Volume 1, Chapter 24: A Little Joy, That Will Do

Hearing the affirmation again, Mo Shang was so overjoyed that he completely failed to notice the fleeting smirk on Mo Xing’s face.

Tian Tian buried her face in the quilt to secretly wipe away the moisture in her eyes. After taking a few deep breaths to compose herself, she looked toward Qing Qianjun and Lang Wu, who were watching her with concern.

“Really? Senior Sister, are you telling the truth?” Ji Hongyi, whose heart had been filled with panic, felt his eyes light up at Mu Wanqing’s words, as if he had grasped a lifeline in his despair.

An Muxi brushed past his shoulder and walked straight toward the entrance of the police station. Yet, the moment her back was turned to Li Shiyu, the tears she had been holding back finally streamed down her face.

“What, you can’t deny it, so you want to resort to violence?” The young president of Qingshui felt a tremor in his heart and could not help but take a step back.

Fortunately, Ye Ziqing had come; although she had to leave midway, they had at least enjoyed a brief moment of happiness.

In contrast, the business at the grain shop in front was surprisingly bustling with onlookers. Seeing this, Li Hongmei’s heart skipped a beat.

However, once Wang Haichao arrived later and learned the entire process, he immediately reported it to Mo Li point by point.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t be so bitter. This young master is just explaining things out of boredom! As for the appearance, well!” Liu Daiyi toyed with the green bamboo flute in his hand and said in an infuriating tone.

Thus, the two began a life of endless wandering on Venus, determined to walk across every inch of land, not even missing a single crater.

“You should just get some good rest. My illness this time is a blessing in disguise; it seems we won’t have to undergo military training for a long time.” Yang Xiaofan lay weakly on the hospital bed. Although his eyes were open, they were barely slits, and he could only judge the presence of others by the sound of their voices.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in Zhou Lin’s mind, and it was moving away from his current location, though it vanished the very next second.

But she had no time to ask what major event had occurred, for the preparatory bell had already rung, and she sat back down in her seat obediently.

The three followed the main group, chatting along the way, and learned that this unit was a resource transport detachment from City 98. Their leader, Wu Qi, was a peak Golden Realm cultivator.

Although her initial goal was to frame Ye Zhixing and blow the matter out of proportion—believing that Lin Lili’s father, who was no pushover, would handle her—even though Ye Zhixing had saved Lin Lili, Lin Lili would certainly not let the matter rest.

Ye Zexi felt pathetic; he was the older brother, so why did he need his younger sister to comfort him?

They wanted him and all the townspeople to perish here, not only to eliminate him but also to use the opportunity to impeach the Marquis of Yunbo. What a clever scheme. Unfortunately, they had miscalculated: his blood had ruined their plan. Not only was he not poisoned, but he had used his blood to suppress the toxins in others.

Within seconds, the monster was engulfed by flames, turning into ash that drifted into the air before falling back down onto the other monsters.

I led the last of humanity’s hope in a counterattack against the mutants, expanding our territory step by step. Because of my existence, the mutants could no longer easily tread upon our land—perhaps because I could easily pierce the giants’ skin.

He sent everyone out to facilitate their conversation; You Yu truly was not used to his former friends calling him "Your Holiness" at every turn.

However, the tens of thousands of troops behind them also set up camp, forming a massive arc that cleverly surrounded them.

Their thoughts were hollow, devoid of moral values or any fear of deities. The Chinese people believe that any means beneficial to themselves are correct.

Seeing himself retreating repeatedly, Yelu Yun steeled his heart and split his focus in two: one part to wield his spear and the other to drive the power of the Immortal Jade. This way, he could concentrate on exerting both.

Du Lianqiuyu and Fei’er looked at each other. Then, Du Lianqiuyu nodded at Fei’er.

Time was like a speeding arrow, slipping away into nothingness before one could even notice.

Coming from a good background with a high starting point, its strength was naturally formidable. Moreover, unlike other monsters, this Sand King possessed high intelligence and unparalleled combat experience, making it exceptionally difficult to deal with.

Chen Yongfu thought to himself that the Prince must have followed the plan to launch a sneak attack on the Jin captives and seize Beijing. Now that the Jin captives had stabilized, they were immediately launching a counterattack. The Prince had only 100,000 troops, and the city walls were already riddled with cracks from heavy artillery fire during the recent fierce battles; he feared they would not be able to hold out for long.

She bit her lip, struggled for a moment in her heart, and replied, “Yes.” This was the path she had chosen, and she would naturally follow it to the end.

It was fortunate that Commander Caesar was so eloquent; with such a simple turn of phrase, he cleared Shen Lan of any suspicion of showing off and at least relieved some of his psychological burden—though, of course, it also forced Shen Lan into a position where he had to speak.

Hua Chen watched the twenty-plus-zhang-deep pit nervously. He had a premonition that the young man would not die.

Mu Yueting was also quite distressed by this, yet he never once considered giving up alchemy because of it. It seemed he had no choice but to compromise.

He had endured for a thousand years, and having finally overcome that internal hurdle to summon the courage to see her and reintroduce himself, he only wanted to be the big brother who protected her. Yet, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of her before she disappeared just like that.

Dark magical energy surged from his body, swirling around Luo Tian to cleanse the bloodstains from his skin.

With a single conviction, the process of everything became less tedious and no longer important.

“Actually, you are all wrong. Your Father God’s guess was correct. The Cultivation World is far from as weak as you perceive it to be. The peak experts hidden within it could destroy the Mihualuo Realm with a wave of their hands. Therefore, I do not care—and cannot control—whether God attacks the Cultivation World, but I will not allow him to destroy my homeland, Earth!” Xiao Yiyun declared.
