Volume One, Chapter 28: Bad Dad

Su Rongze hurriedly snatched Su Tian away, shielding her in his arms for fear that Ji Zhixu might actually kiss her.

Shu Xingruo pulled Ji Zhixu aside, feeling embarrassed, and said, "You cannot just kiss a little girl whenever you want."

Ji Zhixu replied, "I wasn't just kissing her randomly. I kissed her because I like Tian-tian."

Shu Xingruo: "..."

Su Rongze immediately retorted, "Little brats aren't allowed to date! You have to wait until you're an adult."

"Fine, then Tian-tian, you wait for me until I'm eighteen, and then I'll kiss you."

Su Tian hid in Su Rongze's arms and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two children left them feeling incredibly awkward. They rushed to their cars, each taking the opportunity to lecture their respective child. Especially with Ji Zhixu, Shu Xingruo said, "In the future, you cannot just..."

Upon entering the cockpit, Yuan Shuai saw a man in a captain's uniform with his back turned to him. He looked as if he were in a deep sleep, completely unaware that someone had intruded into the cockpit.

Qin Tian did not dare to speak further; he turned and walked over to Fan Tian. The two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with apology.

"She hurt you," the Sword Slave said. There was an inherent, biting chill in his tone, quite unlike that of an ordinary person. It seemed that if Shu Mei had not been harmed, or if she had not shown any desire to seek revenge against Yang Ruoxi, the latter would certainly be in a much worse state than she was now.

"No, it's not over yet. I'll pay double the price—you win her over," Ye Tian took a deep breath and said slowly.

"How about I go and buy the best-looking one first?" Ling'er asked upon hearing this, turning her head.

"Just take it," Caiying said, cutting short Manager Zhang's feigned reluctance. She had noticed that while his words were hesitant, his gaze remained fixed on the bulging money pouch in her hand.

"Master!" Baili Bu called out again, reaching out to embrace Chi Yu's feet. But before him, like mist dissipating, Chi Yu vanished as quietly as she had arrived.

"Half-hidden, half-revealed. It makes one want to commit a crime," Le Piaopiao muttered, subconsciously licking her lips. Suddenly, she felt the thatched cottage grow stiflingly hot.

Seeing Ye Mu slumped over the table, Xiao Nuo, who had been standing not far behind her, hurried forward.

Turning his head, he saw Liu'an and the others having finished tormenting the man. They had beaten him until there was likely not a single intact spot on his body, and only then did one of them deliver a final kick, followed immediately by a piercing scream.

The mother of the Corpse Flame Gu seemed to realize it could not escape the old man's pursuit. With a sudden turn, it stopped fleeing and dove straight into Gu Changqing's body.

As the words fell, a pressure as formidable as the will of the universe crashed down upon the shoulders of the Five Elements Emperor.

Kobolds are cowardly by nature. The boldness of the Riverbend Kobolds was entirely spoiled; once they left the river and lost their protection, they became utterly spineless.

"You were acting a bit arrogant in front of your brother-in-law today. We are all family, aren't you being a bit too ostentatious?" Lin Lei asked suddenly.

"Haha, good thing I didn't step in, otherwise that would have been too awkward!" Zhou Haihua said with a look of schadenfreude.

In truth, she knew that the so-called courage found in school was nothing more than a joke in the cruel reality of society.

Xiao Ce leaned against the mountain, took a gourd filled with life essence from his storage ring, opened the cap, and took a deep gulp.

Spirit swords possess greater spirituality than mortal blades, and they harmonize more smoothly with a martial artist's energy, allowing for much greater power.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng quickly dialed the whistleblowing hotline as Li Qian had instructed, detailing other illegal and criminal activities committed by Zhang Zhijian.

They still did not know who his father was, as they had never seen the man.

Yang Zhengye felt a bit awkward, but recalling that the first thing the man did upon waking was to shout for him to run, he decided to let him go out of gratitude.

Sun Ming was truly terrified. His grandfather's gentle comfort nearly caused him to lose control of his emotions, and he almost wept in Sun Zhanshan's arms out of grievance.

"Well, take a look. It might be good for the recovery of your internal energy," Yinyue said to Ye Long.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes stared at the sky. Everyone's gaze remained fixed on the two lines of glittering golden characters.

As his legs rose, he did not keep them straight and motionless; instead, he adjusted their direction in mid-air to avoid the trajectory of the water droplets being fired at him.

Leng Feifei looked at Ye Long, helpless. Could this guy be a little more low-key? Did he have to be so arrogant?

The Pterosaur's neck and head moved like a spear, striking left and right as its body turned, causing the Scavengers and Platinum members to fall to the ground, injured.

Such an arrangement forced us to speculate on the intentions of the Monarch of Maink. If we did not handle this well, the consequences could be dire. Whether it concerned our reputation or our safety, any failure would ultimately be our loss.

They could only pray in their hearts for Xiao Yi, hoping this young man who had stood up for them would remain unharmed; otherwise, where would the men who were originally responsible for their protection hide their faces?

After managing to settle his mother, Yang Ping, his father finally had time to check on the pest damage. On this issue, his father was the one with the most authority; after all, he was the seasoned veteran of the family, while Ye Yan rarely spent time in the fields and was completely clueless, knowing only the barest surface details.

These people must be the powerful cultivators of the Gongsun family, and it was very likely that one of them was their patriarch. Zhang Kuan and Zhang Qingyue finally understood this, yet they still could not accept the reality, including the fact that they were currently unable to move their bodies.

Jin Jiasheng noticed more than just that. When he arrived, he saw them talking to Wei Churan, so he was certain it had something to do with her. However, he did not ask; he simply excused himself and left.

As long as the other party was eliminated, it would be a permanent solution. This was one of the methods Long Batian considered best.

In fact, Chen Dongqing did not expect to find the old gentleman this time, because people who love to cook want fresh ingredients and would certainly shop early.

Tang Jie exhaled a breath of scorching air and slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing in them.

This Daoist Yongtang was no ordinary person; he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Lingxuan Sect. His status and position were far beyond that of an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator, yet even he treated the tall, dark-haired man as an equal.
