Chapter 117: Ambush! My Lady, Your Servant Has Missed You So Much! (6K)
Lin Bai's first action was to calculate how much time he had left—he needed to know how long he could still live.
Yuan Qiuhua attended news reporting training programs organized by various publications and writing workshops hosted by multiple universities. Time was her most precious resource; she treated one day as two.
She stood tall and proud, her steps steady and powerful, clad in a white long robe, her left hand clasped behind her back.
She wore a brand-new lake-green dress, her hair combed flawlessly, with a shimmering green hairpin embedded in her bun—clearly of superior jade, its luster exceptional.
She naturally noticed the odd tone in Qing Ming's voice, and it was already so late; normally, no one would disturb their rest at this hour unless it was an urgent matter.
Suddenly, in the struggle, a police officer, in desperation, used his equipment and struck the ringleader, leaving him bleeding from the head.
Zhang Chengye had ambition and ability; after graduation, he directly applied to Huayu Media Company, aiming to become a director.
The psychic ability test is mandated on a child's third birthday. On that day, regardless of wealth or poverty, all must go to the designated altar for the test. Many will gather to witness the child's innate talent value, which could drastically alter their family's fate.
"Demons and monsters… they're the three races!" Bai Lan narrowed her eyes; though human, immortal, and buddha are also three races, human cultivators are still weaker than demons and monsters.
The main issue is Chen Qi's vocal technique is still lacking—many emotional nuances aren't conveyed properly, at least to her ears; but for Bai Yuan, each recording felt sufficient to him, though it still fell short of Su Yue's pursuit of perfection.
With no other option, Park Ji-yeon turned to Xu Chenjun, who was sitting beside her—she simply couldn't handle these two "heartless" older sisters and had no choice but to appeal to the one before her.
"OPPA~~~ Do you want to know what Yoon-ah and the others said about you before they left?" Xu Xian suddenly grinned slyly; Xu Chenjun immediately sensed trouble the moment he saw her expression.
As Tai Shi Kun finished speaking, someone interjected: "I shall accompany the Master of Breeding!" Everyone turned—the speaker was Wu Bai.
Xiao Li, who had resolved not to thank Qin Yuan, unwittingly said "thank you" to him at the very end.
Some ministers suggested a citywide manhunt to capture those spreading rumors, but Zhao Pu refused. Rumors grow stronger the more they're suppressed; yet leaving them unchecked seemed unacceptable. He needed to strike back, Zhao Pu mused.
"Exactly! Next time, we shouldn't have brought so many people! Hahaha!" Nie Tianming laughed heartily.
Just as Zhang Suo was on the verge of despair, a long spear thrust forward—*puch! *—as if piercing tofu, it pierced the Jin soldier's chest, blood dripping steadily to the ground.
Leng Tong, a late Immortal Lord, unleashed a full-force strike that instantly sent the young city lord flying hundreds of meters, spitting blood.
After arriving at the mansion, he was stunned by the massive metal-and-stone structure and forgot that Tony had another super butler—JARVIS.
On the other side, following the elders' orders, a young man began instructing other Shadow Organization members to collect the instruments on the ground and closely follow the elders.
Elder Diyu launched the first attack; of course, in this battle, Elder Diyu lost his beloved disciple—if not for Shui Yu's interference, Diyu would have charged forward during the duel.
"Father, what you say makes sense, but I won't give them another copper coin!" the young man snapped impatiently.
The spiritual energy in his qi sea had transformed into magic power—his strength increased more than tenfold, and most importantly, he could now cast spells.
She hadn't expected Shi Jinguo to flee the courthouse outright to avoid punishment, and the constables hadn't caught him. She hadn't expected that Shi Jinguo, having run away, would now ambush her here.
Passing through the path cleared by the crowd, Lin Meng ascended to the second floor—the Gufu School's second floor was reserved for instructors' private use, rarely visited by others.
Seeing the grimy Bai Yu wine bottle and the old man's golden-yellow teeth, the young man nearly spat out bile and quickly waved his hand: "I said I gave it to you—I gave it to you. There's no taking it back."
Han Xue had only one month. If he chose to cultivate and advance to the late Qi Transformation Realm before killing the Red-Plated Earth Dragon, he wouldn't have enough time—so he had no choice but to risk fighting the beast at the Mid-Realm of Qi Transformation.
The three headed toward the banquet; after matters were settled, the banquet proceeded smoothly, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and departed satisfied.
By then, travel to the Demon Wolf Clan or the Demon Ox Clan would take only a week.
Li Xiang's work was closest to Duan Lang, so Yue Lingshan and He Bixiang dared not slack off for a moment—they watched and monitored Li Xiang relentlessly, guarding every inch, forbidding any further physical intimacy between them.
As a subordinate, Duan Muyang had to obey Gu Jianghai. As a brother, Duan Muyang privately didn't want Gu Jianghai to become a killing machine.
He could only watch that back from afar, his gaze slowly deepening.
Upon arriving, Lin Yi knew Wang Liguo's words were true—he had already sensed the reincarnation aura within this forest. Though aware of the dangers of the Demon Forest, the reincarnation path within it stirred Lin Yi's battle spirit.
The arrogant young man stared at Dan Tai Jingyue's back, his eyes glowing with eerie, malevolent light.
"What… what is this?" The thought had barely crossed her mind when a sensation, unbearably familiar, flooded her entire body.
Fortunately, Xiang Tianyang intervened in time, catching the opponent and shielding him from the terrifying energy attack.
Elder Yuan Gang spoke; the other elders around him stepped aside, no longer paying attention to Long Yang.
Xie Yuting had heard the tale of the Massacre Demon, Lie Leng; now her face was pale, her eyes filled with terror as she stared at Lie Leng.
The Dao Emperor's confident, domineering blade aura was entirely intercepted and shattered into energy particles by the Thunder Blade.
Their conversation ended abruptly; they didn't speak again until after the movie ended, when they shared a barbecue before returning to the villa to rest.
