Chapter 127: Are You Yelling at Me?

Fu Chen felt like a leaf torn from a branch by a cold wind, the sense of loss within him magnified infinitely. He stood rooted to the spot, and only after a long silence did he slowly speak.

"I do not wish to owe you too much."

Song Hui’s heart skipped a beat. She could clearly sense the profound loneliness on Fu Chen’s face, his tone laced with a faint, chilling sorrow.

She asked herself, had she never imagined reconciling with him? Of course she had. In the dead of night, Song Hui often found herself recalling the fragments of their time together. The happiness, the sorrow, the awkwardness—in just a few short months, this man had carved out a place in her small, guarded heart.

"Buzz..."

"Who are you? Is it Ning Song?" Hearing the voice, it didn't sound entirely like Ning Song, and my heart was suddenly filled with doubt.

Indeed, Professor Stubborn’s words had an effect. Everyone stopped in their tracks, each raising their own protective barrier, and as they gathered, the barriers merged into one almost instantly.

Come to think of it, these families had lived in the same territory as Prince Ning for years; how could they have no connections? Those who were truly at odds with Prince Ning had all been thoroughly purged on the very day he raised his banner.

Furthermore, lines of torches were stretched out from north to south, illuminating the entire pier. While there were still some blind spots, they were too small to conceal anything more than a person or two; they could never hide a large force.

"Swish!" The sound of an arrow piercing the air was as sharp as if it were solid. Lang Yu felt as though the world around him had plunged into total darkness in an instant, with only the brilliant light of that arrow remaining—it seemed that no matter which way he turned, it was aimed directly at his brow.

"Then... shall we engrave the Child of Wealth under the full moon?" The old man stared sharply at Duan Lang.

"I am Xue Ye, sent here by the Supreme to convey his imperial decree," Xue Ye said, his voice as flat and emotionless as ever, his heart as tranquil as stagnant water.

What was most maddening was that Long Xiaotian could not even discern who had unleashed that blade of light.

On this day, Wuming was staying with his foster father, Long Qianzhang, and the others. Being reunited with family made Wuming feel as though a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and his heart no longer felt so weary.

The attacks of the Seven Demons were clearly far more powerful now, and this evil soul-snatching technique was impossible to defend against. The protections of the Array Sect’s secret realm collapsed instantly. From the deep chasm in Luming Mountain, black smoke began to billow upward.

It was too empty here, so empty that it felt eerie to Shen Jun. Her stomach had been growling for a while, but looking around, she saw not a single household, nor a wisp of cooking smoke.

Seeing Lin Xiaohuan’s aggrieved expression, the flame of irritation in Wei Yefeng’s heart was instantly extinguished. He pulled her tightly into his arms, his voice softening considerably.

However, she was worrying unnecessarily; by the time Ye Shaoxuan reached the Imperial Wasteland, everyone who needed to know already knew.

Lin Xiaohuan had no patience for this. "What on earth did you put in there! It’s burning me!" Her voice was a bit hoarse, yet it could not mask the anger in her tone.

Then, she formed a seal with her hands, casting a supreme divine charm. An ancient book radiating sacred light appeared in her hands before flying toward Ye Shaoxuan.

"No... don't go! Stop!" Within the space of his mind, Shenxing Wuji felt as if he were locked inside his own brain. No matter how much he wailed or raved, he could not regain control of his body.

The newspapers Chen Yi had brought home a while ago contained reports on online dating. He had only glanced at them at the time, but now, every detail flooded back into his mind.

Perhaps it was fate, but just as Lawyer Wang was about to take the stage to announce that all of Old Man Wei’s assets would be donated, Lin Xiaohuan’s note arrived unexpectedly.

She clenched her hand subconsciously. It felt as if a heavy weight were pulling at her heart, leaving her indecisive; she knew her resolve was wavering.

Behind him, a member of the Giant Bear squad shouted and pulled the trigger of his machine gun at Lin Yong! The surrounding gunners all leveled their heavy weapons and unleashed a hail of fire at him.

As for Yao Dongzi at that moment? He had no idea he had become the center of attention. He was simply running with all his might, and because this was his first time running in the "normal mode" of his shoes, he had no confidence that he would place in the race.
