Volume 1, Main Text - Chapter 40: How Dare You Treat Me Like This?

Liansheng underwent a transformation of emptiness, and the gunshot wounds on his body vanished in the blink of an eye. With a fierce intent in his heart, he cast out the Dust-Avoiding Bead. Instantly, dirt and sand billowed throughout the entire colosseum, a sandstorm enveloping the spectators' vision and rendering the two combatants completely invisible to them.

Under normal circumstances, upon arriving in such a hopeless dead end, wouldn't everyone feel dejected, apprehensive, and plagued by anxiety?

Yet this Scholar Chen stepped upon azure clouds, ascending step by step like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard, directly walking through the void on the azure clouds and entering the battlefield.

This kind of Vajra Talisman is not the sort of complete defense talisman that forms an energy shield; its effect is merely to strengthen one's own physical defense, and the attack will ultimately still land on the body.

Of course, even if Gan Tian were still around, Chu He would not have forged better-performing alloy steel weapons for him. Their relationship had not yet grown that close.

Searching through Fede's mind, he finally recalled this Holy Spirit Mercenary Corps—this mercenary group seemed to be one of the top nine mercenary corps of the Mercenary Guild. However, he knew very little about the rest of this corps, and as for the Pillar Priest, he had never even heard of him.

In fact, Zhao Tianming knew that not only these two paintings by Xu Wei, but all the remaining ones as well, bore this "Fuyu Shanyin" connoisseurship seal. It was very likely that this person was the final handler of these paintings, the one who had concealed the scroll within the Guanyin vase.

The maze passage was about five meters wide on both sides, roughly the width of a room. Two walls stretched endlessly upward into the invisible heights, while the light sources were luminescent plants along the edges of the passage—each of them emitting the brightness of a single candle. The great number of these plants illuminated the entire corridor to look like a runway.

Just as Fede fell into deep thought, Jack and Margaret suddenly rushed toward them. Behind them were more than ten guards, with the steward Fandek running at the very forefront, directing the guards to surround Jack and Margaret.

He probably felt that as long as he himself did not die, what did it matter if the world was destroyed? What relation did it have to him?

"Your repressed and flirty true nature." After saying this, Gu Jiu bit Gu Huaiyan's chest lightly without any excessive force and spoke.

Immediately afterward, everyone saw an old elder with only the initial stage of a Four-Star Dou Sheng plunging violently down from the high sky. What was even stranger was that Zhukun, who had been frantic to escape just a moment before, actually came to a complete halt.

The brothel madam was just about to open her mouth to dissuade and utter a few pleasant words when Jiang Linchuan stopped her, secretly slipping her a heavy, glittering ingot of gold.

Just as she stepped inside, she suddenly noticed a package placed upon the table.

Ning Han picked up his wine glass and thought quietly for a moment. Indeed, if someone else were to take over the task of looking after Han Shiliang, for her sake, Liu Yiyang would not be at ease either.

"Are you still Ye Li?" Qin Lang asked in disbelief. Something had gone wrong; Ye Li was not like this. She might be humble, cowardly, or helpless, but she shouldn't be like this.

Seeing that Xu Zhouzhou truly did not intend to keep them, Tao Qingming's face slumped again. His chest heaved violently, and he was clearly extremely furious.

He originally wanted to find some clues on his older brother's face, but he was disappointed. Aside from being calm, Ye Chenkun was simply smiling at him.

On the contrary, this time Shen Xia wore a smile and safely spun around in front of Aunt Lian to show that she was uninjured.

"Naturally, it is to change your medicine," Murong You raised her head and said with a faint smile, her hands not stopping as she deftly unfastened Murong Qingran's garments.

Having said this, Mor's heart welled with a trace of bitterness, and the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking sneer. It was his father who had harmed Ya'er; what qualification did he have to mention the word "family" in front of Ya'er?

"Hmph! No matter what, the Leng family is your home, and that is an immutable fact." Imperial Noble Consort Rong truly did not wish to continue arguing with Leng Mozhi, so she dropped all circumlocution.

Yang Yingtian pushed Yun Xi down once more, pinning him beneath his body, capturing his lips, while his hands wandered over Yun Xi's body.

Young Master Yan slightly raised his hand to block the somewhat dazzling golden light, narrowing his eyes as he scanned the surrounding environment.

It is said that there is a rumor that when a child is born, whichever relative holds him first will cause the child to resemble them when he grows up.

Li Mujun's hearing was astonishing; even though Lu Qi had slowed her footsteps, Li Mujun still caught the sound and almost instinctively glanced toward the surveillance screen.

I thought to myself, just endure it; my public image has already hit rock bottom, so I have to find a way to bounce back a little bit.

"Your Highness, Maiden Runian, isn't your name Runian? This clearly writes Qilian Heiru." Danxiong looked at Runian with a mocking curve at the corner of her mouth.

Without waiting long, Haozi arrived, and the two of us chatted all the way, unknowingly arriving at the school.

"How can we just let it go? Without her, there wouldn't be you... This debt of gratitude, Mother must repay it." Recalling the despair she felt when she learned about Gao Haotian's car accident, Qin Su's eyes grew somewhat red.

He stood proudly on the deck, flanked by Lü Bu and six other generals, while Ye Yang, Pei Min, Lu Jiutian, and others stood in an overbearing manner.

After this fellow died, he simply could not comprehend how Li Bai could unleash his ultimate skill twice in succession, and cursed Li Bai furiously for being too insidious.

Gao Hanying and Yang Yi simultaneously felt a bone-chilling cold, as if they had plunged into an ice cave. The problem was that it was the height of summer.

To be honest, in the bottom of my heart, I indeed sympathized a little with Huang Yu, but since we had become love rivals, one side was bound to fail, and I certainly did not want that person to be me. Reality was simply that cruel.

The Grand Heir and Xia Han parted with lingering reluctance, especially the Grand Heir, who was extremely attached to this newly acquainted friend.

"..." Mo Hong only then realized that he had not explained to these two beforehand what this was.

The imperial palace was unlike the homes of ordinary commoners; even in the depth of winter, fresh vegetables could be seen from time to time. But these had been shipped from afar, and judging by their appearance, they simply could not compare to this.

Sun Li could not very well go out naked, so he casually pulled on his clothes. Not even having time to put on his underwear, he wrapped a bath towel around his waist and went to open the door.

Yet time will not halt for this; even if you do not move, it will continue to march forward. He gazed out the window at the pitch-black night sky. Today must be the beginning of the lunar month, with a crescent moon hanging in the heavens. Tomorrow would likely rain, for the stars were pitifully few, and that crescent moon hanging in the sky looked exceedingly lonely.

Let love pass on the dreams between you and me, let love ignite the hope of life. Even though life has passed, love does not die; the light of dreams continues to shine, never allowing it to be extinguished.
