Volume 1, Chapter 41: I Choose Him to Be My Husband...

All traces of vicissitudes and majesty vanished completely, replaced by a youthful and shrill tone filled with incredulous astonishment.

She was bound to Luo Chen by the Soul-Control Curse; if any mishap befell him, she would instantly drop dead.

As Chen Xiao placed yet another bid, the eyes of the figure beneath the black robe gradually bloodshot.

On the city wall, after the tall man finished speaking, his body crackled audibly, and suddenly the sky darkened. A gigantic strange bird appeared above the city, its golden wings blotting out the sun. Spanning a full ten zhang, it completely covered the city wall.

The salesperson sneered, and many of the customers shopping for cars looked over, letting out a few chuckles.

If the Great Shang Tribe were merely an ordinary tribe in the Ancestral Realm, Xiao Yi would not have bothered with these matters at all.

As early as in the Central Continent, Nangong Xi's Yin-Yang Divine Eyes had already been completely perfected. Not only that, but she had also ventured deep into the Netherworld to witness the power of the Book of Life and Death, pushing the potential of her Yin-Yang Divine Eyes to yet another level.

Outside the room, Scarlett Johansson was dressed in casual attire, slowly approaching the door.

Even though the coercion of the demigod decree still lingered, the experts of the Divine Martial Continent present all inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Qi Kang’s voice had even faded, a figure surged out from the ranks of the Huben Vanguard. The man had an extremely ferocious appearance and rode a mottled tiger with protruding tusks, looking thoroughly menacing. Man and beast instantly rushed fiercely toward Baili Dengfeng.

"Fine poetry, truly fine poetry!" I hurriedly clapped and praised. For a moment, Taibai wore a look of considerable pride; after all, seeing one's poetry appreciated was naturally a joyful thing.

Apart from humans, numerous spiked-mane orcs had also entered the Star of Anti-Entropy, varying in strength from warriors and elites to warlords. The strongest among them reached the rank of a Tier 3 warlord—even higher than the Tier 2 warlord previously decapitated by Xin Ji—yet they were battered into a miserable state by the solid-light mechanical entities, covered in wounds.

With this, Link and his companions had finally completed all the quests in the game, and from then on, they would go their separate ways. Those who wanted to grind for gear could go grind for gear, and those who wanted to level up could focus entirely on leveling up.

This meant that the fellow lying on the coffin was still alive. This discovery shocked me greatly, making the question of whether to save him or not an immediate dilemma.

It was just a curse, after all. Compared to the bizarre and grotesque things found in Tang dynasty tombs, I felt this was quite normal. Besides, if a major tomb had no dangers at all, anyone would be able to plunder it whenever they pleased.

Fortunately, the trouble Dazhu stirred up was not overly severe. The Illumination Lamp, functioning as a guiding soul lamp, was not considered too high-tier an item to appear in such a place, so the entity guarding it would not be exceptionally powerful. Otherwise, had we provoked the Soul-Calling Lamp or the Heaven-Probing Lamp, we would undoubtedly be in deep trouble today.

The thought of being able to raid a super BOSS every single day made "Raging to the Nine Heavens" feel a surge of burning excitement.

Within the spatial domain of Rain-Defying Sunshine, the NPCs were holding an event, and a curious Flying Southeast signed up to participate.

"I think so too... Seeing how unhurried you all were, just thinking about the missions we used to execute back when I was in the military tells me you have vast experience," Komova said with a light chuckle.

Meanwhile, Boss Ming extended the information probe at the back of its head to connect with the controller of the holographic curtain, taking over the operational load of displaying the screen. Using its formidable computing power, it constantly altered the image data projected on the curtain to overcome gaps and distortions caused by movement and fabric folds.

Xu Jia’s scholarly hat was finally returned to its original owner, and his fans expressed profound regret, spontaneously organizing activities to commemorate him.

Her voice, her skin, her clinging, water-like gaze—he could not forget any of it.

With a muffled pop, a bullet pierced straight through Ji Ruijia’s back. At that very instant, she suddenly felt the entire world grow warm.

Her prospective father-in-law seemed to have a rather weak heart and should eat fewer spicy, oily, and stimulating foods. Eliminate him, eliminate them all.

Thanks to Huo Jinchen’s desperate and suicidal antics, after his true parentage was exposed, Steward Feng and the others felt not a shred of pity or reluctance. Instead, they rejoiced immensely that such a brainless fool was not the true heir of the Feng family.

Fortunately, his meridians were much sturdier than those of ordinary people, which allowed him to endure for so long. Even so, the pain in his body remained unabated, not lessening by a single bit. By comparison, the trivial agony of the bullet wound piercing his right shoulder was hardly worth mentioning.

By the finals, it was no longer determined by regular-season rankings for priority in side selection; instead, it came down to the classic coin toss. In this regard, Nofe’s luck was much better than that of EDG's new coach, winning them first-choice side selection for game one, with ZBC taking the blue side.

How to recover it? Launch a satellite into space to capture the satellite emitting the jamming interference. This was sufficient to demonstrate a firm yet restrained attitude, yet even though Eriks had once retrieved the Hayabusa probe, he still could not make its captain obediently toe the line.

Chen Anan turned his head to look behind him and discovered that about three meters away stood a thick, ancient tree that required two people to encircle it with their arms.

Of course, true security did not rely solely on a single city; it also required surrounding stability and unobstructed official roads—each element was indispensable.

He recalled his itinerary for the day: visiting the forest in the morning, selling some materials at noon while buying a few items, and then going out to test whether his combat affected his ability to digest energy.

This was the first peaceful sleep I had enjoyed since leaving the capital, or perhaps even earlier—ever since I departed from the Crown Prince's Mansion.
