Volume 1, Chapter 60: A Vulgar Fellow Clouded by Lust
"What? You still have a video?" Hu Shen was merely joking just now. Given that so many paparazzi in the industry failed to get any scoop, he simply could not believe that Zhou Zekai had actually managed to obtain one. Seeing that Zhou Zekai did not look like he was lying, a wave of panic began to well up in his heart.
Consequently, after the incident involving An Taizhi, his paintings also vanished from public view, their whereabouts unknown. Today, it is extremely difficult to find his works on the market, and those that do exist are nothing more than unfinished drafts.
This object is called a spirit banner, or a white-headed banner in our region. It is used to clear the path during a funeral. Carrying this item at the very head of the procession guides those holding flower wreaths and carrying the coffin, while also leading the soul of the deceased.
It was four o'clock in the morning, though Ye Li could not make out the exact time clearly. All she saw was a thin scar on Qin Lang's wrist—a red mark stretching from his wrist to his elbow. The blood had already dried, yet against his unusually fair skin for a boy, the crimson scar remained startling.
"If you are willing to join our team, call this number. Of course, if you ever need help with anything, just one phone call and I will definitely be there." This was his sincerity; when wishing to gather new partners, sincerity was paramount.
Secondly, censorial officials exercised the duty of surveillance, and nepotism was the greatest taboo. If Liu Dongyan were to be appointed as a regional censorial official, the very first place he should recuse himself from was Lingnan.
However, Qin Hu was deeply in love with Chen Ruoli and stubbornly refused to let go, whereas Chen Ruoli had long since felt extreme aversion toward this vicious young lord.
It felt as though she had been struck by a heavy hammer; Yang Qian felt her head buzz, and her mind instantly went blank.
Her younger sister had just acquired a boyfriend—calling him a fiancé was definitely out of the question. Meng Shuo muttered this to himself while casting a glance at his guilty-looking sister, knowing immediately that she had probably blocked their parents from viewing her Moments post... By now, the parents were bound to blow a gasket.
Yet, upon careful reflection just now, the tiger-wolf demon was actually quite decent and treated her well, practically worshiping her like a deity.
The Thousand-Man Slayer was still fast asleep in bed—Beijue had no idea whether he had climbed into bed on his own or if someone had carried him up. After shouting several times without waking him, Beijue simply fetched some cold water and poured it over his head.
Having settled everything here, Su Yingxue and Yao Feifei left Twilight City and officially stepped into Heavenly Capital City.
Man and wolf communicated in this bizarre fashion, until the alpha let out a howl, causing the rest of the wolves to scamper away into the distance, while the alpha itself trotted over to Lu Ran and nuzzled against him.
Lin Le smiled coldly inwardly. His physique had been tempered by magma, and having practiced demonic arts, he had once been forged by the boundless demonic energy, ultimately attaining the Nine-Nether Body of the Nine-Nether Demonic Emperor. Through the harmonization of yin and yang, he had achieved at least the demonic sovereign might of the seventh realm of the Void Return stage.
At that moment, with the roar of engines, four Land Rovers drove successively into the nightclub parking lot. Chu Tianshutian could not help frowning upon seeing them, and his mood soured even further when he saw a dozen men in black alighting from the vehicles. Why? Because their aggressive aura was simply too arrogant; did they look anything like business people? They looked entirely like gangsters.
Shen Tianlan was slightly startled. He must not discover that she was not human; otherwise, once it was found out that Yue Wei had brought her in, Yue Wei would undoubtedly be in deep trouble.
In front of the carriage, the beasts pulling it were four Golden-Horned Dragon Beasts resembling rhinoceri from Earth, each possessing strength that had reached the Spirit Refining realm. Legend has it that they are descendants of ancient divine dragons and currently rank among the most powerful demonic beasts that humans can tame.
She remained entirely silent, yet her gaze remained fixed upon him. She knew clearly what he was going to say next, yet her heart ached just thinking about it.
The Big Dipper had nothing else to say, other than asking him to look after the Jinzhu Yelang Bar. Chu Tianshu naturally agreed repeatedly before taking his leave.
The words of the massive monster once again enlightened Ye Han. Enveloped within the domain, although these primordial beasts existed not far from him, their traces remained completely undetectable—and this was the very reason why.
Zhang Guodong shook his head. From the reports above, he knew that Lin Yifeng was progressing rapidly and would certainly be able to hold his own during a life-or-death battle. He now felt a bit more confident of winning, and unless there was absolutely no alternative, he would not casually ask that old man for help.
"Have all their people already arrived? How could they be so certain that I would definitely go to meet them?" Lin Yifeng found it extremely amusing.
"Since everyone is showing me such enthusiasm, I might as well go over and take a trip with the two of you." Lin Yifeng suddenly spoke up at that moment.
Guan Quaner felt a strong sense of resonance with Qu Xiaoxiao for the very first time, making it her bounden duty and obligation to help tutor Qu Xiaoxiao. She went back to her room to fetch the disc and went together with Qu Xiaoxiao to knock on the door of unit 2201.
"I... it's actually me who has something to look for you about," Zhang Yuelei said in a gentle tone, clearly looking a bit embarrassed.
At that moment, the five older boys in the corner of the internet cafe lobby downstairs instantly felt a sense of unprecedented pressure.
Dusting the ash off his clothes, Xia Qingxiao scampered outside and indeed saw that her father had already seated himself in the courtyard.
Xie Yihan had returned to school. Having taken too long of a sick leave, she had no choice but to retake the semester. During that period, Ye Li found her deeply irritating; even though she had no classes to attend, she would still come to the dormitory every single day to seek her out, and upon doing so, she would do nothing but chatter on about Qin Lang.
Could Xia Qingxiao have made the acquaintance of other males in such a short span of time? And even travel together with them? Most importantly, the identity of the male remained unknown for now, with only the fact that he was a native of the Purple Swallow Country. Could it be that Xia Qingxiao was planning to take her entire family to the Purple Swallow Country?
"This must be Lord Fu. I wonder what it means for Lord Fu to burst into my residence with such aggressive momentum?" Prefect Wu suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
However, Wang Er knew very well in his heart that this item could be held until after the fall of Western Xia to be exchanged for an even greater sum of wealth. Furthermore, having observed outside the Bianjing Prefecture for several days, Wang Er was well aware of how the citizens of Bianjing City would wave the money in their hands as they rushed into the prefectural office, only to leave with beaming smiles holding bonds in their hands.
Besides, the two of you—one wants to hoodwink the Jin Dynasty, and the other wants to take in nomadic pastoralists from the grasslands as labor—truly, one is skilled at deception while the other knows how to play the game, but have either of you bastards ever considered the strategic plans of our Privy Council?
Though he knew in his heart that things certainly could not be that simple, the white-bearded elder's face nevertheless displayed a look of regret, and he then spoke with a troubled expression.
Because he had dispatched numerous spies to the Song Dynasty, he guessed that the Jin Dynasty must also harbor a massive number of Song spies, and perhaps even double agents within the imperial court. When Wanyan Sheng carried out this matter, he had not informed a single soul—not even Wanyan Gao knew that Wanyan Sheng had made such preparatory moves.
However, Lu Jin merely cast a faint glance before lowering his head, preparing to follow behind the caravan, which left Jin Yao somewhat displeased.
