Volume 1, Chapter 33: The Conspiracy

Chu Lingtian arrived at the Jinling Building in no time. Upon meeting, Huang Yanchen was brimming with excitement as she produced an exquisite small box.

"Young Master, I have good news for you. I have found the Profound Ice Vermilion Fruit."

As Huang Yanchen opened the box, a sensation of piercing coldness instantly washed over them. Looking closely, one could see a fruit the size of a marble, resembling a cherry, resting within.

"I spent one million to acquire this at the underground black market in Jiangnan. Young Master, you can now refine the antidote for me. When will you be free?" Huang Yanchen asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"You found it so quickly?" Chu Lingtian was surprised. The Profound Ice Vermilion Fruit was actually...

Dortmund launched a long ball from the backcourt to the front. Outside the penalty area, Koller headed the ball, flicking it toward Odonkor.

The others, though feeling that Qin Yuan’s actions were somewhat inappropriate, saw that those people had already left and dared not continue to oppose him; they simply shouldered their packs and fled.

Tang San, of course, was unaware that the Asura God was about to face a terrible fate. With a heavy heart, he hurried toward Shrek Academy.

The moment he reunited with Kiki on foreign soil, Long Yi felt an unprecedented sense of reality welling up in his heart.

Coincidentally, Coach Guardiola had once played for Roma, so arriving in the city felt like an old friend revisiting a familiar place.

Tang Zhenglong had his right fingers bandaged, leaving only the middle finger exposed; at that moment, he pointed that very finger at Keane.

With the Lunar New Year's Eve approaching, Assistant Shen did not rest, instead flying to Shanghai to investigate the situation at Mobai and negotiate investment matters. She had already compiled the results of her work over these days into a report to be sent to Boss Wang.

A relaxed tone permeated Long Yi's voice, and when Hwang Yeji noticed it, he seemed to subconsciously raise his clenched fists.

Divine radiance flowed over her, and she exuded an arcane, Taoist aura. The divine light, like layers of mist, circled her, making her appear like a celestial being who had transcended the mortal world.

"Pavilion Master, why don't we discuss this outside?" Let him be in a better mood first so that their transaction could proceed smoothly.

Li Shu was not picky about food, and since Ayu was a foodie, the choice of what to eat and where to go was always left to her.

After all, Noble Consort Xiao had raised Jun Wan for a time; if she were rashly killed, it would be difficult to provide an answer should she ever be asked about it.

Thinking that Gu Hanqing would likely return only on the eve of the Spring Festival, at which point another round of social obligations and busyness would begin, leaving them very little time to truly be together, Jiang Jin could not help but feel a sense of regret and melancholy.

Huangfu Ziyi was naturally not a "chuunibyou," but forced by a system that required her to level up, she had no choice but to indulge in such antics along with it.

The members of the diplomatic mission, intimidated by his high status and power, dared not speak out, following his every command without question.

Since taking power, he had kept his two cousins suppressed within the subsidiary companies, never allowing them to touch the affairs of the headquarters.

"Wash that stinking mouth twice and see if it's clean yet. If it still reeks, you'll just have to keep washing!" Mother Zhuang said with a laugh.

One minute before the ceremony began, Huangfu Ziyi finally finished off a steamer of shrimp dumplings. Satisfied, she wiped her mouth and returned to her cool, beautiful self.

Doing such a thing would invite ridicule from others. She could not let others know about such a humiliating loss at this moment, or she would surely be in grave trouble.

When Wukong saw the beggars preparing to bury him, his body involuntarily shuddered. Terrified, the two beggars let out a cry of "Mom!" and dropped him to the ground.

Thinking of this, Li Yong shivered violently, a chill creeping up his spine as a terrifying, uncontrollable thought shattered his composure. Could it be... that we are abandoned pawns?

Hera’s fair fingertips brushed through Helen’s smooth, chestnut-brown hair, her motions so gentle that they stood in stark contrast to the resentment she hissed through gritted teeth.

The Japanese and puppet troops from Xiyang, Hesun, and Pingding counties burned and slaughtered their way along the road, leaving over a dozen villages in ruins; they did not even spare the villages surrounding the county seat.

"If Your Majesty has no further instructions, this commoner shall take his leave." Feng Yiluo felt a heavy weight in his heart; he found this version of Qing Ruifan deeply repulsive.

Al nodded and followed the old Mr. Lu off the airship, stopping before the door to the Chief of Staff's office.

The Golden Feather Order was the tool Gu Lingge used to command her secret guards. Lu Nan was sharp and understood immediately. He wanted to refuse, but seeing Gu Lingge's serious expression, he opened his mouth and then closed it. He had never been one to go against her; if she were unhappy, he would remain troubled for a long time.

"Master Xuanzang, everyone, this is Qian Shui Marsh. Look over there—the thatched cottage on the bank is the recluse's dwelling!" Following the direction of Liu Boqin’s finger, the group looked closely and saw a nondescript hut, facing away from the lake, standing alone on a protruding boulder.

Upon seeing this figure, Lan Youming felt a sense of relief and let out a long breath before walking forward. By the time he reached the white light, it had vanished, leaving only Liu Qi standing in a large crater, staring blankly ahead.

Liufeng was stunned; it had only been a month, but Lin Meiwan's personality had changed so drastically—it was not a good sign. Even so, it would not hinder his revenge. He exited the room and vanished into the darkness.

A tearing sound rang out as the Mad Earth Demon literally split the "Flame Freezing a Thousand Miles" in two; the technique was completely unable to penetrate the fire and lightning soul powers within the demon.

The two collided violently, creating a deafening sonic boom in the air. This time, however, Ye Ming’s figure was not knocked back; he merely retreated a few steps.

Zhao Yun had returned to Jiangling with only a few attendants. Hearing in Jingyang County that the Cao army was attacking, he led the five hundred defenders of Jingyang to assist in the battle, encountering the main force of the Cao army just in time. Hearing that his lord and Zhang Fei were surrounded, he was consumed by anxiety.

The composition of a temporary demon-slaying squad was generally divided according to the overall strength of the tribal warriors. For instance, if a tribe had several ninth- or eighth-rank warriors, they would qualify for the top five or six squads. If they possessed a Soul Warrior, they would certainly qualify for the top one or two.
