Chapter 44: The Seven-Tailed Fox

Wu Ping'an repeated it once more.

Madam Qin finally recovered her composure.

She glanced backward, but failed to see any familiar figure.

Only then did she turn her gaze back to Wu Ping'an.

"Child, what is your name? Is your mother hiding because she doesn't dare to see me?"

All of them instinctively ignored the handcart behind him.

They apparently assumed it was merely an excuse for the two to enter the Qin residence.

Wu Ping'an answered obediently, "My name is Wu Ping'an, my mother..."

While the Star Angel was casting her freezing spell, Alpha was by no means idle: with a single punch, two or three went down, cutting a swathe through the crowd; with a single kick, two or three fell, sweeping away a vast expanse at once.

In the future, Shen Ming would undoubtedly have plenty of opportunities to star in films and television dramas, and by then, giving Fan Bingbing a helping hand would be no difficult task at all.

The pain in her arm accompanied her agonizing gasps, and regret washed over him like a raging sea.

If the Xuanmu Island army headed for the East Sea, then the Buddhist sect would send forth all its elite disciples to stir up wind and rain in Zhuxian Town; if the Xuanmu Island army ignored the East Sea and marched directly upon Zhuxian Town, the Buddhist sect could likewise make a leisurely retreat.

The demon kings had once all converged upon Lion Roar Mountain, yet now only five demon kings could come. Although it was the New Year, it felt as though boundless months had passed by.

Only then did Bai Moge truly understand the real reason behind his father's unwavering caution day after day, fearing nothing less than falling into the traps of arrogance, conceit, and blindness that plagued countless monarchs.

This mountain was Mount Yujing, the very first towering peak between heaven and earth. Mount Yujing was the mountain range closest to Pangu's creation of the world, as well as the earliest to emerge. Upon this mountain, the dual qi swirled in harmony, covering and supporting all existence, with yin and yang perfectly balanced, free from scorching heat or bitter cold.

Compared to the Dark Dragon's explanation, the four great imperial magical beasts of wind, water, lightning, and fire were more inclined to believe the words of the offensive imperial magical beast: why did their clansmen come under attack precisely when the Dark Dragon came to challenge them? Could there be any other explanation besides its desire to distract them during battle?

Without the slightest hesitation, the two drew their swords simultaneously, pouring almost the very last dregs of their magical power into that single strike as they began to charge forward. Their blades flashed forth in unison at the exact same speed, ultimately clashing violently in mid-air.

"I wouldn't dare disobey. Rest assured. Just call upon me when the time comes!" Chen Hu said with a smile, patting Daya on the back.

Ye Ming was startled once again by her delicately shrill, booming voice. He somewhat awkwardly extended his right hand to shake hers, feeling as though he were grasping a lump of soft, warm lard—rather greasy to the touch.

"Sandwiches!" A wave of churning nausea rose within Kim Ha-ju's stomach. Having eaten far too many sandwiches, she had developed an aversion to them, and the mere sight of one made her entire body feel uncomfortable.

However, this was, after all, not a problem that could be resolved simply by the saying, "Take a step back and the ocean and sky will open up." Bozhou was convinced that the moment she took a single step back, Guy would undoubtedly advance a step further.

"Why has it slowed down?" Finding that the vehicle's speed had dropped and sensing that something was amiss, Yan Yi asked immediately.

Seeing Li Wen endlessly praising Ye Ming's good looks, Su Han felt displeased, shot her a sideways glare, and harbored even deeper jealousy and resentment toward Ye Ming.

Yet, for a young boy starting to learn to smoke, it was one thing for his parents to know about it, and quite another for them to see it with their own eyes. Therefore, upon seeing his mother enter, Zhou Ming still put on the act of someone who was not smoking.

In his mind, since Ye Ming was a newcomer, even if he didn't know how to play poker, he should have at least had the courtesy to keep him company in this luxury suite, even if he just went over to the sofa to drink tea. How could he not be annoyed when Ye Ming stated instead that he was going to the Lanyuan Hotel to keep his guests company?

"Alas! What happened? How on earth did I end up in the hospital? Didn't I fall asleep in Maria's car?" Ace sat up with a puzzled look, staring at the intravenous drip on his hand.

"But..." The nobleman had originally wanted to say that these two regions were the foundational homelands of the Swiss-German people, and they would undoubtedly refuse to accept such a condition, but he never expected this lord to directly cut off his subsequent words.
