Chapter 24: Is Huo Shaoqin the One She Is Marrying?

The sky was high and clear, with a few white clouds drifting across the azure expanse.

Looking out into the distance, the ginkgo tree outside the window had turned a vibrant golden yellow. Great swathes of leaves drifted down on the breeze, adding a unique splash of color to the white winter and creating a truly poetic scene.

Jiang Shiyi rested her chin on one hand, her head leaning against the window frame as she stared outside, a leisurely and contented smile lingering on her face. Ever since Huo Yixun had dropped her off at her dormitory yesterday, she had maintained that same smile for a long time.

Under the awe-struck gazes of the monsters, Tang Ze led a contingent of fallen Rogues and monster minions into the red veil of light.

The stone-carved man remained silent for a moment before continuing, "I am the one who calls the shots here, including the entire First Manor."

However, just as he was about to pounce on the Xinang, the cunning creature resorted to its old tricks once more, flattening itself against the ground and vanishing into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

Gu Yue nodded, then instructed Xia Shu and the others to look after Sophie. Immediately, he used his power to manifest a coffin, placed Bentley inside, and proceeded with the burial.

"Thank you, Zhenniang." He had not expected that coming to Jinan would leave him no chance to meet that noble person. If not for Lin Zhenniang’s help, he feared his trip to Jinan would have been entirely in vain.

But at this moment, Lu Gui’s stubborn temperament had flared up, and he was no longer listening to reason, set with single-minded determination on finding the Phantom City.

Seeing her dazed, An Ronghe reached out and tapped her cheek. Lin Zhenniang instinctively raised her hand to touch it, only to find it covered in black ash.

Atropos was not slow, yet he still had one leg severed. In Gu Yue’s view, this was entirely due to his own stupidity; being tall was not all benefits—for instance, the time it took to swing his arms was quite long. If one could just suppress him, escaping would still be possible.

Seeing this, I felt a vague sense of unease in my heart and instinctively looked toward Zhao Erben at my side. Ever since Zhao Erben had agreed to the Black Boss’s request to come along and assess the situation, the two of them had barely exchanged a word on the journey. Zhao Erben had remained sullen and silent the whole time, and there was no telling what he was thinking.

Of course, the God-Speed Secret Technique was merely a low-level agility art within the Secret Realm; there were far more profound ones waiting for Chen Feng to learn if he should have the opportunity in the future.

Yugito had to admit, even if she told the Raikage all of this, what could the Raikage actually do?

That’s right! When I left home last time, that bag seemed to fly into my hand as well—could it be that I have the ability to retrieve objects from a distance?

The hundred-foot giant python felt a jolt of alarm. Knowing it was impossible to dodge, it had no choice but to twist its massive body, coiling its tail around a mountain peak to withstand the blow head-on.

Sighing, Annie leaned back against the wall, rubbing a ring on her index finger.

"Chaos Grass, you can't be serious with this joke. Have you lost your memory or have you been reincarnated?" I tapped my head.

Didn't they say they would let him go? Why was he appearing here again? The words of Over-the-Shoulder Dragon were truly unreliable.

Tsunade actually had a hunch; if it weren't to find her, why would someone from the Hyuga clan be idling away their time in a gambling den like this?

Fortunately, the Lord of Pudding City and the others arrived on the scene shortly after, breaking the Giant Axe Knight’s awkwardness.

"Then, what about Lu Lingshan?" Xiang Kang was not yet willing to give up. Lu Lingshan had embarrassed him, and he wanted his revenge.

Hearing this, Old Ma felt relieved. Any matter is always much easier to handle once you have an excuse.

Just a few days ago, this place had been packed with people, though most were angry consumers there to return products or seek repairs. The Motorola Group’s new mobile phone had suffered from severe quality issues, leading to such a surge of customers that it nearly felt as if the company were finished.

With Zhou Yunchuan’s promise, Yang Bo felt reassured. He had already earned quite a lot on this trip to Nanyue—at least three billion was already in his pocket, not to mention the medicinal herbs, spiritual grasses, porcelain, and liquid metal. Even if the rewards promised by Zhou Yunchuan turned out to be mediocre, he wouldn't mind.

How could this be! Across the entire Heaven Illusion Continent, besides the Dragon Emperor, who else possessed such power?
