Volume 1, Chapter 22: Poisoned

After being poured into the pool this time, the bubble-eye goldfish did not retaliate as it had before. Instead, it leaped onto the bank, flopped twice, scrambled into the adjacent pool, and sank to the bottom, vanishing from sight.

Given Director Li Mu’s talent, and the box-office drawing power of Jackie Chan, Liu Yifei, Gong Li, and Zhang Yimou, these three films should at least rank among the top one hundred in global cinema history, right?

In the end, Director Lu Chuan simply organized a massive nationwide talent search for the role of "Consort Yu."

Sett kicked the ancient god-worshiper who had tried to stand up again after seeing his mother, pinning the man’s face firmly under his boot and grinding it into the dirt.

The person truly calling the shots in the State of Qin right now is not that young King of Qin, but Lü Buwei, who has held absolute power for over a decade; his control over the state exceeds what many could ever imagine.

After saying this, a tremendous aura erupted from Jiang Chen, dealing a heavy blow to all three of them simultaneously.

Li Nanzhi learned that Zhao Jin’er had met with an accident and arrived immediately. At this moment, she stood anxiously by the wooden bed, peering at her and offering silent prayers.

After walking four or five meters, he tilted his head and sniffed the air, then locked onto a direction and continued walking.

Whether it was the former city lord Yun Hongyi or the current one, Yan Letian, they were both extremely hospitable toward Flender; the treatment of a Spirit Saint-level powerhouse in a city is evident from this.

With everything settled and no more zombies requiring Liu Feng’s intervention, he returned to the vehicle with ease to play a shooting game.

At this life-and-death moment, his companions pulled his body back slightly, preventing the elite ink scorpion’s tail barb from hooking his head. It did, however, snag his chest, leaving a bloody, gaping wound.

Although there was no one else around, the nearby plains were filled with the scent of blood. Looking closely, the entire plain was stained red from being soaked in blood, with fragments of white bone scattered throughout.

In the afternoon, the ambulance arrived first, but Wang Quan had already passed away. Zhao Junliang and Wang Hui, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, ended up just taking the vehicle back.

"Hahaha! I thought it was something serious! I’ve finally cracked it—I really am a genius!" Mo Zhiqing strode toward his academy as if nothing had happened.

"I practice martial arts, so even when this snow falls, it doesn't accumulate. By the way, I’ll prepare some things for you to take back today. Mount Caixiang is cold; don't catch a cold coming and going," Zhang Jianwei said earnestly.

The fire demon held a massive fireball aloft with both hands and threw it directly toward the deity. The giant sphere of flame hurtled through the air, and the deity swung his right hand out with great force in response.

Who is Liu Feng? How could he be controlled by his own instincts? He fought hard to suppress the desire.

Although Bai Ce was not one to remember details well, and he felt that the buildings here all looked much the same, making it difficult to distinguish one from another.

Li Xuan saw at a glance that the two men’s cultivation levels were not profound, but to dare attempt such a robbery, they must have some reliance. Li Xuan could not be bothered to retort and slowly grew vigilant.

"This should have been a prosperous city, yet now you can barely see a single commoner. The Demonic Calamity is truly a disaster," Yu Hao sighed on the streets of Demon-Suppressing City.

Just as Zhou Yuan and the mercenary captain’s party walked into the courtyard, they felt a powerful wave of pressure.

Yu Congdong, Yu Yuan, and Yu You all wore expressions of extreme displeasure, their fists clenched tight. If it weren't for the fact that the old family head was injured and in seclusion, how would these two dare to be so presumptuous here, even if they were from the Qianyuan Sect?

Mr. Wei smiled and said, "It may be worth 85 million in your eyes, but to me, it is worth 200 million. Do you need me to be any clearer?"

Liu Chuanting, standing to the side, rolled his eyes at Chu Guocai. Ignoring him further, he followed Zhang Li and Zhao Yiyuan.

Mr. Wei continued drying her hair and said, "What are you thinking about? I simply wanted to dance with you. Can’t a husband and wife have any purity between them?"

After the meal, Gu Xiao took her downstairs for a walk—something they did often. Only this time, Gu Xiao led her to the car instead.

As the words fell, that thick, mast-like snake tail lashed out fiercely toward the six of them.

The crowd in the Lingxiao Palace felt as if their breath had stopped. They watched Qin Feng nervously; they didn't know much about him, and they harbored doubts about whether he was still as formidable as before.

Seeing that Tu Baobao had brought her candy, she wore a satisfied smile. Tu Baobao still had a conscience and hadn't forgotten about her.

"Brother, you really can’t blame me! I asked Grandpa, and he said you took people out for a hunt yesterday! I was just afraid of falling behind on training, so I took the troops out for a spin to practice the new recruits' courage! I really didn't go far!" The burly man looked frantic.

Bai Xinjue felt a bit strange. Since they parted ways at the Chunyang Sect, he hadn't seen Zhang Fan again, and he had been waiting for his arrival ever since he sent the invitation.

Tu Baobao had just swallowed a piece of biscuit when someone came to call her again. Having learned from the previous experience, she wasn't particularly rushed this time; she finished eating the biscuit, wiped her mouth, and then replied.

This time, Ellis just nodded faintly without speaking. He didn't seem like much of a talker.

Yuzhu felt a pang of heartache seeing Su Jin’s expression. She didn't know why Su Jin had been so happy when she first arrived, only to become listless a short while later. But Yuzhu was merely a maid and couldn't ask too much; she would wait until the young master arrived and tell him.

This was no longer a one-on-one challenge. With several Sky Warriors assisting, Dragon Fist didn't need to fear Xin Lu so much.

"Stop, stop, stop! You can't use these kinds of retaliation tactics!" Tong Guaiguai’s one hand was pinned, her other hand pushing against Dong Wei’s chest with effort as she shook her head violently, trying to dodge his kiss.
