Chapter 33

She caught Auntie Gui’s chopsticks just as they were about to pick up a dumpling, and took the opportunity to spit the residue from her mouth into the trash can nearby.

Yue Qingli only needed a few glances to recognize the damage as being caused by millennial agarwood. Moreover, the injuries on Duan Mo’s body seemed to stem from more than just that—there were even traces of Shu Yicai’s techniques involved. Naturally, she would keep this secret for Jiang Banya; after all, he was her fiancé in name, and she couldn't very well bring harm upon him.

The squads dispatched one after another began to assemble, kneeling on one knee before Jiang Banya, who stood at the center with his foot planted on the head of the current emperor, Jiang Xian, to report their missions.

As he demonstrated the fist techniques, Sun Lutang stood frozen in place like a wooden statue, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing Jia Yanwen arrive travel-worn and brimming with unease, I invited her to sit, brewed tea to soothe her nerves, and waited patiently for her to calm down before listening to her story.

Why was he so adept at fawning over his master, yet when it came to his own mind, it was always a blank slate, unable to string together a single eloquent word?

Xing Hao’s movements had not escaped the eyes of Xu Sansheng and his two companions, but unfortunately, they were completely entangled by their opponents and had no way to rescue Xing Huatian.

Legend spoke of secret arts capable of transferring divine abilities to others, though the truth of it remained unknown, and the cost appeared to be immense.

Seeing that Zhou You’s consultations with several students had yielded almost immediate results, everyone recognized his expertise and began clamoring for him to examine them as well.

The American’s throat moved, and the man set down his butterfly knife. He performed a flourish before sliding the blade into his sleeve.

A blood-curdling scream rang out, and Qing Yu, who was packing her bags in the next room, covered her ears.

What had been her father’s reaction back then? It seemed he had happily remarked that "fights are affection and scoldings are love," and even leaned in to insist that her mother slap him a few more times.

Dong Ling sat down beside him, the faint scent of medicine radiating from him—it was very pleasant. It seemed to carry a subtle hint of pear blossoms amidst the typical medicinal aroma. She remembered riding on the same horse with him last time; that faint scent of pear blossoms had been just as intoxicating.

She was truly beautiful, and she looked so lovely in her wedding dress... yet, she no longer belonged to him.

I have always been curious why the two adventurers only gave the rice seeds to the savages and taught them the techniques for cultivation.

"Then it’s not too late for you to realize it now." Zhu Chenyi gripped her chin, his lips suddenly curling into a wicked smile as he leaned toward her.

"If it were that simple, then doctors wouldn't be of much use," Chu Yunqing sighed.

Dong Ling listened quietly from the side, wishing she could play the zither so she could perform a duet with Mu Chonghao. Her gaze fell upon Young Master Mu; he was truly elegant and refined. How could such a dashing young gentleman exist in this world?

The majestic imperial decree, every word carrying an irresistible authority, struck deeply into the hearts of all who heard it.

Suddenly looking back, she saw Jing Xin, who was speaking, reveal his stark white teeth, reflecting the light under the sun.

Uchiha Madara unleashed a sky-covering sea of flames with a single move, the torrential fire and rolling heat waves pressing down upon the gathered ninja.

"It’s nothing, I just felt as if someone had been watching me all this time," Luo Sisi said, describing the feeling of being pricked by a gaze.

"I heard he’s a marine. We met him at the floating restaurant before. At the time, he defeated Don Krieg, the great pirate who ruled the East Blue, with just one strike. Other than knowing his name is Li Yunxiao, I don't know anything else," Sanji chimed in, fawning over Nami as he vied to answer.

"I have no grudge against you, why must you hunt me down so ruthlessly?" Lotus was both furious and terrified.

But at that moment, who could clearly distinguish friend from foe, or gauge who was within a hundred meters?

The 'Champion Team' had made up their minds: they would ignore both the top and bottom lanes and focus entirely on the mid lane. Once they finished ganking the bottom, they would switch to the top, determined to make this Twisted Fate experience the feeling of a crushing defeat.

"We act for the Empire, and naturally, we share in its anxieties," Boken stepped forward and unveiled his face.

This was an illusion; Xuan Po shook her head vigorously, trying to shake the irrational thought from her mind.

Taking the stone used to steady the table leg and placing it on the table, Lin Yu crawled under the bed to pull out a storage box. She examined its contents one by one, but regrettably, there was not a shred of spiritual energy in any of them.

When Xiao Muchen returned to the palace, he knew full well what they were preparing for, even if he did not know exactly when the Heavenly Tomb would open.

Taice nodded and described the situation of Bra in her own world, focusing on her upbringing. The other Bra had always been a tag-along to Luo Fei; although she was nominally Luo Lan’s disciple, it was primarily Luo Fei who taught her.

In today’s memorial, Luo Ruxue stated that she was mentally exhausted from last night’s attack and felt quite terrified in the manor, hoping to go out for a while.

Ye Feng nodded with a bitter smile; she knew that although Zhan Niang’s nod seemed firm, the woman was already too terrified to speak.

Luo Zheng’s eyes widened as she clutched the lifeless Naye and lunged toward the pile of blood-drenched bodies, completely at a loss as to how to begin sorting through the tangled limbs.

"Found it. From here, further in, one can enter the depths of the Great Wilderness Ancient Territory. The Bodhi Ancient Tree is located there," Xun’er said softly, her slender, jade-like finger pointing to the north of the Ancient Territory platform.

As for the alliance leader, I suppose there won't be any, but if there were, I would add an extra chapter, or eleven chapters for an alliance leader.

If they could escape this time and bring enough gold ore home, they would never have to live such bitter lives again; they might even be able to build a house, rent some land, marry a beautiful bride, and live the life of their dreams.

Li Tielin considered their combined combat prowess and realized that "beating them to a pulp" wasn't a very practical solution. So, what could they do?

Weld nodded: "Yes, I hope you all understand." With that, he bowed politely to the group still dining to express his apologies.
