Chapter 42 All For Nothing

Moreover, such items were by no means rare in ordinary households. After all, with the industrialized neighbor close by, all their supplies had to rely on sheer manual labor. Additionally, Zhao Weimin had a major problem: he had encroached upon someone else's small wooden cabin. Although it was just a fragile little shack that could barely keep out the wind and rain, it had, after all, been left behind by a former hunter.

What broke her heart the most was that her stepmother actually claimed she was not her father's biological child. But then, who truly was her father? She longed so deeply for the warmth of a family, yet now her footsteps had wandered past its borders, and that sense of familial warmth was fading further and further away from her.

Qiushi seemed too "afraid" to raise any objections. Obediently, he picked up the root carving and turned to leave. A minute later, he returned to the basement empty-handed, telling Lan Qin that he had already tossed the root carving onto the lawn outside the house.

Luo Zixiong made a fierce and sudden move, his five fingers spread wide, and lunged like lightning toward Jiang Yi's shoulder. Fine, razor-sharp sparks burst from his fingertips—they were sonic waves condensed into piercing threads of sound, possessing a lethality comparable to lightning.

"This is the Star Luo Sea, bordering the Outer Wilderness. Legend has it that this sea is boundless, but as long as you cross it, you can reach the legendary Outer Wilderness. It is a very peculiar place," Yishang explained patiently to Zhuang Xun.

Another type of flame I found is called Solar Flame, also known as the Sun Flame, Pure Yang Flame, Sacred Flame, Solar Serene Flame, and so on. I can be certain that this flame definitely exists, and I even know its exact location.

Returning to his quarters, he found the place completely ransacked. In a panic, he rushed over to the hiding spot where he had stored the gold bars alongside Jin Haichuan, only to find it entirely empty.

"Old Master Long's corpse has been tampered with! Continuing the soul-return ritual is dangerous!" I quickly raised a hand toward Lan Qin's adoptive father, gesturing for him not to fly into a rage just yet.

Li Yanran clenched her teeth. Night Qingge was slapping her in the face. Her original intention had been to test Night Qingge, but it seemed that Night Qingge was a potential threat.

In the world of darkness, Lan Ruo's right eye saw everything with absolute clarity. He was the undisputed master of the dark realm.

As Duan Chenglang stepped out of the courtyard and made his way toward Beixinqiao, because it was a day off and everyone had plenty of leisure time, not only the usual idle grandpas and grandmas on the street enthusiastically and curiously greeted him to ask about his situation.

Ruan Yunsheng bought some daily necessities and then went to meet up with Xiao Yi and the others. Just as she turned into an alley, someone clamped a hand firmly over her mouth from behind. She hurriedly whisked the items in her hands into her spatial storage—they could take her life, but the snacks she wanted to eat were absolutely off-limits.

The next second, over a dozen blazing feathers rushed forward like a flock of indomitable flame phoenixes, crashing toward the swiftly retreating figure of the Blood Demon.

Wang An had lost his previous composure, appearing somewhat frantic, while deep within his gaze lurked a hint of lingering terror.

Song Yili could not hear a single word of what Sang Yuejing and Luo Xichu were discussing; all he registered was Ji Su'er stating that she did not have anyone she liked.

At this moment, he was certain that the lingering figure of Lin Ying inside the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers was nothing more than a wisp of residual soul she had left behind.

Meeting up the next morning, aside to Wang Jifu, there were seven or eight young men chatting excitedly about something. Some carried backpacks, while others held wooden sticks resembling walking canes.

Li Tangtang had heard Lu Chiyan say those words the last time they ate hot pot, but she hadn't expected that she would really introduce a boyfriend to Ji Su'er.

The team from the Yau Ma Tei Police Station was led by Huang Ziyang, and Ye Rongjiu had no idea whether the other party had deliberately waited for the Flying Tigers to arrive before showing up.

Seeing this, Ye Rongjiu decided to stop wasting time with him and snapped his fingers: "Let the game officially begin."

He cared about Mindai, and Mindai naturally cared about him as well. If Mindai were to find out what His Imperial Majesty had said, she would surely feel deeply upset.

She had paid great attention to skincare during her pregnancy. If one didn't look closely, those faint, faded stretch marks were completely invisible, especially since her skin was naturally very fair to begin with.

After months of getting along, surely no one understood Song Nian'an's obsession with sleep better than he did.

The evil cultivators lingering on the outer periphery charged without hesitation toward the void ruins. Even though the ruins held dangers, being struck by that azure beam of light was out of the question; after all, knowledgeable individuals present had already recognized that azure beam as the Immortal Stage Sect's supreme divine weapon—the Kui-Ice Divine Thunder.

Ming Xuan chuckled silently to herself. Though unfortunate in romance herself, she truly took endless delight in playing matchmaker.

"Me? A genius of facial expressions?" Song Nian'an pointed at herself in disbelief. Was there really such a bizarre title?

His perspective was inherently pessimistic, yet at times it yielded positive effects. Because Bashelun's mind was governed by fatalism, he felt no great anguish; instead, he possessed the disposition of a righteous warrior meeting his final hour—bold, upright, and untroubled. Viewed from this perspective, he was truly a real man.

When he was returning from his family to his sect, he encountered a luscious spirit beast near the sect's territory. Driven by his appetite, he went to capture it. During the capture, however, he accidentally discovered that an array formation was concealed around the Heavenly Array Sect.

"Does this thing require registration? I remember you saying you would be my referrer. I thought I only needed to quietly wait for that day," Anyang said in surprise.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Bei felt as though a thunderbolt had struck him from the blue, his mind instantly plunging into chaos. He hurried back to Liu Yu and Liu Fei to share the information.

Remembering what Qin Hao had just said, Cheng Wushuang fell into deep thought. The current Red Flame Dynasty was undoubtedly a piece of meat that everyone wanted a bite of.

Recruiting personnel was handled by the managers of various commercial firms, so Zhu Ming naturally had no access to such matters. Thinking that since he couldn't find Wu Song, he might as well find a few other usable men.

"By the way, Mother-in-law, you mentioned that you gained your current strength by absorbing massive amounts of spiritual energy from those devices. Does that mean if you have enough spiritual crystals, your strength could become even greater?" At that moment, a thought suddenly struck Lin Yun, his eyes brightening as he asked hurriedly.

Below, even with the strength of Great Elder Xu Qian and Master Xingchen, their pupils suddenly contracted as they gazed in astonishment toward the sky.

Hearing Pan Mei's words, Shi Shouxin did not refute him, though in his heart he felt little agreement. He had dealt with Wen Qirang many times; although Wen Qirang appeared youthful and unconstrained in his actions, he always managed to pull back his momentum at just the right moment. To possess such a distinct personal style at such a young age was absolute rarity.

Once Zhu Ming left, Pan Jinlian happily crawled out from under the covers and joyfully put on her clothes.

As for Zhang Tianwei, he had been utterly depressed last night. He had expended a great deal of effort and was just on the verge of winning over Xia Qingqing, only for that country-bumpkin boyfriend of hers to suddenly pop up. Not only was the fellow exceptionally skilled in martial arts, disrupting his plans and costing him Xia Qingqing, but he had also forced Zhang Tianwei to pay a heavy price.
