Chapter 42: An Unexpected Visitor

"My being sent by the leader to command this tomb-raiding expedition should surely be enough to prove this point, right?" said Halim.

Riding a nine-colored deer, Qiu Ming swaggered to the edge of the royal palace, completely invisible to anyone. Just as Qiu Ming intended to enter, he sensed a powerful aura.

"Rhinoceros Herb? What is that?" Wu Xiaomeng asked in confusion. She was not an apothecary, so she was unfamiliar with many plants and had no idea what they were used for.

"You're too kind." Su Chang's expression softened slightly at this. She naturally linked her arm through Xing Feng's, quietly asserting her dominance.

Hearing Coulson's order, the US soldier driving the jeep quickly slammed on the brakes. After sliding forward half a meter, the jeep came to a halt.

Mo Zili was somewhat surprised. He had assumed she said those words because she wanted to marry Qianjiang, so why was she crying now?

In a state of panic, the man began to struggle and roar loudly, trying to free his hands and feet from the steel cables binding them.

However, the process seemed a bit accidental. Su Ran hadn't used much force when closing the door, and when Lin Feng pushed it open, his momentum hadn't diminished at all, causing him to crash directly into Su Ran.

"That means you have thought about being with me, right?" Lin Feng automatically filtered out the second half of the sentence and continued to ask.

There was simply no way to explain this matter, nor did he want to explain it, so he had to resort to a more direct method—one that he rarely used on pitiful people.

Now there was an uproar, especially among the veteran shareholders of the Chen Corporation and the high-ranking executives of Chen Real Estate. More than half of them looked toward Zhang Jun, and some could not wait to interrogate the Zhang family members. Zhang Jun tried to explain a couple of times, but finding his voice completely drowned out, he could only fret in anxiety.

"Yet your life isn't very fulfilling? You give me the impression that you carry a heavy psychological pressure. Did you strive your whole life just to gain your father's approval rather than for your own enjoyment?" Li An said.

Even because of the gold artifact exhibition, those censors stopped nitpicking the gunpowder factory explosion or crying out for Wang Anshi to step down.

Xiao Xie's current cultivation had reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Pills like the Jiashizi Pill, which increased inner energy, were of no help to him.

Both of them landed blows on each other in that recent punch. Relatively speaking, Zheng Ya suffered a slight disadvantage, the reason being that when Zheng Ya threw his punch, he had just awakened from witchcraft, so his punch lacked maximum power, whereas Bu Buqiu applied his strength to the fullest.

Society is a vast dyeing vat. Wherever people are, there is a jianghu, and wherever there is a jianghu, there are bound to be the rules of the jianghu.

The entire battle truly resembled a military exercise. One could only see the Japanese pirates falling in waves, fleeing in panic. Due to their sheer numbers and tight formation, they actually began to trample one another; many who fell down could never rise again.

Pang Yufeng signaled Dayong to pour a cup of water for Qin Kai. After drinking the water, Qin Kai seemed to relax considerably.

This time Shen Duan changed his tune. He insisted on claiming credit, keeping it hidden from the emperor without submitting a memorial, and even told Tan Xian that the court would soon dispatch an imperial commissioner to the northwest, and he was to be one of them.

The timing was just right. Just as the swamp viper rushed into the puddle beside him and prepared to attack, the puddle froze instantly, trapping the swamp viper firmly inside. Only its head was exposed, its wide mouth open in a hiss, suddenly shooting a black arrow of water from its maw.

Fortunately, timely contact between Mo Ying and Lu Changfeng pulled Ye Fenghui out of such emotional turmoil.

Li Ling did not mention two things: one was the blood-red bracelet and the matter of time travel, and the other was the grievances and entanglements between Liu Jin and Li Ling in the imperial palace of Jinlin City.

So this was a divine artifact, the Spear of Argus. One could only perceive its indomitable momentum and piercing sharpness.

Yet she did not fear the act of killing, because that too was a rule of the survival of the fittest.

Qingyan burst into laughter. Outsiders all said that Yin was a stern father, but in front of Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, Yin could not put on a stern expression at all, looking instead like a gentle and affectionate father.

The monster in the lake seemed to have discovered some delicious morsel, its tentacles shooting out to grab Muji's formless spiritual consciousness.

"Yet the one I love in my heart has always been you. Why can't you endure a little for my sake?" The Heavenly Emperor's emotions were also on the verge of breaking down, unconsciously taking a few steps closer to Luoying.

Restlessly tossing and turning again to settle herself down, she lay there, catching her breath, and slowly calmed down.

The economics major fat guy had been loudly boasting about pursuing Min Jing, and the classmates were all waiting to watch a good show. This fat guy was heavy and unattractive, yet he had some money and was generous with his spending. Meanwhile, Min Jing came from an ordinary background, so the fat guy frequently launched offensives by sending flowers, chocolates, and even designer handbags.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help narrowing my eyes, feeling a bit uncertain inside, and began to regret why I hadn't forced Ya'er to blurt those words out back then.

Fusu and Meng Yi exchanged glances, both guessing this underlying reason. They nodded in mutual understanding and continued listening to the virtual projection's narrative.

Abailun currently had no further benchmarks for strength comparison; he could only rely on the otherworldly individuals brought by Aisk to gauge the strength of the undead under his command.

It was truly easy for people to imagine that some intense event had occurred for her to sustain injuries.

After all, this concerned the survival of all humanity. If sacrificing Ye Lingdian could secure an extremely favorable situation, even if the Martial Department didn't think that way, other nations would certainly set their sights on him.

"It's not just about diversifying risks; it's also about spreading the pulling force across the entire Guiyun Continent so that no single piece is lost during the ascension process," Huang Tingyuan explained.

Yet she had no intention of welshing on the debt, even though she knew that for someone like him, a few thousand yuan meant nothing—probably no more than the cost of a single meal or a bottle of wine.

Lin Xia sat to the side, watching Fu Mi and her friends chat and laugh. Everyone was having a merry time, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Today's weather was fairly decent, with sunlight streaming in through the carved lattice windows, making one feel lazily warm.

Flattery never fails; everyone loves hearing pleasant words, and laying on the praise heavily is never wrong. Besides, Zhang Yuan deliberately boasting in front of them about having become a manager was simply meant to make them look up to him while displaying his own sense of superiority.

She had managed to understand so much because she needed to thoroughly master Tier 3 pills, but Alchemist Luo hadn't even officially refined a Tier 3 pill yet could already grasp it to this extent. She was far more formidable than her.
