Chapter 52: Your Daughter Is Not Dead

Anyway, the shrimp pond was right below the stone cave, so Yu Jinzhen had her three younger brothers recite the multiplication table while helping her keep watch.

She, along with her foster parents, set about preparing the food.

Madam Liu had missed out on too many delicacies before, so Yu Jinzhen decided to have hotpot again tonight.

Now that she was a divine envoy, she no longer feared that having a crowd of people around would arouse anyone's jealousy.

Upon hearing that they were going to have hotpot, the children were filled with eager anticipation.

Madam Liu looked at the children and...

"Well then, let's see what is inside. Needless to say, it's another text message box." Su Qi remembered that last time at the Death Academy, he had fought his way from the second floor to the fourth floor just to charge his phone and gather intelligence; once again, he was extracting intelligence from a mobile phone.

A faint aura materialized on his fingertip. This aura did not resemble spiritual energy, as there was nothing it could possibly trigger, nor was it the physical aura of any living entity; it felt entirely illusory.

The five of them were the only Immortal Stars that had retained their own spiritual awareness, and the only ones who had successfully cultivated split spirits and avatars. What they had left behind in the Realm of Wind and Moon were avatars controlled by those split spirits.

Only when the Chaos Box opened once again and dropped its second divine stardust treasure would he be able to sense the location of the Chaos Box once more. He had waited for an entire lifetime and had already given up hope, yet unexpectedly, just as he was abandoning himself to despair, this Chaos Box had finally been unearthed.

After these people closed the distance a little further, Fortress Number One opened fire directly as a warning, instantly shocking all the martial artists into submission. After all, tonight in Nanhua City, an intense battle could erupt anywhere, and any given clash might give rise to unexpected tragedies.

Now he was even more certain that Xiao Wuxie could lead him to take that crucial step forward; he believed that his own judgment could not possibly be wrong.

Although he did not yet know where exactly they should go, this place was certainly not somewhere to linger, and leaving first was undoubtedly the right choice.

The old crone spoke in a low voice, showing not the slightest bit of concern for the deceased Ye Xuan'er, who had merely served as a stepping stone for others.

Upon closer inspection, the sharp dragon claws of the Azure Abyss Black Dragon were still slowly dripping blood, looking immensely ferocious and terrifying.

"Hehe, hehe." The grandmaster of the primordial spirit, known as the 'Gloomy and Fierce Ghost Dao,' let out a cold chuckle, flicking his fingernails while spiritual fires danced wildly in his eyes as he incessantly glanced at the Dragon-Subduing Spiritual Venerable, who was heavily guarded by several primordial spirit grandmasters.

After a while, Zhu Qihua prepared roasted meat and hotpot for her. As Peach Blossom ate, she suddenly realized that she had left Peach Tiezhu behind in the real world.

Those spider demons, who should naturally have been adversaries, found it hard to suppress the turmoil in their hearts as they cast their gazes one after another toward the pristine white hunting robe fluttering in the air. They could hear the frictional sound of the hunting robe brushed by the greedy evening wind, its white wings unfurling against the gale and shimmering with a rippling, faint light.

Eight spiritual artifacts lay on the ground; even though they were merely lower-grade spiritual artifacts, they were dazzling enough to blind all the elders with awe.

He had just finished the national college entrance examination and entered university, naively thinking he had escaped the bitter sea of test-oriented education where he had to study by himself every day. Yet, seeing these third- and fourth-year seniors still looking disheveled and attending self-study sessions, he could not help but feel a twinge of emotion.

Xiao Tao pinched the cuff of Lu Jin's suit with two fingers of one hand, while waving goodbye to Xia Wenyu with the other.

The borderlands and the market towns near the border did not need to open only once every ten days; instead, catering to the family cultivators who hunted demonic beasts in large numbers, they opened every single day. Naturally, the garrison security personnel stationed at these markets were also several times more numerous than those in inland market towns.

In the final freeze frame, Xiao Tao happened to be facing the seat where Lu Jin was sitting, and her concluding performance seemed almost like a vent of emotions directed straight at him.

Time ticked away second by second, and that pillar of golden light over Taihu Lake began to wane before finally dissipating altogether.

Xiao Tao disliked this feeling of resentment mingled with a sense of loss, yet with no alternative, she could only accept it with helpless resignation.

The Japanese adult entertainment industry possessed numerous jargon terms known only to insiders to represent various boundaries and services. For example, *honban* referred to acts where penetration was permitted, *soguta* meant it was prohibited, *NK-style* referred to oral services, *AF* meant taking the backdoor route to bypass the legal restrictions, alongside various others born from intense competition like the so-called *NS*.
