Volume 1, Chapter 52: Xiao Shen's New Friend

The six previously unrelated spirit bones had now merged into a complete set of a navy uniform. Zhang Yang summoned the uniform and tested it, finding that while the material was soft, its defensive power was exceptionally formidable.

"Because I have found a different goal in life, and I don't want to give up this opportunity," Li Lifei said decisively.

"Here you go." Tris immediately used a wooden stick to fish out a bulging, foul-smelling bag from her storage equipment and pushed it in front of Dai Mingde, staring at him intently with a very peculiar look in her eyes.

On the other hand, Xu Lei thought that if they could truly end up together, it wouldn't matter even if Zhao Ying'er had ulterior motives—who asked Qi Jian to like her? But if it was merely a matter of mutual utilization, it would be better to cut ties sooner rather than later.

Qin Chi nodded repeatedly and instigated, "Then hurry up and go." He had seen Lady Bo's handwriting before; after the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern show, he had someone buy Lady Bo's lantern riddles at a high price. It was indeed a very neat regular script—not particularly brilliant, but certainly not inferior either.

In the quiet hallway, Zhang Yu leaned against the railing and gazed at the distant scenery. The morning sun was not stingy in casting its brilliance over the earth and upon this villa bathed in the forest, making it appear exceptionally warm.

Just at this moment, Sun Kai was slapped across the face by Zhao Qing, leaving five distinct finger marks clearly visible on his cheek.

At this time, Tang San looked like a large golden spider, his Eight Spider Lances rising and falling as he slowly climbed upward.

The rusty fan was only turning slightly, yet the dust upon it had never shifted its "habitat" because of that feeble motion. Illuminated by a stray beam of sunlight, countless microscopic particles seemed to be floating in the air, bringing a touch of desolate silence to the entire cavernous factory.

However, since the Lin family had just told her that they would no longer care or interfere in the future, what should she do to be in the right?

The concentration of heavy Yin Qi kept other living creatures from approaching, so there were no virus-carrying rats here; instead, it fortuitously protected those within from the scourge of the plague.

By now, I was no longer intimidated by such occasions and followed Shen Xiuzhe right into the hotel.

"What plan? Let's hear it." Having been tested over this period of time, Hu Jinxiu seemed to have acknowledged my ability and said with a hint of familiarity.

I called Sister Bai Ke, and she said she happened to be at the hospital. I let out a sigh of relief, but then hesitation gripped me.

I shook my head fiercely and took a few deep breaths to help myself calm down slightly.

Mo Junye's pupils constricted slightly. Ah Li felt the change in the aura around him and lowered her head almost imperceptibly.

If it were anyone else, she might have had some confidence, but the other party was Mu Bolun, the notorious playboy of the school.

Seeing no one around, she walked over to the window, lifted the curtain to look outside, and still found no one. Then she pulled back the covers to check the bed; I knew she must have been checking to see if there were any long hairs left on the mattress.

But under the present circumstances, there was no time to dwell on that. Our primary task was to wipe all of them out first.

Shen Xiuzhe's eyes suddenly narrowed. Seeing this dangerous movement, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

Since Xie Xiaoyue had already made up her mind about Xie You, no amount of persuasion would make her listen; instead, she would only grow annoyed and impatient.

Fan Shengmei finally set her mind at ease. Aside from Qiu Yingying, who kept promising to keep her lips sealed, Guan Shier looked at Andy, and both of them felt in their hearts that doing this was unfeasible. Yet, when friends made a request, they felt duty-bound to help.

Andy looked at her friends and repeatedly said, "Okay, okay." She didn't even know what she was saying, her mouth curved in a broad, happy smile. It wasn't until Lao Tan hurried over that she gave him a hug as well. Lao Tan was completely dumbfounded.

When the poor girl whom they had once thought came from a destitute family suddenly turned out to be the most mysterious top socialite in Rancheng, and furthermore, this socialite was the future Mrs. Mu, it was nothing short of a resounding slap in the face. Those who had constantly mocked others had instead become the pathetic ones.

Mu Chen grew up abroad, but ever since they got married, in order to accommodate her palate, breakfast had been changed to Chinese style. It was evident that every time, Mu Chen ate very little.

Even though it was noon and the sunlight was dazzling, a chilly wind was still blowing through, matching the somewhat intimidating look Xia Qingxiao was casting their way, which genuinely made their hearts flutter with unease.

He strode away, and his car sped off into the distance. I stood there, looking at the heavy traffic on the road, suddenly overcome by fear.

Xia Chujun walked out of the courtyard. Having heard the servants discussing Yun Mo while taking a stroll in the garden just moments before, she rushed out with almost no hesitation.

Now, Lu Jinyang had earned the opportunity to challenge a teacher—and not just any teacher, but his future head teacher.

"Ha, even you can have a slip of the hand," Lü Xining teased her deskmate upon hearing the sound nearby.

Time ticked away second by second, and Obito and the other two finally ate their first meal of the day. Perhaps because it was prepared by Nohara Rin, Obito probably ate the most among them, while Kakashi finished a single fish and then stood guard by their sides.

With no other choice, Han Xiao immediately withdrew the Evil Dragon's Flame and used the Sword-Control Teleportation technique to continuously dodge and weave amidst countless bolts of lightning.

Although viewed from a distance the boundary between light and shadow was distinct, in reality, a vast transitional zone lay between them.

Taking advantage of this window, Luo Fang had already memorized all of their faces. This was merely the beginning.

Sha Tianrui and Shi Yu were obviously targeting Lin Tian. Now that Lin Tian had returned, they would likely subject him to an unrelenting barrage of attacks.

Between the two pools of water, surging billows of steam rose continuously. Illuminated by the pools, they cast interwoven red and blue radiance, which was why Han Xiao had perceived it from afar as a flowing, glowing dome.

Aside from the two major steps of Blood Seizure and Spirit Elevation, the Blood-Seizing Spirit-Ascension Art possessed different Dharma formulas for refining True Spirit Qi depending on one's cultivation realm. Xiaozheng temporarily halted the Blood Seizure and Spirit Elevation processes, and instead refined the True Spirit Qi within his body according to the introductory-level refining method.

Ye Feng openly admitted it. Things had reached this point, and continuing to conceal anything would be utterly meaningless.

Without Ye Wuwei needing to voice it, the Funeral Heaven Clan and the Divine Dream Dynasty shared a blood feud of the destruction of their dynasty; how could they possibly let them off?

Fifth Law Fang could not imagine what kind of terrifying things such a person might do to the Fifth Clan—or more accurately, to him and his son's family—if he rose to great prominence because of Xiaozheng.

It turned out that the Liu family, one of the most powerful families in Jingbei, was searching for the child who had vanished twenty years ago. Why were they beginning their search for the child again now, twenty years later?

Early the next morning, just as Lin Qingxuan and Xia Xueer had gotten up, Gongsun Wujiu had people invite all four of them to the reception hall once more.
