Chapter 42

Lu Hao thought to himself, Hmph! How could I let you just look whenever you please? He walked up to Natasha, his gaze fixed firmly on her chest like a sharp blade, digging and probing. Yet, her attire was perfectly modest; no matter how hard he stared, he could see nothing he wasn't meant to.

Yao Xin was stunned. He hadn't even managed to land a single hit on Hua Rong, yet he had already lost two-thirds of his health. This guy—no wonder the guild leader couldn't defeat him; he was truly a freak.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Wang Jie just stared at me, and I was too preoccupied with my own inner turmoil to think of anything else. My mind was in complete chaos.

I tried to rehearse it time and again, but the result remained the same. I had no choice but to sit cross-legged, contemplate deeply, and recover my strength.

Leng Siya bounced up violently from the bed and tugged hard on Wu Junwei’s arm. Caught off guard, Wu Junwei fell backward, and the two of them sank deep into the middle of the mattress.

Those who had survived the ordeal saw Liu Qitian return and were terrified, fearing he had come to finish them off, and fled in a panic. With a flash of white light, the White Lion immobilized everyone on the spot. Fortunately, there were no formidable experts among them.

"Don't worry. He has already used his Battle Qi to force out the dark energy. It’s merely physical exhaustion and excessive blood loss; he will be fine," Empoli said.

"I’d like to see just how powerful this Spirit Tool can be." A black-and-white stone tablet appeared in Chu Fan’s right palm. He held it aloft, his expression indifferent, though his eyes shot out two glares filled with murderous intent.

However, none of this was my primary concern. Right now, my focus was entirely on Shang Longbiao and his affairs. It had been a thorn in my side for days, and I hadn't spent a single day in peace since.

Beast roars echoed across the heavens and earth, and the winds and clouds shifted. Everyone stopped in their tracks simultaneously, turning to look behind them at the billowing dust. Their expressions were grim, and some even turned pale with fear.

Who told that busty girl to steal her snacks and then break her promise? But those weren't the most important things; Zhou You was stuck eating tasteless meals every time, and on top of that, she would wantonly mock him.

Liu Dongling mused to herself, Why did Ye Muxi go up with Nangong Lin and never come back down? But that was for the best; with her gone, she could easily knock over the lamp stand.

Some of those who enjoyed drinking found the liquor too pungent and burning to the throat, making it unpleasant. Others who didn't care for alcohol simply thought it wasn't as good as fruit wine, which was sweet, whereas this liquor had nothing but a sharp, spicy bite. Therefore, although everyone was curious about the stuff, they didn't see much value in it.

"Meng Yue, I can see that the President is truly devoted to you, to have transferred all his assets to your name..." Xin La was genuinely happy for Meng Yue, but when her gaze turned to Xing Yu, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry.

As soon as Bian Yuanhang finished speaking, the voices of Bian Longsheng, Lan Ye, and Bian Bei'an rang out in both their ears at the same time.

And that wasn't all. Total strangers and people with no connection to them would also come to visit, buying fruit and never asking for a discount. This caused the orders at home to pile up; according to incomplete statistics, the current backlog was already fifty years long. To get a shipment, one would have to wait in line until 2068.

"This is what a true top lady of Jiangnan should be. Not everyone is qualified to hold this title," Lin Shiyun glanced at Ye Muxi and mocked. Ye Muxi hadn't received a single playing card, making her inferior, which gave Lin Shiyun a great sense of satisfaction.

The sheer power of the blood-red giant sword that annihilated the Thousand Moon Slash was equivalent to the first strike of the Eight Desolations Heaven-Burning Finger.

Barking dogs don't bite; biting dogs don't bark. Silence is the most terrifying thing of all.

As the saying goes, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger. I don't even know what kind of poetry appreciation gathering I'll be attending tomorrow. If I perform poorly and end up being resented, that would be a disaster. I'll just have to wait and see when the time comes.

Shen Nanyi felt that something was wrong and quickly retracted his pressure, even struggling to control the power within his body to minimize his presence.

The early summer breeze was warm, not yet as scorching as midsummer, and it felt very comfortable against the face. It was a rare moment of peace and tranquility.

Furthermore, she could imbue her Eight Trigrams Palm with Yang Fire properties. It could not be combined with psychokinesis, and once an object imbued with Yang Fire left her body, the flames would extinguish.

"You should have discovered Uzumaki Nagato by now, shouldn't you? He currently possesses a pair of Byakugan," Orochimaru said with a sly smile, his eyes glinting.

Thinking back to how Martin shifted the blame onto him yesterday and how everyone laughed at his expense, he was fuming. Does he even know what the others in the base are saying about him now?

Wu Ming!!! Dong Yue'er covered her face, only then realizing that she had long forgotten about Wu Ming back at the villa area. Perhaps he had left; otherwise, he would have been discovered by someone. Phone turned off? It must be out of battery. It’s fine, it’s fine.

Zhao Pan sensed that things were going poorly and took the initiative to steer the conversation toward his relationship with Ding Yu, attempting to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.

Arriving at Gu Yu's doorstep, Yuan Qingzhou used her fingerprint to unlock the door and enter, only to find Gu Yu wearing a sexy black dress, all dressed up and ready to head out for a night of partying.

Hearing this, Tsunade struggled to suppress her awkwardness and looked at Qi Yu’s handsome face. However, the vivid and gentle look in Qi Yu’s eyes made her afraid to meet his gaze directly.

The moment the words "Yao Yao" left his lips, Zhang Yao delivered a full-force roundhouse kick to his chest. Long Danchen didn't say a word as he performed a 1,750-degree mid-air spin before crashing heavily to the ground.

Ye Ding took a step forward, and the very earth seemed to tremble slightly. He slammed both palms toward the front.

Lei Long came to warn her, hoping she would leave on her own and stop provoking people she shouldn't. After all, they had once been in a relationship, and as the saying goes, even a single night as husband and wife carries a hundred days of grace.

"The Zither of Fatal Destiny—once the music plays, the cultivator dies!" What an arrogant name. Su Yunxuan’s expression shifted slightly, though he had to admit that the power of the Fatal Destiny Zither was indeed immense; it must be a top-tier Spirit Treasure.
