Chapter 54

Xiao Zhi packed her bundles, entirely dismissive of Pei Changxi’s words; if anyone she, Xiao Zhi, had her eyes on had the ability, let them come and try to snatch him away.

Ji Jiuyue took the initiative to pull Xiao Zhi away, and the surrounding students instantly could not help whispering and gossiping among themselves.

Therefore, the divine abilities of the Dragon race—which had once rendered him invincible and repeatedly achieved miraculous feats—were temporarily shelved by him.

Chen Zhi, the Administrator of Shangdang, had worried throughout the night in his mansion, yet in the end, he still failed to receive any news of the Xiongnu! The turmoil within the city of Zhangzi was basically quelled by the latter half of the night. For the time remaining, Chen Zhi personally patrolled the city, ordering the various generals to strictly guard the four gates.

Luo Tong did not know what those three were like, but at any rate, he disliked such formal rigidity. Art, after all, required a relaxed environment in order for one to cast aside all reservations and speak freely.

The reason they felt secure enough to leave was because they had observed that, due to the spiritual energy barrier of the Heavenly Mystic Wood itself, coupled with the harsh environment along the way, no fierce beasts could possibly approach it.

"Are you kidding me? Can't you just let me get some sleep?" Lu Hao was truly exhausted and desperately wanted to sleep until dawn.

Xiao Ling possessed high skills and was bold of heart, completely ignoring the warnings of others. Accompanied by Yu Feng and Li Yang, she found an entrance and walked right in.

Shui Ling'er had been given an intoxicating potion, loosening her tongue to the point where she confessed everything—both the drugs used and her ultimate objective.

Xiao Zhi let out a low laugh, her voice very soft: "It's yours anyway." She lowered her head and kissed those incessantly chattering lips.

"You have no eyes when walking! Do you know how many tens of thousands of yuan this suit of mine cost?" The middle-aged man could not help but curse angrily.

What kind of person was this Xiong Yu? Why was he so terrifying? The two iron balls in Kang Jingfeng's hands dropped to the ground, rolling all the way to Old Man Gan's feet; his hands were trembling so violently that he could no longer hold onto them.

Standing beside Qin Chuan at this moment, Ye Qiuqi quickly adjusted her internal breathing, circulating her true essence. Exchanging a glance with Qin Chuan, she naturally did not believe that Banyue had intervened out of good intentions.

Tatsumi Saburo smiled evilly, even feeling a hint of anticipation. If the opponent truly proved strong enough, perhaps he could utter a few final words of last testament before drawing his last breath.

"Good, then we shall respectfully accept." Li San was more than eager for this; in such freezing weather, he had zero desire for physical activity.

With that, he thought to himself that if she truly no longer loved him, life would be worse than death; yet if he were to die, she would surely feel guilty. Since both must live on, why force guilt upon her?

Being busybodies, they felt rather thrilled watching the powerhouses engage in a chaotic brawl. Several of them even deliberately chose not to dodge the ensuing shockwaves, just so the people behind them would also get dragged into the fray.

"Ha, what status?" The otaku realized that he seemed to be the only one here who still had no clue what was going on.

"..." Escorted by the government soldiers, Fang Jingfeng felt the blood rush to his head. A sharp pain stabbed at his temples. He pressed a hand against his forehead, turning back to look twice with every step at the disappearing red dot, his eyes filled with vicious malice.

The sun shone brightly, and damp traces still lingered in the crevices of the pebble path. The air after a storm was always exceptionally crisp and pleasant.

"That's right, the professor told me yesterday that he wants me to act as his assistant for a while and join a project for a few days," said Shen Youbai.

Even casual projectiles thrown at random could shatter two military armored vehicles into pieces before causing them to explode.

Seeing Lu Mingfei walk in, Su Xiaoqiang glanced sideways at him, shifting her gaze to signal him to sit down quietly.

Qin Shumao cast a circle around her surroundings, her gaze finally landing on the nearby plumbing pipes, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.

Pulled forward by the force, the venomous snake darted swiftly for a few paces before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Doctor Xiao did not refuse. In the slightly dim corridor, the expression on half of Doctor Xiao's face remained obscured.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Wanlin, who had just finished cautioning them, strode off in the direction where Gu Xingyue had initially departed.

He had assumed that Yan Yeli was merely reading aloud mechanically from a script provided by Shen Youbai, but to his surprise, Yan Yeli had actually prepared quite thoughtfully.

Moving swiftly, he pulled Jiang You down into a seat in the very last row, then pulled down the safety restraint, locking them securely in place.

He still felt deeply depressed as to why he did not possess a spatial dimension. If he only had a spatial dimension, he could provide ingredients for the open-air barbecue, meaning he wouldn't just be freeloading.

Nagato, White Wolf, and Bailing arrived at the Herbal King Tree. This Herbal King Tree was massive, its roots permeating the entire herbal valley. Could these herbs have been cultivated by this very tree? Nagato pondered to himself.

Instantly, a swarm of government soldiers rushed forward—some lunging to drag away the madam and the burly man, others pulling Yun Xiyao out of her cage, and several charging into the various rooms to arrest the courtesans and pimps of the establishment.

"Look at that smug look of yours. What's there to be smug about while being poor? I'll pay you a monthly salary of six hundred spirit coins, so you'd better do your job properly. If you act all frivolous, I won't go easy on you," Ning Zhao said with a smile, patting Yun Yetu on the back.

As for Su Li, since she had been cruel enough to disown him as her brother, what was left for him to feel attached to?

Gazing at his fiancée for a long time, Shang Si's somewhat restless heart gradually calmed down. He offered a gentle smile to Ping Li; Ping Li's gaze flickered, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and she turned and ran back into the main hall.

At the foot of the mountain, there were no waters of alternating warmth and cold, but rather a muddy marshland overgrown with numerous shade-loving plants—for only shade-loving plants could survive in such an environment.
