Volume 1, Chapter 54: Scum

It was late into the night. The Madam liked to rest early, so as she sat beside Lu Yao, she soon began to nod off.

Lin Fei said nothing. Then, Luo Qi led the way in front, and the few of them took the elevator all the way up to the eighteenth floor, finally stopping outside a room.

The man did not speak; instead, he raised his right hand and gave the cat’s forehead a gentle tap. The cat instantly fell silent. Only then did the man lift his gaze to look at him, an expression of faint apology resting on his exquisitely beautiful face.

"Elder Chang, there is no need for money. Consider this pill a gift from me..." At this point, Lin Fei suddenly hesitated.

All he needed to do now was wait, deploy his strategy, and ensure nothing could go wrong when the provocation arrived.

That home which had once offered her the warmth of familial affection had somehow, without her knowing, become merely a fond memory. Yet the brightly lit house before her eyes felt, in her view, even darker than the night sky.

Now that Lin Fei had personally delivered such a convenient opportunity right to their doorstep, how could these people possibly refuse to take it all?

Ye Hongqing was heartless and unfeeling; if he truly managed to win Chengcheng over, would there still be a place for her by his side?

Even if she won in the end, it would only be because he had conceded to her. In fact, ever since she won the second round, it was already his deliberate doing to let her win.

Just like the ambush moments before—it had only caused him to lose consciousness for a brief fraction of a second before he slowly came back to his senses.

Therefore, when the Minotaur proposed a contest of pure strength, the expressions of the immortals in the Envoy Palace changed drastically.

"What? Surely you don't expect the two of them to put up any resistance, do you?" A flash of disdain crossed A-Fu's sharp gaze.

Wang Bo had eleven thousand eight hundred taels on hand, but the money was only enough to rent a single room. Realistically speaking, that was still rather inconvenient.

"I can do whatever Brother Li can do. Besides, Brother Li is rough and burly, how am I supposed to guard against that?" Liu Li complained indignantly.

That phoenix darted straight toward the middle-aged man, and instantly, the middle-aged man did not even have time to let out a cry.

As soon as school was over, they headed to Light Park. This park was famous for its massive basketball court. People of all age groups came here to watch games.

However, most of it consisted of items below Grade C. To other disciples of the Too Xuan Sect, it might sound blood-pumping and thrilling, but in Lin Feng's eyes, it held not the slightest bit of attraction.

"Old man, what are you muttering about endlessly? What is there even to mutter about?" Granny Deng said from the side.

The moment the few of them stepped through the entrance, the surrounding walls seemed to come alive, instantly shimmering with layer upon layer of luster.

Yan Zhao walked slowly into the room like flowing clouds and moving water, the length of his every single step surprisingly identical.

The internet was swirling with all sorts of opinions. Mu Shi usually didn't care about these things, but the moment she logged onto Weibo and saw others speaking of Jiaojiao that way, she couldn't help but reply.

Jian Xi turned her head to cast one last lingering look at the dessert shop, then resignedly followed Nan Mufeng to continue strolling.

"Forget it, I'll send a shadow guard." A shadow guard could sneak into the Gu residence and quietly bring Gu Shenzhi back.

Meanwhile, Elders Wu and Huang of the Earth Xuan Sect Plaza were distributing pills to their disciples.

Bright sunlight bathed the earth, and the oncoming tropical atmosphere made Qiao Yonghui's eyes light up.

By the time An Yun walked out to the door, a Hummer off-road vehicle was already waiting by the roadside. An Yun subconsciously glanced in the direction of the clock tower before opening the car door and getting in.

After the effeminate man finished expressing his full yearning, he realized that despite how emotional his words were, he hadn't received any response, and instantly grew a bit displeased.

However, extremes meet. As human lifespans grew longer, reproductive capacity decreased. The population across the entire Earth was plummeting drastically.

In truth, he would rather have been an ordinary mortal than a god. He didn't care about this endless longevity or the power to overturn the heavens and earth... He simply wanted to be like an ordinary person, having people who cared for him, friends, and family.

"To be honest, I just can't stand the Lin Alliance, but of course, I have my own selfish motives too!" Liu Yan'er smiled.

"Hiss—damn it, that hurts like hell, you better let go!" Long Yang quickly pushed away Xue Chong, who was gripping him tightly, and gasped, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Sentient beings that developed a mind would generate faith. Faith stemmed from the soul—formless, ethereal, and elusive. Without the proper methods, it could not be absorbed.

Jin Ling was not intimidated by her at all and sneered, "You have people?" Turning around, she also took out her phone, preparing to make a call.

However, facing the ultimate innate divine ability unleashed by the Heaven-Swallowing Python with all its divine power, these immortal formations could not even create a shred of obstruction before being obliterated and destroyed.

Consequently, after Cang Zimeng tricked the human bed warmer away, he hugged his stomach and shivered under the covers in the cold, only managing to fall asleep after he returned at dawn.

Meanwhile, that manager named Hu Wei would occasionally show his face outside the VIP reception room, glancing inside twice—and of course, the expression on his face remained one of utter disdain.

Now that the Southern Yi were invading, border warfare remained an issue where food was the greatest headache for the soldiers of Great Zhou.

"Besides, your strength is not yet strong enough. When the day comes that you step into the Immortal or Divine realms, I will take you with me to the alien realm as well, alright?" With that, Bai Yijian lowered his head and kissed Nanrong Yansue's lips.

Since Chen Li was with Zhang Haoran at the time, he simply decided to take a car back to Shangdu and go together to Luo Rongmin's house to chat.

The three of them discussed the city's defense and the follow-up matters regarding the handling of the corpse tide further. Most of it was spoken by Zuo Zhenqing and Ying Qin, while Nan Ming merely listened in silence, offering no opinions.

"I am helping you divorce because I don't want you to continue getting dragged into the Chu family's mess. But it seems Jingnan has no intention of letting you get bogged down either; isn't he the one who has been forcing you to divorce all along? It's just that his methods are a bit despicable." Chu Qingchuan let out a soft scoff, sounding much like someone speaking of an unpromising junior.
