Chapter 172 Today, Either You Die or I Do

Having finished speaking, Mo Qinghan tried to move her hands and feet. Just as she was calculating something in her mind, the sound of men's footsteps approaching her echoed from the floor. Suddenly, a man's voice rang out right above her head: "Oh, already awake. It's much more interesting to do that stuff when they're awake."

Instantly, the harsh and grating laughter of men pierced the ears of both Mo Qinghan and Yan Jinxi.

After the man finished speaking, he crouched down, reached out, and removed the black cloth bags that had been slipped over Mo Qinghan and Yan Jinxi. Having been covered by the dark bags for so long, upon first encountering the light, both Mo Qinghan and Yan Jinxi kept their eyes tightly shut for a good while before slowly opening them. Yan Jinxi, who had lived for over twenty years, had always been cherished and pampered like a precious treasure; this was her very first time encountering such a harrowing ordeal. Overwhelmed by terror in her heart, she lowered her head slightly and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Hehe, who else could it be? It's that Princess Yue's older brother, a disciple under Master Du's sect. I heard he's only at the Golden Core realm," a helpful disciple explained.

The Punishment Heavenly Gate, which was busy promoting solidarity in Qianzi City, had no reason to offend a well-connected and influential veteran of the pugilistic world in Qianzi City, and thus returned the corpses that could only serve as intimidation.

If one offers a mild and proper refusal before accepting, it will make him hold you in even higher regard. One can also use this opportunity to observe whether his gift-giving is sincere or merely a polite formality.

Because the name of the Reese Guild in Jusi City was already taken, Xinhua could not establish her own Reese Guild there. Consequently, all of them had to stay at the Phoenix Restaurant. Fortunately, during guild wars, the system would summon players from across the entire Eastern Continent; otherwise, the Phoenix Restaurant would never have been able to accommodate all of them.

Before Zhou Xi had time to react, a scent that blended sweetness with a sandalwood-like musk already filled his nostrils.

Ever since then, because she was framed as the third party and hunted down in the game, Xiluo had never found the time to go to the Azure Dragon Island to capture rare beasts.

Players from the Eastern Continent could spend 10 gold coins to take a boat to the Western Continent, but let us not forget that once they arrived, they had to arrange for their own food and lodging. Prices on the Western Continent were even higher than those on the Eastern Continent, so staying indefinitely at taverns would certainly incur massive expenses.

One of the black handbags possessed a slightly trapezoidal silhouette, a dual-buckle design, and a short, semi-circular handle. Crafted from high-grade crocodile leather, it was perfectly suited for the mature and intellectual Gu Qingcheng.

Zhaodi pondered in her heart that she should eat a little less, then hide the remaining mung bean cake, so that if she felt hungry again later, she could eat just a tiny bit to stave off her hunger.

"Humph!" Elder Xu flew into a rage. As a dignified cultivator at the Mahayana realm, he was also an elder with real power in a major sect, holding a lofty position and profound cultivation.

"Please rest assured, Governor Zhang. The task entrusted to me by Governor Zhang is the goal I must accomplish, and I will definitely observe the situation in Luzhuang City thoroughly," Zhang Hui said.

Though Eve was not particularly heavy, her wrist strength for swordplay was even worse, and she slowly began to slide down from his grasp.

The two of them closed their eyes, panting for a long while before lying back down. Their two naked bodies, intertwined like an octopus, embraced each other tightly, fully indulging in the lingering warmth after the climax.

In reality, this was based on the exact same logic that allowed the veteran Eighth Route Army soldiers to shoot with such precision: with only a limited number of bullets, if you failed to take down the enemy, you would be killed by them instead—it was a skill forced out of desperate necessity.

"You don't need to say anymore! I, Im Yoon-ah, will only acknowledge one man in my entire life, and that is you!" Yoon-ah stopped sobbing, her eyes flashing with a resolute light, and her tone was exceedingly earnest.

Ye Qingxiang took a puff of his cigarette and said indifferently, "No need, just tell me over the phone and I'll listen." As Zhai Lianjun continuously reported on the latest developments of the operation from the other end, a faint smile surfaced on Ye Qingquan's face.

However, as long as there was even a sliver of a chance to keep Tifa alive, Lilith would not have furrowed her brow even if it meant sacrificing her life.

Thinking of this, the resentment in the hearts of the three Zhong family father and sons toward Ling Feng dissipated somewhat, and the angry expressions on their faces softened. Yet at this very moment, a man's voice filled with grief and indignation drifted in from outside the hall.

Moreover, what was even more important was that Kong Xuan's action carried extraordinary significance; this was the first time anyone in the Primordial Great Land had truly dared to openly challenge the supreme authority of a sage.
