152, Fiancé and Fiancée

At this moment, Wei Xun seemed to have shed the sharp edge and composure he usually displayed in the business world, revealing a nearly devout tenderness and an irrepressible passion.

Facing his affectionate embrace, Lin Mi said nothing. Instead, she turned, raised her arms, and looped them around his neck, responding to his every gesture with her actions.

Their eyes met, and invisible sparks seemed to crackle in the air.

All words appeared superfluous.

"...."

Elder Zhang slammed his hand on the table and said, "You manage certain businesses in the secular world, so you truly have more experience in exploiting contract loopholes. But this matter belongs to the cultivation world. Do not use your secular mindset to handle matters of the cultivation world."

Down on the ground, members of the Ying family were buzzing with discussion. Although somewhat startled by the newcomer's strength, they did not believe this person could leave this place unscathed.

She looked up at the man before her, only to discover that intense flames were leaping within the young master's deep, dark pupils.

Yet that phone remained stubbornly persistent, ringing time and time again, having been dialed repeatedly over the course of the conversation.

The dazzling white light made it impossible to observe any details of the situation, but Mu watched with great relish. In his eyes, although the tiers of energy fluctuations differed, the effect of this lengthy incantation that took a full three minutes to chant was identical to the brief three-syllable spell used by Hady.

Because he had taken on several extra courses, Ye Xing's workload had become even heavier. Sometimes he even had to work overtime at the school into the night, which meant he often returned very late.

Returning to Shenzhen, it was already ten o'clock in the night. Zhang Minglang accompanied me for a bite to eat, but with work on his mind, he made a phone call to Lin Qicheng and then went out.

Hearing the names Shangguan Biehe and Shangguan Ping'er, Huangfu Xu nodded, cupped his fists, and acknowledged the statement. For now, these two had little to do with him, but in the future, they would become family—provided, of course, that there were no unexpected twists of fate.

At that moment, someone stepped forward to request a tier-two medicinal pill, offering corresponding spirit stones in return. They dared to act this way only because they had a certain understanding of Lu Tianming's character. If any other core disciple had been surrounded like this by inner disciples, they would have kicked them away long ago.

Yejie raised his head and gazed at the ceiling, as though he could see something right through it, remaining silently speechless.

He Yuting mentally estimated the bald donkey's delicate features and lean, sinewy physique—tender meat? Who is he trying to bluff?

Don't let her smiling expression fool you; this is a velvet-covered iron punch putting me on the spot. By the look of things, she will not rest until she gets the permit today.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng had already stealthily approached the octopus monster and began to grapple with it.

Pulling up the surveillance footage made the murder scene instantly clear: the red Santana drove away from Tang Jing and Bajie, stopped a kilometer away, gestured back and forth with a pickup truck driver, and then drove off again. And that pickup truck was the vehicle that had knocked down Zhu Xiaojie.

The old ginseng spirit's aura was growing increasingly faint. He mustered all his strength and gripped Cheng Mo's hand tightly.

Anyway, killing a spirit fairy grass could still offset a good portion of an Earth fairy grass, so many of those entering the inner circle were driven by the goal of wiping out the spirit fairy grass.

The military commanders all knew his stubborn and straightforward nature—he was someone who couldn't keep a secret and spoke his mind without a filter. Instead of severely punishing him, after some discussion, they decided to have him retire early.

Now he was simply waiting for Xu Chuan to agree to transfer this treasure to him, as he had complete faith in Xu Chuan's judgment.

Perhaps the tuberculosis suffered by King Chu of Qin was of a type with low contagiousness. Mulling this over, Qin Mu managed to settle his mind. At the same time, he felt deeply ashamed; a person should maintain some dignity and not flee in panic purely out of fear of death.

Ever since Su Chen sensed the spiritual energy contained in this place, he had come here every day to practice and refine his techniques.

However, when those zombies were attracted by the commotion, they discovered that the things drawing them were merely a few cyborgs completely devoid of life signs. Listlessly, the zombies tried to turn away, but the cyborgs refused to let them leave.
