Chapter 63: In a Past Life, Protecting the Master Ended Up Boiling Her Alive

Seated inside the carriage heading toward the outskirts, Shen Ningyuan kept her head lowered, lost in deep thought.

Luying sat beside her, glancing at Shen Ningyuan from time to time. Seeing no abnormalities in her demeanor, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

A moment later, she stole another glance at Shen Ningyuan, then withdrew her gaze.

After a little while longer, she looked over once more.

Throughout the entire journey, Luying repeatedly checked on Shen Ningyuan several times.

In the middle of the night, a sudden and ferocious fire broke out in the school dormitory. Awakened by the startled cries of his fellow students, Wang Zheng leapt up, grabbed Ye Zi, and rushed outside, only to find the blaze already spreading rapidly. He hurried over to check the resting place of the other two individuals. Sure enough, they were gone. A surge of bitter resentment rose in his heart, but nothing could be done to salvage the situation now.

This time, Yun Xiao entered the city disguised once more as Xiao Yun. He glanced at the wanted poster still plastered across the city gate, recalling Long Yichen and Long Qianqiong whom he had encountered here previously. With a faint smile, he took a step and crossed into the city.

"If you were to unleash your full potential without holding back, ordinary powerhouses at the mid-stage of the Sixth Rank would not last a single round against you. That casual attack of yours just now was probably enough to rival eighty percent of the full-strength blow delivered by the Demonic Dragon Ape when utilizing the Annihilation Law," Lei Yu estimated slightly.

It was a truly terrifying feat, for Ding Jingxi had concealed himself by borrowing the power of "Space," yet this single hand had forced him out using pure, unadulterated power of destruction.

With a soft crack, a fracture appeared across the previously smooth surface of the Creation Mirror. After the Candle Dragon Fiend Lord's brows twitched violently several times, it withdrew its finger. The mirror was now completely pitch black. Its connection to the Jianghua Court Realm had not been severed, but the realm itself had been utterly destroyed.

The Third Uncle knew he certainly had no way of bringing back Yue Shanshan, but he believed Qi Yu possessed the means to do so. Yet, seeing Qi Yu maintain such a leisurely attitude, he could not help shouting out in frantic anxiety.

Lei Yu neatly arranged the five drops of Primordial Human Liquid before him, extending his soul power like sensitive tentacles to sense them meticulously.

"I've seen far too many people just like us who, ultimately pressured by the weight of living, had no choice but to walk away and lead lives mapped out for them by the majority—lives deemed 'correct.' I'm terrified of that." Lin Xiaoshang deftly dodged the question about how many relationships she had actually been in. Such a fatal question, of course, could never be answered truthfully.

The sisters bearing the surname Shui shook their heads. "It doesn't matter at all, it really doesn't. We are already family now, so there's no need to return anything. Besides, we have no use for it."

It was as if the world had been frozen in that exact instant. If anyone were to feel a sense of joy at all this unfolding, it would undoubtedly be the most fanatical of artists. For in this manner, every single detail within the galaxy was laid bare before the eye, clearly observable, meticulously delineable, and capable of recreating the universe in its pristine, original form.

Lingxi nodded upon hearing this, the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally dropping halfway back down, and she waved her hand to let Yizhi return to her duties.

"What have you seen!" Tang Ning demanded, already clamping her hand tightly around Zhang Chongxin's wrist. Even upon sensing that he possessed not a shred of internal energy, she still kept her grip locked firmly on him.

The one who had been "hooked" over by Helian Ye in such a manner was the triangular-eyed man who had shown his face second earlier. Seeing Helian Ye pull off such a trick, he could not help but wear a look of profound astonishment.

Upon returning to the hospital, Gu Hanhao rendezvoused with Ling Lan and the others to catch up on Qiao Qi's status. Qiao Qi was currently undergoing emergency resuscitation, and Qiao Qi's mother had just regained consciousness, her emotions running violently high while Qiao Bojun attended to her.

Ma Chao shook his single arm, causing the middle section of his long spear to bulge outward, forming a fan-like shape centered around Guan Yu's torso. Immediately following a whistling rush of wind, the flexed portion snapped violently backward, slamming viciously toward Guan Yu's flank.

Zuo Liang turned around to see He Xuan smiling at him as well, signaling with her eyes for him to take a seat. Consequently, Zuo Liang felt even more acutely that he had behaved with undue panic.
