Chapter 37 [Second Update]

And now, the Netherworld had learned of the Celestial Realm’s plan ahead of time and devised countermeasures. Wang Ge still had no idea what those measures were, but judging from Xu Zi’s confident expression, this was clearly no joke.

At the Center of the Storm

Because of a certain film, Zhang Fan had been thrust into the center of a storm in the United States. The address of his villa had also been exposed, and some people had even come to demonstrate outside it. This left Tang Qing and the rest of the bodyguard team extremely tense.

Chen Feng naturally recognized the sword wielded by the cultivator. It belonged to his master, Lan Yue. Its appearance in this cultivator’s hands was enough to prove that he was a friend, not an enemy.

Yueling looked troubled as well. The hide and bones of the fourth-tier giant-jawed crocodile had already been divided up, and Ling Fengyan was leading them away to establish a new ambush site. This made the two sisters of the Blue Sea Immortal Palace anxious. Could they really just admit defeat?

The Desert Scarlet Ant Queen was sent flying by the shockwave. Clutching her chest, she stared toward Li Bai in terror. At that moment, Li Bai hovered in midair, wrapped in white light, while the vague image of a phoenix appeared behind him.

Yes, this accident had mainly been caused by a natural disaster. Yet hidden behind that disaster were things unknown to the public. Even without this calamity, something might still have happened to the coach.

“Thud!”

His heart began to pound faster, and the sorrow in his chest expanded without limit. Just as he began to feel suffocated, he saw a crimson wolf demon beside a large tree not far away, its bloody maw tearing into a corpse.

Xu Zhen swept the black flag backward. The Three Zhu Ghosts and more than a dozen evil spirits immediately ceased their attacks and retreated to Xu Zhen’s side. Even the purple sable bounded back to its master’s shoulder in a few leaps.

If they were separated, he would miss her so desperately that his heart would break. But they had been together for a lifetime, and he had never once considered such a possibility.

With foxlike eyes and raised outer corners, he examined Ruan Meng. Then he licked his lips, bent down, and leaned close to her face.

Politics had always been like this. If one chose the wrong side, one could end up with one’s family ruined and one’s life destroyed. Everyone began leaving their seats.

On Skywatch Peak, Yun Shi was already waiting. His white robes embroidered with blue patterns made him look as though he had stepped out of a mural. When Yun Chi, dressed in white robes embroidered with purple patterns, stood beside him, it seemed that even the sun and moon paled by comparison.

Yun Chi said, “I’ll come find you.”

With that, he leaped onto a tree branch and departed in the hazy light between dawn and nightfall.

Qiu Nong had found Lin Nuannuan’s earlier words somewhat confusing, but she had clearly understood what Lin Nuannuan said afterward. Qiu Nong straightened at once and stared solemnly at her, waiting for her mistress to continue.

Ji Nuanxin and Fang Mulin walked to the entrance of the living room. Ji Xinliang turned his eyes slightly and happened to see Ji Nuanxin.

Yun Chi beckoned to the monkey, motioning for it to come closer. He whispered a few words into its ear, and the monkey clapped its hands and laughed happily. Yun Chi then gave it several top-grade concealment talismans made by Mo Feichen, taught it how to use them, and sent it away.

Yun Chi and Zhongli Wuyou let out a sigh of relief, their tense bodies relaxing as well. Although the black bear was seriously wounded, dealing with it would still have been difficult for the two of them.

After all, so many people had eaten at the Fifth Movement. If something really happened, I wouldn’t have time to help them one by one.

She suddenly felt a chill beside her. Her gaze drifted unintentionally toward Qin Luofan, and her body shuddered.

Chen Mohan, sleeping soundly, naturally had no idea that a man would sneak into her bedroom in the middle of the night just to look at her and give her a kiss.

He could not help glancing to the side. From what he had heard outside, this was supposed to be a cold and taciturn man. He could not help wondering deeply whether he had misheard. Was this man really taciturn?

Damn, Tumen City truly produced talent after talent. They were all young people with promising futures.

My scalp tingled as though someone were pressing down on it while scattering Sichuan pepper over it. Puzzled, I took the envelope and hesitated for a while before tearing it open and gently drawing out what was inside.

This alchemy room was spotless, filled with the rich fragrance of medicinal herbs. She also saw quite a few pills inside the alchemy chamber.

When Ji Ruihan heard that Su Xue was fine, he finally relaxed. With Ji Jiayue’s help, he entered the room to rest.

“There’s one more place.”

Qin Ze then took Lu Anran to the rental apartment he had once lived in off campus.

“Ding-dong! Please wait, host. The system is retrieving your starter gift pack!”

The system’s mechanical voice rang out.

“Skid!”

Before she could finish speaking, the car suddenly slid sideways. The tires made intimate contact with the road, carving two striking black arcs across the asphalt.

“Damn it! I only said a few, but you went and brought back an entire batch. Are you trying to leave people no way to live?”

Hearing Liu Kehong’s words, Huo Du maintained the utmost outward respect, but inwardly he could not help cursing.

That was not all. Ye Lei added sit-ups, stone lifting, and other exercises. He also introduced a special-forces training exercise frequently seen in films: carrying logs.

Since I can’t figure it out, I might as well stop worrying about what it is. At least I’m merely a passerby in her life. Aren’t I?

Di Jing’s expression remained unchanged. With a turn of his hand, a magnificent treasure map appeared in his grasp. It was shrouded in gray mist, yet the moment it emerged, it erupted with boundless sword intent. It seemed as though countless treasured swords were moving across its surface.
