Volume 1, Chapter 49: She is Both the Victim and the Executioner

As the words fell, the two laughed out loud in unison. Their laughter pierced through the heavens and the earth, startling numerous flying birds and causing them to plummet.

Xipeiya raised her pale face, her pearly teeth biting her lips until they bled. She seemed to be experiencing some kind of struggle deep within her heart, gazing intently at Chen Mo, her eyes growing increasingly profound.

When the third day of the New Year arrived, the magical radiance atop the towering magic tower in the imperial palace finally dissipated.

However, Xuan Dou had always kept a low profile and rarely sought the limelight, so his reputation within the Heaven-Leveling Divine Nation was somewhat inferior to that of the Yang family.

Almost at the exact moment the poisonous corpse plunged into the swamp, Su Ming raised the bone club in his right hand and suddenly swung it downward. The bone club instantly expanded to nearly a hundred zhang in length, and with a resounding crash, Su Ming smashed it heavily into the swamp.

The other was naturally Lin Yue'er, the disciple who had left the Western world along with him and returned to the Central Land.

"Director Yu, rest assured. The one among us with the least experience in this trade has already been at it for six years, so nothing will go wrong," the diving team leader said with a smile as he attached lead weights to his diving suit.

Now that the prototype of the system had been established, it still needed to be investigated on-site to avoid any omissions.

However, just because they thought this way did not mean everyone else did. Almost the instant the Heaven and Earth Arena opened, a figure streaked across the void like a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the largest large stone pillar in the very center of the Heaven and Earth Arena.

"What did you say? You... you want to eat me?" Sophie looked at the ugly old man in sheer disbelief, utterly unable to fathom that such an utterly shameless remark could come from the mouth of her own ancestor.

"Huh?" After being stunned for a moment, Gu Zheng instinctively took the stack of related documents that Uncle Fu Sheng pulled out from his bag.

"Don't you guys think this man's gaze looks a lot like someone..." the big guy whispered to them, and the other two nodded in unison.

Attempted murder and assault? No, this is not fair; such charges simply cannot hold.

"President Ji, why are you doing this?" Rong Tao was not Rong Yuhua. He knew that since this young man before him had already done it, he would not fear any retaliation from the Rong family.

Ji Wushuang walked over and picked up the magazine. On the cover was a white Persian cat much like An'an, wearing a sparkly collar around its neck with a largest diamond of at least five carats.

They chose a Western romance film at the cinema—the heroic yet romantic kind, which was Xiaofei's preferred genre. He obediently accompanied her, listening as she occasionally offered brief comments on the film.

In two months, there would be a great battle between the Dou Tian Sword Sect and the Sacred Fire Cult. By then, a vast number of ordinary disciples with low cultivation would become cannon fodder, and undoubtedly, some of them would defect and turn traitor.

After exchanging a glance and waiting for half an hour, Gu Zheng and the Green Turtle Hero packed up their travel bags and prepared to set off.

Upon coming ashore, a newly recruited waiter limped over to her and said that someone had come to the shop applying for the position of pastry chef. She hurriedly hurried back with him.

The door to the operating room finally opened, and everyone instantly focused their attention on the doctor who emerged.

Looking across the God Realm Committee, the members were either severely injured and absent, slacking off and playing around, or else double-crossers.

The bearded, sturdy man was directly amused. In his eyes, this doll was merely a C-grade anomalous creature, putting her on the same level as him. However, he was no ordinary spirit controller; dealing with anomalous creatures of his own rank was always effortless for him.

"Uncle, leave this matter to my mother. If you want meat, just say a word to my mother, and she'll ride her bike and buy it back in no time. It's no big deal," Shitou promised on behalf of Li Wanyue. With Big Fatty's father, Qian Youshun, around, buying meat wasn't troublesome.

Those inhuman whispers did not strip him of his basic sanity; instead, they even fostered a subtle resistance within him against boundless dark corruption and the corruption that spiritists were destined to suffer from evil forces.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe that?" Gin sneered at this. Nan宫清 (Nanqiong Qing) must have had another motive for coming here, and his intuition told him that this was still a major operation.

However, when the flames dissipated, he was dumbfounded—those fine threads remained completely motionless, entirely unaffected by the fire.

Looking at the wreckage of combat mechas scattered across the mountains and plains, Bai Yifeng felt a slight sense of shock deep within his heart.

He had just heard Yang Xuanzhi mention that there was a whale-fishing platform made of wood and lake rocks in the imperial palace, which he already thought was extremely extravagant. The Taihu lake rocks were transported from a thousand miles away, purchased even from an enemy state at an incalculable cost.

The Qin family had not yet divided their household and still lived together under one roof. The old matriarch of the Qin family was in robust health and insisted that a complete family reunion was the proper way, so the sisters of the Qin family had never split up.

The matter of the substitute bride was not only the idea of Hu Yue and the others, but also her own wish; naturally, this arrangement could not be disrupted.

Even if Yuan Qingqing had stolen his dowry money, if it got out, people would at most mock him. Would anyone really retrieve the money for him? Impossible.

A scene similar to the one on Qixia Mountain was also currently unfolding on Hanfeng Mountain, the residential area for the demon clan.
