Volume One, Chapter 24: Journeying Across a Thousand Miles (Part Two)

“Yes, you’re in this to make money, but am I, Charline, with you just for your money? If I were after money, why would I have eloped with you to this place?” Had he ever considered why she didn’t stay in City A?

Upon hearing this, everyone present fixed their gaze on Wang Dong, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Su Changtian, the bearer of the divine weapon, was perhaps no ordinary man—he could very well be a rare genius among millions.

The Yu family’s car pulled into the parking lot of the All Seasons Hotel. The three of them stepped out, with Yu Wen leading the way.

“Cousin, why are you still hitting me? I asked you to help me teach them a lesson, not do this!” Zhang Wei pouted, utterly confused about what had just happened.

At this moment, Chu Xin merely narrowed his eyes slightly; he had already awakened when the call came through earlier.

Meanwhile, the parasitic insect within Liang Haijiang’s body was reaching its final stage. Though Liang Haijiang was not yet dead, his body convulsed uncontrollably, and his consciousness grew faint—death was imminent.

Just as Su Changtian was enduring torment in his spiritual sea, a palm struck his chest with a roaring force that echoed the chaotic energy within him. Su Changtian was hurled violently backward. Despite Jing Lei’s brutal martial restraint, he only managed to stop at the edge of the arena.

Inside, a table was already occupied. Yu Sheng and the others paid no heed and took seats at a table outside.

“Send for the imperial physician to bring the Side Princess back to the palace to recuperate. As for Qing’er, give her the settlement and release her from the mansion,” Bei Zhiyao ordered.

It was like worshipping a deity—though the devotees were sincere, bowing and kowtowing, if the very god they revered suddenly came to life... the worshippers would surely be terrified.

Originally, Yue Tanxi had no intention of hiding this from Long Mengmeng. Hearing her words, Yue Tanxi felt a warmth in her heart.

The “meridian connection” involved linking the 365 acupoints, gathering springs into rivers, forming a grand map of the body's meridians, thus opening a path to immortality.

The first event was on November 24th. The warriors who had just emerged victorious returned with honors. A month later was the Christmas exhibition match—if they were defeated again, their hard-earned reputation would plummet once more.

At the Xingyue Hotel, Ye Qiu held a black card, but the level of embarrassment seemed insufficient, and the fluctuations were mild.

Zhuang Xiaolin was the first to charge forward, and everyone followed him, rushing down the slope.

“Tsk, Miss Shen, you should rest properly. The desert is so vast; to find Mo Bai, you must conserve your strength,” Mu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. The scorching sun made the desert unbearable; even the shadows of sand dunes could not block the rising heat.

The village chief’s words surprised Xiao Chu. He didn’t expect anyone to already realize the economic value and development potential of that lake—and that from the most incompetent village chief in the history of the Xiao family pier.

Though most official media reviews would only appear on Sunday, heated discussions had already erupted on Yahoo forums and MSN portals.

Although Yue Tanxi said so, she still felt something was missing. This kind of return was fine, but it left Yoyo with grounds to criticize. The key was the lack of a catalyst for her comeback. Yet such an opportunity was beyond her control.

“Be quiet, don’t shout. It’s too late; the neighbors might hear,” Lin Wanbai signaled for silence.

Of course, to Yu Hong, anything that could be solved with money outside was hardly a problem.

At this moment, Jiang Hua emerged from the well, but no one noticed him except Long Yingying.

“Not for all the world!” Being scared like this was already embarrassing enough; she simply couldn’t bring herself to act coy with Shen Tianyu.

However, Landon refused and proposed something that to her seemed as fantastical as a fairy tale—that was the true cause of her fury.

The Howling Sky Dog’s strength was roughly equal to Tang Ning’s. Considering practical combat skills, Tang Ning could easily take on two dogs at once.

Song Chuying gave a reserved smile, her makeup elegant and alluring. Her jade-like hands rested on her slender waist, her posture graceful and sensual.

The students were angry to see some older applicants; they thought to themselves, “You’re competing with us students for these positions—aren’t you ashamed?”

But Lin Wanbai had already chosen a remote street, where houses were sparse, let alone shops.

This was an infamous dark and malevolent organization, ranked alongside the Dragon Worship Sect, the All-Things Unified Society, and the Silver Sky Serpent—known as the continent’s foremost sinister group.

This segment was a surprise suggestion by the host; the script provided by the show’s writer had no mention of it.

The paraglider’s feature was directional control—by pulling the steering handles, one could change the descent path.

When Wang Feng learned this, he was not overly pleased, for it meant he still didn’t know when he would be able to return to accompany his master.

At the very last moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Yu Dao before him, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

When Ye Shi arrived to assist, he effortlessly dispelled the Asura’s fog of war, burning it away along with the ghost clone. The so-called immortal ghost clone could not escape the fate of being consumed by the red lotus karma fire.
