Chapter 68: You Are Forever My Pride

The Chen family.

Chen Yinghao had already returned to normal.

Coronary heart disease was just like this; when it was not acting up, the patient was just like anyone else, but when an attack struck, it was myocardial infarction, threatening life at any moment.

"This is an ailment I was born with. Fortunately, it wasn't passed down to Qingshu," Chen Yinghao sighed with emotion.

Mentioning Chen Qingshu, he could not help but sigh again. "Yili, what has Qingshu gone off to do?"

"What else could he be doing?" Liu Yili held Li Fang's hand. "He went to fawn over Zhang Xiaoqing, and he hasn't come back yet."

These words carried a deep sense of resentment.

His own father had almost lost his life, yet the son was still lingering around a woman.

Chen Yinghao gave a cold snort. "The Zhang family is getting more and more outrageous. A car? What are they even thinking? Don't even dream about it!"

"She is hardly worthy of asking for a car..."

Although Ming Changxi did not know what he would be doing when he descended the mountain next, he had a vague feeling that he would never be able to stay on Yunhai Peak as before and practice cultivation with dedicated effort.

If offering strategies and advice was due to cleverness, then the words Lily spoke now showed more insight and a grand perspective.

"Whatever works. When we eat later, you must maintain absolute calm," Song Yuxin said with a smile, which faintly gave Zhang Mi a sense of anticipation.

"As expected of the cultivation base of the fifth layer of Qi Refining, truly formidable!" The crystal in Li Sui's hand dissipated into thin air shortly after. He opened his eyes, and his gaze was exceptionally bright.

As could be seen, no matter how tender and affectionate Su Mengdie was, the man remained as detached and indifferent to worldly desires as ever.

Qin Zhao looked at Mu Fandi, who was lying on the soft couch at that moment, lost in obsessive self-talk, with her bare shoulders exposed and tossing and turning restlessly.

On the contrary, Xie Changxuan lay on the sofa, using his phone to check the live security footage of his home. Watching Gu Qingyu bustling about busily from room to room, his eyes were filled with deep tenderness and heartache. Whenever he saw Gu Qingyu staring blankly in a daze, he would frown from time to time.

He saw a flash of disdainful smile curl the corners of the man's lips. Suddenly, he made his move—striking later yet arriving first, simply tossing out two breezy slaps that landed almost instantaneously on the fists of the two men.

"You... what are you doing?" Gu Qingyu defensively wrapped her arms around herself, the blush on her cheeks spreading all the way down to the root of her neck.

When the group arrived at the buffet restaurant on the third floor, viewers through the livestream discovered to their astonishment that there were actually two separate dining halls here.

The audience below fell into a silent hush. It had to be said that the integrity and earnestness of the older generation commanded the respect of everyone.

Amidst the white icy dust and snow mist blasted open by the freezing energy, wisps of wildly dancing electric arcs splattered through the air. The cyan electric arcs illuminated the ice and snow, dyeing the shattering ice crystals and snow powder in a brilliant, breathtaking display of dazzling beauty.

Because of witchcraft, the human race was able to subjugate all other races and stand at the pinnacle of all living beings, thereby earning the qualification to contend against the chaotic secret arts and even defeat the Chaos Clan.

After all, Hanyi had come today carrying the task assigned by the Empress Dowager, and she did not wish to stir up extra trouble. Besides, seeing Xue Baochai's words and actions, they were vastly different from when they had last met.

For a moment, Qilu and Zhier were so moved they did not know what to say. Who wouldn't want to be the master of their own household? Yet, they were somewhat reluctant to part with Daiyu. Just as they were about to speak, Daiyu preemptively interrupted, "Could it be that you two won't come to see me in the future?" Only then did Qilu and Zhier break into smiles.

The two figures were striking: one shrouded in black mist and exceptionally eerie, the other radiating an intense, blinding golden light that made it impossible to look directly at them. No matter how one looked at them, they were clearly not ordinary mortals, resembling instead figures from myths and legends of immortals.

"This is my Thunder Root, the most powerful secret technique of our clan—the Hidden Thunder Art. As long as I plant my Thunder Root inside the opponent's body, once I detonate it, the interior of the opponent's body will be blasted into nothingness!" Chu Mucheng patiently explained the Hidden Thunder Art.

Luo Sujuan affectionately tidied up Daiyu's neat hair bun, straightened her hairpin, stood up, and holding Daiyu's hand, led her to Old Madame Huang's room.

However, these people were like flies that could not be shaken off, driving him to the limit of exasperation. It was about time to teach them a lesson so they would know to retreat in the face of difficulty.

"Just keep heading south. Cross the sea and you will reach Jambudvipa. Zhaomeng Mountain is very easy to find," the scholar said honestly. When he looked up, the figure in front of him had already vanished, leaving him to let out a long sigh of relief, drenched in cold sweat.

"Cultivation here requires sect contribution points. Didn't the senior disciples who showed you around the outer sect tell you?" The senior disciple finally started answering Zhou Tian's questions.

Seeing her like this made Chen Shu angry. Coupled with how amusing her face looked right then, Chen Shu softened his footsteps, walked over, and slapped the back of his hand heavily against her face.

Chen Shu twitched the corners of his mouth into a smile, but without interrupting her, he quietly listened to her muttering while casting his gaze toward the swing.

For a moment, Ziling actually did not dare to move, because she was unsure whether the Heavenly Eagle had discovered her. If he had uncovered her intentions, she might never be allowed to stay by his side again.

"Jesla's token, the key to the Wolf clan's secret passage." After Ouyang Jue returned to our side, he told us the names of the two items with an expression of astonishment.

It swept over his hands, watching his purple flames wrap around Xiao Yuan's body bit by bit. If outsiders were to see this, they would certainly mistake it for a kind of Heavenly Flame.

Zhang Yogurt turned her head away and stopped talking to Zuoyou, vowing silently to herself that she would not say a single word for the entire evening.

The Pope, currently existing in the form of a "Dragon Heart," was the only one who could use the "Anti-Electron" power possessed by Luo to trace the network cables and completely purge this data. Even if the Bad Sun exerted its utmost effort to tear it apart, it could only kill the dragon of Happiness Island and cause Happiness Island to plummet right then and there.

The unprepared Shiny Charizard was hit square-on by the Magmar. Flung against the wall by the impact, the Shiny Charizard slammed into the hard surface and let out a cry of agony.

Lan Rongyue closed her eyes slightly. After years of following him, she ultimately was unwilling to believe that the person who betrayed her was him, yet now it had been proven with crystal clarity.

Loud explosions rang out one after another. The giant boulders failed to withstand the force and burst apart entirely. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, shattered sharp energies surged, and the lingering momentum of the spiritual seals struck the monks, causing the Eighteen Arhats to suffer bone fractures and injuries of varying degrees. Some broke their arms or legs, while others suffered broken ribs, all of them tumbling down from the bronze cymbals like dumplings boiling in a pot.
