Volume One, Chapter 27: Kidnapped

Hearing this, Liying hurriedly released Yu Tianhen’s hand and offered assurances, terrified that he might truly ignore her, for this was the first time she had ever seen him wear such an expression.

Ichiro raised his glass, and the five glasses clinked together, splashing a hint of light. They then began their dinner. It was not a grand affair, but under the warm yellow glow of the lights, it was cozy and delicious.

At this moment, while secretly admiring Ouyang Yu, Ding Peipei also took the opportunity to look down on Yu Tianhen. She became even more convinced of her earlier suspicion; she had seen many people who could fake their attire, but one’s inherent temperament could not be disguised. Ouyang Yu was clearly a man of great wealth.

After the second transition, every player would receive an initial combat power of 5,000. Each arena match won would increase this value by several dozen to a hundred points, while a loss would result in a corresponding deduction.

"The tactical guidance has already provided detailed annotations for this combat footage. How about we upload it to the Korean server?" Lin Han sent an emoji of loud laughter, a stark contrast to his usual stern and humorless demeanor.

The seawater, churned by a violent gale, swept up the round stones from the seabed. The currents and the aura were so intense that no sea beast dared to approach within a hundred miles, yet a sudden, high-pitched shout drew everyone’s attention.

Hearing the sound, Mo Wen did not hesitate to channel a wisp of his magic power into it. Instantly, the hand holding the ice bead and his entire arm were covered in bone-chilling frost.

Chu Xunyu raised a finger to his lips. "Did you hear that strange noise?" As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent to listen carefully. They seemed to hear nothing, but Chu Xunyu’s instincts were never wrong.

The church taught that one should never listen to the honeyed words of a demon; demons were inherently evil, designed to lead souls astray, and should be destroyed on sight.

Just then, several dark figures emerged from behind a hillside in front of them. They were men dressed in black, sneering as they walked toward You Xiao, clearly harboring ill intentions.

I paid no mind to what was behind me, focusing only on calming my heart. If I could not face these events with composure, I might not survive them. Regardless of what had happened or whether I could understand what was unfolding, I had to maintain my sanity.

"On the surface, it looks exactly as we saw before, but look at that door," Huang Jun said, pointing toward the door they had just entered.

Perhaps there was never any love between them to begin with; now, it was merely a matter of duty.

"No, no, we are observing the traditional third-day bride’s return visit today, why would we go to a place like that? I am already a taken man; I wouldn't dream of going to such a place," Jing Yan said, putting on the act of a virtuous man.

Though puzzled, Lianxin walked inside. This was a hospital, and she guessed that perhaps after she had plunged off the cliff in her previous life, she had been rescued. Her body—or rather, her corpse—must still be kept here, which was why she had dreamt of this place.

"Are you sure you want to know? I feel that you might not actually want the answer," Huang Jun said with a bitter smile. In truth, he was hesitant about whether to reveal his discovery to Lei Jun. But if he did, could Lei Jun truly bear it? Perhaps this was exactly why those who had reached the third floor had been frightened to death.

Leading the group was Zhu Lindong, supported by a fat man with a thick gold chain around his neck, as they strode toward Xu Qingmo.

Du Jun asked with irritation, "You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask? It’s just too strange. We clearly saw Ye Mei leave; she was kicked out by Mr. Huang. When did she return to that room, and how did she hide inside the mirror?"

However, it was rare for someone to offer resources, and Lixang was pleased. She maintained an attitude toward the Heart-Joy Demon King that was neither acceptance nor refusal. She had expected the Starry Night Palace to give up after a time or two, but to her surprise, it continued, and Lixang was more than happy to let it be.

He was truly handsome; Tuoba Zun was not bad-looking himself, but compared to him, he simply paled in comparison.

Perhaps because Lu Bu in history was known for a lack of strategic depth, the boss’s aggro mechanism before them was not overly complex: he simply chased after whoever dealt the most damage.

Bing Bei had only recently broken through to the level of a Myriad Phenomenon Master, so in front of Lixang, who was nearly at the pinnacle of that same level, the gap was vast.

Sitting in the car and reflecting on all this, she finally blinked, and two bean-sized tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Lin Zifeng, don't think I don't know that you’ve regained your military status. But as long as I, Jiang Rulong, am here, you will never reclaim the title of King of the North Dragon. The King of the North Dragon will always be me, Jiang Rulong!" Jiang Rulong roared like a madman.

Upon seeing Xia Yuan, Gu Yiling wiped away her tears in a flurry. Just as she was about to explain, her shoulder was pulled into a firm embrace by Xuanyuan Chengxin.

Lin Zifeng and Zhang Yi had just reached the door when it was suddenly pushed open, and two enchanting figures walked in.

The market was divided into a livestock section and a goods section. As Ye Jinyan walked forward, observing the livestock by the roadside, she noticed they all had heavy chains around their necks, flicking their tails listlessly.
