Volume 1, Chapter 23: A Web of Lies

As expected, Yoruichi Shihoin is truly a powerhouse. Even in such dire circumstances, she shows none of the panic typical of an ordinary person, facing the loss of her sight with remarkable composure.

Whenever they attempted to overtake, one person would always shift their gait slightly, crowding the narrow footbridge so that no one could pass.

The Blood Spirit Ancestor once said that for beings as formidable as the Blood Spirit Kings, only exceptionally powerful and specialized attacks could threaten their lives, such as the Divine Phoenix Flames unleashed by the union of Star Thirty-Six and Star Thirty-Seven, or the scorching fire breathed by the Cloud Lion.

The world is full of ingenious craftsmen, yet due to the era's emphasis on agriculture over industry, most remained obscure. Although Bai Xue’s knowledge was vast, a careful observation still failed to reveal which school or lineage this swordsmanship belonged to.

The silver blade pierced Lawyer Hai’s skin, and a thin line of blood trickled down without warning. Had the blade not been pressed against his throat, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

He resembled Palansha somewhat, yet he had the appearance of a man—red eyes, short hair—and compared to Palansha’s cuteness, Saint-Pus’s features were relatively ordinary.

All was silent, save for the tinkling sound of a nearby stream. Occasionally, a few birds would fly past, but they did not dare to sing aloud.

The restaurant was on the eighth floor of the IDS Center. They were currently in Minneapolis, adjacent to St. Paul; these two cities sat side by side, separated only by a river, forming one of the few twin-city regions in the United States.

The driver leaned out, ready to shout in rage, but was stunned into silence by the scene before him, his mouth hanging agape.

At the table behind Chu Haotian sat a group of young cultivators. Although their cultivation levels were lower than some, these fellows were currently boasting as if they could blow the sky away.

"What are you trying to do?" Wu Zhongsan roared, terrified that Xiong Hai might be tortured to death right at the gates of their Fengxian Sect.

Standing to the side, Qin Mengya could only glare at Murong Xue with hatred, her mind conjuring countless ways to torment her. Daring to seduce Brother Mo? She had a thousand ways to make her disappear. In Province A, she feared offending no one; for the Qin family, it was a matter of merely lifting a finger.

At last, we have made true contact with the existence of that master. If Chunlei is trapped inside, one can only wonder what kind of formation it might be.

Thus, at Qian Qingxi’s direction, everyone began to move in an orderly fashion.

This description—flesh and blood, moving and tragic, and laced with irony—was indistinguishable from reality, save for the fact that football had been replaced by table tennis.

First: given that he had not yet returned to 100% of his past life's level, playing against world-class competitors was somewhat difficult.

Hearing Jun Chenhan speak this way, Si Lvhen’s lips curled into an elusive smile before he let him go.

Even after seeing Liunian smile, Si Lvhen stubbornly pointed at his own lips, staring at Liunian.

The day after Lan Ling left, Wen Jiaren received a call from Meng Jingyi. She was getting married to Xiao Heng in a week, and upon hearing that Wen Jiaren had returned to City C, she was overjoyed and brought Xiao Heng with her that very day to deliver the wedding invitation in person.

He did not harbor the thought that this ball would guarantee a win, but just as Su Zhou’s return had gained an extra possibility, Ben was also doing his best to manifest more possibilities within himself.

It was in this climate that underground banks emerged. These bloodsuckers were notoriously heartless, charging a thirty-percent commission; in other words, if you laundered ten million, you would only walk away with seven.

Liu Chunsheng received Ding Hong in his office. After hearing her report, he fell into silence.

His affection was never timid; it was a pathologically possessive desire that bordered on insanity.

Su Fusheng controlled her with one hand while single-handedly beating those bodyguards with the other.

Fan Bingbing accompanied him on the side, but after a while, she felt bored and decided to wander around. She greeted Chen Yanqing and went for a stroll.

It wasn't until rumors broke out online that Xu Jiu might just be a substitute for Seventh Master Shen’s late wife that she felt a sense of relief and justice. Yet, seeing Lin Jiujiu completely unaffected in the classroom, she felt a surge of resentment.

Dong Xuan looked at Chen Yanqing with wide eyes; she knew he was rich and famous, but she hadn’t expected him to suddenly become a boss.

In order to finish the two embroidery pieces within the agreed time, she had to work quickly and truly had no time to look for a new place to move.

There were over a thousand energy crystals from the Void-Breaking Realm, along with more than a dozen fifth-tier weapons and four manuals of martial arts techniques.

Qin Siyuan was no longer a person with a disability; she could communicate normally and was a whole person.

Although the Earth-Gold Tiger was not a demonic beast, Chu He was almost a hundred percent certain that the large, single-horned white tiger was definitely one.

The area was sparsely populated. Although it was the territory of the Tianding Sect, few people visited, and it was sometimes used by disciples as a place for cultivation.

The combination of snacks, honey tea, and grilled fish had a unique flavor. Once full, the group lay back on the grass or the long cloths, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort, casting all their troubles far away.

Mu Zhaoyang sat in the main chair in the living room with his arms crossed, watching Ye Susu and Cheng Feng pace back and forth.

In a world without any special plot, wandering around aimlessly was far less efficient than following the task route recommended by the system.

However, before the person and the beast could collide, a series of explosions erupted in the distance, followed by the sight of an unremarkable mountain peak shattering entirely.

If something were to happen to Ye Feng, wouldn't they just return to the previous situation?

All the orcs stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the two surging black tides drawing ever closer.

Feng Ziling rolled her eyes at him, then noticed the Feng Ziling opposite her walking away. Then, Feng Ziling and Lin Yu began to merge, and a mist appeared, obscuring the vision of the two.

A young-looking wizard walked in, a strange smile in his eyes as he looked at them.
