Chapter 35: I Do Not Dine with the Dead

That ancient aura of immortality had also been carried away by the black shadow, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

“Come on. Let’s go over there and see what they’re planning.” Lu Feng took Ye Wan’er by the hand and led her toward Huo Yu and the others.

Ice Attribute Attack: Attacks are imbued with ice-element power, with a chance of freezing the target and preventing it from moving.

The spectators in the distance were likewise utterly stunned. Their shock was no less than that caused by the sudden appearance of a peak ninth-stage Martial Ancestor.

Now, the only way for him to survive was to let Yun Shan’er stay by her side. Otherwise, she really might go insane under such a devastating blow.

This was Ji Wuming’s ultimate trump card, a technique he had never used before. Of course, if he had used it in the past, he would already have been dead.

Every autumn, the villagers cut ramie stalks and brought them home to soak in a pool, allowing the outer bark to rot away and leaving behind the inner fibers. After washing, pounding, rinsing clean, and drying them, the fibers could be woven into linen cloth or twisted into hemp rope.

The twelve colossal beasts merely roared toward the sky, as though sensing something—or perhaps calling for something.

A sniper-rifle bullet was nothing like a pistol bullet. A sniper rifle fired with far greater force, so the damage inflicted upon being hit was also much more severe.

This was a special phone Qinli had given him. Under normal circumstances, it could receive a signal anywhere on Earth. However, only those close to him knew his number, so whoever could call him at this hour was probably someone with whom he had a good relationship.

In other words, Perfected Guangjie had obtained all the resources of the ancient Overlord Clan. Even if he had once been slightly disadvantaged compared with his peers because of his age, his cultivation was now in no way inferior to theirs—in fact, it was considerably stronger.

For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly stirred in his heart, itchy and faint, as though a feather were teasing it.

“No!” The man in white gave her an unfathomable feeling. Instinct told her that, like Yexiang, he was not from this plane. Although she trusted Yexiang’s abilities, she was unwilling to bring some unknown danger upon him because of a single word from her.

Believe them. After all, if things really were as their investigation suggested, then Asai Hiyuka could never have roamed free for so many years without anyone managing to catch him.

The scene was like a child riding a bicycle headfirst toward a truck—like an ant trying to stop a chariot.

As a professional player, he possessed remarkable intelligence. The moment he saw the four words “Fusion Chest,” he had already guessed what the system was trying to do.

“All right, everyone, let’s set out!” Han Fei rose and walked toward the door, but just as he reached it, he felt something soft collide with his chest.

“I took the music box to my master today to have it repaired. He’s already fixed it.” After thinking it over, Xia Fangyuan decided not to tell Gong Shaoxie that her bag had nearly been stolen. She was quite curious, though... If the bag had really been taken and the music box had disappeared, what would Gong Shaoxie have done?

“What a pair! Their coordination was absolutely flawless. I wonder if they discussed it beforehand. That kind of tacit understanding is truly incredible. They even managed to fool me—the number-one young expert in Liaohe Town...” Zhang Biao said with a laugh from the side.

But no one had expected Professor Yuan to be harder than a stone in a latrine, while Ye Susu seemed to have no idea what kind of bewitching potion she had given the professor.

Ye Qingqing stared unblinkingly at Lu Mo. Their faces were pressed together, their eyes meeting, their noses touching, and their lips almost touching. They could even clearly see the fine pores on each other’s faces.

When they returned, they found Zhang Feiyan and Kang Pan meditating and regulating their breathing, while the Sun siblings were starting a fire and roasting meat. It seemed that tonight’s dinner would be roasted iron-backed forest boar. Zhang Biao had also gone off to cultivate, while the gutted iron-backed forest boar was being gnawed at by a large tabby cat.

“Qingqing, you’re being disobedient again. You’ve been very disobedient lately!” Ye Zhiguo said coldly. His gaze grew even colder, while the strength in his hand increased as he dragged Ye Qingqing, stumbling and staggering, up the slope.

Zhang Hao quickly crouched down and began digging. Before long, he uncovered a corner of silk cloth. He tossed it aside without paying much attention, then immediately picked it back up.

Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi returned to their seats in disgrace, completely unable to focus on the lesson. They had to find a way to make amends—even sixty points would be enough. After finally enduring the class, the beautiful teacher Mao stepped away in her high heels with graceful, swaying steps.

By then, even Zhang Feiyan, foolish as she was, should have understood that Yun Feng was doing it for her own good. Pouting, she went off to practice.

“All right, I understand. You may return for now.” Lu Mingfeng, dressed in a pale goose-yellow jacket fastened down the front, accepted a letter from the old woman and nodded.

Gradually, the Flame Wolf’s struggles slowed, until at last it lay completely motionless. Just like that, the Flame Wolf was bitten to death by the Scarlet-Heart Leopard.

Yet the unmistakable approach of a masculine presence—one so familiar, so reminiscent of their former passionate intimacy—still caused Hu Xue’s breathing to become unsteady for a moment.

After glancing at Ye Wushuang, who was grinning slyly, she still obediently handed over a plate of pickled radishes.

Things like this were usually the result of adults putting children up to it. Miao Yi truly had become unlike herself, even willing to use a child.

“Don’t leave me behind. I’m scared...” Su Qingyuan had forced herself to say so much earlier, but all of it had merely been preparation for this one sentence.

At the time, the fish demon had relied on the strength of its arms and the dense scales around its neck, believing it had nothing to fear. It had not expected the golden hook to travel across its body and clamp tightly onto the fatal weak point in its throat. Just as the merfolk creature cried out in terror, before its webbed fins could even begin to beat, Zhang Ruyun had already yanked the fishing line, pulling the enormous merfolk creature out of the deep pool as swiftly as the wind.

The Qi family cultivators realized that something was wrong. Without caring about anything else, they all leaped into the air, intending to flee.

“You have already seen Grandmother’s true form. The trunk alone is enormous, resembling a pillar that reaches the heavens. To support such a terrifyingly massive trunk, its root system must naturally be astonishingly developed. No one knows how many meters it extends beneath the earth or how vast an area it covers. Even she herself may not be able to fully control her own true form.”

Most likely, the steward had dragged Taoxiang away. Ye Wushuang would not show mercy to a disobedient maid.
