Chapter 101: Let Him Be Haunted by Guilt Forever
"Shen Qian, I've been too tolerant of you these years. What I owed you, I've long since repaid. Besides, didn't we agree long ago?" Nan Jue spoke these words calmly.
The woman shook her head persistently, clutching him tightly and refusing to let go. "No, it's not like that. You promised to be good to me. How can you abandon me? You said you'd take care of me. How can you treat me like this? I just want to stay by your side, that's all I want, just to be with you."
Nan Jue pried her hands away. "I'm tired. Aren't you tired? I don't love you, yet you insist on keeping me around. What's the point? You could live so much better. If you want to travel, you can go wherever you wish. You needn't worry about money anymore. I said I'd treat you well, and I won't—"
Ye Yi, however, reached out and gently patted her shoulder. With just one touch, An Yao regained her composure.
From then on, the world would never see Lord Fan again, and vanished with him were Murong Jinxiu, Han Bing, and Jiang Buwang.
Watching the stranger walk away in the rain, umbrella in hand, Wendy's eyes revealed a hint of something unusual, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip.
Once, he was a revered immortal emperor, adored by humanity, worshipped for generations. Yet in this life, he has become a demon.
Elder Qian could hardly believe what the nurse was telling him, for his anger had clouded his mind, leaving him incapable of thinking calmly.
"Enough, just pack up already. There's so much stuff," Wang Chaoyang shot Lin Xue a glance.
I looked around—the air conditioner wasn't on. The weather in Guangzhou is always stifling. No wonder I felt such heaviness upon entering, a strange sensation. It turned out the windows had been nailed shut.
With a tap of her left index finger, a flash of light shot forth. Yuria's longsword flew out, the force driving it deep into the wall, the blade trembling violently. As for Yuria herself, smoke poured from her body, her clothes reduced to charcoal, lying lifeless on the floor.
Besides, Xiao Yan truly had no interest in such trifles. Naturally, since some belonged to him, he would claim them.
Lei nodded slowly, breaking into a smile. "Ha, are you all alright? No one hurt? How long have I slept? What's our current situation?" He finished, and excitedly punched the burliest among them, Karub, in the shoulder.
"Hey, at least I'm a real man." Liu Muzi couldn't resist, curling his lip. Seizing the moment as the other instructors swapped in, he kicked Ning Chi aside, ready to jump in himself.
"The Tiele people are despicable. Two months ago, they launched a sudden attack without warning. We were caught off guard and lost the capital," Gu Lun said, gritting his teeth at the thought.
But in the next instant, a warmth began coursing through Luo Xia's body. His depleted stamina and vitality recovered at astonishing speed, and even his divine power was mysteriously being restored.
The atmosphere in the arena grew ever more tense. Many navy personnel had sweaty palms, anxiety and doubt gnawing at them, for they had yet to see any sign of the Beast Pirates.
Looking into the tearful, sparkling eyes of Yu Ling, Ji Ning knew she was up to some mischief—clearly intending to finish what was left undone in the morning, whether it meant sleeping in the afternoon or at night mattered little.
Even Tang Jie and others knew nothing of this, so when they heard the news, their hearts had but one reaction: Qin Feng was deliberately slandering.
It's also worth noting that throughout these events, Jiang Tianchen was always on the defensive.
The puppet remained lifelike as ever. Wang Luo took it in his hands and examined it for a moment. Suddenly, it emitted a series of 'ga-ga-ga-ga' sounds, as if laughing.
"Shut up. Didn't I tell you that channeling magical power beyond your own capacity leads to backlash?" Xia questioned.
The elder and the burly man, seeing his actions, roared in fury, their aura surging as they charged at Shen Yi once more.
Otherwise, with only Long Xingyu's face to rely on, Long Xing would never have been hired by any leader. Of course, Long Xingyu has changed his name now—he goes by Long Jian.
