Volume 1, Chapter 59: Three Feet Deep of Earth Fire, Not a Single Fraction Less

The room was quiet, save for the hum of the air conditioner and the steady tapping of the keyboard.

Thinking of this, An Mu suddenly felt her face flush, and she hurriedly patted her cheeks: her current physical age was only eighteen, so it would still be a few years before marriage and children, right?

"The place they took us back to near the capital should be a cave not far from North Mountain, about a quarter of an hour's walk. The cave must be very hidden; there were other people locked up inside, though my eyes were kept blindfolded the whole time, so I couldn't see who they were. But there was clearly the presence of other people there."

"You call that kind of thing helping?" Chen Chen looked at everyone with cold and stern eyes and said.

"If that really is the case, then it is indeed a good method!" Hearing Chen Chen's words, Reilly could not help nodding and saying.

Today, the Emperor must have harbored suspicions against Prime Minister Zhao, which was why he was not summoned to court. While everyone else's doors were knocked on with wooden pillars, his house received no such visit. Moreover, before the notification reached him, the Emperor's secret guards had already released sleeping incense into his room, so even if he had wanted to come today, he simply could not have made it.

The moment he appeared, all the talented practitioners on Saturn felt a faint sense of oppression in their hearts.

Li Jinyu was about to utter a sarcastic remark when he saw the strange old man who had been sitting on the sofa suddenly vanish, disappearing completely into thin air.

Good grief, of course not? Who the Ninth Prince actually is might remain unclear to us courtiers, but the whole world knows he is a fool, doesn't it?

Today, however, he was full of fighting spirit, and Lota could even feel the surging magical power fluctuations emanating from his opponent.

"Thud." The person he was dragging by the hand was tossed onto the ground by Chang Qing, who brushed his hands together and sighed with emotion.

"Do you mean you want me to marry into your family?" Xu Ling was slightly stunned upon hearing those words, and then couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"When did this guy become so fond of acting spoiled?" Bai Hui followed closely behind them, figuring they must have had some purpose in suddenly rushing out like that.

Qin Tianci channeled his vital energy into the Yongquan acupoint, lifted his breath upward, and with his toes lightly touching the city wall, he climbed up step by step as if walking up a flight of stairs.

"Your mother wasn't just playing games a moment ago, was she?" Wen Hanjiu felt her expression was somewhat peculiar and tried to seek confirmation from Rong Can.

Kaisa had already formed the tightest defensive line with Mascherano and Mikel. It was very difficult for Liverpool players to get past, and the team's backline was completely secure.

The next day, No. 0 changed into a custom-made suit, brought the energy canister, and waited outside Lota's door on standby.

"Can you help me?" Chen Lirong was a smart person, but she only had this one chance. If she failed to seize it properly, once her family went bankrupt, she would never be able to stay with the person she loved.

"Forget it, I'll just take a few photos with my phone first!" Zheng Bona took out her phone and snapped a few pictures. Looking at the clothes she was wearing and her sallow complexion, she felt a bit too embarrassed to ask Bai Hui to take pictures of her.

This could be considered the opening remarks, a greeting, during which she did not forget to flutter her cute, harmless, and innocent eyes filled with affection.

It was at a moment like this that I truly experienced what it meant when one wanted to incriminate someone, the pretense was never lacking. These two police officers had already decided in their hearts that I was the murderer, and no matter how I argued, they simply believed I was attempting to absolve myself, refusing to listen to anything else.

As for those incantations—good lord, I have several spells for the Northern and Southern Dippers; I couldn't possibly test them one by one, could I?

The headquarters of the Soul Syndicate was an office building. With the syndicate's immense power, this entire twenty-story building was completely under their control. As the headquarters of Wa nation's largest criminal syndicate, the guards here were naturally extraordinary; the entrance alone was guarded by as many as sixteen men. With such heavy guards, Long Xiang naturally could not just barge in like that.

Thus, it was a treat for Green Pearl and Blue Spirit. Priceless delicacies were happily fed to them by a certain someone. As for the eldest sister, she was cold and distant, and one could never be sure what contingency plans she might have, so it was better to keep her safely at a distance.

With the marrow-cleansing reaching great completion, the martial arts spirit is condensed, and physical sensitivity becomes extremely acute. Martial artists generally refer to this state as "having a stimulus and immediate response"—the body can react before consciousness itself. This is the miraculous aspect of martial arts practiced down to the divine marrow.

With matters having reached this point, I no longer delayed. I stimulated my own spiritual energy, intending to use it directly to treat Xu Fei's current physical condition.

Hugging the wall and slowly moving toward the entrance leading to the underground, the "Chef" poked his head in to look. There was no one inside; the damp, dark-green rocks could be seen reflecting the light, appearing exceptionally eerie and terrifying.

These people were actually foolish enough to think that the locusts were a punishment sent down by the heavens, and some even called them locust gods. Other than using fire to burn them after they took flight, they had no other solutions whatsoever.

He ordered Fei San to prepare a plane to go home. Originally, he had planned to come back tonight to finish off Luolan, lest the latter make a move against him first. But now, nothing else mattered; Angela was the most important. He couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer.

Wen Jing nodded. Before she had certain assurance, she did not want to activate her supernatural abilities and attract the military's attention. If she triggered their notice, it wouldn't be so easy for Wen Jing to kill Number 7.

Xu Han's eyes were somewhat dazed, the feeling of fear lingering and trapping her entire body. After a long moment, she reacted: actually, it didn't seem quite that scary, did it?

Li Dian guarded all the critical passes and received various reports as well, yet he found no trace of Li Hu.

"Her Majesty Eve Yovela is in poor health—that is a lie, of course," Xiya said bluntly.

The Enforcement Hall was filled exclusively with enforcement disciples, who were specifically responsible for supervising and investigating various matters within the sect, wielding immense power.

Oobai knew the crossbow bolts were limited, so he hadn't initially drawn the crossbow for use. After killing people and getting his clothes splattered with blood, he wasn't in a hurry to change either, as he still had to clean up the bodies later. He hadn't expected to encounter bandits in a place so close to the capital; just how chaotic was this world?

At the entrance of "that world," the River of Styx, the souls of Cecilia and Barroway walked toward the river. Once they stepped into it, they would completely bid farewell to everything in their lives and enter the cycle of reincarnation.
