29. The Protective Jade Pendant

“Greetings, Family Head!” He Feng Yilang, He Feng Yezi, and Qianye You Shu stepped forward at the same time, each dropping to one knee and bowing respectfully.

Everyone could understand Xiao Guorui’s feelings, but for a grand company president to personally serve someone tea was indeed an extraordinary gesture of respect.

The Fatty paid no attention whatsoever to the witches and demons who had rushed over. What he had been waiting for all along was that fellow Luo Hou. Since he had fallen into such a predicament, there was no reason for Luo Hou not to come and stir things up. Old Luo would never pass up such a perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

“Not good! The earth dragon is turning over. Is that… a high-tier level-five monster?” the old System man cried out in astonishment within the Fatty’s consciousness.

“That is precisely what I intend—to make it come to nothing.” After saying this, Sun Quan ordered his men to prepare horses, then led his personal guards toward the ferry. Seeing this, Lu Su followed closely behind, thinking to himself: If my lord goes to Lujiang to demand an explanation, Gongjin will surely lose all faith in Jiangdong. If he retires, who will command Jiangdong’s armies?

“Father, Mother, I’m home.” The Fatty felt somewhat agitated. Since the apocalypse began, he had been rushing about constantly, so busy that he had unconsciously neglected his parents’ feelings. A son traveling far from home always left his mother anxious—let alone now, in an apocalypse overrun with zombies and monsters. His parents must have been terribly worried about him.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” The fireballs skimmed past Moonshadow Kui without causing the slightest injury. Uchiha Sasuke had never expected this attack to hurt his opponent. His body shot rapidly into the air as he raised a kunai and charged at Moonshadow Kui.

Strange. Why was there no sound? At the foot of the tower just now, I clearly heard someone calling out to me.

Claudia’s body was enveloped in green radiance, and her vitality steadily recovered. After a few breaths, her body was once again brimming with life.

At the same moment, five extraordinarily powerful Mahayana Venerables attacked Xiao Cheng together. Blinding light filled the heavens as the trajectories of the five attacks converged upon a single point on Xiao Cheng. Their vast and terrifying power rendered the entire space wildly unstable, sending layers of spatial ripples outward. The overwhelming killing intent made it difficult for anyone to breathe.

When the words fell, all three men—including Fat Dragon—stood there in stunned silence. Even Fat Dragon lowered his head awkwardly, the corner of his mouth twitching. For a man as thick-skinned as he was, he felt rather embarrassed at that moment.

The scrape of shoe soles against the ground rang out, and two men in black appeared. One was tall, with silver hair and a black overcoat. The other wore a black suit and the same black top hat.

This time, he had no intention of joining up with them. Instead, he chose an entirely different route.

How could Meng Mingchi help her deal with his own mother and younger sister? Besides, the matter involved the Marquis of Wuwei, and he had no desire to get involved.

At first, Shi Shengsheng bought ice cream. Later, they bought water and drinks, and just now they had bought food as well.

The diary mentioned goblins, and the location of this dim cavern lay at the junction of Yinchuan, Hezhou, and Linnan. That meant Linnan and Hezhou were the places most likely to contain otherworldly rifts inhabited by goblins.

“Sisters-in-law, there’s no need to worry so much. I believe Brother Chen is blessed by fate and will certainly return safely,” Guo Xinxin comforted them gently, though her voice carried a trace of reluctance even she failed to notice.

Spiritual energy was not something that appeared rapidly on its own. Once you had absorbed all the spiritual energy in the surrounding area, there would be none left for you to draw upon. If you wanted to continue absorbing it, you had to draw on the spiritual energy of distant places.

As before, it was the third fruit that was blue. The blue fruit enhanced the mental aspect and would have a certain impact on one’s spiritual consciousness. If it were eaten first, the body might not be able to withstand it.

The three of them then left. After a while, another group arrived, and Lin Xi came here as well.

That night, they went back and forth between People’s Hospital and Tang Yun’s home four or five times.

“As long as you hand these children over to me, we can consider the matter settled. From now on, we’ll leave each other in peace,” Lin Xiaofeng said.

At the most conspicuous spot in the center stood an octagonal red metal frame, upon which shimmered a silvery-white curtain of light.

Could someone who had reached such heights at such a young age really be so easily seduced by beauty?

Perhaps, deep down, Sherlock’s imitation of his father was partly intended to arouse sympathy from the outside world. It was simply that, being proud and strong-willed, he was unwilling to admit it.

This flying saucer had once absorbed all the mystic crystals from an entire crystal mine. Its energy could last for hundreds or even thousands of years. A place with such abundant energy would also greatly aid their growth.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaofeng stretched lazily and glanced outside, only to realize that dawn was already breaking.

“If they don’t spread the word, do they really think I can’t go to the Yin-Yang Sect and cause trouble for the two of them? If they refuse to spread it, I’ll find another way to do so,” Lin Xiaofeng said.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Guan Yu knew he could no longer strike Lu Bu. He mounted his horse, used his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to hoist Xuancheng’s corpse, and galloped toward his own high ground. The Bull Demon King did not stop him. Instead, he walked over to Lu Bu and, seeing him covered in wounds, could not help but feel distressed.

As the yellow light descended, the corpse that had been circling on the river suddenly stopped spinning. It lay as still as a withered leaf, slowly floating toward Zhao Tiegang.

“Senior, what do you mean by that? Who is the ‘she’ you mentioned?” Tian Ye froze, sensing that there might be some hidden circumstances, and hurriedly asked.

Xuancheng said nothing. In a situation like this, he had to maintain a certain bearing. First of all, Niu Sansan had originally been assigned to him by the Bull Demon King to take care of his daily life.

Luo Xia was slightly stunned. After thinking carefully, she realized she had never heard of such a sect. It was probably a minor sect in the Cloud Realm. She then softly answered Wu Wanli’s question.

Thinking of Wang Kun’s wealth, and remembering that he had failed to calculate the man’s fortune earlier, yet the man had managed to kill someone from the Sanctions Group and remain at large until now, it seemed his background was far from simple.

Xuancheng knew perfectly well that Erlang God could not possibly know them. He had said this merely to open a conversation. Otherwise, if the awkward silence continued, what was he supposed to do?

“You think my fortune is fake?” Zhou Shi gave an alluring, sinister smile. Although Forbes had not fully verified Zhou Shi’s assets, it had still estimated his net worth at eight billion dollars—more than that of quantitative-investing legend James Simons—placing him fifty-fifth in the world.
