Chapter 25

People living in later generations often say that city dwellers are full of schemes, but now, she has developed a different perspective: no matter how deep the city dwellers' schemes may be, they are nothing compared to the schemes of that young rascal, Zhou Yize, nor can they match his shrewdness.

Niu Sisi, on the other hand, thought to herself that since Rongrong had already been bedded by him and he was now seeking to heal Yu'er, she would eventually be his woman anyway. What else could she do but follow him? Being separated from Rongrong was simply impossible.

In this era, running a pawnshop was practically synonymous with loan sharking; those who engaged in this trade were considered "great philanthropists," and hiring thugs was simply a means of doing good deeds.

Over the years, Li Hui had been secretly cultivating his own influence, promoting many low-ranking officials within the imperial court, and gradually spreading his wings.

The captain directly ordered the police to take the young prisoner away. These conversations contained secrets; although the police station offered a high degree of privacy, one still had to be careful of ears behind the walls.

As this question was asked, a power on the scale of a billion erupted, instantly distorting the space as if it were on the verge of shattering.

Had he not spent many years by the CEO's side, the cold and piercing aura currently radiating from the CEO would have been enough to freeze him stiff and leave him gasping for air.

A glass-like flame abruptly surged from his chest, and as it rapidly spread throughout his body, a cold and sinister power invaded his primordial spirit.

"Earlier, when the old lady said you might have truly calculated the solar eclipse, I began to pay attention to you. After spending some time in contact with you, I felt more and more that you were hiding your true depths."

These servants sent people to report to their masters while surrounding Jia Cong to complain, but after a few grievances, their attention was drawn to the cotton candy in Jia Cong's hands.

Because not everyone had seen the cosplay duel between Ogao and Midrash that morning, and the few individuals before them happened to be among those who hadn't, they were unaware of the effects of this "Moon Mirror Shield."

Bian Hongjun barely hesitated before probing the curtain of light with his spiritual sense. Almost instantly, his figure vanished outside the cave, and the edge of the circular opening near the dark current began to dissolve slowly, finally merging into the mud of the surrounding swamp.

And so, during that basic course where almost everyone else was grumbling, Li Zheng sat there, watching the scene with unceasing schadenfreude.

What if the Mo Xie sword were to break or get lost one day? He still had a backup, didn't he? There was no need to worry about the main sword controlling him someday.

Seeing Baili Xiren suddenly unleash an ultimate technique, Ding Bu'er dared not be careless. His Battle Dharma Body reappeared in the mortal world behind him, the majesty of a king imbuing his Indestructible Demon Body, rendering Ding Bu'er like a god of war descended to earth. With a single step, he struck out with a palm that seemed to split the heavens, its power capable of extinguishing the world.

Beyond the fact that each company was understaffed, the influx of new recruits also significantly hampered the unit's combat effectiveness; numbers had increased, but the fighting strength had plummeted.

The rest were all accounts of similar nature: digging up a certain spiritual plant, obtaining a magical artifact, undergoing trials in a certain location, or insights gained from practicing techniques.

Lin Chaoyang had originally thought his cousin was just making up an excuse to get him out of the house, but he hadn't expected there to be a real matter at hand. Regardless, he no longer had to stay in the room and face Tian Xinyi.

Di Tingfeng was blinded by bloodlust and for a moment did not realize that the Three Sea Demon Kings were luring him toward the Sea Demons.

As for those who gave tips, the money simply vanished from their accounts without explanation, and they would never discover it, assuming they had only ever had that much to begin with.

A month ago, the image of that figure in white robes with a silver spear was still imprinted in their minds. A wedding for a War Venerable who protected the nation's peace—how could they not attend?

The second and third platoons quickly moved to the left and right, chambered their rounds, and crouched down in a defensive posture, their right index fingers resting lightly on the triggers, ready to fire at any moment.

He then pulled his hand back, brought the cigarette to his lips, took a deep drag, and exhaled a ring of smoke.

A-Li did not seem to want to mention his own name; when he reached this point, his eyes grew somewhat dim.

Which of the PK battles they had witnessed wasn't a passionate battlefield, with streamers on both sides desperately scrambling for votes?

Another inquiry, the smile remained as refined as ever, and not even a drop of blood had stained that green robe.

This monster took the roller skates from Korrina's hands, put them on with practiced ease, and then beckoned to Zhou Ran.

Kurozawa Ren had originally intended to muddle through, but Furuya Rei was thinking beyond that; he had already allowed his thoughts to wander regarding this matter.

And so, Zett charged toward Genegarg; every step taken by these two behemoths felt as if it were shaking the earth and mountains.

"I suspect that something is trying to control the Eastern cultivation world; otherwise, such changes would not be happening. Of course, this is just my own intuition, and in reality, it has no basis, but that is what my intuition tells me." Looking earnestly at Nie Feng, the Old Heavenly Sword Master said.

"You eat; I've already eaten," Bai Yujie said. Whether it was an illusion or not, Chen Qiang always felt that Bai Yujie seemed a bit off, as if there were some sadness suppressed in her heart.

"Protector Zheng has also been captured by the authorities?" Li Maocai was shocked and immediately collapsed; this was truly the end.

Located within the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, Zhang Xuewu looked at the map where the Japanese division had occupied Xiangrong, the 18th Division on the left flank, and the 10th Division, which had fallen slightly behind.

Immediately, Zhenyuanzi and other top-tier gods entered the formation and, without another word, began a massacre, slaughtering the gathered rogue cultivators.

The sea of lightning completely submerged Tianfeng Gorge, and Zhong Nan, Tang Fei, and the Yaksha King were all caught in the encirclement of the lightning sea for a time.

If Lin Yu hadn't found the existence of this sacrificial altar, he likely would have been left alone on this god-and-demon battlefield with thousands of war ghosts and shadow soldiers, perhaps waiting until some distant time when he could cultivate to the realm of the Ziqiong Venerable—able to shatter the void and travel beyond the physical world—to return from the battlefield.
