Chapter 53

Since the professor previously assumed that Li Zifeng was bound to die, he had revealed all his secrets to him. Li Zifeng was well aware of the terrifying power of the Poseidon alloy—an alloy with an unimaginably high melting point, an indestructible divine artifact that could never be severed.

Unless one's appearance reached a certain level and the service met a specific standard, no one was qualified to step foot into the private club.

To claim that the water monster was fake was hardly plausible; after all, the legends persisted here, and it was a matter of common knowledge.

His research was not only for the sake of others, but for himself as well. He was more than willing to join hands with others to conquer the millennial curse.

What else could Ye Fan say? The people in this world firmly believed that zombies were simply another way of existing, albeit having become rather ugly.

"Could this be possible?" Zheng Sheng doubted it. While Zheng Wen certainly knew people like the proprietor of the Drunken Fragrance Tavern in Zhi County, he definitely did not know this particular individual. Therefore, Zheng Sheng figured that this person probably wouldn't recognize him either.

The "professor" mentioned by the Withered Night Walk was not a literal code name, but a genuine professor. Whether the two were the same person could not be determined simply by guesswork or intuition.

Tonight, he had completely stolen the spotlight. How could he not infuriate His Highness the Prince of Chu? Accompany him into the palace?

"If you know nothing at all, how can I take you in?" Liu Ce chuckled, turned and mounted his horse, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Kitty had no intention of wasting any more time on these futile matters; she turned around and began searching the room. Megumi紗 was at a loss for what to do and soon joined the search.

These past few days, not only had Shi Ruomei lived in grief, but Yu Xuanxun had also suffered immensely alongside her. Given the choice, she would rather pray to the heavens never to let her carry the Emperor's child.

Having remained completely silent from the very beginning, Shi Ruomei watched quietly as Yu Xuanxun cradled the child with a gaze full of maternal affection, feeling an inexplicable, stinging pain clutch at her heart.

At this thought, Lin Yin instantly grew vigilant, regretting for a brief moment that she had allowed Chen Qingyu to leave.

"I know. Why are you calling me right as work has just started?" Fang Yining's voice on the other end of the line sounded exceptionally cheerful.

With such a large army, they obviously could not take everyone out into the field. Dudu left at least forty percent of his forces stationed in strongholds such as Sarhu, Jiefan, and Gule, taking only around twenty-five hundred men to relieve Hetuala—unaware that Hetuala had already fallen that very day.

Yan Chuyao's brow furrowed even deeper. The sour plum soup she had requested was explicitly ordered without any added sugar; she preferred that sharp, tingling sensation, and sugar was detrimental to health, so she deliberately avoided it.

A moment later, a commotion of people and horses echoed from the street. Liu Xingzuo looked up and saw a tall, stout man riding toward them swiftly, flanked by dozens of elite warriors.

Watching her grandmother's health deteriorate day by day, she realized the time had come for her to take care of her grandmother. Yet, the thought that she would no longer be able to return here often, and that her future life would no longer belong entirely to her, filled her with reluctance.

The Lord of扶摇 Prefecture found it impossible to put his current feelings into words. Here he was, the Holy Son himself, stepped out in person, yet why did he feel so utterly prone to getting beaten up?

Zhao Yuzhe, why must you always be the one stirring up trouble? Doing this once, twice, three times—are you truly so utterly incapable of enduring the slightest grievance or dissatisfaction with the leadership?

Seconds later, the ball of fluorescent mist dissipated, leaving behind an object shaped like a statue resting quietly in its place.

Therefore, to avoid any complications, she still ought to purchase some domestic servants to shut the gossiping tongues of the public.

After finishing these words, Su An clearly caught a trace of disappointment in Jiang Nanyun's eyes.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent; neither of them spoke up voluntarily. Zhao Yuzhe and Liu Qiuyue simply stared into each other's eyes for a long time until Deputy Department Head Liu finally broke the silence.

Later on, Duan Daxiong spent three hundred silver taels to purchase a copy from someone else, thereby fulfilling his wife's cherished wish.

George Dewey was entirely in his element as the commander of the Pacific Fleet. Over the past few years, the United States had aggressively expanded across the Pacific—first Hawaii, and now Vladivostok. The original scale of the Pacific Fleet was no longer sufficient to meet the demands of various regions, so its expansion was only a matter of time.

The cultivator let go by Goudan was named Ma Cong, who was the great-grandson of Ma Jiangming from the Zijin Sect. Upon learning of this, Ma Jiangming sent people to investigate Goudan's background, and through this inquiry, he hatched a plan. Since Goudan was a disciple of Mu Xifeng, why shouldn't Ma Jiangming use Goudan to test Mu Xifeng's bottom line?

At this moment, after the young Master Mu came into "all-around" contact with Yaoyue, the origin of light within Yaoyue's body surged into young Master Mu at a terrifying speed. The moment that origin of light entered his body, it was instantly swallowed whole by his sea of consciousness.

Because I cared deeply, the question of whether we were matched for each other naturally arose. At that very thought, fear gripped my heart.

One had to admit that some events in this world were truly miraculous. The captain of the opposing ship seemed to have genuinely understood; instead of gesturing with his middle finger or jumping up and cursing, he merely cast a look of pity, found the time to smile, and muttered something to the person beside him.

"Of course not! Teacher says every child goes through a rebellious phase, and kids in that phase can be terribly willful!" Meat Bun stated righteously.

There was still the smell of alcohol on me, so I simply grabbed my nightgown and headed to the bathroom to take a shower, letting out a comfortable sigh as I lay back in the bathtub.

This meant the prospects of the demon race had already surpassed those of the witch race. Four individuals among the demons had already received the inheritance of the sages.

Influenced by the earth's malignant qi, a new breed of living creatures—dinosaurs—bred rapidly within a mere millennium. These were the legacy of ancient primordial fierce beasts, appearing across mountains, wildernesses, and rivers to wreak havoc upon heaven and earth, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the beasts of antiquity.

"Then let's have another one," Zhu Zhu finalized the decision. After giving birth to her first child, she had relied on condoms and tracking safe periods for contraception, avoiding getting an intrauterine device inserted at the hospital. Now that she had decided to have another child, she saved herself the trouble of having a ring removed.
