Volume 1, Chapter 34: Deep-sea Predation and the Encounter with the "Giant Thief"

While Rong’er was busy searching for clothes in the wardrobe, Leng Yu leaned over to look at herself in the mirror, reaching out to touch her reflection. Although this medicine would not dissolve upon contact with water, she was now worried about encountering other unforeseen circumstances.

"Grab it!" someone shouted. Liang Yin rushed forward, and just as she was about to seize the Heart of Eternity, Andy suddenly exerted force, hurling the Heart of Eternity into the abandoned building directly opposite Liang Yin.

A concubine? Leng Yu arched her brows. It seemed she would have to play the role of the sacrificial lamb again today. However... a gentle smile appeared on her lips, while a cold sneer formed in her heart. Weren't they calling her over today specifically to force her to speak about that matter?

Men are just like that; they have no interest in the meat placed right before them, preferring instead to gnaw on tough bones. That is where they find the challenge, and only then do they feel a sense of accomplishment. In short, to put it simply, they are just "asking for it."

"You could say that, but you could also say otherwise; it depends on your own wishes. You did say you would listen to me," Feiyu said, his voice rising.

Liang Yin smiled unconsciously and reached out to grasp the Staff of Eternity. The staff lay quietly in mid-air, but the moment Liang Yin approached it, it suddenly flared with intense brilliance, as if using all its strength to repel her. Ignoring the staff's warning entirely, Liang Yin stood on her tiptoes, on the verge of claiming it.

Leng Wuxuan blinked, unable to decipher the riddles his two brothers were exchanging. However, upon hearing that Lin Hanxi would also be attending the banquet, his mood brightened considerably; he ceased caring about their plans and couldn't be bothered to ask further.

Mou Mou struggled to piece together a viable path, but her thoughts kept sinking into a quagmire: "No evidence + suspicious + demon beast lineage + spy = Lance = a threat to Eicacia = Andy will definitely not let this go," leaving her unable to extricate herself.

"If you're tired, go back and rest," Fiona said, placing the tube back onto the rack. It made a crisp, pleasant clinking sound.

"What did you say? Kidnapping?" Zhou Chu actually found it absurd. How could a great nation resort to such acts of kidnapping?

Qin Sihao did not answer. He summoned a waiter to order food, lit a cigarette, and said, "It’s nothing, I just feel a bit stifled." He opened a bottle of beer, poured a glass, and downed it in one gulp.

This time, Princess Wangyue’s heart made a "pop" sound, as if a balloon had been punctured, and it rapidly withered away. Simultaneously, a jet of black blood erupted from her heart like a fountain, splashing directly onto Gao Peng’s face.

Being able to vent her frustrations like this before leaving—even though she lost a few thousand yuan, which stung a little—Lin Xi smiled happily at the thought of her own heroic spirit, especially since the compensation Lin Feng offered was far better than this place.

"Cheng Qingyun! Get away from me! I don't like you at all, and I won't go with you!" Qi Rou cried out, refusing to give in.

"Also, I want Qin Feng to mobilize some trustworthy soldiers from the county office to accompany me in the battle at Qingfeng Mountain. By the way, help me keep an eye on Feng Qi’s henchmen at the county office; if they are trapped there and prove stubborn, kill them!" Liyue looked at Qin Feng, suddenly noticing Ding Nian, who was lounging nearby.

Luffy began to sway his feet up, down, left, and right. Everyone stared intently at his feet. Seeing them twitching incessantly, the Siamese cat let out a low, angry growl.

The sudden appearance of the blood-colored silhouette stunned many of the powerhouses from the Soul Underworld Sect. Clearly, even they were unaware that such a mysterious expert existed within their ranks.

"Then is everything else at my disposal?" Cheng Qingyun’s voice grew heated, his throat bobbing involuntarily.

As Su Yao spoke, her gaze seemed to cling to his face, yet his expression remained unchanged, revealing not a ripple of emotion in his eyes.

On the other side, Bai Mo and Mu Bai were investigating the home of a family that frequently sold food at the market.

Cracks suddenly appeared on Gu Yan’s bronze-colored skin, from which a luster like flowing magma emanated.

Thinking that Qu Tao refused to let him hold her perhaps because she disliked him, Prince Ning felt that even though the girl had allowed him to come along, he still couldn't bring himself to be happy.

The Third and Fourth High Schools were built facing each other. Both were top-tier key high schools in the city, and the top students who emerged from the middle school entrance exams made the two schools compete like bitter enemies.

However, this alone was enough to make him feel flattered. To be honest, he never even thought he would have the chance to meet the head of the family in person.

Zhang Wei swallowed the chicken, took a sip of his cocktail, patted his stomach comfortably, and smiled at Zhang Xiao.

He swiped his palm forward, carrying countless mystical symbols, profound meanings, and the exclusive sigils of various fierce beasts.

Hu Yifei slammed on the horn—*beep, beep, beep, beep*—and the cars along the way immediately swerved to avoid her. Looking at the SUV as it shot past them, the drivers, who had been shouting profanities, were left stunned.

"Are you sure that, like this, we can pull the wool over their eyes?" Tang Youyou’s accent had transformed into that of an authentic Indian.

Shen Shushu, however, did not notice his strangeness, trusting Old Cen’s words completely and without a shred of doubt.

"The Loose Immortal Realm!" Huang Meng gritted his teeth, a hint of undeniable despair flashing in his eyes. If no demon from the Loose Immortal Realm had appeared, even if more than ten demon cultivators of the Dao Core Realm had invaded, he would have believed he had a fighting chance. But ever since this demon, who hadn't even revealed a hint of his aura, appeared, he felt a sense of utter powerlessness.

"Yes, Young Master." Receiving the young man's order, the officer hesitated no longer. With a single command, the soldiers before them instantly aimed all their guns at the brothers of the Zifeng Society; if the other side made even the slightest move, they would immediately open fire and kill them all.

Wen Jing curled her lip. He was hardly the knightly type; he was clearly a rogue. Knights were supposed to be upright and serious—how could he be a knight? Even if he claimed to be one, she certainly wasn't a princess.

The people from "Thunderfire" and "Brave Ones" had encountered many survivors, so they didn't pay much attention, feeling instead a sense of anticipation. In the eyes of many survivors, they descended like saviors coming to their rescue.

Seeing two golden-armored giants who looked quite similar to himself suddenly appear before him, the Golden Giant roared in fury and swung his fists to strike them.

"Why do you say that?" Captain Alexanderson asked while using a ruler to calculate points on the radar screen.

Su Yun had remained silent until now; she did not want to interfere in the affairs between the Zhenghua Group and Daming Pharmaceuticals. After all, Su Yun represented the municipal party committee and the city government; she could not speak carelessly.
