Volume 1, Chapter 59: Break His Legs for This Prince!
The Qi family was considered a prominent and influential household in the capital, possessing a grand and magnificent estate. The red lanterns had already been taken down and replaced with white ones, casting a stark, plain whiteness over the mourning hall. Perhaps because the news had not yet spread far, there were not very many people coming to offer their condolences.
If his parents were to find out that his engagement had been broken off and that matters had escalated to such an ugly extent, returning home would surely result in him being beaten to death. His entire life would likely be ruined.
This left him deeply conflicted. Yet, looking at Qin Shou’s leisurely and carefree demeanor, it was clear that the man had no intention of telling him anything.
He longed for revenge, and the moment he laid eyes on Situ Qiuying right then, a bold idea began to sprout within his heart.
The dazzling radiance condensed by the two long spears illuminated the entire atomic energy zone. Even the zither masters in the arena seemed to sense the oppressive aura emanating from the spears, causing the musical note elements lingering around them to tremble faintly.
"General, what is the meaning of this?" Didn't you just say there would be a reward? Why, in the blink of an eye, are your officers drawing swords and halberds against me? The chief escort asked General Li in bewilderment, pressing for an explanation.
Qin Shou was left speechless and simply decided not to explain further. Stepping into the room, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually quite nice.
With a pluck of the strings, the zither master played a pure, smooth, and flowing melody. Judging by its style, it leaned more toward the Xiaoxiang school. Ye Xianglun noticed that the elderly man sitting on the left twitched his eyebrows slightly upon hearing the zither music. His originally slender eyes narrowed into mere slits, hanging across his face like a pair of thin threads.
Giving no room for maneuvering whatsoever, Chen Zhiruo's expression stiffened slightly. Given her status, when had anyone ever dared to treat her with such blatant disrespect?
Jiang Kui’s running figure came to an abrupt halt! Jiang Lin was heavy, and his momentum was substantial as well. Due to his severe injuries, Jiang Kui’s arms grew weak, leaving him to watch helplessly as Jiang Lin tumbled to the ground.
"What is the meaning of this? Why are you just standing around? Do you expect me to do it myself?" Du Ming felt a surge of anger seeing that none of his subordinates dared to move, and he barked loudly.
"Cheng Yao pays his respects to the master!" Another man named Cheng Yao, though nursing a wounded leg, dropped to his knees and kowtowed as if a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade had collapsed.
Generally speaking, the primary goal of the demon race was to achieve human form before pursuing even higher aspirations. Therefore, transformation into human shape was the greatest temptation. Otherwise, hindered by the transverse bone in their throats, spirit beasts would never be able to break through the peak of the fifteenth stage and would eventually exhaust their lifespans, turning into nothingness.
Like all criminal syndicates, Japanese gang organizations started out by operating gambling dens, collecting protection fees, and engaging in extortion. However, beginning in the 1990s, they initiated a "strategic shift," incorporating companies, investing in large-scale national construction projects such as real estate and transportation, and extending their tentacles into the financial sector.
She sold the space-consuming old wardrobe and had an electric welder fashion two lightweight iron racks to slide underneath the raised iron-framed bed.
At that moment, his cell phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw that the caller was none other than Li San, the special forces operative who had disguised himself as the security guard at Mingyang High School.
With Dai Ao, who possessed an equally formidable spiritual power, present, casting soul-capturing techniques of his own would be entirely futile.
As for the strength of spiritual awareness, Li Xu was at the mid-stage of the Mystic Immortal realm, whereas his opponent was merely at the peak of the late Earth Immortal stage. However, Li Xu did not counterattack; instead, he traced the tracks left behind by the opponent's spiritual awareness, discovering that it originated from a place over five thousand li northwest of Xinmin City.
"You prodigal wretch, one look at you shows you're no good. Just look at you—to what extent have you become such a depraved pervert?" Yang Pufan sneered.
"Old Xu, why do you walk without making a sound? You scared the hell out of me!" Duan Mingyu touched his chest and said.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is the undisputed number one player in our China region, Sky." Xiao Yi said thus.
It was not that Feng Jie lacked confidence in the strength of his own army, nor was it that he overestimated Xiang Yu’s forces. Rather, it was simply the reality of the situation.
Amidst thunderous roars, the unstoppable momentum of tens of thousands of Jiuyuan cavalrymen instantly reached its peak, rolling forward with the force of an avalanche to crush Mogel's one hundred thousand Eastern Hu cavalry.
Unlike other singers who needed to sing at various venues to promote a single, he simply performed his single "Higher" on the most popular talk show in front of forty million Americans and announced that all proceeds from the track would be donated.
Zhao Qing was outfitted in a full suit of armor. The longsword, which was hardly of much use on the battlefield, had been discarded, and he now gripped a long spear in his hand.
Passing around the screen, one could see the potbellied Li Ji, Consort Li, and Lady Yu seated gracefully on back-rest chairs, gathered around a square table with Long Jiao—who had just finished her month of postpartum confinement—happily playing mahjong.
The protective aura of those Martial Dao Hall masters was hardly weak, yet facing this preposterously monstrous manta ray, they were utterly helpless. In the blink of an eye, three or five of them were dispatched by the creature, while it did not leave a single scratch on itself.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll drink, I'll drink!" Duan Mingyu poured two cups of wine. Wan Yanyan linked arms with Duan Mingyu, threw back her head, and drank it down in one go.
"You already know what I'm thinking. Must you be so freakishly perceptive?" Long Yu complained with a sigh as she walked out holding the new clothes.
"Then that is truly Lianxing’s honor, but it is a pity that Lianxing lacks the good fortune and fears she is unworthy of enjoying it." With a flick of her sleeve, the wine cup was returned once more.
Now, seeing that Yecheng was immediately before them, I truly thanked him for his care toward me and Shuying along this journey, while secretly feeling fortunate for the decision I had made.
Nan Chengyao left Qiyue without a moment's pause to hurry back to the Southern Dynasty, while Lian did not display any outward abnormalities before the crowd because of this turbulence, continuing to raise his cup in toast and chat merrily and with ease.
Liang Dong followed Mu Ling'er inside. The grade of this villa was vastly superior to the place Qi Qiang lived in.
"Really?" Mu Ling'er’s grandmother became even more incredulous. To say that these wines caused no harm to the body was already a stretch, but now to claim they could even make a person look a few years younger—how could anyone hear this without thinking it was an absolute fantasy and complete nonsense?
"Victoria, enter my Primordial God Space first to recover your strength," Wang彪 said with deep concern. His bond with Victoria had grown profoundly deep by now. They were not merely partners, but lovers as well. In Wang's heart, Victoria’s position was not the slightest bit inferior to Angela and Isabella.
Didn't the Dorr Family have a fairly good relationship with the Adolf Academy? Why were people from these two factions engaging in combat?
"Reinhardt, the Lord of the City of Destiny wants to kill us. Moreover, he bizarrely possesses the strength of a Chief God," Victoria observed, simultaneously asking Wang whether he should unleash his full strength and completely annihilate him.
