Volume 1 Chapter 40: Double Meets Double

GCY: [I haven't left. I'm going to check out what's happening on the other side.]
LoveWine: [Can you tell what's going on?]
GCY: [It's nothing, I just spotted two acquaintances.]
LoveWine: [Who?]
Gu Chenyi didn't answer, but it was clear that this match wouldn't be easy to win. Since he was an acquaintance of "Letter-Ge," and given how wealthy Letter-Ge was, the "big brother" and "big sister" on the opposing side were clearly just as unfazed by spending money.

In Chen Jinze’s livestream:
Chen Jinze saw a comment, and the smile on his lips instantly froze. "She’s not a secondary account of 'Flower Wine Thick'? Just an imitator? In that case, isn't the punishment I gave a bit too light?"
King of Slacking: [Of course it is. Let's win first, and once we do, we can add some other punishments for them...]

"Alright, if I, Ye, can make it out alive, I will do my best to protect you all. But don't let your guard down; I fear there are even more dangers lurking here." Ye Fei understood what the other side meant and agreed.
"You're crazy! You've truly gone mad!" the Will of the Demonic Path stared at the demonic clouds in the sky, chanting these words repeatedly.
After they left, I successfully purchased the gravity control room for 750,000. No one competed with me because they hadn't intended to buy it in the first place—it was something Andrew had suddenly added to the auction.
Ming Yu felt a jolt of alarm. He had previously focused only on the power of the Drunken Shadow Illusion Sword, completely ignoring the most fundamental issue.
Although the effect wasn't as potent as the Origin Qi of All Things itself, refining it for a longer period would likely still be quite beneficial.
One could say that every glance he cast now radiated the sharp edge befitting a powerful sword cultivator.
"Absolutely not. My judgment is sound. Who doesn't know that my, Er Gaze's, eyes are the sharpest?" Er Gaze asserted.

Meanwhile, I was still immersed in my old man's deduction from earlier, feeling that things weren't exactly as he thought. No, it was more likely that my father had fallen into a logical trap: since it was undoubtedly Old Eight Zhao who followed him this morning, he had mistaken Er Dan for that old acquaintance.
Upon reaching the secret room, the Great Chieftain didn't see any guards, and his heart sank. Just then, that patrol unit happened to walk by. Seeing the Great Chieftain there, they saluted while secretly rejoicing; in their minds, the person inside was about to meet with misfortune.
Sigh, when did I become so proactive? To think I would actually say the words "I love you."
"You—" His lips left hers, but they were stained a bright, vivid red. Qin Mucheng wore an expression of suppressed pain, his heavy frame still pressing tightly against her.
"I was just wondering why the two regiments stationed at Fengdu fell in less than a day. So, Wei Lihuang actually diverted the 15th Army to reinforce the southern front!" Liu Xiang remarked with a click of his tongue.
Orochimaru's laboratory was incredibly vast, at least the size of a football field. Inside, it was packed with dense rows of experimental instruments and the materials needed for his research.
"Good! Everyone, pick a head you like and slaughter it! We—" Before he could finish, the Great Serpent opened its mouth and blasted a torrent of fire, striking Lancelot.
In the darkness, she could barely make out his silhouette, only feeling that his deep eyes were glowing with light. He held her hand the entire time, the warmth of his palm something she had never experienced before.
Ling Fengyu didn't care about these fellows at all. Regardless, they had no chance; even if they were unwilling, they were destined to become stepping stones for Artoria. For now, Ling Fengyu was quite happy to enjoy the spectacle of them tearing each other apart.
"Haha, Ya Yu, don't worry. People who could kill me might have existed in the past, but now, they no longer do," Liu Xing said with a chuckle.
Wu Xinyan went over to ask and only then learned that before dawn, the police bureau had arrested a large number of people. No one knew what was going on, but even police officers were among those detained.
There were many treasures that could not be obtained in the First World, and some were too rare for someone with the cultivation level of a Young City Lord to acquire.
As the voice faded, the figure gradually dissipated. The ancestor of the Human Emperor slowly ascended, looking down at everything below with eyes filled with coldness and indifference, never once sparing a glance for Lu Xuanqing.
Grandmother Liu San was stunned. She had never before encountered someone who would send a guest away after barely two sentences, before they had even settled into their chair. Even though she tried to act poised and magnanimous, a trace of anger still flickered across her face.
"Yes, what man hasn't had a moment of being blinded by desire?" Lu Dongting smiled, answering without hesitation.

In an old residential building, Han Ke walked step by step up the stairs to the second floor. There were only six floors, and being an old building, there was no elevator. The staircase appeared narrow and dilapidated, and the door in the middle of the second floor was where their home used to be.
The words of the Other Shore made the Immortal King Zhu Luo’s face darken; his mood, which had just begun to improve, turned even worse.
The pungent alcohol, mixed with the aged aroma, could make one's throat burn and one's mind sink in an instant.
Seeing this, Cui Bin swung his large arm and pulled Ruan Qingyu into a tight embrace. Just as he was about to charge toward the perimeter, the blood whistled past, splattering all over both Ruan Qingyu and Cui Bin.
Seeing his son’s back beaten to a bloody pulp, still wailing and rolling on the ground in agony, tears welled up in his eyes instantly. He knelt before the young master in the fine silk robes and began kowtowing, his head striking the floor with a rhythmic thud. Soon, blood flowed from his forehead. Between kowtows, he begged the young master to spare his child.
"Fine!" Che Ding agreed immediately. Cui Bin looked at the two of them; although he didn't know what they were thinking, he could feel the unbridgeable chasm between them. He paused for a moment, then followed them as they walked toward the city exit.
Xu Le silently judged that it seemed these two were also pre-selected candidates for the Youth Committee... No wonder Wang Yang had been so relaxed earlier, even having the spare energy to flirt with girls.
Since they had guilty consciences, they naturally dared not say anything more, and their original plan was temporarily shelved.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiaoran took off his coat, spread it on the ground, and pulled Su Xiaoqing down to sit on it.
Su Xiaoqing glanced over and saw that Bai Yuhe was actually there too. She was sitting to the right of Su Minghua, with two empty chairs beside her. Her expression was filled with obsession mixed with a hint of jealousy, her gaze fixed intently on Gu Xiaoran.
"We aimed for Yan Wanchong, but ended up attacking Su Muli instead. We were careless." Gongliang Shu’s tone was piteous, but those listening were holding back laughter until they nearly burst.
A warm, damp cloth wiped over her body, and the cold air caused goosebumps to rise on her exposed skin. Gan Yungui secretly pulled down the quilt, her eyes darting around as she sized up the person in front of her.
The fact was, Liu Xiaoqing herself was completely bewildered. With her sister reacting like this, how could Lin Zihan still be unaware?
