Volume 1, Chapter 24: Wang Tiezhu? An unfaithful, abusive husband?

She was forced to turn around, her eyes downcast. She saw Xie Zhixing gripping her wrist with one hand, while his other hand was raised high, descending toward her face with an irresistible force. This time, she had no room to dodge and could only raise her right hand to catch his slap.

"What does that have to do with us? Look at this." The leader of the group held up his left arm, showing the armband printed with the bold characters "Market Management" to the other party.

For some reason, the surgery took much longer than anticipated, extending by nearly half the expected duration.

Otherwise, how could they have risen so rapidly in the years since she became famous overnight after singing behind a mask?

With a sudden swoosh, the sea lion beast erupted from the ocean, lunging straight toward Wang Hu and his men.

Hearing Gu Qiqi's words, Xia Yan felt a sudden thud in his heart, as if the most precious thing he possessed had been snatched away at that very moment, never to be recovered.

Zhao Ritian had no time to soothe the emotions of those in the faction; as expected, the matter had already reached the ears of Jinghuashuiyue.

"Hey, your training load isn't even doubling, so why are you still pushing yourself so hard?" Zhang Yitiao panted as he looked at Liu Gui.

The primary concern was that Tian Mengyu might seek revenge on Gu Qiqi, and Lu Chen had no way to protect her at the moment.

Resurrecting these people required vast amounts of fresh blood, and the blood of magical beasts was useless, so they had to hunt lone individuals. In just a few days, thousands had gone missing.

Su Xinghe frowned deeply. He looked at Ji Muchen, then at Hu Zhengyang, Old Daoist Sun, and Du Jiudan. It was clear that the three of them had no objections.

Mo Qianxia sat on the hospital bed with her knees drawn up, burying her head in her arms. This seemed to be her favorite posture; she had often used it when she was beaten in the past.

Su Jin knew that Young Master Moli must have had very important matters to attend to; otherwise, given how much he doted on her, he certainly would have come to see her.

After helping Xu Yaran into the car, Nangong Yuhan personally provided the address and instructed the driver to take her home.

Just then, a dark shadow descended from the sky, blocking their path. The coachman was so frightened that he immediately pulled the reins to stop the horses.

"How did you two get in here? Where are the people outside?" Liu Zhengguang asked with annoyance, his eyes glaring to display his authority.

However, even though Ji Fa and his group were at the valley entrance, far from the giant elephant legions, they could hardly be considered safe.

"That's good." Hearing this, Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly climbed onto the broad back of the flying eagle. Once seated, he felt as stable as he would on the ground, and the eagle’s feathers were so soft and plush that it felt like sitting on a premium velvet carpet—it was incredibly comfortable.

"Father, are you suggesting that His Majesty Xinao murdered his own brother..." Xin Lie finally realized the implication, but he was cut off by Xin Lu.

"Mohan, we are taking a plane on our way back this time. What do you think?" Chu Tianyang tossed this tricky question to Lin Mohan, eager to hear his analysis.

Tiffany’s graceful and commanding demeanor left Du Youjia stunned. Was this really the same silly, adorable Tiffany who would laugh so goofily? She was so cool. Although Taeyeon had long known about Tiffany's inner character, seeing such a contrast—so capable and domineering—left her completely overwhelmed. It was impressive.

More than two hours later, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. Before long, thunder began to rumble, and then two deafening claps of thunder shook the firmament.

They all seemed to feel that there was nothing in this world that could stump Ye Feng.
