Chapter 59: An Unusual Guest at the Chen Family Banquet

When Xu Qi and the others arrived at the Chen residence, the midday winter sun was slanting through the damp and chilly mist of the Qingjiangpu canal, lending the scene a picturesque and ethereal quality that set off the elegance and profound depth of the five-courtyard mansion deep in Yanyin Alley.

The glazed screen wall gleamed with a riot of shifting colors. Although there was no plaque above the main gate, the pair of jade kylins flanking the entrance left no doubt of the estate's extraordinary status.

Gao Doudou's voice was utterly desolate, arousing profound pity in Zhu Xiangfen standing beside her, and causing him to increase the force with which he pounded on the door.

Having calibrated his target, he decisively pressed the button; a beam of blue light burst from the muzzle, instantly crossing a distance of nearly ten kilometers to strike the broodmother.

As long as humans and vertebrates are alive, their bodies undergo metabolism every moment, a process that generates waste liquids which must then be expelled from the body via the urinary system and urinary tract.

The footsteps were light yet firm, and the crisp click of high heels indicated it was not a nurse—nurses in this hospital did not walk with that mindset, nor would they wear high heels; it was a visitor.

Mordekaiser suddenly turned his head, the fires of his soul clearly visible within his empty eye sockets, appearing all the more eerie and spine-chilling.

Struck by this blow, the golden-haired dog let out a grievance-laden whine, yet the icy gleam in the corners of its eyes remained fixed coldly upon Luo Ye, unyielding as an embedded steel nail.

"Holy King, we have investigated and confirmed that the tiger demon indeed possesses only the strength of a great demon, yet using a metal staff, he struck down the previous demon king of Landong Mountain with a single blow. Even the men Your Majesty dispatched were slain by him," a fox demon commander reported.

Jin Gu circled around it twice, shifting a few stones before finding a suitable spot beneath the original entrance of the cave, clearing away enough space to accommodate her truck. It turned out to be a relatively large crevice space.
