Chapter 57

It is not difficult to understand why Kate was willing to step forward. I believe it was not because he cared nothing for his wife and child, but rather that in such circumstances, every young and ambitious man feels the urge to make something of himself. Hiding at home to take care of a wife and kids would only make him a laughingstock.

"Take all these things away!" Bai Linghuai said with a solemn expression, his demeanor truly resembling that of a clinic doctor, completely devoid of any smile.

He had assumed that Allen had accompanied him to give me "talk therapy," never expecting that Allen himself was also a "patient." This must have displeased him, yet he was a qualified psychological counselor and dutifully completed this "routine task."

Later, Zhang Tingyu discussed it with her parents and decided to take a casual stroll nearby at Songhua Lake. Honestly, in the dead of winter, there wasn't much of interest around City C—either go watch people fish through the ice, or go view the rime ice. But for Zhang Tingyu, where they went didn't matter; what mattered was whom she went with.

Little Kang never expected Guan Yu to care about him so deeply. Still, the two of them shared a bond forged through life and death, so such a reaction was hardly surprising.

The Wrath of Gods and Demons is not actually a spell; much like its name implies, it is a state of being—manifesting as a frenzied, desperate condition, much like a maddened bull that throws caution to the wind.

"Ten thousand times," Bai Linghuai glared at Huang Dali. Judging by his reaction, he completely distrusted Wei Meng, and to distrust Wei Meng meant to distrust her.

"If I hadn't been careless last time, I might just have won that match," the Vice Minister of Rites said, focusing entirely on that afternoon's competition with a hint of lingering reluctance.

"Brother Gu, let's call it a day for now and settle the bill. Take this card to pay first, and I'll wait for you here." With that, Murong Xue produced a black gold card and handed it to Gu Ming.

Yet his words seemed to have no effect whatsoever. Those fleeing disciples of the Guiyuan Sect completely ignored him, clearly showing that Yan Wei did not hold much authority among them.

However, following a deafening crash, an immensely powerful energy immediately surged outward from high above. In particular, the space where their fists collided rippled continuously, even producing audible sonic booms that struck terror into the hearts of onlookers.

Hearing Liunian's words, Liancheng Yanran suddenly found herself at a loss for words, clueless as to how she should respond.

As a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Realm, Lin Tianya naturally understood the vital importance of the Tianmen acupoint, knowing that the slightest carelessness would result in the complete destruction of both his body and soul.

Upon hearing Liunian's words, Liancheng Yanran froze, clearly not expecting him to reject her in such a manner.

At that very moment, Zhuang Yi suddenly remembered the teleportation ability he had learned and, without a second thought, immediately put it into effect.

For some inexplicable reason, Wang Qing was suddenly struck by the realization that Mu Tian was not a person of this world.

"How wonderful it is to be able to die together with Brother Lin!" Wang Jiujiu gazed at Lin Tianyan with infatuated eyes and continued gently.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen merely offered a faint smile, lifting his chin slightly as he completely dismissed the fellows standing before him.

"If the Marquis refuses to agree, I shall not get up!" Mi Zhu turned his face away like a stubborn ox.

Cao Cao knew that Xun You's extraordinary tactical brilliance was more than sufficient to thwart him from offering advice to General-in-General He Jin. Reflecting on how he had gone to such lengths to annihilate Liu Fan, only to have Xun You nip it in the bud today, Cao Cao felt overwhelmed by a mixture of loss and fury.

Yet the moment she raised her head, the smile on her face vanished entirely, replaced once more by that earnest demeanor with which she spoke to Qin Yue from Su Xia's perspective.

Before long, Liu Dan came running back to him eagerly and said, "Everything the elder brother said is true; that City Lord Mulu has indeed confessed. Elder brother, please look—this is the map of Mulu City he drew." With that, Liu Dan pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Liu Fan with both hands.

Zhuang Jian chuckled and remained unconcerned, turning his gaze toward Zhuang Yan, only to find the latter wearing a look of sheer bewilderment.

Qin Yue was momentarily stunned, utterly unable to believe the words that had just entered his ears.

Against Ling Chuetian's assault, Zhuang Jian was utterly helpless. Compared to Ling Chuetian's spiritual consciousness, his own was completely incapable of defense, leaving him at the mercy of that incoming stream of divine light.

The man appeared thoroughly terrified, muttering endless nonsense and paying no attention whatsoever to the investigator's questions.

Throughout these past three years, there was not a single day he had not longed for her. Yet every time he thought of her, his drive grew only stronger, and his yearning—once like a surging river—had now overflowed its banks. He wished for nothing more than to see her this very second.

"Can you take a break, big sister? Those recruits haven't even qualified yet; go train them first!" Revolver said.

"Don't worry. That incident back then was certainly unpleasant for me, but it wasn't as severe as you imagine. I'll help you look into it, I promise," Huang Jun said.

Faced with such a situation, Wuchen pondered for a moment before directly offering the justification he had prepared.

"Ha, let's see who dares to stop me now!" Anna, who had just conceived and whose belly was not yet showing, strolled out of the bedchamber in full adjutant's uniform. Inside lay four or five adjutants who had been knocked completely unconscious.

The room resembled a classroom, featuring a desk and chair for the teacher at the very front, while the students' seats consisted of single beds arranged side-by-side facing the instructor's desk. It seemed that students learning lucid dreaming were expected to attend lectures lying down.
