Volume 1, Chapter 34: Borrowing a Car for the Return

Li Xiao caught Jiang Mu’s gaze and smiled knowingly.

“Is the young hero looking to borrow my carriage?”

Jiang Mu nodded, but his eyes shifted to Old Wu, who stood to the side.

“Furthermore, I need this gentleman to accompany me!”

“Me?”

I let out a cold snort. Although I knew Chang Xuan’s words were meant to provoke me, I was still deeply annoyed. Thinking of setting me up? Hmph, we shall see who ends up setting whom.

“You are going to ruin your health like this.” The aqua-colored nightgown was far too large, hanging loosely off her frame. Her collarbones were sharply defined, made even more prominent by her thinness. Mu Xuefu looked at the frail Mu Yurong, her eyes misting over until her gaze was obscured by a veil of tears.

After repeatedly using this excuse to psych herself up, Tang Guo felt much more at ease.

The demonic energy had fully gathered. Those two giant axes shone as brightly as two blue arc lamps; they were so dazzling that one could hardly look at them. I squinted, watching Mo Jie’s movements. It was about to begin.

Niu San left with his band of scoundrels. The deputy captain shared a few laughs with Ye Bai as he emerged, then left after accepting two boxes of fine cigarettes.

The white-haired youth bowed at a ninety-degree angle and shouted, “General, these three claim to be from China and wish to enter the city to see General Xiao, but they refuse to cooperate with our inspection.” As he spoke, he pointed toward the three of us.

The reason the Heavenly Dao took action against the Zombie Clan and the Mao and Ma families was that the gates to the Pangu Continent were about to appear. To enter, one must possess the six keys required to successfully open the way.

Looking again at the chessboard, the black and white pieces intertwined; amidst the slaughter, it revealed a landscape of crisscrossing paths and the thriving pulse of all living things.

Coordinating with Du Zhan, Lin Zhixiao began calculating how to push Yu Ruyan into Director Wu’s arms.

“We can consider continuing negotiations for the other overseas projects. Select the suitable ones and sign the contracts.” With the Detong matter resolved, he could officially launch his assault on the international market.

What remained of Xue Hu, and where was his former high-spirited vigor? His once burly frame had withered to a shadow of itself. His hair was a tangled mess, his face covered in stubble, and his clothes were stained with dried blood, radiating a foul odor.

Their household was hiring a large number of staff, which would inevitably bring in a mixed bag of people. If even a few spies were planted among them, the secret of the glass might be discovered.

Jiang Wuye let out a roar, his blood boiling violently as his aura doubled in an instant. Blood-red energy erupted like madness from every pore of his body, converging onto his Qilin Arm. The limb expanded to its absolute limit; while its power differed from that of a true Qilin, its appearance was identical.

Han Ruobing knew in her heart that Xiao Jun was no ordinary man; he had military training and possessed impressive skills.

If this film hadn’t been such a hot topic lately, it wouldn’t have attracted people of their caliber to the screening.

I find it strange. What’s so strange about it? Isn’t it strange that I pester you day after day, yet you remain completely indifferent?

For this reason, the Shen family specifically sent someone over to apologize. There was no help for it; after all, the Chen family were now their in-laws, and the incident had occurred under their roof.

After touring the studio, Ronan headed to Stage Two to find Matt O’Connor, a vehicle and vessel prop designer who had just joined the crew, to discuss the critical issue of the sailboat.

He had expected to see a deluge of text messages as he had in the past. Even though those messages had been nonsense that made him frown in annoyance, they had gradually become a habit. Every night, he would open his phone to check the messages the girl had sent him.
