Chapter 136: The Auction

He Yuzhu wheeled out his brand-new bicycle, placed two mousetraps in the room as a precaution, locked the door, and set off to take his younger sister to school.

Before going public, the television dramas produced by Huace could not compare to Tangren in terms of popularity or profitability.

Liang Yuan lay still for a while, but feeling restless and unable to let it go, he turned over, grabbed a beer and a cola, and tucked them into his bed.

Although this discovery kept He Yuzhu almost too excited to sleep, thanks to the body-strengthening effects of the genetic serum, he quickly fell into a deep slumber, undisturbed even by the thunderous roar outside.

Just as he stood up, people from the courtyard rushed in, but their furious expressions vanished the moment they saw Xie Yuchun.

Only those with the blood of the Phoenix Imperial Clan could enter this dense forest. As a member of the Phoenix tribe, Feng Wu naturally possessed this qualification.

Fang Sheng manipulated the surrounding water spiritual energy with remarkable fluidity, as if he possessed a natural affinity for it.

Jiang Xiao had no time to concern himself with the moods of others; he focused intently on manipulating his silver needles, while the crowd’s emotions rose and fell in sync with his movements.

Forty percent of 880,000 should be 352,000; it was short by 2,000, though Zhang Wei had settled everyone’s payments the day she collected the materials.

Guo Haodong steered the helm while thinking to himself that a beautiful environment could nurture the spirit; he hoped that through this trip, Nannan would completely emerge from her inner gloom and smile with happiness once again.

This was also where she differed from Murong Xun. Seeing Murong Xun walking directly toward the carriage, Lin Yingxue’s pupils constricted, and she halted her attempt to lower the curtain.

Wang Bo grabbed Li Xing by the collar with his left hand, shaking him violently, while his right hand landed a dozen slaps across Li Xing’s face. He hoped to elicit some reaction, but Li Xing seemed to have lost all sensation, sitting there with a vacant, expressionless gaze, indifferent to the assault.

Mu Kaisen felt a bit awkward, secretly relieved that Lin Yuwei hadn’t come; otherwise, if the jealous woman found out, he would surely suffer for it.

Just as Feng Jian was about to succeed, the ninja leaned slightly to the side, catching Feng Jian’s fist with his left arm. However, this move inevitably left him exposed. His arms were pinned by Feng Jian and Tsunade, and Orochimaru, seizing the opportunity, threw three shuriken toward his neck.

Suddenly, his stomach let out a rumbling sound, but it didn't last long before it fell silent again, as if nothing had ever happened.

Having experienced Lin Ye’s previous injury, Lin Yiyi was always sensitive and anxious about such matters.

Upon receiving the call from Zhang Changhao, Li Suqin felt the situation was of great importance, which is why she agreed to meet him at this restaurant.

Furthermore, there was only one of these devices, and there were many teams on the city walls; just because Lin Ye could use it didn’t mean anyone else could.

The invisible mountain trembled for an instant before returning to stillness, but how could such a change, imperceptible to an ordinary person, escape Qian Yuan’s senses?

"What exactly do you mean?!" John grew alert. Recalling the inexplicable loss of signal from Blake’s camera earlier, he began to suspect that Blake might have been compromised by the enemy.

"Miaoling... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I truly hope that you two..." Su Qingxue apologized in a hurry, but she didn’t know how to continue. If she said she hoped they would get together, it didn't seem appropriate, so she stopped abruptly.

"Search the vicinity for a larger spiritual spring; that is the only way to make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort." After speaking, Chen Hao cast his senses outward; the area he covered this time was significantly larger than before.

Shi Lai led Xu Duan into the banquet hall. As soon as he entered, Xu Duan was stunned. "Damn, this is so extravagant—have you no shame?"

"Brother Chen Hao, given our relationship, do you think I could also become an instructor at this advanced martial arts academy? I only need one pill," Dong Fenglie suddenly said, looking at Chen Hao.

Xia reached out to grab the projection before her, only to find she couldn't touch anything solid, which the still-childish Xia found truly amusing.

"If we apply fusion technology on a large scale, given our country’s level of economic development, how much Helium-3 would we need annually?" the Chief Councilor asked the Ministry of Energy.

Large-caliber coastal defense guns have long ranges and immense explosive power; they are truly terrifying. A single shot could flatten a mountaintop, and even an airburst would generate a shockwave powerful enough to shatter nearby aircraft, while the countless fragments would easily shred their hulls.

Regardless of the intelligent species, if one possesses thousands of star systems to develop, there is truly no shortage of space, and no need to fight to the death to seize someone else’s planet.

Zeng Yi had not forgotten why he came to this tomb. He sat cross-legged upon a throne carved from imperial green jade and began to absorb the dragon energy within the great hall.

Hearing this, his mother’s description of his great-grandfather’s corpse reanimating suddenly echoed in his ears. She had said there was a green substance on his great-grandfather’s tongue that looked somewhat like the color of jade.

Jun Xiaoxiao, standing before him, was still trapped. Though the demonic sounds had receded, the inner demons and distracting thoughts continued to erode her spirit. With her cultivation currently sealed, it would likely take quite some time for her to wake up.

Just after the sacrificial ceremony ended, the Emperor left, and it was from here that the princes and the Virtuous Imperial Uncle departed.

He shielded her behind him, facing the disaster alone. When they met again, he lifted her chin: "Would you be willing to be my wife?"

To keep the Old Snake, they needed experts to surround him. Shi Jue stepped forward and stopped five hundred meters away from the Old Snake. By now, Qin Yantong and the others had followed, but they were still maintaining a formation. Li Yanling had arrived, as had Zhu Yiting, though they kept a greater distance.
