Volume 1, Chapter 44: Husband and Wife, Transaction, White Stone

"Yet your male companion seems somewhat incapable of satisfying you." Fearless as ever, He Xiang stepped even closer.

"Hey, Senior Brother!" The next morning, just as Mo Beiya stepped out of his room, he heard Xiahou Muqing's voice, though her figure was nowhere to be seen.

Her icy attitude seemed like a deliberate fit of temper over something. Completely baffled, Du Congyue was left speechless by her remark, not knowing how to respond.

And when had he begun to change? It was precisely that afternoon, when he caught a glimpse of a future no one else had ever witnessed.

"Since you are unwilling to be honest, I can't be bothered to listen to those details anyway. After all, finding out sooner or later is inevitable." Mo Chen refused to play his game, moving directly to close the car door and prepare to leave.

His body bore numerous bloody gasps, and fresh blood continually spilled from his mouth. His aura was extraordinarily weak, and from the look of it, he had clearly been heavily wounded.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang You beside him felt a sudden chill. "Same here." As he said this, he cast a look of utter disgust at Wang Lü.

Fortunately, those transformation-stage fierce beasts eventually departed the vicinity of Red Rock Mountain one after another, and the mountain returned to its former peace.

He hurriedly tried to communicate with Freddy. Fortunately, the connection was still intact, and through Freddy's perspective, it had already walked inside.

If only my equipment weren't so incompetent—the moment my gear could connect to the hyper-dimension, I refuse to believe I wouldn't be able to see what is on your mind?

None of the other major factions among the six spoke up. In truth, had Qin Tianming and Xiao Jun been present, they would not have allowed their subordinates to utter such words, as that would thoroughly nail down Li Yi's guilt, and they were well aware of Li Yi's true strength.

Jiang Liushi's expression instantly turned grave. During their absence, this house must have been visited by the man who lived here previously, as well as the men sent by Boss Sun.

Now our numbers are roughly equal, and our strengths are evenly matched. It is hard to predict who will ultimately win or lose.

"Sigh, we must invite the people from the Barbarian City tomorrow. We definitely must, no matter how much it costs, her illness has to be cured!" Captain Bao grew somewhat irritated, slammed the door, and walked out.

"He is an outer disciple of the Universe Sect; didn't you see that token at his waist?" Someone who seemed to know better hurriedly pointed toward it. At the same time, everyone saw that the fellow indeed wore a waist token engraved with the character "Outer," as if this token represented the supreme symbol of imperial power.

As soon as Lü Zhenhe finished speaking, Huo Ting'en on the other side also assumed a stance. The Huo family and their ancestral boxing style were certainly not to be trifled with; without a moment's hesitation, he rushed forward, aiming his fist straight at the center of Qin Tiequan's chest.

Blade-maker Li had us pull the bellows for him while he continuously added charcoal to the furnace. The fire indeed grew increasingly fierce, and my face felt burning hot just from standing nearby.

Since he held such a low opinion of Zhuang Qiang, it was obvious that Zhuang Qiang was no good. I hurriedly called Xiaowen. Xiaowen's voice was soft and lazy, just like someone who had just woken up.

With rosy complexions and steady breathing, they looked less like unconscious people and more like they were enjoying a peaceful sleep.

I thought about it carefully, and my cheeks grew slightly warm. Even though our relationship was heading toward that of an old married couple, discussing such "private matters" was still somewhat embarrassing to put into words.

Major corporations, however, could not be ignored—especially the Big Four of Earth-Star, or now the Big Five if Tengteng Entertainment is included.

Yet at this moment, with Ye Youyou and Long Chi having inflicted such treatment upon Ye Zihan, letting them return would undoubtedly be like releasing tigers back into the mountains. This was something he was truly unwilling to do.

Because of this, throughout the Tang Dynasty—or at least during the Zhenguan era under Li Er's reign—bestowals and rewards were handled with extreme caution. Not the slightest deviation from ritual propriety was permitted.

All the corpses had purplish complexions, protruding eyes, and bleeding from the seven facial orifices. It was obvious they had died of poisoning.

At the crucial moment, it was Guo Xiangjie, along with dormmates Chen Zhixiong and Li Shanhao, who pinned the guy down and slapped him twice before he finally calmed down.

Although Cheng Yaojin felt secretly angry, the current situation... as far as official duty was concerned, the other party had not violated any military laws so far; and on a personal level... since his own son could make friends with such fiercely loyal subordinates, as a father, he ought to protect his wings.

Huo Lingfeng had witnessed plenty of pole dances, and though Zhuang Qingqing's dancing technique was slightly unpolished, every single movement was executed with the utmost sincerity.

Upon entering, Hongluan felt everything was so novel, touching this and examining that every few moments.

Furthermore, this was precisely what the ancients called a "critical moment of life and death." Unloading cargo already felt a fraction too slow, and now to encounter someone trying to "cut the line"—how could it not make one's blood boil?

After wiping away her tears, she said, "To be honest with you, if I had known Nuannuan would live such a life after getting married, I certainly would never have agreed to it."

Yet Shixing beheld Xingri sitting cross-legged upon a black lotus in the starry expanse, a demonic mirror suspended above his head—the very same mirror he had used to clash with the Shadow King back then. At that moment, the demonic mirror spun, and upon its surface, Feng Yise could be seen flailing and struggling, desperate to break free.

Only then did Shixing understand why this reward had been delayed over and over again; as it turned out, such reasons lay behind it.

Therefore, if Lin Xiao wished to enter, he truly had to make some preparations—such as pouring a massive amount of spiritual energy into the stone tablet right now and activating it.

However, the possibility of their memories being erased was slim; after all, their memories were far too vast and enduring. Probably only a Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable could manage to erase several years of profound memories from a formidable zombie entity.

He knew that he and his companions had truly suffered a disastrous defeat this time, and one that left them completely devoid of temper.

The crowd began to discuss animatedly. It was not that the Immortal Gates forbade killing, but rather that killing was prohibited in public spaces such as restaurants, entertainment complexes, hotels, and the like. This was done to maintain public order; forget about killing someone—even getting into a fistfight could land you dragged off to the Enforcement Gate.
