Chapter 45

At that exact moment, a sudden shudder ran through him, as if the old man sitting on the bed before him was not a human at all, but a terrifying monster.

"Are you playing some kind of international joke on me? Three months?" Xu Yi almost wanted to turn around and leave right then and there; he felt that Sun Cancan was becoming increasingly absurd.

"Zihan, it's not what you think. This whole thing truly was an accident!" Seeing Meng Zihan in such a state, Liu Qing felt a pang of deep heartache and hastily explained.

I walked down the dilapidated streets, through a world shrouded in darkness, faintly hearing the sounds of predators hunting from varying distances.

The young man pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his gentle and lucid eyes half-closed. After giving her a complicated and conflicted look for two full seconds, he let out a grievance-laden, low hum from his nose. Acting just like an angry child, he nudged his stool a little further away from her.

Encircled completely from every side, the enemy troops were thrown into instant chaos. Originally, they weren't very numerous—only about a thousand men in total—so when so many warships suddenly surged out to surround them, how could they possibly avoid panic?

The two codenames he chose actually stood for "Gandalf and Hedwig," belonging to a magical combination series.

The youth gently placed his fingertips upon her wrist, guiding her to touch the cup's surface herself, assuming she was hesitating to drink because she thought it was still too hot.

You must understand that these beast sieges are triggered according to the territory's overall strength and level, acting as a profound tribulation.

The youth obediently let his eyes be covered. Once he realized what specific thing she was referring to, the tips of his ears suddenly turned burning hot. His body stiffened, and his voice dropped low, trembling slightly with awkwardness.

After stepping onto the head of the giant roc, Hua Wenwen directly used a rope to bind its neck securely.

It wasn't until Itadori Yuji had died a dozen or so times that he finally launched a counterattack, using the exact same technique "Slash" to neutralize the opponent's "Slash."

Tang Yuxuan said, "There is no need to be so restrained. We are sisters, not masters and servants. If you need anything in the future, or want anything, just let me or A-Bing know."

Having figured all of this out completely, he no longer wished to waste any more time here and began to slowly ponder over the matter.

A sword array capable of slaying divine-grade entities naturally could not be limited to the kind of power it had displayed initially.

Seeing that Bai was safe and sound, Dongfang Yin Nan finally let out a long breath of relief from the bottom of his heart, feeling exceptionally fortunate.

After escorting Bai Yu to the medical clinic and confirming that he was only heavily injured and his life was not in danger, Xu Ziqian and Ye Yuqing finally began to discuss the incident.

Luo Zhan nodded; this form of address was acceptable. When a new recruit addressed a veteran as a squad leader, it would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Zhang Yang felt a bit guilty. He suspected that if he bluntly said the medicine was given by a classmate, Leng Xiangping might just fling the cup of medicine right into his face.

Even though Xiao Tianqi was heavily intoxicated, he could still listen to Fu Changyao's words. He somewhat aggrievedly sat back down, and catching sight of the steaming hot roasted meat on the tray carried by Da Chai, his saliva immediately began to pour. He had been deprived of good food for far too long these days, and forgetting even to speak, he reached out, grabbed a rib from the tray, and began to devour it voraciously.

As a friend of Feng Wuqing, he didn't seem out of place either; presumably, this person must be a close friend of Lu Qiaoer, right?

"President Qiu, how is the construction of Longxiang Pharmaceutical Company progressing?" As soon as Mu Yue sat down, she directed her question to Qiu Moge.

The very moment his heart was pierced through, another flash of light erupted around the mage, successfully shielding him from fatal calamity. Beads of sweat trickled down his temples as his pale lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.

Yan Nan remained steadfastly by her side throughout, yet to this day he still had no inkling of what had actually transpired. He only heard her say that his eldest brother was in mortal danger and that it was connected to the people around Xu Kun, and naturally, he remained entirely unaware that she was already carrying a child.

A sharp, chilling glint flashed in Long Linyu's eyes, seemingly intending to strike. Yet, in the end, he held back. After all, this was Five Continents City, and the surrounding streets were bustling with pedestrians; he could not be certain whether he could successfully escape the city after making a move.

Xiao Xiao was filled with doubt and apprehension. Xiao Guanlong bore such an uncanny resemblance to Xiao Qinlong that a casual glance would definitely leave one's vision blurred.

The people gathered in this conference room were all young adults in their twenties, brimming with fiery passion and studying computer science. Naturally, they grasped the contents of Mu Yue's proposal thoroughly and found it immensely challenging and exciting.

Lost in a hazy maze of chaotic thoughts, Qin Yibai suddenly felt a wave of irritation wash over him. Just at that moment, the power of nothingness swirling outside his body stirred violently, and within his consciousness, Zhong Sheng's figure silently manifested right before him.

A smile involuntarily surfaced on Xiao Yue's face. Xierqi was no formidable task for him; forging another tall tower anew might pose some difficulty, but helping the Ancient Divine Wood thrive was by no means a hard feat.

In terms of eloquence, Zhang Ruyun certainly could not rival Duan Jingting, and since Duan had struck squarely at Zhang's sore spot, Zhang was initially startled upon hearing the words. Flustered, he hastily lowered his voice and repeatedly conceded, "Brother Duan's reprimand is entirely justified."

Following that, golden light flared once more in its pupils, carving the emblem of a golden dragon onto Zhang Qi's arm.

I did the math; apart from the Immortal Gate Inn and the noodle shop, there are still six other shops operating within Immortal Gate Town.

A green-faced, blood-eyed ghost runner licked its scarlet tongue and spoke, its voice sounding like autumn wind wailing and breaking intermittently through bamboo stalks in a graveyard.

At this very moment, the youth's figure stood like a towering mountain before her, shielding her from the roaring, turbulent waves.

Yang Feng and Han Xin clearly had no desire to escalate the conflict further; their mission was not yet over, and quarreling at this juncture was tantamount to courting death.

Lin Sen kept his eyes fixed on the Siwo floating in mid-air, genuinely experiencing the transition from an illusory concept to a tangible reality, feeling just as thrilled as the first time he held his own child in his arms. "Siwo, would you say its expression is based on logic or emotion?" Chen Zhang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Sen, who was watching with rapt attention.

The Jiedushi, Xibian, Jierlun, Duduh, the Abbot of Golden Roc Temple... all the senior officials of Shunzhou had arrived.

Simultaneously, a pair of stone lions flanked both sides of the main gates; their shapes resembled lions, yet carried distinct differences.

The sole reason Luo Ning had come here was that the only persona he could currently portray convincingly was that of a ninth-grade physician.

She had specifically trained in martial arts, yet physical prowess ultimately paled against such formidable supernatural abilities. Compounded by being locked away for so long, physically and mentally exhausted, her reaction was half a beat too slow. Failing to dodge in time, the fist smashed squarely against the side of her face.

This was only natural; as a neutral faction, the Academy would never resort to such overbearing actions as monopolizing a ruin.

"Never mind, Youyu, make a trip back and deliver the message so her elder sister doesn't worry," Xiaofang said to Youyu, who was perched upon his shoulder.

"Since I cannot accompany the Prince, old Lü has two matters to entrust to the Prince," Lü Piaoyao said with deep concern.
