20 20 (Extra Chapter)

"I think you still haven't come to your senses." Shen Jiaojiao paid no heed to his verbal abuse.

Ju Lan was just about to breathe onto the condensed liquid to end the battle when Su Changqing suddenly walked up to the adjudicating elder. The disciples present watched him intently, wondering what he intended to do.

The other disciples were not to be outdone; they summoned their own spirit beasts and gave chase, causing quite a commotion throughout the Medicine Sect.

Seeing her look over, the few individuals—who were once her subordinates—did not show their usual respect today, but instead gazed at her with provocation.

If he hadn't known for a fact that this was his sister's first time meeting Lin Zhaoxia, he would have truly suspected that the two of them had conspired beforehand to put on this act together.

Chen Changan’s expression remained a blend of smiles and sincerity from start to finish, which made him appear highly convincing.

Li Hong, already feeling frustrated by yesterday’s defeat, did not expect to be ambushed even after retreating, and his rage flared up even more.

Speaking of this, Zhen Yongfu looked at Chen Changan; he had known of this tactic for a long time, having found inspiration from Chen Changan himself.

Since Li Zhengdao had said they must not go to the hospital, if they were to go, it would surely be extremely dangerous.

Deeply aware of his sister's constitution, which was prone to attracting trouble, Lin Xuanchen warned her.

Upon hearing this, Tang Haoze held back his questions for a moment, simply hugging her gently as they went to sleep. Any words could wait until tomorrow.

Indeed, thanks to the tireless, day-and-night research of Professor Fang and Cheng Nuo, the progress of proving this conjecture had reached 97%, leaving only some final, relatively simple finishing touches.

"Hehehe..." Vina’s laughter caused Michelle to stop and look back at her, surprised that even while under her complete control, Vina could still command her body to laugh.

As the most arrogant species on this planet, even though the gap between them had diminished at this level of cultivation, the Dragon God clearly could not let go of his hatred for Baia.

"Of course, if their feudal lord wants to withhold the gold and silver we brought, we can use a righteous excuse to attack this place afterward. Therefore, we must learn to be patient." Chen Bangyan reminded everyone once more: unless the native feudal lords initiated hostilities first, they should adopt a strategy of advancing by retreating and remain still until reinforcements from the mainland arrived.

Unlike Vina, this dark power was passed down through the souls of her ancestors. The methods she could employ were far more varied than Carol’s singular attack style, though Carol naturally possessed abilities that Vina did not.

Now, Joseon should be complaining to the Great Ming, and then, just like the first group of envoys, use the collusion with the Jianzhou Jurchens as leverage to threaten the imperial court into handing over Fang Yun, and subsequently demand that the Ming compensate for their losses. That would be the normal way, wouldn't it?

Just as a torrential downpour fell upon the river valley where the 66th Regiment was stationed, the sky over the swampy hinterlands of the Hukawng Valley had cleared. The sun revealed its haggard face in the cosmos, casting down a dim, yellow light.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Cheng Nuo felt the atmosphere inside the office turn oppressive. At the desk, Professor Liao sat with his legs crossed, gazing at Cheng Nuo with a smile.

Before he could even draw his weapon, his arm was bitten, and then the velociraptors swarmed him as if fighting over food.

The call was from Lisa. Xiao Nan-ye had suddenly left yesterday, and there were still many matters in Hong Kong that had not been resolved; Cheng Xueyang was currently jumping up and down, cursing.

Although most of the youths in the Sunset Group had mediocre strength, and quite a few gave up the match immediately upon seeing that their opponent was Ling Feng.

"No wonder he never shows up to meetings and always leaves you, the Chief of Staff, to take the fall. So he ran off to go on a date! When he gets married, I’ll make sure he pays for it!" Dou Pingqing also said with a laugh.

That single sentence caused Su Mo’s overflowing rage to instantly extinguish; there was no helping it, as they were not on the same wavelength, it was impossible to compete.

For a moment, the players from the Imperial Dynasty and the Conquest guilds all stopped and retreated to the side to await orders from their guild leaders.

Xing Chi rode his warhorse at the very front of the procession, holding a horse whip in his right hand and Tang Haoshan’s seal raised in his left, with a sword at his waist, looking like a victorious general returning home. Following him were hundreds of players from the Imperial Dynasty and Conquest, and bringing up the rear were 500 guard knights.

After a long while, Jiao Yu finally recovered, and by then, Wu Feng had already picked up the lunchbox filled with meat porridge and handed it to him.

Mailinsera was in a good mood because she now had a new, clear direction for her efforts. Furthermore, the matter of "researching magic crystals" would inevitably involve Luo Di—at the thought of this, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

Yingyue could not hear the sounds from outside because the five levels were made of transparent glass. People outside could see inside, of course—at least into the halls of each floor—but the situations inside the individual rooms remained hidden.

After all, she had only gone to the Shen family yesterday and had even declared that she would no longer associate with the Xie or Shen families.

Of course, these were just jokes between the two. As for whether they could stop the "Buddha," that largely depended on his mood.
