Chapter 44

At this point, everyone grew quite curious: what on earth was the reason that prevented an entire city of people from having descendants?

Back then, Meng Siyu received a message from her father. After the Swordsmanship Convention concluded, she briefly tended to Ye Weifeng for a few days before hurrying off to the Helan Mountains.

"When did Grand Eunuch Feng lay eyes on that beauty scroll?" Confronted by the interrogation of Empress Dowager Li and Chief Grand Secretary Zhang, Qi Yu pondered for a moment before suddenly turning his aggression toward Feng Yongting.

Lingyao struggled to finish the flatbread. Midway through, she wanted to give up several times, but Chen Qisheng kept his eyes fixed on her. Mindful of his hard work, Lingyao didn't actually throw it away.

After walking a short distance, they happened to pass an Audi 4S dealership. The interior was still illuminated with bright yellow lights, appearing serene and elegant in the fading slanted sunlight.

Su Mengxi had not expected to win second place, but this time, she did not cry.

Du Ruoruo suddenly raised her gaze to look at Su Nianwei, her large eyes flickering with an embarrassed and bitter emotion.

"His Majesty has always trusted Chief Grand Secretary Zhang; we might as well ask Chief Grand Secretary Zhang to try and persuade him," Empress Dowager Chen deflected.

I clenched my fists and turned around to look around. The entire space was exceptionally quiet, and even the eerie green flashlight beam had returned to normal.

"Then what is your relationship with Delan?" Canaan asked. He noticed that the wands used by both wizards were crafted by Delan. Delan would leave a mark on the wands he made—something Delan had told him during a previous chat.

Lu Heng strolled through the streets with considerable interest, purchasing quite a few local specialties and incidentally renting a guest room at an inn.

After all, to them, a modern world devoid of spiritual energy was truly a place abandoned by the gods.

Hearing this, Gong Yun'ao's expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Fengchen, let's go." With that, he grabbed Fengchen by the hand and strode outward.

There was also 1.1 million in new company expenses. To be honest, Ye Zi thought Dong Jisi had no need to waste so much money on relocation.

Above the fifth floor were multi-purpose rooms and computer labs. Normally, during non-class hours, no one came up here.

"To do promotions," Ye Li took a couple of bites of cake. Her dinner earlier had been meager, and because of the alcohol, she was genuinely feeling rather hungry now.

"You'd be wasting your talent if you didn't go to law school. It's 'confess honestly' at every turn, or else 'make a clean breast of it'." Ye Li smiled. Qin朗's car was conspicuous enough; to avoid drawing attention, she made him drop her off an intersection early, yet unexpectedly, she was still spotted by Li Lili.

He Ning said this, on one hand, out of respect for Duan Yanqing's contributions—after all, He Ning would show respect even to system-summoned characters—and on the other hand, to set an example.

At that moment, a stern-faced person walked over, having witnessed Du Aitong hurling abuse right there.

The power of human blood far exceeds cinnabar a hundredfold; whether jade or wood, it can never compare to human bones.

"Originally, Daddy had already persuaded your mother, and your mother had agreed not to severely punish you. If you hadn't brought Bofu and the others over as guests, your mother should have punished you the moment you arrived home," Liu Zhe said.

"Ying Lou! Ying, watch out!" Blood seeped from his teeth, matching Xiang Jun's pale complexion and looking exceptionally gruesome. He hadn't expected Ying Lou's sword strike to inflict such a severe wound.

"Clothes!" Shizuka's choice left everyone somewhat speechless, but recalling her usual absent-mindedness, they were accustomed to it. Thus, after packing their own things, they all began helping Shizuka pack her luggage.

"..." Ying Lou glanced at the retreating figure, then looked at Gao Xing who was studying and Xiaomeng who was watching with fascination. He followed closely behind, and before long, arrived at a rear courtyard corridor. Passing through a rockery, he came to an elegant spot where bamboo leaves rustled gently, and Li Si was already waiting there.

As for this fellow, strictly speaking, it wasn't just a simple matter of being injured; rather, he had contracted a plague. Yet constrained by his status and the current situation, he couldn't stand in line within that forbidden zone like the common people.

Under the joint attack of the three, Wumuan did not fall behind at all. After exchanging a few blows, Wumuan delivered two palm strikes to the chests of Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya, sending both crashing to the ground and vomiting blood. This demonstrated that Wumuan possessed Grandmaster-level proficiency.

The impact left Yuan Yao dizzy and disoriented. Just as he heard his guard's warning, he turned his head and saw Liu Rong's precious sword flying straight toward his head after being hurled from its owner's hand.

Zombies are born from the resentment and foul Qi of heaven and earth, existing as ageless, undying, and indestructible entities. Cast out beyond the six paths of all living beings by the heavens, earth, and underworld, they wander homeless and displaced, using resentment as their strength and blood as their sustenance in the mortal world to vent their endless desolation.

Upon seeing this, the Snow Demon found it baffling that Xuan Qing would actually put aside his formidable peerless sword and pull out a wooden sword instead, completely failing to understand the intention.

Pei Tingqing's gaze locked firmly onto Yan Qiao. The hands he kept in his pockets slowly curled into fists. He felt overwhelmingly nervous and anxious, caring deeply about how Yan Qiao viewed him, and terrified that Yan Qiao would refuse to acknowledge him as a father. The moment Yan Qiao looked toward him with those beautiful dark brown eyes, his heart tightened further.

My gaze fell upon the cuffs of Xiao Shaofeng's white shirt, where two blue gemstone cufflinks shimmered brilliantly, making his slender and delicate fingers all the more enviable.

Mu Yun's height naturally met the standard, and since he happened to catch the competition, he simply signed up to join in the excitement.

Knowing that Mr. Lu was currently in a state of mental disarray, I didn't argue further and quickly got out of the car.

"Don't move!" Xiao Cheng's angry voice echoed inside the car, where his body had already reacted to her restless movements.

A few days later, Kaiba Corporation made a high-profile public release of the latest model of Duel Disks, while simultaneously announcing an unprecedented, grand Duel Tournament. The venue encompassed the entirety of Domino City, operating under a card-ante system, and participants were required to meet several basic conditions.

Recalling how earlier that morning on the way to school, she had been wildly fantasizing about whether she might encounter some traffic accident or disaster that would give her a chance to show off her strength and act cool, yet everything had been peaceful with nothing happening at all.
