Chapter 21: You Have Completely Humiliated Us

Looking at Qin Wanyi’s flushed, angry cheeks, Pei Yunian could not resist reaching out to pinch them; the lingering sensation of her smooth skin remained on his fingertips.

His gaze was gentle, yet the madness of the previous night still echoed in his mind, causing his Adam’s apple to bob involuntarily.

His breath grew increasingly restless.

The temperature of the fingertips resting on her cheeks began to rise. Qin Wanyi’s body stiffened slightly, and she instinctively swatted his hand away.

Once the occupant of the room successfully manifested an object into form, this power of heaven and earth would be fed back to the Heavenly Dao, and a divine treasure would be birthed in response. However, with the Heavenly Dao currently in slumber and the laws of reality on the verge of collapse, coupled with the fact that Yi Jiang was not a newly born entity, it was unlikely that any such blessings would descend upon the world.

Since Zuiye had relented and he had no desire to continue the struggle against him, the key was to get things done and see Hanxiao.

"Only someone who has never encountered something they truly love and has never hit a wall can say such things as a matter of course. Still, there will always be things you cannot obtain; God is always fair," the coach said, patting Qiao Minghao on the shoulder.

He finally understood how those concubines who had once caught the eye of Emperor Puxuan had been bitten to death by snakes.

A golden light flashed over Fashan; he naturally could not sit idly by while his most respected senior was being insulted.

"Are you obsessed with excretory functions? Actually, changing the location might be just as effective," Hua Lu said, looking up at Qi Yi with wide, earnest eyes, offering a sincere suggestion.

When the meeting adjourned, someone approached Li Ransheng to talk about the Right Emissary, expressing a desire for a private "chat," but was politely declined by Li Ransheng.

The stadium was in an uproar. Changhong fans waved their jerseys one after another, feeling even happier than if they had won first place.

"I disagree. Release the people and the finances, and that will be the end of it. We cannot resort to lethal measures against him," Peng Yuan remained firmly opposed.

Seemingly aware of why she had found herself in this situation, Jenny looked back at Qi Yi before leaving. However, she only saw Qi Yi’s back; she could not even discern her expression.

Although Zhao Ji was unwilling to let the matter go without an answer, Qin Qing had promised an appointment for the next day, so she had no choice but to nod and let them go.

Qin Qing was lost in thought. She let Mo Xingyun chatter away beside her, but she did not hear a single word. She returned to the inn in silence, shut herself in her room, and remained there.

With Xing Shaobin helping Xiao Ke manipulate the betting odds, the sudden turn of events left them speechless. Those who had been cheering for Xiao Ke also began to feel a sense of doubt and worry; clearly, they did not believe Xiao Ke could defeat Mota.

After the car started, Hu Sijiu was still squatting on the ground laughing. I ignored him and pressed down on the accelerator, driving slowly toward my shop. It was past two or three in the afternoon, and because of the heat, there were few pedestrians or vehicles on the road, which gave me that one percent of confidence I needed.

Although his figure had lost its shape and his physical condition was not what it used to be, he had ignored the advice of others during the recent battle, charging fearlessly at the forefront and killing dozens of men. His remarkable performance had won him the respect of many soldiers.

One must know that the reason the Yin-Shang dynasty was able to subdue the feudal lords of all directions was not through benevolence and righteousness, but through their unrivaled reserve of warrior generals. Whenever a famous general appeared in the territories of the lords, the Emperor of Yin-Shang would invariably reward them handsomely, offering promotions and titles without hesitation—this was the legendary art of poaching talent.

Then, on that very day, a new way of eating appeared in every place throughout Sakuya where a Heavenly Pavilion of the Ruoxiya family existed: hot pot.

Precisely because of this, Robbie could not, for the life of him, imagine that Tie Ma would actually take the initiative to push his own comrade to his death just to gain the upper hand!

The moment the sound of gunfire erupted from Xiao Ke’s side, Dong Zhe realized that the battle had begun, so he launched his offensive against Ning Chang without a moment's hesitation.
