Chapter 108: Two Great Directors Vie for the Script

“Get down on your knees and kowtow to me, and I’ll consider letting her go!” Tong Lele laughed triumphantly, pulling Mi Bai up from the ground as she looked proudly at Rong Xiaoyu.

But none of this was what Ye Hua wanted to hear. Although anxious, he didn’t rush her because he knew Xiao Rulan wasn’t one to babble. Her words surely needed a prelude, whether for herself or for those listening.

“What?” Xue Jingwu and Xue Jingshan stepped forward excitedly, grabbing Mi Bai. They feared that once Mi Bai went inside, she might learn things unknown to them, which would hinder their future efforts to reclaim their mother’s inheritance.

Crack! Crack! Everyone around, including myself, froze in place! The expression on the King Falcon’s face instantly turned ashen. To think that the underground boxing champion, admired by countless people, was being spoken of as if he were worthless—it was remarkable that he hadn’t lost his temper already.

“What was Wei Mingjing and that Japanese man’s reaction?” Ye Wudao ignored Linghu Wanyue and asked Chen Fenghuo directly.

“What’s broken?!” Rong Xiaoyu asked anxiously when Mi Bai mentioned a broken fingernail, his tone full of obvious concern.

Indeed, when these pieces of evidence were put together, such a possibility existed. He still lacked some proof, which would require researching historical documents unavailable in the village.

In a brief moment, Chen Shaoming’s soul entered Zhang Chukun’s body. However, his ability only worked if the other party consented fully. Naturally, Zhang Chukun would never surrender his body to Chen Shaoming, so Chen Shaoming suffered a backlash from his own power.

“It’s because Imperial Physician Huang was worried about Her Highness’s health and came over to give a diagnosis,” Li Longfei hastily offered a flimsy excuse, trying to cover up the truth.

“Well, then… very well.” The emperor saw Consort Mei’s firm stance and reluctantly ordered attendants to help her back to the sleeping chambers at Huaqing Pool to rest.

Song Yawen once again brought water to Lu Jingzhou and even invited him to her room that evening. What exactly was Song Yawen’s intention?

Lin Hao looked at Xu Wan, puzzled as to why she had helped him twice, but still nodded politely.

Although just now she had tried desperately to appear innocent and uninvolved, her guilty conscience was evident. Suddenly thrown into prison and passing by the interrogation room with its cruel instruments and shackles hanging on the walls, Lady Tian’s fear was palpable.

“Yes.” Riding the momentum, Lin Zongming explained roughly the investigation into An Zhengxuan’s wife from fifty years ago.

But now, he seemed unsure of what to do next. Calling out to Duoduo several times yielded no response, and he lacked a clear direction for his next step.

“Manyu, until I find a job, may I keep watching TV at your place?” Ji Xuemei asked.

Seeing this, Qiu Mo could only calm herself and quietly listen to their conversation, her mind preoccupied with planning to meet Wen Weixing later.

“Since there’s plenty of money, if we succeed in defending the city, could you please send the official Martial Alliance skills to me as well?” Wu Qiongfei asked Aoshi Jianghu, leaning in closely.

The arrival of Long Jing and others eased Fan Wei’s tension. The added status skills and the immense health regeneration ability finally allowed Fan Wei to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, flush with funds, he planned to commission a ship from Baoshu Adam in the City of Seven Waters, to serve as the main vessel for the Demon Pirate Group.

Xia Tiantian: “…” Okay, now she finally understood why Miao Xurong and Jin Yunxi had coincidentally appeared here—to dump the old man’s heart attack troubles on her.

Just finished showering, Zhou Ran stepped out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, towel in hand, drying her hair. As she reached for the bedside table to get the hairdryer, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Surprise, shock, indifference, and infatuation—various gazes converged into a complex beam directed at those inside the elevator.

A hissing sound erupted as the round, ball-like abdomen sprayed an endless web of spider silk, ensnaring the Demon Pirate Group members. Despite their desperate struggles, they could not break free.

If there truly was a fire pit, it meant the tomb ahead was inaccessible; anyone who entered would suffer. Grave robbers feared fire pits above all—the wooden coffins were divided by water and fire, both extremely sinister.

She had lost a lot of blood. Though her spirit seemed strong now, her pale face betrayed her condition.

It was the first time he had heard about the subtle and peculiar relationship between the Shu and Si families from his father.

Unfortunately, just as he flew halfway into the air, Feng Lingjue swished his sleeve, unleashing a powerful force that knocked him back hard. He crashed onto the throne with a thud, writhing in pain and unable to rise for a long while.

Jiang Tianyan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yun Tiange’s pale face, seemingly truly frightened by him, he shook his head slightly before suddenly bursting into laughter.

Totori, of course, didn’t go to the bathroom. She smoothly made her way into the emergency passage. Like those in Earth’s shopping malls, it had only ordinary stairs, but Charlotte and the others were nowhere to be seen. Had they gone upstairs or downstairs?

Shi Yang was taken aback. He never expected Ren Qiang to act this way, nor that Pan Ling would just flip the table and leave.

What surprised them greatly was that the demon cultivators, upon seeing this, flashed a trace of glee on their faces. They no longer paid attention to the immortal cultivators’ movements, withdrew their hands from the magic-light barriers, and immediately turned away from the platform, flying back to where the demon cultivators gathered.

“It wasn’t me. There are plenty of people dealing arms in Baghdad; I’ve never seen any Chinese,” Mohad was startled but then stubbornly denied it.

The piece composed by Chen Mingtong was played by them, and after the prelude, Tokisaki Kurumi began to sing.

After a long silence, the volcano finally erupted. Youse abruptly stood up, his roar echoing through the great hall, deafening many clan members, causing their faces to go pale and cold sweat to bead on their foreheads.

Alas! Xiong Qi was stunned. Could it be that he had become the legendary Nanfu battery? Frustrated, he rolled his eyes downward only to see that when Eva giggled earlier, the bath towel covering her chest had slipped halfway down due to her body’s trembling, half-revealing her magnificent bosom right before Xiong Qi’s eyes.
