Chapter 28: Make Him Your True Dog
Auger dared not move as Huo Lin pinned his head down. He never doubted Huo Lin’s ruthlessness; Huo Lin was the type of person who could crush his skull at any moment.
The master Huo Lin spoke of was no frail flower like those in the White Tower who wouldn’t dare step on an ant. Instead, she was someone who could speak of "killing with a single strike" with nonchalant ease, bearing a strange, uncanny resemblance to Huo Lin in certain respects.
Auger twitched his nose, sniffing Yu Xia intently. There was not a single trace of pheromones on her.
Didn’t the television always claim that zombies possessed immense strength and were avoided by most creatures? Why did Han Xiaolin look so pathetic?
Xu Yang did not want to remain trapped here indefinitely. Setting aside the question of whether he would starve, every day he spent stuck here meant countless lives lost in the conflict at Giant Deer. He had come here on a mission, after all.
The duration was at least quite long. She did not know the reason, but Su Wanyue understood that it was because she had been following her, and thus was also influenced by a portion of her accumulated merit.
Unexpectedly, once Roger negotiated this benefit and signed the contract, several mages followed suit and conceded, signing their own agreements. Only the Naga held her ground.
Liang Mu frowned. When had he moved so far away, and why had Liang Mu failed to notice it at all? Liang Mu pricked up his ears, only to hear the faint, almost imperceptible sound of footsteps approaching him.
Although he felt a flicker of doubt, he remained entirely unconcerned. With a flick of his fingers, a magical artifact resembling a cloth bag emerged from his palm, intending to absorb the entirety of Qin Tian’s attack.
Even if he were miles away from them, if he so desired, he could return to the side of Mu Qingcheng and the others in a matter of seconds.
"Hmph, let's see how you try to steal my spotlight this time, Lin Jia." Li Jiangliu muttered to himself, his desire to attack and his excitement swelling uncontrollably.
"Use an S-shaped maneuver to create an opening for yourself!" Liu He did not think twice; assuming it was just casual conversation, he voiced his thoughts as they occurred to him.
On the drive section of the flagship—the very front of the main vessel—a massive imprint of a five-fingered hand appeared.
Unable to contain his emotions, Su Mo pulled Yin Linlang’s waist toward him and kissed her lips, responding passionately to her affection.
This individual, who had once vied with Yuan Qingwei for the last remnants of dragon energy in the Eastern Tombs of the Great Qing Kingdom—only to be remotely controlled by Ji Hu at the critical moment, disrupting the operations of the Qingwei Palace and scaring Yuan Qingwei into a hasty retreat—was now utterly helpless under Yuan Qingwei’s command.
He had always intended to use her to stir up conflict among his brothers again, yet now, he found himself feeling a strange reluctance.
When Ku Zhu saw the Long River, the Ruyi, and the Precious Pearl above him, he realized at once that he had been outmaneuvered by Yuan Qingwei.
The Mingtang was renowned as a structure that was "round on top and square on the bottom, with eight windows, four doors, nine chambers, corner rooms, and twelve halls." Its scale was immensely grand; once completed, it was even referred to as a heavenly palace, also known as the Palace of Ten Thousand Manifestations. One could easily imagine the magnificence of such an edifice.
The disdainful looks from the concubines as they left left Chai Qingya feeling unbearable humiliation. She had been in the Northern Liang Crown Prince’s residence for over two months, yet Ge Ri had never once touched her. Everyone knew that although her lineage was the most prestigious among all the wives and concubines in the residence, she was not favored by Ge Ri.
Xue Fanxin had been meditating at the bottom of the pool to recover her strength. She had originally expected it to take only half a day, but to her surprise, it took an entire day, and even after that full day, she had only recovered about half of her capacity.
Jun Mo, even if you will never belong to me in the future, I will still stubbornly walk this path once more. Falling in love with you is something I will never regret.
The driver realized something was wrong and was about to make a U-turn, only to see a massive congestion of vehicles behind him, the traffic thrown into total chaos.
Ling Chen looked at Ye Yaoyao intently. After pondering for a few seconds with great "sincerity," he spoke in a refined and elegant tone.
Perhaps the only thing she could do for Wang Zun was to make a single phone call. Where should she look for Wang Fei afterward? Where could she have been abducted? She needed to gradually piece together the beginning of the incident.
