Chapter 37

Rather, he had come from the capital. The mayor had even attended the opening ceremony of his company, which showed that there was something extraordinary behind him.

Yet he had broken through after absorbing a large fragment of the Laws. That alone was enough to indicate something.

Chen Xiao released his grip on Noah’s forehead and, in a flash, returned to his former position nearby, standing with his hands behind his back.

Although I had comforted Zhou Keji that way, I was also somewhat troubled by the very things they were muttering about. I had no idea what those two mysterious fellows really were.

But now, Gu Zhe’s eyes held the detachment of one who had weathered countless storms, and the profoundness of someone who had witnessed the rise and fall of the world.

In truth, Yang Xuanchen was considering whose poetry to plagiarize so that he could take first place while also winning a beauty’s smile.

Black streams of energy coiled around his body. He looked like a demon emerging from the abyss, surrounded by a terrifying pressure that made one’s heart tremble.

A martial-master-level instructor blocked the way ahead. No matter how unwilling Li Shouzu was, he could only stop. If he continued forward, he would not save his brother—instead, he would be making a pointless sacrifice himself.

At the same time, what was lifted up along with it was the fortune of Huaxia’s information-technology industry for the next ten years.

Everyone believed that the God Luo would lead the people of the Euro Alliance toward prosperity and progress.

The Ghost Shadow had not gone far before collapsing unconscious. The pain in his arm was growing increasingly severe, and he knew that the poison had begun to take effect. If it was not treated in time, he might not make it out of there alive.

Director Han and the others were once again invited into the yurt by Elder Has. He ordered his servants to prepare milk tea, food, and beef and mutton for the soldiers. Before the meal began, Director Han convened a meeting attended by Regiment Commander Yang, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, and the others.

The man calmly produced a folding fan and, in just a few effortless moves, sent the bandits fleeing in disarray.

“Liu Kai, didn’t you say looking at us made you sick? Today, we’ll make you sick for real.”

Fang Jie and the other two rushed at Liu Kai and began tearing into him. His wails soon filled the room.

At the headquarters of the Forty-First Army, located at Rongfa Silk and Satin Shop, someone had asked a member of the merchants’ association to deliver a letter addressed to Commander Sun.

That seemingly casual movement made them feel as though their entire bodies were enveloped by sword points. Their limbs froze as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Long Bing was secretly astonished. Such an imposing presence made one lose before the fight even began.

The cold sweat on Mu Qianxun’s forehead gathered in ever greater amounts, eventually forming droplets that slid down her neck and soaked her collar.

It was not that Nian Yun had never worried. If His Majesty was determined to appoint You’er as Crown Prince, then the matter had to be handled with the utmost caution. After all, becoming the future empress of a nation was no simple affair, and she did not want Luoluo to become an empress either.

“Your level is lower than mine, and I’m an attribute wielder on top of that. How can you possibly fight me?” Salon curled his lips.

Zhan Yan’er’s gaze dimmed slightly. She had not expected Ye Mingming, who was always so agreeable, to have such sharp words. She became even more convinced that Ye Mingming had changed because she had stolen the man she loved. The thought delighted her.

No wonder Ning Yu had smiled so brightly and told her during the meeting that she would definitely be happy once she returned to the office.

Fan Aiai had given him her first time. Ouyang gradually relaxed, and soon the two of them sank into a world of passion, oblivious to everything else.

Once she stepped out of the office, Ye Mingming took a deep breath. She no longer cared what anyone thought of her and went straight to her seat, where she pulled out her phone.

At last, it was time for school to end. The students gradually began to leave. Only Chen Bing shot Tianming a hostile look before departing. Everyone else had already gone, leaving only Murong Yu and Tianming in the classroom.

Listening to the lingering echoes beside her, Duanmu Youning quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The provocation she had just delivered to Dongling Linfeng should have been sufficient, shouldn’t it? Even if it had not driven him mad, it had come close. Thus, no one would believe what he said anymore—not even Dongling Luoxi.

“All right.” Tianming agreed at once. Over the next two days, he truly lived exactly like a sailor. He kept the same hours as the crew and fought the waves alongside them. The sailors treated him like one of their own brothers. There was no estrangement between them at all; they lived and fought together like comrades-in-arms.

In the past, many powerful officials had been taken away by the relevant authorities and then vanished without a trace from the news. Would his father suffer the same fate, never to return?

The plane tickets had already been purchased, and they arrived at the airport at exactly the right time. There were still twenty minutes before takeoff. Mo Ming and Du Dian passed through security and boarded the plane. Not long after Mo Ming took his seat, he heard someone call his name.

But since He Xue had spoken openly in front of everyone, nobody thought too much about it anymore. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see what He Xue was doing.

She assumed that Lu Yuan had come to cause trouble because he had been mocked earlier, so she did not take him seriously at all.

In reality, Qin Qian had simply never seen an alchemist’s license very often. She had presided over the Alchemist Tower for a full century and had long since forgotten what one looked like.

Compared with the Lone Star Accompanied by the Moon that had appeared over Wujiang City the last time, the one now visible over Sky Island seemed brighter and clearer. Moreover, Sky Island’s sky was far more expansive than Wujiang’s, making the pair of celestial bodies seem even more dependent upon and inseparable from each other.

That night, his mind was restless. While acting, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pain clutch at his heart, as though something had been lost forever. He immediately circulated his spiritual power to sense her presence, but he could no longer detect Lu Xiaoxi.

The moment he opened the door with his access card, he saw that the lights inside were off. It seemed as though several people were concealed within.

After explaining the tablecloth’s effects to the elderly men and women, he gave it to them. They promptly forgot all about Chu Ge, snatched up the Magic Gourmet Tablecloth, and played with it to their hearts’ content.

Even though the Ying family had been severely weakened by what happened earlier and was no longer a force to be reckoned with, this illegitimate son—who had once been completely unknown—had become the next generation’s most legitimate heir.

Although he was merely a carriage driver, he was meticulous by nature. After careful consideration, he hurriedly summoned more than a dozen soldiers into the tent before daring to seek out Nong Ge.

A solemn silence hung over the walls of Jiangling City. Gao Jichong stood atop the battlements, gazing toward the Song army’s camp. Just moments earlier, dust had billowed into the sky. There was no need to guess—the Song army’s reinforcements had arrived. Gao Jichong had no idea how many there were. The disparity in military strength was already obvious, so there was only one thing to do: fight to the end.

He had to take a complicated route of action so that his enemies would be unable to predict his movements and create trouble for him.
