Chapter 36

Xiao Yunnan shook his head, then took Xiao Wenwen to an antique-style teahouse and headed upstairs.

By this time, the number of people from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom had reached one hundred and fifty, hailing from at least fifteen different cities.

As previously mentioned, Zhang Cuili possessed extraordinary perception. It was precisely this instantaneous judgment that allowed her to escape from the jaws of death.

Li Shijian was soft-hearted. Hearing their account, he actually felt a sense of pity for the pirate leader.

Despite the heating in the restaurant, everyone felt a chill spontaneously arise from the depths of their hearts.

This is why the second stage of the Long March 11 rocket had to use hydrogen-oxygen fuel; once solid fuel is ignited, it cannot be stopped.

Chen Yunru’s outburst gave her a new perspective. Originally, she intended to maintain average grades to hide her true strength, but now she felt there was no need. She wanted to let the former You Xue enjoy the glory that should have belonged to her.

The remaining interns had to use three step stools just to barely see what was happening inside.

This segment of history was already set in stone and had to form a space-time loop. Otherwise, space-time would become turbulent, and might even annihilate her, an uninvited guest. With Lin Yueru’s current strength, she could not alter this history without the aid of the system.

After all, he had just witnessed the extraordinary abilities displayed by Liu Qilin.

"It’s fine, then I’ll take you flying," Nana said, seemingly excited. A hint of an inexplicable emotion flickered in her phoenix eyes as she smiled faintly at him.

After a long while, the Wolf King Han and the others finally stabilized the injuries of the eighty-three demon wolves. Amidst their fear and anger, they also felt a slight sense of relief.

That was just as well; he had been worried about having no one to stir up trouble, leaving him to waste time cooped up in this courtyard house.

"Get up! You know I don’t like all this bowing. Oh, and Zhang Lei is bringing the golden man over in a moment, claiming he is desperate to reveal the truth. You should come along and see for yourself," Liren said, helping Zhang Hu to his feet.

***

The demon essence exploded. Although Hu Fei reacted immediately, she ultimately failed to escape the entanglement of the Seven-Flame Brocade Rope and was instantly bound.

Seeing that no one responded, Zhang Daxiong understood the situation. He himself dared not go up to test it, and the reason he called on others was partly to use them as pawns. Unfortunately, these people were not Wei Peizhen and were not so easily fooled.

Its impassioned tone stirred Yao Muchen as well, a brilliant light flashing in his dark, bright eyes. Just as he turned his head to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by an inexplicable tremor from afar.

"What kind of treasure has got you so happy?" Yao Muchen looked up at it with a smile, his gaze sweeping over it as he guessed that this fellow must have really gotten its hands on something good, otherwise it wouldn't be this excited.

When the sound of the thirty-eighth person falling from a distance reached them, Tie Yi pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

Yao Muchen wanted to stop it from drinking, but seeing that it showed no signs of distress after finishing, he ceased his interference and picked up his own cup to drink with Shi Yitao.

"Has Elder Brother returned?" Qin Ji forced herself to remain calm, greeted him with poise, and signaled for the bystanders to withdraw.

Yu Yun was filled with irrepressible anger, yet there was nothing she could do. For now, she had no choice but to delay her leveling up; it might be safer to move out later when there were more people.

"That will depend on whether we can take him down before he kills us," Fern slowly drew the Sword in the Stone. The sound of the blade sliding against the scabbard made the atmosphere even more tense.

A few minutes later, Mu Haotian exited the bathroom to find that his lady had already laid out a set of clothes, neatly arranged.

Xia Mo deliberately drew out the word "pig," speaking it very loudly. As soon as she finished, those around them burst into laughter.

"Zhao Fu-guo, have you lost your mind? What exactly are you trying to do?" She pulled her hand away forcefully, only to have it gripped even tighter by Zhao Fu-guo. Too much had happened tonight, and now, being entangled by him like this, Ye Zhitong became irritable once more.

She was only responsible for contacting a few clients, making phone calls, and recording lists. Although this simple work did not seem difficult, she performed it with great diligence.

"You don't believe me, yet you believe a stranger?" Sikong Han was in a foul mood, so his tone was harsh.

***

"Bastard!" Ye Zhitong covered her top with both hands, but then couldn't cover the bottom; shielding the bottom left the top exposed. She was both ashamed and annoyed.

Therefore, she thought, she must not let him call Chu Shiyu. She had to make Chu Shiyu feel that Yin Yihang was intentionally distancing himself from her; otherwise, he might find out about the call Chu Shiyu had just made.

Zhou Botong hurriedly signaled for his sedan chair to come over so Wang Chongyang could sit. Wang Chongyang did not stand on ceremony, lifted the curtain, and climbed inside. Zhou Botong walked in front with his hands tucked in his sleeves, and the group snaked their way toward the Zhou family manor.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded silently. Jin Guangyan scooped another spoonful of porridge, and she swallowed it numbly. When the bowl was empty, Jin Guangyan nodded in satisfaction and walked out.

Qing Rang did not ask anything else. Regardless of his former identity, from now on, he was just A-Xu.

Having passed so many exams before, she believed she would certainly perform well in the upcoming college entrance exam.

The next moment, those cold, thin lips pressed against Xia Wanzhu’s, seemingly a punishment born of anger, leaving her almost unable to breathe.

If he hadn't been staring so intently, Lin Xiao would not have noticed the sudden arch in her brows.

Because, under normal circumstances, what choices and challenges would they face when confronted with these dangers? It actually reflected the difficulties they would face in the pursuit of their ambitions.

"Something light would be best, for example—" Yan Xiaoxiao’s words were interrupted by the ringtone of Jin Guangyan’s phone.

He didn't stay in Chang'an City for long. He opened the task panel, but the mission for the ninth title had not appeared.

At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly rippled like water, spreading out in layers, and petals of pink flowers drifted in from nowhere until a vast expanse of peach blossoms appeared before his eyes.
