Chapter 49 What on Earth Does He Want?

Shen Qingqing had made up her mind to divorce. Jiang Zhixun had gone on a mission, so she waited patiently for his return.

During that time, she ran into Zhou Xiaomei once in the cafeteria.

Perhaps she had learned about Lin Fengmian’s “good deed.” Zhou Xiaomei apologized to her and even sent Lin Fengmian back to her hometown ahead of time.

She said she would never involve herself in Lin Fengmian’s affairs again and would simply let her find someone to date back home.

This was a matter for the Lin family. Shen Qingqing had no wish to interfere, nor did she offer any opinion.

Xue Gao looked at Kaihaote, trying to signal that he notice the strange phenomena around them. Kaihaote, however, was wholly occupied with speaking to the old man in green robes beside him.

After leaving the protective barrier, Xue Gao conjured an ice shield to fend off the flames that sought to consume him. Even so, he could barely move within the blaze. His clothes were burned away bit by bit, while the heat left his head spinning and his mind clouded.

As a strategic city connecting the northern and southern federations, Jinnan City did not have the population of a first-tier metropolis, but its economic strength still ranked among the top ten in the entire Star Federation.

As Lu Yu spoke, he pointed with his left hand at Number Two, who was trapped. The vines wrapped around Number Two instantly shattered into fragments, and Number Two broke free at once.

Captain Wright’s fire-support platform was shaped like an equilateral triangle. Those who intended to join the Wings of Freedom squad had been deliberately—or perhaps inadvertently—separated into several insignificant positions.

Early the next morning, Lu Yu discovered that his wife, his younger sister, Sheng Aotian, Zhou Chong, and the others were all no longer in the city. As news spread that a large number of spatial portals had been discovered in the wilderness, more and more warriors formed teams and ventured out on expeditions.

For several days in succession, people arrived one after another. Then, on this particular day, a dark shadow came rushing over. It reached the light barrier outside Qingluo Lake, only to halt abruptly.

Wan Shengkuang, who moments earlier had worn an air of stern impartiality, hurriedly bent toward the dwarf, his face breaking into a deferential smile.

Luo Ran’s method of training might not have been his own original idea. But he was unquestionably the first to practice it, and he had pushed it even further than anyone had imagined possible.

Savi could not be certain whether this strike would harm the Death Knell, but he knew that there was an eighty percent chance he would not survive.

The blow struck a Daoist in the chest. His entire chest caved inward, and blood poured violently from his mouth.

Several times, he had hovered on the brink of life and death. The Freeheart Iron Rod had even swept past Huang Tang’s forehead, coming within a hair’s breadth of taking his life.

Regardless of whether Chang Mao would ever come to understand, he would never allow the Chang household to become an obstacle to the court’s collection of commercial taxes. Nor would he stand by and watch Chang Mao make the wrong decision and drag the entire household into an abyss.

However, the chaotic energy within Su Chen was relatively pure and could dissolve the aura surrounding the men in black. Unfortunately, the chaotic energy within Su Chen was too thin to sustain a prolonged battle. It was nothing like the power within the men in black, which seemed inexhaustible.

Zhang Long was quick-witted. Seeing He Chen’s expression, he sensed that something was wrong and prepared to drag Lin Bei away.

Although his heart had been blasted apart, Rong Nianbing, at the peak of the first divine level, should never have remained unconscious until now. The Golden Dragon King’s divine power was the greatest factor affecting him.

“You mean the thieves who came to my house a few days ago were from the Jiang clan? How do you know?” Old Madam Liu finally spoke.

Taking advantage of the sandstorm that blotted out the sky, Xie Haifeng’s Kun Battalion was not discovered by the guards at the city gate until it had penetrated to within a hundred meters of Qinghuang Market’s eastern gate. For a battle unit composed entirely of martial artists, a hundred meters could be crossed in the blink of an eye. Xie Haifeng was even forced to suppress his urge to seize the gate outright and deliberately make some noise.

Li Shiqing’s face was full of resistance. She wanted to pull free of the hand gripping her, yet could not quite bear to do so. Having returned to a peaceful life, she had grown somewhat accustomed to it. Although those horrifying memories still remained, they no longer caused her any serious trouble. At most, they made her cherish the happiness before her all the more.
