Volume One, Chapter Ninety-Nine: Boo-hoo-hoo, They’re Picking on a Ghost!

Afternoon. After Yun Mojiu left the shop, she went, as she always did, to hunt ghosts and accumulate merit.

Today, her destination was a graveyard.

By the time she arrived, night had already fallen completely.

The driver refused to go any farther, so he stopped a few minutes’ drive short of the graveyard.

After paying the fare, Yun Mojiu set off alone toward the graveyard.

If Zhou Yan were able to fight a powerhouse at the Martial Dao Transcendent Profound realm, he would inevitably be under tremendous pressure.

Ji’s father and mother were still looking at her strangely. Kong Yuqing would occasionally sit at the table for meals as well, as Ji had requested. However, Kong Yuqing considered herself nothing more than a housekeeper, and whenever she could avoid sitting at the table, she would.

If Seris had not slaughtered the Ottoman Empire’s envoy without regard for right or wrong, would the Ottoman Empire have been so enraged?

Ajiao frowned. So troublesome—she had thought she would be able to get the video shot today after all. Going undercover really was arduous work.

Even for one of them, a gymnast with exceptional flexibility, the number and difficulty of positions she could manage still fell far short of Jessica’s.

Now that Zhou Yan was still recovering from such severe injuries, he might be able to deal with those weak, low-level martial artists, but he absolutely had no ability to handle a martial artist in the Embryonic Breath realm.

Because armies gathered for war did not produce anything and consumed enormous resources, war often revealed two extremes.

In his past life on Earth, Seris had already been suppressed for long enough. Back then he had been nothing more than an ordinary man; with the country at peace and the people secure, obedience was the way to survive, or else he could not have lived at all.

So Shi Tianhao endured the pain, peeling the fruit skin with one hand while imagining what had happened yesterday.

Gu Jianli slowly sat down between his legs, hugging her knees. Her back was slightly bent, her body arched as she hid herself in the water, with even the tip of her chin beneath the surface.

As soon as the other side saw their economic lead widening, they immediately began to relentlessly pursue Red Boy. The mage’s skills were long-ranged and heavy-hitting; after unleashing a full rotation, whether they killed anyone or not, they retreated at once.

“It all feels about the same. Nothing stands out,” Old Wang replied distractedly.

Li Lie immediately stifled the thoughts in his heart and said to Lord Taibai in a courteous tone, “Immortal Taibai, why not try some of the delicacies of the mortal world? These are the specialty chiles of Eagle Sorrow Ravine, and they are delicious.”

If their master had not arrived at Spirit Fox Mountain ahead of time, and if that monkey had not followed him and studied for so long, they would have been too late.

Leaving South Bell-and-Drum Lane, Liu Guangqi found a bus heading for the western suburbs of the city. From there to his destination was still more than ten kilometers; he would have worn himself out to death on foot alone.

“This thing actually has intelligence!” Pang Bo cursed, startled to discover that these creatures bullied the weak and feared the strong.

He intended to keep that family hanging in suspense, stretching their terror out endlessly, so they would forever remember what it felt like to have a sword suspended over their heads.

As for changing the nature of true qi, Guo Jing had no idea, but the path of steadily accumulating true qi until it underwent a qualitative transformation seemed good to him.

Wei Liangxu gave Steward Chen a faint, cold look, shot him a sidelong glance that clearly said useless, and reached out to shove him aside.

Although Xichun was unwilling to attribute such malicious intent to the matter before her, if she followed that line of thought, whose forces were the assassins outside? That was certainly worth a deeper investigation.

Daphne and her agent also knew what was going on, but they had never intended to make an enemy of the production crew. After all, Daphne truly was unharmed. Rather than tearing things apart with the crew, it would be better to be generous and forgiving; that would only make the people on set think better of her.

Xu Xicheng nodded thoughtfully, and the worry on his face faded as well. It was indeed as Xu Xiyu had said: with her academic record, she was sure to get into a good university. Once she was in university, things with her parents would probably become much easier.
