Chapter 118: A French Publisher Makes the First Approach

She knew all too well that with her physical stamina, it was impossible to escape from Steve.

Though her intention was to save everyone money, she still wanted them to eat and drink well. If they were unsatisfied, wouldn't it be a waste of money that left everyone unhappy?

When the pretty Taoist arrived, Wu Dao was gulping down an iced drink he had just bought, and he nearly spat it out.

As dusk fell, the group returned laden with their haul, packed their belongings, and decided to continue their journey under the cover of night.

After a long silence, Luo Yue finally looked up and saw that Zhichu’s eyes were also brimming with tears, though she remained remarkably calm.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I have the time." She didn't want to go, and she truly was busy; she was flying to the capital on Friday to reunite with her parents.

She snapped her eyes open, rose from the bed, walked to the window, and quietly lifted a sliver of the curtain.

Jin Luo’s closed eyes were bloodshot, and watermelon juice dripped onto her feet, looking exactly like blood trickling down.

Who knew how many soul beasts would perish under the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—becoming fodder for others?

Zhuang Zhong cursed his bad luck inwardly. Looking at the cliff hidden behind the weeds before him, his heart began to pound wildly.

This was a primordial holy mark inherited from his predecessor. The secret of this mark was immortality, though he did not know when his predecessor had acquired it. Chen Xuanwu did not place much importance on it, as he did not rely on the power of holy marks himself.

Huo Chenxi shook his head, reached out to pat his hair, and gazed at him with a soft, gentle expression.

He struck the gourd with one hand, pointing the opening toward Kunpeng. A chilling aura erupted from the gourd, sweeping toward Kunpeng. The spiritual energy of the surrounding trees and flowers was drained by this icy breath, causing them to wither instantly—it was terrifyingly powerful.

About a minute later, this hellish ordeal finally came to an end. Hong Yu stared at him with cold, murderous intent.

How many years had it been? Tang Licheng had almost forgotten, yet at this moment, it had become an obsession in his heart.

"Haha, your idea is quite good, fellow Taoist. You are welcome to come and be my neighbor," Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Are you sure you want the urban terrain?" Theresa tapped the holographic screen in front of her, which displayed a request for authorization.

Though the Qiuru Palace was luxurious, neither Bai Han nor Qiye were people who craved wealth or status.

"Blackie, there’s no one on the third floor. Go find a place to hide there and don't come out unless I come for you," I said, casting a glance at Blackie.

Yu Xi wanted to chat with Zhao Yi or simply snuggle up to him, but with so many people following behind, she felt embarrassed and did not want to lose her image in front of her subjects.

Not long after returning to town, I was slapped hard across the face by an old man with the surname Man.

A faint mist of water hung in the air. In the center of the room sat a pool, about five meters in diameter, filled with a pale, milky-white liquid.

Yuan Zixia, however, could not afford to rest; she had to busy herself at the company every day. She sent messages to Cui Hansheng every noon. Even though he never replied, she kept sending them—it was a promise she had made to him, wasn't it?

Because the wound on Chen Guanxi's thigh was so obvious, and as Chen Zhiruo had said, it was highly likely caused during the fight yesterday, Chen Guanxi became a prime suspect if that were true.

Gu Bo was not in the least bit anxious. Since the stolen goods for the mission had already been secured, the contract would be fulfilled without issue.

The Jing Ke version of Li Tong had no choice but to take the corpse of Huang Zhong from his inventory space and carry it forward as a shield.

Zeraora, a mysterious Mythical Pokémon, lacked comprehensive data. Gong Ping had only obtained information about it because he had learned of its existence in his previous life.

The white-haired man casually flicked another talisman. In the next instant, hundreds of purple threads began to weave through the manor, forming an array.

He had great confidence in the Deer Demon; after all, it was powerful and a hegemon within the secret realm. Few could match it, and it was capable of handling attacks until he arrived to provide backup.

Totori set her sights on her "finishing moves." She could use a "combo" to trap Director Jin, but the cost would be having no "ultimate" left for the third round, which would be disastrous for her. But could she afford not to do it now?

"Wow! Shangri-La! That place must be Shangri-La!" Xiang Cao shrieked, tears of excitement streaming down her face, instantly soaking the front of her clothes.

By the time Jin Qing arrived, it was broad daylight. She happened to run into Qiao Shi, who was rushing out with two young apprentices carrying medicine chests.

To be honest, Mami Tomoe’s combat power was not low, and she was widely known among otaku as "Senior." Incidentally, Totori wanted to remark that there was a similar "Senior" in her school’s fashion club. As to whether she was equally bizarre, she couldn't say.

Everything depended on this! For no reason, Bahamut felt a bone-chilling cold sink deep into his marrow.

"Zhang Yuebin? What is he doing here?" The manager and Yan Qing thought the same thing, though the manager was worried about piling misfortune upon misfortune, while Yan Qing was simply curious.

Ye Weian did not bring up the rude youth from earlier, instead smiling as he asked Jin Qing what she had learned and how Jin Zhi was doing at home. Jin Qing chatted with him by the roadside for a while, though she was somewhat distracted.

"What is your name? How old are you this year?" Leng Yihan walked up to the youth and asked gently.

Controlling everyone’s soul sounds easy, but it is unlikely to be simple in practice. Who knows how much turmoil will arise from this point on?

As if hearing some grand joke, I clutched my stomach and let out a low, uncontrolled chuckle.

With the withdrawal of the last Jingxiang army attacking Henei, the first defensive scenario required by the system was successfully resolved.

That was one thing, but more importantly, the trading companies that handled imported medical equipment intervened. Others might have turned a blind eye to the Tengfei Factory switching to medical equipment, but the agencies representing advanced foreign medical devices certainly could not.

A flying ship was docked in the center of the valley. This ship was far more majestic than the one they had arrived on; the difference between them was like that of a firefly to the full moon.

Apostle Roland looked pained, as if a robot had lost its power source. Within moments, he ceased moving, and his golden pupils faded away.
