Chapter Eighty-Eight: Body Possession

The sudden appearance of the woman in green left Qin Xiaomo and Jidou rooted to the spot, then instinctively backing away. Jidou’s mind went blank; Qin Xiaomo, at least, still remembered her Mysterious Glass Blade. It sliced through beasts as smoothly as tofu—she wondered whether it would remain just as sharp against demons and dark spirits.

“Jidou~” The woman in green reached out once more, still trying to seize Qin Xiaomo. This time, at least, she did not extend those willow branches.

Qin Xiaomo dearly wanted to say, “You’ve got the wrong person!” But on second thought, Jidou’s meager abilities were even worse than her own, so she yanked him behind her in one swift motion.

Seeing that the woman in green had entered the house without the slightest hindrance, Jidou’s face filled with panic as he asked...

If Shu Yuhan had not now borne the status of acting branch mistress of the Lotus Sutra line, the guarding cultivators would never have been so courteous.

And so the Celtics actually held on through the third quarter. The two sides played that period to a 12–14 scoreline; the Lakers managed only fourteen points and entered the fourth quarter leading the Celtics by just six. The collapse everyone had expected—where the Lakers would explode in the third and wipe the Celtics away in a single wave—never came.

The fans in Rio de Janeiro were stunned. In the space of barely three minutes, he had twice successfully intercepted the passes of an all-star league guard. Wasn’t that defensive ability a little too monstrous? Many suddenly found themselves wondering whether he might be some extraterrestrial being wearing yellow skin.

By now Lin Xinru had played with the two of them for quite a while and had grown familiar with them, shedding her earlier shyness and restraint. Hearing Li Sheng talk about surrendering before he had even begun to play his cards, she hurriedly tried to encourage him.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Princess Li blinked her lively eyes, and Lin Feng understood at once. There were four forbidden battle zones in all; if someone occupied one of those cylindrical spaces, it could easily be detected. With Princess Li’s intelligence, she had likely calculated long ago that he was here.

It was as though the sky had generated an endless magnetic field, abruptly changing the surrounding space. Snakes of lightning seemed to appear one after another as the void split apart, and the tranquil atmosphere of the whole serene tableau was instantly shattered.

Naturally, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade scroll would be useless now, and the Saint-Body True Man could no longer possibly be drawn into it.

Of course, to the people seated below the stage, this was nothing much; but to outsiders, it was absolutely explosive news.

“Hahaha, now that feels good.” Ling Ling simply sat down on the floor. The icy touch of the boards made her suck in a breath.

The other man had not expected Wu Yi to be so unreasonable. He tried desperately to yank his hand back, but how could he possibly match Wu Yi’s strength? In the struggle, his hand flew up and struck Wu Yi squarely in the face.

“Maybe when you were eating, a grain of rice got stuck to your face and you forgot to wipe it off.” Aike offered the reminder in kindly fashion.

Faced with Prince Ning’s bizarre remarks, the assembled generals were speechless for a moment. The prince’s mind was now wholly consumed by the thought of his consort being violated, and he had already lost the capacity for calm reason.

Are you kidding? This was the Great Yuan Empire—the world’s number one economy, for heaven’s sake—and it was about to recognize the Moonlight Empire just like that?

When Zhang Xingxing spoke, he used a trace of the power of heaven and earth, sending it directly into the bodies of Zhou Antao and the man in the suit.

“Blind to the immensity of heaven and earth, and daring to scorn the Supreme Elder—should he not be killed? Men, execute him on the spot.” At that moment, another old elder issued the order.

“If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll think your big sister here is easy to fool. Hmph!” Xia Lan pinned Xu Duan down again and straddled him, the bearing of a true gang leader bursting forth at once.

“So this is why you suddenly invited me to the Crossbell underground waterway?” Levi frowned.

“When I was on I Am a Singer, how did I sell that two-hundred-million sponsorship?” Xu Duan shot back irritably.

Even after tempering his flesh with Absolute Flame, the result could still be broken through by his opponent. How could Wu Yi not be alarmed?

After receiving this intelligence, the King of Savage Badgers examined everything with meticulous care and ultimately chose the northwest as the direction of attack. Thus the other three sides served as feints, while the main force quietly infiltrated from the northwest to the rear of the Great Sage Yellowfish and launched a full surprise assault.

After reading the text message, Guo Lingfei let out a long breath of relief and lit a cigarette. Then he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

“Ah... actually, I only wanted a photograph of her.” Cao Mengang scratched his head and spoke with regret.
