Wigg said to Bond, “Alright, Bond, here’s the bill; you just hold onto it. When you’re ready to leave, come find me to get these sacred stones back.” Bond took the bill from Wigg’s hand and said, “Then we will be leaving now.” “Farewell,” Chen Feng and the others said in turn.

Hearing Chick’s roar, the crowd below dared not say anything further. They quietly watched Chick above, waiting for his next words.

The Tenth Princess and the Third Princess, having grown up so differently, possessed distinct personalities, and her closeness to the emperor was unlike that of the others. Being lively, mischievous, and adorably innocent, she clung softly to the emperor’s hand, calling him “Father Emperor,” and the plump emperor’s rare fatherly love poured entirely upon her.

My chest heaved; I have no idea how many silver notes there were—just bundles after bundles brought inside—some worth a hundred taels, some ten, but nothing in the thousands or tens of thousands. At most, the chest held a little over ten thousand taels.

Seeing Locke’s state, everyone couldn’t help but retch. It was truly terrifying. They felt that having such a person alive was a disgrace to humanity. Perhaps for Locke, living in such torment was worse than death.

At this moment, Mistress Rong told her that Doctor Gan had arrived at the mansion some time ago and was chatting leisurely with her father in the parlor.

In this way, no matter what he chose, it would be a deeply humiliating matter. Compared to that, death was better; if he died suddenly, people wouldn’t have much to say.

She knew that Qin Yifei was not truly blind; it was merely a means to win Lan Xuewei’s hand.

This man couldn’t speak properly; one sentence offended nearly everyone in the room. The person who questioned earlier felt disappointed, realizing he was a simpleton who spoke bluntly without tact, so he turned away and stopped asking.

However, the Puppet Tower could absorb power directly from spirit stones to replenish its energy. This was what distinguished the Puppet Tower from the Chaos Furnace.

“Pfft!” Shang Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, infuriated by Bai Jin’s gloating expression. Then he pointed at Bai Jin, his face twisted in agony.

He did not believe that Su Qiong could wield such power without any cost. Yet unbeknownst to him, a miraculous transformation was occurring within Su Qiong’s body. It was this metamorphosis that preserved Su Qiong’s drifting consciousness from annihilation; also, because of it, he survived two punches without dying.

The White Deer Fairy insisted on accompanying him; the two crossed the jade-like spirit spring as before and appeared deep within the mist-woven land.

“Princess,” over there, Shao Qi had already received the news. Concerned that others might attend to her—something she was unaccustomed to—Xuanyuan Lang had Shao Qi remain nearby. Seeing Mu Qingge, Shao Qi was clearly very excited.

In the eyes of the Grand Sword Masters, only the promotion to the “Three Stars Sword Realm” marked the true beginning of swordsmanship. Their swords all bore names; mere swordsmen were not worthy.

“I knew you were sneaking a bite,” came a male voice suddenly, and the meat before me vanished instantly. Stunned, I turned around to see Li Yi carrying a tray.

“Manager Jiang, I’d sooner believe a sow could climb a tree than believe the Japanese hold such ideological awareness; otherwise, why would they be called Japanese—‘Sun’ people!” Ximen spoke in a cryptic, odd tone.

“Don’t be so quick to thank me. To obtain these, naturally, one must pay a price,” Song Zhenting glanced at Yu Niaoniao.

“That doctor just now—is he your friend?” I deliberately avoided answering his question, seeing Yue Heng’s eyes narrow, then look at me with a hint of grievance.

“Very well! Let us swear by the Heavenly Way and accept our fates,” he said, raising a finger to the sky, releasing a gleam of light.

Harry was puzzled, not knowing exactly what had happened this time. He stood up and followed his uncle out of the kitchen and into another room, where his uncle slammed the door loudly.

Yan Dantong’s room was on the second floor; Wen Zhifan also stayed there. Ni Leyi lodged in a guest room on the third floor. Tonight, with Wen Zhifan present, Ni Leyi neither returned to her room nor chatted with Aunt Liu, but went to find Wen Zhifan.

Jin Zhongren’s fury had evidently not yet been vented, but he listened obediently to Jin Zhong’s boasting and quieted down, no longer quarreling with Bian Baixian but returning and sitting heavily on the bench, burying his head between his knees.

Harry did not answer immediately. He looked at her excited, eager face, then stepped out of the tent into the surrounding darkness to contemplate.

“If I don’t take your phone away, will you not speak to me at all today?” Lan Jin asked, telling himself he was not jealous of the phone.

“Let me see your grades,” Qing Luo wanted to know; Wu Siqing pushed the door open halfway, wondering what score she would receive.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jinyi suddenly turned over and wrapped her arms around Wei Qingxiao’s neck, appearing as if they had fallen asleep embracing each other.

He could tell that Lan Ke’s background was unclear; she surely carried nothing valuable. What good could she possibly produce? That Shadow Stone just now was probably the most precious thing she had.

“Pass on my words: tell the remaining eight ghost gods to wash their necks; I will come to behead them,” Bai Yu said coldly.

The demon race had no magical treasures to use, but their robust physiques and martial arts tailored to their traits allowed them to contend with other cultivation sects. That the demon cultivators could hold their own in the cultivation world alongside demon practitioners and cultivators was testament to their uniqueness.

When Ning Xi’s gaze landed on the blue-robed Confucian man, her eyes flickered slightly. The white-robed Confucian man following closely was a familiar figure—Han Ming, with whom she had clashed at Wanku Mountain.

Yet just then, a figure rushed in at great speed and came before Yang Long’s corpse. He was the Grand Elder, Yang Long’s grandfather.

However, Xu Ke said he would give everyone an explanation, meaning that, no matter what, there must be a resolution to this matter. This caused reporters who had previously ignored the scandal to start seeking a big story.
