Volume 1, Chapter 66: Where Are You
"Miss Jiang asked to borrow money from me just now," Huang Yanchen said.
"Borrow money? How much?"
Chu Lingtian was slightly taken aback.
"Ten million."
Huang Yanchen answered truthfully, "Three days ago, Miss Jiang already borrowed ten million from me, and I gave it to her without thinking much at the time."
"But it's only been a mere three days, and she's asking for money again. I'm wondering if something has happened to her?"
"Young Master, are you unaware of this?"
"I'm unaware," Chu Lingtian shook his head. "Alright, I understand. Focus on your recovery."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Lingtian sat at home and waited for Jiang Wan to return.
As a result, it was already eight or nine in the evening, and she still hadn't come back.
So Chu Lingtian made a phone call, and soon...
Accompanied by the roaring sounds of nine demonic dragons echoing successively, dazzling silver-shining white dragon phantoms burst directly from the palms of the Demonic Dragon Princess's flawless white jade-like hands.
The general trend was truly gone! Even Puxuan had to admit that Devouring Moon had indeed played a brilliant game of chess. Step by step, interlocking closely, she had caught him completely off guard, defeating him with almost no room for counterattack.
He stretched out a large hand and slapped it directly toward this audacious big pig. His strength was by no means small; although he did not use his full power, it was still not something a pig that had leaped out of raw stone could resist.
Over the span of three years, for someone of Lin Kongxue's age, the changes in external appearance were the most pronounced. Coupled with the qualitative leap in his strength, everyone felt for a moment as if they were witnessing the passage of time.
As it turned out, 108,000 years ago, Patriarch Hongjun was commanded by the Ancient Dragon Emperor to head in the direction of the sun in search of the future. Thus, he flew and flew toward the sun, finally finding this ideal cloud cluster right here. And so, he stopped.
"Please stay, Grand Princess." Looking at the main gate right before his eyes, Long Xinglin immediately said to the Grand Princess.
Withdrawing his gaze, Long Xinglin looked down at Senior Sister Qinxin in his arms. At this moment, her eyes were lifeless; if not for the fact that she was still breathing and continuously muttering "Let me die, let me die, let me die" in her mouth, Long Xinglin would have thought Senior Sister Qinxin was already dead.
After Chang'e finished speaking, feeling somewhat abrupt, she shyly hid behind the osmanthus tree. Houyi felt a surge of excitement; he thought, no wonder his luck was so good today, managing to hunt a wild beast as soon as he went up the mountain. Even more unexpectedly, this kind of good fortune had now sought him out on its own doorstep.
Jiang Yu was covered in blood and overflowing with battle intent. His mastery of combat had grown even more refined, and in the heat of battle, he had polished his Foundation Establishment Tower to absolute perfection, making it like a flawless circular platform that provided him with immortal divine power.
Cong Yun had used a great deal of bloodline power while smithing earlier and had also consumed a lot of physical strength, so she simply rested on the side all this time.
Su Mengjie also snapped back to her senses from these visions. Looking at this phenomenon, her expression changed drastically. Meanwhile, everyone from the Fortune Sect wore complex expressions, and even Lou Qiao stared blankly at Mofang.
Originally, dipping dumplings in vinegar was completely unobjectionable, but because of Ye Lesheng's remarks just a moment ago, this vinegar had taken on a different flavor.
Having said this, she instructed Qilu to let down the bamboo curtains, turning a deaf ear to everyone's words of comfort, and lay down fully clothed, speaking no more.
"Okay!" Li Xi took a deep breath as instructed. At this moment, she could not and dared not let Xiao Yunfei become distracted again, let alone faint and vomit blood once more. Toward the man before her, Li Xi could not bear to let him suffer harm again.
Some people on the first floor of the villa were killed by blades, and the third floor was bombed beyond recognition, basically all killed by guns. Such guns were extremely common; anyone with money could buy them on the black market.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Donghai looked suspiciously at the people in the room who were laughing along: "What did I miss?" Before Lei Teng had even wiped his mouth, he jumped up and chased after Lei Zhen to beat him.
She gently pushed the two immortal boys away. At this point, the Heavenly Queen could no longer suppress her sorrow and grief, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Smiling Asura dismissed the three fiends of Li and hurriedly emerged from the kitchen holding the burning red candle, only to be startled by the scene before her.
Xuanwu bowed and said, "Reporting to the Holy Mother, Chiyou frequently suffers relapses because he was injured by the raging fire. Today it was discovered that his old illness has flared up, leaving him bedridden and unable to stand, which in turn has drastically reduced his demonic magic. If we engage him in battle at this moment, we will surely capture him alive. Please make the decision, Holy Mother." Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Is the Hua family that famous? What does the Hua family actually do?" Lin Yusheng asked curiously, rubbing her nose with a trace of a guilty conscience.
For these pickpockets, crowded trade fairs like this were their absolute favorite places. Furthermore, there were those foolish exotic beasts here. These exotic beasts never had any concept of stealing back in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest; whenever they wanted something, they simply seized it by brute force. Therefore, they had no guards up whatsoever.
The translator's face was pale, drenched in sweat, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. Ruifei's eyes flashed with surprise before he quickly composed himself, while Ye Kanyong looked utterly astonished—she actually understood the language of the Floridian nation?
"Vice Commander, we are still one short of completing the mission assigned by the Commander," Niu Er said, glancing at the animal skins slung over everyone's shoulders.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Just as that person was preparing to enter seclusion for cultivation, the cosmic passage whirlpool, which had been calm all this time, suddenly emitted a humming sound. This instantly attracted the attention of the more than twenty people inside this subterranean cave.
Speaking of Imperial Concubine Wu, ever since Moyang's death, she came to find Xing'er one night, hoping to see Lvghe and personally kneel to kowtow and confess her crimes.
Li Si did not blush; this fellow was not plagiarizing for the first time anyway. Last time he stole Tang and Song poetry, and this time he stole Betty Higgins' work. Anyway, no one would expose him, so he naturally used it with ease.
In fact, given Jianghai's strength, it was a crisis he could not overcome; even with the addition of Paradise, it would be of no avail. However, Paradise simply could not bear to see Mu Yan Ningjing's mournful gaze.
"Disciple, Master has found the pattern. Walking according to this should allow us to get out of this maze." At this moment, Xiaoyao Wuji's voice came through.
Now Lin Sheng no longer held any侥幸 (ill-conceived) hopes in his heart. He directly steered the bronze bell and charged toward the exit. The distant chime of the bell continuously echoed across the realm, directly dissolving the destructive power hovering above the spatial vortex. Yet, Lin Sheng still felt his pressure multiply manifold.
If these things were enough to attract the attention of the mortal world and even practitioners, then another matter drew even more of their attention.
Stumbling along, she had not even reached the entrance of Yongning Palace when she heard Ruisi wailing in despair. Nanny Jinyun stepped forward to support her, wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief without stopping.
"Come, let me apply the medicine for you." Ye Yuzhen took the ointment from her hand, gently squeezed out a bit, and applied it tenderly for her.
"Young Marshal, did you agree?" Seeing the faint smile on his face, Siying plucked up the courage to ask.
"Don't be foolish, Hero Xie will be fine," Duan Shiyu persuaded. "What is there to see on this pitch-black street?" As she spoke, she made to extinguish the oil lamp.
