Volume 1, Chapter 39: The Programmer's "Peach Blossom Luck"

Song Tianji paid no heed to the insects' fury. He strolled outward with effortless grace, stepping through the wall of insects as if he were merely walking out of his own home. He paused for a moment to glance back, checking that he hadn't left anything behind, before turning and stepping out into the world.

Zhang Ye learned from his clone's memories that these were all magician’s experimental apparatuses. Although Shirou Emiya was also a magician, he knew nothing of the fundamentals of magic.

"That's right. I'll need to go out again in a couple of days, so for now, the three of you will train alongside Ace," Zhang Ye said with a smile.

The White Wave bandits' offensive had been dismantled the previous night. What had seemed like a massive siege was, in truth, feeble and lackluster. Once the enemy retreated, the city defenders finally breathed a sigh of relief; they were utterly exhausted, and had it not been for the help of the common folk, they would surely have suffered heavy casualties and been unable to continue the fight.

Zen Master Golden Light wore a look of benevolence, yet Ye Feng could see clearly that the old man was deeply apprehensive as well.

The white horse calmed down. Chang Tian vaulted onto its back, cupped his hands in a salute to Dong Zhuo, and rode off directly. The white horse, however, turned its head back every few steps, casting longing glances at the red horse.

Xiangxiang nodded in a hurry, though hearing those words made her feel as if she were destined to be bullied quite miserably.

A fireball as large as a Great Flame Bomb erupted from Jiraiya's mouth, colliding directly with the [Pressure Damage] in mid-air. The massive gust of wind met the scorching fireball, and upon impact, they detonated, scattering countless sparks like fireworks.

"I'm getting old, and my hearing isn't what it used to be," Zhi Yi said, digging at his ear, his expression perfectly synchronized with Ye Lei's.

Lin Mo lacked self-control; it was only natural that once he stumbled upon a storybook that captivated him, he couldn't stop reading.

"It's nothing, just a recipe I'm giving to Ali," Alaric said with a wave of his hand before retreating.

"You people!" Tang Bohu was furious. Zhu Zhengyi, fearing she might say something inappropriate in her rage, quickly signaled the foreman to speak. The foreman glanced at Chu Mingqiu before slowly recounting the day's events.

"Who are you calling 'sister'? Am I that old?" Lin Manqing glared fiercely at Bao Feiyang, brandishing a kitchen knife to intimidate him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yansong flicked his wrist, sending the Yang-Enhancing Pill flying straight toward the Great Elder.

Though he was indeed a Great Yokai, Zheng Yi didn't believe for a second that his strength remained undiminished after being sealed for so long. To have been able to severely wound the Great Dog General and force him to seal Ryukotsusei, his power was certainly not to be underestimated.

Thinking back on it, even if this incident wasn't caused by him, that Outer Realm Heavenly Demon would likely have come for Ye Zhengping sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew graver, especially the experts from Yuedong Province, who felt immense pressure.

The bow in his hand required no arrows; with a simple pull and release, a golden light erupted and sprayed outward. As it struck the God race, their chest armor shattered, and their bodies were sent flying backward.

Suddenly, the Blood Rose’s crimson figure circled around Dong, forming a dense mist of blood that trapped him completely within a ring.

"I have said my piece. Please bear with me if there has been any offense," Bao Feiyang bowed deeply before turning to leave.

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, surprised that Hua Yileng was not only incredibly handsome but also so humorous and charming.

"Ling Li, you finally answered!" Zhou Xuanjun said, his voice choked with emotion and heavy with grief.

With another clanking of chains, a door opened, and a young Miao man stepped in, his gaze arrogant as he surveyed the room.

As they spoke, the stone slabs shifted again. This time, it wasn't the slab in front of Xiong Ti that moved, nor the one behind him—in fact, none of the six slabs, including those above and below, moved individually; all six moved in unison.

Outside Hualao Pass... the Wolf Soul Legion and the elites of the Blood Garment Hall gathered. Through their dialogue with the Holy Wing, they had formed a hypothesis.

Having paid for their lodging, the three found themselves with free time. It was nearly noon, and although their cultivation allowed them to go days without food or drink, having a meal was better than starving.

After a moment of shock, the reporters were energized, frantically thrusting their microphones toward her.

The Gale Sword Saint, Malolit—it was only after Lisanna reached a higher level in this world that she understood the power contained in that name. Back then, she had simply seen Malolit as a scatterbrained old man.

At the far north of Tiangong City lay a vast estate. According to the Mu family’s intelligence network, the owner was a merchant named Duan Ming. Having accumulated wealth through years of trade, he had purchased this massive estate and was considered one of the wealthy figures in Tiangong City.

The moment the cry to retreat went out, all the soldiers reacted, unable to bear the immense pressure any longer, and fled in every direction.

I have grounds for what I say; I’ve raised the children, haven't I? Look at that Black Puppet—it’s already grown that large.

That night, the Uber driver, who thought he had escaped disaster, was "invited" back to the municipal bureau for questioning.

As long as Xia Qi lived, Jin Yan had a chance to hold on. If something were to happen to her, Jin Yan would likely collapse completely from the edge of the breakdown he currently hovered upon.

There is a reason why Athena is seen by people as both an angel and a demon.

This served as a measure of fairness for those defending the arena in the grand battle, reducing the time challengers could spend deliberating; otherwise, the time required to hold the arena might have been extended indefinitely.

The tone of Zhu Youjian’s words was not in the least bit like a threat. Abunai gritted his teeth and turned to return to his tent to organize his men, only to be stopped by the Chongzhen Emperor.

Chen Yun'er shuddered coldly. The fear of venturing alone into a bandit's den to negotiate with wolves was somewhat dulled by her awe and dread of Bo Shaozheng.

But how could Rocky let that happen? Even as Shanai gained altitude, he pursued her without a moment's pause.

Gao Meifen unbuttoned her clothes, revealing herself in only her bra, and tried to throw herself into Jun Jin's arms. But before her body could even touch him, he had already clamped his hands onto her shoulders.

The numbness at the wound site was becoming increasingly pronounced. Shang Han gasped, reached into his robes, and fumbled for an antidote pill he had prepared himself, tossing it into his mouth.
