154. Affection and Strategy

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone did not even dare to breathe heavily, pricking up their ears instead.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Ran did not rush to settle accounts with Huo Siping. Instead, he picked up Chen Xiaohu, placed him in the car, and gently brushed the dust off his body.

"How can this be... How on earth did this thing end up in Mephistopheles's hands?" Dabai and the other two asked in confusion.

"Huh?" Ye Zihan looked up in surprise, but before she could speak, her lips were sealed by something warm and moist.

Through his research and comparison, he discovered that the zoos in the two worlds were completely different, and most of the exhibits were not even compatible.

Following the painted screen, Chi Mingzhou found those dirty rags, picked them up with two fingers, threw them into the designated waste basket, and then went to draw well water to wash his hands.

With no other choice, he wanted to lie flat in the zoo until retirement, but the administrator wanted him to retire right now... It seemed he still needed to keep some fallback plans for himself.

"No need, I already ate when I picked you up. By the way, I'll have someone from the beauty parlor come over later to give you a facial mask." Huo Lingfeng could only pull back his hand dejectedly and said.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Chen Jianghe felt. Too lazy to go to his eldest brother's house and listen to his nagging, he walked out to the courtyard and unleashed a series of Chen family boxing moves on the sandbag.

Chiying looked at Rong Yu with some hesitation. Wasn't it rumored that His Majesty had gone mad? Why was he still considering these things?

Zhong Chengjun got up and sat beside Wang Li. Seeing her "So you've come too" look, his imposing manner was instantly defused by more than half.

Endless peach-pink clouds and mist poured out from within her body, instantly transforming into a forest of peach blossoms. The blossoms fluttered, crystal clear, with sparkling dew on every single petal, making them look as if they were real.

"Indeed, what a coincidence, someone has lost their spirit stone pouch yet again. This commander is acting under the City Lord's strict orders to investigate this matter thoroughly. Master Gu, you wouldn't stand in my way, would you?" Lin Maochuan wore an extremely smug expression.

"Elder Qianyu of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, since you have graced our Blazing Fire Guild with your presence, we have already reported it to the Guild Master." A peak Heaven-Realm artifact refiner came out to host them personally.

Xu Dong's ship didn't dare to approach upon seeing such a large fleet, but after spotting the Prince of Yong's banner, they drew closer.

"If you want to go ask, just follow me," Su Luanzi smiled, her cheeks blooming like flowers. As she walked forward, her waist swayed with a softness akin to willow branches caressed by the breeze.

However, as they stepped out of the alley, they were shocked once more. The ground of what was originally just an abandoned street had now been stained blood-red, and they could even clearly smell the fishy scent of fresh blood in the air.

"Half an incense stick of time. Half an incense stick. I don't know if I can find Inspector Xueye within half an incense stick of time," I muttered to myself.

Since Lang Yu dared to enter the Cyan-Bird Palace, he naturally had made preparations long ago. This was his ultimate trump card... the Phantom Heart Technique. Immobilizing more than thirty people with a single thought taxed even his spiritual sense to the extreme, causing his vision to go black and a mouthful of purple blood to surge up his throat.

Ao ? was positioned too close in order to restrict the Gospel Emperor. The moment he transformed into his dragon form and attempted to flee, his retreat was blocked by an invisible barrier.

With a loud clang, the terrifying fatal blow from Li Feng was firmly parry-blocked by the golden statue's sword, and in that exact instant, Saber had already moved with perfect synergy to slash towards the golden statue's waist.

I decided to sneak in at night again; security would be more lax then, making it easier to succeed. It was growing dark, and I wanted to find something to eat, but not a single house was in sight. The items I had bought earlier and put in my backpack had been blown away to goodness knows where by Daoist Master Dugu's breath just now.

When she grows up, she'll look for a tall, rich, muscular, and handsome man? Great! What a wonderful ideal and lofty ambition! As expected of my sister! ... But wait, what did she mean by leaving him to me?

"Then why should I leave? Why, why, why? Because you're too handsome, and you have both money and power. Mommy says tall, rich, and handsome men are unreliable, and it's better to rely on oneself. So I plan to go out and experience the world. The outside air is good."

Yun Yang carefully examined this spiritual imprint wrapped within the flames of the soul, discovering that this thing was much more powerful than the ones he had sensed in his previous life, and its shape was far more complex. "Could it have mutated?" Yun Yang wondered suspiciously.

"Since Yiye-kun says so, I suppose these Chinese people probably still have some real skills... Yeko, say no more." Hattori clearly realized this as well and hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

Second Brother, Third Brother will soon return to Xuanyin with the love of his life, and I shall also return to the country. I hope Second Brother will make ample preparations.

However, figuring out how to teach them a lesson was the issue. She didn't want to kill anyone; at most, she just wanted to make them experience the pain her father had suffered. Without Jiuxiao providing treatment, injuries like those would basically mean lifelong disability, which could also be considered doing the village a favor by eliminating a menace.

"I won't keep you waiting long." Jiuxiao chuckled as she cupped her hands toward the brothers, then anxiously chased after Chu Qingting.

After that, we rested at the old man's place for another night and set off again the next morning.

Su Xiaoxiao was full of regret. Wasn't she just walking right into the tiger's den and asking for punishment? Why had her hands been so itchy as to show Xuanyuan Mo?

Lin Guang kept winking at Ye Ningxin, but she acted as though she couldn't see them. He had no choice but to figure out a way to drag Ye Ningxin into the mess himself.

So many accidents happen in the world every day, but who knows which one fate will finally show mercy to?

Early the next morning, when Jiang Sang got out of bed, her legs were still trembling when they touched the floor. Holding onto the handrail, she stumbled step by step down the stairs with great difficulty.

Shen Tianjiao sat by the campfire Gong Zhansheng had made, though her attention had clearly been fixed on Lu Siyan by the river all along.

Each person only needed a climbing rope, and the objective was to snatch a tree branch tied with a hair tie. Whoever grabbed that branch first and returned to the starting point would win.

She had thought Feng was lying to her, but not only was he telling the truth, their Princess Consort was even more beautiful than Feng had described.

When we arrived, a coffin happened to be floating inside. This coffin was also pitch-black, marked with white patterns, and those patterns were precisely netherworld talisman scripts.

It was just that Liang Kuan, this fellow, didn't know whether his nature was too lively, as he strongly resisted arduous martial arts training, resulting in extremely slow progress in his strength.

After buying a pile of things at a barbecue shop inside the park, the group found a spot and prepared for a feast. At this point, everyone was busy—some enthusiastically igniting the charcoal, while others started threading meat onto bamboo skewers. The entire scene was exceptionally lively.
