Chapter 49: Just Obey and It Will Be Fine
The convoy came to a halt. Dozens of government soldiers began preparing meals. Su Tang also stepped down from the vehicle. Li Qingtian followed closely by her side, while Da Hei wagged his tail and wandered among the men. The soldiers chuckled warmly, offering pieces of meat and sausages. Da Hei accepted everything eagerly, yet whenever someone tried to pet him, he would swiftly pull away, making it impossible for them to touch him.
“That dog isn’t afraid of strangers at all,” Li Qingtian murmured. Su Tang nodded in agreement, having noticed it as well.
Seeing this passage, she smiled with eyes curved like crescent moons, feeling no urge to revise it; she sent it out as it was.
The lingering presence of Zhong Yinhong still hadn’t been expelled from the burly man’s body, and she wondered if Xu Banxian’er’s wound had healed yet.
At that moment, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves overhead, the sound imbued with the aura of a master, almost spilling out from the screen.

Lu Lan bit her finger for a moment, calming her racing heart before grabbing her phone again to double-check the line of text in the friend request.
Li Zheyu held his shirt up, trailing beside Tang Yimo, half of his body fully exposed to the rain.
After speaking, Park Bucheng clutched his wine jug and, seizing the moment when Chu Xian was distracted, excitedly dashed back to his room.
He carelessly tossed the paper tiger onto the floor without chanting any incantations; the paper fluttered and drifted out through the door crack.
Fifteen minutes later, amidst Tang Yimo’s yawns, Li Zheyu reluctantly ended his lengthy monologue.
The celestial immortal paused mid-step, his massive eyes gleaming with palpable fear.
After briefing his subordinates, Shang Hao stopped concerning himself with the matter. To him, as long as his forces were strong, reclaiming those southern star territories was no problem.
Though in the hospital, Old Master Jiang’s presence was as weighty as Mount Tai, naturally drawing many attendants. Even there, he was never left unattended.
The renovation adhered to principles of frugality, yet also considered practical functionality, ensuring it met the essential structural needs of both the academy and the medical hall.
A breeze stirred, rustling the fallen leaves on the ground. The two stood silently, expressions inscrutable, their thoughts unknown.
Once a qushi reached the saint level, they could glide through the air, though only briefly. The higher their cultivation, the longer they could sustain flight. After these few days of acclimation, Tian Li’s cultivation had recovered to around the third saint stage. Should he reach the celestial rank, he could remain in the void all day without exhausting himself.

Gao Zhi pondered silently, realizing that this approach would require engraving countless formations. He calculated meticulously, dividing the body into regions—vital organs, limbs, bones—each needing at least a thousand formations inscribed.
In an instant, a formidable aura surged from him, like a dragon reversing the flow, sweeping across stars and moon, tearing apart the thunderclouds above, hanging them in the sky, pressing heavily toward An Bochen.
A slight sweep of soul power initially left him indifferent to the celestial sealing, but upon seeing it clearly, he was shocked to realize his grave mistake.
They were supposed to request the faith talisman from An Bochen, but no one dared to initiate. Such a talisman could sever the faith of a hundred nations; whoever possessed it would not find peace. Paranoia and suspicion would be inevitable.
As clarity returned to the heavens, Chu Yang wasted no time, reaching out to grab the Swallowing Sky Beast and darting swiftly beyond the main hall.
“Is it alright? Could there be high-level monsters?” Zhao Na asked with a mix of excitement and hesitation.
Suddenly, Weiwei, standing motionless in midair, spoke calmly. Yet even so, those in the square felt the sudden surge of pressure and murderous intent radiating from her. Many halted, but some reckless and fearless souls still charged forward heedlessly.
