Chapter 44: Chapter 44 (Second Update)

Yet what was bizarre was that under the suppression of various laws, the grey-robed figure showed not the slightest reaction. Rather than being utterly unafraid or excessively calm, it was more as if... he possessed no trace of vital breath at all.

Du Shijia found the two of them looking rather familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before. But her memories were like fine sand slipping through her fingers—fragmented and disjointed—and no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall who they actually were.

"Understood, though it remains to be seen whether Yu'er will get jealous or not..." Su Man said with a helpless sigh.

Lying on top of her, Bai Kai suddenly felt a sense of utter boredom. He draped himself over Shen Yunchu without moving for a long time, wondering how on earth he had ended up in bed with Shen Yunchu. Clearly, there was such a stunning beauty waiting for him at the xx nightclub tonight; how had he allowed himself to be seduced by Shen Yunchu?

Yet... Hibiscus was not particularly fond of being a soldier, nor was she passionate about striving in the military circles, nor was she born with the uncomplaining dedication to shoulder the responsibility of defending her country. If given the choice, she would rather wash dishes carefreed than be bothered with commanding thousands of troops and meticulously plotting strategies.

"Fine, a sister it is then!" Niu Dasha obediently yielded to Shen Yeqin's tyrannical might.

No sooner had she gotten into the carriage than Xia Ruixi burst into tears, throwing herself into Madam Xia's arms. If Xia Ruibei could strike first, why couldn't she?

Few people knew that he was actually the one who had issued the five-star magic pattern quest, because he wanted to avoid attracting too much public attention.

Today, however, she was exceptionally persistent, pressing down Zhu Zhongjun's shoulder with a smile. "You play at home," she said, "I'll be right back."

"It's fine, they didn't really hurt me, they just let me enjoy the scenery for quite a while." Cole scratched his head, his two dimples brimming with a shy and charming smile.

However, it was obvious that Liu Yanran was unwilling. Frowning slightly, she said, "I don't like sitting there. Push me to the other side instead—look, the first seat on the right-hand side, right over there where it's empty!" As she spoke, she pointed to a specific spot.

Zhou Liang suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. Only a sliver of the distant sun remained before it dipped below the horizon. He involuntarily straightened his torso, wanting to catch one last glimpse, but the sun continued its relentless descent. Glancing at the four towering figures surging around him, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. A trace of pale gold blood flowed down along his smile, staining his white Daoist robes crimson.

"Rest assured, I am not so easily killed. Go down in peace to assist your sister." Ye Jin patted her shoulder comfortingly, then swept his blade horizontally to block the grasping grip of those two giant hands.

Bai Zhu glanced at the ring on her finger and took a deep breath before stepping inside. Having come this far, she no longer had any retreat. Whether it was for the Bai family or for herself, taking this step was an absolute necessity.

"Destruction Dao!" Jin let out a soft cry and gave a light wave of his hand, causing his magical power to instantly condense into a faint black talisman.

The water dragon in the air seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, suddenly emitting a mournful cry before bursting into countless splashes of water that rained down upon the ground.

As soon as Qin Ting finished speaking, she heard a commotion behind her. Turning her head, she saw Feng Qianqian rappelling down a rope from the 24th floor, turning and vanishing into the veil of night.

On the other side, several middle-aged men in their fifties were gathered together chatting and laughing merrily, when suddenly they heard a burst of screams. Following that, the surrounding crowd surged forward, and they realized that something must have happened.

"Get out of here at once! This valley has been claimed by me for the next half-month, and I don't want to hear another word!" This ferocious dragon wore an arrogant and domineering expression, looking unlike an ordinary person.

"Alright, children, calm down. We still have a performance to do." At that moment, Kim Taeyeon spoke up. As the leader, although her heart was filled with anxiety at the moment, she still remembered her responsibilities.

In particular, there was a massive empire situated ten thousand miles away from the Great Tang, boasting a territory and population no less than that of the Great Tang. Li Shiming had already decided to personally arrange matters, determined to ensure this distinguished guest was treated with utmost hospitality.

Baili Mingyang lacked Dongfang Mo's restraint; the moment he caught sight of Yue Qingtian, he charged straight toward him.

The sky outside was gradually growing dark. After waiting for quite a while without seeing Chongxi return, she felt a lingering sense of apprehension.

According to modern terminology, the rice eaten by Soga no Yatsuko had only its hull removed, leaving behind a layer of the aleurone layer before reaching the stage of polished rice.

Zhao Feng let out a cold, mocking laugh, then said, "Four million!" He seemed to relish the feeling of relentlessly crushing his opponent. Every time he added such a massive sum, it gave him the sensation of utterly trampling the other person underfoot.

He told us that the energy here was extremely unstable, and neither its source nor its type could be measured. According to the analysis of several scientists, it probably far exceeded the boundaries of modern science.

Knowing full well that the man had a wife and a child, she still shamelessly engaged in the act of stealing someone else's husband.

He considered himself someone who had met eloquent people and never thought of himself as particularly slow-witted. Yet why was it that whenever he ran into this fellow, he turned into a silent wooden block? Why was he squeezed to the point where he couldn't utter a single word in response?
