Chapter 142

From the words and between the lines of what had just been transmitted, Chen Teng could sense the other party's profound and utter disdain for the people of the Huaguo.

"Liu Shengxin, what on earth are you playing at?" Zheng Suru was also furious, unable to understand why her husband would suddenly pull such a stunt.

Sankuwa Shino’s face turned gloomy and his gaze grew icy. Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he slammed his hand on the table to set the tone.

Having gone three days and three nights without sleep, rest, food, or drink, no matter how eager Gesheng was to return home, he would never have wished for Christie to push herself to such desperate lengths.

Right from the beginning, when she made a wager with the Beast God—after Ye Qiu defeated the Luo Tian Saint Child and proved her judgment wrong—she had paid considerable attention to this indigenous son of Earth. Later on, she even invited him to a private meeting, though she never expected this fellow to be such an absolute master at playing the fool.

The two peerless celestial fiends instantly clashed, fighting with ferocious intensity. The surrounding area was left in utter ruins, with the ground collapsing layer by layer as the earth shook violently.

Why did he have to wait until this town had already been reduced to a living hell—until Zhang Qian had already fought a round with Magatsu-Hiki and almost been killed by him—before finally showing up?

Every day, he would wildly swing his sword and shield, execute a jumping slash combo, roll on the ground, pop out with a rolling counterattack, and follow up immediately with a spinning slash.

A child was still a child. Even though the Holy Child was the disciple of the Medicine Sage and possessed terrifying, unfathomable strength, his overwhelming vanity was nonetheless easily swayed by Tang Yu’s brazen flattery. The Holy Child deliberately raised the volume of his voice, put on the airs of an adult, patted his own chest, and declared:

"Dad, I really am completely helpless when it comes to my brother's illness. However, I just ran into an eccentric genius who can actually cure him," Yang Yueshan said hurriedly.

Sheng Beixuan was also dressed for extreme comfort, wearing a white shirt paired with casual suit trousers and white sneakers.

Just as the couple had anticipated, Aunt Bai was overjoyed by the twins' arrival, showing them a warm and affectionate demeanor. Yet, when facing Su Xing and Bo Shaohua, her attitude was noticeably different—her expression remained flat and entirely devoid of warmth.

Aside from encountering this disastrously ill-fated girl whose unreasonable wildness knew no bounds, what else could possibly be worse than this?

Back in her room, Ruoshui pondered over what Zhao Ninzhi had said. In truth, this man was nothing more than a conceited, arrogant peacock who looked down on everyone except himself.

The tip of the spear pierced through the air, flashing like a slithering silver snake. The "blood-blocking parry" stance unfolded, sweeping up goose-feather-sized snowflakes that clung to the shaft before being flicked away into a flurry. Yet, the two figures felt no cold; perhaps from practicing their spear techniques for so long, their bodies had naturally warmed up. Their faces were flushed a bright red, and plumes of hot steam puffed from their noses and mouths.

There were only three male employees in the entire design department. The guy Guo Xue used to fancy had been transferred to a branch studio in another province, so aside from Yu Chao, Dong Fei was the only guy left.

As these cold words escaped her lips, Aunt Bai's tears streamed down uncontrollably as she covered her mouth and choked back her sobs.

Euphemia had remained silent because, after much deep thought, she had arrived at a conclusion: whether the Duke of Richmond forbade her marriage to Sir William out of love for her or for some other reason. Taking advantage of a lull in their conversation, she voiced her thoughts to her sister.

With the money spent, the house renovation was undeniably gorgeous; if an extra floor were added, it could easily rival a villa.

Wang Yang's expression shifted unpredictably. If someone were to tell him that this token-like object had absolutely nothing to do with either the supply point or the God race, even he wouldn't believe it. Yet, he simply couldn't fathom why such an item would be left behind in this place in such a manner.

Startled, he turned his head and saw a shadowy figure sitting beside him amidst a ball of white light, maintaining a distance of one meter—neither too close nor too far.

The young man saw it clearly, let out a cry of despair, and watched with helpless horror as those sharp claws lunged down toward him.

Yang Lihua cast a reproachful glance at her. "Have some seriousness! By the way, Su Xin said she wants to sleep with you guys. Do you think that's alright?" With that, Yang Lihua signaled to Lin Shu with her eyes to prompt her agreement.

As for Mei Hongjing, she had already been thoroughly terrified into submission, so Chen Che had no intention of continuing to invoke that divine body possession.

Since he was not yet twenty years old, he did not wear a crown; instead, his raven-black hair was gathered up and secured with a dark jade hairpin.

"Let me take a look..." Lin Zhiguo was somewhat worried. Wang Shengli had been dragged into Daxing County by him in the first place, which had already wasted the man's time; if he were to get injured on top of that, his conscience would never let him rest.

The families who had built their houses upon that peace-soothing leaf felt a sudden tremor and bolted out of their homes in terror. Realizing that it was artificially caused, they could not help but burst into vehement curses.

These materials were sufficient for the base's expansion and reinforcement, meaning she no longer needed to worry about building supplies for the time being. Watching everyone bustling about, Zhang Jiayue strolled leisurely around the construction site.

"I can't smell it," Su Chen said with a smile. The two of them circled the tea mountain halfway, descended, and headed toward the back mountain where the tea farmers gathered.

"By taking everything upon yourself, you are simply piling endless troubles onto your own shoulders. Moreover, by doing so, you will also cause me to be sidelined as a figurehead," Dai Li said, narrowing his eyes slightly and calmly expressing his viewpoint.

The two men shared a bond forged through life and death, so in the absence of outsiders, they acted somewhat uninhibitedly, trading jokes back and forth.

That the young master had once again permitted Su Momo to return was something neither he nor Old Master Shi had anticipated, yet they were completely powerless to stop it.

Accompanying Ye Zixuan to the yamen, she fetched the coroner and headed together to the mortuary to examine the corpse. This time, Ye Zixuan did not shut Shen Yunyou outside the door, but kept her by his side the entire time, letting her accompany him through the whole process of the autopsy.

Just as he sealed the open stance in front of his chest, under the immense pressure bearing down on his hands, he already felt the breath in his chest and abdomen collapse and get squeezed right out of his abdominal cavity.

"I never expected Brother Liu to come in person. Yuyue is eternally grateful," Du Yuyue repeatedly expressed his thanks, his earnest sentiments overflowing from his words.

Ever since they had met in the city of Xianyang in the Great Qin State, although Shen Feng had never spoken a single word to her, he had always harbored this distinct feeling.

"Nangong Han, what do you mean by this?" Seizing a moment when no one was around, Du Maning cornered Nangong Han in the restroom, practically gritting her teeth as she spit out those words.

Itachi remained silent. Naturally, in his heart, he did not agree with Pain's vision either, but he simply had no way to resist.

A shrill, piercing shriek from Granny Umbrella rang out, grating harshly on the ears. Following that, wisps of green smoke rose from her body, as if she had caught fire.

When they finally emerged from the vegetable market, Ji Lingxi was carrying a large black bag while Suxi carried a cleaned chicken and other items. They got into the car and drove away.
