Chapter 22: What Have You Gained?

Fu Wei’s words, however, took Fu Jiang by surprise. He had not expected his grandson to possess such sharp insight and unique perspectives; it seemed he had truly underestimated him.

Memories flashed before their eyes as the four grandfathers stared unblinkingly at the holographic image of Aurelia, overcome with emotion.

Those men dragged Zhou Guangtian back to their casino, where they continued to pummel him, beating him until he cried out for his parents.

Despite their different attire—one in sportswear and the other in the uniform of Otonokizaka—they were the same two people.

The clean, decisive strike he had imagined did not occur. Xue Ning clearly felt that the moment his bronze steel sword touched the super blood corpse's surface, the blade's formidable cutting force was dissipated and dissolved by a mysterious power enveloping the creature.

Then, Han Yi saw Xue Ning shift his target. No longer focused on the puppet cultists, he darted off, racing at full speed in a different direction.

Moreover, if Ayase discovered that he frequently visited Kousaka Kirino’s room, the consequences would surely be dire.

The two walked along a road shrouded in shifting black mist. The scenery on both sides constantly transformed, reminding Guo Dalu of a pirate ship ride at an amusement park back in the mortal world, though the scenes before them were far more vivid and realistic.

Violet Flower: "No need for formalities, teacher; this is our duty." She sent a smiley face emoji.

"I’ve held her. She looks just like you, very beautiful." Ling Mo let her hold his hand while his other hand helped the nurse push her back to the ward.

"What exactly happened to me and Xue Meng at the Ink-Driving Pavilion?" Xiling Jing gently stroked its chin as he asked curiously.

Furthermore, Luo Feng had no powerful faction backing him; he could only rely on himself.

Su Junxiao was at a loss, completely unaware of what to do, when her phone rang. The ringtone pulled her drifting thoughts back to reality.

Eleven felt that because of her own situation—because she could not conceive—she would never be able to be a mother like a normal person again.

All the Void Monarchs felt a jolt of alarm, immediately surrounding Guang Jing with anxious concern. Amidst such violent coughing, light-colored foam bubbled from Guang Jing’s mouth.

This is what they call "those who commit many injustices are doomed to self-destruct!" An Youran crossed her arms, watching the red-clad youth’s miserable state with a radiant expression.

Seeing the youth remain silent, his gaze deeper than that of any ordinary boy, Ruan Pei felt his own agitated heart calmed by the boy’s stillness. He let out a soft sigh, unable to fathom what kind of past the youth might have.

For some reason, Qianqian felt deeply moved, reminded of the mother who had heartlessly abandoned her all those years ago. If she were to see her now, would she be as carefree and detached as she claimed, and would she be able to forgive her?

Although nothing particularly exciting had happened between them today, every single thing he did moved her deeply. Ning Yuanlan felt completely satisfied, as if she had nothing left to ask for in this life.

Chen Tianhao’s face was ashen. He remained silent, his eyes flickering as he contemplated his next move.

I nodded. It seemed his father was determined to give me the inner core of the giant python, but for what reason?

"I truly didn't expect that even you would have a day where you stumbled," Zhetian said without the slightest hesitation. This was something he had seen with his own eyes; as far as Han Shuci was concerned, there was no one they liked.

Ning Zi'an hurriedly followed suit. Once his body warmed up, Su Yun finally lay comfortably against his chest and closed her eyes.

Other students stepped up, offering to spar with Connie. When Connie said she was tired and would practice tomorrow, those students were visibly disappointed.

Our purpose in coming here is to solve the problems of the Underworld, not to discuss why it is so fixated on my chaotic soul, nor the issue of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. We must return to the main point.

"Let’s go, sister, let’s go down together." Zhou Jiayun pretended not to hear Shen Yating’s words and, linking her arm with Shen Guanguan’s, headed downstairs. No matter how reluctant she was, Shen Yating had no choice but to follow obediently behind Shen Guanguan and Zhou Jiayun.

All public opinion was leaning toward condemning the Mo Corporation, questioning and reviling the actions of its CEO, Mo Junye.

As for Malaga, their luck seemed decent, as they were facing the dark-horse team, Eindhoven. Currently, Qu Bo and Sun Xiang were still honing their skills at Eindhoven; their meeting with Lin Lian would undoubtedly be a Chinese derby.

"But I cannot let the Sacred Relic remain lost, so I fled from Nancy City, hoping to rely on Red Cedar Town... I never expected to find you here, Your Grace. It is truly wonderful... It must be the guidance of the Prophet..." Mary, eyes filled with tears, looked up at Yikui with relief.

As soon as Liu Chang said this, everyone in the office burst into laughter again, unable to hide their sighs.

Mu Xia continued to charge forward as the faint, flickering soul of Mo Sang was being pulled into a storm.

"What is so good about it? Do you know how difficult it is to go and demand an imperial decree from Feng Jingcheng now?" Shen Huan asked in confusion.

Although Shen Huan’s actions over the past month had been earth-shattering, he himself remained conventional and had not acted out of line. She also believed that Shen Huan was not a promiscuous man; otherwise, the Qifeng Pavilion alone would have been enough to make him hopelessly ensnared.

In the summer, Lin Lian had participated in the World Youth Championship in Argentina and even won the title! On the flight back, he was the only passenger, allowing him to lie down and rest comfortably, which greatly reduced the fatigue of his travels.

Hoyer raised his sword to parry, while Jiliya’s other four arms fiercely swung their weapons at Hoyer’s body. Just as the four arms danced in mid-air, they struck a layer of faint silver light and could advance no further.

After finishing the newly received intelligence, Wei Qing felt a sense of bitterness, harboring a sliver of anxiety about the future.

The Feng Yongsi before him had clearly conducted an extremely detailed study of his personality and conduct, knowing that he was, in fact, a kind person.

Jiang Lan also felt the man danced well, but she had little silver and still had to pay the bill later. Not knowing the cost of things here, she thought it best not to touch her silver.

Even so, Nezha’s words provided Jiang Chen with a better breakthrough. Thus, following Nezha’s lead, he continued to speak under the guise of Ye Hao.

It is said that one should learn the enemy's strengths to defeat them. In the battles against the frontier tribes, using the Southern Xiongnu volunteers conscripted by his command to exhaust the potential of the Tuoba tribe was exactly what Lu Bu had in mind.

Feng Xiao did not wake them and continued his watch. Looking at these people he had known for less than half a month since arriving at Xingli, he fell into deep thought.
