Volume 1, Chapter 38: Let’s Sleep Together, A-Yan

Although Liang Jiang still felt shaken, she continued to play out the “hero rescuing the beauty” scene she had planned from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Latios hovered in midair. Wisps of orange-red light slowly gathered in its abdomen, eventually forming a blazing sphere as hot as fire.

At that moment, the green-haired man took a one-inch photograph from his pocket and handed it to a fit soldier in a green uniform.

“My relationship with Chen is none of your concern. Just mind your own business. And what about the two of you over there? Are you still planning to make a move? You should know that the two of you are no match for me.”

Athena shifted her attention back to Lingyu and Ziru.

Ding Yu’s eyes widened. She shook off Gu Fei’s hand and quickly retreated, watching her warily.

Zhang Shan let out a muffled roar and attacked with both hands and feet. His strength rivaled that of a polar bear. The black cat that had closed in on him was struck again and again, sent flying into the stone wall, and smashed into a bloody, shapeless heap.

The Lisboa Hotel was a casino in its own right: the upper floors were for lodging, while the lower floors housed the casino. After leaving the room, Su Qing held onto Tu Tian’s arm and walked straight past the casino toward the outside, laughing as she went.

“Captain, are you talking about me?” Du Qiangwei asked timidly, suddenly lacking confidence. Surely she had not yet reached the point where merely seeing blood could make her a marquis, had she?

As though sensing Shadow Demon’s thoughts, Gaia Rock let out a roar, as if declaring that it could endure it. The red flames surrounding its body also blazed to their utmost, ready to receive Shadow Demon’s next command.

The instant the gray steel dragon charged toward the blood tide, it was swept backward. It had not even managed to impede the tide in the slightest. Vatra gritted his teeth as a destructive torrent of magical power, far denser than before, surged from his entire body.

“Sister Dandan, did you sleep well last night?” Tu Tian slowed his pace to wait for Song Dandan and chatted idly with her.

Yang Ming watched Chen Yushu’s antics with amusement. The fiery policewoman was clearly tormenting him on purpose; she probably hoped that he and Brother Jin would get into a fight.

Before long, the stage lights flashed and music began to play. Two hosts walked onto the stage and enthusiastically introduced the theme of the evening’s banquet. The proceedings were as formal as a televised New Year’s gala.

Although Yang Zhen had said that forbidden arts were unworthy of comparison with the Innate Pill, his eyes remained fixed on the pill, revealing just how desperately he yearned for it.

The director of the Office of Education, Huan Qizhang, had been promoted to deputy bureau chief. The decision had already been made at a leadership meeting for officials above the middle level. No matter how capable Sun Zhaoming was, there was nothing he could do.

The Creator maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was already frantic. His cultivation had not yet fully recovered, while his vital essence continued to be depleted. Although Long You had vanished, the attempt to detonate the Great Luo Nascent Soul had failed. If Chen Ting refined him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After saying this, the Flying Azure Spirit walked toward the nearest Elder Xieyun. It extended its long hand, preparing to seize the elder and savor him properly.

When Cai Zhixiong and Shang’er began chatting, Cai Xin and Third Brother busied themselves with their respective tasks. Third Brother went to build a fire and roast meat, while Cai Xin took a bowl and prepared to make soup.

Zhang Ling shook his head. As for his memories of the auction, he remembered only that the mysterious man in the black robe had an immense connection with his enemy. He had no recollection at all of how he had lost consciousness or returned here.

After a long silence, the man in the brown shirt finally suppressed his urge to seize it by force. Although he was confident he could subdue the other party, any leak of information would deal a devastating blow to the reputation of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion.
