Volume One, Chapter 21: Lie Down, Let Me Massage You

"You address Long Sheng as 'Brother Long'? Have you two known each other for a long time?" Harris asked with suspicion.

At night, Bai Chi brought Bai Zhixuan to the woods south of the city. The woods were vast, devoid of human voices at night, filled only with the sound of the wind and the wails of ghosts.

The gunpowder stone exploded directly in the hands of the Dwarf Chieftain, shattering both of his hands instantly.

Listening to those sounds, my scalp crawled. How many snake tunnels must have been carved out beneath this surface? Was there a latent risk of collapse under every inch of ground I stepped on?

After a while, he asked me about the backup video. I told him not to be impatient, as I would hand the video over to the police.

With Long Sheng’s experience, he naturally realized that a sniper was lurking in the dark, waiting for a chance to target him. However, he knew the sniper could not easily get a clear shot, as Cui Shenshi and Professor Jin were acting as human shields.

"I... I... I..." I stammered, unable to speak. At that moment, I truly wished I possessed profound Taoist arts; if I could just toss out a talisman, I would be freed from this awkward situation.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Long embraced Mei Lu and said, "Fly toward the sky!" With that, he used his Wings of Light to ascend into the heavens.

"These noises woke me up early; has someone been killed again?" Long Sheng asked, lying on the bed with sleepy eyes.

At the critical moment, the veterans of the First Squadron took the lead, temporarily assuming the heavy responsibility of command and coordination.

"Shen Nong, isn't your art of deduction extremely brilliant? Why don't you try to deduce it and see what is going on," Li Sheng added.

He felt that Su Lin was simply too greedy. When others received gifts from their masters, they were filled with gratitude, wishing they could give their lives for them, yet Su Lin acted differently.

If it were anyone else, they would have tried to clarify Dongfang Yunqi’s identity or thrown out a few harsh words to regain some face before fleeing. But he showed no hesitation; he ran the moment he could, slipping away faster than a rabbit.

"You don't know, this is actually just the outskirts of the Rootless Sea, which is why it is so calm. Once you enter the interior, the power of the Ice Blade Storm will exceed your imagination."

Meanwhile, Elder Mu beside him dared not be negligent. With shock in his eyes, he threw the half-length, thumb-sized twig in his hand, which once again transformed into a towering tree, though this one was far dimmer than the previous one.

As he withdrew his hand, Ling Chuxi felt the pressure lift. She twisted her body and stood firmly on the ground. Before she could react to what was happening, she saw Li Xietian suddenly raise his head and move, appearing right before her.

Although everyone knew that those attending this auction were no ordinary people and that the Basalt Stone would be hard to obtain, it would be a great regret to let it fall into someone else's hands without even trying. Thus, the people in the hall began to place their bids one after another.

Xing Yu looked at the Heaven-Ascending Staircase before him in disbelief. It was merely ninety-nine stone steps; why was it that no one could reach the top?

Seeing the Black Bear Spirit nod, the Giant Spirit God was finally satisfied. He withdrew his Xuanhua Axe and returned to his formation.

"It has been many years since I last wrote anything, hasn't it?" Xiao Han responded casually. "Besides, I only held membership in the Writers Association many years ago, and I have never participated in any of the association's activities since, nor have they ever summoned me. Why did they suddenly think of me now?"

The world and the three realms were in turmoil; the sun, moon, and stars appeared simultaneously, and mist, rain, thunder, and lightning manifested all at once. Even the mountains and rivers seemed to lift their heads to gaze upon it! Whether they were gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, humans, beasts, or mere insects, all could not help but bow down in worship before this chisel.

As the Ancestor of Demons, Luo, flicked his sleeve, the handle of the Heaven-Opening Chisel stood upright on the ground, with the chisel head pointing straight toward the sky.

Li Song, however, paid no more mind to Zhunti. He bowed toward the void from afar, though it was unclear to whom he was bowing.

Those who mastered the power of time and those who mastered the power of space were both at the peak of the Heaven-Swallowing level. The difference was that Master Yuding had clearly mastered the power of time for much longer and with much greater skill than Zhuang Wangu had mastered the power of space.

While speaking, the two returned to Pingchuan. Upon encountering a beast-riding Demon clan member within the territory, Xi Sa gave instructions for her to pass on an order. At the end, reminded by the Western Concubine, he found himself in a difficult position; this demon was merely a member of the cavalry, and he should have given her some military tokens or credentials, but as of yet, no one had been able to help him create such things.

Wudi looked at Apophis's right hand with some surprise, where a dark ring sat—something easily overlooked if one didn't pay special attention, because... Apophis’s skin was also very dark.

Flames appeared with a "poof." First ice, then fire; finally, the last remnant of the Great Wizard and Fire God Zhurong's body was gradually consumed by the flames, ceasing to exist.

Arahan looked at the soldiers below with satisfaction. He was quite confident in the prestige he held among the coalition soldiers, but when his perception swept over the dozen or so phalanxes of Ojin warriors, he could not help but frown slightly.

In 2005, the four major state-owned banks' attitude toward online banking was truly lackluster, and many couldn't even manage proper compatibility for their security tokens; it was all quite stagnant. Gu Cheng could not base his decision solely on strength just to secure a massive state-owned bank as his backer.

"It’s all thanks to Brother Xuanyuan’s help..." After saying this, Xin'er’s face turned slightly red.

"Is there something the Admiral needs? You actually had to notify us through the system," Helena asked Li Huamu after sitting down without ceremony.

Once these deep-sea warplanes flew out, they immediately accelerated along the water's surface to the speed of sound, instantly launching an assault on the two battleship girls.

Out of over 33,000 gold coins, successfully recovering 8,000 or 9,000 would be considered decent. Moreover, this recovery process would take quite some time. After all, with a massive amount of bronze-grade cooking already on the market, why would players choose to buy the cooking from Tiankui Star·Hubao Yi?

"Anesthesia?" This time it was Wei Qiong’s turn to be shocked. How did she know she had anesthesia? What was she trying to do?

In truth, how could police officers who dealt with villains and thugs all day be so cowardly? Especially the hot-blooded young ones; the brave among them were confident they could rise up and subdue Xiao Jing. So, even though they followed the main group out, their hearts were already itching for action.

"Then it's settled. I'll go arrange the contact." Liu Hui didn't waste any words and began making calls efficiently.

...Although it felt a bit off, the undead here had maintained the city's hygiene to an unbelievable degree.

"Yes, last night was just spent playing around in a hotel room, and I’m still exhausted now." Zhong Sixin felt her anger flare up after being called a "fox spirit" repeatedly, and she couldn't help but shout loudly.
