Volume 1, Chapter 26: I, Cui Heng, Keep My Word

"So what if your cultivation technique is unique? How much spiritual energy could you possibly refine even if you were given two weeks of unrestricted consumption? But since you dared to scheme against me, I suppose I should return the favor, shouldn't I?" Daoist Yiqing suddenly let out a sinister, cold hum and called over a disciple to give a few instructions.

He had been filled with anticipation, hoping for a call from Shen Aoning, but the moment he picked up his phone, the indescribable excitement on his face instantly froze.

Beiming got out of the car, observed the flowing air in the surrounding world, and, ignoring Luo Qingxue, fell deep into thought.

Things had been fun with Taeyeon in the United States, but with Tiffany, although there was that farce at the motel, it wasn't exactly intimate. Afterward, he hadn't taken it too seriously.

Moreover, religions in South Korea are numerous and diverse: Buddhism, Protestantism, Catholicism, and even the rather bizarre, native Shamanism.

In the center of the secret chamber, there were countless green plants covered in flowers—these were the Heartless Flowers. Yet, beneath every plant lay a withered corpse; these plants were growing directly out of people's hearts, looking utterly macabre.

Han Yaru did not hide this matter from Leng Zixuan. After hearing it, Leng Zixuan simply kissed her, saying he would respect her decision, but urged her to take care of her safety and come home early.

She could not smoke, could not drink, could not let her family find out, and even more so, could not let her ranking fall out of the top ten. She was exhausted, especially during the final sprint toward the college entrance exam.

This song was one she had written casually in her past life. She had sung it on a whim while performing at Meise, and logically, no one should have ever seen this song that had never reached the public eye. She had relied on this fact to be so fearless, yet someone was actually so obsessively trying to find the composer.

"You scared me, what was that?" Zhao Yi had not been idle for the past half-month, constantly planning for the S-group's concert. Upon hearing that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling sleepy, he let out a yawn.

The atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive. The doctor did not know why the man had become so gloomy after taking a phone call, but he kept his eyes on his work, silently applying the medicine without a word.

"If the Second Young Master has no urgent business ahead, why not grace the banquet hall with your presence for a drink? You and the Master haven't sat down for a proper chat in a long time. It would be a good opportunity to bridge the gap between father and son, don't you think?" Luo Sen added.

Seeing Su Qianlang's bloodthirsty smile and recalling the scene from that day, everyone couldn't help but shudder, their stomachs churning in spasms.

Ah K had once said that Feng Ling's marksmanship was superb; it was his gun that had been used to save Ah K back then.

When she sat before Teacher Gu again, the teacher handed her a cup of hot water and gently pressed her shoulders with his hands.

The courtyard was different from the Lin family’s or Xiao Garden; it lacked that sense of luxury, replaced by a simplicity that made one feel quite comfortable.

In an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, Xiao Yixuan and Lan Qianya sat opposite each other. Lan Qianya wore a triumphant smile, talking incessantly, while Xiao Yixuan kept flipping his phone over and over in his hands, nodding occasionally as if responding to her.

Feng Junyao lowered his head, his deep eyes hidden in the shadows. Song Yuan could not see his expression, only the undried tear tracks on his cheeks and his fists clenched so tightly that the veins were bulging.

"My eyes still require your treatment; I will not return within three days," Song Yuan wrote on Feng Junyi's palm.

As it happened, Zuyue possessed fire-attribute primordial energy within his body, which perfectly countered the metal-attribute primordial energy and zero-force.

It was so incredibly tender. The master chef's knife skills were excellent; the meat was sliced as thin as paper, and one could see through it when picked up. Back in Wang Jun's era, such meat was impossible to find.

Briefly explaining the current situation, Lin Chengyun instructed each enterprise to make preparations, strengthen security, scale back operations, and stockpile cash.

In the Security Department's command hall, Quan Bin saw that the ransom had been uploaded and immediately raised the alert level, ordering everyone to keep a constant watch on Qilin Mountain.

This journey was one of immense hardship, but Jian Feidao was only here to retrieve medicine for a friend. If he could achieve this without resorting to violence, that would naturally be for the best.

With that, Qin Fan pulled a needle as fine as an ox hair from his sleeve. With a rub of his fingers, a blue flame suddenly ignited on the tip.

Only the members of the Song family remained, petrified in place like strips of cured meat hanging from rafters, so stiff that they couldn't squeeze out a single expression.

Venturing deeper inside, all sorts of strange things appeared, such as fire-crested birds that would bow to people incessantly, and pelicans taller than a person.

Everything praised Luo Yujie's chivalry and heroic deeds, while not a single word was mentioned about Luo Qiheng.

At this moment, a phone ringtone echoed from the corner, interrupting the conversation between Lin Feng and Xia Ruoxi. As luck would have it, their ringtones were identical. Hearing the sound, they couldn't tell whose phone it was and both began searching for their own.

"Five days from now, in the afternoon, we trade at the Earth Temple five kilometers south of the county town. Hmph, this Nakagawa Eiichi is truly cunning; he knows how to pick a spot," Yu Genshan mused, as if speaking to himself.

While speaking, the old man raised his hand to check the medicinal herbs in his other hand. Seeing they were still there, he immediately relaxed.

A powerful suction force suddenly appeared right in front of Lin Ying, as if it intended to swallow the five brothers whole. Lin Ying suddenly spoke up.

Li Si sighed helplessly. At this moment, he never expected such a thing to happen; it could be said that they were extremely astonished.
