Chapter 62
Li Yiwei's face twitched violently as his heart bled silently. His hands trembled, not knowing where to place them.
"No, no, no, you haven't even finished eating yet. Why are you leaving already? There's no inconvenience at all, he—he's just a friend of mine," Chen Mei said hastily, gesturing for Wei Feng to sit back down.
The traditional uniforms of the two teams were distinctly colored: one was a bright sea-like blue, while the other was as passionate as blazing fire in red, with streaks of black within that red resembling the dying embers of a roaring fire. These two colors had always been incompatible as water and fire; either the ocean extinguished the fire, or the fire turned the ocean into steam.
"Tomato is fine, you go up to the airship first, leave this to me." Wang Ping tied up the eggplants, patted his shoulder encouragingly, and then motioned for the crew on the airship to start pulling the ropes.
As the chairwoman and general manager, she could only maintain her composure, calmly entangling with this demon, stalling for time bit by bit until reinforcements arrived. She believed someone would come to save them.
When Wu Kai put on his doctor's attire once again, a long-lost feeling immediately welled up in his heart. Although Wu Kai had not formally obtained a medical license, ever since he mastered extraterrestrial medical arts, he had already performed several extremely successful surgeries—ones of unprecedented difficulty on a global scale.
With Li Xun's discernment, he could naturally see that this was a rather ingenious restriction mechanism, relying not on human strength, but on something akin to a water-repelling pearl.
Huang Juan of course hadn't really forgotten, but why did she insist on saying that? Why must she hurt herself?
Dong Yu was caught off guard by Wu Kai's question and didn't know how to respond for a moment, standing there in a daze for a long time without knowing what to say.
Back here, under the bright lights of the room, she looked at the gruesome, bloody scratch marks on her arm. The sight alone made her vision swim, and she wished she were only dreaming. Therefore, when the imperial physician's medicated cotton pad gently touched her arm, the agonizing pain made her break out in a cold sweat.
Evening was already approaching, and the lingering rays of the setting sun stretched the shadows of Xiao Yu and Lily long and thin.

Hearing Qin Yang speak with such warmth, and reflecting on the events of the day, everyone felt that what Qin Yang said made a lot of sense. This doubt, which had previously lingered vaguely in everyone's hearts, was ignited all at once by him.
Iron Hand clenched his fists somewhat excitedly and glared at me, which took me by surprise. He pressed his lips together, nodded, turned the monitor around, and pointed to a local news story from Z City on the screen, which featured the picture of me receiving the award.
"He will agree." Emotions aside, having lived together for so many years, her understanding of her husband surpassed even his own self-awareness.
"Impossible! That is the vanished 'Sunshine All Over'," said the Archmage of the Light Temple in panic and horror.
By the afternoon, seeing that Century-Crossing still had not responded to the matter, Han Ge understood their stance.
Seemingly affected by the turmoil as well, a section of the buildings within the imperial palace had collapsed. Fortunately, the collapsed structures were merely insignificant locations, and the core of the imperial palace had not suffered any major damage.
Ever since then, the Prince Jiang Estate had passed several days in peace and tranquility as usual, which was not surprising at all since Jiang Jiuli was inherently someone who pursued comfort.
Consort Sara's symptoms were somewhat similar to Xue'er's condition back then. Although there was no penetrating wound, her nervous system was damaged, leaving her entire body almost completely paralyzed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter a secret," Han Xu said resolutely. He was tight-lipped and never spoke of things he was told to conceal.
"But Mother clearly told me that you chased after her shamelessly back then, and she only married you downward because she had no other choice." Perhaps dissatisfied with his father's falsehoods, or perhaps to prove from another angle that he was not in the wrong, the son finally spoke up, leaving his father speechless.
Zi Lingtian looked at Ji Xue'er, who seemed somewhat afraid of him, and smiled, "Speak freely. Actually, I am also a very easygoing person."

Having Duan Chun killed by Jiang Tian with a single sword stroke right under his nose, without even having time to react, would undoubtedly be a massive stain on his hosting career.
"Ahem, it's nothing. So, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, my treat today," Wang Jian said with great nonchalance, throwing his arm around Ye Tian's shoulder.
"Daoist Priest Chen, this long journey across the vast ocean will be fraught with countless hardships. Have you prepared for all possible challenges?" Wang Ze asked Chen Duan while supporting Liu Qing, who insisted on coming to see them off, while Chen Duan was similarly supporting the old man.
The next instant, he slashed a sword toward Jiang Tian and his companion, in a manner identical to how he had killed the five spiritual beasts earlier.
When people drew closer and saw that the golden light-streming gate in the firmament had now turned into a pale white light gate, they knew it had been breached, and everyone had already entered.
Liuli collected her thoughts and smiled, "There are indeed some. In the palace, there were the Consort and the Madam to manage everything, but once outside..." What she felt nostalgic for was certainly not a life of depending on others' breaths. However, compared to the trials she would face a few months later, though palace life was fraught with crises at every turn, it perhaps wasn't quite as agonizingly perplexing.
To survive such a powerful and violent impact—could his current weakness be due to injuries sustained from that severe collision?
