Chapter 48: Notorious Far and Wide

“What is this stuff? Why is it so hard to cut?” Mao Mingcheng could not help wondering.

The vines and thorns looked fragile, yet proved extraordinarily tough.

He took a few steps back. It was not his imagination—this was downright bizarre.

Those thorns were impossible to guard against, always springing out from somewhere without warning.

Bound as he was, Lu Yuan could not help reminding him, “Watch the ground.”

They were standing on the very spot where he had fallen victim earlier.

She sat down on the sofa, slowly crossing her jade-white legs. At the instant Lu Tao glanced toward her thighs, he caught a flash of black beneath the hem of her skirt.

Lin Yue cried out, but before she could finish, she hurriedly covered her mouth. Her terrified eyes instinctively darted around, and only then did she remember that she was in a private room at the Fat Shop.

Moreover, although the top-lane fighter’s weapon had been suppressed at first, its development had now caught up. With Trinity Force and the Dragonblade in hand, it was already dealing tremendous damage.

Hundred-Refinements Academy was one of the academies surrounding Heartlake Island, and one of the five that had invited the Carefree Academy to tonight’s banquet.

Kneeling before the emperor, Bian Yun trembled uncontrollably. She had never imagined that she would fall into such a state. How could the imperial retreat possibly have caught fire in the middle of the night?

The front hall had been arranged in a luxurious and imposing style, perfectly suited to the empress dowager’s tastes. The twins changed clothes, then returned and found their parents. They walked over to them.

The referee had no intention of letting Wang Yi rest. The moment her opponent stepped onto the stage, the referee announced the start of the match.

The instant Chen Mo saw the Blade Mistress, he unleashed his ultimate ability, moving directly from the enemy raptor camp to the brush behind the blue buff before heading toward Baron.

She wore an ultra-short skirt that left her entire thighs bare, along with a tight white short-sleeved top that hugged her impressive curves.

“Qin Shi. Spiritual Awakening, Stage Two. Perfect mental power...” The information that immediately appeared in his mind sent Qin Shi straight into despair.

Who could have imagined that this man was one of the most powerful martial artists in all Great Qian? Even when he had only reached the Innate Realm, he had been able to fight an expert of the Path-Entering Realm head-on through sheer cultivation and remain undefeated. Now that he had spent many years in the Path-Entering Realm, his power was likely capable of reaching the heavens.

After murmuring those words, the man lowered his head despondently. He raised a hand and, seemingly without thinking, pulled the brim of his hat lower. Then he turned and left.

Ye Chenxi had already become certain that the game’s true appeal lay primarily in its various mods and plugins. If the game managed to become popular, it would certainly not be because its core gameplay was exceptionally replayable, but because it was supported by a free community brimming with creativity and boundless enthusiasm.

They had nothing worthwhile to offer on defense, so they could only strengthen their offense—trying to match the Hornets offensively, or better yet, surpass them in attack power. If they could do that, the match would become far easier to play.

If the other party’s status was not greater than his uncle’s, then his uncle would certainly say, “Have that Yang Dongxu come to me,” rather than, “I’ll take responsibility for this.”

Xiong Youdou had been standing nearby admiring the scenery when she heard Xu Le’s voice, and her body trembled involuntarily. She had wanted to argue, but then remembered what Xu Le had said back then: she was only a slave. What right did she have to resist?

The Celestial Being—in other words, the True Demon—had a tranquil gaze. The power of fate was unable to act upon him. It seemed that the two belonged to entirely different systems. It passed through his body and repaired the entire city, yet it did not alter the fact that the True Demon had appeared.

The Mountain God Stone forced a stiff smile onto his face. His right hand was clenched tightly around something as he tried to bring it above the surface. Suddenly, a scorching heat surged through his hand, continuously searing his palm.

“Could you stop looking down on people? I know you’ve been doing very well abroad, but although our domestic economy lags behind, we’re hardly ignorant of the global economy.” Yang Dongxu’s look of astonishment had bruised Bai Qian’s pride a little.
