Chapter 158: Mortification

Hearing her father standing right behind her, Yang Yuxiang was instantly so frightened of her wits that her pretty face turned pale as a sheet.
Given the strict family rules of the Yang household, it was already a grave offense for an unmarried maiden to run out on her own, let alone visit a brothel.
Being grounded upon her return would be a lenient punishment; she was quite likely to be beaten on the palms and forced to kneel as repentance.
At this thought, she turned around and dropped to her knees, stammering out an explanation: "Ah, Father, I'm sorry..."

"That itching powder incident at the Hundred Flower Banquet..." Lu Xue felt as though she had been used, yet at the same time, it seemed she hadn't.

The white light collided with the black fissure. In an instant, the winds and clouds surged, the stars shifted in the heavens, and the earth collapsed.

Long Jueying felt a creeping chill as those gazes locked onto him. A cold shiver ran down his spine, and he immediately averted his eyes.

As soon as he spoke, Li Caizhe, standing beside him, was somewhat astonished. The old master never attended anyone's banquets or dinners; he never expected him to actively propose attending today. This showed just how much importance the old master attached to Chen Yexin.

Although it remained a mystery how that Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon had found out that Long Jueying had obtained the Heavenly Dao inheritance.

Becoming a zombie was perhaps one of the more dignified ways to die, because at least the corpse would not bloat.

Upon hearing this, Qi Lifu was startled at first, and then gripped his handgun even tighter.

"Of course not!" That was his most respected elder brother; how could he ever do such a thing?

The space before Zhang Ruochen vibrated, and the sand on the ground began to warp. Those fiery red ants rushing out from beneath the sand looked as though they were drunk, swaying unsteadily as their bodies twisted and distorted along with the sandy ground.

He had always been an open-minded person. Since the boy did not wish to continue his advanced studies abroad, he might as well arrange for him to stay by his side as a bodyguard. Firstly, with the boy under his watchful eye, nothing would go wrong; secondly, it would provide him with a secure job where he wouldn't have to worry about food or clothing.

Just walking back from Liang Yan's place had already exhausted him thoroughly, yet now he had to go out searching for someone in the dead of night, with no guarantee of actually finding them.

Never in her wildest dreams had she expected to lose to the innocent and adorable Cen Kexin. In his eyes, she was mere worthless grass, while Cen Kexin must be a priceless treasure.

Yunyou gazed at the Dragon Soul Space. The Dragon Soul Space was transparent and completely empty inside. He smiled triumphantly as he crawled out from the black orb, tapping here and kicking there against the bounds of the Dragon Soul Space to find an entrance, deciding it was the most suitable place for him to stay.

Chen You extended his index and middle fingers, gently pressing them against Qi Ming's forehead. A sudden roar echoed within Qi Ming's mind, and a massive influx of information flooded his consciousness. He hurriedly reined in his wandering thoughts and began to process the overwhelming torrent of data.

The moon broke free from the dark clouds. Shen Jun looked at the back of his hand, where there were blood stains and five distinct tooth marks left by Hua Qing's bite.

She had still been worrying that the relationship between Lin Xiaohan and Wei Yesi would remain estranged forever. Turns out, these two were already deeply in love! And now, they even had a child together.

A chilling gaze swept across the room. Han Siyou rose to his feet, his chair scraping harshly against the floor, and spat out a curse.

The man lowered his voice, sounding somewhat impatient and visibly annoyed at being disturbed: "Speak." He had been enjoying the view, and being tracked down all the way here was truly vexing.

Shen Jun stored his vehicle inside the Dragon Soul Space and walked toward the town gates. Ignoring the two guards, he gazed at the three dark, weathered characters on the town gate: West Sun Town. They looked ancient and vicissitudinous, as if they had weathered the baptism of countless ages and frosts.

"Why is your Mahayana Monastery targeting the Bodhisattva Fang? Aren't you all practitioners of the Buddhist path?" Luo Guichen asked after changing his clothes.

The strength of these Anbu operatives was truly no different from ants beneath Madara's feet, especially when facing the Rinnegan.

Ma Xinyi was dazed for quite a while, staring at him blinklessly. No one had ever called her cute before, nor did she consider herself cute at all.
