Chapter 121: Chop Hands

When Lu Yalan was lifted up by Mu Chengyao, she was still dazed. She didn’t understand how Mu Chengyao suddenly appeared here. Thinking she must be dreaming, she instinctively pinched his cheek.

The warm sensation startled her, and a voice that sent a shiver down her spine whispered in her ear, “I’m here.”

Mu Chengyao carefully examined the injured cheek of Lu Yalan. The swelling had subsided considerably, but the five distinct finger marks were still clearly visible. It was easy to imagine how hard that slap must have been.

Frustration, pity, and concern surged in Mu Chengyao’s heart all at once. Even his usually steady hands trembled slightly. His cold, clear eyes darkened briefly before regaining their calm, unreadable calmness. He asked, “Does it hurt?”

“Don’t you even know about the Seven-Colored Divine Clan?” Yu Xi was surprised. Then she recalled that Qin Chuan was from the lower realm, the wild and isolated borderlands, so it made sense.

Princess Yun Jing suddenly threw a tantrum, locking herself in her room and refusing to eat. It wasn’t a major issue; a little comfort would suffice. But the steward mentioned that Princess Yun Jing’s behavior was triggered by a letter from the capital.

If it were just an ordinary Liu Haochen, he would be much like the other gifted youths. But Liu Haochen possessed the Wàn Líng Evil Body. If he were to evolve into an evil god, he would instantly surpass another realm.

Although if he reached the Heavenly Being stage, even Empress Yue wouldn’t be able to contain him. He would grow as he wished, but reaching that stage would likely take ten years.

Meanwhile, Hua Tian and the others entered Qingxi Village. As Monk Rú Niàn had predicted, all the formations he had set up during the day were completely ineffective. Those intricate Buddhist arrays had no effect whatsoever.

Chen Zihe’s sudden appearance startled Lu Le greatly. Wang Xin had just stepped out of the elevator and, seeing Li Siyue pass by, was about to call her name.

Seeing the tall, lean warrior rush toward Zhou An, several people panicked and tried to chase after him, but it was already too late.

She had always thought Zhou An had a good character—ruthless to enemies but kind to his own. Though somewhat mischievous, he was never frightening.

Hao Ren shook his head and whispered, “They’re investigating Old Man Jin…” Then he repeated what Duanmu Fengyu and Qing Mu had said earlier.

“Flashlight! Flashlight!” General Ma almost spat blood when he saw Han Ping’s large black lace bra exposed.

Piao Piao didn’t leave while Xia Yu was asleep. At this moment, she had no strength, couldn’t release her battle beast, and her survival was uncertain. It was best to stay with Xia Yu.

After eating, Wang Bing came out from under the overpass, then went to a public restroom to freshen up and adjust his attire in the mirror.

Because of this, no matter how advanced the underground city’s technology was, the efficiency of capturing wanted Taskers wasn’t high.

It was no wonder Xiao Ya chased all the way from Tiandu to Macau, even leading four people to storm the Shangri-La Hotel.

“Brother Wang, you’re too twisted, and you hit too hard,” one soldier, the first to recover, grimaced and said, clutching his chest.

Su Rui believed that the relevant departments and leaders of Zhen Kingdom would see the potential of Zhen Wheat. They understood how crucial the birth of such wheat was for a nation—especially for a populous country like Zhen Kingdom. It was akin to a nuclear weapon, even the very foundation of a nation.

After all, counterfeit goods were ubiquitous worldwide; complete isolation was impossible. The only difference lay between legal and illegal products.

Those in high positions had their temperaments—dignity that could not be disrespected, especially big brother Zhuo Wei, the relentless paparazzo.

In the second quarter, after Crawford of the Hawks deftly faked out Gibson and scored a layup, the Hawks took the lead. Scott immediately called a timeout.

Suddenly, there was a sharp scream. Wings flapping behind, the creature instantly appeared before Tian Xuanzi, its large jaws about to clamp down on him.

“Soft Soul Water”—once this entered the body, even experts in the Combined Cultivation stage would feel utterly weak, their strength greatly diminished.
