Chapter 55: Exchange?
"Are you perhaps too afraid to face Hundred Flowers Kill?" Li Jiuyang could more or less understand Emperor Likes Playing the Rogue's state of mind.
When a dog is willing to roll over and expose its belly to you, it signifies complete submission without a shred of hostility, and absolute unwavering loyalty. Once such obedience is shown, it will truly become utterly compliant.
"Senior, do you yield?" Xia Fanchen asked the opponent with utmost seriousness. His attacks did not stop for even a split second, growing more forceful with each strike, leaving the leader of the Abyss Blade Beasts completely incapable of offering any resistance. Until the opponent admitted defeat, Xia Fanchen would not stop.
The darkness seemed to sense her resolute determination. After lingering for a brief moment, it vanished as cleanly and swiftly as it had arrived, leaving only a faint trace of sorrow, reluctance, and lingering resentment echoing endlessly in the depths of her heart.
Ruixue had him help toss two pieces of pork into the largest pot, added a generous amount of water, and brought it to a rolling boil. After skimming off the blood foam from the surface, she added the prepared scallions, ginger, rice wine, chili peppers, salt, and various other seasonings. A wooden lid was placed on top and weighed down with a stone, and the boiling process officially began.
"Alright, Brother Zhuo, I'll be right there." Tianzhuo could hear the major's excited voice right through the phone.
Upon seeing her husband flee, the magistrate's wife sneered repeatedly, silently cursing: You still stubbornly deny any illicit affair between you two, so why the heartbroken expression?
At this thought, Mu Yelaixu hurriedly pulled over the stack of calling cards and flipped through them one by one. Sure enough, she found several familiar names among them. A surge of joy welled up in her heart, and she pulled them aside to examine them closely.
Giving Xia Qi a venomous look, Qin Yang lacked the face to remain here any longer. He did not even care to see his ranking in this alchemy competition, and stormed straight out of the plaza.
"We're willing, we're willing." Quite a few people responded with chuckles. However, those who had previously cast angry glares turned their heads away with undisguised disdain. "Very well. Now, those who are willing, take one step forward. Those who are not, here is a silver coin each—take your money and return the way you came," Long Yu raised a hand and said.
How could he possibly still have the state of mind to care whether other people's words carried barbs or not! Of course, what he didn't even notice was that the worries of the past few days had made him exceptionally haggard.
Emperor Huizong of Song advocated Daoism, and Lin Lingsu, who had been summoned to Zhao Ji's side, had also heard of Wang Zai's great reputation. Believing his own magical arts were inferior to Wang Zai's, Lin intended to befriend him, but Wang Zai arrogantly refused.
If not for us, they wouldn't have been put through such a torment, and wouldn't need to drag the madman back again.
"Young master, I've already asked around!" Huzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to Fang Mu.
It was only at this moment that the generals standing within the commander's hall understood what had happened, and their gazes toward Letian were filled entirely with admiration.
Zi Yunyuan looked out into the distance, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The last time he came here was to rescue Murong Tianlan, but this time, he came merely to reminisce about the past.
This reaction was completely subconscious, an uncontrollable neural transmission of the human body within an extremely short span of time...
Perhaps this young man had indeed discovered some clues within this school, Soubu High.
Especially facing such a tournament, where success or failure would decide the fate of her entrepreneurial venture, she suddenly felt as though her hands refused to obey her commands.
When he spoke those words, his eyes carried a glimmer of anticipation, sparkling like stars in the night sky, making anyone who looked at him yearn to protect him properly. Such a simple child, yet dragged into this messy affair, was truly infuriating.
The coach let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this flight path. In the previous match, Shen Pan and his crew had been intercepted by the players from Huashen near the edge of the third-to-last safe zone, failing to enter it and ultimately finishing outside the top three in fifth place. Although jumping to Pochinki carried some risks, at least they wouldn't be cornered by multiple squads.
"Say whatever you want. Tonight, we return to the Yue family. You had better prepare yourself." Yue Shumin gazed at her coldly, her look resembling that of someone observing a walking corpse.
The two of them ran back over there once again. Looking at the expanse now reduced to a sea of fire, they truly didn't know what to feel or say.
This conjecture had crossed Yan Zidu's mind more than once, but he simply refused to give up this golden opportunity to potentially see Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Heh!" Gong Yihan pulled Gu Yueling closer into his embrace. Although he was smiling, his gaze remained fixed on Beichen Xi, filled with a dense, mocking irony.
Upon hearing that someone down below had offended President Li, the dean gave a start as if jolted by electricity. Dropping everything at hand, he hurried over.
Although Lin was slightly tipsy, his mind remained sharp. He glanced at Shen Pan, still unable to comprehend how a wager originally meant to be a test of pride between two teams had somehow morphed into a gamble over a person. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately held his tongue.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Chen raised his gaze to lock eyes directly with the security guard, his expression frozen in chilling frost.
"Mom?" It was Li Weihao who spoke, rolling a boiled egg around his eye sockets. Li Weihao was genuinely worried that his mother might pull off some more bizarre stunt.
