Volume 1, Chapter 50: I've Wanted to Kill Him for a Long Time

The Huo family's stock price had finally stabilized.

Song Nanyi's company was about to start its New Year holiday, and she had been extremely busy over the past few days.

Deng Xue handed her the final document. "Boss, once you sign this, our New Year holiday begins. Do you have any plans?"

Song Nanyi gracefully signed her name, handing the document back to Deng Xue.

"I'll spend some time with my family." In her past life, she had spent far too little time with them.

"Mm." Deng Xue gathered the documents and said, "Boss, I'll tidy up and head off then. Wishing you a Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Everyone else in the office had already left.

Song Nanyi sat alone at her desk, gazing in a daze at the dark night outside the window, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

She hoped...

"Lu Yan, you are simply bullying people!" Bai Xiuming said angrily, calling Lu Yan directly by his name.

Everyone from the Peng Sect pinned all their hopes on Zhang Yeting, and without a doubt, Zhang Yeting did not let them down.

Wu Xiangyang finished speaking and gave out his orders, hurriedly rallying the warriors of the Four Divine Generals' Mansion, while Qifeng also sent a signal of retreat to the people of the Xiang Village.

"No, I have money this time. I can't let you cover for me anymore." Sun Shining felt that she could no longer let her debts of gratitude pile up like this.

He had made a promise to Li Qinghe and had to fulfill it. Letting out a breath, Xu Fan walked over toward Li Qinghe.

However, if things continued this way and they still could not find a solution, the end result would likely be fraught with danger.

"Eldest Brother, just give me a straight answer on whether you still consider me a brother or not!" Luo Tian said with firm determination.

Huang Quan did not even have the time to greet Xia Hengzhou, leading the bewildered and absent-minded crowd as they hurriedly chased after Xu Fan's footsteps toward the interior of the Huang residence.

"Everything in the team is running on a normal track, right?" Here, Ye Suman was not worried about anyone with malicious intent eavesdropping on their conversation.

"No, really. Prime Minister Shen knows about this too. Xishu has been quite well-behaved, or at least they have maintained a compliant posture on the surface, which is why the late emperor didn't take them seriously," Ning Xiasheng said, rubbing his nose.

At that moment, the waiter brought over the coffee they had casually ordered. Wisps of steam rose from the cups, and a rich aroma filled the air. Gu Xixi stared blankly at the coffee in front of her for a moment before her eyes suddenly turned red.

At the same time, metal armor left much to be desired in terms of weight. If ordinary soldiers were to wear a full set, they might even struggle to move at all.

Of course, desperate times called for desperate measures, and they would not accept any refusal. If these Ghost Kings failed to know their place, they would be made to taste the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to see if the title of the Heaven-Incinerating Ghost King was earned for nothing.

Although these avatars would not die, the pain was connected to the main body, so dispersing them was inevitable. Otherwise, even if his true form managed to escape, he would still have to endure half of the torment suffered by those avatars.

"If you could take that single strike, how will you deal with a double slash?" Seeing Long Zhantian vomiting blood, Yun Kong wore a savage and excited expression, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth as he panted.

It was only then that I belatedly remembered Zhang Ruihan had paid by card, and his signature should be on the receipt.

Having finished establishing his authority, Chen Zhe picked up the Zhefang sword and gestured with it lightly, signaling the generals to gather around the map.

Breakup was the cruelest word in the world, yet she had spoken it so casually.

"The divine-bodied young master of the Phoenix Clan, Feng Qiuhuang?" Someone caught sight of the clothing totem of the newcomer, recognized him instantly, and spoke in astonishment.

Never had they imagined that the Celestial Academy, which had always considered itself the top dog in the cultivation world, would actually borrow the management methods of its competitor, the Sacred Dragon Academy! On the other hand, it also showed that this credit-system rule must have considerable progressive merit.

"Apologies, I was delayed by something." Suddenly, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle barged in, interrupting the host's speech.

Since Zhang Fangfang had said her parents went out on business, she must have invited other close friends from the class.

To be able to eat a bowl of noodles without changing expression in such an environment meant he was a man who could endure both prosperity and humiliation.

As it turned out, Zhao Yi had been hiding in the Imperial Guards' camp, never expecting the "eunuch dog" to be so shameless as to capture his wife and children.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, returning from the morning court with a gloomy expression, had his mind entirely occupied by the disaster reports pouring in from various regions today.

Accompanied by her bridesmaids, Pang Dongdong entered the yurt of Hamiti's grandparents to hold the "fire-worshipping" ceremony.

Summer nights grew dark relatively late, and coupled with the clear weather, the sun had only just begun to set a little past six o'clock in the afternoon, leaving everything brightly illuminated.

Mang squatted on the ground in pain. Recalling everything that had happened over the past few hours, he had initially been unable to read the Princess's attitude, but now he seemed to understand.

As long as He Rudaop or He Zhengfei made a bid, Su Chen would definitely raise it, but always just by a slight margin.

Yan Lingji's flames did not cause any pain. That fire lacked any sense of wanton destruction; instead, it felt more like the scorching heat and warmth brought by the sun, causing Zhang Ji to feel the temperature inside his body rising steadily, his skin turning as red as if he had just undergone a strenuous workout.

"Mom, these dishes are already plenty and wonderful! I love all of them! They taste so good, I love them so much!" Luo Ximo replied with a beaming smile.

Su Run was actually somewhat wronged. If he hadn't jumped down, was he supposed to slowly crawl down instead? It was just that the other person happened to possess extraordinary lightness gongfu and moved with grace, yet even this could invite disdain. If the young master Su were to find out about these false accusations leveled against him, he would probably faint right back to sleep.

"Lord Bai, no one was found here." One of them searched the area and returned to report.

"Yes, Xue'er must not have eaten yet, let's go eat first. Hehe!" Ziyu had been a little afraid at first, truly worried that Bai Xue's soul had returned. Now that she was certain it was real, she was overjoyed as well.

The celestial energy transformed into his true form, and his physical body turned into the Black Flame Spear. He was gambling—gambling that this creature would ignore the Black Flame Spear. If that palm a moment ago had struck the Black Flame Spear, Long Ling would either be dead or severely injured, though after all, as long as the heart wasn't shattered into two halves, one could still survive.

He recalled the Emperor's resolute order to have him dragged away; he recalled the Empress Dowager remaining completely silent at his request, not even offering him a chance to defend himself.

Why was she here? Assistant Jiang knew Wang Ziyun's identity, but he remained silent, deciding to watch the developments unfold.

That Immortal Venerable was skilled in the art of the earth-binding prison, cutting off Bi-an's path of survival, leaving her with no choice but to await her doom before finally being suppressed beneath the sword of Flowing Fire...

Gu Xueru made her entrance riding her spirit beast. From the moment she appeared, all eyes were fixed entirely upon her. Such a mount was something none of them had ever witnessed before.

Just imagine her, a poor PvP player whose remaining silver could barely cover her daily equipment repair costs, let alone run trade missions and purchase goods.

Although the enemy had a numerical advantage, their advantage was completely neutralized in this narrow passage. Instead, they were mowed down in large numbers by a fierce barrage from Long Bing and his men.
