Volume 1, Chapter 67: Dongzi, Save Me

Tiger's sudden outburst came as quite a surprise.
The room instantly fell silent.
Having never experienced such a situation, I was slow to react, but A-Long and the department head moved with extreme speed.
The two of them sprang to their feet in a flash, glaring fiercely at the bald man, looking ready to throw punches at any second.
Seeing this, I could hardly remain seated. Although my whole body felt weak from tension, I stood up along with them.
The considerable commotion caused the bodyguards stationed outside the door to rush in.
Though the bald man sitting on the sofa kept a stern face, his expression betrayed that he had been startled.
"Oh my, what is the meaning of this!"
Black Wolf hurriedly stood up and said with a chuckle, "Tiger, calm down..."

Su Qin had been by the Empress's side for nearly twenty years, and her every action represented the Empress's will; even Meng Huiyan dared not resist her.

The malevolent ghost glared at the Lu family, itching to rush forward and devour them alive. However, with the master suppressing the room here, the evil spirit still did not dare to act wildly.

Gu Xi simply wore a silk scarf around her neck, which was both aesthetically pleasing and served to conceal the scars—perfect.

Yet the overall strength of the Azure Cloud Sect had not increased, and in recent Immortal Destiny Tournaments, they had only managed to barely squeeze into the top ten.

After Shen Yanqin finished speaking, seeing Lu Yu remain silent, he naturally knew what she was doing, so he did not speak further either.

That feeling was like dark clouds gathering to crush the city, a sight that caused many cultivators to feel terror, panic, and an inexplicable dread deep in their hearts.

Before the name could even be uttered, all sound was sealed in the man's throat by his lips. Apart from the refreshing scent of sandalwood on his lips, she could feel nothing else.

Feeling as though there were a buzzing fly constantly droning beside him, Fu Hansiao rubbed his temples. Hearing him become more and more ridiculous, he finally reached his limit and said, "Shut up." Lin Lin immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Madam Lu's maternal family was one of the most prominent in Jiangnan. She also took out her phone to invite her family members, but she was not as forceful as Master Lu.

Xiao Huiyun spoke as though she were about to grab Jiang You's arm, but before she could even touch her, Jiang You had already sidestepped out of the way.

This was because, throughout history, anyone who dared to approach the River of Time had been corroded by time and reduced to a part of history.

Han Bing looked at the unfamiliar, dilapidated temple roof where a pale blue smoke drifted. A snowflake suddenly floated into her tear-filled eyes. Cold—a bone-chilling cold soaked from the depths of her eyes into every single cell of her body.

For Xiang Yuandong, telling Lin Xueyi this might cause her to suffer for a while, and Xiang Yuandong would suffer for a while too, but at least in the days to come, Xiang Yuandong could look Lin Xueyi in the eye, no longer needing to fear facing her accusations with a speechless silence.

As usual, Lin Feng walked over to the children, administered minor punishments to those who failed to complete their tasks, and then kicked a few of them to restore some of their energy. Glancing at a waterfall not far away, a new idea sparked in his mind.

One was Snow No. 1 belonging to this universe, and the other was a farmer-dressed Snow who had fused with countless parallel worlds' versions of Snow.

The moment the blue spiritual light appeared, Li Sen, Young Master Wei, Zhenyang, and Taoist Shi—who had agilely dropped flat to the ground—could not help exchanging glances at that moment.

The eighth-ranked super soldier, Gu Lie from the United States, had fought nine matches and won two, though both of his opponents had forfeited.

"This—the horror movies I watched before were related to the ocean, it was too terrifying and left a shadow in my heart." It was somewhat embarrassing for a man to say such things, but with Gardevoir, it didn't matter; no matter what I said, she would never laugh at me.

Yet, Shengtian was unimpressed. Shengtian thought to himself, "Aren't these just immortal ropes? What can they possibly do to me?" Shengtian began chanting an incantation, intending to loosen the immortal ropes. However, it would have been better had Shengtian not chanted; the moment he chanted, the immortal ropes suddenly tightened their grip. Shengtian could barely withstand it.

Moreover, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of danger welled up in his heart. It felt as though some peril was slowly approaching him, throwing his emotions into turmoil.

Sargeras's flames scorched Colin, yet the parts of his body that had returned to a physical state had already been burned to a grayish-brown ash.

Furthermore, regarding this provocation actively initiated by the other party, Emerald Island would fight to the end and never submit.

"Master of the house, what is a troop recruitment brochure?!" Lin Qiuxia asked curiously. This was a brand-new term for her, and she didn't know how to interpret it.

This person was named Moyun, also a ghost-raiser, yet his fame far surpassed that of Sang Qi. Even other ghost-raisers turned pale at the mere mention of his name.

Ever since Emerald Island's hidden fleet made its debut and effortlessly annihilated the incoming armed fleet, that artificial island belonging to Emerald Island had begun to feature prominently in people's discussions.

Of course, this was also the advantage of the elves; a lifespan exceeding three thousand years was sufficient to support them in researching any secret of magic.

The three surviving Japanese soldiers abandoned the comrade who had just been shot dead, gathering together once more. One Japanese soldier fired in the direction from which the bullets came, clicking and clacking, bang, bang, bang, continuously chambering rounds and firing bullets out.

Just like when Lin Sangbin and Mujing first entered this space, everyone's vision instantly plunged into darkness, and an incomparably oppressive feeling settled heavily upon their hearts.

"This fabric is actually quite nice! How much for a foot?!" Wang Qinglan looked at the clerk, stroking the cloth and asking.

She could no longer remember the details that followed, but she vaguely remembered that he personally delivered that pair of wild geese during the betrothal gift exchange.

Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp blade plunged fiercely into his heart. His eyes widened in disbelief, his expression twisting in struggle. He wanted to say something more, but the moment he opened his mouth, gushing blood welled up.

A-Qin felt a shock in her heart. Having served by the Princess's side for many years, she had never seen the Princess panic like this. Daring not to delay, A-Qin hurriedly climbed into the carriage.

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "Old man, you are certainly honest. You watered down the wine and actually admitted it just like that—aren't you afraid you won't be able to sell it!" As he spoke, he sat down on the flat couch.

Xie Wuji only knew that his calculations of human nature fell far short of Zhu Nao's. Since Zhu Nao deemed the pros to outweigh the cons, there must be his reasons, so Xie Wuji asked no further.

"Good, good." Zhang Ziliao lowered his brow, feeling deep down that something was amiss, yet upon careful thought, he could not find anything wrong.

Magistrate Fang nodded in agreement. He hadn't felt much at first, but after hearing Li Rizhi put it that way, it indeed seemed to be the case.

"Hehe, how could the young master rob his own family's silver? The young master is joking, just joking." The accountant's heart pounded wildly, and he raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The two prefectural offices stopped putting on airs and began actively communicating with the merchants from Shu, no longer picking and choosing, demanding to buy up all the armaments brought by the merchants from Shu in one breath. Anyway, the quantity wasn't too large to begin with, and they were utterly unwilling to let anyone else buy them away.

Zhao Guangning was very satisfied with the batch of sailors recruited by Manager Zhou. There were over six hundred men in total, every single one of them a veteran sailor accustomed to the sea with extremely rich experience.
