Chapter 39: All Has Become the Past
She subconsciously smoothed her hair, feeling a bit nervous. Having harbored a secret crush on Qin Ze for so many years, she had finally reached this moment, and the joy in her heart was irrepressible. Qin Ze frowned, clearly disliking that form of address. Because—but he still gave a slight nod, acknowledging the greeting. Mother Qin raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Yueyue, did you and Aze know each other before?" Before Yan Yue could answer—Qin Ze pulled his mother away.
Naturally, such a powerful spell could only be wielded by priests ranked "Holy Priest" or above. To the ears of Old Eight the fisherman and the dark-skinned man hauled back by Wang Chong, these words sounded like the voice of a judge echoing from the eighteenth level of hell. Tian Lan hadn't participated much in the practice at the time, as she was busy working intensively on the devices according to Ming Xi's requirements.
After the Merfolk finished devouring those disciples of the Underworld Butterfly Sect, they turned their aggression toward everyone else. Countless heads emerged from the sea, their mouths letting out incoherent roars of rage; toward humans, they seemed to harbor nothing but hatred. Wang Luo arranged for Borrie, Francisco, and Valen—who had just arrived from the Three Elephants—to handle their entry. As for himself, he walked over to Nars, who had just returned to the team, and asked about the other situation.
In fact, aside from the heartbreaking destruction of the clan's supreme treasure, the Divine Wood Staff, it was even more unacceptable that the charming Princess Hua Hong was to be married off to this outsider who had suddenly intruded.
"For the next ten years, you will have to spend your life in a wheelchair. Come find me in ten years to help you recover. Believe me, no one else in this world can help you heal except for me," Shen Yi said expressionlessly. Katherina finished speaking and slammed her fist into the iron gate facing the entrance, but unfortunately, the iron gate only deformed from her strike without opening an exit.
"Brother Hero, I must follow you to the main canteen, because my appetite is incredibly large; if I stay at the guard post, I'll surely starve to death," Zhang Qiang said, summoning his courage. Although some people had eyes that were red, as if they had been crying, their expressions did not suggest that the tears were caused by sorrow.
After listening, Xing Yu nodded and fell into deep thought. At that moment, the television screen began to flicker again, and with a "poof," it went completely black. "Lu Sheng, why are the Fuzhou Three Guards missing?" Wang Xun barked. He was on the verge of madness, realizing only when disaster struck that he had no troops at hand.
Lightning struck the sky without warning, and the surrounding black mist gathered even more intensely. It was clear that the divine beast's psychological state had shifted drastically, drawing in even more evil spirits, though he remained entirely unaware of it from start to finish. Consequently, in the following days, diners coming to eat at Tianmei Restaurant discovered that many dishes on the menu were marked as "temporarily unavailable."
Ye Lan absolutely could not believe that Meng Xinglu had been killed by ghosts just like that. What on earth had happened to Meng Xinglu in such a short period of time? Regarding his plight, the six people beside him felt deeply helpless, but facing Di Ting, who was currently filled with fury, they found it difficult to say anything.
A sudden blizzard caused visibility to plummet, and the team had to stop to find a safe area to shelter from the storm. Expecting the snow to pass quickly, Li Mu-ye and the others did not anticipate that the blizzard would rage for three days and three nights without pause. Li Wan raised her delicate eyebrows, looking just like the Princess Longyang of years past who held no one in her eyes.
Furthermore, he raised his own right palm and pressed it forward; his palm was crimson, covered in complex patterns, as if wearing an indestructible glove, flashing with a startling dark golden light. She had been captured by him for some time, but Wen Ren-zhao had not harmed her; he provided three meals a day as usual, only sealing her cultivation.
"Haha... it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Zhou Shen said this, but the smile on his face was undisguised. Lin Meimian turned around, looked toward the capital, and said to Shangguan Zisu, "Zisu, let's go to the capital instead," as she took hold of Shangguan Zisu's slender fingers.
The Heavenly Mystery Mirror was the same size as an ordinary mirror on the market, but it actually possessed eyes, a large mouth, and a movable tongue. However, the level of detail on this map, while shocking to Li Ziyuan, also provided him with certain conveniences. From the map, he could deduce the general movement routes of the other Japanese detachments, which brought him at least some tactical convenience in luring this group of Japanese soldiers away.
After transforming into a vampire, Qianye Inguo had become significantly stronger. To be precise, she was already a completely different person from the usual Inguo. However, Al still had not expected that the vampire-transformed Inguo would be this powerful.
Jin'ao Island rose into mid-air. When this ten-square-kilometer island-shaped strategic weapon left the lake, it not only stirred up a massive vortex-like anomaly in the water but also seemed to take away certain elements from the entire Adventurer's Forest. Just then, the gates of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and some people wearing cyan robes emerged, their expressions tense, walking with hurried steps.
Calyte gently turned on the bedside lamp and climbed into bed, seeing him lying on his back, his eyes open and staring at the ceiling, his gaze rigid, like a lifeless corpse that had died with eyes wide open. "How are the brothers of the Eighth Route Army doing?" Liao Fan asked after punishing his men and sending them back to their posts, walking over to check on the situation.
She had sought trouble time and time again; considering they were once sisters, he had not held her faults against her, but this time she had touched his bottom line, and he had nothing left to consider. Although they could change their appearances at will, almost everyone in the black market wore masks; if they didn't, they would seem suspicious.
Yu Feng felt there must be something fishy about this guy, so he ordered the phantom snake to enter the building, only to find it very empty, with only pillars and earthen walls; there were even some holes in the walls, making it look as if construction had ceased midway. "Isn't it because you're the boss of this park? Just for convenience?" Su Zan said, his tone devoid of ripples.
However, at this moment, he was locked on by the spiritual pressure of this Foundation Establishment cultivator; he couldn't even dodge, let alone anything else. Hearing that in just ten or twenty days, the shop had already made a gross profit of over one hundred thousand spirit stones—mostly from the sales of Clear Heart Tea and Pulse Repair Recipes—and that the net profit was no less than sixty thousand, even Lu Changqing was somewhat surprised. After all, when they were at the Lightning Strike Workshop, the shop had sold these same items.
"This is a rule set by Elder Ye. As his descendant, you are the first to break it; this is simply..." Jin Huan was so angry he didn't know which word to use to express his indignation.
