Volume 1, Chapter 56: Is He Really Still Alive?

Cao Ruyan was in the east annex room. Having just woken up, she was exceptionally sensitive due to her slightly improved condition. She stood up, covered her ears with both hands, and asked impatiently, "What is that clattering noise outside? Tell them to stop making a racket!" Cao Ruyan no longer had the heart to maintain any etiquette.

"You obtained the 'Mandate of Heaven', how could it possibly foresee me?" Mei Zhaoling did not believe it at all, thinking that Si Yige was just having another idle moment looking for trouble. As she tidied the items in her hands, she walked toward her main hall.

Gong Peiyuan pulled a piece of black cloth from his pocket to cover his nose and mouth, then took out a lighter, ignited the hypnotic incense, and placed it on the floor near the partition. Wisps of smoke curled upward, and Iwasaki in the next room immediately grew groggy, his head drooping shortly after.

What kind of person was this tall, mighty boy? Was he inexperienced and sheltered? Su Ruoyao wondered, while Su Ruoqi looked forward to it with anticipation.

Finally, before dawn, the group crossed the Meiling Pass and arrived at Bailonglong Village, the stronghold of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

"Stupid human, suffer." The Green Wolf suddenly stretched out its hand and grabbed Li Bai.

When Chu Yue spoke these words, You Huo lowered his eyelids slightly, appearing either to listen intently or to care very little.

The girl's reaction melted everyone's hearts. She did not consider herself a normal person at all; instead of being frightened by the extra thing on her body, she was actually overjoyed.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Sumu spotted the two sitting inside a secluded cave from afar. If not for the resonance of the contract, it would not have been so easy to find them, especially since the two had already set up a barrier around themselves to mask their aura, making them extremely difficult to detect.

"Second Brother Yanbin, we don't understand matters between elders. Yanyuan believes it is better not to speak recklessly. The family has Father and Eldest Aunt to govern us." Cheng Yanyuan knew he could not persuade his second brother at all, and his previous words were entirely meant for his father and eldest aunt to hear: I obey whatever you decide.

Hearing a lively cry coming from above, Harry instinctively looked up, and then he saw a red figure flash past, finally landing on the roof of a nearby low building.

When her father placed her hand into Chu Lin's, Mu Nuanxi's eyes suddenly began to grow warm.

Li Xiachan and I chose the seats closest to him. Li Xiachan stared at me and revealed a faint smile.

It would be difficult for me to run, though. Smartie grabbed my clothes in a death grip. I raised my arm high above Smartie's hand and then pressed down fiercely, managing to wrench his hand away from my clothes.

The man slowly walked toward Xinran, gazing blankly at her face, and then a trace of a pleasant smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Are you worried things aren't troublesome enough? My sister almost successfully attacked you, your friend's younger brother almost choked me to death, and then after we finally cooperated well on both sides in Cairo, you go and release one of the most notorious supervillains? Playing an escape room? Really?

Su Qianlang and Nalan Yanruo also heaved a sigh of relief at this moment. He had finally arrived; with Qin Feng here, their hearts felt much more settled.

With a soft plop, I saw an imprint left on the half-brick. After the brick hit the ground, I could clearly see that a corner of the playing card was deeply embedded in the brick's surface.

Therefore, sometimes, it is better not to play too many pranks on your younger brother, even if you don't know him yet.

Whether due to the lighting or not, from Qiao Anxin's perspective, Jiang Mingle's gaze carried a hint of gloom.

"Don't worry, she won't. She's even less professional than I am!" Huan Mao nodded at the proprietress to let her set her mind at ease.

Regarding the matter of him being sent abroad, Qiao Anxin had heard the old lady mention it a few times. It seemed Qin Qiyou had angered Qin Yifeng in some way, and Qin Yifeng in a fit of rage sent him away, refusing to listen to anyone's persuasion.

Therefore, when the Black Snakes eventually grew to a scale that the navy could no longer ignore, they would inevitably face obstruction or even attacks.

At this moment, he was also an octopus, considered a delicacy in the eyes of his own kind, which could easily arouse their appetite.

Relying on his temporal and spatial magic having improved significantly compared to some time ago, Jiang Feng released his spiritual power to probe the seemingly authentic or false medicine merchant trading platform, intending to figure out how it could connect two worlds.

"Give me another one!" Ji Qingting refused to let go, directly grabbing his sleeve with her delicate, extended hand.

Teleporting to Ganyan Village, Lu Yao hid the ghost messenger ring on the roof, dirtied her trouser legs a bit, and stained her hands with mud before dustily knocking on old Mrs. Qiao's front door.

Her smile was warm and friendly, giving anyone meeting this legendary boss for the first time a sense of identity and being moved.

"An advertisement is only about a minute long anyway, and this is a competition event, not something to be broadcast on television!" Xu Yiyi glanced at the script and memorized it instantly.

Yet among these tens of thousands of low-tier monsters, a seven-tailed celestial fox made his heart tremble. It was a disciple of his Fox Heresy Sect, yet she was actually controlled by Lian Haiping, frantically slaughtering his warrior army without cease.

"Dad, Mum, it's very late. You should rest early, and I'll be leaving now." Normally, after returning to China this time, Tan Yanning would occasionally stay overnight at the old family estate. But tonight's atmosphere—the way his mother and sister interacted with each other—ultimately suppressed his original intention of staying at the old estate, prompting him to say this to his parents instead.
