Chapter 32: Three Days
Yu Jinzhen took the silver, opened the pouch, and after confirming the amount was correct, quickly tucked it into her bodice. She looked as if she were worried Min En might change her mind.
"Easy, easy. You're welcome to come back whenever you're craving hot pot again."
Twenty taels a pop—ten times would be two hundred taels. She was going to be rich!
Lu Yuance said, "I'll leave the business regarding the cherries to you, then."
After speaking, he looked toward the crate containing the cherries.
However, the referee keenly spotted his jump just now and immediately called a traveling violation, awarding possession to the Chinese team. This left Dwight Howard frustrated and annoyed; he let out two dissatisfied snorts through his nose before breaking into his signature, good-natured grin.
"Oh, it seems the Demon of Chaos really is too old and senile!" Lei Hao sneered. The Demon of Chaos was the eldest of the three demons of the Demon Continent. A century ago, he had been indecisive when making decisions, and this current move was likely intended to groom Mu Qiu and pass the mantle to him.
The God race dared not drag out the war because their production capacity was too low. If they delayed further, the disparity in troop strength between the two sides would widen indefinitely. If they could manage a few tens of millions against a few tens of millions now, a hundred years later, it might be billions against tens of millions. How could they possibly fight that?
Wang Hao gave a bitter smile. Initially, he only wanted Xiang Yu to prove that their unit had no cowards; he never imagined that Xiang Yu could actually win.
Everyone got out of their respective vehicles and brought out the food they had prepared to eat dinner.
Staring at Luo Zicong and Sun Liang, who were lying in a pool of blood with their groins mangled beyond recognition, motionless like dead pigs, everyone at the scene gasped.
"Fifth Brother, don't be impatient. Sister Yue'er will surely be fine. Please don't lose your composure before we even get out of here." Seeing the anger on Lei Hao's face, Lei Zhuoya quickly spoke up to console him.
"So, you've finally lost your cool!" A mocking voice rang out, followed by a brilliant streak of sword light. Everywhere it passed, branches and leaves flew wildly, and even the mountain rocks were cleaved with cracks several meters deep.
"It's fine. I need to go into seclusion and recuperate within the Heavenly Pearl of Origin. Do not disturb me during this time. Very well, handle the rest yourself!" The voice grew increasingly faint until there was no response.
At that moment, in the direction of Ten Thousand Pill City, figures of spirit herbs, ancient trees, and vines appeared. Looking up, they were dense and endless, creating the illusion that he had returned to a primeval forest.
A new, unclaimed territory held immense appeal for any human family. One had to realize that military merit meant the opening of new frontiers; the implications were clear.
"Go to hell." Jian Yijun was furious beyond measure. Worried that passersby might see and misunderstand, she opened her mouth and bit his arm, though in the end, she couldn't bring herself to use much force, leaving only a faint tooth mark.
After thinking this through, she still felt a slight irritation. How could someone calculate even their own feelings to such an extent? Yet, the moment she opened her eyes upon waking, she suddenly felt at peace. Even if Gu Xi had exhausted all his efforts in his schemes, hadn't he still chosen me over the infinite possibilities he could have had with Cen Xi? Why dwell on the process?
She fell hard onto the floor, her head hitting the corner of the table, and blood immediately began to trickle down her forehead.
Ling Yefeng merely glared coldly at the Sword Spirit; he was in no mood to bicker with it right now.
"Old Chang, you don't intend to go back down there, do you?" Seeing the shifting expressions on my face, Old Sun guessed correctly.
Wasn't that the time when the King of the Underworld first entered the Celestial Realm to discuss with the Heavenly Emperor how to deal with the Demon Emperor Beiming Yi, to stop him from uniting the three realms, and when he first met Bi Yao?
To be honest, he was usually very good at hiding his emotions, so I couldn't tell at all if he was trying to deceive me.
The path had been blazed, and his essence, energy, and spirit had reached a new peak. He prepared to undergo his tribulation and ascend to the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
