Chapter 66: Gu Jinyan Said He Was Unhappy
However, her inability to control her emotions was her own affair, and others had no obligation to indulge her. Jiang Chenyu and Gu Jingyan were even less likely to stand by and let her bully Gu's mother.
Yet, before the two of them could even make a move, Gu's mother reached out and pulled them both back.
"If you judge a person like me based on my job, my husband, and my son, it won't hurt me at all. It will only make me feel that you are a pitiful person," Gu's mother said to Chen Ping calmly.
Chen Ping's words didn't even amount to a thousandth of the scheming displayed by the eldest and second aunts of the Gu family; she didn't even need to muster any emotional response.
With genuine intent, she advised, "I think you are under a lot of pressure. Won't you..."
Earlier, Han Bing had successfully used his words to provoke potential conflict between Zhu Mo and Zheng Yong.
Major factions were always more than happy to witness such situations, which was why the Heavenly Sword City branch office was also tasked with handling these scenarios.
With just a slight threat, this cunning yet cowardly wretch should obediently submit and act according to their intentions.
"I originally had no intention of killing you, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to eat you first!" the black dragon let out a resonant roar.
Ebony Maw, who viewed Sean as mere fish on the chopping board, had no idea that he was the actual fish, and Sean was the cleaver.
Looking at the hand extended toward him, Yang Tao did not overthink it. He directly reached out his right hand and shook the other man's hand.
The other senior deputy commanders all congratulated Luo Hao on securing the position of deputy commander, but Luo Hao merely returned the courtesy with a nod. He did not feel excessive joy; this role of deputy commander represented status and prestige, but it also carried a heavy responsibility.
Most people shared this sentiment. At this point, well over half of the current trial had passed, and the jade monolith continuously displayed the names of new materials. The moment a new material's name appeared, Chu Tian began his explanation without the slightest hesitation.
A deafening roar echoed across heaven and earth. At that very moment, hundreds of millions of living creatures were instantly deafened, countless mountains collapsed, ten thousand rivers reversed their flow, and even the waters of the four seas began to boil, sending towering waves tens of thousands of feet high crashing layer upon layer into the clouds.
Because Xiao Yechen and Zuo Yuyan had not been out for long, Xiao Yechen told her that they needed to move to another residence.
Gong Shangxie's handsome face remained expressionless, yet such physical contact stirred an indescribable sensation within him.
Lin Zaishan had already noticed a desk in the room and unceremoniously seated himself in the office chair, tinkering with the large computer screen on the desk.
Shu Lv's divine sense, which had enveloped the entire space, instantly converged and unceremoniously stabbed into the bat's brain.
Hadn't she already explained? Vampire fairies were still fairies! She simply couldn't comprehend this fellow's logical reasoning.
The residents of Tujia City inherited the ancient custom of sunrise-to-work and sunset-to-rest; nighttime was reserved for rest and entertainment. Lin Zaishan could no longer make unannounced visits as he had during the day.
With the superficial pleasantries concluded, Mu Xiaoxiao relaxed entirely, wrapped herself in the quilt, and fell asleep in less than five minutes.
"What on earth are you talking about? Don't fill your head with such nonsense. I was merely stepping in to help when I saw an injustice," Qi Kongming stammered, recovering from his surprise, and spoke at once.
"Hmph, you're the foolish one! You're the absolute idiot," Nalan Yanran let out a soft huff. How dare Gu Lingxian call her foolish; it seemed Gu Lingxian was once again in need of some "education."
The trace of her own soul that had originally adhered to Lu Shuangsheng was extracted, and it was now floating right before her eyes.
Chunyu Pipi took a look and was so infuriated she was left speechless. Yet, without throwing a tantrum, she simply snatched up a weapon in bitter resentment and turned to stride out.
Never had he imagined that this fellow would also ascend to the rank of Saint Emperor. Furthermore, his domain was terrifyingly powerful, leaving him willing to acknowledge defeat with genuine admiration.
After a barrage of arrow rain subsided, the newcomer casually stretched his ape-like arms and twisted his neck, producing a series of cracking joint sounds. Only then did the crowd observe his appearance.
Although navigating without illumination was impossible, Mo Liangyue still chose to extinguish the only two torches remaining. At this moment, the burning of the torches undoubtedly accelerated the consumption of oxygen, which was even more detrimental to their survival.
No one knew where he had gone, and when he finally reappeared, four full years had passed.
Ziyi possessed such formidable strength that fresh blood could be seen instantly welling from the corner of her mouth, a chilling sight to behold.
When Yingjun and the others alighted from the taxi and arrived at the seaside food stall, the plump owner was busy greeting customers. Catching sight of Yingjun holding Meng Hui's hand as they walked over, he immediately hurried forward to welcome them.
Yet at this moment, as Chen Mo quietly rose to prominence, it vaguely seemed as though the heavy layers of mist were parting to reveal clear skies and bright light.
By this time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's expression had improved considerably. Although he had sustained injuries, they were merely superficial flesh wounds. Just as Elder Liu was blocking Long Feiyun, the Emperor had already neutralized the poison within his body. Yet why hadn't he left yet? Could it be that he truly believed the loser would inevitably be Long Feiyun?
Elder Liu drew closer and closer to the shadows, yet the shadows remained pitch black, concealing the identity of whoever lurked within.
As the two terrifying figures clashed fiercely, the Master of the Evil God Temple charged forward in a fury. Within his palm, soul power surged like a vast ocean, transforming into a jade-green, crystalline soul halberd that tore through the void and slashed toward Long Aotian.
"It doesn't matter! The mechanism must be in this room somewhere, I'll go look for it!" Murong Xiu declared, leaping toward a stone statue of a demonic beast. She had long suspected this particular statue, though her Divine Eye Crystal was unable to pierce through stone.
Leng Feng collected his wits and remained silent. Having a girl like Avril forcibly take the initiative was something he had already experienced numerous times before.
"If I didn't have this face, would you still like me?" Xiao Jing asked as if pressing the point, a pair of dark eyes flashing with complex emotions.
"What clothes are you wearing today?" Jinlan suddenly posed a question completely unrelated to anything previously discussed.
Since he had already stated his plan, Han Qi would certainly wait for him to confess; she herself definitely wouldn't take the initiative.
Fortunately, everyone present consisted of high-level evolvers. With a wave of their hands, massive amounts of dirt and sand were scooped up and tossed backward, after which martial practitioners at the Qi Refining evolutionary stage volunteered as manual laborers to haul it away, preventing the passage from becoming blocked.
Over the span of seven years, the land had fallen into desolation, and Uruk had been reduced to ruins. Only a few temples remained standing, and only those people hiding within the sanctuary of the temples managed to scrape together a meager existence.
Contenders continuously surged onto the highlands. What piqued Jinshi's curiosity was that there were at least a dozen teams standing by in the designated waiting area, with even more individuals stepping forward to join them.
