Chapter 44: A Kind and Generous Heart

“What’s this? None of you are willing to admire the possessions left behind by traitors and rebels with me?” Qin Xiao’s gaze swept coldly over everyone in the grand hall.

Suddenly,

His voice rose sharply.

“Or is it that you are sentimental, afraid that seeing these things will remind you of their former owners?”

At these words, all the officials felt a jolt in their hearts.

...

Ever since the carpenter left the village, a new hardware store opened on the street. No one thought of him out of boredom anymore—only that it became a bit troublesome for the villagers if they happened to need a screwdriver at home.

Facing the swarm of aggressive reporters, the Spurs’ management and Alvers, who had long since prepared for this, were not caught off guard. With ease, they deflected all inquiries and kept the distractions from affecting the team’s regular training.

Coming out of Mr. Qin Lihua’s house, Wei Yu immediately spotted Qi Cheng leaning against a streetlamp. Thinking back, she realized it truly had been a while since their last encounter.

The couple walked side by side, discussing important matters, both deliberately ignoring a central issue. He had undergone special training; if he wished to hide something, there was no way she could pry it out of him.

A chill ran through me, and I hurried to look more closely. Sure enough, at the tip of that bone, there was a patch of blackened flesh and blood. Though it was still somewhat unclear, one thing was certain—this bone definitely didn’t belong to the ancient corpse.

Letters had always been sporadic, written every few days, then entrusted to Yu Jing to be delivered.

Lin Shu murmured, “I... I don’t know why it’s always you who ends up in these situations...” She couldn’t very well say outright that Lu Jingran was simply unlucky. In truth, it seemed she and Lu Jingran were destined to clash—every time they met, someone would be after her.

It must have started from that day. Every night since, I would wander this road for a long time, for all sorts of reasons.

Yet just as the fans continued to indulge in their dreams, the situation on the court changed dramatically once again.

The sound drew everyone’s attention. The players, who had put down their notes when Popovich entered, now all turned their eyes to Yang Ke beside Parker.

But at that moment, a terrifying hand appeared. Unlike the golden, radiant Buddha’s Palm unleashed by the Kongo Temple’s Master Kongwu, the giant hand that materialized in the sky resembled that of a long-dead person—enormous and ghastly.

“Dodge!” Yang Bai shouted to the crowd, while from beneath their feet, countless waves of corpse energy erupted, surging like the sea.

Moments earlier, Xuanyuan Dehong had publicly declared that Qin Lang would never be able to break through in his cultivation, only to be proven wrong the next second. No matter how thick-skinned he was, at this moment his face burned with shame, his dignity in tatters.

She knew this man could never be so cruel, yet since this was his house, she ought to listen to him.

So far, Qin Tian had yet to master any intermediate divine arts, but for now, he decided to boast and worry about it later.

Bai Xia just remembered that her royalty payment for the afternoon had arrived. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to buy him a meal.

When Ye Liangchen announced he would search Qin Lang in public, the crowd erupted in shock, while Yun’er, Xuanyuan Jingjing, and the others all turned pale.

In the second month after the Bloodflame Army’s arrival in the Fifth Divine Domain, peace was finally restored. Most of the Dark Demons had been exterminated, with only a few escaping or going into hiding within the domain.

Glancing back at the two bearded men still foolishly waiting at the entrance of the stone gambling house, Qin Lang sneered and strolled leisurely toward the inn he had booked.

Liu Huai was secretly delighted, but as he studied the wings of Guo Kan’s army formation, he realized that there were numerous spearmen and archers, as well as a large number of war chariots, all arranged in neat lines. Breaking through with cavalry would not be easy; without incurring some casualties, it would be nearly impossible to breach the flanks.
