Volume 1, Chapter 61: I Dare Not Claim to Be a Good Person
Why do I say that fate is on my side this time?
Because everything has been going far too smoothly.
Amidst idle chatter, I was pondering how to probe for information.
Suddenly, the other person asked if I would accept being kept, suggesting thirty thousand yuan a month.
I went along with his idea, saying yes, but demanding the money upfront each month.
He smugly replied that money was a minor issue.
Offhand, I scoffed and told him to produce the cash and let me see it, to which he responded that he didn't have it right now, but would by tomorrow.
Hearing this, I immediately sensed something was amiss and deliberately asked him with feigned curiosity why he would only have it tomorrow.
He then claimed that he and a brother were plotting a major operation and would secure a million yuan by tomorrow.
Following that, the most thrilling—
Inside the box rested quietly more than a dozen glittering rings, yet one of them appeared rather unique compared to the rest, its most prominent feature being its exceptionally large size.
Awu Xiude remained unresponsive for a long time. Ignoring Wang Wei's words, he turned around and saw several subordinate generals still standing there with gaping mouths.
Although the space within the entire arena remained a void, obstructing the line of sight, under the scanning of Luan Ming's Void-Shattering Silver Pupils, every scene within the space was clearly visible.
Zhao Jing repeated this phrase over and over, wanting Xiao Han to understand what she was trying to say, but Xiao Han's expression was utterly bewildered. Left with no choice, Zhao Jing kept repeating it, hoping this man would figure it out quickly.
"Gao Chong, I'm afraid these crossbows won't make it through Wuguan Pass," Qian Jichen reminded Gao Chong as he walked over.
Inside a room at the base, the Guluhan officer was attentively observing the situation on the display screen. Everything appeared normal at the time, with no anomalies detected.
When he realized through covert observation that the kidnapped individual was actually Mu Qingyan, a sensation across the entire country, he grew even more certain of his suspicions.
Seeing this, Pei Wufu returned an honest, foolish grin, stood up, and prepared to leave alongside Pei Donglai.
Zhong Lingyu rubbed his nose and told a smiling Su Zhengying that he was going out to make a phone call. Naturally, he was calling Jin Runan. To be honest, he wanted to slip away now; drinking tea here with Su Zhengying was a complete waste of time.
I wonder how Young Master Wolf is doing right now. He dared to assassinate Lady Bailing, so he'll probably meet a wretched end.
Luo Feng felt that the most exhilarating thing he had achieved was mastering marksmanship. From being mocked by his colleagues, he ultimately shot a phenomenal score of ten consecutive bullseyes. Luo Feng's unyielding character and his spirit of bold exploration and learning earned him everyone's renewed respect.
Indeed, Qibei had just happened to break through the river illusion at that moment, returning to the Cui estate with Lady Bailing.
"Brother Luo! I've seen that portrait of Hu Yue in my father's room. She is my great-aunt, named Gu Yueyue," Gu Gudong said cheerfully after taking a sip of tea.
"Using weapons? Considering Feng Yuan's face, the rest of you can be dealt with using just my combat form!" Uriel said arrogantly.
That night, lying in bed thinking about how they were about to reach the capital, Luo Feng found himself unable to sleep. He turned his head to look at Qi Yanjiao's peacefully sleeping, beautiful face and couldn't help reaching out to stroke it.
"You already know. Then, with your strength, you could completely obliterate them all, couldn't you? That way, the core content of the prophecy would be shattered, and no matter how foolproof the prophecy, it would collapse on its own?" Andidora asked, uncomprehending.
"...You immortal, decrepit old hag, filthy to the core, making the house reek to high heaven every single day. I truly regret renting my house to the two of you, spit! Your son is a recidivist convict, and as for you, mother, you're probably no good either..." The landlady stood with hands on her hips, spewing saliva as she hurled curses.
Faced with the pirate's interrogation, Qibei anxiously tried to explain himself, finding it much clumsier to switch identities between the variety troupe and Ye Shiyu of Jun'an City.
Subsequently, the armored zombies launched a skirmish-style flank attack from behind the Bohemian mercenary musketeers and the Polish legion, who were locked in fierce combat with skeleton soldiers at the front line.
Yet Ruan Ying had no particular reaction, as she was already accustomed to Ji Yao speaking without thinking. Such a style where every time she opened her mouth she offended people was completely normal to Ruan Ying; she couldn't even be bothered to bicker with her.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Blade world were not as ignorant and unenlightened as those of the Azure Cloud world. The existence of the Serpent God served as a prominent banner, and those of sufficient standing would more or less acquire some knowledge regarding the lands beyond the realm.
Chu Yan let out a cackling laugh, the vibrations in his chest devoid of any vitality, his delicate exterior resembling a soulless husk.
He wasn't lying; in future generations, such decades-old fine wine was extremely precious and impossible to obtain even if one wanted to, but in this era, tasting it was truly a first.
Out of the fifty armored zombies, after a round of screening the spoils of war captured by Serica, enough equipment could still be salvaged to arm them.
The tank hatch was blown far away, landing heavily on the ground with a harsh metallic hum! More than a dozen soldiers gritted their teeth and covered their ears.
He lowered his gaze to look at 'Guo Rong's' feet, while Chunyu Xi, seeing him directly resort to physical groping, instantly triggered her pervert-deterrent mode, lifting her leg and delivering a knee strike that elicited a muffled grunt from Li Ye, knocking him straight back into the vehicle.
Beneath the Dragon King Temple, the earth had been hollowed out, and the walls on both sides were as smooth as mirrors, reflecting a fierce red flood dragon bound by iron chains.
When the movie reached its halfway mark, those people were all resting in the office, and no one would pay him any mind. Once he set the fire, he would slip away through the emergency exit.
"May we meet again by fate!" Jiang You's excitement at this moment was palpable. It didn't matter if the reward for taking first place was subpar; didn't he still have a magical treasure and a divine beast cub?
Aside from having a crystal-clear outer skin, large size, and abundant moisture, its fragrance was more than ten times richer. The bald man, possessed of extraordinary discernment, could tell at a glance that this fruit was top-tier quality, and the fellow beside him was no ordinary person.
"You bitch! I'll tear your mouth apart!" Ming Xuan snapped, her temper flaring as she brandished her fists in a display of intimidation.
The Jade Emperor failed to pull off his grand entrance—or rather, only pulled off half of it. Many immortals watching the live broadcast were somewhat baffled: if you were going to put on airs, Jade Emperor, failing at it was one thing, but why did you turn into Jiang You instead?
Having worried continuously for over ten days that the Zhenwu Sect would come seeking revenge against Yang Jingyu, Ren Qingshuang finally relaxed a little and found some peace of mind as the days passed without a single member of the sect showing up.
