Chapter 52: Merely Disciplining the Servants a Little

Old Woman Tian was terrified to the core.
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Huaijin, her gaze full of panic.
Without haste, he slowly raised his foot and, without warning, brought it down heavily upon the fingers Old Woman Tian had extended in plea.
"Ah—!"
A shrill shriek tore straight from Old Woman Tian's throat, piercing the air with its sharpness.
Her features distorted in agony, the muscles of her face spasming uncontrollably as cold sweat streamed down her pale cheeks, splashing onto the ground before her.

After all, I always kept my position very low. I was merely an assistant, and an assistant's job is simply to handle various trivial matters.
The Pope's voice was as calm as ever, yet it penetrated straight to the bone. Then, the three dark-gold warriors watched helplessly as their own daggers plunged into their hearts.
Sister Lan’s voice never once came through during that phone call. I do not know whether she had given up or simply could not stand up to her husband, but I knew she must have been worried—worried for my safety.
Just as those words were uttered, the entire spatial rift shuddered violently and began to collapse rapidly.
Moreover, as the Spirit-Enlightening Demon Fruits continued to mature on the moon, those great beasts that had already attained demonic cultivation would naturally protect the living beings who ingested the fruits, guiding them successfully to become demons.
With a sway of his body, the surrounding air exploded violently, and Fang Yun's figure flickered before instantly vanishing.
Arthur smiled modestly. He gently clapped his hands, echoing the words of the dark horse House just now. He also believed that the rout of the five hundred orcs was merely a stroke of luck; at the very least, among the teams formed by the students on the island, aside from the Round Table Knights of the dark horse House, no other group possessed such strength.
The other four maintained the Anti-Air Battle Song, while the battle below descended into utter chaos. Bismarck's dark-gold warriors did not engage the Pope head-on, merely harassing him and dodging the Great Prophecy spells he released. As the Pope's power waned, his Great Prophecy spells ceased to leave no trace.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan's Thunder Seal was not a brand of enslavement, but rather resembled a brand of protective power.
The Bone-Armor World God stood there, gazing into the distance at his opponent, and spoke, "Immortal Feixiu of the Chaos, I know you; you possess the strength of a top-tier World Realm." His voice was deep and powerful.
Having lived through two lifetimes, Lei Weidong possessed a skin far from thin, and he cared not at all for such condemnation.
"Hehe, don't worry. I've crossed paths with them a few times; they can't do anything to me," Shi Feifan smiled.
"Shall I apply the medicine for you again? How does the wound feel now?" Li Youyou held fine medicinal herbs from the Li family, far superior in effect to anything found outside.
"Of course it's serious; nearly half of it was burned away. If I hadn't arrived in time, that patch over there probably wouldn't have been saved either." Recalling the condition of the vineyard when he arrived yesterday, it was still somewhat shocking to the mind. The mere thought of that sight sent a chill straight through one's heart.
His eyes were filled with yearning for this new environment. He had previously only ever been to Hanzhong Prefecture, but Hanzhong simply could not compare to this imperial capital. The prosperity here far surpassed that of Hanzhong; he loved liveliness, and he loved this thriving capital.
Having signed the contract with General Manager Liu, Lu Xi joyfully tucked it into her bag, whereupon General Manager Liu began to make unchaste advances.
Ji Shaohan emerged from the direction of the teaching building, and upon raising his eyes, he spotted Lin Ran and the two others standing beneath the basketball hoop.
Shi Feifan suddenly realized that Lin Ling'er and Yu Mei'er were an extremely close pair of best friends—close to a degree that was almost excessive. That being the case, it was hardly surprising that she knew about his relationship with Yu Mei'er.
As for Azure Dragon, White Dragon, and Golden Swallow, they all sat leisurely in the stands, peanuts, melon seeds, and various fine-looking fruits placed around them, living quite comfortably indeed.
Xiong生 (Xiong Sheng) declared that he was going to fetch Elder Mad Lion so the two of them could compare whose lion's roar technique was stronger. Giving Shi Feifan no chance to explain, he turned and walked away.
