Chapter 40: Is It Jealousy or Anger?

Lu Xi was furious, her knuckles white as she clenched her fists, struggling to restrain the urge to give this arrogant, scummy man a sound beating.

"Jiang Chen, are you out of your mind? Who are you calling cheap? You’re a man who hooked up with your girlfriend’s best friend, which is exactly why she became your ex."

"And now you’ve already got a new flame—how long have you even been together? If Chen Yiyi knew the things you just said, she’d slap you into oblivion just to feel some relief!"

However, although Lin Shanmei’s grandmaster-level cultivation had not yet been fully mastered and her techniques remained somewhat flawed, preventing her from unleashing her full potential, her combat instincts remained sharp. Even with an injured right leg, she was still able to evade Wang Ying’s barrage of attacks.

Zheng Jian, knowing his plan was half-successful, shamelessly begged the landlady and the others to treat Master Xing, hoping to increase their chances of success.

That outfit was a precious heirloom of her grandfather’s, only taken out to be worn during festivals and holidays.

That was all a long way off; for now, the most pressing matter was to finish preparing the meal at hand.

Chen Yunfeng kicked off with both legs, leaping backward violently while sweeping his long sword horizontally in an attempt to deflect the old man’s strike.

"Lord Yan..." Following Zhang Liang’s pained cry, the entire Storm Legion knelt down in unison before Yan Beifeng.

Yaxian had no desire to clash with an unknown Earth Spirit Master, so he passed the matter up to his superiors.

After all, they were both experts in internal energy with strong emergency reflexes, yet they still failed to block the attack.

However, thanks to his divine consciousness, Lin Fan was able to easily peer through the dense mist permeating the formation.

Countless wronged souls wailed within the river as hellfire erupted incessantly, its sickly green glow casting the entire world in an eerie, ghastly light.

Upon learning of a streamer who had transfigured into a parallel world, the General Manager of Apple’s advertising department slammed his desk, immediately deciding to hire him to create an advertisement for Apple.

The Abyss Captain gave a cold smirk; he was absolutely confident in his own strength. If he couldn't even kill a semi-saint, he might as well be dead.

The next moment, the flower-fox marten in his arms shot out, growing exponentially in mid-air until it transformed into a massive beast that blotted out the sky.

If the exchange rate for fan tips from various planes and planets to interstellar credits was ten to one, then each album cost roughly fifty credits.

Once packed, Yao Ran led the group on foot toward the towering chimney of the blast furnace visible in the distance. The atmosphere was lighthearted, as many of them were young, or could simply be called children.

In truth, Yao Ran was also weighing his options. While the fracture could be healed, the results wouldn't be immediate; it would take at least two months to see any real progress. He couldn't wait two months just to judge the outcome.

After surveying the terrain, the three of them held little hope of catching the snakehead fish, but they continued to creep forward, hoping they might get lucky and stumble upon a foolish one that hadn't heard them coming, allowing them to snatch it up.

After Lu Lin finished signing the contract with Wu Mengda, he took the opportunity to introduce him to the other members of the studio.

Hearing Zhou Shan’s words now, he felt a surge of excitement, his expression shifting as he turned to Qin Qing.

With that, Sun Honglei turned and gave a few instructions to his assistant, who immediately ran off—presumably to buy the album.

A few days later, after seeing off Master Cao and the other relatives, Old Madam Ye finally had the time to turn her attention back to the affairs of the Ye family.

When a person dies, they are led into their designated Yama Hall. There, the judge and Yama of that hall determine, based on the individual's past deeds, which hell they should be sent to, how many levels deep they should go, and what punishments they should face, all according to a set of established rules and regulations.
