Chapter Ninety-Two: The Aftermath

“Wait, wait a moment!”

Wang Mian’s head was burning hot and a little dizzy, but she had not forgotten one thing: “Young master, and Miss Thirteen!”

Wang Mian did not like Zheng Chi, and her impression of Zheng Thirteen was only so-so.

But today—no, yesterday, rather—yesterday Zheng Thirteen’s performance moved Wang Mian.

This frail, delicate, timid little girl, though she was terrified to the point of trembling and had thin arms and legs with hardly any strength at all, still...

Those words were forced out through clenched teeth, and the two words gratitude and kindness were especially stressed, the meaning plain enough: one day, he would surely repay the grudge.

Not only Gu Sanqian froze; everyone else did too. If not for what had just happened, they would never have believed that Lei Long could still strike while unconscious.

It was like a tuft of cotton drifting down onto the ground, and then the raging flames also fell from the sky. The landing was equally silent, equally without trace.

According to Elder Wu of Wushan City, Ye Bai was able to kill Xue Tiandao only because he had the help of other experts.

The elder’s voice seemed to carry a hint of pleading. He had not intended to show himself, but since Elder Chen’s divine sense had already locked onto him, even if he did not appear, Lin Chen could still find him with ease.

A short old man in a green robe and broad-brimmed hat was seen walking slowly forward atop the sea of insects.

Another voice suddenly sounded. It was Ghost Nine of the Supreme Demon Palace, who had stepped forward to question him coldly.

Muen spoke as he pointed at the star map. The nearest star was Centaurus, which was the legendary Trisolaris.

By rights, for this kind of emergency treatment, it would be better for me to do it myself. But my body can no longer support work like that.

Not long after, under the expectant gazes of dozens of people, a middle-aged man dressed in silk cautiously entered the main hall of the Master of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Ye Xiaofeng rarely found any potential in the face of a local ruffian leader like this.

When the Heavenly Dao descended, it actually brought its power along as well. It was just that the Heavenly Dao casually cast it aside. The power of the Dao was restrained, making it impossible for anyone to notice, and with Heaven’s own attitude, it was only natural for people to mistake this for the Heavenly Dao’s destruction of the Northern Wasteland Realm.

When I flew to the city wall of Wilderness State City, Ai Tangtang and I felt as though we had slammed into an invisible barrier.

Because the expansion of Cloud Records into the Fujian region had been put on hold by the uprising of the Maitreya Sect, everything was now gradually recovering, and this plan had been taken back up. The matter had fallen to Gao Che.

I never expected him to be this strong. Even Divine Peerless could not possibly have disposed of me so easily, could he?

“All right, the matter is settled. Let’s go, let’s go.” Seeing the merit aura land on the monk, the black turtle nodded in satisfaction.

Wei Yan gave a cold laugh, his eyes full of disdain. Did he really think he could block this furious slash of his with such casual ease?

Watching the fist suddenly come at him, Bai Kun actually made a move that astonished even the false Bai Kun. He did not dodge at all, but allowed his own head to take the punch head-on. In an instant, Bai Kun’s entire head was blasted apart.

An imposing aura burned around him like raging fire, sweeping back and forth with a fierce gaze.

“In his room, aside from the portrait of the founding master, there is only a portrait of his wife,” Chu Tianze said.

Ye Wentian was plainly lying. As a businessman, how could he truly give up drinking? Still, even knowing that Young Master Song was lying, Ye Wentian had no real way to handle it. The man had said he would not drink—could you really force him to drink?

The empress dowager’s expression grew fainter and fainter. She felt that she was losing every trace of living color, her face becoming more and more like a wooden carving.

Seeing Huerhe’s fearful look, Huzhuo could not help but laugh out loud, never imagining that there would be someone Huerhe feared as well.

Habutori spoke to Wang Mo with haughty confidence. Though he was the previous generation’s leader, that did not mean he was inferior to the current one. On the contrary, he was considerably stronger.

At last this bit of nonsense was glossed over. He Jiong let out a breath of relief, and Xie Na gave Qiao Nuan a grateful look. When they finished recording and went out to eat that night, it was indeed she who paid the bill.

“Since I married you, I have not favored anyone else, so whether the household has concubines or not is of no importance,” Huerhe said frankly.

Hu Tianjia secretly suffered inwardly. His grandfather had actually fallen to such a state of amnesia. And when he looked at Cold Frigid’s expression, it was equally remarkable; she was probably already scheming something in her mind.

“If I can sleep soundly, then I am relieved. This child will only sleep peacefully once she no longer resists a place,” Xia Muyao said softly.

“Yinuo, do not do something foolish for my sake!” Gale cried out the moment he saw Yinuo’s condition.

The crystal cup, translucent and luminous, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and the man simply crashed down onto the fragments.

Yet Li Yu also found himself envying the senior time travelers. If only he could remember everything from his past life in his own mind, there were so many advertisements he had seen before that surely one would be suitable. Toss it out and he could win the adoring gazes of one elegant older sister and five little girls. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

There were not many of them, only eleven in all, yet the aura of those eleven forced the sea beasts ahead of them to retreat.

“It was my own decision to come. My grandfather knows nothing of it.” Xie Daoqing set down the teapot and sat down, then looked at Ye Qing as he lifted the teacup and sniffed at its rim, unconsciously licking his lips.

Under the endlessly flashing camera lights, he carefully sketched it out in her mind, patiently guiding her, gentle and lingering.

As they drew nearer, Li Bianruo finally made out the man’s face. It was a face he had seen twice before: a man whom Ma Wenrou had said must never be provoked, a lone hawk whom that solitary wolf had chased after and refused to let go.

In the past, they had always been beaten down by the enemy forces and rarely fought head-on. Their guns were poor, their bullets too few. They had to rely on ambushes, precise shooting, brief assaults, and close combat with blades to wipe out the enemy. It had been far too stifling.

“All right. Since that is the case, then I’ll trouble you, Uncle. By the way, my name is Su Chen.” Being with someone stronger than oneself was at least better than wandering blindly through the forest alone, and Su Chen had no reason to refuse.

Beneath the empty oil-paper umbrella, countless pink petals fluttered down, like a paradise on earth.

“Grandmother, why speak like that? Since Grandmother is ill, Xi’er ought to find a way to cure you. How could I ever think it troublesome!” Xia Jinting lowered her head, a flash of coldness crossing her eyes. They had tried to use her, Xia Jinting? Too late. From this day on, she would begin her revenge against the entire Xia family. She would never show mercy.

“Die for me!”

The killing intent in Li Jin’s eyes grew ever sharper. With that thunderous shout, the fellow was utterly shaken apart and dispersed into nothingness on the wind.

Her eyes swept across the guests once more. Xueru and Qin Lian had not invited many people, only about ten tables, and they were already full. Those who had come were all the closest friends and family of Xueru and Qin Lian.

Seeing that Rong Zhituan had already yielded, the others all fell silent in terror. Among them, Rong He had the best family background, while the rest were all following his lead. If even Rong Zhituan could not handle it, then the others certainly could not either, and so in a panic they all rushed to find their own families.
