Is there really such a wonderful thing in this world?

"I'm afraid I might not be able to afford that rental fee," Zhou Jianliang said, shaking his head. If they were to actually relocate, restart the production line, and resettle the staff, there would be numerous problems. Moreover, competition in the cassette recorder market was becoming increasingly fierce, and he felt the risk was simply too high.

Jiang Butong said, "As for that plot of land, I will have everything built for you—from the factory buildings to the workers' dormitories and the office building, all constructed free of charge."

...

Wu Hao also sensed the unusual atmosphere here. Instantly, primitive energy surged from within his body, forming a protective barrier around him. The two of them braced themselves and continued walking forward.

Up to this point in the competition, five members of the Lin family had already stepped into the arena, including the champion of this year's Lin family youth division. Yet, all of them had been defeated by Wang Gang, and two had even lost their lives on the spot.

Because the classroom windows were wide open, although the ice-condensation technique had absorbed the heat in the air, the air was in constant motion. The cool air quickly drifted out of the classroom, and fresh waves of heat soon rushed right back in.

Zhang Genxu paid no more attention to the doctor, swept the medicines, gauze, and other medical supplies from the table into his bag, and left the ward, pushing the door open.

"Success?" The newcomer was dressed in the armor of a guard—it was General Lei Ao, having changed his clothes.

Zhang Jiao and the other four struggled for a long time without even managing to graze a corner of Wang Chao's robe, yet their opponent had inexplicably achieved a breakthrough. The moment Wang Chao finally made a move, he instantly defeated five formidable masters who had surpassed the Martial God realm and attained the pinnacle of arcane sorcery.

With a bang, the door was pushed open. Nangong Yu strode over to Shui Lianyue in a few steps, followed closely by the matchmaker and attendants who hurried forward to support her. All the way, Nangong Yu did not utter a single word, while the matchmaker chattered incessantly with auspicious blessings.

"Senior Brother Guangzhi." Wu Hao looked up and called out with a smile. The person approaching was none other than Guangzhi, the chief disciple of Star Peak.

Had it not been for Mo Qiang, Lin Xiao could easily have waited another ten days for Mo Qiang and Mo Shibo to be consumed by the ancestral power within their own bodies. In that way, the seal within Lin Xiao would have dissolved automatically, sparing him from taking such grave risks.

The second, third, and fourth of the Four Libertine Scoundrels of the Five Elements Sect were also at the Spirit Refining realm, but none of them had reached the ninth stage of it. If the three of them were to face Pan Shiting, they truly would be no match for her.

Luo quickly reached out and caught the falling decorative plaque, examined it a few times, and handed it to Luoxi. Luoxi also inspected it briefly before turning to look at the massive doors. There were no slots or indentations on the doors to accommodate the plaque, and for a moment, the two of them were completely baffled as to how the metal ornament should be used.

Following this, Li Qiang's expression turned chillingly cold. Without a moment's hesitation, he flicked his wrist, and a chilling gleam burst forth from his sleeve, trailing a faint white beam of light through the air.

Du Heng languidly sprawled in Xiao Jue's arms. Xiao Jue clumsily used his fingers as a comb, slowly smoothing out her hair in an attempt to braid it.

"So when Prince Kang sought you out, you agreed on the spot?" Xiahou Yan said indifferently.

Luoxi genuinely felt a sense of affinity for this second elder, who possessed such a transcendent and ethereal air. At the very least, compared to the other three, he looked infinitely more trustworthy.

Before Xia Ji could even react, Xia Lei could no longer hold back his anger. He rushed forward and landed a punch straight to his face, bloodying his nose and leaving him with a crimson-stained face.

Why, she wondered, had she been so foolishly stubborn as to reject Xiao Jue's kind offer to assign her several seasoned chief managers back then?

The ant-demon paused upon hearing this, then let out an even more ferocious howl. A few days ago, it had traveled to another territory in search of suitable prey, only to return and detect the scent of humans lingering in its own domain—and there was more than one.

With an innate and unspoken tacit understanding, almost at the very same moment Luoxi spoke, a mass of grey mist materialized in Luo's hand. Unlike the black mist Luo usually summoned, this vapor appeared even dimmer and dull, carrying an eerie quality that sent a chill straight to the bottom of one's heart.

Although he had repeatedly emphasized to the brothers around him not to draw too much attention on this trip, the majority of his subordinates failed to follow his instructions. In their hearts, Brother Dong was emerging from seclusion—such a momentous occasion could never be handled carelessly.
