Chapter 856: Spike Zhou Has a Heart of Gold

For the domestic entertainment industry, the start of 2005 was bound to be lively.

First, Zhou Yi clashed repeatedly with intellectual figures in the public sphere, dominating front pages of major print media;

then came the scandal of Jay Chou and Hou Peicen’s incident in Tokyo’s Daikanyama, with rumors of the man’s infidelity and the woman as the other woman echoing endlessly; the other party in the double-J relationship, Cai Yilin, merely played the ostrich, occasionally forcing a few loud laughs and generously offering blessings, reaping a flood of public sympathy.

As this was unfolding,

when Shen Tingyun handed over the card, she still saw deep contempt in Yao Li Army’s eyes, but she didn’t care—fifty thousand for a bit of contempt was worth it.

The drumbeats and horn blasts continued unceasingly; Ling Shuang knew these were meant to spur the soldiers on.

Compared to official glory at court, would he truly prefer the clean reputation of the martial world?

It seemed he no longer needed to exert much effort on the General’s Mansion—once he captured Ye Ling, he would effectively control the entire mansion.

“I’m not leaving—let me go! How the hell was I supposed to know who you are? I’ve never seen you before!” Li Long broke down.

Zhou Tongmao stopped there, knowing that by this point, most people would understand exactly what was going on.

As long as he prepared in advance, he would make Yu Haoran understand what self-destruction truly meant.

The jade token is a single-use item, equivalent in meaning to a manuscript, but with superior preservation.

Su Yuxu intensified the heat; the water in the barrel still boiled, and under the catalytic effect of the spiritual liquid, the outer skin of the Su Yuan fruit began to peel away, revealing the flesh within.

Vingal merely nodded symbolically, then the two approached the Thousand Son before them.

Before arriving at Pinghe Courtyard, she straightened her attire and assumed a composed demeanor before sending the maid to summon the matron for announcement.

These autonomous vehicles, once authorized, require only the driver to handle turns.

If this were any other character in the game, Xiluo might not have hesitated at all—she would have dismissed it outright.

Yet Chen You’s assault and speed were so fierce that, in the hands of a martial equipment master lacking sufficient bodily strength, the heavenly Starlight Needle could only manifest half its power—predicting movements.

Ye Fei swallowed hard, then slowly turned around and saw the black-clad man taking a sip from his wine gourd, not even glancing at him.

Only when he stood to leave did he realize night had fallen; his room held only flickering candlelight.

“One thousand?!” This piece of intelligence was unknown to Chen Xing, but he could easily verify it through his own channels after the conversation—there was no reason for the other side to lie about this.

The section of the wall under surprise attack was saturated by the ferocious firepower of three Iron Guards; the bullet impact zones erupted in dust and debris, leaving almost no living thing able to penetrate the kill zone.

Liu Erlong was also outraged by the plight of the Shilai Academy and immediately decided to rename Lanba Academy as the Shilai Academy, keeping Flandre as its headmaster.

Though its appearance resembled a deer, Yun Ge would hardly be unaware of the vast difference between a qilin and a deer?

“Most of the people left at the stronghold are like me—can you spare them?” the timid bandit said.

Was it his fault for being too charming—that Shi Qianqian loved him so intensely she’d rather destroy him than let him go?

A few seconds later, Mu Bai’s Thunder Absorption Sword descended straight down, cleaving the entire willow demon in two, then uprooting it entirely; only after confirming through his duplication ability that the willow demon was dead beyond any doubt did he finally exhale.

Mu Bai nodded—his guess was correct; this secret realm was no ordinary place. The Blue Star side might soon be plunged into a two-world war with another realm—he wondered how strong that other world might be.

Meng Yunxun stared blankly at Meng Yaoge’s back, as if a hollow had been torn from her heart. Yu Qian was right—when we were still siblings, I had already fallen for you, but I always thought it was merely sibling affection.
