Volume 1, Chapter 26: Sorry, I Am Late

"Since things have come to this, I have nothing left to worry about." Lu Guoxun was thoroughly satisfied. "Shiyue, it just so happens that Miaomiao likes you, and you have feelings for her too. Since the two of you are a perfect match, you should just be together!"

Lu Miaomiao: ???

Although they were just putting on an act, she really wanted to ask, "Uncle, have you lost your mind? Didn't you say that older men just trick people out of their bodies and emotions?"

"What do you know?" Lu Guoxun glared at her, signaling her to shut up.

"I did say that before, but it depends on the person. When you go out and associate with those unreliable men, naturally I have to lecture you properly."

Having finished reprimanding Lu Miaomiao, he turned his head and looked at Fu Shiyue with a beaming smile...

Hearing Fu Shiyue express his intentions, Lu Guoxun was very pleased. "Since things have been cleared up, I have nothing left to worry about. Miaomiao likes you, and you have feelings for her too. Since the two of you are a perfect match, you should just be together!"

Lu Miaomiao: ???

"Uncle, have you lost your mind? Didn't you say that older men just trick people out of their bodies and emotions?"

"What do you know?" Lu Guoxun's eyes widened, signaling her to shut up.

"I did say that before, but it depends on the person. When you go out and associate with those unreliable men, naturally I have to educate you. Shiyue is different. I’ve known his grandfather for so many years; how could I not understand his character? And stop harping on about being older..."

Facing the sudden surge in Sun Qian's power, she mobilized with extreme caution the energy of the Ancient Green Lotus Body, which was stored within the various acupoints throughout her entire body.

This was also why, when Chu Nan mentioned using a storage ring, the two of them had, to some extent, disregarded it.

With a shout of "Let's go," Wang Chen led the three of them back to the auction house. As for the belongings of Bei Feng and his group, including Liu Wuchang, he didn't take a single thing. He looked down on them entirely; if the other party had been wealthier than him, would they have needed to resort to robbery?

Hei Mazi had been a flower-thief in his early years. Later, chased by enemies, he had to lie low in Anding City for several years. Long since restless and itching for action, he had frequented these places of pleasure often, spending all the profits from his grocery store there. This time, after encountering the incident with Qian Xiaoxiao, he had already decided to leave Anding City immediately once the deed was done.

To Zhu Sheng's eyes, this scene looked like the two of them were performing a double act, while he was nothing more than a monkey being toyed with.

After entering the "Just Kidding" cultivation mode, the internal energy would no longer converge into the dantian. The spirit had to control the interval of breathing transitions while simultaneously managing the internal energy within the meridians and acupoints of the dantian.

"What's the use of knowing it's a big fish now? With that expert protecting them, we’d only be asking for trouble," Wang Batian said.

Wang Chen had originally intended to return to the Babao Mansion, but changed his direction on the way, driving to the Wang family residence instead. Wang Batian was taking an afternoon nap, so Wang Chen did not go to wake him. It was at this moment that a figure caught his attention: Shangguan Fengyun.

But after thinking it over, Helian Tu decided not to report the Zuoxian King yet. He had devised a better plan, paving a more direct and thorough path for himself to become the Chanyu.

However, Murong Detao never gave up on finding his younger sister, Murong Lan. In the dead of night, before his parents' spirit tablets, he had made a vow many times that he would definitely find her.

"Heh!" Lin Zhan sneered. "Of course, I am not the Black Demon, but since you have heard of him, do you know what has become of him now?" From the earlier conversation, Lin Zhan was certain that this group still did not know of the Black Demon's death. In the past, the mere mention of the name "Black Demon" was enough to strike fear into the hearts of many in the underworld.

What a lowly creature. They could have just bought the item properly, yet they had to speak so cruelly. Twenty yuan thrown away like feeding a dog? I'd like to see which one of us is more like a dog.

Everyone had also learned some rough information... God King Kuai She had been caught by the restrictions in the Flame Passage, and subsequently, after losing a bet with Immortal King Xu Feiyue, he had chosen to follow him.

To put it plainly, this kind of aura was what people commonly called "killing intent." It seemed that this subordinate of Zhu Zichen likely had many lives on his hands.

Jiang Yiyang’s blade flashed as he launched a fierce attack against the Ninja. With only one person left, he was naturally easier to deal with. After several clashing sounds, the two fought their way into the inner hall. The Japanese pirate colonel was greatly astonished to see him wielding the Five-Ninja Sickle.

Zhuge Xuan had no intention of explaining anything. She actually had a favorable impression of Zhao Xiazhun, and reminding her was simply because she didn't want to see her worry about Lan Feng.

Except for the members of the Nalan family, everyone else had only seen Nalan Ruoxue on the internet or television.

Her cultivation realm was still at the Ninth Heaven Great Perfection of the Body Refining Stage, with no signs of a breakthrough. Her strength relied entirely on her Blood Spirit Contract, a secret technique passed down from her ancestors.

Some immortals had stated that high-level demons were not the most terrifying; there were still many Demon Venerable Ancestors in the Demon Realm who were currently in deep slumber. Once they awoke and appeared on the battlefield, that would be truly catastrophic. The emergence of the Demon Venerable Ancestors would mean the devastation of all living things—the end of the universe.

She had previously been frantically chased by the Mad Fierce Supreme. Thinking of his ugly face and his desire to enslave her, Huo Wu felt extremely displeased.

Tu Sha Shen wore an angry expression. His Void Dan swirled, and with a wave of his hand, he swept up a sky full of dust across the sea, intending to wrap Wang Sheng directly within it.

When it came to a "partner," a blurred image appeared in Li Yuanba's mind—it seemed to be someone wearing golden armor, holding a long spear. As the image focused on the face, everything became obscured.

It was precisely because he had let him go back then that the head of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds section at Douyu was forced to "resign in disgrace," eventually leading to the appointment of the new manager, Saori.

Without a sound, a hole was torn in the clothes on Chen Fei's chest. He sprawled out, fell straight down, and hit the ground with a thud.

What a truly beautiful bird! It stood obediently on the bird perch, tilting its head to look at the newcomer. Its feathers were a vibrant red without a single trace of another color, its eyes were round like pure sapphires, surrounded by a ring of brilliant gold, and its beak and claws shone like black gold.

"What good does this do you?" A businessman's inherent sensitivity made Di Chen realize that Su Yan must have her own motives for being so kind as to offer advice.

Because it was Campus Day, everything in the multi-function hall was fifty percent off, and there were lucky draw events; the students' stored-value crystal cards were all buzzing with activity.

After all, this was the old man's birthday banquet. Fainting earlier had carried an ominous connotation, and at his advanced age, Grandpa Luo naturally avoided such things. Feeling slightly better, he immediately had someone help him downstairs; he could not be absent.

"That's good, just wait and see." Shangguan Ting'er revealed a sinister and vicious smile, then hung up the phone.

Ren Ruoli suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, glanced at Gu Pan, who was sitting to Huo Jingxiao's right, and leaned over to sit on his left. In an instant, her haggard face became bewitching.

This feeling of not having control over one's own fate was truly terrible. Moreover, when your fate is in the hands of others, the heights you can reach in the future will also be limited.

Because of this, while the Tenth Elder took people to look for Tang Tang, Yue Zanhua personally took action, fearing that Tang Tang would fall into the Tenth Elder's hands first.

"Yes, a mutant." Kalan extended his hand, and as if stacking sand into a tower from nothing, a crystal-clear glass appeared in his palm.

Was it he who had used Tang Tang first, only to fall in love with her now? When did he start loving her?

"Don't even think about having any crooked ideas. I will definitely not let you take Tang Tang away," Gu Qinglian said, her eyes cold, enunciating each word clearly.

Avril took the cassette tape, looking completely disbelieving, and then she played it to listen.

When Zhou Zheng arrived at the training center, the national team members were training actively. Tomorrow, they would head to Hebei to play a warm-up match. This was a game arranged by "Yingfang," heavily commercial in nature, with little competitive intensity—more like going to a third or fourth-tier city to rake in money from ticket sales.
