37. The Man-Eating House (Thirty-Four)

Her head grew heavier, and she felt as if her body were in a state of perpetual descent. The sensation of weightlessness jolted her awake. Xie Rao sat up in a panic and called toward the door, "Mom, I'm so thirsty."

"Is Yaoyao missing Brother Fei again?" Wu Fei gently pinched Su Jingyao's chin, leaning in closer.

"Lady Yaoguang, please stop tormenting Xuan'er," Xiao Jianxi said, pulling Yaoguang’s hand away with visible dissatisfaction.

Shen Beichuan ignored her, and she certainly wouldn't lower herself to seek his attention. She was far too busy with her studies and exams to care about his feelings.

Shao Erzhen ducked into an alleyway, intending to steal something to eat, when an old man followed him and uttered a strange remark.

"Being held captive at the Lian Family Manor, their lives are not in danger." Shen Congwei turned to look at Zhang Qingzhi, and only upon seeing that her expression remained unchanged did he feel relieved.

"We cannot rely solely on this old man's word without evidence; we must investigate further!" Huang Xiujuan insisted.

Once everyone reached a consensus, they worked together to move the table outside into the courtyard. As summer arrived, they lit mosquito coils to ward off the insects.

The next day, the housing Xiao Jiu had rented was finalized for move-in. Xiao Jiu was generous, purchasing everything Granny Zhao needed without hesitation.

With Boss Jiang helping Meng Yue in Ningcheng, any issue could be resolved, ensuring that the position of President of the Northwest Entrepreneurs' Association would remain secure.

If she were truly afraid, she would focus all her energy on dealing with them, which would inadvertently cause her to neglect other matters, making it easier for them to act behind her back.

This was not the kind of resurrection that only required a lingering breath; it was a true return from the dead—the kind where even if the spark of life had completely vanished from the body, it could still be reclaimed.

"I believe I saw a Cloud-Ascension Realm phantom wolf; if I'm not mistaken, that must be the Phantom Wolf King!" Mo Feng was certain that the wolf was a beast of king-level status. He was not bold enough to challenge a Wolf King just yet; his first priority was to familiarize himself with the abilities of the phantom wolves.

I sighed, then walked over to pick her up. My younger sister took this opportunity to continue clinging to me, refusing to let go.

"Reborn Lu Bu Unifies the Three Kingdoms, Chapter 750: Facing Assassination." Lu Bu, however, was an incredibly confident man; he did not believe that the Jia family could stir up any major trouble under his watch.

Well, life is truly full of ups and downs. Having just crippled the Radiant Council and sent the Sanctuary's authority soaring to its peak, was it all about to be destroyed?

"Theoretically, it should be possible. But we must be careful in our choice of engineers; otherwise, we might end up buried alive before the base is even built," Tortoise Shell said with a laugh.

"Hmph!" Ephie, standing nearby, let out a scoff. Jiang Feng sheepishly released Eludy's wrist and asked, his expression turning serious, "Why can I go out, but you cannot?"

"You pervert." Clanking Rose's ample chest rose and fell rapidly, drawing the gaze of the other three contestants.

Josh Smith, who had left the game early in the first quarter, returned at the start of the second to lead the reserve players in pressuring the Cavaliers' bench defense.

Ni Siyu was so focused on charging that she never expected the umbrella to trigger the Red Leaves. By the time she tried to dodge, it was already too late.

"Lord Bell, everything is ready here," Lily said, adjusting the shoulder straps of her large backpack.

She only needed to hold one ceremony in the Imperial Capital, inviting everyone she wanted to see and everyone who truly wished her well, and then return to Lancheng to hold another, inviting all those tiresome relatives—wouldn't that be just fine?

Time passed until wisps of smoke rose from the verdant green. Xiao Bing knew she had finally encountered people and might even find Xiao Ying.

At the P-City Glass Group, Qin Mengxue took charge of emergency scheduling, and everyone was working frantically, while things were no less intense at the Damu Group.

"Don't worry too much; good people have their own good fortunes, and cousin will be fine!" Mu Ziyu comforted Huo Yanjue.

When the distance between Dugu Yehuo and Dabai reached a critical point, she pushed off with her toes, lunged forward, and lashed out with the whip in her hand.

Fang Cheng had been drinking water, but as she looked up and saw him, she choked in her nervousness, coughing twice in succession.

As they spoke, Sinon finally walked over to join them. As for the bow she carried on her back, it was said to belong to no one in the town, so everyone had taken the liberty of gifting it to her.

The next moment, the entire blue cavern became agitated. Following this, the lotus monsters that had previously retreated and vanished surged out from their hidden corners, transforming into face-hugger-like shapes, leaping and bounding as they swarmed toward Zhao Han's location.

With a single punch, he smashed the fire ghost into the ground. The flames vanished, and in the deep crater lay a round object, its blood-red eye staring at Tang Xinyu in terror.

Feeling Shao Zhen's intense resistance, Zhao Han raised an eyebrow, a cold sneer appearing on his face. With a stir of his spirit and the activation of the Gu curse, Shao Zhen's expression changed instantly. He turned deathly pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead and cheeks, as if he were enduring immense agony.

At that moment, a young man with snow-white hair appeared on the battlefield and caught Ali's falling body. In his eyes, there was only one word: "Cold."

"Actually, it's quite good. I've gained experience and harvested so many precious medicinal herbs," Ming Xuan thought, shifting his perspective to become more optimistic.

Zhao Han, disguised as Zheng Yanghong, exchanged silent glances with the other four. Their faces were filled with resentment; clearly, they still harbored a grudge against Mo Yaoguang for abandoning them in the heat of battle.
