Volume 1, Chapter 65: Does He Really Have to Be This Clingy?

With a sharp screech, the southeast city gates suddenly flew open. Amidst deafening battle cries, countless rebel soldiers swarmed out, charging straight toward the positions of the Great Hua army.

"The captain is our family now. Wherever the captain goes, we naturally follow," Bai Dingyi said with a calm expression.

The seven figures remained motionless. The Tatars spurred their horses into a charge, and the two sides rapidly closed the distance like arrows about to strike a target.

Before falling into a deep slumber, the Dao Ancestor and that Heavenly Dao powerhouse transported a continent preserved from that universe into this present universe. Taishang Laojun temporarily left the Purple Tenuity Palace, using the Heavenly Dao divine tower sent by the Dao Ancestor to stabilize the void; thus, the Mihualuo Realm came into existence.

"It seems I have somewhat underestimated you!" Old Man Genryusai's voice suddenly turned somewhat ethereal and blurred, yet the solemnity hidden within his words remained palpable.

Shortly after, numerous monks garbed in the religious vestments of the Great Sage Kingdom appeared around the expedition team. Judging by the aura emanating from them, they ought to be top-tier magicians.

Upon returning home, Shanzi grew increasingly resentful the more he thought about it. He did not want to die, let alone die in such an obscure and baffling manner. If he had genuinely committed a crime punishable by death, he would accept it, but the reality was entirely different. He was truly unwilling to suffer such an unjust death out of mere collateral anger from that bitch.

"Is she looking for Mr. Chushou?" Jacqueline asked impatiently, driven by her own preoccupations to voice her subjective assumption.

"So you would rather die than become mine?" Gripping Xue Lengyu's chin with a slight increase in pressure, Li Mu leaned in close. He had never been rejected—never been rejected so directly. How could he possibly swallow this grievance?

All the students were dumbfounded. None of them had ever imagined that Yu Qingqing could defuse this farce in such a clever way.

Her former graduate advisor was quite pleased; several years had passed, and she had grown even more mature.

Su Jinghui, however, was amused by these words. The corners of her lips curved upward, and shallow smile lines rippled at the edges of her eyes, though she still averted her gaze and said nothing further to tease him.

This sensation could be described as entirely unprecedented, yet for them at this moment, it was something they had no choice but to endure.

"Why haven't they woken up yet?" Hearing Zhang Wu let out a long sigh of relief, Zhang Yu turned his head to glance at him. Seeing Zhang Wu's relaxed expression, and noticing that Wang Bolong and Wen Chenglong's complexions had returned to normal, his own expression eased slightly, though he still appeared quite worried.

The thirty-five days' worth of flowers and trees had all been personally planted by the Lord Heavenly Sovereign, with Aunt Su Ran only occasionally tending to them on his behalf. She had once heard Aunt Su Ran say that many of the flora grew so well simply because the Lord Heavenly Sovereign, fearing they would wither when he planted them, had infused them with a great deal of celestial energy.

Be that as it may, looking at the Kirishima Touka before him, Zhang Liang still felt a hint of suppressed anger in his heart—a feeling completely different from when he was outside.

"Where is our Qing'er? What have you done with her?" Forcing back the deep sorrow in her heart, Xia Houzi slowly raised her head, her gaze filled with resolute questioning.

"I think Zhang Liang really likes you," Yoriko said suddenly with a hint of envy while Kirishima Touka was still lost in her thoughts.

Opening their eyes, the three of them were back in the underground tunnel. At this moment, Chen Feng, Sun Lin, and Qilin Sixteen were locked in a fierce melee with the two fourth-rank demon star generals and eight demonic fierce beasts. As for those suddenly mutated aberrant inner demons, almost all of them had been completely wiped out.

Just as the two of them were talking, Wu Xingying noticed that brown bear had appeared at the cave entrance once again, grinning and calling out with a "yo-yo" sound, before tossing two large fish inside.

The rest of the people were utterly astonished. The leader and Bureau Chief Zhao stepped forward, and upon seeing the scene before them, their jaws dropped wide open.

At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun, who was struggling hard to distract herself, saw Lin Shenshi put his toothbrush back. After wiping his mouth with a towel, he turned around, pulled open the bathroom door, and walked out.

Putting down his phone once again and raising his head to exhale a breath, Lin Shenshi stood quietly in place, waiting for the arrival of Li Zhengyao and the others.

Right at that moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind the curtains, deliberately lowered as if discussing some confidential matter.

"If I really were to leave a step before you, do you truly intend to die along with me?" she asked, her pretty face full of earnest seriousness.

When he was still in swaddling clothes, Patriarch Ma saw him and remarked, "This child has extraordinary bone structure, destined to rise from the mundane dust. In the future, when you encounter Lu, abide with him; when you see Zhong, strike and remember it." Later, Lü Dongbin traveled to Mount Lu, met the Fire Dragon Real Man, and received instruction in the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique.

Previously, she had attached great importance to this auction in hopes of acquiring heavenly secret treasures from it, but now she no longer needed them. Her enthusiasm for the auction had correspondingly waned, and she rarely placed bids, only calling out a price upon occasionally catching sight of unprecedented and rare treasures to purchase a few items.

At this moment, Bei Leixi understood in her heart that her feelings for this man had long surpassed mere liking; she had fallen in love with him, and she loved this man deeply.

"Why should we return it?" Gu Jinxi's voice sounded as though it had been quenched in ice shards, yet Qin Chuchu acted as if she hadn't heard a thing, letting out a whimper as she lunged forward.

"Get some good rest, we'll be at the hospital soon," Li Jiayu said, changing the subject to hint that he should shut up.

"Let's go." Duan Weiqi was in a good mood, feeling that they could finally enjoy some couple time again. He pulled Li Jiayu into his arms and kissed her.

Yu You, who had been burying her head in fierce eating, looked up abruptly upon hearing her son's words. It was already too late to stop Tom.

If it were merely this, Grandma Ye would not have grown angry; after all, this was their own choice and did not interfere with Grandma Ye in any way.

That night on Jiayu Island, Li Jiayu and Duan Weiqi lay together on the beach, gazing up at the stars in the night sky.
