Chapter 26

The bed was still the same as before, just as she had seen moments ago—a complete ruin. If not for the intact blanket and sheet covering it, Jiang Jin would hardly believe this was her bed.

“Where are you going? After all this time waiting for you to grow up, is this all there is?” Su Bai looked at the void with disappointment and fear.

Zhao Yan shouted at the top of his lungs, calling out as they walked, but even by the lake at the forest’s center, there was no sign of human presence. Other disciples had been drawn to the Twelve Peaks, and no one ventured toward the lake. The three moved silently along, not even a single spirit beast in sight.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Now realizing, Noe hurriedly stuffed her belongings under the counter table, brushed off the dust and dirt, and trotted behind the group.

Liu Ziwei was stunned, not expecting Mo Lan to ask her that question. Her sole purpose in coming was simple—she didn’t want Mo Lan to harbor any resentment toward her.

Mo Lingyuan’s lips curled slightly, growing increasingly impressed with the seven-year-old Dong Li. She was glad that he had allied with Dong Li long ago, recognizing his talent.

The elves of the Elf Tribe bore Western features, easily distinguishable at a glance. Thus, when Chu Nanle and Gu Qingyan, two plainly human outsiders, walked the streets, countless killing intents hung in the air.

Disappointed, Mo Lan no longer expected the three to come and see. This made her want to quit the competition altogether; originally, she had signed up just to have a valid reason to come here.

Gu Dijue reached out and cupped Mo Lan’s chin. She lifted her head slowly, eyes like icy snow shimmering with watery light, resembling a crescent moon’s gentle glow—so breathtakingly beautiful it was suffocating.

“Xiao Ye, I have something to tell you,” Bai Tingting said, feeling she should be honest with Xiao Ye.

Wang Yuzhe’s car hit four sharp nails left uncleared on the road, causing it to lose control instantly. The vehicles behind collided one after another, turning the scene into a chaotic disaster.

He wanted to leave quietly, but seeing Tang Lin across the way sipping coffee, gentle and lovely, he hesitated.

Because only a day had passed since Su Ge and Li Shimin left.

Qiu Yuanzheng’s expression grew heavier, forcing him to rethink how to deal with Jiang Geng.

“Moreover, I know Ting’er’s true feelings. That Crown Princess of Shuo Nan remains the embodiment of the Shuo Nan Prince; everyone in the realm knows this.”

A single planet’s Magma people were already troubled enough, and now they had provoked the Absolute people of this time and space.

Poor as he was in his old age, still braving the biting cold to handle affairs—life was utterly miserable.

She took out a needle kit she had pilfered from Tao Yue, opened it, revealing a complete set of acupuncture tools before her eyes.

Naturally, the result was sensational. At least all the online viewers couldn’t help but click their tongues in astonishment.

Regarding the venomous white lotus Mu Qingrou, Mu Yunge had no desire even to communicate with her. She glanced coldly without answering, instead striding past Mu Qingrou toward the heavens.

“Foreman Chen! Foreman Chen! It’s bad—they’re coming!” Zhao Guodong hurried into the room to tell Foreman Chen.

Foreman Chen pulled out a notebook and calculator, writing as he spoke, “You work for twenty-five yuan a day. If you worked for a month, that’s thirty days. Your salary should be twenty-five times thirty.” He began calculating on the calculator.

“Let’s go, Guodong.” Old Niu rummaged through his luggage, found a box, then pulled Zhao Guodong out with him.

“These four ‘door’ cannons, I’ll have Zhang Tiancheng take them away for testing. How’s the gun barrel workshop recovering?” Li Ye instructed Zhang Tiancheng to take them, not only to test the cannons but mainly to train a cannon unit.

Wang Jie was momentarily stunned by the mysterious words of the Demon Lord, unsure of their meaning.

I nodded lightly to him, knowing that even if I wanted to call out now, no one would hear. Seeing me relent, he pressed twice firmly on my neck, and with a “gulp,” I finally regained the ability to speak.

Lazhuo roughly explained the situation in his letter, but Ye Ying worried whether Gang La would confront the Heavenly Palace on Lazhuo’s behalf. Since Lazhuo’s heart was already dead, he wished to devote his final life to the Ghost Gate, yet Gang La might sacrifice himself for him.

The plane circled incessantly above Eagle’s Beak Mountain, dropping no bombs. Soon after, it flew away.

Liu Miyan finally raised his head. His handsome, elegant face was filled with solemn resolve; his words were measured and resolute, every sentence ringing with conviction.

Dudu cast a sympathetic glance at the man gnawing on roasted chicken opposite him. Alas, the poor fellow was unjustly blamed.

Though she had caused Lo Yichen some harm, in the entire affair, she was merely a pitiful victim.

Not everyone at the Social Sciences Academy had the chance to attend this academic forum, but each attendee was remarkable and deserved recognition.

The combined force of new recruits, veterans, and security personnel totaled two hundred, beginning to usher people out from top to bottom. Yet how could they obediently leave such a warm, safe place? Conflict was inevitable.

She, opening with a new chapter in international cooperation, was destined to become a responsible global power.

Since the man in black had not come to trouble him, Chen Tianlong continued to play the fool, serving as the temporary deputy team leader.

Behind him stood many people; as a son of the Shangguan family, he naturally carried the victorious air when facing Chen Tianlong and Dong Xinhui.

Most of the screens above flashed red lights. Without exception, every red-lit image contained zombies.

It was a case where each side insisted on their own righteousness, and even now, no final decision had been reached.

Yu Yuan smiled—the first smile since entering school. The fact that they objected meant there was still hope.

“Xiner, have you ever liked me?” His gaze burned intensely, the cold calm of the past completely gone.

He was a lofty celestial heir, willing to be reborn as a glazed bead for Liuli; he was the first to refuse to sever ties and take the brand; he was the one forced to raise me.

Zhao Hui’s father and mother went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Only Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo remained in the living room, feeling a bit tired, so they went to Zhao Hui’s room to rest.
