Volume 1, Chapter 38: Scream Twice as Loud for Me

The colorful phoenix he released was shredded by a dozen sword rings before it could even reach Li Mingxue. Hurriedly, he flicked the Red Phoenix Sword again; a phoenix cry rang out from the blade, transforming into waves of sound.

Someone answered that he was seventeen, and Dong Zhuo paid it no mind. From then on, he grew even more arrogant, styling himself "Shangfu" and usurping the emperor’s ceremonial rites in his movements.

The ship carrying Lu Qi and the others had broken through the first layer of clouds. According to the description given by the burly man earlier, the water column reached a maximum height of five thousand meters. Judging by its current rate of ascent, it would take at least ten more minutes to cover the remaining four thousand meters.

Outside the room, Li Yuyun did not know what was happening inside. She exerted force and slowly pushed the door open.

Upon hearing this, Zidao Wulan was so enraged that his hair stood on end; he wanted to unleash his melting power and rush over to kill Lu Qi.

Within the imperial palace, Li Er sat in silence. Those around him dared not make a sound, waiting for him to make his final decision.

But before he could utter a second word, he suddenly noticed Yukinoshita Yukino, standing behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, narrowing her beautiful eyes and staring at him with a frigid gaze. Yi Le understood instantly, swallowing the words already on the tip of his tongue with a loud gulp, his expression one of pure agony.

Gazing at the mountain of corpses beside him and the river of blood forming at his feet, Tuoba Lie felt a pang of heartache. These were his White Fox troops, the cornerstone of his quest for supremacy, and now they were destroyed in an instant. The bitterness in his heart was beyond words.

For him, it really was a realization of how difficult the journey had been. But no matter how he thought about it, everything had changed, and reality had become what it was; he only needed to enjoy his life now.

While other honest folk would just find a place to hide, Iris was the restless sort. She asked about everything, her curiosity boundless; she wanted to touch anything she saw and insisted on trying every locked door she encountered.

Jin Buduo could not keep up with Baili Sa’s train of thought, his mind tangled with how to say something that might make the person stay.

Shen Qingyi gave a cold laugh. Although he was accustomed to wearing a smile, his expression was entirely different when he was angry compared to when he was calm.

Lin Wanwan looked up at Zhou Jin, knowing he was full of questions. Zhou Jin had never asked about any of the things that had happened, waiting instead for her to speak of them herself.

Mother Han fished the noodles out and placed them in cold water to cool quickly, then blanched the bean sprouts in the pot before draining them. Cold noodles and mung bean soup for dinner—Han Nuo’s favorite.

No one cared about Xun Mi’s mood; those below were stunned into silence, their minds filled with rows of question marks.

"Mom, Dad, have you had breakfast?" Han Shenyan asked as the car pulled slowly out of the parking lot.

A-Re looked at the back of the Prince Zhi and immediately ordered his attendants: "From today on, the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Prince must have their three daily meals tested for poison before they are served!" The Eldest Brother’s murderous intent was so heavy; it was best to be cautious.

"Oh..." Yang Peijun immediately looked at Mu Cheng with envy before walking backward out of the classroom.

He pretended to be kind and benevolent while asking for my opinion on Qianqian. If I said I liked her, he would surely chop my head off and kick it around like a ball.

She did not know why she had refused, as doing so would have given her greater strength and allowed her to better combat criminals.

Recalling their first meeting in Italy, An Yang’s body trembled involuntarily at the thought of Luo Cuilian.

Unlike the quiet typical of Japanese households, there was no custom of silence during meals at Rito’s home. Everyone liked to chat, and with classes cancelled due to the typhoon, everyone was at leisure and not as busy as usual.

The specks of silver light were almost imperceptible. Just as they were about to break through the encirclement of the two, Meng Youxuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his body uncontrollably dropped to one knee.

To Sun Dian’s surprise, Huang Yueying suddenly burst into laughter, and even the faces of Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Zhao Yun showed smiles. That expression made Sun Dian feel as if he were the only fool in the room.

Lin Qingxuan had been working in the Southwest for two years; what hardships hadn’t she endured, and what sights hadn’t she seen? She was unfazed by these two-faced men who weren't really men at all.

"That’s great!" Chen Hao’s tone was filled with excitement. As long as Lin Feng participated in the recording, the ratings for "Running Man" would be guaranteed.

"Oh, forget it, it’s too late now. I’ll let you know the time next time." Sister Li sounded quite displeased, reminding me to be punctual next time before hanging up.

"This is just a branch of the Earth Lung Fire. With Brother Qi’s physical body, he has nothing to fear from this power. We just need to wait quietly." The three sat cross-legged at the passage entrance to begin meditating and restoring their strength.

The chat was filled with hidden barbs. Chen Zairong nodded with a smile, thinking that given Chen Wanrong’s quick wit, Huang Boming was no match for him and would certainly let it slip.

Phil was also quite helpless. Although the Poisonous Abyss looked formidable, it was nothing to experts above level 120. However, most people in the camp were ordinary, powerless individuals, and protecting so many people within the toxic mist simultaneously required the power of barrier stones.
