Chapter 34: Are You Convinced Yet?
Zhao Chen cast an inquiring glance at Pan Yumei, who hurriedly explained, "This is Boss Chang, whom I just mentioned to you. He is also a jadeite enthusiast and often comes to our shop to cut raw stones."
Chang Hao looked at Zhao Chen with an arrogant expression and provoked him, "Well, brother, do you dare to make a bet?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? But what if you don't eat it?" Zhao Chen examined the man with a playful look.
This Boss Chang was around thirty years old, with a short buzz cut, a double chin, and a stout, bear-like build. Zhao Chen didn't know him at all, yet the man was proactively provoking him; he was either insane or simply too arrogant.
Chang Hao said contemptuously, "Then we’ll raise the stakes. You..."
In the vast bedroom, a chill wandered about. On the mysterious ice bed, Liuli felt the coldness of the couch for the first time. Anyone would feel terrible hearing their beloved call out another man's name in their sleep.
"So what if I recognize you? What exactly do you want to do?" Losing patience, Liuli slowly narrowed her cold, sharp eyes, and the radiance of the shimmering longsword in her hand gradually intensified.
Uncle Wang and Xia Xue looked at Ye Xuan, whose nose was pressed against the table, feeling quite strange. If Ye Xuan were crying his heart out, they might understand, but now... Ye Xuan’s demeanor was far too calm.
The Five-Thunder Blast struck the body of the Ice Source Giant Dragon fiercely. A series of powerful electrical currents and violent explosions turned the dragon's scales a fiery red, yet failed to inflict any substantial damage.
"Fourth Prince, please bring out your Hidden Dragon Ink Jade." Chen Yizhi led everyone to a stone gate, stopped, turned around, and spoke to Chu Nanxuan.
"Damn it!" Ouyang Pengcheng waved his hand, casting a Lightning Web spell backward. The Spider King bit into it, tearing the purple lightning web to shreds.
As he spoke, he kissed his two jade-like hands, spread out his fair palms, and with a soft puff, blew the two fragrant kisses far away.
Just as Lei Tian was preparing to search elsewhere, he suddenly sensed a faint aura approaching and immediately activated his invisibility spell.
A shocking, soul-stirring aura suddenly emerged. This energy radiated from Zhang Biao's body, catching Xue Hao off guard.
"I decide such things!" Luffy shouted loudly, then stretched his fist far behind him.
Without waiting for Xue Hao to reply, she grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed out in a flurry, kicking another hole in the door on her way out like a bandit on a raid.
After confirming that her soul was intact, An Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Opening her eyes, she looked at the forest, which had grown dark and eerie due to the night.
Old Qing’s voice echoed in Xue Hao’s mind, causing him to stop in his tracks. "What do you mean?" Xue Hao asked, puzzled.
Looking at the armed army of half-corpse humans through the lit torches, Wang Zhen felt a rare sense of relief.
Yu Yu nodded. Someone came to report from outside that people from the Sun-Moon Valley had arrived. This territory was under the jurisdiction of the Sun-Moon Valley, and the entire Duanfan City was jointly managed by several major sects, including the Sun-Moon Valley and the Li family of the Holy City. Since such an incident had occurred in broad daylight, they had to come and investigate regardless.
Just as the tea was lifted and before it touched his lips, the door to the private room was kicked open, and several young men charged in.
"That guy..." Luffy trembled, trying to lift his leg to walk forward, but he collapsed on the next step.
Gu Yuhan understood Lin Qihua's point and admired his perspective. The development of Chinese film, especially in the movie industry, had always been about learning from the West and referencing Hollywood. Due to various reasons, themes were heavily restricted; only martial arts themes could gain a modicum of recognition abroad.
Even with Mo Tianwei's imagination, which was as vast as a black hole, she never expected he would come up with such a reason to exonerate Chi Xiao.
Although Li Gengxin had already witnessed the masked man's strength and speed, he had not expected the opponent to be even more capable in actual combat.
Before Minglan Zhenjun could strike again with his sword, the Left Envoy of the Heavenly Demons laughed loudly. His entire phantom figure exploded into a cloud of black mist, wrapped around the young boy, and somehow vanished, leaving behind only a corpse—well, a mummified one.
Wang Da heard the commotion and came over from the kitchen. Seeing the two of them—one joyful and one angry—he hesitated and stopped.
Mo Tianwei took the disciple token back from Liu Lin and was about to leave when she noticed everyone staring at her with an incredibly strange gaze.
Mo Tianwei cleared out a crude cave dwelling on a cliffside on the mountainside. To her, it didn't matter where she lived; she was never one to take care of her own life anyway.
Even he had been fooled just now, thinking Teng Sichen would refuse. He hadn't expected her to just be teasing He Jinsi.
The second image depicted the man's "superego" defeating his "id" and "ego," becoming the man's dominant personality.
However, before he could speak, He Jinsi, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned his head to look at him.
"I am sorry, but for the sake of our lives, I helped you set a location the moment you initiated your teleportation. This is one of the countless entrances leading to the myriad worlds of the starry universe within the Path of the Heavens," the young boy replied through telepathy in his left palm.
Xi Mo paused there, his eyes suddenly turning gold. He then waved one hand, and silver chains appeared on his right arm, instantly binding Xue Lan tightly.
"It’s just that this disciple worries that those older masters may not necessarily listen to me," Zhang Tianzic said.
Therefore, expecting Yang Siqi to perfect a powerful army on his own was nothing but a pipe dream; it was simply impossible. Thus, he had to rely on Ma Mengshi's wisdom.
Bai Luo carefully read the relevant regulations of the hunting grounds. There were no excessive restrictions for gifted individuals; in other words, if you were a gifted individual and wanted to use mental power, as long as you didn't feel that consuming potions was a waste of money, you could do as you pleased.
Inside the Tree of the Three Realms, the rich spiritual energy rushed toward them, making one feel refreshed and relaxed. The huge, broad leaves were shaped somewhat like those of a London plane tree and were quite beautiful.
Lin Yuan and his three dependents returned to the real world. On the research ship of the Vientiane Research Society, he did not hesitate to activate the semi-plane of the Dreamscape, forcing the two semi-planes to collide and annihilate each other.
Looking at another room in the hotel, He Xiangdong was also being disciplined. The boy was kneeling on the ground, looking pitifully at his master.
