51 Can't Bear It Anymore

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sanhe understood in an instant that the person who invited him here today was seeking revenge. Furthermore, right from the start, they intended to take away the fortune he had spent the better part of a lifetime accumulating.

Everyone grew even more vigilant, but at that exact moment, Wei Zijie made his move again, followed instantly by the Ghost Spirit Mound and the Three Ghost Monsters.

After he finished chanting the incantation and forming the hand seals, both his emotions and his physical body seemed to be placed under control. Yet, he remained acutely aware that he was still himself, and no one was actually controlling him.

Listening to the unceasing sounds of battle outside—the clashing of metal and the cries of charging warriors—the two of them exchanged a knowing smile.

"Why don't we go take a look at your school?" Huang Shaohua genuinely had no idea where else they could go, so he finally made the suggestion. Having never set foot inside a school before, a sense of curiosity inevitably stirred within his heart.

Ji Xuan caught hold of a hand and immediately grew quiet, pressing the hand tightly against his chest with both of his own. The newcomer sat down, placing his other hand upon Ji Xuan's forehead, which felt as scorching hot as a furnace. Hastily sitting at the head of the bed, the man pressed his fingers between Ji Xuan's brows and channeled a vast amount of inner energy into him.

"Confess on your own terms, and do not make me spill everything. If it truly comes to that point, Wu Yong, not even the Jade Emperor himself could save you," Lin Feng shouted sternly.

Most noteworthy of all was the staircase leading to the second floor of the villa. It was spiral-shaped and appeared to be made entirely of glass. Alongside the spiral staircase, there was also a slide-like tubular chute.

Xue'er felt even more perplexed after hearing this. Could a desert truly be beautiful? However, since they were already in Zhongjun, they should not be too far from the Central Underworld Wasteland, which meant they could afford to stay in the Phantom Beast Domain for a little longer.

"Sister Lin, and Baby, stop messing around." Wei Zijie cast a pleading look toward Liu Lin and Su Baobao.

Lin Feng nodded, though a silent resolve formed deep within his heart: he would never let Liu Ruoxi down in this lifetime.

Lin Feng gently shook his head. Indeed, having spent so much time on the battlefield, he had truly never seen such a thing. He found it somewhat puzzling; supplies usually consisted of things to eat and drink, so what kind of item could possibly emit thick green smoke?

"It must be that thing which lured the ferocious beasts here!" Qingpeng tossed the beast-detection artifact to Lin Tao, then leaped headfirst into the ocean, ready to resolve the trouble.

Iga Kawashira, on the other hand, hurriedly sprang into action. Leveraging the trunk of a nearby tree, he vaulted clean over the wall. To be frank, this fellow was truly formidable; he cleared the two-meter-high wall with absolute ease, a feat that even Lin Feng himself had to admit he could not match.

Behind the partition curtains stood a row of transparent culture vats forged from alloy glass. Inside each vat floated semi-humanoid monsters. The bodies of these figures were largely decayed and covered in sores, looking as though they had been dead for decades—a deeply terrifying sight.

A slightly disheveled strand of dark hair slipped down slowly, fluttering gently in the breeze drifting in from outside the cave. As it brushed across his face, it added an even dreamier, ethereal beauty to his picturesque features.

"Zhou, I don't want to be adopted by anyone else—anyone at all. I mean, I don't want to be adopted a second time," Roger said, lowering his head. This was the first time he had ever lowered his head in front of Zhou, truly acting like a child.

Liu Ruoxi stepped out of the vehicle, with Lin Feng following closely behind her. At the same time, Lin Feng scanned his surroundings with utmost vigilance; the moment anything seemed amiss, he would act immediately to ensure Liu Ruoxi's safety above all else.

However, Lin Feng never spoke falsehoods, a fact that Tang Congming was well aware of. Deep down, however, Tang Congming could not help wondering just how terrifying Iga Kawashira truly was.

In the capital, inside Daohuishu Lane, most of the residents were impoverished folk who had come to the capital to scrape a living. The household at the very end bore the surname He. They had arrived in the capital from Shandong a year ago to rely on relatives, but on the journey, the elderly couple of the He family had unfortunately fallen ill and passed away, leaving behind only the siblings He Qing and He Hong.

Venomous drool dripped from the corners of its mouth, reeking foully and clinging thickly to the ground. Wherever it touched the earth, the surrounding vegetation instantly turned charred and black, reeking of decay. This was undoubtedly a venomous snake, and its poison was exceptionally potent.

Yet, currently residing in Langyuan, maidens like October and July were not permitted to enter, leaving Zhiyun with no choice but to fend for herself. Consequently, she could no longer afford to fuss over whether things were comfortable or not.

During the New Year period, from New Year's Eve through the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the very first greeting exchanged upon meeting anyone was to wish them a happy New Year—this was both a custom and a blessing.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Others might think it foolish, but I feel that you are quite adorable this way—at the very least, I don't find it repulsive at all," Wang Haotian said sincerely, sighing inwardly. *Damn it, probably no man under heaven would find it repulsive. If I had to go through it again, I'd probably be unable to resist making a mistake myself.*

"Understood." Tuanzi knew that if she denied it, Ziyuan certainly wouldn't believe her anyway. Telling the truth might at least leave some room for a turnaround.

A piercing scream echoed from the bathroom, and An Haoetian rushed straight inside the moment he finished pulling up his trousers.

What was this? Xiao Jingxuan instantly unleashed an overwhelming murderous intent, wishing he could hack Nakasone Eiko into five pieces and tear her corpse to shreds.

"Of course," Wei Sha nodded. "I only want a child belonging to you and me." He locked his gaze onto Ruoxi's eyes, speaking with the utmost earnestness.
