Chapter 33: Delivering Food

Wang Peng’s head was buzzing after Chen Qingshu handpicked him to be the class monitor. Still, there were perks to the position; Chen had quietly told him that he could leave class without needing to ask for leave. The classroom was exceptionally quiet as the students previewed their lessons. Li Mengjiao whispered, careful not to disturb the others, as she explained the math problems Wang Peng had gotten wrong on the diagnostic test. At nine o'clock, the evening study hall bell rang. Li Mengjiao, Wang Peng, and Du Lei, who were day students, prepared to leave. The other students didn't seem to hear the bell; they remained unmoved, heads buried in their studies. Wang Peng scratched his head—was this elite class really that intense? The crux of the matter was that studying late at night wasn't even efficient. If you don't rest well at night, the next day is... Although Xia Haitong wanted to ask more, the nurse said she had work to do and told her that if she only wanted to visit Xia Xueqing, she could leave the hospital now. If one were to use a single phrase to describe Sihu’s mood after this, it would truly be "parting the clouds to see the bright moon." With closed eyes, Jie Yun slowly nodded, muttering to himself, "So that’s how it is. My, what grand ambitions. This..." Jie Yun jolted awake, looking at Xiao Yan with confusion before glancing at the surrounding instruments. Jun He said nothing more; he had never truly seen Chu Tao so beyond angry, so he simply let him be. "Excuse me, are you Ling Yu, captain of the Wild Team?" the man asked as soon as he entered, his eyes fixed on Ling Yu. This happened half a month ago. She had originally thought Ye Xueying’s invitation was merely a pretext and that the person she truly wanted to see was Ye Chengzhi. However, Ye Xueying had told her never to mention this to Ye Chengzhi, adding that she had something important to discuss with her in private. Exiting the secret passage, they reached a long mountain path where a carriage was waiting. He took her hand, helped her inside, and they drove off toward the outskirts.

That night, after sending Meng Zhu to the hospital, Yi Lin asked her to return to the Young Marshal's mansion to fetch some things for Meng Zhu, but she was detained by Situ Xiao’s personal guard. Situ Xiao interrogated her himself, yet no matter how she defended herself, he refused to believe her. She suddenly noticed a brief moment of gentle clarity in his gaze, but it vanished instantly, replaced by his usual cold, emotionless stare. This was the first group adventure since the new Starlight Mercenary Group was formed, and they were hunting a seventh-rank magical beast—a highly commemorative event for everyone involved. It was now evident that the entire Demon Kingdom was truly incompetent when it came to formations. The referee’s view had indeed been partially obstructed; without the aid of video replay technology, one could understand why he thought the play was a legal block. However, his refusal to consult the VAR in a controversial situation was arguably unfair. Zhang Yiming caught a whiff of the fragrance and couldn't help but feel refreshed; it was no wonder Lin Chengzhi wanted to play out an office roleplay in broad daylight. "Does he really see through my ninjutsu? How is that possible! It must be a lie!" Guren thought to herself. With a shrill cry, Kaguya felt the terrifying Yin-Yang force instantly seal her powers. Yet, Sasuke showed no joy; instead, he looked at the shattered crystal not far away. As he spoke, Zhang Yiming used the Ghost Physician’s Thirteen Needles to stop Hou Yu’s bleeding. Fortunately, the two shots had only grazed his skin and hadn't hit any bones; such minor injuries were nothing to Hou Yu. Since these people could only remain within the fiefdom of the royal domain after leaving the city, Wei Wuji had simply brought them back to bolster his own ranks. "Really?" Nakagawa Ranko’s eyes flickered with suspicion as she eyed the lecherous face of Oono Takeo askance. Naruto and Sasuke, however, had no reaction at all, as if Kakashi’s death had nothing to do with them. Haruna produced a chainsaw from out of nowhere—the reason for saying it like that was because there had been nowhere on her person to store a chainsaw before. Over a thousand people soared into the air, pulling out all the stops, flying toward the distant horizon like a thousand heavenly steeds. Lang Qi nodded firmly; through the Main God, he had confirmed the star level of the monster before them. Perhaps due to the Demon King’s power, he was the only one in the group completely unaffected by the monster’s oppressive aura.

The solar furnace behind the Infinite Justice Gundam began to disperse green GN particles, and the unit slowly lifted from the ground. Although having its clones join the battle would be slightly troublesome, Xing Shazhen felt it was not yet beyond his ability to handle, as he had his own trump cards. The monkey looked on with envy, reaching up to touch his own eyes, his heart pounding with excitement. At the current pace of the Azure Emperor Palace, heaven knows when the eastern Primordial lands would be unified. If that happened, their threats would be completely useless, and they might even end up thoroughly offending the Azure Emperor Palace, a loss that far outweighed any gain. A massive hand descended from the sky; the Demon Emperor’s true form couldn't even offer resistance before being slapped directly. Qin Haonan hadn't expected Linglong to sing on cue. Seeing Yao Ruoxi beside him looking quite content, he looked up at the moon and let her rest her head on his shoulder. Dozens of sharp willow-leaf flying daggers shot from his sleeves, sealing off the heavens and earth in a dense swarm. The manager turned to him and smiled amiably, "Apologies, sir, these are exclusive to Mandu and are one-of-a-kind; they are not for sale." Star Brilliance Residence was indeed the finest place in the Su estate. It had originally been where the ancestor lived, but for some reason, the ancestor had suddenly moved out and built a separate courtyard nearby to live in. Seeing this, Dou Qingrou wanted to run; she wasn't skilled in martial arts, and though she called for help, no one came. If she didn't run, both she and Nanny Zhuang would lose their lives here. "Falling from such a height, she should end up crippled, right?" On the other side of the arena, Lou Xinyu leaned against the entrance of the lounge, squinting at Qiao Ruoyin, who was flying high in the distance, a triumphant smile on her lips. Sakai never expected Yue Ren to smash the ball directly at him. Facing the fierce attack, in his panic, he could only raise his right hand to shield his face. Jiro and Kabaji returned to the resting area—or more accurately, Kabaji had lifted Jiro into the resting area with one hand.
