Volume 1, Chapter 33: Kneel until the stars shift and the constellations turn, kneel until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!

Steward Zhou’s face turned ashen at the sight. It was over; while the master was filial to his elders, he had always been stern with his servants.

Those who had originally intended to skip the auction now planned to attend. One wonders if General Wan would regret his decision to seal off the news, knowing it had only served to draw in more rivals.

"If you can't understand what 'dizzy' means, why don't you just look it up in a dictionary?" Cheng Suxiang felt Liang Baoguang was being unreasonable, or perhaps deliberately making things difficult for her. Why else would he fixate on the meaning of the word "dizzy"? She was here to see a doctor, not to take a language proficiency exam.

Speaking of which, while the art of deduction is miraculous, it cannot fathom the human heart. Even a Hunyuan Sage cannot control the thoughts of others.

Filled with frustration, Xu Qingyan had no choice but to abandon her plan. She continued her journey, resting along the way, covering forty to fifty miles a day.

She slapped the trio—the primary attacker, the accomplice, and the bystander—one by one. "Hurry up, enough with the nonsense!"

"Fantastic, Mom, well said!" Fang Yuan smiled, giving Zheng Mi a big thumbs-up.

"Understood." The surgeon’s hand was incredibly steady as he slowly injected calcium into Chamberlain Watson’s spleen.

In a flash, Xu Qingyan retracted her silver needle, spiritual energy surging into her palm. Just as she was about to strike, a man in black robes suddenly darted out from nowhere and kicked the galloping horse in the head.

"Baa!" The goat’s eyes brimmed with fury; this time, without a moment’s hesitation, it shook its head firmly.

"No, according to the instrument data, this is not an Yapool. It must be from somewhere much further away." Asami Fujisawa insisted on her theory, demanding to go to the site in Japan to investigate.

"Since you've worked so hard, let's go home tonight and try the eighty-style rotation," Jackie said, blocking the changing room door while speaking to Christie.

Inside a very ordinary family restaurant on the pedestrian street, Arthur appeared, dressed in new clothes.

However, it seemed the Immortal Alliance had no intention of digging deeper. His "Soul-Splitting Jade-Seed" technique remained unexposed. While the Alliance’s attitude toward him was ambiguous, they ultimately still regarded him as one of their own.

Ye Kai said, "The day before yesterday, the day someone brought the coffin." Boss Song replied, "How could I have missed five such strangers arriving in town that day?"

Lindy shook his head with a smile. An ancient deity? A legendary, singular true god? He hadn't realized he had acquired so many titles.

The next moment, just as the whistling rain of arrows was about to descend, Cai He swung his arms with all his might, causing the oxhide cloth to unfurl in the wind and spin rapidly.

Liya effortlessly grabbed Guinevere’s arm and pulled her into an embrace before the latter could even react.

They cursed a few times, hugged their children, and turned back home. As for the thought of rescuing the children, it never crossed their minds. Most country folk preferred to protect their own interests; those who would stir up trouble were, after all, few and far between.

The thumping music started, and An Hao and the other hosts were already prepared in front of the screens.

The soul orb belonging to Mu Gaofeng suddenly exploded, startling a guardian elder. When he saw that the third orb had shattered, he broke into a cold sweat and rushed off to report.

"Ming Lei, by that logic, doesn't it mean that the universe actually contains multiple dimensions, perhaps even hundreds of them?" Xiao Yi asked.

Someone proudly announced that they had a friend working at Mango Company and had obtained absolute inside information.

Following Li Dajue’s wishes, he took his wife straight to Yandao County the next day. Gao cautioned that they shouldn't be too hasty with the other four counties; they needed to see the clemency shown to Magistrate Jin so that the other magistrates wouldn't feel compelled to resist to the bitter end. As the three discussed this, they entered Yazhou City surrounded by their guards.

Suddenly, Gu Tiexin’s figure flickered, his killing intent laid bare. The Crazy Beggar’s cold gaze sharpened, fixed on a person in a cotton hat standing behind Gu Tiexin.

But if the great tree behind him were to fall, what would he have left? Any fool could guess his fate; given the people he had offended in the past, a life worse than death would be a mercy.

The middle-aged cultivator opened the lid of the box, and suddenly, the sky was filled with a brilliant glow. Faintly, a blood-red dragon and a blood-red tortoise could be seen entwined, roaring at the heavens.

"Shall we test that, then?" Ce Cangmang smiled faintly, brushing his hand across the void before him. A mirror appeared, and within it flowed the long river of fate.

Lei Juekun, the boss of Golden Princess, actually had similar thoughts. With his rival, the Golden Harvest theater chain, making such a strong opening move, he felt a sense of unease.

"The old lady is doing quite well! When I visited yesterday, she was in high spirits. With Seventh Master looking after her these days, she has been able to get out of bed and walk around much longer than before."

His figure was tall and robust, his muscles flowing and powerful. There was a bloody hole in his waist, and deep claw marks crisscrossed his back along his spine.

Images of the demon priest Xuandian’s glowing red eyes and his Pure Yang Dao body, wreathed in eerie green-blue flames, surfaced in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Watching the Taoist priest’s departing figure, the village chief’s eyes flashed with malice, mixed with confusion. Was there something wrong with this priest? Could he not even be scared away by the plague?
