Chapter 52: Had the Sugar Cube Been Tampered With?

"Rest assured, Ranran, I know what I'm doing. Just leave the arrangements to me," Zuo Jiaqi said gently.

Shi Ran desperately wanted to tell her that she clearly had no idea what she was doing.

Obviously, what she was worried about wasn't spending money; she was simply afraid that the private room's soundproofing was too good. If Zuo Jiaqi tried any tricks and made a move against her, no one would be able to call the police in time.

She was walking into the trap herself, not feeding herself to a wolf.

...

"I can understand why you'd want my blood... but what are the ribs for?" Tan Guangye asked with a puzzled expression.

Therefore, even though Ji Hanye was immediately taken down by Boss using an EMP, compared to Boss, that Necromancer was clearly much harder to deal with.

Countless bolts of lightning crashed down, winding and twisting, one after another, followed by countless more bolts blanketing a radius of a thousand meters around them.

However, if the second possibility was true, it meant they might have run into a remarkably tricky pursuer.

Xu You could not even begin to imagine the spectacle of a nuclear-grade powerhouse at the half-step Heavenly Realm throwing a tantrum.

Fang Zong rushed out of the water, opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of cool mountain spring water, and just as he was about to smile, his expression suddenly froze.

Early that morning, bright sunlight filtered through the clouds and spilled onto the ground, making everything grow blazing hot.

Yet she only thought about it, because once they started expanding the coverage of the Nine Cauldrons Protecting the Country, the entire world would be stirred into action. By then, successive grand battles might even end up damaging the Earth.

At the very first opportunity, she would rack her brains to flirt with and tease him. Then, watching him suppress the turbulence within his heart while pretending to be calm, her mood became indescribably delightful. She had finally vented the pent-up resentment in her chest.

Elder Fu was a commander of the Northeast Field 288th Military District who had achieved stellar merits and enjoyed a far-reaching reputation. Holding the highest military rank of General, he was known as the "Northeast Wolf," famed for his iron-fisted methods, formidable strength, and eccentric temper.

After the tattooed man muttered a string of incomprehensible words to Simon, he kept his arms flung wide open. The white light generated by the lightning flickered intermittently across his uniquely tattooed face, instantly exuding an undeniable charm, before he suddenly whispered a single line.

Are you kidding me? The Emperors' Tombs were entities capable of crushing space; most of them were buried within endless, chaotic dimensions. Without the strength to survive in spatial turbulence, even thinking about going there was sheer suicide.

Instead, she planned to take a detour through Pingzhou and return to Sixi Town in Song County first to check on her mother and the others. When she had left Sixi Town back then following her father Jiang Yunxian, her younger brother Hua Xiacao was only five years old. Now she was sixteen, and her brother was eleven years old.

She clicked on the first level, placed a newly harvested stalk of tranquil quiet orchid onto the poison-mixing tray, and then cautiously clicked the confirm button.

Yu Mixing periodically concocted medicinal soups for the experimental patients to drink, mostly tonics meant to nourish the root and cultivate vitality, all to replenish what their bodies had consumed.

Presumably, the owner of this courtyard must be someone of status. If so, there was no need to worry about the corpse; someone would surely handle the trouble here properly.

As for the hundreds of Taoist priests who had miraculously escaped the range of the pushing force's shockwave, they were so terrified that they summoned their flying swords again and fled wildly for several miles.

"But..." Actually, Siya wanted to go as well, but knowing her status, she would only become a burden to these loyal men. It seemed she had no choice but to stay here and guard the critical strategic point.

Facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded. He merely raised one hand to block his eyes, and the next moment, he was engulfed by the volley. Where the arrows struck his body, a continuous clanging sound of metal rang out.

"Huh?" Lu Tianwei opened his eyes and looked at the spider girl with a question mark on his head, suddenly noticing juice and mashed fruit pulp on her hands and face. He saw that there were still plenty more behind her.

However, had Fusu landed that sword earlier, it would inevitably have left him severely wounded, making him much easier to deal with when the time came.
