Chapter 41: Taking a Chance

Following Zomali's command, Ryan felt a force begin to dictate his body's movements, compelling him to strike down Anliye, who stood beside him.

Yu Siyi felt her tongue tie; she had promised Lin Tian not to reveal that he was still alive. However, after seeing the old Master Lin’s utter devastation yesterday, she couldn't help but tell him the truth.

"Master, how cruel you are! Do you truly wish for Junior Brother Han to die?" Yun Ting was repelled by a counter-shock and collapsed to the ground, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes as she murmured to herself in despair.

Hearing this, Han Feng sat down, his heart as tranquil as still water. With eyes closed and breath held, he entered a state of deep meditation. At that moment, a gray mist surged from the Dragon Pearl, enveloped him, and pulled him backward. Han Feng vanished.

"So you bought aphrodisiacs! You wanted to feed them to me, didn't you, Kuroko Shirai!!!" Misaka Mikoto’s temper exploded, and a violent surge of electricity surged toward Kuroko.

Pang Shanmin nodded upon hearing this, thinking that Kuai Liang’s words were sound. Yet, faced with such immense profit, he found it difficult to choose. In reality, deep down, he intended to accept Cao Cao’s proposal; his greatest hesitation lay in his uncertainty of how he would face Guo Jia once the city of Xudu fell.

After purchasing these materials, Lin Tianyang prepared to visit other shops in the market. Throughout the entire first day, he did not make a single move; he simply continued to wander throughout the area.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes in frustration. The courtyard wall wasn't even that high; there was no need for Zhao Lingguang to scream so miserably, was there?

Black Whirlwind slowly drew the second long axe from his back. If Old Xie truly ran out of strength, Black Whirlwind could cleave him in two in an instant.

At this moment, Mu Yi had only cleared one-third of his meridians. With two-thirds still blocked, he couldn't help but doubt whether he could complete the process in the limited time remaining.

"Sister, it’s fine. He needs my help now, so I must enter the Dragon Soul and become his sword spirit. That way, we can be together in a different form," Ziling explained with a smile, as if she were speaking of something entirely ordinary.

Shinji knew that Squirtle might not be able to break free from Kadabra’s psychic hold, but as long as it used Rapid Spin, the added momentum should make it harder for Kadabra to maintain its grip.

"You two sit for a moment; I’ll go buy some wine and food." Upon hearing Ouyang Jue’s words, Yue’er immediately rose to leave, but I pulled her back.

"You wretch, Spirit Demon, go to hell—Spirit Illusion Heavy Slash!" Seven Kills was also brimming with fury. Seeing his friend suppressed by the Spirit Demon, he could no longer hold back.

"Shadow, yes, those purple-winged bats will follow you, but what if you return to a major city? Can they still follow you then? Just wait, you pervert. I doubt you’ll escape this one unscathed. Heh heh, when the time comes, let’s see how you slip out of our grasp." Damn it, this Ouyang Jue—he just wouldn't let it go.

"Doctor, we have subdued Articuno. We can capture it and take it away now," the lead man said.

"Winners are kings and losers are villains; that is simply how it is. Therefore, I have no regrets." Lu Wu closed his eyes. Perhaps this entire affair was a mistake, but Lu Wu would not regret the transgressions he had committed.

"...none of the young people managed to obtain that item. It seems I thought too much," the old man said sorrowfully after Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran departed.

"Heh, you two are quite interesting. It seems your relationship is not bad at all. Don't mind me; just continue your fight. I shall wait here for you." Before Seven Kills could reply, the Spirit Demon’s seductive voice once again reached my ears.

"Li He!" I shouted, but he didn't seem to hear me. Perhaps it was too noisy, so I raised my voice and called out again.

After Ye Ningxi and Yin Qingluo squabbled for a moment, they noticed that Ye Qingtang had said nothing from the very beginning.

Seeing that Ma Yike had been so thoughtful as to even bring lollipops, I felt relieved that she would be able to take good care of Jiaqi.

"Everyone, get into line! Keep it straight! No one is allowed to move!" Wang Yishun commanded, brooking no argument or doubt.

After finishing their meals and drinking hot tea, Mr. Zhong, Zhang Zhankui, and Han Jinyong sat on the edge of the *kang*, lost in thought.

Damn it, am I, a grown man, to be looked down upon just for buying toilet paper? How has this society become like this? Do they think I’m actually broke?

My wife helped our son apply the medicine; the area was still shining a deep purple, as if coated in wax.

Regardless of how the outside world judged Murong Jue, in her eyes, he was the kindest person in the world to her.

I happened to see a guy in the urinal vomiting his guts out, his face beet red. He adjusted his tie and walked back out. Just as I was about to reach for my zipper to relieve myself, I heard a loud bang, and the door slammed shut.

"Understood." Ye Qingtang nodded slightly. Gazing at the palace before her, she couldn't help but recall her past life, the scenes of listening to her master’s teachings within these very walls.

It was an unintended act, yet it left the image of that figure—holding a staff and leading a dog—deeply etched into the mind of the young Ju Xing'an.

"My son is one of a kind. Do not hold his foolishness against your old man." Baili Liuxiang’s mother spoke, her voice filled with a charm that belied her years.

The blood-colored lizard acted like a foundation stone suppressing the crimson storm, stirring the heavens and earth. It swallowed the blood-red vortex formed by the surrounding mist, and the world cleared, as if the swirling crimson haze had never existed at all.

Yet, remaining conscious while personally watching one's own body be torn asunder... it was a terror that struck at the heart.

Dragging his heavy feet, Wei Zixuan reached the roadside and raised his hand to hail a taxi back to the hotel. He was currently quite worried about whether Temur and the others had managed to obtain their number tags.

Auntie Zhang had given me one piece of information; who is to say Fang Qiang wouldn't provide another, even more important piece?

Upon hearing the name Shao Weiwei, the flames in Dong Feifei’s heart flared up once more. Her expression changed instantly, and she began to roar into the receiver.

Director Wei looked at Song Xiang’s pained expression, feeling a sense of pity. However, there was nothing he could do at the moment, and he could only wave his hand at Song Xiang.

"Benefactor, please release us! I, Glasses, want to show some courage today. I have my share of sins in this; let me atone for them today!" The man in glasses fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his cheeks.
