Chapter 43

As they were speaking, another car horn sounded outside. It was a Volkswagen Passat, a model Li Chen found remarkably familiar.

Inside the bamboo cottage, Yao Qingmu rested her chin in her hands, gazing absentmindedly at the wax tears rolling down a red candle. The persistent fragrance seemed to linger still in the air around her, while two figures of completely different styles gradually overlapped in her mind.

If this were the case, perhaps he would still remember past affections and refrain from being overly cruel to her.

"Hmph, I simply don't believe he's that easy to fool," Susan said. She knew Li Kui's personality very well; if that fellow was serious, there was no way he would give up so easily.

"Am I going to die..." This was Zongyang's final thought before he was plunged into a dazzling glare and lost consciousness.

Deep within my innate pessimism, a heavy, ominous premonition struck me forcefully. Could something have happened to them outside just after they went out? I dared not think any further; my legs turned to jelly, and I nearly tumbled down the staircase.

"If you lose your life, what will you have left to see Miss Luo with?" Yun Qing was so furious he wanted to punch his own master, yet he dared not do so.

As for Zongyang, he had already entered a deep illusion, where the surroundings were completely filled with blood-eyed dark figures, numbering in the tens of thousands. Shortly after, these dark figures transformed into pure white spheres of light that flew toward him.

Who was Yun Tian? He could be called the nightmare of all the citizens of the state of Wei, countless families having been shattered and ruined because of the Yun Family Army.

Yet Susan happened to be someone who loved taking risks, and she never cared to hide her talents. Naturally, she had not anticipated that using this technique would immediately draw the attention of quite a few people, for indeed, very few individuals knew how to use such a trick.

After a month had passed, once Lu Yun had ingested all the precious medicinal herbs, his vital blood finally reached its ultimate peak, filling up every space within his five viscera.

Thus, flying continuously for three days and nights, estimating the distance covered, they must have traveled around twenty-five to twenty-six thousand miles. The activity of exotic beasts displayed on the Eight-Treasure Compass had also noticeably increased.

Mo Wushuang lunged directly toward the blue figure, but to her surprise, the target nimbly dodged out of the way. She then began chanting an incantation, deploying a binding spell.

Liu Yiran, who was walking along and wondering why the system still hadn't assigned him any new tasks, suddenly heard the system's voice once again.

How could these two young men look so much like Old Su's two sons? Their facial features even bore a passing resemblance to old Su himself. Who on earth are they?

The Killing Curse requires intense intent to kill; if that intent is lacking, it is not even as effective as a simple Reducto.

From the very beginning of its establishment, the combat objective of the Green Lamp Tribe was to frontally crush the Cosmic Police, and then pump the Cosmic Guardians full of Green Lamp energy until they puffed up like cream puffs. Therefore, they had never recruited rookies.

After Liu Mi's words were translated and relayed to the others by Makoto Tsunoda, their breathing involuntarily grew ragged.

The infirmary was, of course, a place they could under no circumstances visit. Under the current circumstances with the Dark Lord, he simply could not trust his former subordinate, Severus Snape.

At this moment, Yan Yuntian seemed to have become the master of the battlefield, and everyone trusted him without the slightest reservation.

Coupled with Gu She Baobao's uninhibited personality, they were genuinely afraid that if she grew displeased, she might march straight to the sect of the Heartless Sect.

"Hua, what a fine surname. Hua Tuo, the Divine Physician, also shared the surname Hua. Push history back a few hundred years, and who knows, you might even be relatives," Qin Hai said warmly.

Having made his decision, Xuan Jianting withdrew his gaze from the talismanic light mirror and turned to give instructions to He Wu.

Su Yue, the general guarding Chang'an, heard that Su Jing had gone to Tongguan and hurriedly dispatched an emissary to Tongguan to see him. Su Yue was the son of Su Dong, the uncle of Su Qin, making him a cousin to Su Jing. Su Jing replied, "I was driven to this out of desperation; there is no need for you to be in such a hurry. You should wait and see how things develop." Thereupon, Su Yue abandoned the city and fled west to Fengtian to rendezvous with Lu Zhen.

Li ShigU spent only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to read through this memorial, yet he spent nearly an hour pondering countermeasures. Gushanzhan and the Qinghai Navy had always been a thorn in his side; before Haizhou was pacified, he could spare no energy to resolve the issue, and regarding Hualong and his Qinghai Navy, he could only adopt a conciliatory approach, trying his best to keep them in check.

As for Zhao Lingxi, she did not need Wang Yang's care at all; on the contrary, there were times when she could take care of Wang Yang instead.

Though the people were few, the place was still filled with a bustling atmosphere. Of course, compared to the wild and decadent vibe of the First Realm, this Second Realm could be considered quite peaceful.

"Uncle, uncle..." Huo Tianen shouted anxiously, but the middle-aged man did not even turn his head, walking straight away.

Similarly, Senior Wudong and Senior Nantong were the same. They too harbored a sense of pride and would not easily bow their heads.

Starting from the flailing tentacles of the Kraken of the North Sea, a visible petrification rapidly spread across its body.

Waking up the next morning, I found myself held tightly in his arms, unable even to get up. I then cast a look of utter contempt at him, my lips moving as I muttered in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh Sung-hyuk, are you stupid, or do you think I'm even more foolish than a pig? Do you take me for an idiot? Do you think I can't figure out what's going on? Am I really that stupid in your eyes?" Did he truly believe I was foolish enough to remain entirely in the dark?

This speech left all the onlookers utterly bewildered. As it turned out, this maiden Yun Xian was the most accomplished actress of all, and everyone had been played by her.

The moment Long Xiao stepped inside, a chilly breeze seemed to sweep through the entire hall, and everyone felt an oncoming wave of cold air. The hands of the musicians playing gongs and drums trembled, throwing the rhythm completely off. The two martial artists who had been fighting spiritedly also seemed to sense that something was amiss, and their movements slowed down.

I opened my eyes wide in astonishment. "Me? A model? On the runway?!" I raised my voice gradually, but immediately reined in my mounting excitement.
