Volume 1, Chapter 62: Afraid to Step Outside

For the past two days, Shen Yurou's heart had been hanging by a thread.
Hled up in the guest house, she stayed strictly indoors, refusing to step outside even for a moment. She didn't even visit the shop she cared about most.
Most of the time, she huddled on the bed, clutching a thick cotton quilt tightly in her arms.
Even when she was sweating all over from the heat, she refused to let go.
At first, the three maids, Qiuyue and the others, didn't think much of it, assuming she was simply exhausted from the hurried, overnight move.
However, he wore no helmet, sported filthy flip-flops, and had a watermelon-cut hairstyle with purple highlights in his white hair, all wildly disheveled in the wind, paired with a haughty gaze. Looking at him this way, he might just have wanted to be an unrestrained performance artist.
Bai Yu's heart produced another powerful thud. Under the illumination of the moonlight, Bai Yu's hair slowly transformed into a shade of blue, which then spread to cover his face.
Xing Wentian let out a long breath. For the entire morning, he had been watching this battle with intense nervousness, terrified that the battle line would suddenly collapse.
Countless bolts of lightning swirled upward from the ground, surging into the sky. For a moment, the airspace above the arena was a mass of thunderclouds, making it impossible to discern the situation inside from the outer perimeter.
Wang Zhengyou cracked a grin, smiling silently. His right hand was empty, and the saber had been put away somewhere unknown. He bent down, holding a tray in his left hand while supporting the back of the figure in black with his right, slowly lowering his body to the ground. Then, raising a hand, he closed the dead man's eyes, looking precisely like a mortician seeing off the departed.
"Is it really that safe? I don't even know if my Chinese driver's license is still valid. If I actually run someone over, you'll have to come visit me in prison," Che Yu said as he lit a Furongwang Blue Sky cigarette and took a drag. He then glanced at the rearview mirror to confirm there were no electric bikes behind him before opening the door and stepping out.
Seeing the Third Elder nod, Jun Wuming was overjoyed. Hastily bowing once more, he said, "Many thanks to the Third Elder for granting this." With that, he flew directly toward the location of the Profound Gate.
"You two, stop arguing. We need to get ready for dinner," Mrs. Weasley said, tapping the table. She did not want Fred and George leaking too much information.
"The house of Seventh Grandpa on the east side of the back mountain has been vacant for a long time. No one has lived there since Seventh Grandpa passed away. We can hide there," Lin Su said after searching through Sun Xiu's pitiful memories.
Tang Ruoruo turned her head away to ignore him, though she didn't press any further, clearly having been persuaded.
Just then, they saw a beam of light in the distance flickering intermittently as it approached them.
I used my phone to take pictures of these three text messages, and then had Pang Qi take me to consult the technical department to see if there was any possibility of artificially turning one's own mobile phone number into a disconnected number. The staff in the technical department said such a possibility existed.
Terrified that Wan'er might go out alone and get lost, Yin Qingrou rolled weakly off the bed, only to be caught in a pair of strong arms.
A surging, destructive aura instantly descended. Fang Zheng felt as though his every step was hindered as if trapped in a mire, and his speed could not be unleashed at all.
Even in their prime, the three dynasties and four sects would celebrate for a long time if a Genuine Emptiness Realm powerhouse emerged, and might even hold a Dao-discussion conference among Annihilation Realm powerhouses.
He Yue waited for a moment. It seemed there was some reaction. Oh, heavens! I'm completely finished this time. I hope you let me be reborn once more, and still into this exact body. Otherwise, my wives will think I'm a heartless man who abandoned them.
Although the Wuyang Divine Palace had been suppressed, displaying even a sliver of its might was enough to leave any powerhouse in the Pangu World in awe.
What on earth was he trying to do? Has he grown tired of living? Not even a body of iron could withstand such punishment. The more Gu Limo thought about it, the angrier she became, losing even her appetite for food.
For a moment, the scene truly transformed into a living hell, with those mists of blood and shrieks of agony rising one after another.
