Volume One, Chapter 48: Drink With Me Until We Forget Everything

"Then how should we start? Rob anyone we meet?" Hua Shiyi was equally eager about this approach.

Just as his grip on the arm unconsciously loosened, Chen Ronglike a rabbit, swiftly and agilely darted out, lifted the carriage curtain, and jumped down from the moving carriage.

That won’t do! Yun Zheng immediately fell into the trap; after all, he had sent her there on purpose. In an instant, forgetting the earlier dispute, he grasped her hand and pulled her into the dining hall.

“That’s the plantation area; over there is the fishing zone...” Cheng Nuo kept smiling brightly, as if she had boundless energy.

Gu Chang’an flashed in midair, evading Feng Jinglan’s attack, then in the next moment, appeared before her with an uncanny speed.

With the conclusion of the first day’s competition, Hua Shiyi’s team’s reputation skyrocketed overnight.

Although he was clearly a split personality of Huo Zhanbei, strangely, some aspects seemed to have been eroded.

Jin Zhiyan understood Jiang Chengce well—a man who never gave up until he achieved his goal. Once he set his mind on something, it was impossible to escape his grasp.

After her lips and teeth were freed, fresh air slowly filled Long Yan’s lungs; the consciousness that had been lost from the dazzling, skillful kiss from a certain top executive began to return to her mind.

Xiao Xiwei instinctively glanced at Chu Xizhi, her clear eyes shimmering with moisture, while her cherry lips, glowing with an alluring sheen after the passionate kiss, made Chu Xizhi’s throat tighten. Unable to resist, he lowered his head and nibbled and sucked on those enticing lips again.

Two blades plunged directly into the back of the neck, cutting open a large piece of flesh in a scissor-like motion. Since the exact spot couldn’t be found, the entire section was sliced off.

Wearing a silver-white princess gown, she looked back; it must have been shortly after she disembarked when she noticed the media, her gaze confused yet extraordinarily beautiful and graceful.

This saved Changpu a lot of trouble; Iron City became a place where she alone spoke and acted authoritatively. Though tiring, the feeling of having everything under control was deeply satisfying.

With the intent to divide the enemy, Ming Yue unceremoniously placed a high hat on the Mo family members who had previously opposed her.

Suspiciously accepting the pill, Qin Tianci examined it briefly before popping it into his mouth. The pill melted instantly, turning into a juice that slid down his esophagus.

Shi Yi watched them closely. Could something have happened in the time it took to swallow a pill that she was unaware of?

Although it was their first time fighting a human team, many were not first-time killers. Having experienced cruelties even more brutal than humans, they had long become indifferent to everything! They only followed the endless slaughter of the Great Calamity Star.

When Ning Fuchen attacked, the old bird had not yet unleashed his full strength. Ignoring the powerful impact behind him, Ning Fuchen clasped his fists together in a supreme martial seal and struck the old bird’s head.

The image of a king is crucial; the more imposing the image, the stronger the country appears. Having a star spirit in the form of a frost giant dragon was a significant advantage.

The rope seemed to know its direction on its own, reaching toward the neck of the man on Zhuo Lexuan, tying a knot. Then it moved toward the man about to assault Ye Caiping, locking his neck just like the first.

“Your Majesty, the covert guards in Zhilian Hall have been eliminated; you may rest assured,” the black-clad man Wei Hai reported.

Before Old Nine could finish speaking, Chai Wang struck his head. Chai Wang held the bottle’s neck and directly stabbed toward the major artery in Old Nine’s neck. Old Nine, a seasoned trickster, covered his neck with his hand, so the bottle pierced his hand instead.

“So, you mean it was Yu Huan’s fault?” His tone was calm, like a windless lake surface, undisturbed.

In the courtyard, the playful dog kept twitching its nose and said to Laidi, “Mom, there’s something tasty. I want to eat something delicious.” Saliva dripped as it spoke.

The young man, having been hit by four bottles, was burning with anger. He left the RASH gate and called his elder brother Li Tiegua.

Wei Yang gritted his teeth and gave an awkward smile at Li Yunjin, then pinched Li Yunhao, who remained expressionless and entered. Besides Li Yunjin, Qin Feng and Lan Xin had also arrived.

However, when they reached the inn, Luo Ping and Bai Ruoyun were just coming out. Qinglian and the others immediately hid to see where they were headed.

“What are you doing?” Seeing the three each holding a book, Jiu’er curiously approached Jing Muya.

Though Zhou Qingshuang made a light joke, her heart was far from at ease.

Honestly, by now, they couldn’t help but doubt the truthfulness of the “dangerous element” warning brought by Baoguo. Otherwise, why was it that only their barber team was working hard, with no sign of activity from other departments?

“How could this be?” Wei Zhongdao, sitting among the guests, finally couldn’t help but exclaim. The day’s events had sent him soaring to great heights and plunging to deep lows; the rollercoaster of emotions was truly unsettling.

Ge Long’s power had increased significantly, and after learning many spells from other schools, he could now completely see through the illusions created by the great river.

Already injured and more cautious than before, she fought the Crown Prince of the enemy earnestly, aiming to kill him. The murderous aura unleashed must have made her uncomfortable, which is why she was furious and used ice to freeze their legs, restraining them without turning them into ice sculptures.

Lin Yilang opened his eyes, glanced at Situ Qiao, gritted his teeth, and remained silent. Situ Qiao chuckled, his strange eyes roaming over Lin Yilang’s face, filled with mockery.

Jin Yunlin could only hold his breath and return to his room, finally knocking on An Nuan’s door at dusk.

Though An Nuan and the aunt’s conversation had been whispered, the shop was quiet, so everyone naturally overheard and witnessed the scene.
