Chapter 61

"My parents want to see you." Wang Xuan forced out these words after being stared at by Li Yuan for a long time, finally feeling too embarrassed to hold out any longer.

Zheng Chen could feel his right hand being summoned by the two bluestone rocks, seized by an urge to place his palm directly upon them. Resisting the impulse with all his might, Zheng Chen kept his hands clasped behind his back.

On one hand, he wanted to know more about Jiang Qi, but on the other, he wondered whether she could bear the weight of Jiang Qi's past hardships.

Su Mi locked the courtyard gate and prepared to go wash her jacket down by the river. The well water was already half gone today; if they continued to use it, Old Zhao the Third would have to go out and fetch water tomorrow for his tofu grinding.

Star cards below Tier 3 were basically pure energy cards, meaning the energy projectiles they fired possessed no elemental attributes whatsoever.

Boom, boom, boom! Slashing dozens of blows in one go, shattering two concrete walls over a meter thick in succession, even with Li Yuan's profound internal energy, he could not help but pant heavily.

With an egg-laying scale like this, the scorpion swarm must number at least two thousand. To say nothing of killing two thousand Six-Footed Scorpions, escaping alive would already be considered a stroke of immense fortune.

Wang Ming held nothing back, swinging his massively enlarged Qilin arm to collide with the beak of the Crimson Cloud Eagle King. A thunderous explosion echoed through the air, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions.

Lasting for a brief five seconds, the fire snake and the ceaselessly flying water arrows from the sky clashed against one another, turning into steam that dissipated into the air.

"I really don't know him. Could it be a case of mistaken identity? Maybe the person he's looking for is another Zhao Yun," Zhao Yun said with a frown.

"Gosh, why is it so slow?" Seeing the data crawling upward, Li Chuan felt an urge to collapse. Did he really have to hang here like a bat for the entire night?

Three days later, Takeda Katsuyori returned to Kai, whereupon he initiated further diplomatic maneuvers. In the eyes of others, he appeared as cowardly as someone who realized it was simply impossible to resist the Oda clan relying on the Takeda clan alone.

Naturally, such a "backdoor" would never be admitted to nor made public. Since no one could discover it anyway, finding evidence would require dismantling the device, and doing so would only yield a mess of water, carbon dioxide, or their allotropes, making it completely impossible to resolve.

This was a delightful misunderstanding, and if one were to put themselves in the other person's shoes, such an association was indeed quite easy to make.

Despite his efforts, his legs were already submerged in the liquid. Long Shan screamed with a hideous expression, yet in order to cling to life, he kept crawling forward with both hands, even as his legs had already been reduced to bare bones.

Naturally, Li Zisheng was even less aware of the situation, yet he managed to capture a crucial piece of information: the capabilities of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion far exceeded his imagination. First and foremost were its directives; even a sage capable of summoning all the great Confucian scholars of the realm believed in them implicitly. Such a thing was nothing short of terrifying.

IDEQD froze. A pop-up window appeared on the screen, and the next moment, wild with joy, he leapt straight up from his stool.

After Millyria finished speaking, the screen switched to Sai, who was in charge of electronic warfare.

Following that, another glass filled with sweet juice was handed over. This time, Inu picked up the cup with her hand and drank it down in large gulps.

Zhao Yiyan continued, "The old lady is very fond of this child, and loves being addressed that way by him. To me, it almost seems a bit... bewitched."

Landing on each of the bronze figures, the force was greatly diminished. For a moment, Chen Meng was utterly unable to push back even the slightest bit against these seven bronze figures, let alone knock them out of the arena.

They often sought out deeply sleeping victims, flying directly to land upon them—though more frequently landing right beside them and then quietly crawling over onto the victim's body to avoid detection.

Moreover, Chen Meng was dressed like a student. If they tried to walk through the main entrance, the security guards would undoubtedly stop them.

In other words, Su Yang had calculated everything right from the beginning, including why he didn't run, why he used mandura tree thorns, and why he used the lion lock.

For these ordinary folk, casually chatting about the unofficial histories of wealthy officials and noble houses was a great source of joy, and a way to relax their minds.

Now, his plan was to first establish a stable environment within the jungle, and then watch the fire from the other side of the river, letting those underground fighters tear each other apart so that Chen Huang could ultimately reap the spoils as the fisherman.

Luo Heng extended his index finger and pressed it against Jiang Bai's lips, cutting off her question right in her throat.

The dozen or so green-named onlookers unceremoniously looted the loose silver and goods dropped by those who had died.

"Go check that restaurant and see if anyone is there," Jiang Jiuyue pointed to a shop not far away. A carriage driver stepped over a body lying horizontally on the ground and went to knock on the restaurant's door.

Furthermore, this Ouyang Tiangong was truly worthy of being a god-level alchemist, demonstrating these techniques with such vivid detail.

No matter what, this was the hard-earned money of someone's child, and it was unlikely to have been maliciously withheld, but there was no guarantee that some workers hadn't put in enough effort, resulting in the money being spent without the road being properly repaired.

In Long Rusuo's view, religions were exempt from taxation due to agreements with the aristocratic class. If religion expanded too aggressively, it would prove detrimental to the development of City Number Nine. Therefore, strict restrictions were imposed on religion, requiring all church buildings to be relocated to this designated area, failing which the structures would be demolished.

Zhu Muchen was completely normal today, which made Nurse Su immensely happy. She felt that Zhu Muchen's condition must have improved, and hoped that accompanying him for more walks to lift his spirits might cure his mental ailment once and for all.

"Don't even think about making her come find me to go back like you did last time. My mind is made up this time; I'm staying right here in the country. Even if you wash your hands of me, I'm simply not going back!" Jiang Yin said with resolute firmness on the other end.

Ye Xin's expression shifted slightly. Making sure that at five-something in the morning there were truly no vehicles before or behind them, he used the back of his right hand to gently touch Zhang Ruoyu's forehead.

She had never bought such things herself, so she had no choice but to borrow them. Throughout the entire dormitory, the only person whose height matched hers was Liu Yangyang.

Ludmila's expression suddenly turned a trace of astonishment, as she watched Elsa, enveloped entirely by the lightning sphere, remain completely unharmed, the smile on her face unfaded.

It turned out that a stone slab had fallen from somewhere above the tunnel entrance where everyone had initially entered, blocking their route back out.

Naturally, it wouldn't happen the way Olman Luolin imagined—convening a lecture immediately upon gathering resources. Before the next lecture, a certain period of settling and accumulation was still required to temper everyone's state of mind and willpower.
