Chapter 57 Interrogation
Gu Sheng was left somewhat speechless by the question.
When all was said and done, as the years passed, she had always harbored a lingering hope, believing that she wasn't the only one with the surname Gu at the school back then. Moreover, He Wenzhou had always been a solitary figure, alienated by others; even if there were any gossip, it wouldn't necessarily have reached his ears.
As for that half-bottle of perfume...
Gu Sheng had no idea whether the later He Wenzhou had ever used it, because—
The nearest town hospital did have antivenom, but it was too far away. By the time he carried Bai Nannan to the town hospital on his back, the venom would probably have spread throughout her entire body. Even if she could be saved, she would likely be left disabled.
Eiko Iwaura slowly regained consciousness and felt around beside her, but failed to touch the lover who should have been lying there.
"Hey, no need to be angry. Aren't most people in this world just like this?" Ji Wushi sighed, seeming to have seen through the desolation of the mortal world.
As it turned out, they really did stir up trouble. The two girls were entirely focused on looking around and weren't paying attention; as they crossed an archway, they crashed straight into someone.
Besides, besides, Mom was on the late shift tonight. If he were really let in, with dry tinder meeting raging fire, something would definitely happen.
As time slowly passed, Qinxian felt that if this were truly the case, then living in such luxury and splendor as her mistress did was, after all, a kind of blessing.
The old man from the Western Regions was also watching with intense concentration, though his gaze fell upon Nian Changfeng. He knew that since Nian Changfeng was able to trade blows with the opponent, he must have a certain level of confidence. Furthermore, he desperately needed to observe Nian Changfeng's footwork, hoping to catch a flaw or two.
"Wicked hag!" the leader suddenly shouted. He drew his scimitar, intending to slash down upon Abbess Lefan, who was already fast asleep.
"Under normal circumstances, the Azure Dragon Gang doesn't have that kind of strength. But if they ally with one of the top three gangs, plus the Su family, and that bunch from the Golden Triangle, it's not something our Shen family can handle," Fourth Master Shen said, taking a sip of tea and speaking slowly.
To Du Han, this scene was entirely normal, but Yang Xue'e didn't find it ordinary at all. Clever dogs were a dime a dozen, but the world's smartest dog, the Border Collie, would never make such an expression, understand human speech so well, and give a response. Looking further at the deadpan, serious expression on Meng Fan's face as he spoke, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
Someone was getting married—in fact, three couples were tying the knot all at once. Could Lu Yincong and Ruan Xizhi possibly be missing from the lineup?
The moment he saw the sword qi burst forth from Duanchou's fingertips, the arrogant man's expression changed drastically, a flash of terror appearing in his eyes. He never expected that the ordinary-looking Taoist priest before him, who seemed entirely devoid of cultivation, could casually unleash sword qi.
Chen Yi was in no particular hurry to make a move. In front of this burial chamber lay a very long passageway, and Chen Yi was just fretting over what might be inside; wasn't this the perfect opportunity right now?
Once these words were spoken, Pangu and the others all fell into silence. Of course, this was not for the reason Tianjizi imagined, but rather out of sheer astonishment—the demands stated by Li Daoyan and Tianjizi were an exact match. There had to be some unspeakable secret hidden within this.
Du Qi could not help but let out a sigh of praise. His train of thought was identical: since they couldn't attack the exterior of the body, they would attack the interior, and the only way to attack the interior was to launch their strikes directly into the strange fish's mouth.
Bai Qi cast a cold, horizontal glare, and killing intent erupted. The skeletal dragon beneath him grew furiously enraged as well, glaring viciously at the descending thunder dragon. Instead of retreating, it advanced, opening its jaws to unleash a massive, ghostly-white beam of annihilation across the heavens, which slammed fiercely into the thunder dragon, tearing apart its claws and abdomen and piercing straight through it.
Qin Zheng let out a soft sound of surprise, then jerked his head aside just in time to see a fist graze past his temple, stirring up a wisp of wind pressure that ruffled the tips of his hair.
Ling Yanran was simply too overpowering, suppressing the Azure Dragon Saint Son all by herself. If it were her instead, she probably wouldn't have been able to win either.
During the Arcane Shift, the Pulsefire warrior's movements and the casting of the skill transformed them into a streak of light, fully living up to its name and brimming with a "future aura."
