Chapter 41: Wei Yang's Guilt

Wei Yang froze for an instant.
Recovering her senses, she reached out to give him a gentle hug and said with playful annoyance, "If he doesn't like you, then who could he possibly like? Tao Qingran, you can doubt anyone else, but I don't think you should ever doubt Lu Yao. Everyone knows how he feels about you!"
Tao Qingran pouted. "Right! All of you know, but I..."

Some ancient primordial species and primeval exotic beasts are even unable to take human form, or require reaching the seventh tier or an even higher realm to do so.

Prime Minister Cao slammed the desk and declared, "Damn it, you are the one going! Accomplish this mission and you shall be handsomely rewarded!" Thus, the veteran Jiang Gan, carrying Cao Cao's letter of introduction in secret, happily boarded a boat as a private individual and headed straight for the Jiangdong naval camp at Lake Poyang in high spirits.

Hongyan leaned against Yuerong's shoulder for a brief moment. With hazy eyes, she rose again and said to Yuerong, "Get some good rest; I will stay right by your side!" Yuerong nodded with a smile and drifted peacefully into sleep. Sitting on the edge of the couch, Hongyan kept vigil beside Yuerong's bed, watching him fall asleep and guarding him through the night, allowing no one to disturb him.

As he spoke, the physician stepped forward to check Hao Ren's pulse. Hao Ren snatched the physician's wrist, extended a finger, and jabbed him right in the chest. The strike landed squarely on the physician's Shanzhong acupoint, instantly leaving him completely limp as he collapsed beside Hao Ren.

After Yuerong finished speaking, he was placed into a pre-dug pit, and the crowd hurriedly shoveled earth over him. Before long, the heavy soil had risen up to Yuerong's neck.

Mi Zhu stared straight at Lu Su, rapidly exchanging pointed glances with him. The expression clearly conveyed: If you dare to expose my secrets, I will drag you down with me to our mutual doom.

The Skeleton King's previously hollow eye sockets suddenly radiated an eerie, supernatural light, resembling a pair of lethal swords that, while defending against external harm, carried a fierce intent to inflict it. That piercing gaze saw through everything—who could possibly hope to escape his notice?

Every dawn when facing the mirror, she felt nothing but weariness and revulsion toward the rouge upon her face. Every dusk during her toilette, her hairpins and ornaments were time and again left uselessly accumulating dust atop her head.

As the two stepped into the auction house, they swept their cold, sharp gazes across the surroundings, as if searching for someone.

Afterwards, everyone began to inspect the entire official residence. Behind the main hall lay an overgrown courtyard. The yard contained sixteen side rooms, along with a kitchen and a restroom, but the doors and roofs were entirely gone, leaving a scene of utter devastation. Directly ahead in the back was the rear hall, apparently the residence of the magistrate, which was equally dilapidated and ruined.

Just at that moment, Qianshen produced the Realm-Breaking Bead. The appearance of the bead terrified the two ape kings, who exchanged a single glance without uttering a word.

"So much time has passed without any news. What on earth are these doctors good for?" Old Master Ye finally lost his composure; he could no longer wait. No matter what, he wanted to know the outcome right now.

"Yes! I knew my old Hu could do it," Hu Xinlei cheered, dancing with excitement upon hearing the squad leader read out his score.

Following the company commander's order to board the trucks, the first and third platoons of the rookie company had already embarked.

"Trouble? Even if it's trouble, we kill one if there's one, and a hundred if there's a hundred," Li Ming said, as much to Wang Xiaoli as to himself.

Seeing Li Feng relent, the instructor quietly gestured to the handsome man, but the man shook his head in response.

Yet Bu Wan did not lower her guard. Looking at the arrow, she felt something was amiss—yes, something was indeed not quite right.

Wang Zihao flicked open the case, revealing ten sparkling diamonds that flashed before Boss Meng's eyes. Enhanced by the sunlight, the brilliance of the diamonds was dazzling enough to make even Boss Meng slightly squint his eyes, clearly unable to withstand such blinding light.

"Fine then, but don't let it affect my friends. I don't want them to face any danger!" Fighting against drug traffickers was far more difficult than dealing with those underworld bosses in Changcheng City. Those mobsters were mere thugs who bullied the weak and feared the strong; as long as you were fiercer than them, they wouldn't dare provoke you at all.
