Volume One, Chapter 30: Do You Dare, Young Master Zheng?

He knew Jiang Rulong was right there.

The old man refused to show his face or state his position, leaving Jiang Wan to kneel. Even if she were to kneel until she died, he would have nothing to say about it. After all, by every measure of reason and sentiment, he had done nothing wrong. But from this day forward, he would harbor no emotional ties to the Jiang family. If a scene like the one when he left the Jiang estate—causing a commotion at the banquet—were to happen again, he would no longer show them mercy because of Jiang Wan’s tears and pleas. Because, as far as he was concerned, he had absolutely nothing to do with the Jiang family. It was not just the Jiang family that knew how to be cold and heartless.

Chu Lingtian carried Jiang Wan out. Inside the villa, everyone looked on in surprise as Chu Lingtian actually began to leave.

"Why are they leaving..."

"Lady Su treats me like a blood relative. If I ever achieve anything in this life, I will certainly take her out of that pleasure house and care for her for the rest of her days," Zhao Wuyou said with a bitter smile, then added softly.

I will not sever my connection with loneliness, for it nourishes my strength: if one day the world sees me as mad, it is actually you who have lost your minds.

"In that case, Commander, you shall accompany me to the Imperial Palace," Wenren Chunqiu said, his voice deep as he looked toward Shi Jun.

The scholar had only had a little to drink, perhaps a pound or so, and remained sober. Ding Li, however, was in a bad way. To be honest, he was the same type as Big Fool; he was still spouting nonsense, and it seemed that even after a sleep, he had not yet sobered up.

When Liu Yige heard the name of the place, he seemed to ponder it for a moment, and it was only after a long while that an expression of realization and astonishment appeared on his face.

"Then what on earth do you mean?!" Yan Rubing shook off Zhao Wuyou’s arm, staring at him with an expression of fury.

Dai Ku smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that having this transfer order would make everything legitimate, but Royce, who managed the base, had always been extremely uncooperative. The fact that he allowed him to act with some convenience at the base without kicking him out was already a gesture of respect toward the Council; it was impossible that he would provide him with this certification.

Watching Chu Feiyang inform him of this matter in such a tone, Yun Qianmeng subconsciously wondered if there was some knot between this father and son. Otherwise, why did Chu Feiyang appear so powerless?

Everyone has moments of bad luck—like choking on water when you want a drink, getting meat stuck in your teeth when you want to eat, or discovering your period has arrived just when you were looking forward to something else. Like trying to go undercover for the Eye of God, only to run into an acquaintance—an acquaintance with a different class allegiance, at that.

At this moment, Chu Nan was having dinner at Purple Fox Manor with Qiu Shiyin, who had recovered her internal energy. Qiu Yubai’s attitude toward Chu Nan now was completely different from before.

"Do you know? If it weren't for you, Lanlan wouldn't be as heartbroken as she is now," Xie Yong said, glaring at Qi Xiuyuan with visible disgust.

Shen Yun did not mind; he paced back and forth before the stone bed with his hands behind his back, looking excited and muttering to himself.

Yes, the Yuan troops who could still hold Position No. 2 were absolutely desperate, willing to risk everything. Because compared to dying in a stifling, pathetic way, dying while charging seemed to be a better choice—at the very least, it wasn't as humiliating.

The ancient tree extended its roots into the soil and felt spiritual energy that seemed as tangible as matter.

Having said this, Xu Yan stopped speaking. Her meaning was clear: she had to see the real person first, otherwise, she would not believe a word Sun Yabo said, let alone cooperate with any of his actions.

The right leaf trembled, and then boundless vitality surged at its tip, like the edge of a sword.

Having held on for so long, he had lost in the end. Tears slid silently from the corners of his eyes onto the pillow, soaking it before he even realized it.

Angelu had given the divine weapon to Joey; perhaps he could obtain an even more powerful weapon from the boss before them.

The 3rd and 4th squads on the left and right flanks also became tense and alert, but without receiving any information, Li Bing and Chen Gui remained somewhat bewildered.

"That's right, I have already submitted to the Evil King!" the twentieth-generation sect leader of the Corpse-Driving Sect said immediately.

The United States, Britain, Germany, France, Japan... countless countries jumped out, one after another, putting pressure on China, demanding that they hand over Xiao Fei to resolve the invasion by the powerful beings from another world.

Sheng'er and Xueying still wouldn't let go. What to do? Liu Yongyi and Wu Sheng didn't dare go in, fearing that provoking the bear might cause it to bite off the other person's arm.

Nowadays, ninety percent of people are troubled by obesity. Shedding the fat and feeling light as a feather is the dream of many, and Section Chief Yun was naturally no exception.

Of course, for tasks like patrols, a few detachment leaders were enough; he didn't need to participate personally, as his main role was to oversee command. Furthermore, besides ensuring security, he had to take Ye Xing to the magazine office to practice "Counter-Strike."

Duyuan smiled slightly and said, "I want to, but I promise you, I will return!" As Duyuan finished speaking, the four demons and Guo Xu, along with the vanguard general Guo Ruosheng, each flashed their magic, soaring into the air. Duyuan stepped into the sky and sped away.

"This is... the 'Golden Carp Venerable' from the Muqiu House?" Li Gongpu’s eyes went round. He set aside the paper fan in his hand and hurriedly picked up the wood carving to admire it.

"Explanation is just cover-up. Nothing else, I’m hanging up, we’ll be back this afternoon," Situ Yu snorted.

A sudden shock hit Chen Hao's eyes; this news was too shocking, and it was terrible news indeed.

Looking across the stage, it seemed that only Jiang Kailan could be his opponent, and judging solely by build, Jiang Kailan might not even be able to handle him.

Grandmother Jiuying said, "That goes without saying, but leaving aside the fact that the poisonous needles in the forest are easily triggered, there is still the miasma..." Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt as if a breeze had passed through her, as if she were riding the clouds, and was suddenly shot forward.

There were many people in front of them, all kneeling on the ground, wearing coarse mourning clothes. Some were wailing, some were chatting indifferently, and some were even snickering.

Seeing that He Hanchi had saved him, Yi Xuan was just about to offer his thanks, the feeling of indignation in his heart finally easing, when his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

After that, Nyx was captured by the God Clan and thrown into the Heavenly Prison, becoming a sinner of the God Clan. The reason she was not executed was that no one could strip her of her divine rank, and her power was an absolutely indispensable part of this world.

But Fielderna also used that brief gap to dodge instantly, widening the distance as he faced Cao Peng.

Actually, if Su Ling hadn't intervened, and the End Heavenly King had pursued Su Yang, relying on their remaining combat power, while they might not have been able to kill Su Yang, they certainly wouldn't have let him off easily.

Therefore, encountering such a rough, close-quarters locking technique from Quintina, such relentless rubbing, a surge of hot blood from within could not help but erupt.

On the beach, everyone held hands and danced in circles around the bonfire in the middle; it was quite nice.

The house was still the old one, completely unrenovated. Returning home, he wanted to give his parents a surprise, but he never expected that there would be no one there.

Before Oniskai’s communication arrived, Sheng Ling was gazing at the night sky. There were no stars in this world. Perhaps there had been in the past, but now there was not a single one.
