Chapter 32: Gone

On the first day of the New Year, Su Tang and Lu Jingyuan went to Xiangyi Pavilion to pay their respects to Master Fang.

On the second day, Master Fang brought Lu Jingyuan to meet Registrar Wang.

On the third day, Lu Jingyuan spent three days learning at Registrar Wang’s side.

On the fourth day, the Peaceful Inn opened for business.

On the seventh day, Master Fang took Lu Jingyuan and set off directly for the provincial capital.

Su Tang stood at the city gate of Ancheng County, watching as Master Fang and her young husband’s carriage disappeared into the distance, her lips twitching slightly.

On New Year’s Day, inside the villa, Yaotian and the others all sat warily in front of their father. Especially after listening to the recording he produced, Yaotian’s hostility toward his father deepened even further.

Descending from the resurrection array, Qian Renxing looked up and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

Sun Jinghui still seemed hesitant, while Wang Jun simply picked up the drink and took a swig. After drinking, he immediately exclaimed how good it tasted, then after a while said he felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body. Seeing this, Sun Jinghui also tried it, and sure enough, felt wonderful.

That’s right: the superpower his brother demonstrated to everyone was the body of steel. This ability turned his entire body—inside and out—into metal, including his organs and bones. That’s why his skin turned a silvery metallic color, a direct result of using this power.

As for combat training, Yin Jianzhong only sparred once with Yan Le before admitting defeat, as he was no match for Yan Le at all.

Zhao Xiaocheng’s barrage of relentless questions left Dazhuang’s ears ringing.

“Let’s go, let’s go, don’t stay here any longer—nothing more will happen for a while,” said White Wolf, ever the tough guy. After his wounds were bandaged, he stood straight and spoke with full vigor, signaling everyone to leave.

Listening to Uncle Heizi talk about Second Auntie getting taken advantage of and suffering setbacks, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. In her whole life, she struggled and schemed, but ended up with nothing—it’s truly tragic.

Suddenly, the void flared with intensity. The Fire Phoenix cried to the heavens, constantly resisting the light of the Demon Roc and melting swathes of icy snow blades. Unfortunately, Nalan Xueyao’s attack was only a feint. As he acted, Jiang Hui had already gathered the light of the stars, forming the Big Dipper: seven stars slanting like the heavens themselves, the Milky Way cascading downward.

It was a surprise to hear Kawakami take the initiative to speak in such a serious tone. Still, I wondered if he was only about to rant about this fight.

Lin Haifeng said he learned from some old comrades that Fu Shanxiang had long resolved never to marry. So, when Fu Shanxiang prepared to travel to Europe and asked to take Lin Fan along, he and his wife Liu Xianghe did not object.

“Haha, benefactor, you do have a sense of humor.” Though he said so, the Monkey King could clearly hear that Gu Yu had already made his position unmistakably clear.

The Black Dragon with five claws was only sixteen or seventeen meters long, but Scorpion Lady’s magical powers could be used even in dragon form. When she activated the Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, the Black Dragon’s body swelled tenfold, reaching one hundred and sixty meters—the ultimate limit for Manifestation in dragon form.

Inside the box were a container of grayish-black powder and a block of pitch-black material. Xue Chongxun took out what might have been coke and examined it for a long time, though he had never actually seen coke before… As for cement, he had seen it before, but the cement here was clearly not the same as what he knew.

“You’re not from the Italian zone?” Yang Feng exclaimed. The other four were shocked as well. To cross national borders, one had to be level sixty. The top player in the Italian zone was only level forty-six, yet Liu Tian had reached sixty—he was truly a monstrous talent.

Chen Tingxiang, who had tried countless times to restrain himself, finally couldn’t hold back. He dropped the binoculars hanging from his neck, raised his only remaining right hand, and delivered a hard slap to the face of Li Zhanglian, who was filled with guilt.

The Star Demon King nodded slowly at Megatron’s declaration, then looked to the other side, where a tall, robust middle-aged man stood, dressed in an Earth-style black suit. His black hair, ruby-like eyes, and chiseled features radiated both gentlemanly elegance and the steely demeanor of a soldier.

Night faded, but astonishingly, the main force of the Korean fleet vanished with it. For Nunez, who was so eager to discern the true nature of the opposing fleet, this only deepened the mystery.

After I leave for Dewen, you’ll need to stay in the country to expand the business. Once things are running smoothly here, you can delegate your work and come join me in Dewen.

On the hillside, rain mixed with mud, grass stems, and leaves, forming a muddy torrent that flowed down through the gullies.

The dimensional ant’s abilities were formidable, able to enter the shadow space with ease and emerge from it at will.

“How could I not! New year, new prospects—I’ve decided to give you all a raise: five yuan each!” Li Guyu understood how hard Duan Qing’s life was and wanted to help her out.

But she truly was looking for someone. In order to taste Qi Xiu’s cooking again, she was determined to find him.

Jin Biao and Chen Yan, seeing Qiao Yueyue arrive, had already scrambled for the best seats in the car. Xu Xia hurried over to open the door for her.

Mohei shook his head, showing his bewilderment. In all their years, they had never seen anything so unbelievable.

That the matter could be resolved this way was already a blessing in misfortune. Before the press conference, Zhang Shijiu, Huang Zhengyue, and the others all called separately to express their concern and marvel at the situation.

She was drenched in cold sweat. Li Guyu wiped the sweat from her brow and pressed on toward home.

“You may begin,” the man in black said coolly, as if he hadn’t even registered the blue-clad man’s words.

In the past few days, he had taken members of the Earth Ring to the Deep Rock Continent beneath the Great Whirlpool, hoping to ask Mother Stone, Therazane, about the recent disturbances among the elemental forces.

“I’m not hungry,” Yuchi Hong ignored Li Shuhua completely, focusing only on the lab report Cao Chongshan had placed on the table.

Just thinking of that stunning beauty’s many shy and bewitching expressions in his arms set his heart ablaze.

But as soon as he leapt up and spun around, a sudden roar erupted behind him. He turned instantly and saw a black monster, four or five meters long, lunging straight at him.
