Rong to the door of Bao Lu’s room, Ling Xi reached out to turn the doorknob, only to find it wouldn't budge.

"She must have obtained permission from the Second Sister." Ruan Mingyue’s voice was neither loud nor soft; it sounded neither like a lecture nor a mere observation, yet it made one feel as though this were simply the calm before the storm.

This was a gathering place for countless reserve guardians; one could throw a stone at random and hit a monstrous genius.

It wasn't that the Persian merchants were inherently wicked, but the prices they charged for various spices were simply astonishing.

Upon hearing there would be a reward, the servants’ spirits lifted. They knelt in unison and replied, "Thank you, Miss Ling!" and set to work with even greater vigor.

This made Chang Jing incredibly nervous. He tried to rush forward several times but was held back by Yan Le’s internal energy. Yan Le told Gao Ying to get up and continue on her own. Gao Ying was resilient; she fell, stood up again, and continued practicing until she had finally completed the martial arts routine.

She had to finish the matters of the First Sequence first; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to put her mind to anything else.

"No need to go get some; we have red string at home, use whatever you need." Jingfen hurriedly rummaged through her cabinets, brought out two or three bundles of red string, and handed them to Wangcai.

Although this combination lock wasn't high-end technology, it was indeed difficult to open because one didn't know which device it was paired with. Even if one knew the paired device, as soon as it was opened, the other side would surely know.
