Volume 1, Chapter 25: You Had Better Hold Onto Me Tight

"Put Shen Yixiao on the phone!" I commanded, my tone firm.

Lu Xiaoyun replied with a tone of feigned difficulty, "But I don't know where Mr. Shen went. I didn't get out of the car with him."

"Can't you get out and look for him?" I knew Lu Xiaoyun was doing this on purpose. If it weren't for the trouble Chen Hao was causing right in front of me, I would have hung up immediately.

A confused sound came from Lu Xiaoyun's end. "Hello? Madam? Can you hear me? Why is there no sound?"

Before I could speak again, the call was disconnected.

Chen Hao watched my every move. Once I hung up, he flashed a lecherous grin. "Men, they’re all the same..."

When he arrived, he found the hospital room packed like a tin of sardines with curious doctors and nurses, which nearly made his mustache twitch in fury.

Qianyue and Luomeitingxue obediently boarded the station carriage, while Junyingjieyu mounted a black horse, and the three headed toward the teleportation point.

Beyond anything else, if she were fired, Gu Huan couldn't imagine how she would continue to linger in this building. Who knew what the situation was like outside?

As soon as this thought arose, those strands of hair gathered together, standing upright and slowly moving toward Gu Huan, seemingly attempting to surround her.

Monkey, whose real name was Hou Ziqiang, had been a top student back in his school days. He was warm-hearted and an organizer of various activities, but he only associated with people who were useful to him, not even sparing a glance for those he deemed insignificant.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here, I will protect you, Second Brother," Helian Junjie said, stroking Helian Haohan, who was frightened out of his wits.

He didn't see what kind of tree it was even when he reached it. He tossed the wild rabbit down, and at that moment, the "whoosh" of an air rifle rang out. Zhao Aiguo, however, was no longer afraid and strode forward.

Yu Baize didn't let go of her hand. While contemplating his earlier state, he subconsciously rubbed his fingers gently against the back of her hand.

"Just stand there and talk. I've been swamped with matters in the manor lately. Once I finish what my sister asked me to do, I have to go back and rest," Min'er said, handing the letters in her arms to Suyunda.

Trying to take the bag from Fujino's hand, Leng Pingsheng looked at the person in front of him as if he couldn't get enough, his face full of doting affection.

He didn't know what to do. Still young, he had yet to see Jiraiya, who hoped for the arrival of peace, and Nagato, who hoped to understand pain through pain.

The priests and paladins guarding the temple rushed forward to bless the golem, which was acting as the pillar of strength, with various divine buffs. Unfortunately, the coral golem could not be healed; surrounded by sea slugs, many of its coral branches were broken, and it was clearly severely damaged.

Whether it was the azure coastline of Jeju Island, the slightly dilapidated buildings, or the wild grass growing all around, everything was so full of atmosphere. Of course, if a monster were to appear now, it would seem quite fitting.

"Alright..." Iruka let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead with some exhaustion, and handed the hyacinth, which seemed unchanged, to Tazuna.

Li Hao gave Lin Jie a sideways glance and said, "I won't call you brother-in-law. My sister follows you around all day; does that mean she's pursuing you? I’m the leader of a large guild with nearly ten thousand people, give me some face." With that, Li Hao went offline. It seemed he was going to report the negotiations to Huazou.

The entire competition venue erupted in cheers, as if Lu Xue had already been crowned; everyone was overjoyed.

Lovers often express their intimacy through many specific ways, but the way these two did it still refreshed everyone's understanding.

The ancient castle ancestor appeared as a skeleton, seemingly unable to recover. His eyes gleamed; he was, in fact, a pauper. He agreed with Wu Yazi’s words—since he was poor and possessed great strength, robbing some cultivation sects was nothing strange at all.

The White Bone Spirit indicated that she didn't care; she only needed to hold onto her inner core and circulate the sacred chapters from the Great Path Celestial Art. There were many sacred chapters among the Gates of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and she had practiced quite a few. She used them in turn, leaving the Heavenly Demon frantic and utterly frustrated.

After scraping together 30 million and paying the land transfer fee, Zhang Chen gained the right to dispose of that ten thousand square meters of land. He originally thought the general manager of the Unicom branch would come to talk to him about building a signal tower, but after waiting for a few days, there was still no movement from that side.

"Petroleum is a black liquid buried underground, also known as black oil. It is extremely flammable, and once a fire starts, it is unstoppable," Shen Ning explained.

Mu Lei’s intentions were naturally good, but the Capital Base had a massive connection to Ge Yinyin, and they didn't want to risk their lives for her.

The next day, Fang Yu thought he would feel somewhat unnatural facing Lin Su, as the question from yesterday was not much different from a confession, but Lin Su treated him exactly as she always did, which made Fang Yu feel inexplicably irritable.

"That's for sure, look who her master is!" Mantou said with excitement. But as soon as it thought of its master's newly awakened spiritual power as a Spirit Master, it felt ashamed.

Lü Dongbin was known as the Sword Immortal and possessed extraordinary talent in the way of the sword. That sword strike was imposing enough to split a mountain, yet it couldn't handle a giant hand of divine power, which was truly shocking and dealt a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

After hearing what I said, the man sneered, then very pretentiously lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After taking two puffs, he walked slowly toward Lu Fan and me.

"But what about the Fu family? You said it yourself, Prime Minister Fu would absolutely never agree," Zhang Jiucheng couldn't help but remind him.

"I should have had her and those three slave girls beaten to death!" Lu Qingying touched her swollen cheek. If Xia Baihe weren't still alive, would she have to suffer this kind of humiliation?

It was precisely because he deeply understood all of this that Ye Qingfeng now regretted it. Why had he been so persistent, and why had he brought them to the Yin-Yang Sect?

"Qianxuan, you didn't go home last night? Did you sleep in the infirmary?" An Seyan asked while running. She knew that when she got up in the middle of the night, she had seen the light still on in Xu Qing's room—she must have been waiting for this girl to come home, right?

Seeing this, Gu Chen frowned. Pu Su thought Gu Chen had discovered Han Qiqi sleeping in class, so he pushed even harder.

But this time, Leng Keke was stunned and opened her mouth wide again. Lin Zhongyue was dazed and subconsciously couldn't help but look at Li Shihao beside him.

Li Haorui, with his arm around his wife's shoulders, felt that finding the main power switch was a matter of luck. Hearing everyone's cheers, he decided to talk about his silent contribution at the morning meeting the next day.

Meanwhile, Park Sun-che, walking from the opposite direction, also saw the man. When the two brushed past each other, time seemed to freeze at that moment. In that instant, they locked eyes for a few seconds before a companion called out to Park Sun-che, snapping him back to reality, but the person had already passed by.
