Chapter Forty-Seven

“Report! Why can’t we go?” Xiahou Wei shouted at once, having no time even to get angry.
“There really was money left over?” Lei caught it and remarked casually. He had thought Li Jiahao was joking. With equipment worth tens of millions of yuan suddenly added to the order, it would have been strange if anything remained. Yet, astonishingly, there was—1.4 million U.S. dollars, nearly half the total procurement budget.
The five lackeys straightened at once, as though they had received a sacred mission. They immediately snapped to attention and rendered a perfectly standard military salute.
At last, under the watchful eyes of Liang Yu and the others, the Corpse King could no longer utter even a single cry. The Suanni Golden Flame had swallowed his head in one bite, turning it into corpse oil that scattered across the earth and solidified there forever.
Jing Hai looked rather disheveled. Several tears had appeared in his dignified robes, his hair had come loose and fallen across his face, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
His luck had always been terrible—so terrible that he felt the entire world was conspiring against him. Then, one day, he acquired superhuman power. And later still, he came to possess the Black Angel organization.
Bidekai’s eyes were filled with fury. He glared fiercely at Li Xin, then picked up Bidoguan and left.
Could he know something? No, impossible. This was clearly the first time I had ever met him. There was no way he could know anything about me.
Confronted by the fierce and intimidating King Qin Guang, Qiao Zixuan felt slightly uneasy, but still nodded.
In that instant, the black-clad man had already leaped onto the roof and fled, leaving only a few shattered roof tiles to clatter onto the ground.
With no other choice, Wang Zhen immediately tightened his guard and chose to withstand Black Andy’s hook with his own arm.
It seemed that their eyes could see through Zuo Xiu’s body and directly observe the two flames surrounding his heart.
Yet he failed to notice that, while he was concentrating wholly on Li Tianyun, Liao Changming suddenly sprang into action.

In this era, there was no television. Once darkness fell, there was essentially no entertainment to speak of. The two men therefore bathed early and returned to their room.
“Forget it. Her family is very wealthy; she may not even think much of you.” Lin Shi smiled bitterly and flatly rejected Zhao Liutian’s request. Quite apart from whether Mishima Tomomi would be willing to meet Zhao Liutian, Lin Shi doubted they would become close even if she agreed.
After hearing Cheng Jie’s answer, Zero nodded as well. Traveling by harnessing the power of space and time was indeed extremely efficient, a fact he understood better than anyone. Judging by the time, they did not have much of it left.
Lin Yaozu’s expression darkened. He took out his phone, intending to ask the technical department of the Battlefish Platform what was going on.
“I can’t guarantee what will happen without a Spatial Stone, but I believe the reward they’ve promised will be absolutely worth it—perhaps even better than a Spatial Stone,” Zuo Xiu said.
“Understood!” Su Yi had been tormented nearly to death by Su Mu and the other two along the way. Now that he could finally shake them off and collect his reward, he turned and left immediately after speaking. The Heavenly Alliance Sect had more than a dozen peaks. Even as an inner disciple, he was merely a marginal figure, without the qualifications to enter the main peak.
There was not the slightest trace of darkness in this person’s aura. On the contrary, it carried a kind of upright integrity reminiscent of Confucianism.
And what would become of these two delicate, tender-skinned fellows after spending every day among hundreds of broad-shouldered, rough-hewn soldiers?
“Not good!” With a thought, Bu Fan sent the Blood Peachwood Boat shooting straight into the lofty sky like a sharp arrow.
With part of its support removed, the objects inside the white-framed space toppled over, revealing a black opening behind them.
There was no time to mourn their fallen comrades. The moment the battle ended, Xia Quan and Ding Qing’an threw themselves into the effort to save the wounded.
Hoping to improve the taste a little, Xia Quan waited until the adults were not looking, then secretly added more refined salt and vegetable oil.
Zhang Lili noticed the ill intent in his gaze, but did not dare say anything. She lowered her head and glanced down, her cheeks flushing slightly as she tugged her clothes upward.

He did not dare imagine whether Boss Xiao and the others would come to seize them too if they learned that his family had steamed buns made from refined white flour.
But now that matters had reached this point, as the founder of the Hunter Empire, if I did not personally go to Earth and meet that person from the human race, this matter would likely become impossible to resolve peacefully in the future.
“Hee hee hee! Brother Yu will listen to you? He told me that you seem like a decent person, so we’ll follow you for a while. If you turn out to be unreliable, the two of us will leave.” The artifact spirit of the Blazing Fire Fan conveyed the thought bluntly and honestly.
Yun Huo seemed somewhat restless and irritable. He found fault with everyone he saw each day, and even spoke unpleasantly to Hong Yun.
After giving his instructions, You Fei hugged a coat and slept soundly for two hours. When he awoke, he found several soldiers responsible for the interrogation watching him sheepishly.
After conquering the Haoyue Kingdom, he had remained worried about Cloud City and Bright Moon Manor. After all, the Crown Prince’s mother, Noble Consort Li, was at Bright Moon Manor.
Xia Tian also sensed that something was wrong, but just as he began to move, he saw that a fight had already broken out in the lower lane.
In the distance, Lu Xu gradually withdrew his gaze from the Phoenix Heavenly Palace. Then he turned toward another stretch of sky and said softly, “The people from the Taiyi Heavenly Palace have arrived as well…”
At this point, retaining their noble titles served no purpose beyond preventing them from causing trouble and allowing them to placate the common people in their territories.
