Chapter 37: Collusion

"You found her but didn't tell me immediately, choosing instead to hide her away and subject her to a flogging."

Li Honghui tapped the table, a glint of sinister malice in his eyes. "Changwei, you have a lot of nerve!"

"Stop putting on your prince's airs. Look at how much blood you've coughed up; we're all going to die anyway, so what do I have to fear?" Changwei let out a raucous laugh. "I'm satisfied, at least. Even if I didn't get to sleep with the wench, I still got to lash her, hahahaha!"

"I thought I saw a friend, but I couldn't find anyone." Jiang Chengfeng swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Returning to his room, he took the six hundred from last night, set aside twenty, and hid the remaining five hundred and eighty in ten different locations.

Not to mention your defection to "Venus," you actually had the gall to lead Luke right to our doorstep to camp our spawn point.

Lu Jingxing turned back, casting a glance at Fan Xinian, who lingered outside the window with a look of mournful self-pity. He hooked his arm around Su Ran's neck and kissed her deeply.

"The two of you clearly aren't ordinary people. May I ask what brings you to this desolate wilderness?" Seeing Ou Canghua’s unaffected manner, Lu Tiancheng felt a spark of goodwill, and his tone softened considerably.

Watching Luke struggle to suppress his laughter, she realized that everything he had said earlier was just to tease her.

If he had ten thousand elite cavalry, he would have ridden straight through Yecheng; he would never have tolerated Yuan Shao holding the Emperor hostage.

This was what you called dominance—like the roar of a dragon from the heavens, shaking all directions, causing the world to tremble and kneel in submission.

Sun Tianzheng immediately unleashed his ultimate move, "Heaven-Rending Hook," hoping to pry open the hands of the demonic dragon that were strangling him.

Luo Qi shook her head honestly. Judging by the name, she had no idea what this "Neuromancer" was supposed to be.

Just then, the motionless Fu Can suddenly extended his right hand, pointing his index and middle fingers to form a sword seal, as if tracing something in the air.

As Li Ziyuan’s voice faded, He Sanliang, realizing that Li Ziyuan had private matters to discuss with Ma Yongcheng, not only turned to leave at once but also dragged away Yang Jing—who was still lingering, terrified that Li Ziyuan might give Ma Yongcheng another beating—and Tang Qiao, who was standing beside her.

El was startled, but just as he moved to intervene, he noticed that Matthew seemed to have his own way of dealing with the situation.

Karete stared at Noah, her expression resolute. A moment later, Noah finally turned his body away, silently signaling that she could leave.

Wukong watched, suddenly feeling an inexplicable concern for the old turtle: What if this poor, blind turtle crashed into a wooden boat?

"That Golden Mountain is the sage you are looking for!" the man in black said, staring into Hou Yi's eyes.

However, El sensed, albeit vaguely, that Qianzi hadn't actually seen the flashes of images that had passed through his mind.

Suddenly, a beam of white light ignited along the central axis of the rocket. The dead infant’s throat bobbed, his brows furrowed, eyes glued to the screen.

"Sigh, you ignore the path to heaven and choose to walk into the gates of hell. For three thousand years, no one who has entered my Cave of Time has ever left with their head attached to their shoulders. So, you might as well accept your fate!" As the chilling voice rang out again, the giant boulder in the middle of the clearing began to wobble and come to life.

Dr. Kate thought to herself, her gaze darting once more to the scar on Karete’s neck, her expression filled with pity.

After seeing Ouyang Yuanshui off, Xi Fuwei returned to the main hall. As expected, Shen Qielan was already there, and the cold tea had already been replaced.

Yet, there was nothing here but the flowing water, let alone Gu Ying and Ding Dou. Where had those two gone?

Seeing her uncle Wen Li and second cousin Wen Lei just bowing their heads to eat, refusing to even look up, Yue Chu understood that this certainly wasn't the first time the Fan woman had cursed Wen Shang in front of them.

By the time Wang Xudong drove to the funeral home, Su Wanqi was still sitting in the car, staring blankly out the window. No one knew what she was thinking—perhaps she was thinking of nothing at all.
