Volume 1, Chapter 60: The Original Six

Although Su Qing covered Boss Liu's mouth, Master Jie and I still heard a scream like a slaughtered pig...

It wasn't until Su Qing let go with a curse and, as if remembering something, searched Boss Liu's body and fished out his mobile phone.

She took out the items from the travel bag, slipped a business card of our assisting company inside, and then used Boss Liu's phone to take a picture. She sent it as a multimedia message to a group of contacts, and the message contained only a single sentence: "Luo the Tiger's business is settled, this company is truly top-notch!"

After sending the message, Su Qing tossed the phone right onto the face of Boss Liu, who was still busy "pulling his own radish."

"Boss Liu, if anyone asks you, you can..."

Over the past few months, not only had they offered high prices to local hunters for the rare skeletal remains of strange demonic beasts, but they had also dispatched large numbers of disciples deep into the sea of forests to hunt for them.

I suddenly felt a rush of gas bloating my stomach like a drum, and instantly, my mouth flew open as a gush of air surged outward, spewing out the jade-green ghost fire all at once.

Before seven o'clock, Bai He and Wang Xiaoya left the hotel and returned to the detached villa in Crescent Bay.

This was Li Mujian's first time coming to Chang'an City. Unsure of the true strength and background of her pursuers, she had wandered aimlessly until she inexplicably ended up at Guangren Temple. Noticing that it was located in the northwest corner with tall structures that favored both concealment and observation, she vaulted over the wall and climbed onto the roof, leading to the scene just moments before.

Oh my goodness, that person in white kneeling at the front suddenly leaped to his feet, stretched out a pair of withered, skinny hands, and lunged to beat out the flames burning on the corpse. Yet the moment he brushed against the fire, crimson flames seemingly endowed with eyes crept up his arms and ignited all over his body.

Li Yu looked at Koko with a head full of black lines; true to her nature as a weapon dealer, she never failed to bring every conversation back to profit and principal.

"General Zhu, what is the current situation?" Sun Jian had just been sent to the southwest corner to coordinate with Qin Jie from both inside and out, so he was not yet fully clear on the general situation within Wancheng.

However, upon snapping out of his shock, Count Wells let out a series of loud shouts, practically hopping up and down to express his dissatisfaction.

Chen Ji shook down his head; the physical laws of the Earth universe simply did not work in the Divine Grace Continent, so how was he supposed to teach Astana?

Perhaps driven by a sense of shame, or perhaps because the psychological shadow left by that night was simply too profound, Sisa ultimately still lacked the courage to confess.

The surrounding areas of these four fighting rings were bustling with noise and excitement, making the other four matches appear somewhat desolate by comparison.

At the corner position, the roaring pain within Yun Mo's meridians subsided quite a bit. She raised her head slightly, staring in a daze at the starlight dotting the horizon, her curled eyelashes casting shadows on her face that added a touch of gentleness.

Zhang Wangxi's eyes lit up the moment he laid eyes on these items. Although their attribute descriptions did not explicitly state their uses, judging by the Phantom Feather Sword, these items could undoubtedly be forged into quasi-magic treasures—not to mention that the extremely pure spiritual energy they contained clearly proved these materials were the most refined essence from a Jindan demonic beast.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, partners, let's move out." With a brisk clap of her hands after rattling off her words, Lu Manqing decisively adjourned the meeting. She certainly hadn't forgotten about the commission amount for Ren Xiangyang's endorsement; she still needed to negotiate with Gu Yan, and even for two million, she wasn't about to let anyone shortchange her of her fair earnings.

Lu Manqing spent that night in sheer agony, so much so that early the next morning, her complexion could hardly be called pleasant. No matter what she tried, she couldn't cover up her dark circles, which naturally drew the concern of both Ren Xiangyang and Ji Mo.

Hearing this, Hu Boran nodded heavily and once again gazed at Linghu Yusheng with expectant eyes.

At that moment, inside a private room at the Liuxiang Pavilion, the matchmaker clad in transparent sheer gauze sat gracefully on a stool, her soft hands delicately plucking the strings of the zither before her, casting flirtatious and captivating glances at the man seated in the seat of honor.

Since the wound was in a private spot against his body, Zhao Guolan and Lu Lin did not stay inside the tent. Instead, they went out together to find Lin越 to begin dealing with the subsequent matters.

"I'm telling you, Sis, I'll definitely be good today..." Ling Jingtian's voice drifted in from outside, coaxing a chuckle out of everyone in the room and completely dissolving the previously tense atmosphere.

Upon hearing Jin Yan's words, Jin Yu seemed to remember something; he abruptly reined in the smile at the corner of his lips and resumed his usual cold, somber expression.

Clearly, Li Fugui could have led his unit straight through to slaughter them all completely, yet at the very last moment, Li Fugui had held back.

In a completely silent space, surrounded by bizarre and bloody remains, the sudden eruption of a loud noise was enough to scare one's wits away.

Yet he never expected that he and Watson could cause such a massive shock to the head of security in that downtown district within just a few short minutes, directly prompting the deployment of demons—four of them all at once, no less.

At the same time, he had jotted down numerous semi-finished technical documents, instructing him to find trustworthy people to study them; as long as they weren't too foolish, they should be able to figure them out.

"Spies?" Zhang Duo's expression turned stern. With a wave of his hand, the men beside him immediately took the three individuals under control.

Just as they were merrily enjoying their meal, a sharp commotion suddenly erupted from behind, growing closer and closer.

Madam Lu was fond of Chinese roses, which blossomed in various vibrant and eye-catching colors: white as snow, yellow as gold, pink as sunset clouds, and red as fire. Even before drawing close, one could catch whiffs of subtle fragrance that refreshed the mind and uplifted the spirit.

However, he had yet to star in any action films, so Director Chen remained somewhat curious about him—curious as to whether he knew any martial arts.

He wore an orange T-shirt printed with letter graphics, and though his hands were shackled, it did not prevent him from clasping his palms together in front of him.

Moreover, due to being deep inland, the might of this Sea-Calming Pearl was nowhere near as formidable as it would be out on the ocean.

Enduring the pressure radiating from the copper mechanical lifeform, compounded by the fact that they were deep within an underground ruin.

"Lieru, you're finally back!" Upon seeing Lieru, Lin An was the first to run over.

"The time they lost contact shouldn't be long. Has Section Chief You sent anyone to investigate?" Bao Ya asked thoughtfully.

The emcee's shouting immediately drew the attention of the other newlyweds, causing people around us to whisper and point at the two of us.

In fact, there was another reason unknown to Xue Ming: the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Bianjing City's courtesan pageant had already entered its heated preliminary stages ahead of schedule.

The members of the Chen family, watching the rapidly retreating figure of Chen Xuanyin, vaguely understood everything.

The craze for loli zombies had already passed; nowadays, the zombie cave had regained its usual flow of visitors—neither desolate nor overcrowded.

Xier cried for nearly ten minutes before gradually calming down, though she still occasionally sobbed.

"No matter, with so many people heading out to complete the mission together, we can just blend into the crowd. Besides, the reward upon completion is quite generous, and even if we fail, there won't be any harsh punishment!" the second senior brother said indifferently.

The fake identity he had prepared for himself in Country Y was named Du Yan. The fact that He Jin could utter this name meant that all the retreat routes he had left behind in Country Y had been thoroughly uncovered by the other party.

"Hmph, so it turns out you're just two snake demons!" Fahai roared instantly, his entire body glowing with a dazzling golden light.
