Chapter 26

The atmosphere inside the restaurant grew lively and boisterous; only now could the "Rose Restaurant" truly be called a normal dining establishment. Watching Lin Zixi engage in such a thankless task, a faint smile touched Su Xiaxia’s lips. She turned slowly, hands tucked into her suit pockets, her jawline defined by a sharp, alluring arc, her thin lips pressed slightly together.

If one were to give Li Qinghuan a chance to turn over a new leaf, then if Qiao An were to be put in mortal danger because of her, who would give Qiao An a chance at a new life? Over the past two days, Jia Lin called to ask about my condition. I told him the doctor said I would need to rest for about five or six days before my vision gradually recovers, though currently, I really cannot see a thing. For Xue Xiaoxue, this was her first true journey of learning since transmigrating into this world.

Qiao An retreated step by step, her heart in turmoil. Worry, anxiety, and despair intertwined; she was unable to think clearly. Yao Qi offered a bitter, hollow laugh, raking his messy hair back to reveal a face worn thin by exhaustion. To the general public, Lu Zhanbei’s face was unfamiliar, but his name was legendary.

At this moment, Qingming found it difficult to forcibly stop this fellow. Judging by the cultivation power erupting from him, he was at the very least an elite disciple of the Maoshan Sect; clashing with him would be more trouble than it was worth. A series of whistling sounds pierced the air as five ancient swords—led by the Evil Moon Sword, followed by the Immortal-Slaying, Spirit Emperor, and Soul-Extinguishing blades, with the Giant Spirit Sword bringing up the rear—attacked Ye Chen.

Furthermore, Audino can use the antennae on its ears to sense the physical state and emotions of others through their heartbeats, and can even predict when a Pokémon will hatch from its egg. Yun Nuo was full of regret as Cooky, its furry head rubbing against her feet, seemed less attached to its returned owner than to the outsider who frequently fed it dried fish. Yu Yang smiled faintly, reaching out to clasp his palm against the massive claw of the Nidoking.

By Su Yi's estimation, the concentration of spiritual energy on the main continent was nearly thirteen or fourteen times that of the human realm. A dozen high-speed spinning blades struck the darkness; with a loud bang, a square object popped upward, and bright light spilled down. She deliberately raised her voice, causing the interns who had been hounding her just moments before to immediately fall silent.

Miss Shen sat high in a tree, her feet, clad in warm shoes, dangling slightly, her fair, delicate hands clutching an antique hand warmer. This man named Mr. Xiao clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with—didn't you notice that even Black Sha had to act as his subordinate? On the road back to the capital, Chu Xujun was tormented by the horse-riding, yet her mind never stopped racing.

Logically, that performance had been seamless, so how could it have been discovered so easily? "Hmph, I’d like to see how the prescription you’ve concocted compares to mine!" Guo Yue said with a sneer. Three or four hundred people had gathered at the hospital entrance—some were onlookers, others were bystanders, and many were the families of patients.

In seven days, the intelligence network in Nanman City had been severely compromised; these seven days were just enough time to rebuild it, and also served as a period for Wang Bo to evaluate the various gang leaders and their members. As he spoke, a middle-aged man who had arrived with Gu Shengshu suddenly raised a pistol toward Tang Yao. Pushing aside the curtain, no sooner had he poked his head through than a violent wind struck from behind, a heavy staff slamming into the masked man’s occiput.

No matter how knowledgeable these young people were, they lacked the experience of their elders, so it was Yuan Huajun who truly recognized the mirror. Li Xiaoyao had followed Lin Feng in his martial arts training for nine years; his knowledge, cultivation, and conduct were all constantly shaped by his mentor’s influence.

In the state of Emptiness, the Grim Reaper is like a drifting gas, existing not within the gaps of the latitude lines, but above them. So, he had truly comprehended the rules, had he? As Huangfu Jun pressed his hands against the door, a suction force emanated from the dilapidated entrance. It was like the mushroom bombs of later ages; if everyone possesses them, they become merely a deterrent, forming a tacit understanding that no one will use them.

Concubine Yu looked at the cotton-padded garment in her hands and, without pretense, put it on, her gaze shifting to the pair ahead, a hint of envy crossing her eyes. "Who told you to audit the accounts yourself, you silly girl?" Lan Rongyue shook her head helplessly; if she had let Linglu verify them herself, she wouldn't have had to hand everything over to Eunuch Lin.

An Outer Affairs Hall disciple explained to Huang Shaojie, warning him never to venture deep into the Dark Forest for fear of being devoured by high-level exotic beasts. "It is your Grandfather Optimus Prime! Come here and meet your end; I can't wait any longer!" Optimus Prime pulled the giant hammer from his back, swung it wildly for a moment, and then snarled at the approaching Wuwang and the others.

If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been melted by the flames of the Fire Dance long ago, but the Faceless Man felt no heat; his body seemed like a bottomless abyss, devouring all the power radiating around him. Setting aside the martial arts of this flower-thief, his light-body technique was surely extraordinary—how could he be so easily captured?

As the two massive energies collided and exploded, Raikou and Entei realized too late that they had been tricked. The resulting shockwave sent them flying, while the Skarmory, having used Agility, was spared. Elder Sun had spoken for the sake of his pride, but unexpectedly, his words matched Ouro’s exactly, which only made the Sect Leader of the Tianluo Sect believe Ouro all the more.
