Chapter 45: Drunken Ramblings

"Hello?" On the other end of the line, the man's voice was as low and cold as ever. "Jiang Yu, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yu didn't reply. She simply held the phone, humming indistinctly.
Hearing no response, Fu Boyun's tone suddenly chilled.
"Jiang Yu, if you don't say something, I'm hanging up."

Zhang Wei rarely showed up at school, skipping classes as a matter of course. For him to appear in the cafeteria today—if not to collect protection money, what else could it be?
Both of them possessed cultivation at the Spirit Sovereign Moon level, yet in Hou Ningyu's hands, Huang Xinhai was utterly suppressed, unable to fight back at all. This demonstrated just how overpowering the Law of Time could be.
Leaning against the window, gazing down at the scenery below, I felt a strange impulse—almost as if jumping straight down from here wouldn't be any big deal.

After leaving Wang Ben's residence and riding in the sedan chair for another half hour, Wang Yuan's and Wang Ben's sedan chairs finally came to a halt.
Han Sanbao felt a chill creeping through his heart, yet there was no turning back. With a flick of his Immortal Register, he charged to meet the attack.
They could sense it—in the full force unleashed by these two, such terrifying power meant that they might not even withstand a single blow before being gravely injured.
In just a few breaths, the screams ceased. Tu Wanli collapsed limply to the ground, his entire body wrapped in countless threads of blood, which surged back like water absorbed by a sponge, instantly vanishing into Han Sanbao's palm.
Yet after everything succeeded, the obsession in his heart suddenly faded, replaced by fear. Lin Lan, meanwhile, ignored him completely.
"So this is the Violet Moon Overarching Sky..." Hou Yu murmured repeatedly, and a look of enlightenment gradually dawned in his eyes.
Whenever Ling Yihan so much as touched Nangong Yumo, his self-control nearly shattered, his body's reaction clamoring for more. If not for the circumstances, Ling Yihan would have taken her right then and there.
Luan Feng remained motionless, the faint smile still lingering at the corner of her lips, but her dazed gaze slowly cooled, and even the winds around her stilled.
Suddenly, as she plummeted downward, another force surged from below, lifting her upward. There was nothing solid beneath her, only a current of wind rushing up to catch her! Such a feat required immense, precise control over the wind to counter the force of gravity dragging her down.
She feared Xi Jincheng would leave Tang Zhenlong awkwardly holding out his business card with no one to accept. Just as she reached to step in for him, she realized she was already a moment too late.
If Lin Tianyao were only the leader of the Martial Alliance, perhaps their rise wouldn’t have been so fervently anticipated. But ever since Xuanmen Sect found the Catalyst Herb for Lin Tianyao and he then advanced Yan Liang’s power to the Heavenly Realm—
That inadvertent gesture gave Mu Yunfan and Jian Xiao the illusion that Ji Qianchen was tracking them by following the tire marks.
Soulbone Tempering treated a person like an elixir in the furnace, while the Soul Refining Pill merely protected the soul of the one being tempered from burning away.
"Director Fu, hello! It's really nothing so special. Director Zhang is far too generous with his praise!" After greeting Director Fu, Zhou Xiao replied modestly to Director Zhang.
Many things could have been dealt with in advance, but precisely because of some troublesome situations, the Five Elements couldn’t be accomplished as planned, making it impossible to provide Jun Fuxiao with sufficient support.
