Volume 1, Chapter 56: Suisui Has Stopped Breathing

Xu Si did not feel like a good-for-nothing just because she lost a match, nor did she develop any psychological barriers from it.

Gulls cried out in the distance, a sound of calling and laughter, while the waves crashed against the shore with a crisp, pleasing murmur—this was a leisurely and contented life.

Therefore, fueled by the deliberate hype of various marketing accounts, candid photos of her smoking made the trending search list once again.

Would her father, then, act like those characters in television dramas and toss a check at Qin Yang to make him leave?

Seeing Ling Xiao completely ignore her, Nia's heart, which was already half-frozen, now turned thoroughly icy.

Zeng Xinyu came to a sudden realization and hurried off to find the Ouyang sisters. Looking at his usually composed mother acting this way, Sun Qiusheng smiled helplessly at his wife.

Si Chen dismissed the pilot directly and took the helm himself; the boss's business could not be entrusted to outsiders.

The Seventh Prince was running off his feet with exhaustion, the Eighth Prince had accompanied Yue Zhongqi into the military camp, and the Ninth Prince had just welcomed a son—unable to shirk his duties even if he wanted to, he was dispatched to the south to deal with the Nanyang people.

"Why on earth did you provoke it? Since this creature has been slumbering here, it must have its reasons. If you accidentally unleash it, the world will be thrown into absolute chaos!" Chu Nanfeng said with a hint of reproach.

The Daoist priest was not a busybody, and since Zhou Ci did not elaborate, he did not press further, turning his full attention back to the match.

Switching from a single-handed grip to a double-handed hold on his weapon, the floating Verdant Cloud Ghost unleashed his true skills, executing lethal maneuvers with the three-pronged steel trident through techniques such as thrusting, parrying, sweeping, and cleaving.

However, if both sides were evenly matched in strength, that massive bulk would naturally grant you a distinct advantage.

"Just who on earth is Lin Yu?" Lin Changqing asked, suppressing his shock. He had to ask this question; even the people from the Azure Cloud Sect looked upon him with dread—he must have accomplished some earth-shattering deeds in the past.

"Facing someone at the Earth Realm and yet daring to signal for a full-scale attack, she is truly arrogant. Junior Sister Lu, what do you think?" Ren Yuxou asked Lu Lingmeng, but she was destined to be disappointed as Lu Lingmeng completely ignored her.

Luo Shilan was never one to be slick and sociable with everyone, yet she remained universally beloved—such was the ethereal temperament of the orchid.

"Then... teach me what I should do." Unusually, a trace of helplessness crept into Han Yuxi's words.

"Didn't he risk his very life to take you away with him? How could he possibly not want you anymore?" Xue Dongyi asked with piercing accuracy, leaving Xiao Yurou completely stunned.

"Pearl's condition is growing increasingly critical. Who knows if she will ever wake up again after the next time she loses consciousness. I know she has always liked you very much, so Lin Yu... I hope you can spend more time with her during this period. I don't want her to leave with any regrets." Xing'ao pleaded, her eyes brimming with emotional tears.

A gale roared fiercely, and robes fluttered in the wind. Facing the deep, respectful bow of the weathered old man, as the first person spoke, the various figures standing in midair arrayed in robes of diverse colors underwent a sudden and intense transformation in their expressions. In the next instant, nearly all of them cupped their fists and bowed, raising a low, resolute roar that shook the air.

In truth, no one believed that Zeng Zimo would actually resign and leave. Nor did they believe he could bear to let go of the position, given how many people dreamed of attaining the seat of the Chief Elder.

Just as Chen Zhong was about to curse, a ray of holy light descended upon him, instantly filling his health bar to the maximum as Lin Bai's figure materialized beside him.

This remained in doubt, as the other party might simply have been saying that deliberately to prevent him from lodging in a villager's home.

Chen Miao said nothing; they were all sisters whose relationships varied in distance, and since she herself did not care for Chen Mian, the other two sisters were free to interact and get along.

Lin Bai paid no mind to the other system announcements; his eyes remained fixed unblinkingly on the health bar of the Salvis avatar ahead.

"No need, this material is excellent. I like it very much." Chen Mian directly declined the suggestion of the Paradise Servitors, and instead specified the kind of assistance she required from them.

"Old man, you are truly noisy!" Zhang Muzhi walked over to him, tapped a pressure point on Liu Bowen's neck, and Liu Bowen's head drooped as he fell fast asleep.

The deal had not even been concluded yet, and he was already resorting to threats. Did Qi Yue actually think he was easily frightened?

Zhang Bing purposely sought out Aunt Zhang, one of the most gossipy women in the village, and recounted the matter with exaggerated embellishments.

Now that Yun Fanghua had asked her to put herself in another's shoes, she immediately felt a sense of discomfort. Such a person would simply be exhausting to deal with.

Originating from an intelligence background, Heavenly Spider possessed his own unique methods of interrogation, and he firmly believed he would be able to extract the information he wanted from the members of the Bee Organization.

Yet Lord Laozi was, after all, a primordial sage and the leader of the Human Cultivation Sect; how could the thoughts within his mind ever be fathomed by a mere mortal like him?

Meanwhile, Daoist Wang's battle within the ancestral hall had completely riveted everyone's attention, and no one noticed when Jiang Qiu collapsed to the ground. Had it not been for Ah Moon's timely discovery and Jiang Li's prompt recall of her wandering soul, there was no telling what kind of accident might have occurred.

"I... I've got it, I have a way. I need a map—a map of the entire battlefield." Huan Tian, currently dying of embarrassment, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to jog his memory regarding the movie's plot, hoping to use the geographical names on the map to find the corresponding scenes.
