Volume 1 Chapter 24: Encountering a Talented Soul

For the past few days, Zhang Weimin had been leaving early and returning late, rarely spending any time at home during the day. Today, the recruitment work concluded ahead of schedule, allowing him to return home early. He took the opportunity to organize the application forms, hoping to familiarize himself with the basic backgrounds of the applicants. Upon entering, he saw Liu Fangfang sitting in the courtyard on a small bench, sorting vegetables. Zhang Weimin ignored her and walked straight into his room. He sat at the desk, which was covered in application forms. Liu Fangfang walked in softly and placed a freshly brewed cup of tea on the desk, carefully nudging the documents aside to make space. Noticing the peeling skin on her hands, Zhang Weimin frowned.

Two guards stood at the main entrance of the large tent. They were stunned to see Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang, and both Xiao and Le widened their eyes in mutual surprise upon spotting them.

"The spirit beasts we hunt do not rot in winter. I can use the 'Smelting Technique' to obtain a vast amount of source blood resources."

Looking at the back before her—which was not particularly tall—Bing Yan felt an inexplicable sense of peace. She did not know when it had started, but Yi Feng had become someone she relied upon.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yanbing cleared his throat and announced in a resonant voice, "As the saying goes, classmates for a lifetime are like kin for three generations. The bond of classmates is an unbreakable tie and an inescapable destiny."

Visible to the naked eye was a colossal statue. Xiao Long had originally thought it was a link connected to the crust above, suspending this entire landmass within the world.

This pleased the fat man and the thin man, as they believed that in the eyes of Gao Jun and Wu Xiaoyi, they were merely local security directors and township armed forces officials—grassroots staff—rather than accomplices to local thugs and village bullies.

Cuixin had stayed in Le Yiyang’s room for too long and did not want to disturb his rest. "Brother Le, I will head back to my room now. Please get some rest." Le Yiyang rose to see her out, then slowly closed the door.

Chai Hua, along with Laifu, Zuoming, and Xiaolu, hurried back. Fortunately, the Rose Hotel was very close to the Wuji Purgatory; it was just a few minutes' walk from the building to the top floor of the Tianle Park.

With suspicions aroused, several prominent figures took action simultaneously. The light of the Great Dao bloomed, forcing the Void God Stone to reveal its true form.

She had watched it with Nan Chu on the night she arrived in the northern city, but after that, it had remained untouched, the box never even opened.

It was likely that the police station had been bombed, and the newly moved office building required much work, leading to overtime.

Liu Qi nodded. He had heard of Shi Xie’s reputation—a man of broad mind and great importance, humble toward his subordinates, profoundly learned, and well-versed in politics. He was by no means an ordinary figure.

The reason Lin Chao had been so dilatory before was to exhaust his opponent's patience and make him drop his guard.

Yet, these people had refused him time and again, causing him to lose face. Did they hold a grudge against him?

"Then, then you may all sit." The Yellow-Robed Monster cast a secret glance at Sun Wukong. Seeing that the Monkey King was not paying attention to him, he felt an immediate sense of relief.

Seeing Qingfeng and Mingyue nodding, Zhenyuan Daxian could wait no longer and led the group toward the Ginseng Fruit Orchard.

The next day, once the customers had left and the soup was ready, Gu Qingshi asked the neighbor to watch the restaurant for a while so she could deliver the meal to the hospital.

The old Taoist and the so-called Ruyi Zhenxian had vanished without a trace, and the generals searched everywhere in vain.

"Second Senior Brother, you are too kind. I merely possess a bit of charisma. Compared to your charm, I am still 108,000 miles behind," Chen Xuanzang replied with a smile.

She flicked her finger, and a curtain ten zhang away fell, revealing a broken man. He was still alive, breathing slowly, embedded within the wood. He had no hands or feet and was blinded, leaving only his torso and head—a truly gruesome sight.

Yuan Haochen decided to accompany the Eye of the Earth as it flew out of the solar system before attending to other matters.

Dao'er agreed and ran off into the distance. Seeing Li Ruolan fluttering around the Sea Titan like a mosquito, Pan Yan waved his arm, unleashing a rain of swords.

In this mortal world, she could not personally grasp the magnitude of the "Sun Family," but that did not prevent her from adding leverage for the Ming family. Combined with the timeline Ming Cong mentioned, she felt they still had a chance.

Because its velocity had long since remained constant, it now orbited like a satellite, pulled by the gravitational effects of the universe into which Yuan Haochen was born.

Gao Fangping’s face was even more unsightly than a pig’s liver. He wanted to drag Old Zhang away and beat him to death—damn it, he was eating and using his resources, yet he dared to double-cross him?

Meanwhile, accompanied by a massive explosion, Zhang Fan was forced out of his state of Dao-union.

The Xiang family, unable to withstand such temptation, had now embarked on the same path the Jiang family had taken in the past.

As long as one lived here, life would be prolonged and health maintained. With proper care, even an ordinary person could live to be two hundred years old.

The next morning, Lan Feng ran over early and handed a paper bag to Tang Beibei. Tang Beibei opened it to find an exquisite black spider-silk tutu. Unlike the modified cheongsams worn by the Five Phoenixes, it had a phoenix embroidered on the chest as well.

The two chatted idly, but anyone with eyes could see that they were surrounded by an aura of romance.

Zuo Daozhen’s expression turned slightly sour, but the situation that unfolded the next moment far exceeded his imagination.

Upon hearing this, Pu Jingshui fell silent, her mouth agape; she did not speak for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang stepped forward and leaned his body toward Baldy Qiang, forcing the latter to loosen his grip on Uncle Wang’s fist and step back.

Seeing that Zuo Ming said nothing, Yun Di subconsciously assumed that Zuo Ming did not need her to do so.

One must know that a superior who could make even Vice Minister Chen stand by respectfully must be at least one of the major power-holders presiding over the central government.

The young master was in a great mood, his hands in his pockets, his posture lazy as he strolled toward the door with an air of indifference.

True Dragons. If trained to the absolute peak, they could devour the heavens and the earth. An adult True Dragon is invincible in combat.

Xue Yang was an honorary vice-captain of the Dragon Group and a prince of the Mermaid Clan. If he simply stated his identity and clarified his position, he surely would have succeeded in the mission. But what on earth had gone wrong in Xue Yang's brain for him to utter such foolish words?

In the brightly lit corridor of the facility, the cold and sharp-looking Hu Minghan walked in front with the person in charge of Red Tide, while Hu Mingjing, wearing Shadow-cloak tactical armor, followed behind, looking around with curiosity.
