Chapter 66

Everything was quiet. The rain that had poured incessantly for the past three days and three nights stopped in this brief moment.

Feng Hongge preferred to keep her enrollment in the Weaponry Department a secret, so she decided to take advantage of this lull to go there stealthily.

Chu Anle walked all the way to a relatively secluded area, where a sickening odor gradually drifted into the air.

Last night, Qing Cang had interrogated the sister-in-law, and today the sister-in-law had vanished! Aside from a few patches of bloodstains, not a single trace remained.

After much deliberation, Mu Xiaoluo gradually grew disheartened and felt a tinge of pity for Zhongli Chong. She believed that Zhongli Chong's repeated mistakes and his descent to this current state were largely due to her elder sister, Mu Ruoxue, who bore an inescapable responsibility.

It was not enough just to tuck Xu Xiangmeng—who was utterly drunk and sprawled out like a lump of wet mud—into bed. Even in her drunken slumber, Xu Xiangmeng remained as nimble as usual, tossing, turning, and kicking off the quilt with practiced ease.

"Swish!" A strip of white silk flew down from the sky, spinning back and forth like an agile serpent. In a flash, it snared the sword that the leader of men in black was about to bring down on Qing Cang.

Meng Xi touched her nose and dared not pick up the thread of the conversation. She could tell that this simple-minded girl harbored a blind adoration for her older brother; if she dared to say that this roe deer was foolish and easy to catch, she would likely incur Chunhua's undying hatred.

That Professor Zhang was a renowned designer in the industry. That year, he came to substitute teach, and his lectures—seamlessly blending theory with practice—were immensely popular among the students.

Three immensely massive Abyssal Demons, combined with that brutal and ferocious aura, would have sent ordinary people trembling with fear. But Lady Hu was no ordinary person. Although the three Abyssal Demons possessed genuine oppressive force, Lady Hu had absolute confidence in herself, as well as in Chu He.

Lan Liqiang was well aware that back when Lan Shiqin passed away, Chi Shaohua had encrypted all of his files to prevent Cheng Ming and Wen Wan from doing anything detrimental to him.

"Don't call me. It's still morning, let me sleep a little longer," Wei Renwu mumbled groggily, tightly wrapping himself in the quilt.

Chen Yaoyang knew Boyi's thoughts better than anyone. In truth, this was a helpless choice. China's current technology was weak and its foundation thin; people hadn't even heard of many things, let alone know how to make them.

Upon hearing that Wei Renwu was willing to help avenge them, the resentment that Zhang Feng and the others had just felt toward Wei Renwu instantly vanished.

If she traveled through the night, she could see Dan Liancheng by nightfall, but Yun Qixi told herself there was no rush.

At that moment, the people of the Ji family approached, led by the divine son of the Ji family—an equally vibrant and handsome man in white robes.

With everyone gathered, gods filled the great hall, and the Eastern Immortal Monarch signaled the celestial attendants in the hall to lead Bai Ze inside.

Aimu had no desire to listen to this, yet she felt too embarrassed to interrupt Old Master Ji's rambling. She simply followed behind him in silence, listening as he chattered on about Huo Junzhe. In one ear and out the other, she did not absorb a single word.

To go on vacation, one first needed a companion. Li Muy's thoughts immediately turned to Chuxue, so he headed toward Battery Park's Steed Tower.

Liu Moyu did not hesitate, resolutely stepping forward and walking straight toward a certain person.

Jiang Hao felt restless all day long, a massive stone seemingly pressing upon his heart. Recalling the shattered jade of fortune and misfortune from earlier, he vaguely realized that perhaps the gods from the Divine Realm were truly about to descend.

As for the Primordial Essence, it completely ignored Ye Jiangchuan's existence; cultivators at the divine tier were instantly disregarded.

Chen Yuqi cast a sidelong glance. This fellow clearly had no intention of avoiding him. Very well, some questions could wait for later; he didn't want to cause his younger sister distress right now. The most important thing at present was to help her recuperate. She ran to the hospital at every spare moment; if she stayed away for too long, their parents would grow suspicious.

Inside the Cloud Palace, Jiang Hao's primordial pellet had completely transformed into something else. Initially a smooth array of colors, it was now carved with mountains and rivers, and the process was still refining further. No one knew what it would eventually become.

Only those mountain-like, towering Ghostly Immortals of the Nine Heavens, possessing their own powerful protective barriers, retained their original forms and remained unbroken in the explosion.

"Let's go. Their frontline team still has heavy responsibilities; let's find a place to spar properly!" Qin Yun said with a smile to his teammates.

Yes, there was no need to wait for Yao Qin's nod or shake of the head anymore—I was already together with Li Xiaoyu. Just before dinner, Li Xiaoyu had explicitly stated that if Yao Qin still refused, she would rather elope with me than be apart.

Since they would all retreat anyway, it made no difference where they attacked, as long as there was a threat. None of them would land anyway, right?

Haotian had originally intended to give a speech, but having failed to listen to what Xuanji had actually said earlier, he worried that his own words would overlap with Xuanji's. Thus, he merely offered a brief, perfunctory explanation of a couple of points to gloss it over.

After listening to her father's explanation, Wang Tong did not stand on ceremony; she opened the menu and began ordering from the waiter.

Ahead of them lay the twenty thousand elite troops of the Qin family's Li clan. Once they breached the defensive line of the Li clan's army, the Elysium Holy Sect would be able to sever the retreat route of the Qingfeng army and trap a million Qingfeng soldiers to their deaths in the eastern region of Yuzhou Road.

Shen Chongming was driven to exasperation. This guy often boasted about his rich martial arts world experience; could a starving person not overeat when food was finally available?

"I more or less taught myself," Lele said. In truth, she and her brothers were indeed self-taught, so this wasn't strictly a lie.

"It's been a long time, Eldest Brother. Take off your mask," Leng Huating said, looking contemptuously at the masked man with a playful, mocking sneer at the corner of his lips, speaking as casually as if he were catching up with an old friend.

Our security guards were no pushovers either; they had all undergone rigorous training, so dealing with a few punks was naturally not a problem.

"Give me the key. I'll be staying here for a few weeks. If you have anything to do, you can go back first!" Chen Yidao said.

"Principal! Lele is back!" She muttered inwardly: I'll get you for recommending me to City N, which kept me away from home for so long before I could return.

"So fragrant! So soft." Lu Lin reminisced about Liu Mengxue's tender and smooth body, speaking infatuatedly.

Zhao Lian stood to the side, pressing her lips together in quiet amusement. Only Baili Ling, who feared neither heaven nor earth, dared to speak the unvarnished truth so loudly.
