Chapter 44: You’re the Thing, and So Is Your Whole Family

Along the way, they passed Haitang Bay, visited Gulangyu Island and Yunshuiyao, admired Phoenix City, and walked through Huanglong Cave. Everything proceeded at an unhurried pace. Whenever they saw something, they wanted to eat it; whenever they saw something, they wanted to buy it—as though they would not stop until they had spent every last bit of the twenty million Jiang Ya had saved.

Because they had come in such a hurry that morning, Xiang Mian’s hair was still somewhat disheveled. Gu Chen walked over, his handsome brows drawing together slightly.

“So, you’re saying Shankou had wanted to kill that middle-aged man beside him from the very beginning. Why?” Dr. A Mu’s focus was always rather unusual.

Li Qingshan slipped his phone back into his pocket, feeling deeply uneasy. Chen Xiyan had just called him, but the phone had rung only once. When he called back, there was no answer.

“Eleventh Uncle, we can no longer count on the Enhancement Pill. What should we do now? Should we attack the Linhai Sect immediately, or should your men restore their elemental power first?” The Twelfth Prince turned to the Eleventh Prince and asked.

“Did you follow us all the way to Moyan Street today?” Boss Jiang asked Yue Liang directly, wasting no time.

Lin Xue looked at her grandmother’s profile picture. It was an actual photograph of her, and the grandmother in it wore a brilliantly radiant smile.

Li Xue ran wildly after the purple talisman paper floating above her head. Darkness filled her vision. She did not know how long she had been running, but at last, she could no longer hear the sounds of fighting behind her.

From this antithetical couplet, it was clear that Mo Yan had put considerable thought into it. Even so, the matching was rather forced, and it failed to conform to the rules of parallel couplets. Mo Yan had also explained this in the preface. It seemed that Mo Yan did understand the rules governing such couplets.

Most of them had come to protect us—the soldiers. Now it was the people’s turn to protect them. The residents of Antarctic City offered the refugees the greatest assistance they could.

After two heavy sighs that seemed to sink into the marrow, the space, which had originally been pitch-black, suddenly burst into dazzling sacred radiance. Within that light, the figure of an old man slowly emerged.

Just as they were about to ask their questions, a sudden rumble came from the sky. A door of裂缝 opened, enormous and radiating brilliant white light.

“This man is in the Eastern Xuan Kingdom. He will surely become a great threat to our country in the future,” Shangguan Jing calculated inwardly. Then, he unleashed the second move of the Ten Heavenly Heart Forms, sweeping it toward Zhu Yuanlong. Vast waves of sword energy surged endlessly, each wave higher than the last, like rolling thunder or a tsunami—almost impossible to withstand.

Ye Zhixing adjusted the surveillance footage, proving that her grandmother had indeed come. She had stood before the tombstone for a long time, though no one knew what she had said.

“Let her go!” In the silent hall, Zhuangzi’s deep voice suddenly rang out, carrying a faint trace of concern.

Ziyang issued an order to recruit worthy and capable people, selecting a new city lord for Wufeng City. Naturally, the new city lord had to be absolutely loyal to Ziyang; that went without saying.

Dian Wei and Guo Jia were both fearless drinkers who could drain cup after cup without restraint. Although Xiahou Dun and Zhao Yun were considerably more moderate than the other two, they could still put away a great deal of liquor.

Ye Zhixing was naturally extremely anxious at that moment. Ever since they had watched the fireflies that day, she had not seen Zhan Junyu for two whole days.

Moreover, this clearly was no ordinary fellow. Shao Han immediately slowed his steps, striving to sense the threat coming from nearby.

The old man waved his hand. “Take it. You’ll have to cultivate with it sooner or later, so it’s good to familiarize yourself with it in advance…” With that, the old man turned and walked shakily toward the thatched cottage.

“You have only three days—no more, no less.” After Han Qing finished speaking, he moved toward the front. Before long, his figure had disappeared.

“Lin Ziyan, you’ve gone too far!” Mo Hanruo threatened. “If you dare harm the child, I absolutely will not let you get away with it.” After saying this, she pounded frantically on the car window and began shouting nonstop. She wanted to call for help from the people outside. She could not let them take the child away like this.

The manner of expression had changed, but the ultimate purpose remained the same. Pretending not to understand, she opened her mouth slightly, then shook her head and responded with an expression of complete ignorance to his ridiculous action. Otherwise, she would have had to go to the trouble of replying to his message.

After something like that had happened, Wu Shuling could no longer remain at the teahouse. She did not even have time to say anything to Li Wei’s mother before taking her leave and returning home.

Li Shishi had been the leading courtesan of Fan Tower. Even now that she had fallen from prominence, she was still far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Setting everything else aside, who could compare with her when she had once been rumored to have an affair with the former emperor?

Beiming Lü saw only a flash of cold light before him. In the next instant, the tip of the spear was almost at his face. He jerked violently in alarm and hurriedly twisted and ducked his neck, barely managing to evade it.

She had noticed the foot-soaking tub while cleaning. Familiar with the place, she went straight over, carried out the heavy tub, filled it with water, and plugged it in for him.

“How did you obtain the poison from the Medicine God Hall? And what if the Medicine God Hall has an antidote?” the Divine Emperor asked with some concern.

After taking a heavy kick and hearing that her tongue was going to be cut out, Sai Yina—cunning yet exceedingly vain—fell silent at once and merely gazed at me with tears welling in her eyes.

Sitting by the entrance and looking at the familiar corridor and the lotus pond opposite, I felt as though I had returned to the time when I had first arrived.

The more deeply I thought about it, the gloomier my mood became. The police car screamed through the streets at top speed, racing straight onto the airport runway.

The black-clad man opposite was remarkably skilled. Mo Chou assessed him carefully and did not believe she could defeat him easily. Since that fellow was coming in her direction, it was not impossible that he might also be targeting Du Rui.

Hearing everyone condemning Lin Qian, Hui Qingyan merely smiled and said nothing more.

The main hall doors stood open. Li Rou sat solemnly in the central seat of honor, dressed in white like an ethereal fairy, gazing toward the entrance. She paid no attention whatsoever to Yao Guangqi as he slowly walked in.

The fake Leng Baishuang and Ling Zhi had suffered a severe shock ever since learning that they were living inside another person’s inner world. Ling Zhi had become even colder and more unapproachable.

Ling Xi drove to a styling studio not far from the technology building and gave Ling Qi, who had already changed into her evening gown, a simple makeover.

After completing all this, Lu Ming fell into thought for a moment. He went to look at Shang and stood there for a long while before silently leaving the dimensional space.

Qiu Yixuan sat before the table, on which lay a bronze mirror. He was gathering his courage to look at his reflection when the door was suddenly pushed open, startling him into turning around at once.

A pair of eyes stared intently at Zhan Xian. His face was serious and composed now, no longer bearing the complexity and inscrutability it had shown when he was smiling moments before.

Sixty-four bolts of lightning struck down around the Jade Emperor, yet they could not break through the white jade aura at all. They were repelled directly, sending sparks flying across the floor of the Hall of Vast Heaven.
