Chapter 58: Gan Mu, the Second Commander
The next morning, as the first rays of dawn pierced the sky, Xiao Yan, carrying the Heavy Xuan Ruler, stepped side by side with Ning Jiuyou into the dense forest.
Throughout the day, they traversed treacherous terrain overgrown with thorns, plucked rare herbs clinging to cliff edges, and nimbly circled around low-tier magical beasts that suddenly lunged out.
When the scorching sun hung high in the sky, the two rested briefly beneath a waterfall, the cool spray splashing against them and washing away their exhaustion.
As dusk deepened, when they passed through a small grove, the sky had grown completely dark.
He collapsed limply to the ground, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, appearing to be in excruciating pain, unable even to crawl.
Shen Wei did not change into casual clothes upon her return; she simply swapped her shoes and went out with Elder Fu.
Xu Yunhe did not know how long she had slept, but when she groggily opened her eyes, the dim surroundings instantly snapped her to alertness.
Shen Wei worried about what might happen in the future, much like today—she had struck him with her high heel, and it was quite abnormal that he had not caused any trouble.
Murong Qingchi crawled out in a disheveled and miserable state, retching a mouthful of dark blood as he hovered on the brink of death.
She had come together with Du Minghuai. Although she was no longer the CEO of the Xu Corporation, due to her capabilities and the extensive connections she had accumulated in Jingzhou over the past few years, the enthusiasm of the crowd toward her was no less than that toward Lu Yanjin.
Later, after returning to the Zhao family residence with Zhao Jingchuan, she had taken a nap. Waking up after a soothing lunch, she still decided to visit the Shi family today.
Watching Lingdang press her face against Xu Hongdou's fair thigh and act spoiled, Chen Mo wished he could take her place, tears almost disgracefully welling up from the corners of his mouth.
"Wait a moment, this concubine also has a matter she wishes to discuss with Your Highness," Zhao Hu'er decided to tell Zongzheng.
Upon closer observation, one could see that his features were handsome, with three-dimensional and refined contours, and his brows and eyes revealed steadfastness and wisdom.
Shenjing Wan clutched You Jian's arm, looking at [The Gluttonous Beast That Swallowed a Million] and [Crimson Nova Dragon: Daedalus] in his hands. She could not understand why You Jian wanted these two cards.
"Go to hell!" Seeing this, the Blood Sect Old Demon smiled hideously. His entire body, save for his head, burst into a cloud of blood mist, absorbing the boundless sea of blood to transform into a spear soaring with murderous intent.
Hearing this, Qin Junxi smiled and shifted his gaze back to the road, no longer bickering with Qingya.
"After finishing all this, you don't need to do anything for now, just wait for my further instructions." He walked away in a hurry, and his voice sounded somewhat indistinct. Yet it was certain that Zhang Sheng's voice was actually full of magnetic resonance and very pleasant to the ear.
At this moment, Shui Yan was practically limp. With trembling hands, she reached out to help Liu Zhi down from the sedan chair. A wave of dizziness struck her, causing her body to sway.
"The wish you mentioned that remains unfulfilled is clearly this one, isn't it?" Everyone came to a sudden realization, and Lei Yu then asked.
A ball of lightning blasted toward the back of the Alloy God of War's head, and the sole result it brought was merely drawing its attention.
You Jian remained silent, gazing with a numb expression at the two bowls of rice, as if he could see the life-claiming black qi growing denser and denser.
At this moment, You Jian and the shopkeeper noticed Shenjing, who had just finished selecting her card boxes. One immediately stuffed the iron box into his pocket, while the other instantly stopped laughing and resumed his usual demeanor.
The *Storm* had been activated, displaying its formidable majesty in the sky as it always did. Yet regrettably, the ones piloting it were no longer the Blue Team, which felt somewhat lamentable.
"Do not put too much pressure on yourself, after all, you are still very young. I hope that when we meet again next time, you can still maintain your original aspirations. That's right, I have left Liang Chenghai behind on Bauhinia Island; you can look for him at any time if you encounter trouble. If even he cannot resolve it, then you may come to find me." Chen Jianghe smiled and said.
"Instead of constantly pondering over what to do, you would be better off first conducting the investigation you ought to, and uncovering the true identity of your pursuers."
"Since you had Mr. Qin accompany you, the least you could do was let him have a word with the hospital, why bother waiting in such a long line?" Aunt Su was the one waiting outside with her. There were many people ahead of them, and her brow had been furrowed ever since she stepped inside.
