29. “How Arrogant.”

Lin Zhao placed another bowl of water beside Big Yellow. At the sight of it, Big Yellow paused its meal, rubbed its great head against her leg, and sniffed her scent. The emotion in its eyes was enough to bring a sting to anyone’s nose.

It resumed eating, its tail wagging furiously.

“Big Cub, where did you find Big Yellow?”

The eldest son squatted there, watching Big Yellow eat. Hearing his mother, he looked up and said, “Right outside the door. It was hiding behind a tree.”

At the mention of the tree, Lin Zhao realized where it was.

Not long after Baldy Second Brother was sent to the detention center, he suddenly died. The manner of his death was exceptionally strange. Apart from both hands, which Mao Yue had broken, there were no new wounds anywhere on his body.

Unlike the original story, in which one had to undergo a long period of cultivation after gaining enlightenment before becoming familiar with the use of the power, Luo Chen had already been able to wield this new force almost from the very moment he awakened.

Because Yun Qian was with them, they had managed to capture Damu, the leader, in one decisive move. The remaining Waci people had no choice but to surrender.

Inside the afternoon tea café, all four of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts. Other than Xie Tian’ai, neither Kong Ruqiu, Nangong Wei, nor Tang Baihe had the slightest mood to savor their tea.

Only then did Mao Yue remember the post she had made to her circle of friends in the middle of the night. She could not help feeling touched. She knew how busy this man’s work was, yet even under such circumstances, he still made a point of checking her posts every day.

Unfortunately, the demon ape had smashed its head to pieces. Brain matter, blood, intestines, fragments of shell, and other things had all been mixed together, leaving no appetite at all at first glance. Wang Hao therefore abandoned it without hesitation.

“Wait, my lord. There is still one more thing he can offer you!” Justin said with a lecherous grin.

It was not until near dusk the following day that Madam Sun’s carriage finally stopped outside the relay station.

Moreover, even after the Human King charged into the curtain of rain over the sea and disappeared from sight, he did not leave behind a single threatening word.

But after suffering that loss, it guarded its eyes extremely well. Since the ballista was temporarily unable to lock onto it, Wang Hao honestly had no idea how to keep it there.

Zeng Kai had endured more than enough shocks over the past two days. Upon hearing this, he merely gave a dull acknowledgment, without showing the slightest surprise.

None of that mattered. What mattered was that the fellow surnamed Ding had never even asked for my opinion. Did I ever agree to participate in the competition?

Lingxin was utterly astonished. For two such extraordinary divine beasts to appear at the same time was truly astonishing.

Thinking of this, Gouzi could not spare a thought for anything else. He hurriedly pressed the elevator on the opposite side, and the moment its doors opened, he slipped inside. In the meantime, he frantically pulled out his phone and dialed Jiang Rui’s number.

Using the ring of steel framing around the trigger as a shoulder strap, Chu Yu slung the massive cannon over her back. When she reached the place Ye Wu had indicated, she crouched down and examined it carefully. Sure enough, she found several unusual things nearby.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Li Hai decided they should withdraw. Zhu Guiying had just invited him to her home, so he could use that as an excuse to tide them over for the moment.

Zhang Qingzhi secretly clenched her teeth. “Fine. Fine. Fine. I may not have the right to meddle in the affairs of the old shop, but I would like to ask my cousin why she is allowed to.” She raised a finger and pointed at Ye Ziling.

In truth, Lingxin had not examined Chi Lan’s soul memories. Although his spiritual sense had entered her sea of consciousness, he had done nothing there. He had merely been testing her. Judging from Chi Lan’s reaction, Lingxin could already be certain that everything she had said was true and that she had not deceived him.

They had even openly declared that the two of them had nothing better to do, were bored out of their minds, and had brought the beating upon themselves. It was no fault of his.

Bai Yanze’s words struck the crowd like a thunderclap from a clear sky. In an instant, everyone’s gaze focused on her.

In the brief span of fifteen or sixteen minutes, an entire song had been composed—complete with the full score, all the lyrics, and even the harmonies.
