Volume One, Chapter 22: The Second Marriage Contract

Di Qingcheng shivered as she stared into the dark, hollow muzzle of the gun.

"Who are you people? What do you want?"

"Heh heh, Miss Di, we don’t really know what we want ourselves. Someone paid us to bring you over, so you’d better behave. Otherwise, my gun might just go off by accident."

"Whatever he’s paying you, I’ll double it. Won’t you let me go?"

"Miss Di, we may be kidnappers taking money to do a job, but we have professional ethics."

Seeing that the kidnappers were unmoved by any plea, Di Qingcheng fell into despair.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at!"

Duan Wuchen had looked over out of curiosity, but the next second, he was met with a dark, hollow...

At first, the development of Shi Weitian was essentially a loss-making endeavor; it was a business model built on burning through capital.

As the Left Chancellor’s head fell to the ground, Chu Jin'er arrived on the scene. She gazed at the spraying blood, and a sudden pain pierced her heart. She had never acknowledged this man as her father, nor had she ever called him "Dad," yet here she was, coming to collect his remains. How ironic it was.

Suspicion is like a venomous snake; one light bite can easily take a life. Even if one is saved, they never dare to get close again. Yuzhen could agree to keep the child, but she could not convince herself to open her heart to him again.

Now he finally understood why the three Profound Immortal-level practitioners from before had been reduced to nothing but a pile of white bones.

He took a closer look at Bo Yichen. The more he looked, the more familiar he seemed, but he couldn't quite place him.

Although Jin Xiu’er was still somewhat pretentious, perhaps even self-righteous, Ling Zhengdao felt a sense of relief in his heart. No matter what, the child had finally recognized her mistakes and understood the horror of drugs.

Furthermore, this time the Asura King stood directly above the yellow torrent, manipulating everything beneath him. The two forces combined, creating an aura that felt like it would destroy heaven and earth. At the very least, from Wei Yi’s perspective, it seemed as if the vast majority of the sky was crashing down upon him.

After seeing who the voice belonged to, she widened her eyes slightly. "President Qin..." Following behind Ren Wu, Qin Huainian walked over with a dark expression. With his flawless, sculpted features, long legs, and sturdy chest, he felt like a wind blowing in from a land of ice and snow.

But now, because Wei Yi was cultivating here, two distinct and mysterious forces—the essence of water and the essence of fire—emerged.

Yet, they were clever in that they knew how to be content at all times, knew how to be grateful, and knew how to treat others with sincerity once they saw the truth of a situation.

The massive, materialized Xuanyuan Sword cut through the air like a hot knife through butter, severing the Demon God Mephisto’s claws with irresistible force before slicing through its wings.

If only it weren't for the fact that he couldn't equip those high-level items and skills that required level 35 or higher.

"I think it must have been the Princess's intent. She probably caught wind of your participation in the tournament and changed it specifically for you," Murong Gui said.

Komai Osamu’s perspective was indeed limited. His greatest opponents were merely armies of commoners within the Land of Hot Springs; he had no idea how terrifying ninjas could be. Thus, in his eyes, immortality seemed invincible. In truth, this world was far more dangerous than he imagined.

He chuckled, waved his large hand, and tore Xu He’s clothes to shreds. Looking at Xu He’s beautiful figure and delicate skin, Shuanzi’s eyes glowed with an excited, hungry light. With a coarse laugh, he pinned Xu He beneath him and set to his "labor."

If Hao Hao were really to be handed over to Zhou Yunmei to be taken home, he would actually prefer that Hao Hao remain as he was, cared for by the Fang family.

"For me?" Luo Dashan hadn't worn anything new in years, always wearing the hand-me-downs of his two brothers, Luo Zhiyong and Luo Zhiming. Hearing that this was specifically for him, he looked on in disbelief.

"I’m fine, no need for an examination." Wu Lingyu gripped her hand tightly, refusing to let her take his pulse.

Li Shanda specifically taught them how to perform a military salute. For those trained in martial arts, such a simple movement carried an air of masculine vigor. Li Shanda felt satisfied after watching them.

The two figures gradually overlapped. In a daze, Zhang Han seemed to see them merge into one, indistinguishable from each other. He could no longer tell if the person sitting on the throne was Ji Li or the First Emperor.

After sitting for a while longer, as if he heard Si Qing’er’s laughter outside, he stood up with a bitter smile and casually snuffed out the flame on the white candle.

Logically, that earth-shattering attack should have alarmed at least everyone within a hundred-mile radius.

His precious Qing’er was pregnant. With her not by his side, why was he out chasing after some useless longevity lock?

Thick demonic energy spread, the aura of a high-stage Demon Commander clearly permeating the cavern.

"Lady Theresa, are you... all right?" Besta, whose hairline had receded even further, looked at the white sphere that had pooled onto the laboratory table, speaking with concern.

Master Lu rarely skipped his teaching duties at the private school, but today he took a rare moment of leisure in the manor to rest. The two sisters were also by their father’s side, the family gathered together to talk and chat—though their conversation revolved entirely around the topic of Ji Li.

How could Xiao Yu not understand the meaning in Gu Jue’s eyes? But it was precisely because he understood that he felt angry. It was just like every time Gu Jue had flared up in front of him after saying he would leave the palace—the man who once checked the temperature of his water to ensure it wasn't too hot now didn't care about him at all.

Bu Tianzhi appeared on the deck of a large ship. Long Tao flew onto the ship, and Yun Yuzhen and Chen Laomou both rushed out from the cabins.

Once your wealth reaches a certain level, you will realize that you can enter any university as long as you have the money.

"Your Majesty! Let me go and deal with Hermes," Themis suddenly volunteered.

"However, there is a world of difference between a peak Dou Emperor and a true Dou Immortal!" Qin Tian roared, the brilliant black and white power manifesting on his body once again.
