Chapter 41

Deep within the body, waves suddenly surged as two formless forces, as though having slumbered for countless years, burst forth at this very moment.

Liu Xuan’s typically gentle expression unexpectedly revealed a rare and extremely fierce intent. Husband and wife, sharing life and death, should originally have been able to accompany each other to old age, watch their son settle down, hold their grandchildren, and enjoy the happiness of a family. Yet, they never expected this.

Just like that, quite naturally, she had conjured up a sentence that sounded rather beautiful. Well, communicating more with people does have its benefits.

"Hmph! Follow me!" Long Tianwei glared fiercely at the man, let out a cold snort, and led him into a room on the second floor. This was the most soundproof room in the place; even if a fierce battle were fought inside, not a sound would be heard outside.

Bai Hao was shaken beyond measure. Netherworld—to use a single word to describe it, it was the underworld. In his past life, it was the place that governed the destiny of souls across the three realms.

The students who had been roared at by Zhang Xiao expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, leaving Zhang Xiao to crowd around Qi Zhen, Lingling, and Yingying.

Sipping tea and eating pastries, Chen Qingguo then proceeded to talk with Qi Zhen about the Map of the Nine Provinces' Secret Realm.

Lin Zheng checked the time and returned to the interrogation room. The person strapped to the iron frame was covered in sweat, eyes bulging outward, and body trembling slightly, looking to be in extreme agony.

After restoring the murals in the other rooms to their original state, he approached the window through which he had sneaked in and climbed back out.

Bao Cong came back and said that it cost fifty spiritual stones per person for a three-day entry. Once the time was up, one would be automatically ejected. Of course, if one were killed inside or cried surrender, they would also be ejected immediately without actually dying, which was why it was called the Trial Tower.

She sat in the boat, dressed in dark robes, clutching her mother's ashes to her chest, watching the city gradually blur from her field of vision until, at last, it merged into the horizon of the sea.

She hadn't felt it just moments ago, but now, with slightly wider movements, a sharp pain immediately radiated from the scratch on her back.

In the past, Ding Cheng had only ever accepted inner disciples and refused to take personal disciples, yet he taught his inner disciples just as if they were his own personal disciples.

Zhang Yao suddenly turned around, and the alluring sight spilling from the plunging V-neck nearly blinded Ye Fei's eyes.

Could it be that God brought me into this world just to torture me like this? The price of keeping my mother is having to abandon my biological son. Is this my destiny—destined to be severed from my own flesh and blood, destined to have my tendons pulled and bones stripped, leaving my heart shattered into pieces, forever bleeding, forever incapable of being made whole again?

"At the very least, the company I'm going to tomorrow has a bit of a reputation, alright? It's not going to be some sweatshop. You guys are looking down on me way too much. I actually did take time off today just to accompany you gentlemen at the risk of my life."

Hearing this, Netherworld sighed without a word, dragging his body—which seemed to have aged decades in a single instant—toward Yaoyue's residence. His retreating figure was utterly desolate, resembling a helpless old man, entirely devoid of the imposing presence of a former overlord.

Xi Ya changed her clothes, checked to make sure nothing was exposed, and only then opened the door to step out of the cubicle.

"Let me see it." Without caring whether Du Ruo was willing or not, he grabbed her arm and snatched the album away.

With that, Jian Lan slowly propped herself up, her movements somewhat sluggish. After a good while, she finally climbed up from the ground. Just as she wanted to bend down to dust off her clothes, she unexpectedly found her legs turning to jelly, and her body uncontrollably tilted backward.

Just as Su Nan was looking at this information, the friends sitting beside him also took out their phones and began searching on Weibo.

This was a genius who would be at least a Great Almighty expert in the future, and even had the potential to step across the threshold of the divine realm in a single stride. If he were to be snuffed out halfway by the Lian family, it would be an absolutely unbearable weight for the Jia family.

Yet his eyes, somewhat dimmed by the passage of time, reflected these sceneries at this very moment, appearing so full of hope, as if newborn.

……In the end, what should have been a very heartwarming fetal heart monitor completely ruined an otherwise cozy evening for the two of them. After tossing and turning in gloomy anxiety all night, Qiao Anming took Du Ruo to Zhou Lang's hospital early the next morning.

Blue Yuchen spoke with righteous confidence, but An Ruoran simply felt that there were some things she didn't know.

Jiang Beibei did not give Li Cheng any face. Letting out a sneer, she slowly raised her eyes to sweep a glance at him, making no effort to conceal the contempt, disdain, and sarcasm in her gaze.

Having finished all this, Princess Lingxuan directly unfolded her form, flapping her four wings, and departed at extreme speed, completely ignoring Cai Zhixiong.

Sure enough, three more decoy items rolled out consecutively from beneath the shield, though unlike the previous one, no strange beasts rushed out immediately to devour them.

Following that, the phantom of an emperor clad in crimson robes, with an ancient countenance yet radiating boundless tyrannical aura, also emerged in the void behind Ye Chen.

"Are you sure we can enter by going up from here?" Ye Chen asked doubtfully. Such an important stronghold could actually be accessed simply by entering a cave like this?

Therefore, Vali had always delved into combat techniques and spent his time on the road picking fights with people.

Zhang Zhen looked at the accessories interface, which instantly became even more ornate. Inside, the bicycle was divided into five major categories: handlebars, main frame, front and rear wheels, gears, and chain, followed by numerous upgradeable accessory options extending out to a degree of detail that made one marvel that a bicycle could be as intricately detailed as a sports car.

Indeed, on a battlefield pre-arranged by a mage, the strength a mage could unleash was truly astounding, and Necromancers were the cream of the crop among them.

In the eyes of this equally breathtaking young princess, Lin Hao saw not a shred of pity; what he saw was only the possessiveness and ruthlessness in the face of a treasure.

Liu Hao saved the phone number from the business card and then quietly waited for the charity gala to draw to a close. By now, the entire event was nearing its end.

True Man Cangshan looked at the Yunlong Manor below, which was gradually being enveloped by spiritual clouds and mist as the formation rose, a look of utter amazement on his face.

Wu Zichen's eye sockets grew slightly moist with a surge of warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected that because he had merely felt a sense of injustice and spoken a fair word for Su Nan back then, the other party would remember it to this day.

"Then after you leave Huo Qingnan, would you be willing to be with me?" Su Qingyou asked again. Hearing Xia Huan say she desperately wanted to leave Huo Qingnan, a sliver of hope sparked in his heart, and the gaze he fixed on Xia Huan was filled with a glimmering light.
