Chapter 31: An Unexpected Incident in the Departure Lounge

The soul of Zhang Zhiyuan had been sealed within her physical body, and it was only when I severed her head that her soul was finally set free. I had originally collected her soul with the intention of finding an opportunity to help her move on, never expecting it would come in handy now.

“Father… I am in such pain…” came Zhang Zhiyuan’s plaintive, lingering wail.

“But this mountain is so remote, surely Lord Li, you could show some leniency, just turn a blind eye!” Wan Ying pleaded, hoping for mercy.

“My behavior was rude just now. I’ll undo your pressure point right away.” As she spoke, Yu Yan reached out and tapped a spot; instantly, Ruoyan’s body flooded with numbness and weakness. Coupled with the harsh weather, she was already frozen to the point of turning purple, and she collapsed backward.

No one could have anticipated that the Ze Lu Gangtia army on the eastern front would be defeated in such a seemingly effortless fashion.

Suddenly, Fina cried out loudly and leapt from Richard’s rear flank, opening her umbrella to shield him.

The hunched figures ahead were none other than her own parents and fellow villagers, all those whose deaths had been confirmed.

There, neatly arranged in several rows, were dragon eggs. What startled Chu Yun was that each egg bore a crack, but upon closer inspection, there was neither egg white nor yolk inside.

Yu Yan smiled faintly without replying. Fang Yu fetched a garment from the carriage and gently draped it over his wife, then warmed her frostbitten, reddened cheeks with his hands.

The president, not old yet, had not slept for three days and nights. Now he sat in his office chair, elbows on his desk, holding his forehead in exhaustion.

“Damn it! Is this what you call taking care of me for a lifetime? And you’re already starting to cheat?” Lin Chen muttered in frustration, curling his lips.

“I am not your servant. No one can command me so.” Suddenly, a tempest rose around Orakir.

Never in their lives had they breathed air so thick with the scent of blood, nor seen plains stained crimson, nor mountains of corpses piled so high.

The two guards behind her had never seen such a gigantic snake and couldn’t help approaching in curiosity.

Luo Birong, however, merely grumbled to herself before turning her attention to the task of feeding five thousand people. Buying supplies directly from the Kingdom of Dominia was feasible, but with the personnel required for future island construction, it would be a troublesome endeavor.

After speaking with Empress Dowager Xiaoduan for a while longer, she took her leave with Xueyuan, going off to prepare their belongings.

From within those twin pupils seemed to emerge an inexhaustible “super energy”—the kind of force capable of resurrecting the dead, which Xia Fan could typically employ only once per day.

As the crimson light flared, it unleashed a sinister, magical power. The aura surrounding that figure began to dissipate, while Yan Shiba’s cultivation rose from the early to the mid stage of Foundation Establishment.

“I am quite surprised to see you here. Has the ranking tournament of Wulan Domain concluded?” Long Yunfei turned back, smiling as he addressed Long Ying.

Yan Chou’s face darkened, spiritual energy surging forth, and his long blade was soon enveloped by a pale blue power, as fluid as river water, as potent as the core of an atom.

Jing Xuan feigned alarm, her mouth open wide. “Do we really have to be so cruel?” Her voice was soft and full of terror.

Blue Star’s lips curled into a wicked grin as she snapped her fingers, then hurried off to locate her hidden camera, connecting it to the computer in her bedroom.

Ye Youran had already said she would not interfere with Qin Chen’s life; their marriage was one of business, and she held no affection for him.

Tang Guo glanced at Shi Ming, understanding he was serious. She didn’t agree immediately, instead turning to look at Bai He.

“Does anyone else have objections?” She turned to the advertising and mineral water company representatives. If they dared to nitpick about a face like this, she would not hesitate to hurl her script right at them.
