“You’re laughing too?” He Shiyi and Qingqian sat in a side hall. The people outside could not see them, but they had a clear view of everything beyond the doors. Naturally, the two of them had witnessed what happened in the shop. He Shiyi suddenly turned to Qingqian.

“There are no buts. Going abroad has always been her wish. What right do I have to interfere?” The words were spoken in an ordinary tone, yet after passing through the heavy door, they seemed to carry an added note of loneliness.

When the notification appeared in the livestream, hundreds of thousands—perhaps millions—of people across the country let out a howl at almost the exact same moment.

Qinghong gathered her thoughts and walked toward Mu Qingyu with graceful, flowing steps. Wherever she went, everyone hurriedly moved aside and smiled at her amicably.

He had struck Johnson until blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and a ferocious glint showed in his eyes. At that moment, Johnson truly wanted to kill Chen Feng, but unfortunately, he did not possess the ability.

Qinghong sighed and slowly shook her head, pity flickering in her dark eyes. If Zichen knew what she was thinking, he would surely be furious enough to spit blood. What had he done to deserve being labeled mentally unstable for no reason?

“Forget it. Gu Xiyan is taciturn and never had particularly good relations with his colleagues. From the time the incident began until now, you are the first person to plead for him. You two barely have any dealings with each other, so why are you suddenly speaking up for him?” Luo Rongkai glanced at He Shiyi, clearly puzzled.

Using the gangplank, the several plump, fair-skinned merchants boarded the ship. The moment they saw Chen Feng, they were so overjoyed that they burst into tears.

On the vast open plain, an army was racing forward. They were all cavalrymen; their warhorses snorted clouds of white vapor, while the riders’ faces were flushed with color.

“A hundred-household commander guarding the city said that the man who opened the gates and surrendered the city was Hu Zigao, nephew of Duke Cheng, Zhu Chuchen,” Liang Kewang replied honestly.

There were not many senior officials of commissioner rank in the Hong Kong Island police force. Most of them knew one another; the only difference was how well.

It was not merely a matter of the vehicle. Just hearing the words ‘Hummer’ was thrilling enough. Shen Ping’s gaze swept toward Cao Xue. Her personality was somewhat fierce, but with a figure like hers, she was still entirely a sweet, delicate girl. The contrast only made Shen Ping more excited.

As for the purpose behind the other party’s two hints, Shen Ping understood it perfectly. It was nothing more than the right to issue Hong Kong currency, which he had obtained after acquiring Standard Chartered Bank.

Although his mouth and body had caused his appearance to change drastically, he recognized that familiar voice at once.

At the very top of the Judicial Tower, a sword duel had already begun. However, the moment Zoro shouted those four words, the nature of the duel changed completely.

With a single thought from Nangong Yan, his Conqueror’s Haki dispersed, and the strange phenomena in the sky slowly vanished as well.

At this point in his deductions, Su Long suddenly remembered Yusheng. The heart of Pizarro, whom Yusheng had sent him to contact and find, was here too.

They roasted dry rations and cured meat over the fire. Everyone had eaten both lunch and dinner, yet the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping.

A gigantic figure radiating blue light suddenly plummeted from an immense height.

Everything here seemed unchanged. Only the customers had changed, yet on returning for the second time, I could not shake the feeling that there was something wrong with the bar.

Su Wan had never visited the imperial palace before. After arriving, he finally understood just how prosperous the place was.

Fang Yu gave a bitter laugh. He had originally intended to intervene when the Holy Domain attacked, but it seemed there was no longer any need.

Fang Yu adjusted his breathing and placed a hand on Jin Kun’s head. In such a dangerous place, Jin Kun remained completely unguarded.

The group was just about to leave the Kingdom of Bru and return to Great Zhou when, at that very moment, a thunderous explosion rang out in the sky.

This time, the one granted ‘free flight’ was merely a nine-star, second-tier magical beast. The area was spacious as well, so the spectacle was nowhere near as dramatic as when Duan Jian had been intercepted.

He should be unable to attack people from the same faction. Would that not mean he had to divide half the treasure among them?

Yet she pursued him relentlessly, intercepted Song Yan, and blocked her path with both arms outstretched.

“How dare you lay a hand on someone from my Skyfire Sect? You all deserve to die!”

At the same time, an old man holding an iron sword walked to the mouth of the cave. He swept a gloomy glance over Lu Fei and Feng Ling’er.

Even when faced with a stubborn man who would rather risk his life than surrender his wealth, she had a way to deal with him. She would wrap cotton around the man’s most vital possession, soak it in lamp oil, and set it alight. No matter how tough or unyielding he was, he would still beg for mercy.

People finally saw its true form—a radiant silver flying vessel! It was beautifully shaped like a short shuttle or seashell, its entire body sealed so tightly that not a single seam could be seen.

And now, even the major international awards he had won in France had never been shared with his father.

Enkidu thought, Who told you to insist on wearing a skirt and high-heeled boots into the forest? And dressed so lightly and thinly—will you even be able to fight if something happens?

They all knew that Huang Rugu was a martial arts prodigy who often studied strange and unorthodox techniques. Whenever he mastered one, he would always find someone to practice against.

“Forgive this old man’s poor eyesight, but I have never seen such a strange talismanic symbol. What kind of talisman did you refine, Gu Yue?”

Grandmaster Hong was just as bewildered. The other appraisers also came over, and after examining it, they were equally perplexed.

“Tang Haoge’s background is quite formidable as well. Besides, Elder Qin sent me here this time, and the people above already have plenty of opinions. Tang Haoge reported us last night, so the higher-ups decided overnight to replace the commander.”

Shangguan Xuedie spoke helplessly.

Li Zengbo raised his head and glanced at the roof, from which a few grass seeds occasionally drifted down. He kept a stern face and said nothing. Then he lifted his eyelids and looked toward Changsun Hong, who was sitting opposite him.

Through the haystack, he gazed toward the main city and saw more than ten thousand Guti people gathered around its walls. Speaking in their incomprehensible Ancient Indo-European tongue, they had begun their assault.

Tang Xin was not good at lying. She had seen how thoroughly Zhou Wei had been tormented by this matter recently, so she agreed to help him set a trap for Shen Qiutian. Since Zhou Wei did not intend to harm her and the arrangement benefited both sides, Tang Xin regarded it as a well-intentioned lie.

Gao Yang was still worried, however. His radiance was difficult to conceal. What if someone recognized him?

“Damn it, things have already come to this, and you’re still thinking about smoking? You really are—”

A policeman spoke with a mocking expression, but before he could finish, one of his companions waved a hand and cut him off.

At that critical moment between life and death, the Shadowless Arrow Technique, which had disappeared from Chen Mo’s mind for so long, finally resurfaced.

In the Hall of Yama—and indeed throughout the entire assassin world—everyone knew that the Canadian branch had a terrifying fat man. He was absolutely not to be judged by his appearance. On the contrary, the moment anyone saw him, they were advised to turn around and take a detour.

Inside a room at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jixin was thinking about how to make his lie sound convincing.

Yes, a lie. Where would the ruler of You have gotten a younger sister? At most, she could be called an adopted sister. Yet this adopted sister had recently been on extremely strained terms with Ji Li, all because of that Bao Ji.
