Connecting the skeleton was a long and tedious process with an astonishingly massive workload. Only because Wei Yuan could deploy over a million engineering cultivators and worker bees was it completed within a few days. Activating it, however, was far simpler. With a grand wave of Wei Yuan's hand, a speck of light flared within the entire skeleton and shot straight toward the heavens, whereupon the phantom silhouette of a woman rose from the bones.
She bore massive curved horns on her head, her lower body was that of a serpent, and she had four arms and six wings, while venomous barbs flickered in and out from between the scales of her serpentine form.
"Don't worry about holding him accountable just yet. First, honestly account for your own issues," Cheng Yuan said, afraid he would wander off-topic.
By the time she had finished getting introduced to every member of this extended family, it was already noon. Eager to return to the prince's estate to check on the injured Xuedong, Ye Fenghua immediately took her leave of Old Matron Zhan and the rest of the Zhan family.
By the time the Second Master finished ordering the dishes and returned, Jixiang had finished dressing up and came to Fujin Hall in the front courtyard of the manor—a place used to entertain guests only during major household occasions.
From far away, Jixiang could smell the enticing aroma wafting from the basket. In the past, she definitely would have accepted the basket with gratitude and eaten the chicken leg.
Seeing the father and son act like this once again, Lu Meijun felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to rise or fall.
Luosha's face was filled with remorse. His arrogance had ultimately brought him bitter consequences; had he inquired about more information back then, he would not have lost so utterly.
There was so much land in the world, yet why did the soil that nurtured you happen to be barren? Fortunately, even though the soil was so barren, you never forgot to drive your roots deep down, drawing nutrients from within and struggling desperately to grow.
The air suddenly grew scorching hot, and behind Zong Zha and Ji Hong, a phantom image of a fire qilin over ten meters tall materialized behind each of them.
Yet thinking of how he had only just gotten twenty-five cents from Sun Ji that morning, getting more now would likely be impossible.
At these words, Jun'er's eyes flickered, yet he still showed no reaction. Was it because Uncle Xiao had died, leaving no one left in his heart worth saving?
President Wu seized the chance to lunge from the front seat into the back, pinning her down onto the cramped rear seat with his withered yet forceful body.
They had plenty of time to search room by room, and upon finding the jade pendant, they simultaneously discovered an even more earth-shaking situation.
Mumu swung a hand to strike without the slightest restraint. In Mumu's eyes, Heizi hadn't merely said the wrong thing—Heizi was a wretched traitor who had pushed her into a fiery pit, and naturally deserved to take a beating just as willingly as any shameless bastard should.
Thinking this, he sipped coffee while picking up the brochure from Manager Li's desk and casually flipping through it; the brochure was filled with banking services.
One had to know that the country's special departments were extremely sensitive. They certainly knew about the relationship between Ouyang Qian and Lin Tian, and wiretapping Ouyang Qian's phone was inevitable; if anything detrimental to Lin Tian came out of Ouyang Qian's phone calls, the sensitive nerves of these special agencies would surely bring trouble to Lin Tian.
"Perhaps so!" Yu Mo shrugged helplessly, flashing a dubious smile. Yet just as Zhu Qingyi smilingly withdrew the hand resting against her forehead and looked back toward the direction Lu Qingyu had left, a teasing, bizarre glint suddenly flickered within Yu Mo's eyes.
In his sleep, Lu Qingyu smacked his lips, reached down to scratch his backside, and then rolled over unconsciously.
"Oh, there isn't even the first stroke of the character yet, and your elbow is already turning outward," Ouyang Hua said, startled, before breaking into a smile at Ouyang Qian's appearance.
Hearing this, Yue Longtian had no choice but to listen to Li Xiang. At first, due to a psychological reaction, he kept feeling that the beef wasn't fully cooked and must reek of blood.
He flatly denied disclosing the stock manipulation to Guo Liang, while the phone trace only led back to a discarded number.
In the past, Tian Ci might have thought it impossible, but now he no longer thought so. Even plants could possess intelligence, and his current body had surpassed the so-called copper head and iron forehead countless times over. As long as he was willing, he could even channel the origin power within his body to summon wind and rain—practically no different from an immortal.
