Chapter 144: Intercession!

Chen Fan turned around to wash up, while Chen Kexin stealthily slipped into the room.

There she saw Chen Chenguang sprawled on the floor.

She could not help giving herself a thumbs-up.

Sure enough, Chen Fan suffered from a foul temper when woken.

Luckily, it had been Chen Chenguang who called out. Otherwise...

“Heh heh...”

Heh heh?

...

Later, after offending another faction, he did not want to bring trouble upon the guild, so he even resigned from his position as vice president.

“Oh my! This really feels real!” Shizuka Marikawa grabbed Kristana’s proud bosom and gave it a squeeze, unable to restrain her amazement.

Shang Mengqi listened to Sun Wei with utmost seriousness, her expression thoughtful as she analyzed what he had said.

This Lauteren was known as Britain’s King of Intelligence, the champion of the British Intelligence Competition—a man of extraordinarily high intelligence. He was also the specially invited guest at this competition for the Chosen of Heaven, and ultimately emerged victorious, defeating contestants from China, South Korea, and the United States.

The mysterious merchant had reduced the price by ten percent. A Guild Founding Certificate like this now cost only five hundred gold coins.

The mission had no fixed deadline, but for Lin Chen, the sooner it was completed, the better. The curse hung over his head like a guillotine, making him deeply uncomfortable. It might even affect his ability to accept other missions normally.

The instant he opened his eyes, everyone felt a surge of panic. His gaze was filled with domineering authority, like a sharp sword piercing straight into the hearts of everyone present.

Having landed his first blow, the masked man in black repeated the same maneuver. In an instant, he was locked in combat with several agile zombies, and he had clearly gained the upper hand. Beneath his ghostlike movements, the agile zombies—famed for their speed and nimbleness—no longer possessed any advantage in speed.

The Tathagata’s Wisdom Eyes instantly surveyed the Three Realms, making the origin of the celestial phenomena perfectly clear. Maitreya pressed his palms together, bowed, and withdrew from the great hall.

In his desperation, Xie Shengxiong seized my body in his arms. I felt my body grow suddenly weightless, and by the time I came to my senses, I was already beside Li Ruoqing. Seeing that Xie Shengxiong had rescued me, Liu Kaizhen let out a sinister cackle. My severed arm remained curled in his grasp as he retreated rapidly, evading the attack of the Level-Six Bone-Armored Zombie.

A top that perfectly revealed the curves of her body. Full, rounded cuffs. Bands of light that enveloped it all. Then came a magnificent skirt formed from layers upon layers of luminous frills. Once everything had fully appeared, the crescent-shaped hair ornament adorning Miku’s hair burst into dazzling radiance.

“Very good.” Qingwu nodded in satisfaction, only for her vision to go black as she collapsed backward. She was simply too exhausted.

Not until the videotape was placed into the player did everyone hold their breath and turn their eyes toward the television screen. It seemed as though a summer evening had descended ahead of schedule, and the surroundings gradually grew dim.

By then, Luo Chenyin had already returned to his former state—majestic and solemn, inspiring such awe that no one dared approach him. Xiao Tie could only answer passively.

Yet whenever he wanted to tell her about it, he would be overcome by a sense of cowardice. Cowardice... Even when he had encountered gunfire on the frontier, he had never been afraid. But when faced with the reaction she might have, he truly did feel afraid.
