Volume One, Chapter 46: The Softshell Turtle, The Village Chief Finds Reassurance!

"Creak, creak~"

"What a joke! Every single Chinese person in Hainan is under the jurisdiction of Haikou City, and you are no exception. Naturally, you belong under Yang Guang's command!" a councilman shouted loudly.

Qin Zhao looked at the golden business card, instantly understanding Zhong Jilun's willingness to cooperate. If the media reports were to be believed, Zhong Jilun had only printed thirty such cards in total, carrying them with him and only handing them out to those he found kindred spirits with. To have received this card already made him deeply honored.

"The Heavenly Ladder?" A look of bewilderment appeared on Jiang Yi's face; this was the first time he had ever heard that term.

Zhang Tian wore an expression of astonishment, momentarily unable to decide whether to praise the sharpness of the light saber or marvel at its temperature. Holding the light saber in his hand, Zhang Tian did not feel any scorching heat, yet it produced such an intense temperature on contact that it instantly melted the refined iron stone, seeming no weaker than his own sword radiance at all.

"Let's go." Jiang Huairen, taking Shen Jingyun with him, used teleportation to close in on Geraint and the others. Now that Jiang Huairen's strength had increased, his teleportation art was no longer what it used to be. With just two consecutive teleportations, Jiang Huairen closed the distance to Geraint's group. Shen Jingyun had also locked onto a target: Geraint. Being the farthest from the blood goblet, he was the optimal choice.

"I am not as strong as you; it was only because of Nether Blood that I managed to barely break the seal. You are different—you broke the seal entirely by yourself. I am inferior to you." Xuan Ye knew Nu Tian's temperament well; fearing that Nu Tian might fly into a rage, he attributed the credit of breaking the seal to Nether Blood.

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, the expressions on the faces of the gastroenterology doctors finally softened just a bit.

As Liu Bing watched the television, she turned her head to glance at Qin Zhao in the kitchen and couldn't help breaking into a smile. This was the scene of her dreams, though there were still some discrepancies at the moment. However, she had the confidence to correct those deviations.

In another spacetime, Jiang Feng met with Hong Yuanshan and learned that nothing major had happened during his ocean voyage; everything was entirely stable, with only one exception—an endless tide of corpses surging toward Qinghai.

"Yuanuo, did you get burned? Didn't I tell you to let others do this kind of work? What would you do if you got burned?" Mo Qing hurried over, picked up Mo Yuanuo's slightly red and swollen fingers with deep heartache, and gently blew on them.

In his youth, his grandfather's appearance had been rather kind, but for some reason over the past two years, the old man's facial features had grown increasingly fierce with age.

Qu Liuzui felt uneasy in her heart, but at the moment she simply could not pull herself away. Sighing, she instructed everyone to join her in treating the patient's wounds.

The youth was finally willing to speak, and Liu Wanru also felt a deep pity for this pathetic boy, so the three people inside the carriage chatted and laughed pleasantly all the way.

In this manner, right up until he turned two years old, Zhang Qin finally managed to increase his comprehension by 2 points and his aptitude by 3 points.

Ying Li said nothing more, walking aside instead to prepare for an afternoon nap. Back when she served as the sect leader, she had a mountain of affairs to deal with and no time whatsoever for afternoon naps. This present state of affairs came as a welcome relief to her.

However, Yunefer neither needed to extend his lifespan nor sought to regain a physical body, nor did he know how to utilize its methods. To him, the Sorcerer's Stone was nothing more than a hot potato.

Ying Li had accomplished a major feat this time, earning her much greater respect from the people of Sunset Gorge. Ever since they learned she had regained consciousness, visitors had been coming in a continuous stream to check on her. Ying Li found the handling of these visits somewhat exasperating, yet she had no alternative.

"I'll take advantage of these next two days to hurriedly gather everything we need, and then we'll head straight back! You won't be able to pry anything definitive out of Fu Wanqing right now anyway; future matters will just have to be resolved by yourself. I still have business to attend to back home," Fu Jiushang stood behind Long Moqian and said earnestly.
