Chapter 40: He Will Snatch Jiang Shiyi Away

Jiang Shiyi stared at the system interface with hollow eyes.

Zhou Huailing’s kindness toward her was genuine, and since she had taken over the original owner's body, she was obligated to fulfill the duties of a daughter. Yet, on the other hand, there was Huo Yixun; she could not bear to hurt him a second time.

Fate always loved to play tricks on people.

Jiang Shiyi felt like an iceberg standing under the scorching sun—above her was the searing heat, and beneath her feet lay bone-chilling cold.

Lin Yu brought her back to the hospital.

As Feng Qiuhong spoke, Qin Tai’s screaming did not cease. The sound was miserable and had grown hoarse; clearly, he was exhausted from shouting, yet he still dared not stop listening. As Feng Qiuhong recounted the events, she did not realize why Qin Tai still had the strength to scream.

If he were to put on a suit, no one would believe that this was merely a boy under eighteen.

So far, not a single allied player had complained about failing to receive the promised immortal-grade weapons or similar rewards. The addition of Thor Tianyi had undoubtedly made the Dawn Alliance even more formidable, which eased the concerns of those players who had been hesitant, prompting them to join the cause.

The seaside was jagged with reefs, many of them sharp and protruding. Falling from such a height, if one could not control their trajectory, there was a high probability of striking the rocks.

"What are we to do? This damn Ye Jin! It must be that bastard's handiwork!" Yu Lingxiao’s expression was somber. Every time he stepped outside, he felt the gazes cast upon him like swarms of flies, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Step-slide: Starting from a defensive stance, the rear foot steps forward to the position of the front foot, followed immediately by the front foot stepping forward.

He endured the burning desire surging within him, gently patting Yan Luoxi’s face. With a hoarse voice, he called out, "Luoxi, Luoxi, it’s alright, it’s alright... don’t be nervous!" He tried to soothe her panic and unease.

"Haha... Jae-suk, I wanted to record a few public service songs, and I immediately thought of you," Liu Yihan said with a smile.

Ye Jin’s fingers suddenly flickered, each drawing a curved semicircle until they formed the shape of a yin-yang disc.

Tang Junfeng looked at Lin Anqi with concern, his hand gently stroking her back in a gesture of comfort.

Feeling Muyan’s hand loosen its grip, Ling felt as if his heart had been torn away along with it.

Living there every day was like having a knife pressed against her throat—trembling, anxious, and living with a madman who could erupt at any moment. She never wanted to experience such a life again. The mere thought of him made her feel as if her neck were being tightly constricted, as if she were suffocating.

Call her heartless if you will, or cold-blooded! Either way, no feelings meant no feelings. Even when she first arrived in this dimension, affected by the influence of the Linmei Stone, she had felt some fluctuations of emotion toward Liu Hen, but hadn't she refrained from doing anything?

His younger brother had said that their family affairs must never be known to outsiders, and that anything regarding Youran must be kept secret from everyone. Thus, to Leng Mingzhao’s questions, he gave ambiguous, half-truthful answers. In the end, Leng Mingzhao failed to learn anything about Youran and simply gave up.

In truth, what angered Ma Yichen most was his own heart—that he clearly wanted to stop it, yet found himself unable to do so.

Li Chenyi and Cheng Huayu walked over and sat down. Chen Shaoqing seemed to sense the change in the atmosphere at home; when he saw Li Chenyi, he did not act as exaggeratedly as before, but simply sat in his place, smiling as he watched Li Chenyi approach and take a seat.

Bei Fengxuanqiu’s eyes were trembling. Along this journey, how many renowned top-tier geniuses had Liu Feifan forced out of the Spirit Road?

Su Xiling looked stunned; she had not expected him to give up, nor had she expected him to be so loyal.

This sudden expression of gratitude left Gu Yan stunned for three seconds. The Li Chenyi he knew was not the type of person who liked to say those three words.
