Volume 1, Chapter 51: The Hong Kong Exchange Quota

Li Shuhe was sitting in the corner of the library, sunlight streaming through the tall windows onto her desk, casting a warm halo of light.

When the distance reached four hundred and fifty miles, the Firmament Bead reached its limit. At this moment, the True Fire Pill and the Phoenix Feather at the center also began to struggle against the pressure, slowly fusing together.

Ling Xian could tell that his father-in-law had simply come over once again to flaunt his own ignorance.

Curiosity burned in his heart, yet he dared not ask. For some inexplicable reason, the more talented and versatile she appeared, the more hesitant he grew to inquire about her past, fearing she might prove as ethereal and fleeting as a cloud drifting away across the sky.

Now this was going to be a good show. With both protectors present, could anyone possibly continue to act so arrogantly here in West Dragon City?

At the distant end of the mountain path, the masked man set Xia Qiuqian and her companion down, took a couple of steps forward, and prepared to leave.

Yet, facing a mere Tier 3 instructor, she possessed absolute confidence that she could easily crush him.

"Hear me out. This new batch of recruits is utterly lawless. Upon hearing the rules established by President Yan, they grew furious and actually raised their hands against me..." Ah Kai whimpered pitifully.

For reasons unknown to herself, she was well aware of the grudge between Long Feng and Zhao Kai, which made her find Long Feng disagreeable no matter how she looked at him now.

To be honest, the very instant Qin Jiufeng made his move, Li Tai had already guessed what his intentions might be.

Knowing that she had never worn high heels before, Han Chenfeng had specifically bought her several pairs at the mall, telling her to wear them around the house for the next few days so she wouldn't make a fool of herself at the banquet.

Xue Yi held nothing back and told Robespierre the truth. Earth would sooner or later come to the attention of various cosmic factions, and revealing a portion of Earth's strength to Robespierre did no harm; after all, they essentially belonged to the righteous camp and were unlikely to experience any major conflicts.

Panicking, the crowd straightened their postures and looked back, only to see over a hundred wild wolves with long red tongues hanging out, drooling, fixing their glowing green eyes upon them.

"That won't work. One of her classmates is getting married on that exact same day. It was agreed upon long ago, and she insists on going," Gu Ning said with a troubled expression.

While the Earth Federation possessed a fair number of Class-A spacecraft, it lacked Class-S warships. Furthermore, counting Zhao Qingxiao's "War Soul," their top-tier T1 combat strength amounted to a mere seven units, revealing a clear deficiency in high-end power.

It was rather comical; when the two of them were together they were inseparable, yet now, during a phone call, they found themselves at a complete loss for words.

It was precisely because she needed to wait for the Liu family's professional team to arrive that she had scheduled the meeting for tomorrow.

Although sound cannot travel through a true vacuum, space is not an absolute vacuum; it is simply that the sounds within it are far too subtle for human ears to perceive.

"Sisters, let us not remain idle either. Let us work together and provide for ourselves!" Mingyue reminded them.

Zhang Wei said irritably, this battle having made him vividly aware of just how formidable the Void Controller truly was.

I forgot to mention that was back in 2008. Alipay was not yet widespread, WeChat had not yet been born, and consumption was mainly conducted using cash, along with bank debit cards or credit cards swiped at certain shopping malls or department stores.

Gazing at the Xu Meng before him, he looked at her gently, and his tightly clenched fingers slowly relaxed, releasing their grip without a trace.

Unlike the previous match, the moment this spirit duel began, both combatants released their martial souls simultaneously. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes changed color, her left eye turning dark green and her right eye clear blue. A pair of adorable cat ears pericked up slightly, and as she flicked her fingers, sharp, claw-like nails extended from her palms.

"Stop struggling. Why don't you just commit suicide and save me the trouble of striking," Xiaomuchen taunted as he watched the vast majority of the life force and vital energy surging directly into his hands.
