Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Origin of the Hundred-Acre Plot

Without waiting for a response, he leaped from the hospital bed and began to stretch his limbs. It was as if a long-slumbering dragon had suddenly awakened; an intangible, majestic aura emanated from him.

However, he was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough and could not afford to leave. There was simply no other way.

Without giving Qin Yu a chance to react, the Supreme Elder of the Ghost Immortal Sect launched an attack. Old Ghost Hun, standing nearby, showed no intention of intervening, merely watching from the sidelines. Qin Yu gave a bitter smile: how unsupportive.

Just then, an awkward sound interrupted his thoughts, startling him. He immediately turned his gaze toward the source of the noise.

If Su Chen had used this move against Lin Jinyan from the very start, would Lin Jinyan have ever had the chance to kick his right flank?

"I have never yielded to threats from anyone. Even if your Gong family and every ancient clan in China stood against me, so what? Anyone who dares to touch my Heaven Gate’s leader will die." After speaking, Xia Tian shoved the incredulous Gong Lengye to the ground, where blood began to pool rapidly.

It was a sword! It appeared mysteriously before Qin Yu, hovering in the air with its tip pointed directly at Wang Cheng, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Director Li, nearing fifty, sported a potbelly and a nearly bald head. His entire body shook as he spoke, his sparse hair trembling along with him, creating a comical sight. Yet, the students clearly feared him, scurrying back into the classroom.

"Brother Xuan, I wasn't rushing to jump off the building, but rushing to hide inside. If I’d been any slower, the four of us would have been jumping together," Jiang Yuxuan replied with complete seriousness.

After Song Zheng’s bid of thirty thousand spirit stones, the price on the floor rose less rapidly, but it continued to climb. Before Master Lei could even speak, the price of the Nine-Turn Profound Pill had already reached thirty-nine thousand, creeping up in increments of one thousand.

Song Fangfang leaned into Factory Director Qin’s arms, looking up at him and asking, "Old Qin, can't you just divorce that old hag?"

But if one got inside and the lock-picking phase failed—if the card didn't trigger the door—wouldn't the ruse be exposed anyway?

Eunuch Chen had spent the entire day investigating yesterday, searching everywhere inside and outside the palace, eventually narrowing his suspicions to the eunuch who delivered meals to the Empress’s quarters.

The red beam collided with the dark purple glow; Milayer shuddered, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Black-red mist permeated the surroundings, obscuring the path. The rat demon lunged toward Master Luo and the twenty or so children.

"This rat demon only has seven hundred years of cultivation, so how is it emitting the aura of a thousand-year-old demon?" Fire Child and Water Child realized the gravity of the situation.

Xing Tiantian looked at the list Yang Nan had written for her; it was covered in dense, meticulous notes detailing various precautions. She was deeply moved. Though she appeared tough on the surface, her heart was soft.

"This massive, pure soul power is far stronger than before! I can clearly sense the bottleneck of the Alchemist realm," Feng Wuchen grinned.

She had never seen such a long atomic breath; he hadn't even used it against Kong just moments ago.

Beyond the increase in size, strength, and speed, Leila had also acquired two innate skills as a monster.

The barbecue vendors here were mostly locals from the grasslands, and the meat was largely free-range. Although the presentation of their skewers wasn't particularly refined, the rich, savory aroma was incredibly tempting.

Xia Haoran and his group arrived at school early. In his words, as members of China University, they should demonstrate a spirit of dedication by helping the incoming freshmen.

Li Chen’s decisiveness led to a massive harvest for their group—two days later, trading markets across the globe announced closures! Any funds that hadn't been withdrawn in time were trapped, waiting for new government policies. Once a global bailout eventually occurred, the profits those capitalists had made would likely be clawed back, bit by bit.

Bai Nian, impatient, muttered, "Useless thing!" before tossing a white sheet over him and walking briskly to the door.

She had understood from the beginning that whether Xuan Shao was teasing her or truly harbored some interest, she had no room to refuse.

From a distance, Wang Hao Ming saw the cold box of rice and porridge on her bedside table; it looked as if she hadn't touched a bite.

Fortunately, Medusa discovered a chapel at the foot of the hill and ducked inside three minutes early, narrowly avoiding the deluge.

"What, does Mr. Wang want to buy a set himself?" Zhang Wei replied, his eyes still fixed on the jade that had been packed away. It was truly a regret to miss out on such a high-end piece.

As long as the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade could briefly block the momentum of that spear, the Demon Blade would be able to strike Nan Yue.

Stepping past He Suxu, Yan Tan walked straight to the old patriarch. He Suxu stood frozen, her eyes reddening slightly after a few seconds before she returned to her seat. If Yan Tan was unwilling to hide his disgust for her even in front of the elders, what else could she do?

Liang Chen waved his hand, ordering the criminal investigation team to take the suspects away, while he lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought. He needed to organize his findings.

"Meng Han, is it beautiful?" Tang Yulong asked, watching the white clouds drifting past the cabin window.

As they stepped aside to let each other pass, their eyes met. I was shocked to see that his eyes were two completely different colors: one was blue, while the other was a standard Chinese black. With a high bridge of his nose and red lips against white teeth, he looked incredibly young.

"Great!" Ling Shou exclaimed upon hearing Li Tian’s words. Li Tian took care of the bill, and as they left, Lingzi naturally linked her arm through Li Tian’s, wearing a joyful smile.
