Volume One, Chapter 26: Extreme Training (2)

Song Shi had barely eaten any green vegetables along the way. Since the Prince of Zhou no longer treated him—his brother-in-law's lover—as an outsider, he didn't stand on ceremony either, immediately reaching out with his chopsticks to grab some of the greens, a rare sight during their journey.

Such foolishness was something He Xiu Jishi would never commit, which is precisely why the scene remained so harmonious today.

During this period, she only returned to City B a few times to complete work that required her presence and to take short breaks.

With nimble movements, she fished the keys from Wu Zhifei’s pocket, opened the desk drawer, took out the official seal and the letter of introduction, and began filling them out under the lamp.

At this moment, Natasha, feeling as if she had been possessed by Mrs. Ma, couldn't help but doubt herself. Had her charm faded? Or was there some unspeakable, deep-seated bond between these two?

The fact that those powerful figures could establish themselves here and even rival the local government showed that their methods were by no means simple. Moreover, in a place like this, the only way to amass such wealth—as Yu He had suggested—was through trades like human trafficking, illicit salt and iron, or things that ordinary people would never dare to touch.

Elder Wu paced back and forth in his room in a state of anxiety, but just as he was feeling utterly lost, he was summoned by an apprentice of the Spirit Talisman Master.

Who could say how many supplies she still had left, given that she had consumed nearly a hundred primary defensive spirit talismans without batting an eye?

Copying someone else's work is fine once or twice when life is at stake, but ultimately, one’s true worth lies in their own genuine ability.

Mi Xiang followed her out and leaned over to inspect Tong Che’s injuries. She saw a long, deep gash on his forehead where white bone fragments were faintly visible amidst the viscous blood. A further look at his body revealed five or six stab wounds across his chest and back.

Song Qian and Qin Su were packing their things; they were going to drive to Jiangxi to find Zhou Dongliang’s senior disciple, Chang Qingshi.

The Exorcism Gun! One of the three great artifacts possessed by the Matsushima family. It originated from an ancient clan of exorcists, and every bullet fired from it was imbued with exorcism incantations. Upon striking an enemy, the bullets would trigger various supernatural effects.

Chen Haoran lifted his handsome face, gazing into the distance as he circulated his spiritual energy, creating an aura of swirling mist.

Time ticked away, second by second, until a black Maybach finally came into view and pulled to a stop at the entrance.

This left her filled with admiration; Su Su’s mental fortitude was truly remarkable. If she had encountered such a situation while starting her own business, she would have panicked beyond measure.

Guang Chengzi was stunned. The snakes in this Dragon-Snake Cave had become spirits; not only could they take human form, but they could also speak human language.

Lin Miaomiao looked toward Lu Xi in confusion, only to see her actually pull an old almanac out of her bag.

The police officer stared blankly at An Zaiyou, a heavy feeling suddenly settling in his heart. It seemed that Director An had changed.

At the same time, Qin Hui and Zhao Xueqing of Star Entertainment saw the latest update on Weibo, their expressions as unsightly as if they had swallowed flies.

That pair of towering, naked breasts appeared right before Chen Yu’s eyes, making him drool and fueling the wicked fire in his belly.

Although Nara Shikaku’s command was sound, the combined forces of the Sunagakure ninja and the ninja clans of the Land of Wind far outnumbered the ninja troops of the Land of Fire.

Thinking of this, he suddenly drew the Damascus blade from his waist, looked at the black coating on the blade, and laughed deviously.

When he reached this point, he hesitated; he still didn't dare ask when Lan Ke would finally call him "Dad," fearing it would make her angry.

Although he didn't know what this substance was, Lin Lang was certain it was nothing good.

Shen Ning asked herself, but fearing to provoke this temperamental person, she swallowed the words and remained silent.

"Are you crazy?" Lin Su shook him off, retreated to the side, and frowned as she rubbed her wrist.

Li Tianyou frowned and thought carefully. He realized that other than the paper in his hand, they had no other clues. If they didn't go to the Gorilla Pavilion written on it, they would be forced to wander the zoo like headless flies.

It must be the very beginning. Since she had woken up, the others must have woken up as well. But because no one knew what was happening at first and everyone was bewildered, they didn't yet realize that they had to kill others to survive.

However, they did not like to live in groups; instead, they preferred to mingle with other insect-beasts and be supported by them.

As a mid-level realm with vast territories and abundant resources, cultivators roaming the Nine Provinces were always happy to stop here. Plus, since this was a stronghold of the Sword God Sect, the flow of passing cultivators was even greater.

He had just seen with his own eyes Ye Kai flatten the four thugs he had brought with a few punches. If he were to be hit by one of Ye Kai’s punches, it would surely hurt down to his lungs; he dared not say a word of refusal.

When Wang De and the Administrator of Youzhou arrived at the prison, Li Ke was still chatting away with Kong Jingrou about everything under the sun, keeping her in fits of giggles.

"Your virtue is profound, Senior; this disciple is in awe." He sincerely knelt and bowed to Wu Daozi once again.

Princess Huayang was just about to lift her tea to drink when, seeing that Xu Qinghuan said nothing, she looked up at her.

Qu Weiyang went to work the day after returning home, and Qiaolian went to work as usual; everything returned to the way it had always been.

Besides Ruo Xi, other outstanding princes and royals were also standing there, with Nangong Jinyuan notably among them.

If they thought of him, they would likely consider him more formidable than themselves, and in that case, they might send even more people.

"We will get married, but after the child's surgery is successful, the child must take my surname and must call me Dad." These were his conditions.

Ordinary cultivation techniques used the stimulation of human potential as a means to guide the practitioner in strengthening their own spiritual power, but the Heavenly Derived Nine Stars Art was more than that.

Although Zhen Jinwei was busy with her own affairs, she was acutely aware of the movements around her. Gu Peilin was lost in thought—who was he thinking about?

In a brightly lit apartment at Ink Forest Residence, Mu Bai, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but yawn.

"Pfft, what kind of reward is a memorial archway for chastity? Why not give me something tangible and explain the positions you and your master use..." Su Zhen continued to speak wantonly.

Now that things had reached this point, there was nothing left in Wuxi for Huo Roufeng to worry about. The next morning, she took Hua Sanniang and returned to Hangzhou.
