Chapter Thirty-Nine: Buying Someone Off

Wang Binghuan immediately retorted, "I did not!"
He argued that his feelings were honorable and open-hearted, not some sordid covetousness! It was an insult to his character!
Seeing this, Ruan Tang struck back instantly, "Then explain yourself! You’ve been stammering for ages without saying anything of substance—isn't it just because you're guilty and don't know what to say?"
Wang Binghuan choked, immediately casting a desperate, pleading look toward his mother, Aunt Wang.
He truly didn't know, just as he hadn't known when he testified at the Cheng household in Huoshan that day.
"It is I, Long Yichen, representative of Yama City." The person who had entered was none other than Long Yichen. He looked at the Buddha seated on the main throne in the hall, a faint smile playing on his lips, and spoke directly.
If Ning Fan were truly a Grandmaster-level existence, he could wipe out the Sword Heart Sect with a mere flick of his wrist; all the members of the Sword Heart Sect combined would be no match for him.
Xia Mei was not weak in martial arts, but she was far from being Red Shadow's equal. After only a few exchanges, Red Shadow kicked her in the shoulder, sending her crashing to the ground.
Despite her suffering, her wounds had been healing over these past few days, leaving her with an unbearable, maddening itch. Furthermore, Nan Yu could sense that her head was likely suffering from some aftereffects; whenever she focused intently on a matter, she would be struck by agonizing headaches.
She had only managed to say half a sentence before realizing she didn't know how to continue. She had to stop, looking at Ting Yutong with a sense of unease.
I watched Chen Shishi with such obsession that I hoped this staircase would never end, for I only wanted to admire her beauty to my heart's content. But before I could get my fill, we had already reached the third floor.
"Do you really think that's possible?" With that, Long Yichen channeled the full power of Dark Tiga and unleashed his ultimate attack directly at Belial.
Yang Yu saw it first and told Nie Yun, "That girl is not simple. Coming from a prominent family, she has seen it all; how could she be naive?" Back then, she had used a different rhetoric, full of disdain.
Ji Rou had been in Beicheng for over two days, staying in the hospital the entire time, having barely closed her eyes for two days and two nights.
Hearing this, Guo Fuqiang wondered if Yang Yu was hinting at something, and fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead.
Perhaps it was because of the child in her womb, but the once-stubborn Rong Yi found herself able to set aside her prejudices and view this overbearing man objectively, even subconsciously speaking in his favor.
Twelve years old, and a soul power of over level thirty! While perhaps not entirely unprecedented, it was certainly a rarity in this world! Moreover, both of them had seen Murong Fu's combat techniques, which could hardly be described as merely excellent.
As for Li Shimin, it went without saying; the hotpot was so spicy that he barely ate, with most of the meat ending up in the bellies of Li Yuan and Chen Fei. Though he wasn't full, he felt too embarrassed to say anything.
Despite saying this, Rong Yi still hoped in her heart that she would try to get along with the Eldest Prince; perhaps they could develop feelings for each other.
The exotic beast had six fiery wings on its back and two whip-like tails. Possessing a powerful fire ability comparable to a volcanic eruption, it was known as the Six-Winged Flame Demon.
"Your Majesty the Pope, may I ask what the test is?" Yan asked, eager to be the first to speak. He had been pursuing Hu Liena, whom he had grown up with, but had made no progress, so he could not let any opportunity to shine pass him by.
The intention was for her own good, but some things could not bear close scrutiny. Once one started thinking about them, it was easy to let the mind wander, and once the mind wandered, it inevitably turned to dark thoughts.
"Goodbye." Shen Ruomei always felt that Xie Kai was a bit strange, as if there were a feeling that they might not meet again—the kind of feeling that made one want to take a second look. If they wanted to see each other, it shouldn't be difficult; whenever Xie Kai delivered letters to the nearby villages, he could easily stop by. Was there any need to be so reluctant to part?
Zhan Chou ignored him, and Yuan spoke instead: "It was this young hero who saved us." She pointed toward Qian Yexin.
"Very well! Then I shall fight once more! I was meant to remain in the Nine Provinces to set things right, shatter the illusions, and return to the source. But now that you are here, Senior, I can rest easy. If I can reach the peak once again in the future, I shall fight for the Nine Provinces once more!" the ancestral god Shennong said.
