Volume 1, Chapter 48: Still Holding Jiang Chenyu's Weakness

Not only did he fail to grasp Jiang Chenyu's subtext, but he even praised her as if it were a compliment, exclaiming, "Sister-in-law, don't you worry! Whatever you handle, I'm completely at ease with!"

Jiang Chenyu pressed her lips together, too lazy to waste any more breath on this person.

All of his meticulousness was entirely reserved for Li Wen, while as for things like a raise...

That simply did not exist.

After taking a bellyful of frustration from her second boss, she numbly hurried over to the home of her first boss.

The moment she caught sight of Gu Jinyan, a wave of grievance overwhelmed her to the point of tears. "Boss, I will never call you a lonely single dog again. You are simply the best boss in the entire world."

Gu Jinyan: "..."

Without even needing to guess, he could easily imagine Jiang Chenyu's time spent outside...

However, Ye Fan happened to be an exception. Because the Buddhist relic had been subtly transforming his body all along, his meridians and bones had been reshaped numerous times. Naturally, his skull was also much harder than that of a normal person.

Right at that moment, an anomaly appeared in the sky. Some of the officers and soldiers undergoing training caught sight of it, but none paid much attention. Such occurrences happened every day, and they had never heard of anyone being harmed by them. Since there were no casualties, naturally there was no need to dwell on it.

"Brother, you're awake! That's wonderful! Are you all right? Sob, sob..." Liu Shuya instead cried even harder, clearly an expression of joy born from relief after fear.

It seemed that Master Hei's method was indeed effective. It was just that she hadn't thought of it at all beforehand. Of course, it was also possible that she couldn't let go of her pride, having been accustomed to always holding a superior attitude.

"It's not like I didn't look! A lot of the doctors have closed their doors; everyone is terrified of catching the plague," Dazhuang explained anxiously, terrified that the others might think he hadn't taken the matter seriously at heart.

Madam Wang's chest heaved with anger, trembling continuously. To spend so much money to marry a bringer of bad luck into the family—she must have gone mad! Without even drawing water anymore, she picked up her empty buckets and headed home.

"Haha, not at all, not at all. Brother Ye Fan, you flatter me. I am unfamiliar with the secular world, so I will still need to rely on your guidance in the future." Lu Shan's attitude toward Ye Fan also underwent a hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

Baili Changqi, who had previously appeared the most refined in temperament, nonchalantly extended a finger and lightly flicked the tabletop. Astral source energy condensed into a stream of air, blasting all the water droplets that had just been sprayed out onto the floor, before instantly resuming a calm and collected expression, with his eyes fixed on his nose and his heart focused on his inner self.

As for battle forces like Xiang Mang, Fatty Bai, and the mechanical cyclops, Li Hanqiang placed them all firmly on the ground.

Although things were much better this way, Yu Xian's innate temperament simply could not be completely concealed. Wherever she went, people would still cast a few glances before looking away, though it was an improvement over before.

Grandmaster-level veterans like Feng Kuschan, who had been stuck at this bottleneck for decades, would undoubtedly turn green with envy, beating their chests and stamping their feet to the point of suffering a deviation in their cultivation qi if they ever learned of such an outrageously shameless training shortcut.

However, during the middle and late stages of the Second Warring States period, as more and more immortal and demonic realms manifested across the Divine Land, martial artists finally discovered that breakthroughs under different environments had varying impacts on the physical body.

Li Pu waited downstairs for a full ten minutes or so before the three of them came down carrying their bedding. Only, Lin Kexin and Qin Xia'er had both changed into clean clothes and had wiped down their bodies using warm water from the thermos flask. Lin Kexin in particular wore an expression of "I've come back to life" joy glowing across her round face.

Inside the divine city, the white-robed Yaoguang stood quietly, gazing into the distance. Ten days remained before he would step into the Supreme Realm; as for Zhiming, whether he would come or not depended entirely on his own choice.

The immense force sent the nightmare snake rolling over several times on the ground before it could barely manage to steady its footing. When it raised its head in a disheveled state, its expression was even distorted, which gave a clear indication of the fury burning in its heart.

The starting price for the ten Hundred-Mechanism Thunders was a mere thirty jade coins. Perhaps because such items saw very little practical use, the price only rose to forty-five jade coins before Bai Ya successfully claimed them.

Ye Zixu appeared rather awkward, her mind repeatedly conjuring the image of being held tightly in Zhou Feng's arms. Although she felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, once again she owed her thanks entirely to Zhou Feng. Not only had he helped her shake off Chen Linzhi's harassment, but he had also saved her grandmother's life. Reason and emotion alike dictated that offering gratitude was the only appropriate course of action.

Yet inside this cutting-edge research facility located in Greenland, she, who currently appeared somewhat drowsy and dazed, was universally acknowledged as the most brilliant intern researcher of the past several years.

"That's just because your standards are too high. If you don't believe me, go out onto the street right now and shout that you want to get married, I guarantee someone will say yes," Ning Chen retorted mercilessly.

"Senior Brother Hu, my Uncle Liu is right. This demon core should rightly be considered the property of Senior Grand Uncle. If you wish to take it away, you'd better wait until Senior Grand Uncle returns," Dai Ying said in a deep voice.

"My purpose in coming here this time is not to visit an old friend, but to make a special trip specifically for this place," Xingchenzi said.

This precisely demonstrated where Lu Wu's thoughtfulness lay. Sometimes, people easily noticed whether there were other predators around their intended prey and whether those predators would pose a threat to them, while often easily overlooking whether the seemingly harmless prey itself might actually be a trap.

Meanwhile, Chu Lü, who had been pursuing Bai Yueran, merely stood frozen as he stared blankly at the scene unfolding before his eyes.

Fu Xiaoya's master bore the surname Qin and the given name Boyang, holding the esteemed position of Grand Elder of the Qixuan Sect. Because the sect only recognized recommendation tokens when accepting disciples, no distinction was made between inner and outer sects. In other words, Qin Boyang was effectively the second-in-command of the sect, with a group of ruthless individuals under his command who supported him. Having made up his decision, he gathered three or five experts of the Zhenyuan realm and quietly moved to slaughter the Yaoxian Quechen.

"Not good, Tu Kafeng's situation is becoming increasingly perilous, pushing closer and closer to her limit." Lu Yu's heart rose anxiously as well.

Immediately afterward, Lu Yu channeled another stream of true qi into it, shifting his thoughts—and the golden sphere actually moved in accordance with his will.

However, while physical action was spared, punishment remained mandatory. The penalty Wang Chen assigned was to continue fishing. Of course, it was impossible for him to let them fish indefinitely; once roughly by noon everyone in the class had caught their fish and the quantities were sufficient, he called it a day.

They waited another two days, but Han Zihe still did not emerge. Only then did Feng and the others organize a search party to enter the mountains. Yet on the fifth day after they entered the mountains, Han Zihe walked out of the deep mountains all by himself.

As the poem goes: Ascending the sun to tyrannize the body and torment the carefree, swords pointing toward Qingchen while blood flows and screams pierce the air; revealing a towering edge to battle the boundless, shattering the void to shake the Heavenly Pivot.

The light from the balcony illuminated Jun Jinyan's refined and elegant profile, half in brightness and half in shadow, carrying a bizarre and alluring charm. Yet within his eyes, which were as pure and clear as white lotuses, there lay an expanse of absolute darkness.

The earlier ingredients were all medicinal herbs required for formulating the Youth-Preserving Pill. By the time it came to this cauldron, he began adding various extraneous herbs that were utterly inconsequential yet harmless to the medicinal efficacy.
