Chapter 40: Falling into the Abyss

Lin Heng’s job was to shovel it up, pour it into a cart, and wheel it to the designated composting area.

The blood corpse had no concept of respecting the old or cherishing the young, slamming Yang Guang to the ground with a single heavy blow.

Sitting in a taxi with over ten minutes left until he reached home, Xu Yi felt bored and decided to draw a skill to pass the time.

Ji Fei lowered her head at the sound, only to realize that blood had soaked through her cheongsam; she had likely suffered an abrasion, and as the pain gradually sharpened, her face turned pale.

The silkworm let out a faint sound, whether in mockery or disdain, then lowered its head to continue nibbling on a leaf, moving slowly and without any sense of urgency.

If this matter could be resolved properly, it would certainly be difficult; one had to find a way to keep people under control.

“I’d better hurry and polish my resume; I’ll have to ask Yaya to help me submit it later.” Xiao Qingqing realized she had no more time to waste.

Fan Renkai’s messages came one after another, opening a new door for those who had never been exposed to the power struggles of the feudal lords.

Wen Yu, who had been leaning against a bluestone in the detached, high-minded pose of an expert looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, broke character in an instant; she turned nimbly to face Cui Xing and his group, who were returning with a bountiful harvest.

It was naturally impossible for her to have developed her Ruoyi Group to its current level through her own efforts alone.

Because the second sister didn't have many complicated thoughts, she agreed once Lin Yutong had specifically instructed her.

Watching from the side, Linda and Chen Xiao felt a deep sense of happiness; this must surely be one of the most blissful moments in the world.

She could not tell him how she had hacked into the Shengshi system, nor could she let him know how much research she had conducted on hacking.

Chu Hui escorted Huan Hua back to the General’s Mansion and met up with Chun’er on the way. Chun’er looked very unwell and listless.

“That’s great! You had me so worried I couldn’t even sleep!” Qiu Jiayi patted her chest and said.

By ten in the morning, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, and warm sunlight spilled into the bedroom through the uncurtained windows. Someone on the bed finally crawled out of another person’s embrace, feeling completely satisfied.

Su Qixi didn’t even know why she had come here; she had just been passing by in a taxi when she saw the sign and suddenly told the driver to stop.

She sneered again. Not only was the disguise technique brilliant, but this bitter-meat scheme was also quite clever. How could someone lay a hand on such a tiny child?

Seamus’s case proved the power of the potion; initially, he couldn't beat Goyle, but after drinking the potion, he managed to stack Goyle and Crabbe together and beat them both.

Ren Tingting ignored the two of them and went to the shrine, lit six sticks of incense, and handed three to Ren Fa.

Even the ladies at the KTV knew that one could only entertain one customer at a time, as jumping between tables never ended well. Yet, this Takuro Itakura had gone and taken on three at once.

Although he knew in his heart that this giant was enormous, Gao Ping was still shocked when he truly got close.

“Does the Commander like it?” Lexington blinked, clearly implying that if Mu Guang said he liked it, she would buy one immediately.

Ren Tingting jumped off the bed in joy, called the servants to prepare hot water for washing, and after respectfully offering incense to Gu Qianqiu at the shrine, she headed to the backyard.

As long as his grandson wanted to play, he could just buy him another one once the game pods from other companies hit the market.

It could be said that this distribution would inevitably stir up complex feelings among the young agents of the Qingcheng Management Bureau—especially those who were cultivators—who already suffered from PTSD regarding the Polar Star Demon Lord.

“At least I don’t smell that bad! I think you’ve been overusing your ‘five-finger girl,’ you pathetic basement dweller!” the dark-skinned girl retorted mercilessly.

He held his breath and concentrated, finally finishing the water-element talisman he had drawn countless times after five minutes of work.

“Hmph! By the time you return, Nie Tianxing will no longer exist; there will only be me, the true Nie Tianxing!” the evil Nie Tianxing sneered, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

Mo Tian even had the illusion that the mountain peak had grown a little, as if it were... growing up.

***

The Northern Sea God could not deny that the current Fang Qi was truly a different person from the resolute and daring man of moments ago; anyone could see that killing him now would be an easy task.

The group was not particularly surprised by Phillips’s suddenly produced imitation energy-gathering card, as they had long expected it; coming from the Hawaii base and possessing such strength, how could he not have something like that on him?

“Don’t worry, Senior, I will find a way, but you must endure for a few more days,” Nie Tianxing transmitted his voice.

The third "gate" of the waterfall, after being flooded by the rushing ghosts, finally opened slowly, and the giant black tortoise carved on the stone door suddenly let out a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens.

He knew that in a few years, Beijing would inevitably suffer from "natural disasters" like smog.

Finally, the performance of the two Flying Eagle members concluded amidst the applause and cheers of the audience. Even though the members of the Terminator Band were just there to make up the numbers, Wang Yaoyang still felt incredibly glorious, as if the audience’s enthusiasm was all for them; after two years in Zhonghai, he had finally held his head high.

Lying on his side on the water, he figured only Ye Bihuang could pull off such a pose; it was truly dashing, no different from lying on the clouds. Just imagine, how cool would it be to strike such a pose in the vast, deep blue sea?

Leng Tong was at the late stage of the Immortal Monarch realm, and with his powerful cultivation, a single full-force strike sent the Young City Lord vomiting blood, flying hundreds of meters away.

Thousands of bees swirled above Chen Shiren’s subordinates, mistaking them for the culprits who had poked their nest and kept them from sleeping in the middle of the night.

“Therefore, a large part of the suffering endured by Young Master Xu is the fault of Zhou Mi, and since Zhou Mi was sent by you, Sect Leader Hu, you are also an accomplice,” Xiao He looked at Hu Feng with certainty, twisting facts and stirring up trouble to drag him into the mess.

However, seeing that the Second Aunt was perfectly fine, she actually managed to let Liu Haizhong swagger back to extort Yi Zhonghai.

An Yan put all the cake trimmings into the cat bowl, filling it to the brim, and the two cats were eating with great relish under the table.
