Chapter 42: He Is Colorblind

"Boss, let's think this over carefully before deciding." The monk scratched his bald head, still looking clearly troubled.

Mu Zhennan’s expression was unnatural, his voice trembling as he spoke. He tried hard to recall those days in the Southern Kingdom, a surge of bitterness welling up in his heart; it seemed this secret would not be kept after all.

Did he really not know why Doom Cucumber had come here? The guard who had gone in to summon him earlier must have already given him a rough account of what had happened. In short, that fat slob wanted Doom Cucumber dead.

I wanted to ask my master's wife, but I didn't dare. I returned to my room with a long face, and shortly after, she pushed the door open and entered, her face showing a rare, grave expression.

Game characters! Interdimensional rifts! The secret of death! These words swirled in my mind, recurring over and over. Finally, I slowly adjusted my breathing, trying to calm my state of mind.

Li Sheng didn't look like he was lying or making excuses. Su Mei was completely at a loss, her eyes turning to me for guidance.

I naturally understood that what Brin Yi said was for the sake of the bigger picture, so I didn't take those words to heart. Besides, I was helping of my own volition.

With that, he poured out a full bowl with a splash, taking up a stance as if to challenge me to a fight to the death.

After walking for a short while through a narrow passage, I heard several people talking ahead, and others kept rushing toward that direction.

What kind of person does she take me for? I had just laid a hand on her younger brother; how could I possibly think these ambiguous words of hers were an attempt to curry favor?

However, Hernas was not to be trifled with. Bearing the title of "Master," he was said to be a professional held in high regard by the imperial family, the very person who had orchestrated the merger between the guild and the adventurer organization.

The live stream comments were refreshing at an overwhelming pace, filled with remarks from die-hard fans, harem fans, casual viewers, and shipping fans, among others. Meanwhile, You Zishi’s classmates and roommates, who had just returned to the dormitory, were helping to post comments and build momentum.

Excited, she examined everything in the courtyard and couldn't help but walk over to the storage room next to the kitchen. A pungent smell of garlic hit her nostrils; the room was piled high with garlic.

Unlike the Nangong family, Nangong Yue had to use force to unify the other major families. Only by using overwhelming martial power, combined with the support of the elders, could he fully realize his grand ambition of hegemony.

The dust settled, revealing Tang Ze’s lean and sturdy physique. With a squelch, he pulled the blood-stained long blade from his waist, blood splattering the ground. He then forcefully drove the blood-soaked weapon into a crack beside his feet.

Ling Zhou-tian felt that if they didn't warn Shi Chenghong, those assassins might very well succeed in setting a trap here.

Even if a powerhouse from the Divine Palace Realm were to arrive, it would be difficult to break through the armor's defense without using their ultimate techniques.

Xu Guangqi knew what Long Huamin was getting at and smiled, saying, "That won't happen. The Emperor doesn't believe in any religion other than himself. Let’s just sit to the side and wait; we must be ready to receive him when he arrives." With that, he walked inside first.

In truth, Ye Zhen understood everything he said, yet to put his mind at ease, she nodded in agreement. Jun Ninglan used his light-foot technique to disappear into the vast, snowy expanse with a few leaps.

"What is the situation in Wuji City? And Jizhou?" As soon as he sat down, Dong Zhuo asked with a hint of urgency.

"Let’s see if it’s top-tier equipment. If it's ruined, so be it. Starlight, I’ll leave it to you. Remember to make it clean; don’t leave any evidence," Andy said, staring at the weapon in his hand, leaving everyone speechless.

He went to the teahouse as he always did, because this particular spot offered a perfect view of the crowd exiting the hospital.

Qi Ming turned into a green shadow and appeared behind Li Gao. As he emerged, his entire right arm turned completely green, with neat scales flickering across its surface.

Because Andy was submerged under a massive pile of snow, he looked like a snowman with only his head visible, his body unable to move. However, Andy could still use his skills, so he immediately activated "Light Speed Movement."

Besides, only a few people in the game knew Andy. Yue Ru's father had not met him in the game at all, but through protection services. Thus, he didn't know what kind of person Andy was when he wasn't acting as a bodyguard, but now he had witnessed it firsthand.

Dorgon was shocked and, while ordering his men to return fire with arrows, shouted for them to retreat. He thought to himself, *When did the Dorot people get equipped with muskets?* In the pitch-black night, with the enemy holding the high ground, he could not continue the pursuit under any circumstances. He made a prompt decision to set up camp on the spot, planning to see what was what once dawn broke.

The competition had reached its final stage. Although the pair of Yin Xiu and Xiao Qingtong were very formidable, many people were not particularly optimistic about them.

If it were just that, it would have been fine, but right after this round, Su Shi sent someone to notify them that it was time to eat, and the two had to stop, still feeling unfulfilled.

He turned and walked out, leaving Walker alone in the conference room. He suddenly wanted to laugh; after working so hard for so long, he could finally relax.

When Zhou Zhenkun was talking to me, Cong Shaoguang happened to pass by. He didn't even look at us and walked away in a hurry.

We had been out for a while now; I estimated that not only the Zhao family but the Su family were looking for us as well. Staying with this girl any longer would only increase the danger, and before long, the Su family would start to grow suspicious.

She also wanted to go and kill Ouyang Yifeng, or reveal that he was the "Ghost-Faced Rakshasa," making him a public enemy to everyone.

However, one shouldn't be too absolute; after all, two wealthy wives had died—perhaps it wasn't just a coincidence?

It turned out her first meeting with Jiang Yufan wasn't "love at first sight," but rather a moment of such embarrassment for her.

As it turned out, perhaps because the distance was too great, one could still only see a dense mass of black; it was impossible to see any specific details at all.

After the banquet, Ning Yaobi returned to the Marquis's manor. With a heart full of guilt and unease, he escorted his grandmother back to the Grand Princess's residence and spoke to Zhuo Zhaojie, who had been pretending to be unwell all day, about his observations of the Crown Prince during the banquet.

The Tianxuan Gate was like a dragon’s gate; though it was close at hand, crossing it was as daunting as traversing the galaxy. This trial had humbled every one of the rising stars among the new generation of disciples, stripping away their arrogance.

Yet, the moment she sensed something was wrong, almost as a subconscious reflex, she took a long stride and lunged directly toward Jihuan.

Looking at He Xiang, his face was pale, and he looked quite exhausted. But all of this was merely a deliberate act by He Xiang; if he had revealed his true strength, he wouldn't have had to go to such lengths to blend in with the crowd.
