Volume 1, Chapter 54: Almost Possessed
"Alright, you may leave!"
"Ah! Fengling, can you please not chase me away? I, I..." Blinking her eyes, Shen Weiran had completely lost the murderous look she wore just a moment ago.
Looking at her now, her eyes welled with a faint, shimmering light, almost as if she were about to burst into tears. Had the setting not been entirely inappropriate, Qi Fengling would have thought she had run into some innocent, naive maiden!
It seemed her intimidation had been remarkably effective. Not only had this allowed Shen Weiran to take control of her fallen persona, but it also appeared to have made her somewhat dependent on Qi Fengling.
"You're overthinking things. Why would I chase you away? I've already handed this place over to Lin Wenwei; your job is to assist him in commanding—" Qi Fengling simply...
"Uncertain. I've only heard a little bit about it from my master, the feelings are just similar," Bushe shook his head.
"Fine! You'll do!" Ignoring Sun Guan's stance, Han Yan directly agreed to Yue Jin's request.
Once a decision was made, Zhuge Jun naturally had no intention of going back on her word, though some matters still required Han Yan's end to handle them.
"One billion!" Du Bo jumped out of his chair in shock. He had originally thought Yi Tian would ask for three to five hundred million at most, but the moment Yi Tian opened his mouth, he demanded a billion. This already exceeded the limits of what he could endure.
Take the most commonly used hard drive, for example. Although its capacity has been steadily increasing, users continue to demand newer capabilities and features from computers, leaving them with the persistent feeling that the hard drive is never quite big enough.
Zhao Kang then proceeded to check what the full-attribute bonuses were. First, the primary attribute increased by ten points; the second and third increased by nine points; the fourth through tenth added seven points; the eleventh through seventeenth added six points; and the eighteenth through twenty-fourth added five points.
Lin Feng's expression carried a trace of vigilance. He could easily deduce that the masked man in black belonged to the Longevity Sect, and he also realized that all his actions had been under the surveillance of the sect.
"You cowardly, spineless bastard! Do you believe me if I cripple you right now?!" Li Yifan cursed as he stood up with a sudden surge. It appeared that Fei Lieyang's earlier palm wind had not injured him too severely, as he was still capable of movement.
After taking consecutive hits, the health points of Granny's second uncle were instantly battered down to less than one-third. And at this moment, it seemed that one skill still had yet to appear—that's right, the Atomized Acid Rain.
"Where is this... is this the place we're going?" Uncomprehending how they had ended up in such a location, the Japanese man asked somewhat nervously.
The sound of discussions was endless, though they came entirely from cultivators below the Questing Realm. As for the cultivators in the Questing Realm itself, they acted as if they heard nothing, standing quietly in place, silent and motionless.
"Eat?" Niu Sanhuai was stunned. At a time like this, what eating was there to be done? Was he truly willing to throw away both his dignity and his face?
Jinchen smiled a foolish, silent smile. What would it take for her to forgive me? Whatever she wants, I will give it to her. Even my dignity, I have cast aside for her—yet still, she refuses to forgive me.
The fear that this strange fish would break their formation was one thing, but what made his hair stand on end even more was that he had never expected Qin Yuan to possess such a powerful magical treasure.
Using the Dao Eye to observe everything in the surroundings was the best and most useful solution, far more effective than any other method available.
The moment Chen Wei stepped inside, he felt two cold, eerie gusts of wind rushing toward him. He muttered, "Go to hell."
"Stop talking!" An Yu refused to listen to anything more concerning Chen Wei and Tan Lingling. She tossed the envelope directly into the trash can.
Although it was merely fleeting, Xu Mo did not believe things were that simple. He attempted to execute the art of divination, hoping to trace the source of that unsettling palpitation, only to discover that he lacked the capability to divine the truth. The moment he tried, a mysterious force blocked his path.
Wei Ruochen, however, showed not a shred of panic. "Naturally, the Emperor's seat rotates; this year, it has come to my house." Saying this, Wei Ruochen stared unyielding back at Dou Xinyuan.
"Qin Moyu, there is something strange beneath the waterfall ahead. It seems there is an exceptionally formidable object hidden inside." Just as Qin Moyu was about to walk over to the waterfall to wash away the stains on his body, the sword spirit suddenly transmitted a voice directly into his mind.
Landon rambled on as he led the two young women into the shop amidst a variety of gazes from the surroundings.
Though the answer would most likely be a refusal, he could take the opportunity to mock him once more for "going back on your word and spouting utter nonsense," venting the anger pent up in his chest. Should the man's brain happen to short-circuit for a moment and he accidentally picked up a free bargain, that wouldn't be bad either. Even if he hadn't witnessed the power of the Phantom Shadow Sword with his own eyes, he had already heard tales of it recited to the point of exhaustion.
Because I frequently dropped Jiang Qingqing off, the security guards at the gate were all familiar with my car. Thus, every time they saw this vehicle, they would proactively open the gate for me, and I stepped out of the car alongside Jiang Qingqing.
Ye Xuan answered without a moment's hesitation. However, catching the smile at the corner of Xiang Yu's lips, she instantly grew furious, biting her silver teeth. She never imagined that someone like Xiang Yu would make fun of her, yet she found herself utterly helpless against it.
"Hiss—" The profound-nether giant python hissed softly, absorbing a wisp of dragon might originating from the double-nether golden dragon that lingered on Cong Yi.
The boss's heart skipped a beat. This was the situation he least wished to face, yet he still possessed his own底气 (inner reliance).
A subtle ripple flashed across Shen Shiyun's eyes. She thought of how the Frost Chant Palace could have been described as "filled with distinguished guests" just a moment ago, yet before long, it was already deserted with people gone and rooms emptied. The chilling autumn wind poured in, slipping beneath her collar and instantly spreading through her entire body, bringing a faint sense of chill.
"Brother, let's go. I'm fine." Xiao Ling'er was kind-hearted after all; knowing Xiao Ming's methods, she naturally didn't want him coming into conflict with her roommates.
Yi Chun possessed only mediocre talent, sporting a pair of thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes. Placed out in the world, he could pass as a rugged, masculine tough guy, but compared to the mysterious-mannered Daoist master who preceded him, he fell far short.
Before long, he returned to the Wild Bamboo Garden. Seeing that the doors of the rooms where Xiyuan Yuqing and the others resided remained tightly shut, he had no idea whether Yuqing had returned yet.
"Very well, go down to tend to your wounds, and order the Twelve Rakshasas of the palace to head to Xuanwu City to track down Tang Yaotian. I want to see him alive if he breathes, or his corpse if he's dead!" said Heiyunzi.
"Where shall we go to test it?" Holding the kite she had made with her own hands, Xiuer was eager to try, looking at Qin Qing with a face full of anticipation.
The English play proceeded quite smoothly. We brought the translated script for Teacher Song to review, and he pointed out numerous shortcomings, helping us avoid quite a few embarrassing blunders.
Mo Chuxiao lay half-propped against the head of the bed, feeling thoroughly fine after finishing her intravenous drip. However, Mo Yaochen remained worried and insisted she stay another day. She originally planned to sneak away, but then Xi Jinning arrived once more.
