Volume One, Chapter 106: Visiting the Graves, Confessing the Heart

Su Wuyang, listening from downstairs, was chilled to the bone. What Li Mifeng had said that day was true after all: Qin Fangbai and Jiang Jing had conspired to seize him.

The offensive power of the Sky-Piercing Finger was simply too great; whether at close range or from afar, its might was terrifying beyond measure. It was by no means something I could control. After all, the person before me was not Xuan Kong, but Reverend Lin.

Di Long returned to his temporary quarters at the Imperial Academy and, after a simple midday meal under Tan Chun's service, rested for a while.

Today, Yu Yang was wearing a white shirt, and the brown coffee had spread across the white fabric, giving birth to a unique, unparalleled work of art.

When Li Lianying heard the emperor ask him about this, he thought to himself, delightedly, that the emperor did not even know about such a thing. But then he realized it made sense; there were no roosters in the palace, much less any crowing at dawn.

In short, Chu Wanyi had already become one of the names on the organization’s list of people to eliminate, ranked among the top ten. She had completely become the mortal enemy of Qin Lu and the force standing behind her. With Ling Yang caught in the middle, things became extremely difficult.

Under such circumstances, they could only choose to compromise and retreat in silence, signing their names on the several confidentiality agreements David produced with great reluctance.

I could not help but feel amused. Could it be that I had run into robbers? This fellow was not a ghost, but he was steeped in a sinister aura; he should be a member of the demonic sect.

Just as Su Yuyang had predicted, Ling Miao shouted out a long stretch of words in one breath, then panted slightly as he stared at Su Yuyang.

Only then did Su Wuyang realize that she had spoken harshly in front of the children. Even so, she still did not want to turn back; she merely comforted Luoluo and Chenchen, saying that she was not angry.

Half laughing and half exasperated, she put the things away. Thinking that she would still have to go back and keep farming the monsters that respawned, Lin Xi used a skill to return as well. The moment the familiar scenery appeared before her eyes, she opened the system interface and chose to end the game.

Going downstairs, under the servant's guidance, Sima Sen sat beside the flowerbed in the courtyard.

"Enough. You’ve apologized, and you’ve explained yourself. I’ve heard more or less everything I need to hear. I’ve got something to do, so I’m leaving first. Goodbye!" Jun Lin raised a hand and waved Chen Baocheng away as though shooing flies.

In truth, Night Spirit was far more dangerous than a lion right now. If those two boys dared to keep pretending not to hear her and dragging the matter off onto side paths, she guaranteed she would give them both a lesson they would never forget, one that would teach them some people simply could not be offended.

After those who had chosen their beds put down their belongings, they gathered again in front of the building and prepared to head to the cafeteria for lunch.

Just now, when Bai Jie was at his wit’s end, the system thoughtfully issued him a town-upgrade quest he needed.

He saw that the long sword case he had been carrying on his back, ancient in style and so old it could almost be called dilapidated, its lacquer and carved patterns already badly worn and mottled, suddenly opened of its own accord. With a clear ringing of the blade, a streak of incomparably brilliant sword light shot out from within the weathered case.

While making such plans, Yi Xin was also astonished at herself for being capable of such a bold idea.

Sen Cang, however, was much more composed. After all, having followed the Ghost Emperor Luosha for so long, he had long grown accustomed to seeing the heads of great powers bow and scrape before his master. In his heart, with his master’s strength, such respect was indeed well deserved.

"Anyway, this concerns the lifelong happiness of my three lovely disciples. If you dare harm even one of them, I will ruin your face, blind your eyes, cut the tendons in your hands and feet, and make you live the rest of your life in regret and agony." The old man slammed the table so hard it rattled, drawing the attention of many people in the teahouse.

He was still too young. His life still had a long road ahead. If he were to die like this, how could he ever achieve further glory? Even if he were captured, perhaps after a few years he could escape back like Zhao Polu.

In addition, what left the deepest impression in the film was the latter part, where he burst out in five languages—Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian—over the phone, each one flawlessly standard. The male actor had been dubbed in postproduction, but in reality people discovered that An Feng truly spoke like that, with an authentic accent.

Well... Heart Lake scratched his head a little sheepishly. To be honest, to a certain extent, she had taken him for a fool.

Even if they were about to leave the Soul World and head to Hueco Mundo, Tosen’s move at this moment still seemed a little abrupt.

Among them, the platforms where Billy Timothy, Sword Saint Zhi Kong, and Xia Huajun stood also decided the outcome at this very moment, and the three early-stage mid-tier inheritors were swiftly slain.

The weather in the afternoon was excellent, with clear skies stretching for thousands of miles. Sailboats and yachts could often be seen nearby, so the location was quite good. An Feng stopped the boat, and Joanna gently placed the sleeping Alice into the stroller. The child gave her mother enough face not to wake up crying.

Soon after, about fifteen minutes later, a crocodile-leather armor was also finished. It looked incredibly cool when worn, and most importantly, it could save your life.

But for now... the proper thing was still to harvest all the source energy in this valley.

At that moment, Luo Ranchu gazed at her deeply, and under such a silent look, Heart Lake felt as though she had nowhere to hide, a little embarrassed and helpless.
