Chapter 129: Are You Human—or a Ghost?

Xu Yu demanded a raise, yet she was expected to slave away even while on vacation.

Ye Lin replied, "When will you become my personal assistant? I'll triple your salary."

Xu Yu teased, "Triple? That's not nearly enough. At least five times."

Ye Lin, in good spirits, chuckled, "Five times the salary for a loyal and devoted employee—that’s a bargain."

...

Many men believe that petite, delicate women are the best, but Xiao Zhan feels that a woman with a sharp, discerning tongue is the true prize.

However, Houtu is truly the Ancestral Witch of Earth, possessing unparalleled mastery over the power of the soil. With a mere wave of her hand, the laws of earth dissipated, and the punch crumbled into nothingness, vanishing without a trace.

Ling'er suddenly realized she had been used by Brother Yang. Still, she thought, this was for the best; she couldn't bear to see Brother Yang standing out here in the cold wind.

Kong Daozhen was talkative and had once ambushed Zhang You, leaving a deep impression on him. Even with a change of clothes, Zhang You recognized him at a glance.

"Sugar-coated bullets?" Lu Yun paused, never having heard the term before. It seemed to be another one of Li Hao's creative inventions.

As the successor to the Zhou family’s underground forces in Yizhou City, her years of tempering had endowed her with an imposing and powerful aura.

"Zicheng, are you truly determined to head to the grasslands?" After all, Zhang Rang was a man, and his primary concern was the motive behind such a colossal lie from Zhang You.

This was his sworn brother, Xiao Zhan’s sworn brother—it seemed he would have only this one in his entire life.

As for Ling Yunchao and Liang Sitao, being the strongest among them in terms of enhanced strength, they naturally took the lead, clearing the path while picking off the clusters of zombies.

Looking at the large red "Fu" character in the plaza, Qingfeng felt a bitter sense of irony. Dodging the vendors pushing incense and candles, he walked toward the Hall of Spiritual Officials within the palace with a grim face.

Unfortunately, the earlier tremors had destroyed the entire surveillance system, leaving William Stryker completely unaware of who had sabotaged his plans. Logically speaking, no one should have been able to infiltrate this base.

When narrow roads meet, the brave prevail. Especially when the strength of both sides is evenly matched, you must either be more ruthless than your opponent or admit defeat.

"Her name is Nebula, and she will be staying on Earth from now on. If she needs anything, please help her if you can," Teska said simply.

At the boundary river between the Eastern and Northern Domains, the aquatic army came to a halt. After the Kraken ordered the entire army to return to the Northern Domain via the river, he rushed back toward Pingcheng with the remaining aquatic quasi-emperors. Clearly, he had realized the crisis that would emerge if they left while the Kunpeng was still present.

"This red robe is much more handsome than the one I wore at our wedding. Why didn't I choose better back then?" Su Mu muttered with a helpless pout.

However, being handsome is useless. Given this suicidal pose on the edge of the building, who knows if he’s just a disgruntled employee looking to demand back pay from Justin Hammer? For all we know, he might have a belt of explosives under that costume, ready to scream something and take everyone down with him.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Guan Qihua hurriedly checked her limbs and features.

Gu Santong let out a sharp cry and waved his palms in the air. Su Xin was drawn from the ice coffin by an invisible force into his hands. Immediately, streams of chilling energy surged from Su Xin’s body into Gu Santong’s. His complexion shifted from ruddy to pale, then from pale to a ghastly cyan-blue.

If something had truly happened to Xiao Chenyun and the others, the people in the Longevity Palace would certainly never let them off.

Mingyue gazed into the distance, seeing the valley shrouded in thin mist, with vast patches of colorful, uniquely shaped medicinal herbs scattered throughout. The air was heavy with the rich, lingering fragrance of various herbs.

Her clothes were all made with the help of Senior Sister Fanny, and her shoes were no exception. They were modeled after high-top canvas sneakers, but with soles crafted from the tough hide of a Wind-Winged Magical Snake, making her movements feel lighter and more agile.
