41 What to Do When Everyone Is Straight 06

"Monkey," he said, "our Xianghu Brigade is a force of resistance against Japan. The Samsung Island of today is no longer the gang organization it once was. From the moment we retook the island from the Japanese invaders, we became a resistance force. The surrounding water highlands are all our base areas."

His status within the family remained insecure, and his younger brother Hu Dadi’s ambitions were growing by the day. It was foreseeable that, in time, a conflict between the brothers would be inevitable.

"Dinner! It better not be shredded potato over rice again! Last year, you fed me shredded potato for one meal and Mapo tofu for the next. If you’re playing host today, you’ve got to do better—a true grand feast would be best."

Li Tianrui exchanged three top-tier immortal artifacts, five hundred portions of premium medicinal herbs, and an unconditional promise to fulfill one request for Qin Ning in return for her so-called assistance.

While keeping a sharp lookout for any signs of trouble, Pan Haodong watched the Iron Lady washing herself through his divine sense, a lecherous, wicked grin spreading across his handsome face, making him look utterly vulgar.

Lan Ruohao’s tone was so snide and sarcastic that Hai Yidong felt even more uneasy. He turned his gaze toward Hai Ruoxi, who stood beside him; could she truly have done something?

Twenty-three degrees north latitude, one hundred seventeen degrees east longitude—these were the coordinates of the shipwreck Ye Feng had located: the freighter *Awa Maru*.

Moreover, even if a gang intended to strike while they were transporting the jade to the airport, it wouldn't reach the point of installing eavesdropping devices in their hotel room; that was completely unnecessary.

I am not joking; I truly feel it very clearly. The intense physical discomfort fills me with shock and terror, and my heart is pounding violently—it is unbearable.

Qin Tian estimated that by the time the process was over, he wouldn't even be able to keep this plastic basin.

"Keep this safe for me, Liu Liu. Give it back to me when I propose," Song Lin said, placing a diamond ring in front of me after paying the bill.

The Perfect Ultron’s vibranium body shone with a green halo. Protected by the Time Stone, it remained unscathed even at the epicenter of the explosion.

Upon hearing the news, the Crown Princess bit through another silk handkerchief, lamenting only that she was not the one who had gone to the temple to pray for blessings.

The medical equipment at the general hospital had been donated to the state by Wu Aiguo in the name of the Wang family. As for the cost of these devices, China’s current foreign exchange reserves would certainly not have been enough to afford them.

The White Fox transformed into Qing Zhilan and appeared in all her bewitching glory. Qingge feigned being entranced; the immediate priority was to uncover the creature's true nature.

Just as this sensation emerged in my heart, a sharp pain struck my neck. I snapped back to reality instantly.

Following a chorus of shouts from the members of the Three Ultimates Sect, several figures charged toward Mo Jingyun.

The two had been away from the capital for two months, including their journey back. Yan Ruomeng’s period of house arrest had long since passed, and she returned to her habit of visiting her tavern whenever she had a spare moment.

Chen Yu dumped the leftovers from her tray onto Yu Niao’s, then handed over a high-sugar milkshake she hadn't taken a single sip of.

Liang Jing, who was nearing her due date, saw that it was time to get off work. She stood by the hospital entrance with her heavy belly, waiting for Wu Aiguo’s arrival.

Many were destined to remain sleepless this night. The accidental death of an Admiral—and the fact that this had happened to someone of such status—was a resounding slap in the face to the entire global elite, and the worst part was that they didn't even know who had done it.

Surrounding the high platform were concentric circles of seats. The further the seats were from the platform, the higher they were, ensuring that everyone could see the auction items with perfect clarity.

"What exactly do you want?" After a long silence, a muffled, gravelly voice came from beneath his feet; it must have been Anubis speaking out of frustration.

Although this Fire Dragon Seed was hard to come by, its nature as a common herb limited its value. It had only fetched a high price because of the rumor that it was on the verge of extinction. He hadn't expected to encounter two people with money to burn.

It was clear that this attack on the government forces was not as simple as mere bombs. However, in our eyes, it was futile. Regardless of the attackers' goals or their numbers, they were doomed. Surrounded by so many soldiers, they had no chance of escape; such an attack was clearly unwise.

Sun Cheng was injured, but it was nothing severe. Relying on the formidable resilience of his Dragon-Transformation body, he would recover in a matter of moments.

These outer territories were a true death trap for humans. Not to mention a martial artist at the Yuan Martial stage like Sun Cheng, even experts at the Spirit Martial stage dared not venture here. Only those at a higher level, like the true masters of the Profound Martial stage, would occasionally delve into these depths.

"Captain, aside from those blown to pieces, all the bodies are here," Grizzly said, dropping the final corpse onto the ground and reporting to his captain.

"Alright, stop the chatter, it’s about time we head out!" his wife said, walking over to straighten Chang Fei’s clothes.

"Now, now, Master, no need to rush. Naraku is right here and won't be running away. There’s no need to be in such a hurry to erase him; he is still useful to me," the Blue Lantern Ghost said with a sweet smile, shaking her lantern staff. From within the lantern, the faint, wailing screams of Naraku’s soul could be heard.

Lu Yao’s actions were intended for no other reason than to help Qing Yao by weakening her opponent. In truth, Lu Yao could have spared herself the trouble; even without being weakened, her opponent would still be no match for Qing Yao.

Perhaps sensing my intense rejection, Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and chuckled, then pointed to the pool of water to offer me an explanation.

"No matter who it is, or how powerful an outsider they may be, they’ll have to bow their heads before the Liang family once they arrive here! This isn't the first powerful outsider the Liang family has crushed, and it won't be the last," another person added.

City Lord Jiao Bo and the old Daoist Duobao, who had remained silent until now, also gazed at Fuxi with hopeful expressions.

Without even a chance to defend herself, she could only bear the reputation of an ingrate and become a social pariah; it was better to return to her old house for some peace and quiet.

When Mu Xing arrived, there happened to be a seat next to the class monitor, Zheng Xiao, so she walked over and sat down.

As soon as everyone heard that what they had just experienced was a new weapon, their eyes instantly lit up.

The Longqing Emperor did not believe it, and Gu Siye ordered the carriage to change direction and head straight for the manor; soaking in the hot springs would be quite comfortable right now.

But thinking of the significant contributions he had made toward clearing her maternal grandfather’s name, and knowing that the political career he dreamed of would not see any major improvement until the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she forcibly restrained herself.

Moreover, on the first four feet, there were three claws on the front, positioned at the center and the two slanted sides, making the force quite dispersed.

Watching the various ideas pass through her mind, Jia Long felt her heart drum with anxiety, fearing that the 'Guardian' might really make her do such a thing.
