Volume One, Chapter 143: The Divine Brother

Zhou Niannian may look young, but she is a clever little fox.

She saw at a glance that Yu Shushu’s feelings for Shen Zhaowu were far from ordinary.

To say she disliked him? That didn't seem to be the case at all.

But to say she liked him...

That would be too strange.

At this moment, Fang Zhongyong, with a heart set on a single path, charged forward regardless of the consequences, pressing on without a second thought.

But now, the situation had changed. One dragon was gravely wounded and had yet to recover its strength, while the other—the one in full health—had to expend a massive amount of energy to bring their offspring into the world. Moreover, a dragon is at its most vulnerable immediately after giving birth, which was precisely why they dared to come and stir up trouble for this pair.

"Of course you think it's a good idea since you're using someone else's resources. By the way, how many men are you planning to send?" Waltz asked as the three of them descended the staircase.

"Suyi, but I took it seriously!" After saying this, Lin Zimo pulled over a chair to sit beside Suyi, then added with a solemn expression, "There is one more thing, regarding Zhou Shuling." As soon as Suyi saw Lin Zimo’s face, she knew it likely wasn't good news.

By severing the ties between the examinees and the examiners, all sense of gratitude for mentorship and advancement was funneled directly toward the Emperor.

If Yang Liu hadn't caught me just now, I would have truly tumbled off the cliff and met my end!

Fortunately, thanks to ample preparation and the fact that Dilos’s efficiency in extracting energy far exceeded his previous capabilities, he managed to replenish the crystalline true essence within his body in just half a night.

Dai Zong’s face remained sallow, and he looked deathly ill, a ruse so convincing it left no room for doubt. Seeing it was Xiao Tang, he parted his lips in a dry, thin smile and nodded, though the expression was so crooked and strained it looked painful.

That old fool Wang Zeng—he’s already at death’s door, yet he refuses to step down and insists on dragging me down with him. Lu Yijian cursed silently, wishing every kind of misfortune upon Wang Zeng’s mother and ancestors thousands of times over.

That night, many were restless, but our dear Liu Zining slept soundly. After all, she had been busy for a day and a night, so she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. In her dreams, she had no idea that she had become the target of various people's schemes.

This is a strategy of throwing lives away; once they are exhausted and spent, the waves of demons are held back. It is a highly inefficient way to fight.

I am a top-tier white-collar professional, a manager-level figure—you want me to go to a construction site and move bricks? Who would be happy about that?

Because the captain of the mercenary squad liked to spray gunfire with his eyes closed; there was a perverse satisfaction in racking up kills that way.

Suddenly, a river spirit emerged from thin air, radiating a dense, suffocating aura of resentment, just like the monk before him.

However, if the White Snake had never cultivated any techniques or mental arts, she might not have been as formidable as the peak-level tribulation practitioner Wangyou, but her physical body alone should have been enough to crush Pianpian.

"I... I can't seem to find a point I can break through with my bare hands..." Tang Tianyou’s thoughts raced, but his opponent was already closing in again with another sword strike. Subconsciously, he retreated, taking the third step—the very last step he could take within the confines of the rules.

Seeing that she was surrounded by men who only sought to curry favor with her and were unable to counter her moves, Shen Ruoning left in a huff.

Why is it that all along the way, I have felt a sense of awe, almost fear, toward a brute like Li Biao?

Han Yuan gorged himself on meat and soup, and because he was eating at someone else's expense, he felt an extra sense of satisfaction—it was a tremendous bargain, after all.

Subsequently, Xu Chuan cast a series of incantations, but once they dissolved into the air, nothing seemed to change.

The long-range attacks from Xia Huo and Hai Tongtian followed one after another. Although Nado relied on his superior defense, he was forced to adopt a strategy of evasion when faced with their desperate assault. Yet, at this moment, he finally realized how formidable Luo Luo truly was.
