Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Atmosphere is Off

Thoughts.

I suppose as a man, unless one is homosexual, such thoughts are bound to arise when facing a reasonably pleasant woman in every aspect.

However, the lessons learned previously made me genuinely terrified of anyone actively throwing themselves at me in this territory.

Before things happened, I thought Dragon and the others paying for affection was unsafe and prone to contracting various diseases.

Only after things actually happened did I realize how lethal my idea of finding a long-term girlfriend truly was.

Paying for affection means going separate ways afterward; no one schemes against anyone else. As long as protection is properly used, the risk of disease is virtually nonexistent.

Finding a long-term girlfriend, on the other hand, leaves you completely in the dark about what she is really thinking, devoid of any...

In another direction, a massive eyeball spanning hundreds of zhang hung across the sky, covered in bloodshot veins and dripping with eerie blue blood. It emitted trails of celestial radiance, faintly conveying a sense of holiness that clashed violently with its ugly appearance, creating an utterly paradoxical contrast.

This river of stars displayed a myriad of colors, radiating a dazzling light that was both magnificent and supremely eye-catching in the cosmic void.

The somewhat simple-minded sheep herder had no idea what kind of prominent figure the old man was, but based solely on the fact that they both hailed from the Chahar Banner, he ran all the way back to Chahar Banner on foot the very next morning after meeting him.

The Ten Crown King, the Exiled Immortal, and others shouted in succession at this moment. Although suspected of bullying the few with many, this concerned the greatest fortune of the Immortal Ancient era in this lifetime—how could they possibly cede it?

Subconsciously catching the item thrown by Zhao Chen, Carlos froze for a moment. Recovering from his daze, Carlos let out a bizarre shriek and turned to run headlong.

"This!" The surrounding geniuses had not yet regained their composure when they saw Du Yuesheng summon a giant hand condensed from a hurricane, manifesting out of thin air.

With a grand wave of War's hand, the Valkyrie and the Berserk God seemed to receive some supreme authority, their powers climbing step by step and gradually becoming terrifying.

Silently issuing an order from the bottom of his heart to Migui Zang, Lin Mu gripped the long prismatic shell of Mutian Jiuge, his hands shimmering with boundless holy light. The form of Mutian Jiuge stood erect before Lin Mu like a giant staff, its imposing and righteous aura washing over the entire Heavenly Frontier.

During this process, An Lan was naturally making his move, but the surging red ocean subjected him to the most terrifying attacks and suppression of the Abyss's rules.

Palace Master Tianxu and Old Monster Su, in the midst of exchanging blows with Jian Wushuang, also felt immense pressure from Jian Wushuang's swordsmanship.

Li Zhichen was originally in his mid-thirties, but cultivators enjoy long lifespans and possess secret methods for preserving their youth. Thus, he looked to be only in his early twenties.

Li Zhichen gripped his long sword tightly and said, "Yet there is truly something wrong with them!" Sweeping forward like a flying willow leaf and a white silk band, he lashed directly at Xiao Lei, giving a fierce yank that hurled Xiao Lei far away.

This decisive declaration immediately silenced Lloyd's Bank, extinguishing their pipe dreams—even if they won the lawsuit, they would not get control of Standard Chartered's shares.

"Still, you needn't be discouraged; a way to cure him can always be found. If you trust me, leave it to me to handle, and I'll help you exact revenge." Cheng Yan raised an eyebrow, a clever gleam in her eyes making Lu Chenxi's heart itch with anticipation.

Were his words sincere? Was he being serious? Why would he fancy her? Wasn't he always arrogant and peerless? How could he speak to her with such calm and tender words?

"OK! You can take your time to consider, and it would be best to consult old Mr. Yu for advice as well." Pacino smiled, patted Yu Lei's shoulder, and ran off to strike up a conversation with Liyue.

Whatever you are unwilling to do, discard it; what you love, fight for it, seize it. If something is truly good, you must strive for it with all your might. If you genuinely cannot seize it, you must at least muddy the waters and get a piece of it.

"Senior, it's right here." Mengshan halted his steps, pointed at the crevice in the stone before him, and said to Xia Haoran.

"Indeed, rest assured, everything has been resolved, quick as lightning," Gao Chunyu said with a hint of pride.

The emperor snatched the letter straight out of Gao Kun's hands, scanning it rapidly. The more he read, the angrier he grew, and the more unsightly his expression became.

Hoo... Yan Ruojiu let out a deep sigh. There was nowhere left to go now. Having bustled and panicked all morning, Yan Ruojiu had no choice but to drag her exhausted body despairingly back.

"I won't think about it anymore." Sheng Nan shook her head without the slightest hesitation. The chivalrous spirit in her heart had long been ground down to nothing by the dirty, sordid reality and the cold, merciless nature of humanity.

She was not unaware that when Xuan Shao knelt before Jiayang Mutian in the end, it was not to express gratitude for the marriage decree, but to reject it.

Quanquan analyzed very earnestly. Because Weiwei had a relatively low word count, it was already completed. Posting the tomb-robbing story now should yield quite good results.

Therefore, after making the request in person over the phone, the commander of the Cyan Regiment poured himself a cup of functional beverage. Then, his gaze fixed steadily on a bag of cheese crackers before him, holding a jelly energy pack between his fingers, running the numbers in his head over and over regarding the subordinates of his who had already fallen in action.

"I seem to have packed away a few baby bottles. Wait a moment, I'll go dig them out." At the time, she had almost thrown them away, but giving a second thought to how they might come in handy later, she had kept them.

"No... no..." Quasha felt as though all his strength had been drained away. He slumped limply beside his lifeless father, despair completely overwhelming him as he thought, I might as well just go along with my family like this.

Standing by the window observing the group, Bian Zhilin pricked up his ears, clenched his fists tightly, and wore a gloomy expression.

"Lady Xuan, please speak freely." Murong Yunmo knew that what followed must be the true purpose of Madam Yan's visit this time.

Derisive laughter instantly erupted from the audience. Le Mei gnashed her teeth in hatred, but a sudden wince of pain made her wail aloud. She pointed at Le Bing, wishing she could tear her apart, though no one paid her any heed.

Without a word, the nightmare sprite simply drifted upward, flying toward the sky. In the blink of an eye, it ascended more than ten meters high and beckoned to Xing Tianyu.

From the outbreak of the An Lushan Rebellion, when Li Longji led his entourage in flight from Chang'an, a little over a year had passed, and the city of Chang'an had finally returned to the hands of the Great Tang.

At this moment, there was neither confusion nor a trace of anger on Zhu Da's face; instead, he wore a smile. Through his careful observation, Chang Kai could easily discern the mocking intent hidden within Zhu Da's smile.

That man had undoubtedly given his entire heart, and this affection had long since surpassed anyone's imagination.

Lin Mu felt both startled and delighted at this moment. Now that the reason why this spiritual herb could not survive had been found, the next step was figuring out how to resolve it.

"Go." After Ghost Seven departed, Baili Wuchen once again plunged into the black vortex of instantaneous teleportation. His destination was not far from where he had just teleported.
