Volume 1, Chapter 41: Shut Up!

Amidst the uproarious laughter, Third-Brother Zhou trembled, his back hunched and his body stooped. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the startled horses, he slipped into the nearby woods and fled desperately toward the mountains. He knew all too well that if he dared to remain in the village, Li Chen would surely come for him.

Who was Li Chen? He was a man capable of killing wild boars and leopards, a man who had dispatched the seven ruffians of the Wu family. If Li Chen decided to settle scores, he would be crushed ten times over. Moreover, with the entire village now firmly behind Li Chen, even if Li Chen were to kill him, everyone would simply turn a blind eye. He dared not stay a moment longer.

Jiang Su, meanwhile, was completely bewildered. While she could guess the reason for Gui Fang’s anger earlier, this time she was truly lost.

"I feel that finalizing the brand ambassador during our photo session was a bit rushed," said Lei Se. "I need to review the full footage of today’s auditions before making a final decision. Would the five of you mind heading back and waiting for our notification? We will inform you once a decision has been made."

About twenty miles from Huaxiong, in an open expanse, a thousand cavalrymen were resting, silently eating their dry rations, while their three commanding generals argued heatedly, their faces flushed with rage.

"What is the meaning of your shaking head and sighing? Is it possible that what you are looking for is not here?" Sun Zimiao watched Ling Hao from the side, her curiosity piqued. Seeing his reaction, she couldn't help but ask.

Yang Tian was overjoyed, but in his elation, he had forgotten that he still faced a massive hurdle: the existence of Qin Yun'er’s grandfather, Qin Tiannan.

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky instantly changed color, darkening with thick clouds. The previously sweltering heat turned chilly, and it was only after a long time that the world returned to its original state.

"Aren't you worried, President Zhong, that I might be here to harm you?" Ling Hao did not immediately reveal his purpose, instead posing an irrelevant question.

"This... this is actually a piece of silk imbued with spatial attributes!" Ling Hao sighed to himself.

As he finished speaking, the stone statue shone brilliantly, and an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from within.

The Drought Demon struggled to mobilize the power of the laws, absorbing the endless aura of disaster, and a terrifying speed of recovery manifested once again.

Golden Sand Bay is in Shenzhen. Like us, they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and Hakka there, so it would be a good place to retire.

The Great Qin legions dared not approach. Were it not for General Bai Qi presiding over the scene, they would have considered this a destructive demon, savage to the extreme. Only a ferocious commander like Bai Qi could keep it in check.

"Thank you, Young Master. Actually, the Master said the same thing before he passed, but ancestral teachings are hard to defy, so I cannot agree to your request."

"Does His Majesty know that you intend for them to be eliminated?" The Empress lifted her eyelids to glance at Zhao Minmin.

Fifteen minutes later, filming resumed, but Qiao Lishan’s state was still off. Although slightly better than before, it still failed to meet Da Guan’s requirements.

"Are you familiar with Huadong? Why did His Majesty ask you to follow me?" Zhao Le asked, puzzled.

Glances turned toward Ye Yan, gradually shifting to hold a trace of awe.

"What... what kind of person is Noble Lady Mo?" The Empress beckoned for Jin Yu to massage her temples.

The formidable heavy siege crossbows pushed forward, engulfing a thousand-meter radius of the city wall, and the ten thousand soldiers leaving the city were all wiped out.

I held my flashlight high to look down, and the light from outside the cave shot in, so piercing that one could hardly keep their eyes open.

Hearing Zhao Zhongyao’s words, the soldiers were left confused. They didn't understand what he meant by a "new scoring standard," as they had never heard of such a thing.

After the low gate opened, he handed over an invitation. The doorkeeper took one look and immediately became respectful. A grim-faced attendant led the two into a room, guided them through a winding corridor, and opened another door.

The invitation brought by the Internet Cafe Assembly was a standard one, stamped with the seal of the Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes team. With all procedures in order, the receptionist did not inquire much; after a brief exchange, she let him pass.

As it turned out, I walked to the door, but nothing happened. It was strange—I tried the door, and it wasn't even locked.

Ma Mingchuan’s nickname was "Ma the Scatterbrain," because ever since he joined the army, he had been a forgetful person who constantly lost things. That was how he earned the moniker.

In this way, players could see the appearance of the Black Flame Demon Blade but could not observe the weapon’s attributes. Qu Bo intended to keep these two special skills as a trump card, not yet ready to reveal too much.

I felt an instinctive resistance to the idea of killing. Even though I knew they were wicked cultists intent on bringing chaos to the world, the thought of acting as an agent of heaven felt overwhelming. It was a difficult path to take. If I took that first step, there would be no going back, and I feared I would not be able to stop myself in the end.

Ye Zi felt her body stiffen as if struck by lightning. Sensing Qin Yu’s passion, she soon wrapped her arms around Lin Haojie, reciprocating his embrace.

For thousands of years, the wise have always told the world that for an elderly person, it is enough to have no regrets.

With a dark face, Crocodile said hoarsely, his suppressed hiss sounding just like a real crocodile.

In fact, just as Wuchen had guessed, Hiiragi Kureto had indeed received news from Ichinose Guren about a mysterious figure with powerful supernatural abilities, which was why he had rushed over without a moment’s delay.

"It’s you?! Damn it, what is happening? How did this bastard appear?" Staring down at the face looking down at him from above, the heart of the King of Colorless nearly leapt from his chest.
