Volume 1, Chapter 33: Mission Accomplished

"Bang!"

Shi Bugu had no evidence. He had come here only because someone had sent him a message saying that Elder Yi had invited him to attend his birthday banquet today. Not wishing to slight the elder, he had come.

Invisible currents of energy swirled and spiraled around him, converging into his right hand.

With a special environment like this, which functioned essentially as a cheat code, even someone of mediocre talent could surely rise to prominence through diligent practice.

His gaze held profound meaning, as if he were gauging Ding Huo’s depth, yet it also carried the air of one who finds invincibility lonely.

Tang Xiao’s eyes softened. Having snatched the Sun and Moon Lingzhi in front of everyone, this fellow must have had a difficult time lately.

After a long while, unable to make sense of it, he simply closed his eyes, deciding that what the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve over.

"The western aspect of any location on a conceptual level? What does that even mean?" the Dead Infant stammered in confusion. This defied logic; theoretically, if an object has something to its east, it must have something to its west. In principle, the concept of an absolute "west" does not exist in this universe.

By turning in a full three hundred thousand in counterfeit currency, along with a large stash of silver dollars and Jin banknotes, the military district found that life in the newly arrived year of 1944 was not quite as tight as before. However, many supplies remained stored in various villages within the Hubei western guerrilla zone and would take some time to transport back.

"Pfft, hahahahaha—" Qin Baisui clutched her stomach, laughing. "Xuejia, you aren't a Fire Spirit Fox; you're more like a Fire Spirit Dog!" She turned and sprinted away, leaving behind peals of laughter in the bamboo grove.

Qin Dabao and Qin Erying had no objections to this. In truth, they were just as anxious; previously, they had been held back by family burdens, but now that those were gone, their thoughts naturally turned toward finding partners.

Bai Muguan felt her legs go weak, unable to support her weight, and she collapsed to her knees. After a night of bitter fighting and a narrow escape from death, was this the nightmare she had returned to?

It was no wonder Zhao Huanhuan was so arrogant. In recent years, Ye Fan truly could not even afford a car; he relied entirely on buses to get around, occasionally riding an electric scooter to work.

Bai Yuexiang stood by, deeply worried. If it wasn't to be found here, then this Blood Celestial Flower was proving far too difficult to locate.

Under the impact of the Spirit Gathering Pill, one-third of the meridians in Qin Baisui’s body had been cleared, but they were coated in blood, the damage quite severe. She could not hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Ling Fengchen and Fang Yan stared with wide, disbelieving eyes. As for Bai Muguan, it felt as though she had been lifted into the air only to be dropped heavily from a great height; she lost consciousness instantly.

Although Dai Duo shouted a warning, he was still a step slower than Fang De. The moment he spoke, the western-style firearm in Fang De’s hand roared. With a "bang," a tongue of flame erupted from the barrel, and he watched as the Daoist Shouque flew backward, his left side drenched in crimson.

Fang De’s gaze grew icy. "Originally, I intended to wipe you out completely, but there is no need for that now. A person like you is nothing but scum; living in this world, you will only bring harm to more good people." He leveled his firearm at Lei Laohu.

Now that she had neither title nor status with him, it was naturally inappropriate for her to enter the palace to visit. She could only hope he would return to the Eastern Palace soon.

This was merely a perfunctory remark. Since the other party had dared to defect, how could they possibly turn back on the strength of a single sentence?
