Chapter 38: The Final Date
Kora, not far away, also froze in her tracks, pressing herself hard against the tree trunk without moving a muscle. This only confirmed Mu Yan’s suspicion: the monster in this state possessed truly terrifying hearing, to the point that even Kora dared not make a sound.
As he spoke, Qing Tianhua first pointed to the number "thirty-two" printed on his pale blue sand-colored robe, then gestured toward the lone, thousand-foot-tall azure peak situated to the north of the majestic buildings. Ye Haoran looked on with eyes clearly burning with intense yearning and envy.
That was the first time in Ye Li's life she had seen water so emerald-green, like precious jade, and a white sandy beach that could only be described as flawless. Her spoken English was limited, so she mostly followed behind Qin Lang, watching him communicate with the locals and waiting for him to turn and tell her what had been said.
Zhang Zhen lingered in the post-apocalyptic world for a week, waiting for the War-Machine Maiden to finish evolving the Black Dragon before he returned to reality.
Within the blood well, a face as pale as frost stared at Lin Fei. It was just a sheet of human skin, bloodless and ghastly.
Among the pile of newspapers, Ye Li shook out a note written to her by Mrs. Xie; a string of numbers was written on it, presumably a phone number.
A-Zi and Si Yuanhao were fighting fiercely, waking up many people in the middle of the night and making it impossible for anyone at the Rujia Hotel to get any rest.
Just as the image appeared once again, a rich and dense surge of primordial spiritual energy erupted within Ye Haoran's body. Feeling his body become light once more, Ye Haoran gritted his teeth and poured all that energy into the alchemy furnace.
Toiling away at cultivation for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years couldn't compare to the power gained by simply swallowing a solar system.
The two first went to a law firm, where Jiang Chonglang met with a lawyer named Lin Qiming. After hearing a rough summary of the situation, Lin Qiming promised to do his utmost and told them to set their minds at ease.
The green-scaled giant python whipped its massive tail into a circle, blocking most of Zhou Dao’s attacks. The ones that couldn't be deflected struck the scales with a series of clanging sounds, failing to even break its defense.
Qin Yu suddenly realized she was at the company where she was interviewing, not in a classroom. She reined in all her surprise and sat upright before Shui Qing.
Li Shishi watched the ice dragon Wangcai grovel with no sense of dignity and felt quite smug. Had it not been for the fact that Wangcai was still busy teasing the Blade Emperor—a boss at the lower god tier—she might have run over without hesitation and patted the dragon’s head like a big sister.
However, she waited for a long time without saying a word or shedding a single tear, her breathing remaining steady. And he was certain that, with her head bowed, she could see his shadow on the ground.
"Please leave here at once. Unless you wish to spark a war between the Golden War Leopards and the Black Lynx tribe..." Sarah issued a final warning.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, the new county magistrate, Zhang Chuan'en, arrived punctually at the office building shared by the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Tourism Bureau, accompanied by the executive deputy magistrate Sha Zuomin and several other deputies.
Qiao Hanyuan tried her best to remain patient, speaking to Fu Yanjin in the gentlest and most charming tone she could muster.
Consequently, Qin Yang’s position in the Investment Promotion Bureau and Liubao Township became even more secure. Wan Baoshun and Qi Bufan worked even harder, and needless to say, Qin Yang viewed the two of them as his right-hand men.
However, the most urgent task was to create a new, stable environment for Yanping County.
At this moment, Mage’s soul had been completely pulled out by Zhou Dao. A suction force appeared between Zhou Dao’s brows, directly swallowing Mage’s soul.
Since their chance encounter with Lang Lian today, he had been following them everywhere they went, while Liunian kept a close eye on Ling Qing’s expression.
I fought him off with all my might, but he suppressed me with just one hand, like a cat toying with a mouse. Cats, after all, enjoy it when the mouse puts up a fight.
I snuck into Bao’er’s room and saw her lying in Li Yi’s arms, listening intently to a story. From time to time, she would ask innocent questions, such as whether the prince really didn't remember the mermaid had saved him, or if the prince would be sad when the mermaid turned into sea foam.
Many locals pointed and gossiped, for although many had called the police earlier, not a single officer had appeared even now.
Just then, Si Lvhen ran over. When he saw Liunian’s hand held by Lang Lian’s, he stopped dead in his tracks.
When he learned about what happened to Chu Ling, he was initially skeptical, as he felt that no matter what, Yu Xian would never do such a thing.
In truth, I had no right to blame anyone. To make money, I had been touched by countless men and had even slept with Li Yi; what right did I have to look down on Brother Ming? Yet, I couldn't sleep a wink all night.
The knocking on the car window continued, but Si Lvhen acted as if he heard nothing, continuing to kiss Liunian.
If this were exposed by the media or if anything else happened, things would likely be much more complicated than this.
