Chapter 036: Burning Soul, Scorching Spirit—An End to Descendants

The manner of death was brutal. At the time, it was a major case in Sichuan, but unfortunately, all evidence indicated that there were no traces of a second person in the factory. The investigation stalled, and in the end, it became a cold case with no leads.

Though Grandfather had some idea who the murderer was, his understanding was vague at best. Even if he shared his clues with the police, they would likely dismiss him as delusional.

...

Old Lady Hei stared at Old Master Huang for a long while, seeing no reaction. Her expression hardened; she took a sharp drag of her cigarette and blew the smoke toward him. The cloud hung thick and unbroken, rolling toward him like a silver ribbon. At that moment, Old Master Huang was half-kneeling on the ground, desperately wanting to escape, but utterly powerless.

This was the dream of defying destiny: to possess a super mecha powered by the third-generation Ark—Pangu, the mythical giant who split heaven and earth. His power was endless, for he himself was the entire world.

Yet she had no idea—what appetite could remain in Lu Tingxuan’s heart? He held the tray of tea snacks, returning to his lodgings in a mechanical daze, like a marionette.

The two sat in silence, time seemingly frozen. After an unknown span, Ayana finally spoke.

While absorbing the soul mist left behind by the Spirit Beast, Ye Feng discovered that, in addition to pure soul energy, the mist was laced with fragments of the beast’s lifelong memories.

“Not on purpose? Just a moment of weakness?” Bai Yi curled her lips, finding those words utterly repulsive.

Fortunately, after the task system was established, Zero often went out day and night to complete missions, and thus had enough coins to move into an apartment the second month. Only then did the habit of saving steamed buns gradually fade.

She glanced at her, Bai Yi’s voice cool. “I think this place is fine.” With that, she ignored her, closed the dust-covered window with a snap, and turned to walk toward Bai Ling.

After a while, he noticed Xiao Yun opening the door just a crack, revealing a fair, delicate arm. She waved him over.

Though we’ve already parted ways, I never imagined those words would come from the person she loved most.

At this moment, Sif’s face was pale as paper; her body weakened, she leaned against Thor, breathing deeply.

Zeng Yong’s face was ashen, his body trembling. His last hundred thousand in chips had all been lost to Chen Huangchao.

Granny Zhao was almost furious to death. She’d wanted to retort, but remembering that today’s main purpose wasn’t to argue, she forced herself to hold her temper and ignored Zhao Yifei.

Li Li sat back on the bed, picked up his phone, and glanced at the screen. It was flooded with notifications—messages from colleagues, classmates, and private messages from online acquaintances.

Su Lili’s gaze fell on his desk, where, under the bright light, a golden bank card lay. So generous?

Zhang Kuang immediately called Wei Zheng and Kong Jie, asking them to help investigate if they knew where Aunt Chen had gone.

Instantly, the morale of human warriors on the battlefield soared, a blazing fire igniting in their chests.

Especially those eyes, so deep they seemed to hold the sun, moon, and stars—a mesmerizing power that was hard to resist.

Just now, Qin Yu had received a call from Ling Dongfang to come to the villa at the top of the resort mountain. He arrived to find Han Qian and Liu Jianhua already there in the hall.

“Passengers might die even if they do nothing, and summoned creatures are sometimes hard to define,” Youyou murmured, as a milky-white glow lit up the bracelet on Shang Ke’s wrist.

In the remote, uninhabited depths of the primeval forest, Du Bixing stood atop an exposed rock, practicing the guiding technique. Through this, his muscles, blood, and meridians were all tempered and strengthened step by step.

After turning off his phone, Xiao Zhu opened the Tranquility Mall and selected an item: a special sonic device.

Moreover, the guards each carried powerful weapons like repeating crossbows, and all the doors and windows at the back had been reinforced and remodeled. At first glance, they looked like ordinary wooden structures, but in reality, they were as solid as houses welded from thick steel plates.
