Chapter 215: 209 A Sudden Wind (5k)
Yu Xing didn't take his rejection of Shen Nanpeng to heart, nor did he inform Bi Sheng of his plan to merge Letao. om with Vipshop.
Although he had truly helped Bi Sheng this time, Letao. om's direction still rested with Bi Sheng—it was his own hard-earned money poured into it.
But on December 24th, Bi Sheng did call Yu Xing and briefly mentioned the matter.
"Sequoia wants to buy Letao. om, willing to pay the original amount I put in."
Then came wild elation, and he immediately assembled people to discuss policies targeting Yizhi Temple and potential changes in the medical environment… At the same time, an order was sent to Qi Dongsheng's desk.
That garden was second only to the Qiao family's main compound—this girl was at least sensible enough.
Society moved quietly, steadily, and he was like a grain of sand fallen into the crack between two worlds, unnoticed as a unique point leapt free of its parallel line.
Hadn't he once thought, as long as Bing'er liked him, that was enough? Why now did he care whether it was pity or true affection? Shangguan Fei felt contradictory himself, yet he simply couldn't cross this inner threshold—a current like air pressed against his chest, refusing to dissipate.
A massive, heavy heartbeat echoed constantly from the depths of the Kegumo world, suggesting that the Kegumo world itself might be a colossal living entity named Kegumo.
The sheep's head was charred yellow, its tongue stretched out long, both eyeballs bulging—utterly horrifying. Xiao Yingying felt only disgust. She couldn't fathom why Xiao Yang had served such a revolting dish to Shangguan Yun.
Dozens of beer bottles and glasses were hurled at the still-dazed Heishe Society members, shattering like raindrops in a chorus of crisp cracks; beside Wang Haoxue stood the four delinquent boys who had sneaked out of the hot spring inn together.
The two shouting men suddenly froze, mouths agape, as each had a giant hand clamped around his throat, draining all strength, while an instant of pressure crushed their hearts so tightly they nearly stopped beating.
Xiao Jian turned, his strikes unrelenting—three swift slashes aimed at Shangguan Yun's eyes, chest, and ribs. Shangguan Yun barely dodged. Xiao Jian's three thrusts missed, and seeing Shangguan Yun clutching a black treasure sword, he flew into a rage. Though furious, he kept his composure, steadied his spirit, and swung one final slash at Shangguan Yun's head.
The three studied the incantation on the paper, reviewing it repeatedly, and finally confirmed it was flawless.
No matter what motive the boss had for producing these three rough stones, his goal was simple: acquire the all-or-nothing stone without paying too much. So he asked Liu Boss: "Liu Boss, just how much are these three rough stones worth?"
The Four Immortal Lords trembled violently—they suddenly realized their divine altars were destabilizing, on the verge of shattering.
Everyone was stunned. Was this man telling the truth? But the True Word Lasso ensured his words could not be false.
Three exceptionally handsome young men, all under twenty. The leader's eyes gleamed like cold stars, his lips red, teeth white, face flawless as polished jade.
Yet finally, after waiting so long, the clouds parted and the moon appeared—this stubborn log had finally confessed his feelings to her.
Yuan Ying and Diana chuckled at Steve, seeing him gasping for breath; Yuan Ying then cast a magical shield around him.
Suddenly, she felt an unusual quietness and lifted her head. "Pū"—she couldn't help laughing. Filled with happiness, she tilted upward and gently kissed the sleeping Lin's lips.
Over these two days coming and going from the competition venue, she'd ended up meeting Xermi! During that time, Hu Chengpeng even took Xermi out to dinner—a sort of private date.
The MV filmed afterward swept across South Korea and was adored by countless domestic fans, truly propelling Lei Jing into the ranks of top-tier superstars.
These three were once formidable True Gods—now all fallen… Clearly, the Path of Divinity is arduous.
Only this blunt, unadorned, technique-free clash could accurately test just how strong his combat power truly was.
"Exactly! What if a thief stabs you with a knife! How can you risk your precious life for some lousy wallet! That's playing with your life!" Another girl looked tenderly at the young man, yet her words were sharp with fury.
What kind of event could it be? He dared not even imagine it, had no time to think—because at that very moment, a blade of light flashed toward him like lightning.
But we never expected all the rebels within the secret realms were suicide warriors, capable of triggering the realms' explosions.
A furious wind rushed into the cave, carrying the terrifying power of lightning outside; ordinary objects and shattered stones within exploded with crackling pops.
It wasn't shame he feared, but that if Xia Feng did that, there would be no trace of connection left between them.
He instantly turned his back, yet the observer burst into a "pūchī" laugh—her laughter was surprisingly sweet.
Clearly, he still hadn't forgotten Xia Feng's earlier scheme to sabotage him and Jia Huo.
Hua Jiu couldn't defeat Sun Xing—he was half-Foundation Establishment, possessed a magic treasure, was clever, and there were likely many more of his men lurking nearby.
Tong Xia'er listened, recalled carefully—she'd never heard of Wen Haitraining having such an old friend before; this man seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Xiao Chenjiu's unprepared heart plunged into panic; his earlier joy upon returning felt doused with icy water, numbing his scalp.
I've mustered my already scarce brain cells to face this challenge—come on, fire away.
Li Tian and Su Cen were settling Su Qiming when they stepped out and encountered a vibrant young man. The youth looked down at Li Tian with disdain, his eyes brimming with rivalry.
"It's not us deciding your fate—begging us won't help. Better to honestly tell us everything you know; perhaps we can try to help you." Zhang Yi gently traced the rim of his cup, watching Wang Er's head with calm amusement.
