Chapter 144: Lin Hui's Regret

Lin Hui glared with burning fury at Lian Xiaohua, who was holding Fang Wenxuan’s hand. Not only did Fang Wenxuan not pull away, but he even tightly grasped Lian Xiaohua’s hand and said, "Of course it’s true. My home isn’t very far from the criminal police detachment—only a twenty-minute walk. I’ll also give you the detachment’s office number and my personal cell phone number. You can call me whenever anything comes up."

Hearing Fang Wenxuan say this, Lin Hui grew even more furious and regretful; he shouldn't have tried to stubbornly compete with Fang Wenxuan just moments ago.

"Have you packed all your things? I'll help you move right now. There isn't even an elevator in this stairwell; it must be really inconvenient for a young woman like you to carry so much luggage, right?" Fang Wenxuan said.

"Yeah... I was just worrying about how to get the luggage—"

Especially after Tsunade and Kakashi explained how wealthy Konoha Village currently was, from a normal perspective, they should have focused even more on development. Once the five-year plan was completed, Konoha would undoubtedly reach its absolute peak.

The night when they stood toe-to-toe and even resorted to physical blows felt as though it had happened just yesterday. Running into each other again like this made the atmosphere intensely awkward for everyone.

As he spoke, Qin Yuan’s hand clamped like a vise tightly around the fellow's neck. The man felt as though his throat was gripped by a pair of iron pliers, leaving him utterly incapable of any resistance, unable to even squeeze out a single word.

With just a brief exchange in their initial encounter, he had tasted the terrifying power of this refined corpse, prompting him to retreat without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, the star beasts inside Xun Tian’s body had been completely disassembled, and their boundless energy was absorbed into his flesh and blood, causing his cultivation realm to surge step by step, driving him straight toward the pinnacle of the Super-Star Body.

Looking at Hong Xuanlong by his side, his face was filled with solemnity. Clearly, sealing the Heavenly Dipper was no easy feat for him either. Beihe estimated that to restrain a late-stage Dharma Origin cultivator in such a short span of time, Hong Xuanlong must have resorted to some ultimate trump card.

Especially since the reassignment of Genin missions had caused more than half of those Genin to defect to the other side.

Clearly, Fifteen hadn't even taken a bite directly, and had deliberately stepped back first before accepting the skewer of ribs from that person, only to begin eating afterward; yet, that still couldn't stop the mischievous onlookers from hooting and laughing all over again.

Having said that, Shu Guoyan abruptly pulled Su Budie—who was still holding hands with Xun Tian—aside. In truth, she simply wanted to test what kind of level Xun Tian's current strength had reached.

"You don't need to worry about these things. The car I'm driving is our undercover vehicle with no license plates, and I've also put on a disguise before coming out. There's no way they could spot me."

Speaking of which, the Seven Deadly Sins had almost failed to catch United Airlines, and it was only because Norma helped Lu Mingfei apply for a VIP channel and upgraded him to first class that they managed to reach Chicago.

True to his name, his son was named Ba Waihede, who was exceptionally handsome and reflected the high hopes his father had placed upon him—hoping he would excel both internally and externally... or rather, be trapped and squeezed from all sides. His mother was from Sichuan, named Ba Zhonghede, and as for which specific place in Sichuan she was from, let's leave that unsaid—though Litang in Garze is definitively ruled out. Their family of three lived a very happy life.

After a bout of fluster, the children each held a washed cucumber in their hand, even Sister Yue, who usually cared the most about her image, was no exception.

Uchiha Shizuna’s retreating figure grew increasingly distant, as severed limbs and broken arms flew to either side before the elderly emperor. From Inuzuka贺’s perspective, it possessed the heroic and resolute grandeur of an ancient warrior charging fearlessly against thousands of foes.

Since it had been arranged by Wu Sanxing, and he had come specifically to investigate certain matters, how could he possibly let this opportunity slip by? Naturally, he insisted that Blind He take him along, otherwise he would spill the beans and expose everything.

With a flash of his figure, he descended with a heavy palm, sworn to take Xie Wuwang's life. Yet Xie Wuwang remained unruffled, turning his palm to parry. Even the wrathful strike from the Nether Realm's Heavenly Cocoon could not cause the figure standing with hands clasped behind his back to sway by even the slightest fraction.

Hearing Ding Jiahui’s words, Xu Qingzhou chuckled in spite of himself. Compared to being called a scumbag, being called an "honest man" sounded much more like an insult.

Just as Xuan Duan's words fell to a close, the sound of the zither abruptly shifted. A clear and leisurely recitation of poetry drifted in, accompanying a figure as they leisurely stepped into the scene.

Liu Sisi also invited Yinzhu to take a seat nearby. Accepting the cup of tea, Yinzhu smiled and bowed slightly before sitting down.
