Volume 1, Chapter 60: Shen Qingzhu Comes to Cause Trouble

Mother Fu stood at the doorway, wearing a dark brown mink coat, carrying a limited-edition Hermès handbag, and adorned with heavy gold earrings that radiated an overwhelming aura of wealth. Her gaze was piercing.

"What? Can I not even visit my own son's home?"

Mother Fu bypassed her and strode into the living room.

Catching sight of Nannan sitting on the sofa, Mother Fu's gaze turned slightly cold.

Years ago, she had consulted a fortune-telling master who predicted her son would have a boy as his firstborn. Instead, out came a little girl—this very wretched girl who had usurped her grandson's physical vessel and prevented him from being reincarnated into their family.

In the procession, Xiang Yu encountered Liu Mengrou and her subordinates Liu, Guan, and Zhang, as well as Ma Mengqi and the Ma siblings.

Lin Chen grabbed Batu by the collar with one hand, and with the other, delivered over a dozen slaps straight across Batu's face.

"Deputy Mayor Zhao, I originally had no intention of prying, but there is nothing I can do. Since you won't let me leave, I can only wrong myself and sleep at your place," Qin Li muttered to himself.

There was a strict time limit for the roll-call vote, spanning only fifteen minutes from start to finish. Nearly ten minutes had already elapsed. If he failed to secure the support of sixty families before the end, the outcome would be self-evident.

Did that soul just utter something a moment ago? However, the voice had been shielded, as if only Yuan Tiangang could hear it.

"Tell you? On what grounds?" Li Yongle looked at the other party with amusement, truly baffled as to how such a national-treasure-level fierce girl managed to become a police officer.

If killing were permitted here at will, then this newly arrived descendant had probably just committed some minor transgression before being executed.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Sister Chen upstairs slowly woke up. When she saw Department Head Ma and Sister-in-law Jie stark naked and being savagely beaten by Zhang Jie, she instantly grasped the nature of their relationship.

Kings and Spider-Man watched the crowd rushing toward the treasure without a trace of haste, a mocking smirk playing at the corners of their mouths.

"I will say this once more. Those who refuse to submit to me, leave Kunlun immediately. But if you choose to stay, you must obey my commands," Chen Feng said in an icy tone.

The golden lion's vision gradually blurred, but the terror in his heart surged like rampant seaweed. He had been defeated—utterly and completely defeated, not in terms of cultivation, but vanquished by the divine arts and spells he had always taken such pride in.

"Hey, are you out of your mind? This is my spirit pet, mine! If you want to rest, go summon your own spirit pet," Qin Wan wailed, her mouth running incessantly. Before she could continue, however, a chilling aura suddenly closed in swiftly from behind.

"Yes." Long Ge agreed via telepathic transmission. Watching Long Ge endure continuous, brutal whipping, he couldn't help feeling a tinge of sympathy. The mere thought that he himself might be the one receiving those lashes sent cold sweat streaming down his back.

"Stop struggling. This Heaven and Earth Grinding Mill of mine was crafted for me by Zuo Mu, the most exquisite artifact-refining grandmaster of your Qingcheng Sect. It is a masterpiece among top-tier magic tools. With your meager strength, how could you possibly break through it?" Not far away, the old man's voice drifted over leisurely.

The young man, who had gathered in the hotel and finally breathed a sigh of relief after moving away from the prying eyes, bounded directly onto Patchouli's lap inside the room he shared with her.

Although there was no sunlight underground, the ample supply of oxygen and firelight still filled the entire subterranean world with radiance.

Here, and here too. Ren Pindi pointed to the two flanks of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, where rocky formations had been erected at the two edges of the Misty Lake. Because flight was prohibited, everyone was forced to travel exclusively via the water route of the Misty Lake.

Though Chen San harbored suspicions inwardly, his limited knowledge of the inner workings meant that trying to uncover the true intentions of the two Kunlun figures from such meager clues was plainly unrealistic. He had considered asking Qian Teng, but figured that old fogey wouldn't give him a straight answer anyway—likely serving up a mix of half-truths and falsehoods that would be utterly pointless. Hence, he decided it was better not to ask at all.

During the bathhouse's soft opening period a while back, the uniform-temptation theme, once launched, had produced phenomenal results.
