Chapter 134: The Country That Even Lei Jun Couldn't Conquer

At this moment, Old Master Gou crept up to the thatched cottage, momentarily at a loss as to what to do. He hesitated to go inside; after all, the occupant was such a law-abiding person that doing anything detrimental to them felt wrong. Yet, having come all this way, how could he simply turn back without entering? That made no sense—how could one let a cooked duck fly away?

These next few days were a critical period. If he ran into Zhang Wei and the others, they would undoubtedly drag him out to drink. Zhang Wei had already stirred up trouble once, and Liu Hong was bound to suspect that he had colluded with Zhang Wei and his gang to squeeze her out of her deputy section-chief position. Now, even with a thousand mouths, he wouldn't be able to clear his name. It was far better simply not to return and instead stay right here at the River Administration Office.

By now, three or four maritime defense lines had already suffered breaches, and their effectiveness in intercepting the Demon God was likely reduced to almost nothing.

Yet the Prince, who usually doted on her so, failed to hear her. He remained by the candlelight, engrossed in admiring his collection of jars and urns.

Fortunately, he had not yet established his own primal star; otherwise, the instinctive reaction awakened by Yang Yunqing just moments ago would have been enough to severely damage his star.

He had spent hours bustling about outside, nearly dying at the hands of two martial arts experts, only to end up in such a wretched state.

Knowing his son all too well, should the Second Prince's human trafficking scandal come to light, the Emperor would at most hurl a few curses before stripping him of his royal title and reducing him to a commoner.

Sang Ning couldn't be bothered to repeat Zhu Qi's accusations against Shen Yi. Besides, he and Qing Yue had already had a falling out, which was, to some extent, a sore subject best left untouched.

Before Cao Yongde could finish speaking, he was struck hard across the face by the scar-faced man, a burning pain instantly spreading across his cheek.

Everyone was somewhat curious about what Soaring Dragon had said. They exchanged glances before following him into the distance.

Along the way to the intensive care unit, reporters swarmed around them like flies. Ultimately, however, they were blocked by the security guards stationed at the entrance of the ER.

The Heavenly Soul turned around and looked at me, a trace of tenderness seemingly lingering in its eyes. Yet I dared not be certain, for the Heavenly Soul and I were hardly acquainted.

"You got it, you got it..." The villagers had been waiting for those words for a long time. Without standing on ceremony, they pulled open the car door and climbed in.

Hearing those people's conversation, Soaring Dragon smiled to himself, amused by the thought that the guild leader they were discussing was standing right beside them, completely oblivious.

I shook my head, having never paid much attention to geography, and thus had no idea what place this "Black Bamboo Gully" was.

The power born of desperation instantly ignited Sawin's passion. He instantly forgot the pain, tearing Ordon's fishing net to shreds with a few swift motions of his hands. Though his palms were stained entirely with blood, Sawin felt nothing; at that moment, his sole desire was to beat the opponent before him into a bloody pulp.

According to the traditions of the Golden Wheel Commercial War, the consortium that announced its withdrawal would form an alliance with the champion, eventually becoming a subordinate family under the commercial overlord to jointly hold supreme economic power in the supernatural world.

Peng Shizhe could not help but secretly admire Boss Lang's adeptness in handling the situation. Up to this point, he seemed to have said a great deal, yet Peng Shizhe had obtained nothing of any real substance.

He had no idea how much time had passed. Feeling a sharp stinging in his eyes, he forced them open, only to find that he could not see anything clearly. It was as if everything was shrouded in chaos—no, it wasn't that his vision was blurred; rather, there was simply nothing here to begin with. Where on earth was this place?

The local forces dispatched by the Triad across the three provinces and ten counties numbered a mere five thousand or more. Yet a month later, by the time the entire Qiong Prefecture fell into the hands of the Triad, their military strength had not diminished in the slightest; instead, it had swelled to over twenty-three thousand men.

However hard the one-eyed man searched, he could find no evidence of cheating—not even a single pair of dice. Naturally, such an outcome was not what he had hoped for, which only served to plunge him into an even greater frenzy of frustration and rage.

Because she had never walked side by side with a companion. Mu Yiyi simply stood by the window, gazing up at the moon in the sky while countless fleeting images flashed through her mind.

"It now appears that your valley's intelligence network has already spread extensively throughout this region. No doubt you have already received the news that the battle lines on the eastern front of the Black Forest have ceased fire!" Bridget pivoted the conversation abruptly.

She saw Ice Silk dressed in phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, wedded to Jiang Jiji. She saw that during the daylight hours, that cold and elegant face remained as beautiful as ever, yet no longer looked delicate or frail.

"If we charge straight through, we'll be exposed and shot," I said anxiously, though in my heart I was secretly calculating my own limits.

As someone from Hong Kong, Lei Dong had never really held a favorable impression of either the Koreans or the Japanese. While his resentment wasn't as deeply etched as that of mainlanders who never forget history, he was nonetheless a man of grit and memory. Consequently, he gave a hearty thumbs-up to Qin Yang's remarks.

Yet from beginning to end, Li Dan had never deployed a single soldier, nor had he ever openly confronted the Flood Hall. Indeed, he had even shown considerable favoritism toward the trading fleets of the Qixin Hall, leaving Li Tianyang and his men utterly unable to detect a shred of malicious intent.

Without sufficient self-protection capability, any transient glory was merely a flash in the pan. His own wretched plight at this very moment was a living, breathing example.

Even without exposing Lu Mingfei's true strength, simply utilizing him as an overpowered sniper would undoubtedly provide an extraordinarily formidable auxiliary combat capability.

Their social circle was quite open-minded, and everyone possessed some hidden, eccentric quirks to varying degrees.

Tomorrow was the opening ceremony of the chicken dinner celebrity tournament, and Qiao Yu remarked that their team still needed to work on building mutual chemistry.

"An eighty-twenty split; forty thousand for you and your men," the Piranha demanded greedily, claiming the lion's share of the two hundred thousand.

A red flash swept across the rockery, and a pitch-black, door-shaped tunnel materialized before everyone's eyes.

The host announced, "As you can see, the red zone represents contestants who have less than one hundred yuan remaining."

"Confirm our position. Have we truly not crossed into the mainland's territorial waters?" While the captain was radioing the fleet for assistance, the first mate strode up to the navigating officer and demanded loudly.

Therefore, even if Mr. Li's grandparents could not inherit the estate directly because they were not first-in-line heirs, under the aforementioned legal provisions, they were still entitled to a suitable portion of the estate to satisfy their basic living requirements.

Snape's expression darkened visibly, and even Professor McGonagall instinctively furrowed her brow.

When the dance concluded, she offered a slow, graceful bow and then turned to leave the banquet hall, all eyes following her figure until the palace doors closed behind her.

Si Hengjin heard her loud and clear. He knew she was simply acting shamelessly, yet he found himself completely helpless against Li Shuoxi at moments like this.
