Chapter 19: The First Day Passed Smoothly

The explosion did not happen in his room. Cao Bin quickly walked to the window. Pulling aside the heavy curtains, he saw that night had already fallen outside; the sky was dark, but the fire from the direction of the explosion illuminated the night as if it were day.

He let out a long sigh of relief, the tension draining from him as he finally tucked the sturdy pistol into the hands of his subordinate.

As long as the opponent wasn't at the Stellar River stage, they wouldn't be able to fly relying solely on their physical strength. As long as the ship ascended high enough, there was no way the enemy could reach them.

"You two, keep your words to a minimum. With so many guests here, none of us can remain entirely unaffected. Also, go fetch Tang Zhong and have him record all the gifts the guests have brought. It'll serve as a reference in the future," Duan Fengyue said as she watched Tang Yan's expression, her own heart filled with unease.

The elders worked with great enthusiasm. Someone soon found the old discarded vine ropes, gathering them in large bundles. Luo Li thought the elders' craftsmanship would soon improve by leaps and bounds.

"Mou'er, this explosive is quite powerful. When we get back, will you teach me how to make it?" Mu Jinghong asked with a smile, placing a hand on Ling Jiantong's shoulder.

Ying Ming was just as annoying, always grinning and mysteriously sneaking things into his treehouse—most likely gifts for Li. And that Du wasn't much better; he claimed he wanted to thank Li for mending his leg and insisted on giving her a present, but who didn't know what he was truly thinking?

He felt that this girl was becoming more and more different lately, and she especially liked to snuggle in his arms, often stirring his nameless desire, whether intentionally or not.

"Heh, as if! Those tricks of theirs are nothing—they think they can track me down? Dream on!" Zhuo Tian said with a wink and a grin.

After dozens of breaths, Mo Mo's armpits and back had sustained four or five serious injuries, but he had managed to eliminate more than twenty of the enemy. Of the remaining ten or so, each bore wounds of their own and seemed unlikely to last much longer.

"I'm not satisfied!" Li Yi roared in a low, forceful voice, his eyes blazing with fury. Suddenly, his aura changed, and beads of blood splattered wildly from his body.

Mo Mo dared not delay. He hurriedly put the Ice Demon Bird away and then pretended nothing had happened as he pressed forward on his journey.

"Thank you! I hope that when you return from your training, I'll be able to return this book to you," Hua Yu said, sending the Medicine Sage out of her space.

Mad Dog stood silently behind Huang San, staring at Chen Haoran. The knuckle of his right index finger trembled ever so slightly.

Establishing a human base on Mars presents some extremely serious scientific challenges. One of the main obstacles is radiation. There are several issues with settling on Mars that simply cannot be ignored.

"Tying him up? That doesn’t seem right," Chen Jie hesitated, a troubled look on his face.

Liu Jianguo, holding Recon One sniper rifle, also smiled, but his smile quickly froze.

If she made a mistake and got everyone excited for nothing, wasting manpower and resources on a wild goose chase, then she would be truly guilty.

Tang Yi, due to some family business, had been abroad for years and had not returned to the Eastern Province to care for the Tang family patriarch.

Because the flashlight’s beam was angled downward, the light it cast was very dim, but Lu Biao could no longer care about such details. He pulled off his backpack and dug through it frantically.

She didn’t have many possessions. Su Yan only chose a few new sets of clothes; she left untouched everything she’d worn before.

"You finally broke through the supreme barrier, only to be killed by a few grade nine enemies. Even your most trusted subordinates have now been slain by a handful of grade fives."

Outside the door, Mo Shaochen was stunned by Xu Anran’s words. More precisely, everything she had done today had left him shaken to the core.

Shen Wen returned to the Shen family in a fury, only to be horrified to find a carriage parked in front of the gate.
