Chapter 68: Waiting Upon

If he did not suppress it and allowed the fiery-tempered old man in red to run wild, there was no telling what secrets would be blurted out.

Without further hesitation, he grabbed the base of the horns with a reverse grip, put strength into his dantian, and snapped them downward with a vicious force. With a crisp crunch, the two horns were forcefully broken off. The fracture points emitted a string of sparks, leaving behind a series of concentric growth-ring patterns on the stumps.

"Chengde, do you believe it? Yao Tianmu only approached me because he made a deal with your mother. He got his shares, and look at how foolish I was, Chengde." Rongruo smiled, raising her head to look directly at Chengde.

A gust of eerie wind drifted into the classroom, giving everyone present goosebumps! Mingyue clearly felt the delicate body pressed even closer against him.

Everyone from the First Alchemy Hall, along with several elites from the Guardian Hall, stepped forward one after another to bow and salute Zhan Xiaoyao.

The driver was a veteran behind the wheel. Spotting a traffic light ahead, he made a sharp right turn into an alley. When he emerged from the other end, he found himself right behind the tail of that car.

Shen Wan watched Chengde’s resolute back with a sinking heart. She did not know when she had begun to care so deeply about Chengde. Every glance he cast at Rongruo, and every time he spoke of his history with her, was filled with such profound affection. That deep devotion moved her, and made her heart flutter for this man.

You know as well that defining monster races is complicated; most monsters actually just have occupations. As for the concept of a unified demon race... one wonders if they would even accept it.

True to his reputation, this cold-faced Eighth Brother had a mouth tightly shut like an unsewn shoe upper, squeezing out words with great effort.

Along the way, Xie Shaoqing talked endlessly, reiterating to him over and over again that the child Yingchun had aborted had not a single penny to do with him. President Lu remained entirely silent, and Xie Shaoqing followed him all the way into the company.

"What song did you two find that has you both so happy?" Wang Fang leaned over to my right. When I told her the title, she curled her lip and forced a faint smile. "No wonder you're so happy." With that, she slumped listlessly onto the sofa, gazing blankly at the shifting images on the screen.

Marita was one of Elissa’s eight bridesmaids, and she acted even more lively than Elissa throughout the wedding, stealing the spotlight completely.

On November 6th, just one day before the celebration, two chartered planes rented by EMI arrived in Moscow carrying fifty thousand sets of Zhou Nan’s records.

Thus, after the municipal government took its twenty percent cut, the local government’s actual revenue amounted to very little.

Lin Su could now safely conclude that this company was nothing more than a shell corporation with minimal qualifications. Hiring such an unprofessional firm was a complete waste of money.

To be honest, our production crew is also taking the risk of being heavily criticized. Although it is a mutual exchange of needs—you get exposure and we get ratings—there is simply no helping it when people refuse to cooperate.

Looking at Nangong Xiangling, who was sobbing uncontrollably as she pressed against him, Weisuo felt helpless. He thought to himself: She was the one who reached out to touch, and now that she’s touched me, she starts crying—what kind of nonsense is this? Besides, I was clearly the one who got groped; why does it feel like I’m the one who took advantage of her?

Bai Gang swallowed hard, and right on cue, his stomach let out an untimely growl. Having eaten only half a compressed ration bar in two days, he was truly starving.

However, incorporating these backdrops into cinematic shots requires directors to conduct field research and gradually weave them together to form a complete film.

With those words, he took the lead and walked ahead. Snake Lady blinked, still a bit dazed, but operating on the principle of trusting Fang Lang, she followed closely behind him step by step.

Red Maple understood the gravity of the situation and thought much deeper into it than his wife. Glancing at the sky, he figured his royal parents had not yet retired for the evening. He comforted his wife, handed the pair of phoenix eggs he had brought back over to Neon Costume, and hurriedly departed once again to consult with the Phoenix King.

Li Huan furrowed his brows deeply. This was not the time to dwell on such matters; since Zhuque had appeared in Lingnan City, he was determined to keep her here. With his current level of strength, saving Zhuque would certainly be within his power.

Commercial storefront rents were exceptionally high, especially in prime locations. Since Zhang Heng didn't know anyone else, he had no choice but to try his luck with Ou Lu, hoping to perhaps save a little money.

Accompanied by a chorus of miserable shrieks, Yaiya and Chiyou turned around simultaneously and struck down the guards who had yet to fall, clearing a clear passageway for Wang Zhaolin.

Pei Qiu surmised that this matter had only been discussed verbally between Lin Yaoqi and Jia Yu; what did it have to do with them? However, out of consideration for others' pride, it was inconvenient to expose it, so he simply asked about Anruidi’s subsequent itinerary.

That fourth-tier spirit armor had warded off a multitude of attacks for him, but by now, even the golden glow of the armor had long since extinguished, covered densely with deep, fractured fissures.

Mother had been beaten yesterday. Ever since leaving the Zecheng prison, she felt as though she had fallen into a bottomless pit and been placed under someone's control.

He Tiantian carried the vegetables toward the kitchen, pausing to cast a glance at Yin Tian, who was teaching Yue'er how to read, as she passed the main room's doorway.

Word had been that when the children celebrated their third-day bath ceremony, the Empress herself had come, and the Emperor bestowed countless treasures. Fang Yunling hadn't laid eyes on those, but she had just knelt to receive the Emperor's imperial decree, witnessing with her own eyes the rewards the Emperor granted the child for the twelve-day celebration.

Ou Lu searched her memory. After a moment, she was entirely certain that there was simply no one named Ling Yan anywhere in her mind.

Perhaps because her nerves had been tightly strung all along, Lin Jia'an hadn't felt much at the time.

Moreover, she paid special attention to listening to the background music, and Xu Mo danced in perfect synchronization with the beats without the slightest trace of awkwardness.

Seeing Old Man Zhang being so cooperative, Su Zhimeng was overjoyed. She knew full well that Old Man Zhang would never allow Chen Zhimong to offend him. Sure enough, he opened fire on Qin Xiaoxian. Now, Qin Xiaoxian was completely finished and just waiting to be driven out of the Zhang family in utter humiliation.

At that very moment, Zhou Qinhuai was unaware of Tang Yanxin's thoughts, but he certainly caught her sneaky, salivating expression.

Just then, Big Elder Sister returned home intending to find Mother Zhao for a clear explanation, leaving only the four Tang brothers in the house.

In reality, apart from studying and chatting with her best friend, Xia Xinyi never had any romantic involvement with any male peers, whereas Xu Guan's boyfriend used the pretext of asking questions about schoolwork to chat with Xia Xinyi every single day.

Sensing the dozen or so overwhelming auras emanating from the Earth Immortal Hall in Kunwu Palace, Li Qiankun understood the situation instantly.

If he couldn't pull out a high-difficulty dance routine that would dazzle everyone on the spot by then, he wouldn't bother changing it into a song-and-dance performance.

The public would inevitably raise questions: why on earth would he, Su Chen, an outsider who had come to Gucheng as a college student three years ago, become embroiled in this incident?

Tens of thousands of people came to take the assessment this time, yet only a few hundred possessed the qualifications to become inner disciples.
