She bit her lower lip hard, offering no resistance to Qu Bainan's inspection.
Yet a moment later, Qu Bainan let go.
With a gloomy face, he looked at the submissive Chen Su, tossed the showerhead aside, and turned to walk out.
The moment the door closed, Chen Su turned to look at himself in the mirror.
His skin was fair, showing no traces of intimacy.
Only...
If it was as Uncle Liu Yuezhang had said, that the ones who slaughtered his family were not just people from the Blood Alliance, then who else could it be?
Unable to fall asleep, he could only take out his phone, pull up a photograph of Gu Xiaoxiao, and imagine her sometimes coquettish and sometimes lively expressions. He closed his eyes, and after God knows how long, he finally drifted off to sleep.
The main estate of Beiquanquan has always kept a low profile, but this time it suddenly released its most promising disciple to participate in an extra trial match, and even stated that they did not want the Pill of Origin Foundation. Doesn't Ling Yun's participation make it look more like the main estate is simply showing off its strength?
Yet Pei Sijie taught her a vivid lesson about the survival rules of the entertainment industry through his own actions: if you want to get by in showbiz, you can never lower your guard against others. You must remain vigilant at all times and never assume you can rest easy just because it is a school.
Even if he waited for Xu Wei and the others to leave the Sifang Market, the opponents would surely have been on guard for a long time, and with so many people having witnessed it, trying to leave not a single trace would probably be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He turned around and strode out of the woods. Before long, a shrill, miserable scream and the sound of a bone snapping echoed from outside the grove.
Mu Yuchen picked her up and moistened her throat. Seeing that she was still completely out of it, he hurriedly got up to dress her and went outside to wake Dewey and the others.
There were fourteen submachine guns in total, and two light machine guns—one produced by the system, and the other previously captured from the Peace Preservation Corps during the battle in Yang Village.
"Hey! What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of driving the car into a ditch?" Guo Buhuai said, somewhat speechless.
Following Old One-Arm's words, Ma Zhou, who was standing by and taking detailed notes, could no longer hold back.
The fat man's mind was filled entirely with action sequences from Hong Kong blockbuster films, along with all sorts of dashing military and police officers.
Ji Yunmo hurriedly waved his hand, glancing sideways at Ji Yunshu, who was still standing stiffly in the doorway, and instantly understood what was going on.
The elderly monk Miaoshan once again deployed his natal Buddha to fend off the attack, and the white jade statue of Guanyin burst forth with waves of blinding Buddhist light.
"Old Dowager, you treat Long Xiao so well, of course I should be a dutiful daughter-in-law to you in return," Xiahou Lele said with a smile.
This time, the villagers of Gujia Village did not block the way; instead, they very spontaneously stepped aside to let this old scoundrel get lost immediately.
With a hunch forming in his mind, Su Ye disembarked from the boat and purchased a dagger to conceal on his person. However, as he stepped out of the shop, he noticed a silver crucifix hanging inside. Driven by some inexplicable impulse, he walked back over and flipped it around; on the reverse side of the crucifix was an extremely faint scratch.
Even so, the strength of the top-tier cities in the other three great realms would likely still find it difficult to surpass the thirty-two branch cities of the Dark Demon Dynasty.
After taking a shower, she did not walk out wearing just a nightgown as she usually did, but instead put on loungewear—specifically, the kind of loungewear that would be completely appropriate for going out on the street.

Right then, Yuan Hong took the money and food coupons and headed out. He wanted to ask the fellow villagers what good food they had at home, and he was willing to pay double the price to whip up a couple of nice dishes for Yuan Xilan and her companion.

Su Yang's great name was naturally very familiar to them, and the combat effectiveness of Su Yang's troops was even clearer to them.
