Chapter 48: Little Cabbage Was Cornered by the Fox
Sang Fuying cast a glance downward, catching sight of the well-defined abdominal muscles. Darkness instantly clouded her vision, and something exploded from the depths of her heart, a wave of shame washing over her entire body.
Breaking free from the hand around her waist, she dove beneath the quilt and let out a scream. Recalling the events of the previous night without even looking at the face of the person beside her, she scolded, "Yuan Hejing, you bastard!"
Even though the original owner of the body had known him and truly promised to be with him, she was the one currently inhabiting this vessel, and she found it impossible to accept this development right away.
Ping'er, who had been lost in thought in the room, heard the commotion and had just stood up when she saw Lu Chen pulling Ling'er straight in through the door.
Where was Magistrate Yu? As for the arresting duties, the county lieutenant was handling them; logically speaking, there shouldn't have been matters keeping him busy for the entire day.
The recruitment team's operations had completely gotten onto the right track. Whether it was conducting recruitment campaigns or contacting schools and students in advance, everything had become second nature.
"!!" Muzan opened his eyes abruptly, a suffocating sensation gripping his heart, and he instinctively severed the connection to his vision.
Zhou Shenghao felt a stir in his heart. If the ten-evil formation demon had appeared in this cultivation world, then many things could be explained, and he naturally understood why a heaven-and-earth prison existed here.
If all these gold ingots were refined into pure gold, they should weigh more than sixty tons. Based on the current gold price of over one hundred yuan per gram, this amounted to nearly seven billion in cash.
After exchanging a few words with Yang Zhiqiang, he hung up the phone. True to form, Yang Zhiqiang hadn't slept well all night—in fact, he hadn't slept at all! Sure enough, people from Kyoto and even many regions across the Xia State had reached out—some pleading for leniency, others exerting pressure. He had recorded every single one of them and then forwarded the information to Kyoto.
But Chu Bufan was different; even before joining the martial arts academy, he had sparred with the puppets in the Trial Pagoda and fought them to a standstill.
The funds he could allocate here amounted to a total of fifty million, yet Shen Yin had arrived right at this critical juncture. Consequently, he had no more money to add even if he wanted to, leaving him flustered for a moment.
Having a one-on-one duel with Lu Hui was already problematic for me, and facing so many people made me even less of a match. After putting up a brief resistance, I was reduced to a human target. Liu Qian and Peng Yuxin came to help me together, but Lu Hui blocked them both, leaving them powerless to assist.
Tang Huaijin was very familiar with Nanyu's previous daily routine; he knew all her living habits, yet he had no idea that she now found even eating to be such a difficult task.
"Didn't your colleague specially visit the tutoring center to question my son earlier? It's the same this time—going from door to door, asking in every single household. Fair and square, wouldn't you say!" Qin Yichen smiled with an eerie expression.
Indeed, Immortal Doctor Han's medical skills were truly remarkable. Although the ingredients used in this bowl of Spirit-Returning Decoction were simple, they were reasonably proportioned—neither too much nor too little. The combination of various medicinal properties was indeed capable of curing the injuries on his body.
Immediately afterward, Ye Qing transmitted all the information regarding the existence of the Dragon Group, the Martial Group, the Four Great Families, and the Four Great Sects in this world into Zhou Yihui's memory.
Following that, Duan Zhengming prepared several dozen horses along with some soldiers, heading toward the Valley of Wanhuai with high morale.
However, Zhang Tingting's actions were also understandable. After all, she and I could not yet be considered true lovers; she probably acted out of desperate loneliness and resorted to this last resort. The question then was: should I agree or not? The reason I was hesitant was that I still wanted to go on a date with Peng Yuxin today.
Magistrate Zhang personally led the way for the Emperor, guiding the Emperor and Consort Yang, along with Prince Consort Li, Daoist Priest Xiao, Senior Imperial Physician He, He Changhai, and others, as they arrived at that inn.
"Liu Qin, please calm down. The young man doesn't know any better and just made a slip of the tongue. Have a sip of tea," Xiao Changfeng said, seeing that Liu Qin was unrelenting, hurriedly pouring a cup of hot tea and offering it to her ingratiatingly.
The immortals on the iron ship were also quite astonished, because they could not perceive any magic power fluctuations in the red light emanating from Ares, yet that red light was capable of instantly magnifying Ares's strength attribute fivefold.
"Oh, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, we're here!" Zhao Ding, accompanied by Zhao Xiang, climbed up the mountain from below, panting heavily.
Li Shimin always heeded Wei Zheng's advice, so after a bitter smile bloomed on his dark face, he ordered a eunuch to serve Sun Wukong various rare fruits.
Hao Zhishen grabbed the great turtle by its tail, used the technique of Cloud-Stepping Eight Steps, and effortlessly returned to the shore.
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded slightly, then said, "I obtained something and don't know if it will be of any help to you. Have a look."
After chatting with his parents until dawn, Xiao Yu watched his child change into a school uniform and happily depart for school before finally leaving the house himself.
Indeed, as he took in Zheng Yu's flourishing momentum and overwhelming presence, as well as Wu Xiang and the others' worry, anxiety, anger, and helplessness, Ye Xuan's unwavering silence from beginning to end remained evident to all.
After he and Edward exchanged a few moves back and forth, leaving only three seconds before Edward's time limit for ball possession expired, Edward suddenly bent his knees, twisted his body, and flipped from the side of West Courtyard No. 1 to its back. As soon as he landed, he passed the ball to the shooting guard.
He couldn't take it anymore; at the mere thought of this, Mixiang herself shivered with a cold shudder, a chill running down her spine as she felt it was all too terrifying.
"What kind of mission?" Ye Fan grew increasingly curious, considering he rarely saw Mulan Hua troubled to this extent by a mission.
This day was designated for everyone to gather and take their creative graduation photos. Unlike Su Ning, who had already taken hers and therefore lacked anticipation, the others were extremely excited. The custom-made class outfits ordered online had already arrived.
Coincidentally, he knew An Qimin because he intended to work at An Qimin's company after graduation. Encountering An Qimin here allowed him to meet his future boss in advance.
With a loud "bang," the two True Essence Stage 6 thunder martial artists instantly vanished, leaving two particles of light adhering to the surface of his skin.
Ye Chengwei captured the shift in the battle-crazed deity's expression. Before he could even open his mouth to ask, his consciousness gradually blurred and he slipped into a deep slumber.
In any case, Lin Jie kept talking about getting married while never actually proposing to her, leaving her with no other recourse.
For instance, if you tell him that Li Jian's weak hybrid world-class style is constantly overlooked, yet his strong hybrid style is also top-tier.
An Qimin gently clapped his hands, causing the entire venue to quiet down instantly, no longer resembling a bustling vegetable market.
Uchiha Itachi's body was controlled by Shisui for a split second, and after introducing himself, Shisui returned control of the body back to Uchiha Itachi.
"How can you just spill such an important matter so casually! You should at least..." Wei Yudao looked at Wu Yun and suddenly wore a cunning smile, leaving Wu Yun completely dumbfounded and involuntarily reminded of a fox's grin.
Upon hearing Bai Xi's words, Zhong Jie did not hesitate at all. He nodded directly, indicating that he indeed wanted to know why Bai Xi possessed such formidable strength yet still chose to remain here.
Back then, Hua Luanfeng and Ye Ku knew that Mo Yang had deployed a clone. Originally, the clone should have arrived at the Xuanwu Flying Boat long ago, but when they left, the clone was missing. Therefore, the new vessel for his primordial spirit was most likely that very clone.
This caused the somewhat noisy classroom to quiet down instantly. Even though it was merely the new students' registration day, the classroom was packed to capacity, imparting a sense of orderly arrangement under the circumstances.
