Volume One, Chapter 71: How Much Bride Price Are You Willing to Pay to Marry Me?

Father Lin and Mother Lin were completely bewildered. What on earth was going on? They felt as if they were hallucinating.

Ji Junyao anxiously gripped Lin Ranran’s hand and urged her, “Sister-in-law, you have four adorable children. Our whole family loves you dearly. Not a single member of the Pei family is any good.”

Lin Ranran smiled faintly. “Little sister, do you really have so little faith in me?”

Ji Junyao was momentarily stunned, then lowered her head. “I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”

“The North? The Ice and Snow Forest?” Was Celia really willing to travel so far from Zett? Hayumi was curious what terms Zett must have offered Celia to make her agree to come.

As he spoke, the old man suddenly swept his cane through the air. A beam of black light shot from its tip and struck the bowl-shaped vessel.

Blackwind, a fragment of the Bone Demon Ghost’s true soul, sensed danger and tried to flee at once. But before it could escape, it let out a startled cry. Three black shadows rose slowly from the ground, surrounding it.

“Kong Sanqiu!” The people of Kong Town began to talk all at once. Kong Sanqiu flushed red; seeing the displeasure on the faces of his uncles and elders, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Qi Jiao looked at the earnest expression on the boy’s face and was speechless. To think she’d run into an admirer.

“Clang! Clang!” At the entrance, a fierce battle was underway. With the timely support of the Demon Lord, the Minotaur commander and all his troops felt a sudden surge of confidence. Updates flashed clearly in their minds, instantly boosting morale as they clashed with the first wave of attacks from the Crocodile Demon King.

“Hoo—” Young Master Shen closed his eyes tightly and let out a long sigh, as if steeling himself for a decision. “You, kneel and apologize to the head of the Chu family,” he ordered the second son of the Wang family sternly.

A cold wind swept by. Far away in Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi wrapped his fur cloak tighter around him. The opportunity he had painstakingly created had nearly slipped through his fingers.

Here, different world planes bordered one another—manifesting as the Vertical World and the Opposing World. In fact, the Opposing World arose because of the Vertical World.

Would Yun Chen yield to their demands for her safety? Elena wondered, uncertain.

Later, the Eight Trigrams were calculated for this place, and thirty-three streams of spiritual energy split off, falling upon thirty-three separate points.

This planet, named “Afterglow,” was slightly larger than the Earth of memory. Fifty percent of its surface was ocean, and the vast continents formed a single mass, with only a few islands scattered far from land.

He did not intend to take another Vital Blood Pill; after all, his injuries would heal with time. It was better to save the pills for the future.

By now, many cars had stopped one after another. Their drivers cursed under their breath as they, like Chu Tianhe, walked toward the stone to see what was going on.

She sliced the remaining piece into thin strips and stir-fried them directly in the pan. Since it was hind leg meat, it was rich in fat, saving her from using her own oil. She also reheated the leftover insects from lunch and devoured everything.

Iron Mountain was the most powerful move in Bajiquan; being struck by it was no different than being hit by a speeding car.

Lin Jiayi thought for a moment. To motivate them, she decided to set up a reward.

Yuan Youshu also disagreed. The court was in an uproar, and with demons running rampant, the scene was utter chaos.

In other words, the Million Chops System could be upgraded to level four without any additional items.

With over a hundred production lines, more than ten thousand starport interfaces, and a vast central zone, it was truly a fortress in every sense—a platinum starport floating in subspace.

At this moment, Yuanyuan still held two pieces of pastry in her hands. Su Qingqing could only watch her eat, swallowing her saliva hungrily.

Events unfolded just as Natasha had predicted. Before the exorcism ritual began, the three demon hunters first received certain hints at the duke’s banquet, and later, at the inn where they stayed, they found a threatening letter.
