Chapter 37: Number One Star-Laire Street (3)

When she reached the drawer with the hidden compartment, she searched the desktop for a fountain pen, only to find none. Instead, there was an open notebook lying on the desk.

The page spread open read:
【I miss you. When are you coming back?】

There was no date, making it impossible to determine the timeline of the entries. She intended to flip to the beginning, but the content on the following page caught Su Ninglong’s attention.

【I feel that my time is running out. I went to see the doctor, and the doctor said I have developed...】

Although this sudden turn of events came as a great surprise to everyone, Mu Ge was nonetheless excited. It seemed the map had been marked correctly; this was indeed the place. It was no wonder they called this area "Ghost’s Despair." An ordinary person who stumbled in might never find the way out and would simply be trapped here until they perished.

If anyone were to see the two of them arrive at the banks of Moon Lake, they would surely be shocked. After all, Moon Lake had long been a forbidden zone in the eyes of the cultivators of Fangcun Mountain; to most, coming here was no different from courting death.

"Why are you looking for these people?" Ba Lie arched a brow. Witchcraft was forbidden even in Shangliang, and he could not fathom what Xiao Zhen was up to.

The Japanese army finally received word that an entire division was concentrating around Taizhuang and Teng County. A few days ago, they wouldn't have been worried even if two more divisions had arrived; they would have simply let Takahashi hold his ground while awaiting reinforcements, then sent troops to rescue him.

With a flash, he reached Yunshan, pressed a talisman paper against his forehead, and began to chant while forming hand seals with one hand.

As he spoke, Mu Ge pressed his hand onto Liang Gu’s dantian, continuing to drain his internal energy. He thought to himself that he must have absorbed the vast majority of Liang Gu’s power earlier, which had clearly taken a severe toll; otherwise, he could not have remained unconscious for so long.

It was unknown how long the Aolai Cave Heaven had existed, but without its master, it was slowly deteriorating and would eventually be downgraded to a mere blessed land.

"What is the meaning of all this head-shaking? Speak! Have you all gone mute?" Mu Pengfei was already anxious, and this only added fuel to his burning rage, nearly causing him to faint from agitation.

The cultivators guarding the breach possessed even more formidable auras. Mu Ge estimated they were at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Every cultivator entering the teleportation array had to hand over a white jade token rather than paying directly with spirit stones, as was the case with other arrays.

Jiang Yu cast a sideways glance at Yan Ning, who was sitting quietly on the sofa. Some people looked as beautiful as a masterpiece even when they were silent.

Nearby, the battered Taotie also noticed the newcomer, letting out a thunderous roar as it dragged its wounded body.

He couldn't very well tell them that he didn't even know the name of the original owner of this body. If they found out he was a transmigrator who had taken over the body of someone they held dear—and had done those things to both of them, one of whom was his sister—they would certainly call the police.

When Wang Yanran heard the words "he cannot be saved," she nearly fainted. Hearing Chen Yanxi speak like that only further ignited her fury; she grabbed a wooden plank from the ground and charged at her.

"What’s wrong with that? Besides, Baozhu and I are friends now, there’s no need to be so distant." Han Yue calmly signaled to Shen Pei that his relationship with Shen Yi was quite close.

She wasn't very familiar with the two of them, but at this moment, Cha Cha felt they were complete opposites.

They were not merely superficial friends. Some things had already happened and were unavoidable, but emotions were truly selfish things. One was not a saint and could not achieve such noble detachment, pretending not to care about anything.

But he thought he would wait until he truly fell in love with her before holding the wedding; after all, a wedding was a very sacred thing.

Her current state was identical to that of Han Momo—the look in her eyes, her manner of speaking, and her emotional state.

There was no need to find a wizard to recharge it; it only needed to be soaked in the blood of a Greater Demon for a day and a night. Once used, it could be recharged by soaking it again, making it incredibly convenient.
