Chapter 40

The shopkeeper called out an attendant from the back room and had him take the cloth bundle inside for processing. Lang Tianya knew that merchants here did not cheat their customers, so he calmly let them handle it. Before long, the attendant came out and announced two figures. Lang Tianya guessed they were the quantities of alloy and gold.
“Selected? What did you select?” Fan Yu asked, looking strangely at the old man before him. The old man slowly raised his hand and gave it a slight twitch.
Damn, he had already been docked eight hundred yuan before his shift had even started. Wang Dong stood there holding his clothes, utterly at a loss. He blinked at Hua Yana, unsure how to get her to leave—he needed to change.
In the Immortal Realm, Fan Yu’s soul power could extend a great distance, but in the Martial Realm, it reached no more than ten li in every direction.
Besides, I have always been exceptionally good at swimming. Wouldn’t dealing with these Azure-Ring Sea Snakes be easy?
Zhao Kuishan and Xu Qingshan said nothing more and left Bai Weiguo’s office one after the other.
Liu Ming’s face flushed. When it came to strength, how could he possibly be Zhang Long’s equal? The moment they clashed, Liu Ming was forced back four or five steps, sword in hand, his arm numb from the impact.
As he spoke, he turned and hurried toward the door. From his excited yet somewhat urgent expression, it was clear that his relationship with Ling Luo and the others was much as they had guessed—not that of ordinary comrades-in-arms.
This was something he had never imagined. He had never expected Fan Yu to be the bearer of the Supreme Divine Ring.
Fu Beijue wore a black suit, black from head to toe. The orange-gold light of the setting sun fell upon him, softening the chill that surrounded him. His hawk-like eyes, high-bridged nose, and exquisite thin lips appeared far gentler beneath the sunset glow.
Ling Qingqian remembered Chang Man’er once telling her that Shen Nie was extremely cold by nature and rejected almost every attempt at friendliness from others.
She could not understand why this force had suddenly vanished, but for her, the situation was a blessing.
From this day forward, the prestigious names of the great clans would no longer serve as passes to special treatment. Once ordinary people realized that the scions of those clans were nothing more than fame-seekers, they would no longer hold them in the slightest awe.

At that moment, he had taken a Purple Origin Pill internally and applied Body-Tempering Salve externally. In only one afternoon, his cultivation had advanced considerably.
When she saw Fu Beijue, there was an additional scar on his face. At the time, it had not been treated, and blood had streamed down it.
People asked her for autographs and fortune-telling, and even paparazzi came sniffing around to interview them about whether they had set a wedding date and when they planned to marry.
Depending on one’s natural endowment, cultivation technique, and resources, this realm could add anywhere from one or two thousand jin of strength to eight or nine thousand—even ten thousand.
No wonder that man had always looked at him so strangely. It seemed their relationship was far from ordinary.
That quiet sentence instantly plunged the entire inner chamber into silence. Lin Yan’an’s expression turned cold. Someone had actually poisoned a person inside the residence.
Suddenly, an opening appeared in a metal passage overhead, and an iron bed clattered down along the rails.
The newborn sun swept away all the gloom from the sky, and the slightly chilly air began to grow warm.
Her favorite flower was the sunflower, her favorite color pale green, her favorite season summer, and her favorite sport diving.
Yuan Shao’s cry immediately drew everyone’s attention, and every gaze turned toward him.
Wu En reluctantly agreed. Naturally, he was unwilling to protect the enemy who had plotted against them. But with the unknown enemy posing a hidden threat, he had no choice.
Without warning, several huge bulges suddenly thrust up from the previously flat, solid roadway. The mounds of concrete and rebar rose several meters high, like irregular walls blocking the path not far ahead of the police car.
Ye Liuli brought her mouth to the cup and drank two gulps while he held it for her, then continued eating. Within only a few minutes, she had finished the entire meal. Only then did she feel as though she had finally come back to life.

Sometimes they would casually seize anything valuable from survivors entering the city, and beat them brutally with leather belts at the slightest sign of resistance. Or they would simply claim that the person had been infected with the zombie virus and forbid them from entering. If anyone refused to accept this and insisted on going inside, a single bullet would naturally end that person’s life.
Li Yi rubbed his ear. He always felt that he had pressed it too close to the door, and that something might have gone wrong.
Yue Yi watched Su Zhenzhen as she ignored him while speaking to her, lost in thought, a trace of suspicion flashing through her eyes.
Whether it was true or false, Jing Gao had no intention of investigating. He merely felt that someone as capable as Zhong Qiming truly deserved a promotion.
Of course, Yi Susu could never reveal this to Yi Fan. She could only keep her suspicions hidden in her heart.
Although he had conveyed Song Yao’s ultimatum—and that of the capital behind him—to Assistant Chen, the villa’s butler, the matter should have ended there. Even so, he still wanted to meet President Jing in person.
Looking at the vivid-red Fire Essence Cinnabar and the black Abyssal Breath Soil, Chu Yan felt that they were the most precious things he had ever possessed.
The man had been sleeping soundly, snoring like thunder one second earlier. The next, he heard the phone ring—or rather, a particular ringtone—and jolted upright in bed. He reached for the phone on the nightstand, deliberately clearing his throat so that his voice would not sound quite so groggy.
Moreover, the Immortal Netherworld Ancient Tree possessed heaven-defying effects. It required no refinement; grinding down even a small amount could restore a dying immortal to perfect health.
Ou Du felt somewhat regretful as well. The atmosphere had been so good just moments ago, and he should not have opened Pandora’s box. But this was an obstacle they would have to face sooner or later.
Li Mengwei looked up and saw Wei Caiyan, head of the Grade Eleven mathematics department, enter carrying a bouquet of roses. She could not help smiling sweetly. That radiant smile, bright as spring blossoms, seemed the most beautiful sight of the evening, dazzling the male teachers in the office until they were utterly entranced.
