Lin Beibei curled her lip.

Even if he could not, did this GCY really have to say it outright?

Did his stand-in have no dignity at all?

Still, considering how generously this GCY had spent money yesterday, she might as well let him say whatever he wanted.

Jiuj iu's Biggest Fan: “Of course I can, of course I can. Go ahead and stream.”

Enjoying a Worthless Life: “I rely on you to get through my days! Naturally I’ll come watch you. Otherwise, once Jiuj iu starts streaming, we’ll have to wait another couple of weeks.”

Jia Fugui: “We may not even see her after waiting those couple of weeks. Have you all forgotten? She always takes leave without saying a word. We don’t even know whether she’ll stream tomorrow.”

Jiuj iu's Biggest Fan: “As long as she streams, even if she’s ten hours late...”

It could even be said that, without the great aristocratic clans to act as a buffer, they would have to face the Hidden Ancient Clans and the Heavenly Court directly.

“Commander Wang, I’m afraid this isn’t appropriate.” Another awkward Chinese accent rang out from the sky. A tall, powerfully built Nordic heartthrob suddenly landed on the ice, and the frozen ground cracked loudly beneath him, splitting apart over a wide area.

Seeing himself in the mirror, he had wanted to laugh. For her, he was willing to give up his life and abandon his revenge, yet he had not hesitated for even a moment.

The Asura Demon Venerable had once crossed hands with the Dragon Venerable of the Demon Realm during the great battle a thousand years ago. Although the result had been a draw, after a thousand years of secluded cultivation, the Feather Venerable and the Scale Venerable must have been discussing ways to resist the Demon Venerable. Perhaps they had been helpless for a long time and could do nothing but enter seclusion to strengthen themselves.

Within the city, before the government office at the shelter, a powerful mass of black mist swept over in an instant. It grew denser and denser, blotting out the sky and sun as it spread across the immortal barrier.

A flash of spiritual light passed through He Xu’s eyes as he glared at the ape monster. His icy gaze was so terrifying that the ape monster felt the urge to retreat. How could it dare provoke such a formidable figure again?

The sight before them left everyone utterly shaken. The Four Divine Beasts had fallen to the ground, recovering their vital energy, while Huixin had transformed into a seven-colored peacock and lay motionless on the ground. One person stood among them, eyes blood-red, claws and fangs fully exposed.

It was Lian Xinying, who had gone berserk after deviating into demonic cultivation.

Although the shelter had expanded several times over, it was still hopelessly overcrowded. Too many ordinary people had flooded in, and before they could be properly settled, cries rang out without end, filling everyone’s ears with unbearable noise.

It was only an illusion, yet the illusion was far too enormous. It felt as though the entire sky were packed with it, pressing down on them until they could hardly breathe.

As hundreds of millions of viewers waited in boredom and tension, the camera finally switched from the live-stream room to the scene itself. Before that, the staff, security personnel, and the logistical teams of the three squads had been making final preparations for the contestants. Before long, ten o’clock was nearly upon them.

On one hand, Ike immediately sent people to contact Hopkins and his agent, and delivered the script directly into their hands. On the other, he waited in his office to meet Jude Law.

They continued deeper into the wasteland. Although everything was just as he had expected, they still encountered quite a few demon beasts along the way. After fighting their way through, he had actually advanced another level.

In the corner where Ye Jinmu had been looking moments earlier, a stern-faced burly man stood frowning, staring in the direction the two had left.

For many years he could scarcely forget it. Only later did he learn that it was called a single strike of love at first sight. In the end, he had resorted to every possible means and done so many things that, even now, he kept pushing her farther and farther away.

Who could have known that the box would be so heavy? The moment he lifted it barely an inch from the ground, it dropped back down.

Taishi Ci’s gaze was cold, devoid of even the slightest trace of emotion. It was filled only with a murderous hatred for Yan Baihu. Nothing less than cutting Yan Baihu into a thousand pieces could ease the fury in his heart.

“Lili, why are you here too?” Seeing Yang Lili, Lin Hongfei could not help widening his eyes.

Everyone nodded. Naturally, appearances had to be maintained; otherwise, the Great Chinese Federation would soon be plagued by a “North–South divide.” Yet balancing everything fairly was no easy task. After all, assimilation and harmony among the ethnic groups were the most crucial steps toward unifying the Greater East Asian Federation.

“Unless you give me a reason, I won’t agree to this breakup!” Lin Tiansheng pulled Zhuo Yiting up once more while staring at her cheeks.

Wu Dawei had absolute confidence in this, but he did not continue attacking. The second half had only just begun, and he had already rested for fifteen minutes beforehand.

Before long, more than two hundred tables and chairs had been set up in the square outside the kitchen hall. Many Taoist priests gathered around to watch the excitement, while others rolled up their sleeves to lend a hand.

David had already been reduced to chunks of flesh and bones, piled in another corner of the elevator. His head had been placed atop the remains, his face frozen in terror.

Wanyan Jin’s heart clenched. She had thought he ought to feel relieved; at least he would not give her any hope. Yet the pain in her chest was so terribly real.

Gao Han immediately ordered his men to uncover, one by one, all the white sheets covering the corpses.

He simply did not want to cause trouble. So, without anyone noticing, he had used sleeping pills to put her into a deep sleep before removing the fetus from her womb, thereby sparing himself a great deal of trouble.

As Xie Wanjun continued speaking, her expression grew increasingly solemn. Zhao listened as though she were a cat bitten by a snake, becoming so agitated that she nearly leaped to her feet.

In short, in an island nation so rich in seafood, pufferfish were not considered rare. Obtaining the toxin was not difficult either.

The dungeon was very spacious, roughly thirty square meters. There was a bedroll, a lamp, a desk, and a bottle of mineral water. A bowl sat on the desk, containing only two plain steamed buns.

“All right, big brother.” Wang Siying stopped fooling around and watched attentively from the side while Yu Tianqi repaired the item and explained as he worked.

Wasn’t it said that after the original owner surnamed Mo moved away, a new neighbor had come in? Was that new neighbor someone Ye Jiuj iu knew?

“You needn’t be so modest, little sister. All the sisters in this residence say that the Second Young Master is your confidant and soulmate. Only someone as gifted as you could be mentioned in the same breath as the Second Young Master. As for everyone else, the Second Young Master has never taken them seriously and does not bother with them at all.”

Zhuang Muyin still refused to give up. Why could she not provoke her, no matter what she said?
