Volume One, Chapter 70: Are You Sure It’s a Surprise and Not a Fright?

He... did he hear that right?! Master Yun is known for fortune-telling and reading faces to predict luck and misfortune, isn't she? How did ghosts suddenly come into the conversation? Could it be that she can actually see ghosts? But are there really ghosts in this world? At the thought of this, Shen Fan's heart began to race.

Shen Yan, too, glanced discreetly at Yun Mojiu. The incident with the lucky doll had already shown him Yun Mojiu's abilities. He used to be a staunch atheist, but after that experience, his worldview was forever changed, opening his eyes to the possibility that there might be many things in this world beyond his understanding and perception.

Before they arrived, he had roughly familiarized himself with the case. Presently, in the corridor...

Liu Dongfang issued another command, and this time, both sides' arms remained locked in place, unmoving, their muscles trembling slightly with exertion.

As a direct descendant of the Lin family, once one comes of age, they gain access to family shares and become a core member of the clan.

Reporters snapped photos furiously, always chasing rumors and paying little heed to the truth behind them.

Lin He refused to believe that his grandfather and the others could so easily forgive Lin Xing this time. If they did, then even if it meant being seen as the villain, he, as the elder brother, would not allow Lin Xing to continue down this path.

Gu Yining, hearing noises downstairs, went down and was met with Fu Yahui's sobs. From her fragmented words, he quickly pieced together what had happened.

The most bewildering part was an escort fee—the hotel owner himself offered to accompany the guests, asking for twelve million.

An ancient chime echoed in Li Yibai's mind, clearing his thoughts and gradually relaxing his body.

The boy nodded again, this time his eyes filled with hatred. He clenched his fists, staring at her with unwavering intensity.

Chen Yan turned and signaled the squad leader, who then gave the order to disperse. The recruits swarmed forward.

Zhou Fuchen pondered how best to convince Xiao Yi to agree to her opening a secret door from her room to the courtyard.

Thus, he made a pact with the willow spirit cultivating in the human realm: if he became the guardian deity of Peach Mountain, then should the willow spirit remain without a place to go, it could seek refuge with him.

Following the trail of demonic energy, the two proceeded onward, discovering that the source lay within the rear garden of the Lingxiao Palace.

Wiping out the Black Heaven Society posed little challenge, but today, we want more than to eradicate this nest of locusts—we aim to expose its deepest roots to the sunlight.

Before he could react, Zhizi pulled him into the teleportation gate. A flash of white light, and the two vanished from the collapsing world.

Supreme-level experts opened a battlefield high above, avoiding accidental harm to their disciples and elders below.

"It's nothing, really. Just that you look familiar—you resemble my late friend by seventy percent, especially in temperament and bearing," Princess Yan said, still confused.

The memory of the peculiar look his boss gave him last night made him feel uneasy.

"I agree, there's no need to take a detour. I'm very curious what could have driven so many insects here. We faced the armored beetle once before—it took us a lot of effort to deal with it. What could frighten even that creature?" Wang Xiaoling said.

The Spirit Martial Realm comprises nine provinces. Humans occupy seven, and the remaining two are divided, with humans controlling half of each.

South Yu was unconcerned—she did not shrink away in embarrassment, but instead leapt toward Tang Huaijin.

Guan Luhe instinctively reacted, dodging as though she were some ferocious beast, leaving a trace of sadness in Guan Xin's eyes.

Chen Hao knew that the First Young Master was making a declaration of his return, asserting his supreme status among the elite sons of Jinling.

On the large bed, Li Ke held Shu'er in his arms, gazing at the ceiling. After a passionate kiss, the two found themselves lying atop the bed without realizing it. Zhang Shu'er, her face flushed with embarrassment, nestled into Li Ke's embrace, while Li Ke sweetly cradled her, his hand stroking her glossy black hair.

The faces of several bodyguards were twisted into sinister, cold smiles. Clearly, they believed that faced with their pistols, Ning Fan would not dare resist in the slightest.

Her gaze grew hazy, as if a fire had ignited within her, her body no longer feeling like her own.

Mu Liyan was about to speak when his phone rang. He glanced down—it was his father.

At that time, Bu Tian granted Hua Jitian increasingly broad permissions, eventually allowing her to open portals at will, traversing hundreds or thousands of miles in an instant, even freely crossing spiritual fields. But one day, the Unknown suddenly restricted Hua Jitian's access.

My eyes stayed locked on the cripple. Unless this soul-summoning banner meant everything to him—even more than his life—this test was far too tense.

"I know well enough. After today, I'm certain. After dealing with the Ou family, the next I'll resolve is you," Di Shilin said to An Jin Yan. "Originally, I planned to find you and destroy you outright, but I was still considering my options—yet you came to me yourself."

But when Kim Soyan saw the contents of the A4 paper, she froze in place, gasping in shock.

The second son, Wei Hanshan, started by claiming he was not in Yandu and couldn't take the call; when it was finally confirmed he was in Yandu, he argued that, as a son, he shouldn't interfere with his mother's affairs.

Han Yingying followed Jiang Chengce through twisting corridors deep into the building, pushing open a massive door.

He Qingfan was heartbroken once more, thinking he had merely glanced at her backside a few times, without any thoughts or actions, and yet she bore a grudge. How was he supposed to carry on after this?

She began to undress, her lustrous hair cascading down her back, covering the majority of it—a beauty disrobing, alluring and captivating.

Just as these two former best friends from China fell into a stalemate, Jiang Chengce, arriving late, braced himself and walked toward Mu Manni and Su Youqing.
