Volume 1, Chapter 53: A Simp Gets Nothing in the End

Nie Xingyan remained silent, but Shao Zhenzhen instantly jumped up in fury. "Watch your damn mouth, you shameless piece of trash! Didn't your mother teach you any manners?"

Past noon, it was the hottest time of the day. Even though it was still spring, the glare of the sun made people dizzy.

Both of them were holding AK assault rifles with sneers hanging at the corners of their mouths. It was clear that they had said those things on purpose outside the door earlier, and then pretended to leave while hiding around the corner to wait for someone to come out.

Of course, some Green Light Mental Arts were exceptionally rare, and some even came with special equipment traits, making them even more expensive.

As the saying goes, foes can become friends through a fight, and having fought, they were now good brothers. Wei Liao insisted on dragging Jiang Banxia and the others to a tavern for a few cups.

"I heard this guy is quite popular on his livestreams, and he has hunted down so many ominous beasts. Who knows, he might still have a lot of treasures on him... Hehe..." A mischievous smile appeared on Xie Lang's face.

Even if all the resources that the Royal Court of the Eight Desolations had just bestowed upon the Imperial Heaven Sect were handed over to him for a breakthrough, it probably still wouldn't be enough.

Hou Mubai could not help but admire Xie Lang's intellect, thinking to himself: This brother named Gill is really not ordinarily clever. Even someone as crafty and calculating as Murong Di has seen through it?

Although Xie Lang did not know the name of this timber, he dared to bet that it was bound to be a hundred times more expensive than houses built from bricks, steel bars, and mud.

Bluffing also required skill; first, one had to seize upon key terms and couple them with ambiguous statements. Such half-true, half-false words were most effective at fooling people.

"The meaning of my grievance petition is already quite clear, but this place pointed out right at the very top..." His gaze grew cold as he looked at the vague, sketchy drawing, growing more and more certain of his guess.

"Me!" Actually, what Li Xiaomai wanted to say was that the sapphire blue one suited Lu Yinyue better. In fact, even without her saying it, everyone could tell. But she didn't understand why Huang Zijie would say that. Could it be that in the eyes of men, that one really looked better?

Old Second Wang said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys hurry up and rest; I still need to go out and feed the cattle and sheep."

Directing the mirror toward the darkness, the two discovered that the thick, pitch-black fog could not block the mirror's light at all. It illuminated a path just wide enough for one person to pass through, and after sweeping the light around in a circle, Li Feng finally managed to light up a way forward.

He reckoned that once he finished peeling this half-bag of grapes, the mere sight of a grape would probably make him want to vomit. Thinking of this, Su Qian'ai laughed wildly in her heart.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Li Feng finally saw Dongfang Yun again. In reality, only three days had passed, but to Li Feng, who had been through hell, it felt quite a long time ago.

When I went out, I told Junior Brother Sha to bolt the door from the inside. Junior Brother Sha said, "Second Senior Brother, go ahead and rest assured, leave everything here to me."

Having watched Cheng Yining go to work at Changcheng Company for so many days, Su Qian'ai believed her father's words that Cheng Yining was very capable. If he truly loved her deeply, and all his tolerance toward her stemmed from that deep love, she might just comply with her father's wishes to set his mind at ease.

Actually, she couldn't say she either hated or liked Sang Cenqing, but she always felt that his appearance around her was rather abrupt, and she didn't want to have much interaction with him.

"Death Knight Hondus challenges you." Holding his dragon spear upright before him, Hondus executed a standard knight's salute toward Li Feng.

Over there, Qingyou, Xiayi, and Chen Yajing were all buzzing around Yan Huang, asking about his performance during the match and chatting about ordinary household matters, truly leaving no room for anyone else to muscle in.
