Chapter 26: Heartbroken

Before long, Lin Qian retrieved the items Zhao Weimin needed from the cellar. After counting them, he wrapped everything securely inside his heavy military-style overcoat.

"Weimin, why do you need all these?" Although she knew a woman shouldn't pry into such matters, Lin Qian couldn't help but ask. She was simply too curious about what Zhao Weimin spent his days doing.

...

Seeing Ji Ruobing shake her head, Li Zixiao felt a bit disoriented. Could it be that the doctor had cloned her based on Ji Ruobing’s appearance? Mentioning cloning reminded Li Zixiao of Lisaya; it wasn't impossible, given the precedent set by her.

The chaotic cacophony of voices left Yang Chen on the verge of a breakdown. This noise was impossible to resist or block out, as if it were erupting from the very depths of his soul.

There was no road further up. Although Qian Qiyue was unwilling to give up, she slammed on the brakes. In the dark of night, not even the stars were visible, yet the moon shone with an intensity she had never seen before. It really was the suburbs, she mused; even the moon seemed brighter here. Even with the headlights off, one could still see clearly from inside the car.

She seemed to be dreaming of something distressing, as clear tears trickled from the corners of her eyes. Qian Qiyao reached out a hand to wipe them away, but the tears did not stop. She kept crying, and he had no idea why.

Cen Kexin checked the time; it wasn't yet the end of the workday. Leaving early wouldn't look good, and besides, this wasn't how Han Siyou typically operated.

His movements grew increasingly fierce, thrusting heavily into her. Waves of heat surged within Kexin, one after another, higher and higher. She held onto his robust frame tightly until her body completely yielded to him.

Hospitals in big cities were truly something else; not only were there so many doctors and nurses that it was dizzying, but Li Zixiao had spent quite a long time just trying to find the information desk.

It was like having a ticking time bomb hidden by your side; you didn't know where it was or when it might detonate, leaving you perpetually anxious and on edge.

After a world-shaking upheaval, a wave of dizziness washed over them, and pain radiated through every part of their bodies. Even after such a violent collision, Han Siyou remained nearly lucid, letting out a muffled groan.

However, this was no time to let one’s guard down. A hundred-meter-high city wall had been half-breached in the blink of an eye. Thirty meters left, twenty-five meters...

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh with joy. Afterward, he taught Zhu the three secret techniques contained within the Red Dust Arts: Shapeshifting, Breath Concealment, and Bewitchment.

Unless the opponent possessed some kind of ultimate trump card, they had already exhausted their most powerful profound mysteries.

Waving his hand, Tang Ze dismissed the shivering Dark Hunter and returned to his previous state of boredom.

The material transformation of Origin Profound Mysteries seemed to have extraordinary effects on special energy, much like the Dreamlike Nine-Dragon Combo.

Yet, what no one expected was that this was the deep-seated reason for her distancing herself from the group and resisting Fu Hao and the others. Beneath that naturally seductive body of hers, she had been born with the genetic markers for AIDS.

This time, the opponent didn't waste any words and struck immediately. The leading youth leaped high and attacked Yu Chuxuan with a downward kick, while the other two engaged Jiang Yuxuan and his companions.

The title of this song and its lyrics never once mentioned the word "ideal." Instead, it used the seemingly mundane phrase "setting out." Yet, sung in You Zishi’s slightly raspy but clear voice, it moved every listener to their core.

After spewing a burst of flame, the python’s eyes closed in agony, and its body struggled to retreat. Chen Feng didn't pursue it. He paused silently for a moment before suddenly condensing a fireball and hurling it into an inconspicuous corner.

The powerful A.T. Field expanded without resistance; instead, there was a sense of seamless harmony as it flowed continuously into the cylinder.

The activation of the A.T. Field meant that EVA Unit-00 was fully operational, and any would-be intruders would have to face its iron fist. It also signaled the deployment of the base’s final line of defense, ensuring that no further accidents capable of threatening the base’s survival would occur.

In the blink of an eye, two figures moved. Most of the cultivators present failed to perceive it; even Li Tianyou, with his formidable mental strength, only sensed the killing intent at the very last second.

Michelle could tell that Al asked this out of concern, for Michelle was already a spirit; if his spirit form were destroyed, he would truly vanish into nothingness.

His heart trembled. Integrating a beast soul into his palm? But there was no time to dwell on it; his primary goal now was to absorb the spiritual energy from the Attraction Pill to heal his wounds.

Yang Lian’er hadn't forgotten over all these years—the sheer volume of blood and fury, the long-held repression and depth. The corners of her lips curled into a faint, detached smile. She was truly curious to see what would happen next.

Everyone knew a great storm was coming; they all understood it, but seeing Gu Lingge’s calm expression left them with a complex mix of emotions.

The tactics of the Floating Island were also clear. As the protective barrier over Jin'ao Island began to flicker, clearly suffering from insufficient energy output, they slowed their attack. Then, the Floating Island began to stir, moving away toward the distance.

The black-robed elder questioned the young swordsman. Although the distance between Sword Ridge and Heaven’s Might Peak was vast, in their eyes, it felt as close as if they were standing side by side.
