Volume 1, Chapter 48: The Wife in Night-Patrol Attire

“Does that mean this person is not from the demon cult?” Zhou Zhiruo asked with a puzzled expression, seemingly ignoring Ding Minjun’s hostile gaze.

Lin Chuan raised his right hand, and bones formed from his bone meridian grew out from beneath his sleeve, blocking the young man’s attack. The tremendous force sent Lin Chuan flying three meters before he finally came to a halt.

The check for ten million in cash was returned to Xia Meizhen’s hand, and no one replied to the waiter’s inquiry.

“Commander Wen, there’s no need for such formality. I understand your household is simple. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony; please attend to your duties. I have come to offer my congratulations and to savor the renowned delicacies of the Jue Mansion,” Pan Mei said, immediately bowing respectfully upon seeing Wen Qihang personally come to greet her.

The generals following Zhao Kuangyin gazed at Wen Qihang’s face, which bore a look of compassionate pity. Their expressions quickly turned to shameful anger as they drew their weapons, all pointing toward Wen Qihang.

The path they had traveled was through the most treacherous ancient forest route, home to many powerful monsters. These beasts were all ancient-level creatures, some even reaching the primordial level.

Moreover, that bastard Wen Qihang had even carved his name on it. Removing his name now would be like slapping his own face.

After their labor, several villagers sat together, naturally discussing the affairs of Li Xiao and his companions.

However, the deputy captain of the special police force forced a bitter smile, his face showing an expression of deep enjoyment, his demeanor even more humble.

Blood mist surged wildly, machines were destroyed, and even the two tanks leading the way ahead turned into scrap metal. Within dozens of meters, the ground caved in, leaving no sign of life.

“Can it really disappear just like that?” Austin looked at the report in puzzlement and asked the leader of the Church Army.

The three old men were all renowned figures nearby, at the peak of the combined realm, just half a step away from the great vehicle realm. Once they entered that stage, everything would be utterly different.

“Brother, have you seen it? Tell us about it!” Another man in his prime was drawn to their conversation and approached.

Chen Shangding was somewhat well-known in the logistics industry, especially in bulk cement logistics. His circle of friends were all involved in this line of work.

“How could this happen? How could this happen?” Wang Chengzi murmured in disbelief.

He had only built two cosmic markers so far—one at the Abyss of the Saha World, and another at Cangpu Island in the Changchun Realm. But the one on Cangpu Island hadn’t been activated yet, so visitors could only come from the Saha World.

Xi Zhan meant that in the future, Run’er would be sent away from my side to train, while Yun’er would remain with me.

Her liking Xi Zhan was none of my concern; whether she wanted to pursue him was irrelevant to me. I could never make that boring bet with her because it offered me no benefit whatsoever.

Most of the people I met were formidable and strong, like Charlotte. Whatever they did, they had their own purposes and were not people who needed comfort. However, I had heard from those who had been with me before that at times like this, one need only listen and do nothing else.

Brooklyn Arquette sat on a bench, drowsily watching the red needle on the glimmerstone detector in front of her. Now, she was just an ordinary researcher at the Mage Tower Research Institute, having lost her once illustrious status and narrowly escaped an almost certain death. She was content with her current state.

However, the two soldiers who came with him dared not make a single move, for Arian’s recently displayed ability was too miraculous and unpredictable; they did not want to end up blind.

“Where’s that device? Only that broken Bumblebee car is here, and it can’t even be started,” Long Hao grunted, wincing from a blow that left his whole body aching.

During the day, Xing squinted his eyes and threatened, even though he knew it was futile; it had become a habit.

Wang Tian understood what Liu Ruo meant by labor costs. To put it simply, it referred to wages. Those who could work in a foreign language undoubtedly earned significantly more. Considering there were about 300 people, the monthly expenses were enormous.

“Oh my, this really is high technology. Of course, since there’s a farm system so extraordinary, it’s no surprise that legendary spaceships appear as well.”

The success of a screen-and-roll depends directly on the ball handler’s offensive power. Wade’s offensive strength was self-evident; at his top speed, a single step could leave a defender in the dust. Not to mention the drive following a screen, Wade’s danger level skyrocketed.

Leaving the experimental weapon workshop, Garstens found Luna and Ivan waiting for him in his office. Luna saw Garstens return and obediently left the room, leaving space for Garstens and Ivan to talk.

The most striking feature of the entire village was the Heavenly Fragrant Tree at its center. No one knew how many years it had grown. Its canopy covered most of the village. Yan Xubei, a well-traveled man, had rarely seen such an ancient tree of this scale.

Wang Tian truly understood nothing about this; Liu Lingshuang was a genuine expert in this field. It was best to leave the matter to her.

As the sun gradually set in the west, all the awakened werewolves began to feel unwell—this was the inevitable first transformation every werewolf experienced.

Strangely, Xiao Zhongling was even more frightened than Gu Nanxi, as if she herself had narrowly escaped harm just moments ago.

“Stop struggling and surrender immediately!” The Third Master said impatiently, looking at the “birds” in the cage.

After returning to the dormitory, she turned on the light. Seeing no lights on, she thought no one was home. But the moment the light came on, she suddenly saw Lin Lin sitting at the desk by the window, staring at the computer.

Ruyi’s outstretched hand stiffened; in that moment, she had already fallen to her knees again. Her numb legs struck the cold floor tiles, still aching painfully.

She had always been the one pursued by men, but this was the first time she had lowered herself to chase a man, only to be met with such humiliation.

Maybe he’s sleeping right now? Even though I just got his number, there’s no need to call at this hour.

Lin Yu followed the black cat step by step, traversing the desolate land. Soon, they arrived at an oasis.

“Because pig demon meat is inedible. Although it’s dead, its entire body still carries demonic energy. Eating it would certainly be harmful. I don’t know exactly what consequences would follow, so it’s better not to eat it,” Feng Qingqing told her classmates who wanted to try the pig demon meat.
