Volume One, Chapter 116: Ji Junshan, Studying While Building a Business

Ji Junshan had only been at school for a month when he spotted a business opportunity. His companions were all proud and arrogant individuals; if they discovered that his strength had suddenly surpassed theirs, it would surely lead to a fracture in their relationships and, more severely, inflict lasting psychological trauma upon them.

The second brother mused that if the shooter’s aim wasn't simply abysmal, then that lamppost must have been his mortal enemy.

The Celestial Emperor sat within his paradisiacal grotto, propping his chin as he gazed at the unconscious form lying flat on the purple jade couch, his brow furrowed with an expression that hovered between joy and sorrow.

After saying this, she winked at me. It seemed like a joke, yet it also felt sincere. I couldn't quite grasp what the cute girl was thinking; perhaps she was simply complimenting me.

"What’s going on? Why did that guy run away?" Feng asked Wu Xue, puzzled. Because the sequence of events had been so sudden, Wu Xue was just as bewildered. Despite having the upper hand, the opponent had retreated without a fight—a move no one could comprehend.

Later, I heard about her reputation at school, which was quite poor. People often gossiped about her, using derogatory terms, though no one knew about the connection between me and the "innocent girl." Yet, we remained in constant contact.

"Xiao, this city is truly strange. Why would anyone buy those useless stones as ornaments?" As one of the world’s pinnacle beings, Ho-Oh was no stranger to the human world, but the unique atmosphere of Pewter City made her feel stifled. Humans were simply too bizarre.

Since Lin Xiu knew of this divine weapon’s existence, he must be well aware of his own status. However, a divine weapon was one of his trump cards, and he had no desire to reveal it.

"Who told you this news?!" Gui Rong asked anxiously, his eyes darting toward the Madman as he spoke.

"Linzi, don't worry. I will handle this. Believe me, I won't let Tang Quan hurt you ever again." Ling Xiao stroked Hu Lin’s long, silky hair. He sat on the floor and stretched out his legs, a position that made Hu Lin more comfortable in his arms.

The skinny man looked resentfully at Commander Liao’s retreating back as the fat man pulled him away. "Let's go. Don't act like a dog exhausted from a little work." His voice was low, yet clear in the silent night. Though he seemed to be scolding the skinny man, his words were clearly directed at Commander Liao.

By now, there was no sign of the two of them, not even a trace of their aura.

Although the practice of vivisection was unheard of in the Dou Qi continent, various insidious methods like soul-searching were quite common.

Gu Shengchao led his army to rest for a few days. Each night, Wanyan Xi kept him company. When she jokingly asked Lu Jin to join them, Lu Jin was so bashful and embarrassed that she fled early.

Thanks to this episode, my "chuunibyou" antics had pushed my singing skills beyond the level of an ordinary performer.

However, remembering that Wang Xuefeng had kept his word and returned to her side, she felt she hadn't lost her conscience.

A Humvee roared out and pulled up in front of him. Stepping out of the vehicle was General Ross, long unseen, his expression stern.

"What—what are you doing? Entering the palace in armor is a capital offense!" Zhao Yitai was so startled that his wine cup fell to the floor. The others were equally confused.

"What is the next step of the plan?" Song Zhi asked nonchalantly, causing Zhao Yichen to suddenly snap his eyes open.

"Zhihuai, but you know it clearly, don't you? Your heart affirms it as well," Zhou Jingyan said bluntly.

One must be firm regarding one's reputation; one cannot simply wear any hat others try to force on them. I am now the Junior Minister of the Court of Agricultural Supervision, and I only care to wear my official cap.

Thomas thought Qin Yi was offering some form of payment, and his face darkened immediately. If it were anyone else, they might have accepted it, but since they were the ones benefiting from their visit to the ranch, asking for payment now would be a slap in their own faces.

That night, I forced the earth-soul of the old Taoist Chongxuan out of my divine chamber and dissipated it into the heavens and earth using my spiritual sense. Though I didn't deliberately memorize the useful contents of his memories, the strength of my consciousness allowed me to absorb them into my own recollections with a single scan.

Back then, he had harbored dreams of revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine and enrolling in a TCM college, but he ultimately succumbed to reality and studied Western surgery. Now, having the opportunity to learn from the legendary King of Medicine, Sun Simiao, he was eager to study, whether out of practical consideration or personal desire.

The entire stadium was in an uproar. Three minutes into the game, the opponent had launched three highly threatening attacks, but the only result was the injury of one of their own forwards. It was Ye Fan who had played the decisive role.

"What? It’s a fabrication? How boring," Zhu Wuxu said, deeply disappointed. Since it wasn't an elopement, he had expected a much better show.

This bizarre situation was truly baffling! According to common sense, after losing so many important relatives—even the pillars of their families—how could those powerful clans let the matter rest?

Although the letters and their few brief conversations gave the impression that Lu Yan was a bit blunt and slow-witted, in reality, how could he be a fool?
