“My uncle runs a shop here; I came over to help out a bit.”
So it wasn’t that line of work after all. I felt a wave of relief and pressed on, “Where is your uncle’s shop?”
Northern Myanmar is a place teeming with all sorts of people. Although I was reluctant to doubt Qing, to ignite a spark between us—one that could last—I had to get the facts straight.
Long had said that you can’t judge people here by appearances alone; frankly, nine and a half out of ten are frauds, full of empty talk. One must be cautious, or else suffer terribly.
So, to confirm whether Qing was truthful, I needed to ask thoroughly from every angle.
Qing raised a hand and pointed toward the end of the street, “Just over there...”
This 'Extreme Yang Transformation Pill' could not entirely dispel Ye’er’s yin-cold aura; it merely extended Ye’er’s lifespan by three years.
“Don’t speak nonsense—Young Master’s martial prowess is beyond what you or I can imagine. There are few left who can harm him in this world!” Mu Kui said firmly.
We drove toward Ruoqiang County, entering the Lop Nor region, continuing westward until we reached the famous Peacock River channel. Following the river to the southern bank, we arrived at the Loulan Ruins tourist area.
The two clapped their hands, then saluted the men in black before leaping away. Behind them, a force of five thousand began to charge in pursuit, moving swiftly along the pair’s path until they vanished into the forest, as if they had never appeared.
“Hmph,” Liu Bei snorted coldly, gathering all his strength. He turned and struck two palm blows. Their target was Shan Yi, who, while alert to Liu Bei’s movements, did not expect such a sudden attack.
No matter how powerful a weapon is, if it misses the target, it is useless. This was a dilemma ordinary people grappled with in this world. Before the arrival of the railgun, that gorilla would surely escape.
Lei Hao bent down to put on his shoes, unaware that Lei Kuang’s smile was stiffening, nor that his eyes suddenly darkened.
Gao Shun nodded and responded, “Alright. Judging by your tone, you’ve been in this trade for a while. I won’t dwell on past experiences; just tell me about today’s deal—who’s being kept here?”

The myriad venomous snakes, seeing the Mingjin snake dead, shuddered violently and writhed their bodies, scattering in all directions.
“This is my newly hired contractor, Charlie, and also my beloved,” Qing’er said with a happy expression, nestling close to the man.
Halfway through the alchemical process, the iron-leaf door suddenly collapsed with a crash. Dozens of ancient creatures of various forms crowded around a handsome young man as he strode boldly into the cave dwelling.
He would surely say that his greatest regret in life was giving Bai Long such a mindless persona.
“My old wife never expected to come out again. I thought she’d die in there,” Old Lady Li wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks with her sleeve.
Jia Nanfeng’s aim was to become empress one day and wield great power; she was still far from that goal.
At that moment, Li Xiu and Wu Ban entered the residential area. It was pitch black, so dark that one could not see a hand before their face. They had to rely on touch and hearing to discern the situation.
When they grabbed the neck of the person in charge and pried open his pupils for inspection, the system prompt appeared again, just as expected.
Jin Baozhu’s eyes darted wildly; after a shove from her own mother, her mind never ceased spinning.
Everything was unclear because a thick, mysterious fog swirled around the divine mineral.
After seeing that comment, Chen Tiezhu sensed there was something very peculiar about that family. Chen Tiezhu dared not be certain.
Zhang Daban shouted curses, spraying saliva all over Wang Jianxiang’s face. Then, with a heavy foot, he kicked him directly.
Mao Qing? Who was Mao Qing? The question flashed through my mind, but upon closer inspection of the handwriting, the doubt was resolved.
However, those ten steel-forged figures boasted formidable defenses. Facing their counterattacks and a relentless barrage of bullets, they only produced the crisp clang of metal striking metal, suffering little real damage.

The pent-up emotions suddenly surged, as if about to explode. Ye Hua’s body paused for a mere second before he lifted his sword and pulled back the curtain. Yet, before he could step forward, the emperor’s deep voice rang out again.
But if the seller’s status and strength are sufficient, the buyer would never demand such terms—instead, they would be pleased to find common ground.
Dabai felt as if the threadworms inside his body were going mad, wildly thrashing about. With a careless flick of his hand, several worm threads shot out, instantly wreaking havoc on the computers, televisions, and antique vases in the room.
Yet coincidences are not rare in this world. Similarities in magic are common, and natural laws often produce comparable phenomena.
“All right, I’ll stay here and watch over Yi’er. You all have been busy for a day and night—go get some rest,” Ji Zili waved to Han Yu and Han Xue. They had guarded this place long enough and deserved a break.
This entire process was a true test of whether a marksman genuinely possessed the skill of a sharpshooter. Beyond technical design, it was largely a trial of psychological resilience.
“Did the Emperor seek my people for something?” But they had long since hidden away, and their current whereabouts were unknown to her.
She had thought that after breaking with Ye Feng, she would have to find another way. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative, and Linghu Yixue resolved that she could not let this opportunity slip away.
“Xi’er.” Su Ruohan looked at Shen Yaxi with some excitement, her eyes smiling. Had she just admitted that she liked her too?
“I have returned, claiming my old body is unwell and I am resting in bed,” Xun Guangjian’s enthusiasm for the Sheng King’s mansion had abruptly changed. He would no longer assist the Sheng King nor speak a word on his behalf before the emperor.
