Chapter 38

Under the sunlight, He Guoqing was competing with his comrades for a battered blue basketball. He wore a slightly worn, close-fitting military-green undershirt, matching trousers, and army shoes. He was dressed no differently from the others, yet he could never fade into the crowd.

He did not know why. Instinct told him only that this man could not be allowed to remain alive—not for another quarter of an hour—and certainly not where he might appear before Luo Fei.

At the time, Mingyue had already suspected that Grand Madam An probably knew something about Huang Hongfei’s origins. As an outsider, however, she naturally could not pry into the matter. Now, after hearing Huang Hongfei’s conjecture and recalling Grand Madam An’s condition then, Mingyue felt more and more that his guess was very likely correct.

When the endlessly charming Wang Manyu returned to the rear courtyard on graceful, lotus-like steps, the panic and pallor she had displayed in the front courtyard had long since vanished. She forced herself to keep smiling, a faint, proper, and reserved smile resting upon her delicate, rosy face as she slowly made her way toward New Rain Court, her residence.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qianlong felt another wave of painful obstruction in his chest. He could neither exhale nor swallow the breath caught there, and the oppression was almost unbearable.

Yet the flicker in her eyes had already made it clear that she was lying. Wei Rong did not expose her; he merely extended a hand toward her.

The He family lived on the first floor. Their home was a simple one-bedroom apartment of less than fifty square meters, divided by a single wall with a doorway cut into it—one room serving as the living room and the other as the bedroom.

Zamio, the leader of the Lilith Realm, had by now made his purpose unmistakably clear and was gradually revealing the extent of their ambitions.

Although Xia Qingfeng still did not understand why Luo Yuechen had suddenly attacked Aimudula, he knew that Luo Yuechen had always acted with restraint. There must therefore be an urgent and legitimate reason for the assault, so he did not intervene.

If something had truly happened to Dongfang Ruoxue, would I really be happy even if I obtained the Vermilion Bird Hooked Jade, even if I became unrivaled throughout the Huaxia server?

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” The soldiers of the Chagatai Kingdom advanced step by step toward Kantal City, shouting at the tops of their lungs.

The impact of this news was so great that the scene fell into a brief silence. Even Ye Ming had nothing to say.

But Liu Han’s words now jolted her awake. She was merely a Martial Disciple, not even at the upper level of that realm. Forget Xiao Yu—even the Seven Stars and Eight Generals, and even Chang Meng of Fallen Horse Stockade, were unfathomably powerful masters in her eyes. Yet in the blink of an eye, Chang Meng had disappeared, the Seven Stars and Eight Generals lay dead or wounded across the ground, and Xiao Yu had fled with injuries.

Zhang Ye was extremely curious about Lin Mu’s cultivation. He knew that Lin Mu was at least an Earth-ranked expert, but he had no idea just how formidable he truly was.

They dug through the area once more, but still found no Profound Stone. Instead, clumps of grass pushed their way up through the soil.

“This is Liang City, not a place where just anyone can run wild!” said the elder in charge of the teleportation array in an icy tone, clearly angered by Lin Mu’s utter lack of courtesy.

After some time, Liu Han slowly fell asleep. Only then did Tianna emerge silently. She told Qingjin, who was playing the qin beneath the eaves, to stop, and ordered Green Bamboo to inform the bathing room to prepare hot water.

After a long while, Nameless seemed to reach an understanding. He had initially intended to summon Jian Chen and send him on a journey through the martial world. But after reconsidering, he realized that Jian Chen’s experience was still shallow, and that his martial arts, state of mind, and sword heart were all lacking. The time was not yet ripe for him to enter the mortal world of martial affairs.

With a furtive glance, Yu Jinxiu took in the monster’s entire condition. Suppressing the urge to vomit rising in her chest, she slowed her steps and retreated backward.

His talent was one factor, and his contribution of the Great Sun Golden Crow Art was another. Most importantly, this was simply the prevailing atmosphere across the Creation Continent. Everyone cared about their own dignity and valued their reputation. The atmosphere of intrigue and rivalry was nowhere near as intense as in the Wilds World or the Eastern Wilds World.

There were actually people in this world so sinister and shameless that they refused to honor their promises and then turned around to blame others. I was so enraged by that White Boot that I nearly lost my mind.

At the thought that Ling Fei’s life or death remained unknown while his elder brother had entered a place fraught with danger, Long Xuan’s expression darkened considerably.

“Xin’er, you climbed into this king’s bed again last night. Tell me—how should this king punish you this time?” The Demon King arched a brow, the corners of his phoenix eyes lifting as well, lending him an intensely dangerous and bewitching allure.

He was the president of the Xingye International Group—and, moreover, a global superstar whose fame had swept across the world, with hundreds of millions of fans.

Qin Chuan said nothing. A faint smile touched the corners of his lips as the Forging God Sword Hammer in his hand moved with violent, powerful fluidity. Every strike seemed to carry the force of a thousand weights.

“Smack!” Seeing that Long Yi was preparing to attack Tang Rou, Tang Chao and Tang Jingyuan simultaneously struck their palms forward, sending their blows directly toward Long Yi.

This man really does think of himself as my real elder brother. Does he intend to meddle in my marriage as well? Is the divine fairy junior sister he found acceptable while the alluring fox I found is not?

“I accept your compensation, but this young master does not like taking losses. Dig out half of your soul-heart and let this young master eat it.”

Su Wan’er’s mind returned from inside the monk’s stomach. She smiled eerily and licked the corner of her mouth, only for several pieces of internal organs to fall out.

“Tch. You truly have a death wish!” Galaxy was also seized by anger. A sinister glint flashed through his eyes as he swung his fist to meet the attack.

Only by entering a place like this could the aura of the Luo Dragon Diagram vanish so completely and so swiftly.

“Master, the young master’s enemy from yesterday has already reached our doorstep. He is probably here to cause trouble!” The guard’s voice was hurried, and a trace of panic showed on his face.

Yet just as he waited excitedly for news of victory, that transparent tentacle finally broke free. No longer restrained by the pillar of electricity, it withdrew, and all the other transparent tentacles contracted back into the starship as well. In an instant, every hatch of the starship slammed shut, and the artificial intelligence once again hid inside its “tortoise shell.”

When everyone finally walked out of the Academy of Death, however, they were met with a scene that filled them all with astonishment and fury.
