Chapter 101: The Absolute Deterrence of White Jade Capital
The west entrance of the Shanghai Museum is not open to the public; it is typically reserved for the exclusive exchange of exhibits with other museums.
Here, a freight elevator provides direct access to all floors.
The midday sunlight, molten gold in hue, spilled over the rolling shutter of the museum's west gate, casting jagged shadows that fragmented the unloading area into a checkerboard of light and dark.
The rooftop lights of two police cars rotated silently, projecting ever-expanding crimson halos against the ivory walls.
A truck drove into the museum grounds.
Aurora’s speech was delivered in three parts: first in Russian, then English, and finally Spanish. Her brilliant oration earned prolonged and enthusiastic applause from the entire audience.
“Quickly track down the trail of Youquan; we must not let him escape!” Bai Mei said in a low, serious tone, his worry evident.
Every three months, bizarre disappearances occurred, bodies found battered and bruised. Chen Bo’s mind echoed with the words of the Gu Queen; the jar of memories was reopened, and the full spectrum of flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—danced anew on his tongue.
“Didn’t your referee inform you?” Bao Qiri asked Xiang Yang with a furrowed brow, puzzled, before addressing him directly.

“I don’t know, but I think you deserve a lesson,” Chu Yun said casually, toying with the flames in his hand.
Ruoshui understood perfectly well that anyone with tattoos could never be conscripted into military service. What’s more, a complete azure dragon was inked across his entire left arm.
“Why all the rules? Let’s just play casually—first blood decides the winner,” Han You said, then quickly created a custom room and invited everyone in.
This conversation yielded little progress; aside from offering encouragement and comfort, Hugo could do nothing more.
According to Wu Ping, he had only experimentally planted a few seeds at first, but now the area had expanded severalfold.
Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a big deal; with a little time, those internal injuries could be healed. But now, Lu Jing would no longer grant him that chance.
It seemed this fellow had suffered quite a bit among the elves as well, the sharp-witted beggar girl thought to herself.
Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, shaking the house as if it might collapse at any moment.
Xia Luo analyzed the gravitational field, while he needed to understand all the operating principles of the World Tree. Limited by his aptitude, he couldn’t delve into overly profound matters. Although the situation had markedly improved, his long-standing habit was to thoroughly study his own domain first.
The foundation of Jiuzhou was quite impressive; even the auction hall was so splendid it could rival the imperial palaces of our country.
That day was unforgettable for her since arriving on Earth. Tonight, she vowed to reclaim everything she had witnessed. “Han Han, if I don’t kill you, I’m not Lin Weiwei. From today on, I will defend my home, my preparatory class seven.”
As the lake’s waters gradually approached the natural embankment, the bridge was completing its final concrete pouring. During this process, the bridge was supported directly underneath by a dense framework of wooden beams. Once the lake’s water level began to flow into the river, those wooden supports could be removed.
This was a super high-explosive material that swelled upon contact with water. Within five minutes, the chemical explosive inside would fully form, triggering a violent detonation with an explosive power equivalent to seventy times the volume of TNT after expansion.
