Volume 1, Chapter 29: Spatial Ability
Guan Zizai’s large courtyard spans over half an acre. Nearly two-thirds of the space is dedicated to flowers and plants; there must be some three hundred pots in total, all cultivated and propagated by Guan Zizai over the past decade or more.
If this matter were to be reported to the authorities, people like Guan Yungang would be stripped of their status, if not worse.
"In that case, I am truly grateful to the General," Cai Xu said, his voice trembling with excitement as he expressed his thanks.
However, Ye Kai thought otherwise. He understood Ding Linglin as well as he understood the palm of his own hand, so when Cui Yuzhen described what she had seen, Ye Kai was not surprised.
Xiao Yiwang? Xiao Yiran frowned slightly. She had been at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s estate for so many days, and apart from her daily morning greetings to Bai Huaping, she had never seen this fifth younger sister of hers, let alone spoken to her. Why would she suddenly come to visit today?
But if the Blood Rakshasa hadn't suddenly lost control of himself, he would never have achieved victory so easily. In the end, a momentary lapse in judgment had given the Blood Rakshasa and his companions a chance to escape, and even the Flame Demon had managed to slip away.
Gao Chao discovered that Su Yirong was nowhere to be seen, and the man who had called out the demon had also vanished. With people guarding the exits on both sides, he grew worried that something had happened to Su Yirong.
Therefore, even knowing this was a shortcut to gathering intelligence, he dared not act rashly. Such blood oaths could subtly alter the promisor's inner self, and it was highly likely that the consequences would extend to his true form. After all, the Way of Heaven cannot be deceived; many things cannot be avoided simply by using a clone.
In this era, cars were a rare sight in the countryside. Every time one passed through Guandi Temple Village, it would draw a crowd of children chasing after it to watch.
This is the internal martial arts technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, utilizing leverage to neutralize force. Not many people understand this skill, and even fewer can apply it with such finesse.
Speaking of this, Erica explained, "AIM does not have the capacity to manufacture large quantities of incendiary grenades; there hasn't been enough time. We still haven't determined which arms company is supporting them."
Pablo, who was usually always in a rush, slowly lifted his head. His hands, which had been typing on the computer keyboard, suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with astonishment.
This challenger was an unconventional cultivator—a beast-tamer. His spirit beast was a Quaking Bear, possessing immense strength and hide as tough as leather. Even if Lin Tao exerted his telekinetic power to the fullest, enough to overturn a skyscraper, he still could not break through the bear's skin.
Aya closed her eyes, her fingers gently tugging at his shirt. Whether it was sweat from his chest or from her own palms, that part of his shirt was soaked.
As for those unknown enemies, Rong Yan curled her lips. Didn't they say there were still ten years left? Then let them wait; wait ten years to see what they intend to do.
After humans appeared, things changed. People gradually took over from nature to guide the evolution of living things: goldfish, racehorses, Japanese samurai crabs, as well as farm dogs and crops—all are the result of human selective breeding of already mutated organisms.
This time, most of the people in the audience really laughed. At the very least, this deputy director was relatively honest.
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhan almost spat out the blood he had just swallowed back. This was truly like coaxing a child. If the Alliance really had so many people that they needed that much space, the Thousand Sects Assembly would be put to shame.
Rong Yan had initially thought that the wedding dress with its long, trailing hem would be heavy and cumbersome, but upon putting it on, she realized it wasn't as heavy as she had imagined.
Xu Yuan felt helpless. After crying for a while, she had no choice but to inch along in the rush-hour traffic, repeatedly calling the landline, repeating her words mechanically.
If not for the massive pits and charred, broken wood that still lingered on the edges of the Huo Lian Forest, no one would have guessed that this place had once been turned into a death zone.
"Three of them?" Old Man Zhang clicked his tongue in surprise. He knew about cyborgs, but he hadn't expected the opponent to have such powerful ones.
Her mouth had split into a gap like a black hole, and where her eyes should have been were two more black holes. Even though she appeared to be smiling, her entire face was pale and stiff. It reminded her of a mask—a mask that had holes left exactly where the mouth and eyes should be.
To trample on a country currently known for its "Divine Doctors" in order to elevate the status of their own Medicine God Mountain—nothing could be more satisfying than that.
Outside the door, Cui Xinrou held a paper kite, listening to all this. Her mischievous, intelligent eyes rolled around, wondering what scheme she was concocting.
Finally, the four-colored fried rice—red, white, yellow, and green—was arranged on Ming Tian's plate in the shape of a Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol.
But the force of the separation might have been a bit too much; An Luo slid directly into the hot spring, while Ming Tian’s body kept sliding toward the bamboo wall.
In an instant, only two burning piles of fire remained outside, along with Zhou Hai and the other four, who were sitting on the ground silently gnawing on dried meat.
That very evening, the ages of all the members of the Old Boys group were exposed online. With the youngest being thirty-five, they were truly "old boys" in every sense of the word.
Saving people also requires the right timing. When Su Xin used the lightning spell for the first time, she had considered this problem, fearing that her good intentions might backfire and cause people to hate her instead.
"Mother, let's think of another way, shall we?" Chen Yu thought to herself that grain is the foundation of the common people. If any natural or man-made disaster were to occur, not having a reserve of grain would be a matter of life and death, so she was reluctant to sell the family's supply.
But right now, it was clear that Dilanlu and Long Jianfei were the bosses, while Gao Chunyu had become a subordinate. Dilanlu wanted Long Jianfei, so he took him into the inner chamber. Just as Gao Chunyu was about to follow, he was blocked by Jin Gang.
When Qian Ying saw her brother increasing his attack speed, she cursed inwardly, but she had already thought of how to counter it.
"Good child, you can stay in our home from now on and treat it as your own. There is no need to be so restrained," Bai Rou said, stroking Xia Zhu's face with pity.
"Brother-in-law, did I dance well just now?" Whether it was Dong Zhuo’s imagination or not, after Zhen Mi asked this, her entire body suddenly stiffened. Her eyes, filled with a hint of nervousness and unease, were fixed steadily on him.
