Chapter 52

Xiu Qiqi was plainly somewhat reluctant as well, but what Chang Guanyan admired was her willingness to admit it frankly. Her thoughts were the same as his. He lightly tapped his fingers, leaving a string of coded symbols in her palm.

Could that disheveled, bearded man truly be their exalted and decisive Lord Yisi?

The moment the commander spoke, the entire sea seemed to grow several degrees quieter. The young people who had just been answering so eagerly now hesitated. They seemed to realize that they might have said too much. Could there be things they were not supposed to mention?

Wang Xianlu said nothing. He looked at his wife with both sorrow and gratitude. It was such a large sum of money, and he had no idea how she had managed to gather it all.

But the Human Emperor had interfered, and the matter had fallen through. By now, the Celestial Emperor had come to terms with it and even intended to form a marriage alliance with White Cloud Hall.

“Then… Jianjia pays her respects to the Side Consort.” Jianjia stole a glance at the person seated above her, curtsied slightly, and spoke in a somewhat dull, hoarse voice.

An Yi froze for a moment, then boldly cast Mu Lingchen a meaningful look. He truly lacked the courage to ask Mu Suli to step aside. Just as Mu Lingchen was about to speak, Mu Suli had already picked up several white stones, immediately drawing Mu Lingchen’s attention back to the board.

Indeed. Chen Liang, you have earned the most among everyone here. Why don’t you tell us the secret of making several thousand yuan in just these past few days?

The enemy is in the open while I remain hidden. Besides, the Empress Dowager of Chen was such a vicious woman. Rather than matching wits with her, it would be better to withdraw while I still could and hide from her early on. That would be safer.

He naturally knew that he had used every ounce of his strength when he struck Wang Jun. Now that he saw Wang Jun’s miserable condition, his heart sank even further.

Although doing this was deeply unfair to the Phoenix King, they could only use it as bait for the time being. Everything was in pursuit of the true culprit.

Shen Qingwu stood outside the door, listening to the sounds within. Her hand hovered uncertainly, wondering whether she should knock. After a moment’s thought, she finally rapped twice.

“Then I’ll head over first. If anything comes up, call me.” Wanligu nodded as he spoke.

“Don’t worry. I’m only asking about sound-based special moves. That’s your strength,” Ting Shu said.

At that moment, Wang Leshui calmly folded a paper crane and sent it flying. He then left the room and entered Sakurajima Xue’s bedroom.

As for the immense use the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth held for me—I am no longer in the original human form I was born with. Therefore, I intend to reconstruct my body with this primordial supreme treasure, hoping to perfect it by taking advantage of the cauldron’s ability to reverse acquired properties.

Yet Ilyasviel did something astonishing: she used magecraft to force her body to mature, allowing it to grow like that of an ordinary person.

It was clear that, like his father, he was also a patriot. He, too, wished to see the Dragon God Empire grow stronger.

Although the healing abilities he possessed continuously provided Lin Ming with an exceptional level of healing that was of enormous assistance—

The speaker was a lionkin, a member of the royal legion among the beastfolk. His status was only slightly below that of the Behemoth Legion.

Wu Peining’s words plunged him into thought, because everything she had said was true. In that case, this was not a matter of my having crossed into another world.

It was an introduction from someone familiar, so there could be no mistake. Only those closest to the dead could see their ghosts. Moreover, I had killed quite a few pirates the day before yesterday. Though they deserved death, they were still human lives, and my sins had consequently grown heavier. If I helped more wronged spirits, perhaps I could offset some of my own guilt.

“How about it? I’ll borrow your head for a while.” A figure appeared behind Liu Yang—it was Liu Li. Holding his war blade horizontally, he slowly walked to Qin Meng’s side, seized Qin Meng by the hairpin, and yanked his hair tight. With a slight exertion of strength, the blade’s edge pressed against his neck.

After the first four matches ended, the rankings of the top three competitors shifted subtly once more. Cai He and Cao Pi stood jointly at the top with twenty-six points each. Huangfu Song quietly claimed third place with twenty-five points, while Zhu Huai slipped to fourth with twenty-two, falling three points behind the leading group.

After both sides had conducted careful tracking and investigation, the truth emerged. With the support of the Hall of War Gods, the Cai family had combined its former elite Ghost Shadows to establish a terrifying organization called the Asura, devoted to assassination, surveillance, and capture.

I understood what he meant. He simply wanted to find out who was secretly helping me. But would I tell him?

The sudden change left everyone in the great hall dumbfounded. How had things suddenly turned into this?

From then on, the human world lived in peace. Vampires never again appeared in the human realm, and even the hunters gradually concealed themselves among ordinary people.

Seeing Xiao Li in such agony, Lin Moheng wished he could take her place. His suffering at her side was no less than hers.

Under the cool, frosty moonlight, Luo Ping escorted Xu Fu away. Only after settling every detail of the plan did he return to First Taste Fresh.

Chu He had no idea what these people were thinking. He was busy interacting with the players watching his livestream.

What had he done to her? Of course he had done something to her—but how was he supposed to say it aloud? Clearly, from that moment onward, her world and Gu Yunsen’s were destined never to intersect again.

“But, my husband, if you continue like this, it won’t be good for either me or the child. I’m afraid you’ll fall ill before I even give birth.”

“This… I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose that. Under normal circumstances, I can make the decision myself. If you insist on meeting my master, that can also be arranged. Leave us an address, and we’ll pay you a visit…” The person in charge looked somewhat troubled.

“An in-game purchase system similar to those in League of Legends and Dota 2—firearms, character skins, special effects, animations, and so on.” Chu He did not conceal anything as he listened to Charles ask about the in-game purchases in Legend of the Peak.

“Has it really been a long time?” Leng Chengye deliberately played dumb, then said with earnest sarcasm, “In my opinion, it would be better if the two of us saw less of each other.”

She suddenly remembered the time in the Criminal District when the kitten had held her and called her “Big Sister” again and again.

Han Bing did not know whether this sensation was because she had already attained a blue-rank physique or because this garden possessed some secret technique capable of altering the climate.

With that, Chu Bai urged the surging Purple Dawn True Qi within his body. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body drifted backward out of the thatched cottage. After several successive leaps, his figure vanished into the vast night.

This time, a commotion finally arose among the spectators below. Astonishment filled every face.

Because the terrain from the sketch had already been committed entirely to memory, Han Xing and the others rushed into the building without hesitation and found the first entrance on the lower floor.
