Volume 1, Chapter 28: Can a Pretty Face Put Food on the Table?

Liu Yan did not know how he managed to survive that day, but one thing was certain: he was truly terrified of Lin Mengyao. If he had a choice, he would rather never see that girl again.

Bai Yanjun figured that since Gong Xifeng had grown up in the outside world, he did not understand the divine power of the Zong Sect, perhaps knowing only that the Tianya Continent held the Messengers of Light in high regard.

As they spoke, Miaomiao rowed to their destination, where the stench of blood was so strong that even the vast ocean could not cleanse it.

"How did the topic suddenly shift to discussing how much money is enough to be satisfied?" Wang Kun said as he sat on the sofa. Now everyone had returned to their initial office mode, all in one large room. This way, well, it was easier to chat.

Fragrant wildflowers and grasses swayed in the wind, and a stream gurgled with shimmering waves. Beneath a large tree, on a massive boulder, an ethereal elder with white hair and a white beard sat in deep meditation, the sunlight casting golden glimmers upon his white robes.

Third Master Yuan reacted instantly. Without even turning his head, he scooped up Liu Yucheng and moved away with two swift leaps.

Chen Xiaojie spoke for about ten minutes. Even Tang Qi had to admire his eloquence; even if there were a conspiracy involved, his words were completely flawless, making one feel that everything he said was perfectly reasonable.

"You don't even know how long you've been dead; for all you know, your old acquaintances might all be gone," Third Master Yuan muttered, feeling uneasy because his body was not under his own control. What if he got hurt?

Therefore, when Chen Xi emerged, he was met with the sight of Kolchak covered in blood, and the others with their power levels increased once more.

Looking at the gray-haired elder before him, Wang Kun truly doubted how many more years he could live. However, the moment he heard him speak, Wang Kun realized he was wrong—horribly wrong. His voice was so resonant, clearer and brighter even than many young men who spoke in soft, low tones.

"Hehe." Li Rou laughed, her dust-covered face breaking into such a brilliant smile that even Lisalaya was stunned.

Countless rock fragments erupted from the spot where the white light had fallen, trailing gray dust in their wake.

Although Qi Ming said this, Wen'er still felt uneasy. She did not understand what Qi Ming was planning, but subconsciously, she believed he would never harm her.

Yang Chen was terrified; he had never seen this person before, but it was clear that the man had come to kill him.

Yang realized that the great gate did not need to be opened; rather, it functioned through a barrier transport. Thus, the beams of light striking the cultivators were like strings tied to a puppet.

"What do you want?" As he spoke, Wu Jing stood up and retreated toward the door, while Wu Ye and Si Pao blocked his path.

Li Mengyan intentionally elevated her relationship with Li Zixiao from classmates to friends. Classmates were dispensable, requiring no words at all, but friends were different—at least there would be no barriers to conversation.

"Your master?" It seemed this master was cut from the same cloth as Steward An, both skilled at flattering others with practiced ease.

Then, she formed a seal with her hands and cast a supreme aura. An ancient tome glowing with divine light appeared in her hands and flew toward Ye Shaoxuan.

With lightning speed, Qi Ming struck down another evil cultivator. The last one had only just managed to knock away the iron spike.

"Bastard! Don't let me find him, or I will definitely kill him!" Wanda’s expression twisted into a snarl.

But Jiang Tiandao snatched the hoe from his hand without a word and began to work with vigorous strokes.

"I'm not going." Before leaving, Yang Shi thought for a moment, took ten catties of bear meat from his backpack, and handed it to Hayes.

The next day, the weather was fine. Warm sunlight shone through the doors and windows onto Zhang Hao’s face. He stretched and went downstairs.

The two young soldiers looked at Martin with confusion, appearing completely unable to process what was happening.

"Sister, thank you!" Kou Xi forced a smile, though her heart felt heavy. Old Mrs. Kou had loved her most in the world, yet she could not bring the old lady to live with her.

"Third Sister-in-law." Mrs. Xu had likely suffered a great deal outside; the moment she saw Lin Shu, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhang Hao was not nervous; in fact, he felt quite relaxed. The village’s cleanliness was impeccable; within the range of sight, there was no white trash to be seen, so there was no need for deliberate cleaning.

After leaving the doctor’s office, Chen Peng went to the ward to find his wife, while Zhou Zhiwei got into the car to return to the company.

That night, Zhou Zhiwei looked at his wife’s spoils and was baffled. Was she planning to switch professions and sell jewelry? Why were there so many beads?

Although Luo Gang did not know who had injured him at the embroidery convention, he was certain that the attacker was a master.

As for his willingness to share a wisp of netherfire, give away half his "authority," and even request that Bai Shu modify his perception, it was all because Mu Wanqiu was strong enough.

Xiao Yuncheng gripped the bottle with an expression of disgust; only he knew what he was truly thinking.

She glanced at the two, and seeing them staring at her with anxious expressions, she felt a warmth in her heart. "Alright, I'm ready to break through!" She smiled at them, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and whispered silently.

Xu Fang was clearly an honest man with a simple character and a kind heart. He had no ulterior motives, and having had the incredible luck to obtain a "Fate-type" sealed artifact, he didn't even know how to keep it hidden.

Deep-sea upgrade... Chu Ling was about to disconnect from him for a period to ensure her own safety.

The sky was beginning to brighten. The old servant did not stop his work, covering the coffin and restoring the grave to its original state, then hurried to help Su He walk into the valley.
