Volume 1, Chapter 36: While You Are Young, Give It Your All

"You must understand that once you sign a relationship contract with me, there is no possibility of breaking it. Because the consequences of breach are something you cannot bear."

Mo Lingcheng’s voice was soft, but the firmness and solemnity embedded in his words made Shen Qingqing dare not take them lightly.

Shen Qingqing looked up, gazing into his eyes, which were as deep as the sea. Suddenly, she had an illusion: as if once she stepped into this vast ocean, she would never again have the chance to set foot on land.

But, so what? She had nothing to begin with; the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Shen Qingqing opened her mouth and bit down hard on his thumb. "I’m putting my seal on it first, just so you don't go back on your word."

In the afternoon, the setting sun was like blood. Inside the tent of the Grave-Digging Quartet, a cold wind suddenly blew through, followed by silence.

Even in middle age, Yang Qionghui still possessed a charming temperament, looking dignified, graceful, and wealthy.

The back garden of the Lurker base is the most favorable map for the Lurkers to defend, as there are only two directions from which enemies can attack: the Lurker base platform or from the direction of Room B.

"Hey, Old Fourth, let me tell you, Zhu Xunjiang and that Liu Linque are hanging out at a club tonight. Looking at it, they intend to stay there overnight..." Zhou Dagui whispered.

Furthermore, the matter of being framed regarding the cosmetics had been perfectly resolved, and now she had even garnered a great deal of sympathy.

Zhang Yifei had indeed held the ball for too long. Having not scored a single goal for so long, he was quite unwilling to accept it and had become stubborn with himself, determined to score at any cost.

"Wait..." Alpha seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted by a crisp, decisive voice.

The eye of every formation is the most core and secret place; to break a formation, finding the eye is the key.

After this period of recovery, it had regrown rotten flesh and internal organs and had taken on a human shape, no longer a mass of shredded meat. A bloodthirsty low growl emanated from its throat, and its bloody intestines, acting like tentacles, launched an attack, tightly wrapping around Ling Xiu’s left foot.

This fate had not changed in the slightest. It was the work of an immortal, which could not help but make the alchemist feel excited. If it were that Master of Longevity Temple, perhaps his own short-lived fate could truly be cured.

The moment his technique seal was completed, thick wooden bars suddenly grew from the ground around him. Those bars wrapped directly around Dongfang Yunyang, growing wildly.

Everyone completely lost their voices, eyes wide open. Just a moment of thought was enough to make cold sweat cascade uncontrollably down their cheeks.

"I’ll go, I’ll go, is that enough?" Ji Meina shook her body, shrugging off the goosebumps, and then went to open the door.

Old Lady Le only said half of what she knew, making the matter appear even more baffling and incredible, leaving people unable to make head or tail of it.

However, Yamato Takeda did not immediately agree to Da-ben Jiaodu’s request. After all, it was not yet confirmed that Ishikawa Reika had sacrificed herself. He hoped to wait a while longer and confirm the situation before making a decision.

Subsequently, professionals from both Buddhist and Taoist circles jointly studied it and finally concluded: it was merely a coincidence.

That’s true; it’s so boring on the plane, and now that there’s finally a show to watch, who would go back to organize things?

Jiang Changan let out a muffled groan as the meridian filled with yin wind bulged slightly on his arm. It slowly traveled through his entire body, as if a piece of extreme ice had broken in. His whole body shuddered. Jiang Changan gritted his teeth and let out a low shout, extending the Six Realms Prison Spirit Fire to guide this baleful energy, dispersing it to fill his entire body and leading it into every corner.

The loli gripped the hilt with both hands; it no longer looked like a short blade, but was entirely a beam of strong light. Her pure white sailor suit was reflected into blue, fluttering without wind to reveal a smooth, flat sliver of her stomach. Her trousers were still those short denim shorts.

She understood that the man with powerful magic before her was by no means an ordinary person. Such a man is very guarded and would not easily discuss cooperation with a stranger.

Oulei smashed her club onto a warrior charging up, but she felt as if she had struck a shield of gold and iron.

At such close range, Lin Ye could almost see the sharp, bristling fur on the giant gray wolf.

"My parents also checked the surveillance and didn't find anything; it was just bad luck," Han Dong said helplessly, blaming his own misfortune. Why, among so many chairs, did only his suddenly crack?

"..." Lin Ye also seemed to understand something; a ring of black lines appeared on his forehead.

The place they were in was far from Rong City. They had to take a bus to the city first, and then a high-speed train to Rong City.

After a long time, Han Chunying and the others returned to the Huayun Marquis Mansion. The thunderstorm had dissipated, and there was not a trace of life left.

A massive ghost pirate ship appeared in the sky, instantly shrouding the Pineapple House in darkness.

He looked not far away at the two red-bodied, heavy-armored pig-like monsters—the Bloodthirsty Tanks.

After you drink the White Jade Potion, you can take a short rest. Once your condition recovers, you will still need to undergo a series of examinations.

"Well, we Chinese don't like to name children after their ancestors. Westerners believe this is respecting and worshipping ancestors, while in our Chinese view, that is a sign of impoliteness."

Meteor asked, "I understand. You mean using multiple repeated shots, similar to gunpowder firearms?"

Tier-Xuan demonic beasts—if seen, there is absolutely no reason to let them go. Moreover, they now wanted to test exactly how their cultivation stood. Although the two practiced against each other daily, both feared hurting the other, so their strikes were only seven-tenths, like scratching an itch through a boot.

No wonder so many people fail at this level of the barrier. Such cultivation truly requires someone with extraordinary willpower and exceptional luck to have a chance at passing.

This could be called a "one stone, three birds" strategy at the time: it eliminated Cai Yong, a hidden danger who could not be used for one's own purposes; it seized the relevant data on the ancient relics; and at the same time, it gained the loyalty of two heroes.

Because the Wu Kingdom's defensive hero Zhou Yu was killed, the enemy's middle lane remained empty for three full days. In these short three days, Luna had almost swept through with the momentum of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, killing her way directly to the enemy's middle-lane second tower.

The First Citibank Consortium and the Bank of America Consortium, which emerged after the war, rose to power by relying on the development of the military industry. They held very important positions in cutting-edge industries such as rockets, aircraft, missiles, and aerospace.

In less than ten breaths, only Monk Ci'en and the four people under the Blood Sword remained on West Desolate Mountain.

"I will dispatch people to you immediately. You were seriously injured last time; this time, there must be no more accidents." Listening to Lin Canghai's reply, Jiang Wei did not feel relieved at all.
