Chapter 59: I Will Make You Pay

Wang Xia and Wang Zhen stepped out of Wang Peng's house. The dark night felt even deeper than when they had arrived, and Wang Zhen could not help feeling afraid.

The two sisters walked hand in hand, trembling as they returned home.

The main room's light suddenly switched on, and Wang Song opened the door. "You're back? Did Wang Peng give you any money?"

"No!" Wang Xia replied in a small, trembling voice.

"Really none?" Wang Song said. "Does Wang Peng care nothing about whether you live or die? You aren't lying to me, are you?"

"No, how could we dare lie to you?" Wang Zhen hastily denied.

"Hmph!" Wang Song sneered. "I'd wager you wouldn't dare."

Creak—the door of the main room closed once again.

Wang Song turned off the electric light, took off his shoes, and went to bed.

He was not afraid that the two...

Ouyang Tian also knew that time was running out and he had to hurry up and break the formation; whoever could obtain more tokens of the Metal Spirit Realm would be the ultimate winner.

Fortunately, Bufan did not keep the apostles waiting for long. Shortly after everyone returned to the border city, Bufan concluded his seclusion and appeared before the apostles. When the apostles saw Bufan again, they all noticed that his presence felt distinctly different.

"Heh, I'm not continuing this instance dungeon. You're changing it to cleared for me right now." Luo Yu sneered, plopped down onto the ground, refusing to move, and began to throw a tantrum.

However, Su Xiao'er did not see it that way. She knew what kind of status He Chuan held, and she had always deeply admired him, earnestly hoping that He Chuan would accept her invitation.

Looking at He Chuan's departing figure, Wang Haisheng let out a deep sigh. Although he desperately wanted to say more to He Chuan, he knew very well that at this point, no matter what else he said, it would be of no use. Rather than lingering, it was better to head back and rest first.

He Chuan paused for a moment. Figuring that this fellow had hung up on him earlier and was calling back now, there must be some matter he needed to discuss.

Earlier, Chu Qi had tried to take advantage of the Crown Prince's critical illness, exploiting the fact that the Crown Princess, as the Crown Prince's wedded wife, had invited Zhou Dingfang to provide treatment, hoping to exploit a loophole.

Like falling rain, tears streamed down Su Ziqin's cheeks, dripping onto her deep purple brocade gown. In just a moment, a large patch of the bodice, embroidered with double-petaled peonies, was soaked through. Li Longshou abruptly pulled her into an embrace, pressing his chin against her forehead as if he wanted to embed her deeply into his very bones.

His words left Madam Yang feeling a lingering sense of fear. The Duke of Ying was unlike the hereditary nobles of his own age; he was a man who had truly engaged in ruthless, cutthroat business.

During this period, Ye Yunshui entered the palace twice. The Empress Dowager's constitution had stabilized somewhat thanks to that potent medicine. The Third Uncle's Wife had only visited once, dropping off some seasonal fruits for Ye Yunshui before not showing up again.

Feng Qinglang found it difficult to discern the passage of time. Perhaps ten years had passed, or perhaps twenty, but he knew that this kind of temporal flow operated under entirely different rules and concepts from the time he was originally familiar with.

Seohyun smiled and tightened her grip on the hand she had slipped into Han Myung-jin's pocket, pointing to the side. "Let's go walk over there. I used to see a lot of students going that way, but I never had the time." Han Myung-jin didn't say anything, simply walking along beside Seohyun.

"No!" This batch of students consisted of people from the late sixties and early seventies; having received a traditional education, they were extremely obedient. The moment Chen Zhixin asked, everyone shouted in unison.

Moreover, Second Madam Ou wanted to protect the family's reputation from damage and desired domestic tranquility. With just a slight hint from Mrs. Wu, Lin Qingmei not only kept the third branch in the dark but also caused discord in the fourth branch, which would inevitably touch Second Madam Ou's bottom line. No matter what, she would find a way to resolve this matter.

"What is going on!" A stern voice rang out from upstairs, and shortly after, a middle-aged man appeared at the top of the stairs.

"It's fine, go ahead and speak. I've cast a barrier. Whatever we do or say, people outside can neither see nor hear," I said, easing his worries while issuing a covert threat.

Upon entering Yangzhou City, Shi Bin was completely dumbfounded. Broad, bustling avenues stretched out to his left and right, leaving him utterly clueless about which way to go.

"Will it breach the dikes?" Ever since she arrived in Water City, Mingfei had never heard of river dikes being breached, but judging by what Gong Yuanhe had told her a few days ago, it seemed things might actually be troublesome this year.

Monroda hastily led his men over, unaware of what had happened. Easy Wind walked out of the pyramid and waved into the distance.

Just as Chen Xi had previously belonged to the undisputed supreme leader, they knew very well that only by gaining the explicit support of the God Race could they have sufficient confidence to become the new high-ranking echelon of the Federation. Conversely, no matter how loudly they shouted or how much they managed to control the actual combat power of the United Fleet, they would never win recognition from the Federation people.

"Snap!" Before the words had even faded, the shadow clone possessing Orochimaru's consciousness had already brought its hands together, finishing the hand seals.

Hearing the people above confirm Qin Tian's identity, Wang Zhigang finally relaxed. He gave Qin Tian a very proper military salute, his expression extremely respectful, though he kept muttering inwardly.

Fisher stared blankly at the faction leaders lying horizontally across the ground. Even though his consciousness had recovered from the preceding events, his entire body still retained a detached, floating sensation toward the world, as if everything had become completely unreal.

Hearing this, Zhou Lü sneered, while Lu Su's expression flickered with a mix of shock and anger. Seeing this, Taishi Ci secretly cried out in dismay; by saying this, didn't Sun Quan intend to pre-emptively pin the guilt on the two of them before any negotiations even took place?

With another loud crash, something was fired from the yacht, followed immediately by an explosion on the shore.

He held the silver sword horizontally across his chest in a defensive posture, then shouted commands frantically, shifting his armor from an acceleration state to a protective state.

"Such a hassle. I think it's pretty good to just lead the troops out and confront them head-on. Who knows, maybe they'll be scared off by our fearless momentum," Chi Honglu said somewhat impatiently.

"Where did these four blades come from? Such a high level of technological proficiency shouldn't have existed back then. Aeifor was highly developed, but it couldn't produce weapons like this," Valikama asked.

Sure enough, localized object time reversal was completely useless for someone who was already dead. It could only repair a person's physical structural tissues, but it could not genuinely bring someone who was completely dead back to life.

Of course, this was also because he had arrived too late; with the college entrance examination imminent, the students were basically eating in the cafeteria to save time for reviewing their lessons.
