Chapter 56: Shrek Academy

The blue-robed youth, who had been wearing a smile, instantly let his expression fade. He coldly demanded, "Are you looking for another fight?"

Dai Mubai awkwardly averted his gaze and let out a reluctant hum.

The moment she saw her, Ning Xi recognized Xiao Wu immediately. After all, a myriad of years later, she looked much the same, sporting the exact same scorpion braid.

When she looked over at the blue-robed youth standing intimately by her side, a sense of confusion washed over her—his features were remarkably plain.

Could this really be Tang San in his youth?

"Get up... get up... following your father has caused you to suffer." Overcome with deep emotion, Liu Yanchang, a grown man, could not hold back his tears as he reached out with trembling hands to help Chenxiang up.

Mei'er, dressed in a yellow skirt, clumsily cradled an infant in swaddling clothes, making clicking sounds with her tongue to amuse the child, while Bao Xi stood close beside her with a face full of blissful smiles.

Dark Kyurem's Focus Blast was powerful enough to be classified as an ultimate skill, precisely because it was unleashed by him alone, and furthermore, only he could learn it. It was an exclusive move, much like Mega Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent.

This unintended operation not only smashed the branch nest of the Shijili Cult in the Kashmir region, but Hannah also dug up some very valuable intelligence from Elder Frayabu.

Suppressing the impulse within me, I tucked the blanket over her and then headed to the bathroom to wet a hot towel, using it to wipe away the heavy makeup smeared across her face.

How could these alien females, living in such dire straits, not feel envy? How could they not feel hatred?

"A legend! What on earth is going on here?" Leomon's words left the children filled with doubt. They never expected that their arrival would actually tie into a prophecy from ancient lore.

After hanging up on Xiao Jing, I immediately called my personal physician to inquire about the probability of such a situation.

That bashful and annoyed look, combined with her charming and naive demeanor, made her utterly captivating. Ling Xiao felt like the happiest man in the world.

"That's a real brother. You definitely have to come look for me. Oh, right, just stay here and watch the place for a bit, make sure nobody else wanders in. I'm going to take a stroll outside," Lang Qing said with a carefree grin.

Poison clouds, poisonous fog, venomous needles, and toxic swords—these were all considered by evil practitioners to be the simplest yet most effective methods of attack, proving especially useful against enemies drifting unpredictably through the air.

Taking advantage of this brief delay, Zhang Sifei quickly pulled out several talismans and hurled them forward without even looking. A soft "poof" was heard, followed immediately by a miserable shriek. The cry was already chilling enough, and amplified by the echoes of the mountain valley, it frightened Zhang Sifei and Guo San and the others so badly that they retreated step by step.

Suddenly, he caught a scent of floral fragrance filling the air around him, making his heart leap with caution. The floral fragrance had drifted right through the whirlwind as if ignoring it altogether; yet, being formless and colorless, it was impossible to tell for a moment what kind of effect such a thing might produce.

"It's a pity that this fellow has that old bastard backing him, forcing me to be cautious. Otherwise..." The Dark Monarch clenched his fists tightly, brooding for half a moment before letting out a breath. It was unwise to be overly hasty in this matter; though he could not kill Guyan, being able to imprison him in the Abyss of Darkness would be enough.

Finding nothing unusual about it and knowing the other person had not intended to curse him, Yelu Yun forced a bitter smile through his pain and explained, "I am a human. The Yushu Kingdom dispatched me to Red Mountain, which is why I am passing through here."

However, the second tomb gate had already been opened by this time, though only halfway. It appeared the stone door had been forcefully propped up from underneath by two giant logs. From this, one could tell that the Second Chieftain had sacrificed even his own sworn brothers for this cache of treasure.

"Drink!" Meng Longwei snapped back to his senses. The stimulation of the alcohol left him somewhat dazed, and he finally remembered that it was he who had dragged this newly arrived fellow along to drink.

"What? Just one? I was hoping to sell a few more back home. Looks like there's nowhere else to buy them now," Dazhuang said with disappointment.

Immediately, a booming explosion erupted right where they stood, and the previously calm sea began to churn once more, whipping up towering waves that surged and raged in all directions.

Now, they actually still wanted to use these tricks to fool her and make a fool of her; it was simply laughable.

The old butler controlled the Iron Man armor as it darted swiftly among several escort vessels. The arc pulse cannons on his palms continuously fired dazzling white beams of light, slamming into the escort ships and triggering successive explosions.

Princess Wenya had not expected him to take Lanting's side, and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. After all, he was the Crown Prince; if she truly provoked him beyond his limits, she might not reap any benefits. She could only lower her head in response and find a disgruntled place to sit down.

Victory and defeat were common occurrences in military affairs. He conceded that he was no match for Guan Yi, but he would not surrender without a fight, because a four-million-strong army still possessed formidable strength to put up resistance.

Gong Luoche was still a complete bastard, and the fact that he had rescued her did not change that reality in the slightest.

Although the old butler's physical conditioning and reflexes were somewhat inferior to Chen Lei's, they still far exceeded those of an ordinary person. Dodging bullets was not much of a challenge for him; and while the simultaneous attacks of two Phalanx CIWS systems placed immense pressure on him, they still failed to hit him.

"See, I told you. It would be better to let them develop independently. That way, they'll have much better prospects." Min'er's parents had actually been watching from the sidelines all along, and upon seeing Liu Mang and Min'er walk off alone together, Min'er's mother immediately beamed with joy.

Yet... yet now, it seemed there was no other way to get it inside? What to do? What to do?

However, this fellow was frank enough to mention that he had also invited a few other friends, and specifically wanted to meet Qin Yue in person. To put it bluntly, wasn't this just asking Qin Yue to step in for an out-of-clinic consultation?

One upstairs, the other downstairs, remaining standing in almost identical postures—one holding a glass of juice, the other pinching a cigar, mirroring each other with uncanny similarity.

"I heard our 'eldest uncle' is about to get engaged to that daughter of the Wan family. I've asked around; she's a regular tigress. Do you think she'll be able to put up with this?" Di Di shook his phone, a sinister smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Oh! No! It couldn't be. She refused to get pregnant. She had finally broken free from everything, and had even found a place and prepared to move away with her mother from her stepfather's house—how could she possibly get pregnant at a time like this?

Since Wang Shu had already started making moves against him, why should Ye Chen bother to mask his discontent?

Tian Tiantian pursed her lips and pressed her hand against the glass window, as if stroking Luo Yaozhuo across the empty space, unable to articulate the complex feelings swirling in her heart.

"Brother Ling! What on earth is going on here?" Long Li had also arrived at the side of Ling Yunxiao and Kong Bingshuang by this time. A rather grim expression marred Long Li's face; when he had seen Ling Yunxiao step onto the martial stage to duel, his heart had been filled with joy, but the scene before him had turned his heart cold.

Initially, the two of them were still hesitant about whether or not they should let Zhou Yong and his companions go. Now that they were fully aware of everything, they finally resolved to let Zhou Yong and the others leave.

Everyone nodded in understanding, feigning as though they had seen nothing, and waited for the soldiers to arrive. Catching sight from afar of Li Shimin slaying the Kui beast with a single slash, the soldiers hurried over and swarmed around him, bursting into cheers and celebrating his victory.
