Chapter 49: Celebrity Survival Challenge 9
After more than an hour, Nan Chu finally found a suitable spot. She discovered a small pool of water, formed by underground springs seeping to the surface. Nan Chu first cleared out all the water in the pool, then cut branches to cover it, preventing animals from drinking from it.
She then began setting up camp. During the two hours spent scouting for the campsite, Nan Chu had cut many vines and strips of bark, which could all be used as ropes.
Fang Xuemei shifted her gaze onto Xia Ling. “Xuemei, are you calling me? Am I Xuemei?” Fang Xuemei looked at Xia Ling, her eyes full of confusion, giving no hint that she was joking.
“The mist clouds will soon descend into chaos, stirred by the magic cultivators. Whether it’s the demonic qilin or He Zhen, they are all magic cultivators. So why hide the truth?” He Zhen responded coldly.
Zhao Yu’s words were straightforward and clear. Even if Xu Chu was confused, he could understand this without direct involvement. In fact, Zhao Yu’s words to Xu Chu shocked him deeply; all the plans he had intended to carry out were shattered in an instant.
Slipping on his shoes and getting out of bed, the guesthouse steward heard the noise and immediately knocked before entering to attend to him. After rinsing his mouth, washing his face, and having a meal, Cheng Yitian went out for a stroll.
At that moment, the divine eye within Yun Yang activated, piercing through layers of dark clouds to witness the battle between Shui Menghen and the Demon Lord atop Yunfeng Mountain.
As Han Lang approached the divine dragon statue, he felt an immense pressure weighing down on him. Falling God Ridge was truly terrifying, beyond ordinary comprehension. No wonder demi-gods and even deities had fallen there before—it was overwhelmingly strange and sinister.
Yun Yang’s smile stiffened. Reflecting on his childhood—fatherless and motherless—he had never truly known the warmth of familial love.
From here to Chiling Manor was only a matter of minutes, which pleasantly surprised him.
Seeing her so indifferent to the need for fire, Jiang Yu felt a twinge of unease but obediently took the ring in his hand. He wasn’t afraid of Li Zhi’er’s cultivation at the Myriad Methods Realm; rather, an inexplicable instinct urged him to comply with her wishes.
“Ten thousand troops… really stingy… but enough!” Cong Yi boasted arrogantly, stuffing the check into his pocket and taking the token given by the Pope to the barracks to summon the men.
“You insolent brat, you dare to block me? I’ll beat you senseless!” Su Nanfeng was the most impatient with defiance, even from his own son. Besides, he was furious at the moment, needing an outlet for his anger, so he directed it at Su Yutang.
“Anata, all this… do we need that plus sign? What’s a plus sign?” Chicheng couldn’t help but ask his commander when he saw the scene.
Looking at the nearly finished meal, Ying Ruan was curious—could her cooking really be that delicious?
Yan Zi folded his arms as Yi Huan linked hers through his, and the couple set off for the banquet hosted by the American Minister. There, Yi Huan met Mr. Calodi, with Wang Jiayu as his dance partner.
“What?” Not only Shen Huaian was stunned, but Kong Ruo and Gu Dongliu were also frozen on the spot.
He should have been angry—he had every right to be—but after days of anxious waiting and longing, he sadly realized he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at all.
The bodyguards of the Charlie family whispered among themselves, faces filled with scorn and mockery.
Zhou Zhennan saw the two holding hands, his eyes flickering slightly. “We ran into Commander Yan on the road. When Yan learned you were in trouble, he came with me to rescue you.” When he saw Yan Zi raise his gun and shoot Li Erhu dead, he was grateful he had spoken honestly at the time; otherwise, the rescue would have been far more complicated.
In the past, Li Lu would have noticed her odd behavior and gone to comfort her. But she was rushing to sail out with Lu Yilun and had no time to deal with the old lady, so she just grabbed her bag and left.
