Chapter 54: He Can Put His Life on the Line

The hospital's annual banquet was very simple; colleagues from various departments simply gathered for a meal, entirely lacking the flashy and elaborate procedures of later generations.

Jiang Shiyi thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and her good mood lasted right up until the gathering was about to disperse.

Just as everyone stood up to leave, a disheveled figure suddenly burst out from the corridor around the corner, wailing miserably.

Her clothes were already in disarray, her feet were covered in blood, and even her undergarments were missing.

Let us encourage one another, hoping that all those in this world who refuse to yield to fate may attain all they rightfully deserve through relentless struggle.

Immediately following the escape route popularized by the Super Anti-Japanese War System, Ye Tian nimbly maneuvered and quickly vanished into the distance.

"Otherwise, how could the barbarian race possess such formidable physical strength? According to ancient legends among the barbarians, that Blood Spirit Crystal is transformed from the flesh and blood essence of the barbarian progenitor, possessing unimaginable power. The primary reason we came here to trade is to exchange spiritual stones for Blood Spirit Crystal stones," Tang Juan explained.

With the rifle-like Blaze Fang aimed at the two of them, having successfully defeated the other second-year students, Lilith's self-confidence reached an unparalleled height. She failed to notice the strange expressions in the eyes of Busujima Saeko and Shiina when she uttered those words.

Dong Yue angrily sat down on the ground. It wasn't that he disbelieved in destiny; he simply had no desire to make an enemy of the imperial court. How long has it been since we started living a good life? What is this nonsense? Dong Zhuo may be your father-in-law, Niu Fu, but he is certainly not mine. Why should I follow you to attack Chang'an?

The two packed their luggage and belongings, then mounted their horses and headed toward Mount Emei. The journey was bitterly cold, with fierce winds like knives constantly lashing against their faces. By the time they arrived at Mount Emei, both Xizhi and Lianyu's faces were flushed red.

"Mr. Su, I am not entirely clear on the specifics; I only heard it through the grapevine. If it turns out to be wrong, you needn't believe it." Igor smiled. Indeed, from his perspective, the price of that island was overly exorbitant.

In other words, they were not nobles in their bones. Though they might have grown immensely powerful, they did not command a deep sense of respect from Jiang Jin.

However, if Hyper-Dimension Technology failed to secure the administrative rights of Alipay, it would abandon the acquisition and independently launch a brand-new online payment software, whose performance and user experience would inevitably surpass Alipay's.

Yue Xia's gaze shifted toward Hong Tian, burning with absolute determination. He swore silently in his heart that he would willingly shed blood and lay down his life for Hong Tian in the future to repay this immense debt of gratitude.

"Lord Military Counselor is a Grand Master of the Void Transformation Realm; how could he possibly have fallen?" The young demon cultivator immediately refused to believe it.

The offensive by the Wu army could not be far off; if they failed to achieve a breakthrough quickly, their previous investments would be wasted.

"In that case, the next step is patient waiting." Based on his own judgment, Lu Yu made the decision to wait.

"My Lady has treated the two of us with great favor and bestowed upon us endless rewards. If needed, we are willing to go through fire and water for her until our dying breath; these minor physical torments are truly nothing worth mentioning," Qian Jiu and his companion declared one after another, pledging their loyalty.

By this time, Lu Yu's spatial bracelet had already accumulated semi-finished products of more than a dozen different materials.

The expressions of those present instantly turned shocked, and the gazes directed at me were tinged with a newfound awe. According to intelligence reports, the cult forces there, including corpse soldiers, numbered a full twenty thousand strong! Yet I maintained an air of utter calm and nonchalance.

Regaining his composure, he discovered that a deep crater nearly two zhang wide had been blasted into the ground a hundred zhang below. Instantly trembling with fear, he finally understood the terrifying power of this device, and why she showed not the slightest bit of fear toward him, a cultivator of the Void Return realm.

As they spoke, the gushing blood had already flowed back into Dou Ming's body, and his head had completely returned to its proper place.

After resting for a full day, Wu Hai and the others finally caught up by the morning of the second day. Seeing me, Chu Yaqi rushed forward and threw her arms around me. Gazing at her worried expression, a wave of warmth welled up in my heart.
