55 Chapter 55

Out at sea, a game of pursuit and evasion was unfolding. Su Yucheng cursed under his breath, and when he looked up, he saw a line of helicopters.

Zhao Tiezhu was like a man who had wandered through the desert for far too long, desperately in need of the trickling stream beneath Mu Xue to moisten him. The two bodies collided, and at that moment, even if the mountains collapsed and the earth split apart, nothing could tear them apart.

“No, no, no! With that much money, I might as well rent it to someone else. Why should I care whether they make a profit or suffer a loss? I’m renting out a shop, not making an investment!” The shopkeeper had finally begun to see things clearly as well. Realizing that he was about to lose, Zhang Yang hurriedly changed the subject.

Of course, it was also possible that the man had simply been a faithless scoundrel who, after growing tired of her, drove Nian Nuer’s mother away.

“Let go of me, you liar! Since you’ve already taken it apart, can’t you make it stop? I wouldn’t believe a word from a lecher like you, not even if I were beaten to death!” Xiangxiangna struggled as she spoke.

He gripped Su Yuche tightly with both hands. Seeing his younger brother reduced to such a state, it was impossible for him not to feel heartbroken.

Mu Yi made no effort to conceal his aura and headed straight for his destination. This spared him a great deal of trouble. After sensing Mu Yi’s aura, any demon clan member below the Sovereign realm did not even dare entertain the thought of stopping him.

Wu Yong smiled bitterly. Wasn’t this all because of her? But since she had already given the order, he might as well hurry over and take a look, lest he end up pleasing neither side. He could always return once everything was settled; in any case, he would lose nothing.

If something unimaginable happened by then, even a lifetime of remorse would accomplish nothing.

Gu Mo took a deep breath. For Yun Xiang’s plan, he could not simply kill the man with a single sword strike. But neither was he going to pretend to be a fool.

“Senior Artifact Spirit, take a look at this supreme-grade spirit stone. Can it be used to repair the Primordial Heavenly Pearl?” Lu Tianming drew a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

Whenever there was troublesome work, everyone kicked it back and forth to the other side. Whenever there were benefits to be had, they all scrambled to pull them into their own departments. The open and covert rivalry had been going on for more than a day or two.

Having lost its leverage, the Kingdom of Xihua, after a round of bargaining, offered a small city and several rare mineral deposits in exchange for a thousand dan of new grain seeds. To Xihua, these were scarcely enough to ease its difficulties, but their significance was extraordinary.

The customs of the north and south were different. After three rounds of wine, all the neighbors except Xiao Cheng and Changle left, while Chen Fang’s men prepared to make merry at the newlyweds’ chamber.

Huangfu Qi had never imagined that Lu Tianming possessed the strength to turn the tables. Every person present was a battle-hardened veteran; a Heaven-grade martial artist like Shen Yan was clearly in a completely different league from someone who had only just reached that level.

At the residence, Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu were the Third Young Mistress and Third Young Master. Within their own household, the honorific prefixes were simply omitted.

Du Qu’s stamina was gradually failing him, and his speed began to slow. As exhaustion slowly took over his mind, he also grew somewhat clearer-headed and realized that the thing ahead of him could not possibly be his son.

No one knew how many days and nights had passed. Lan Qian grew more and more vigorous in that land of death, astonishingly beginning to change from middle-aged into a young man.

According to the records, people of this kind were often wicked and dangerous in their previous lives. Before death, they had been enlightened by the Buddha and willingly chosen to suffer in their next life, thereby accumulating virtue and earning a good rebirth.

Compared with the characters mentioned earlier by Chou Fanti, such as “spring flowers and autumn moon” and “sun, moon, stars, and river,” which belonged to common themes, this particular character—the character for “hope”—was clearly much more difficult. It lay outside the scope of what they usually studied, leaving them without a clue for the moment.

He decided that at the hour of the Rabbit on the following day, he would summon all his disciples to the Azure Cloud Hall and examine them thoroughly, thereby dispelling the many misunderstandings that had arisen during their cultivation.

Dark clouds pressed down over the sky. As they roiled and gathered, it seemed as though the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of all living things were converging into a terrifying pressure. Dull peals of thunder rumbled in the distance.

By the time Gu Yanqin arrived at the scene, it was already a complete wreck. Gu Wenzhou’s blood was spattered across the ground.

Wang Xingdong was the son of Qingzhou’s chief registrar. By rank, his father was the third-highest official, and Wang had never suffered such humiliation.

He seemed born for battle. An unyielding martial will surged within him, making his blood boil with fighting spirit. His mind and body grew intensely excited as he swiftly adjusted himself into a combat-ready state.

Fortunately, after being delayed for so long, the injuries inside his body had stopped worsening and had even improved somewhat. Much of his strength had also returned.

Only after hearing this did the heart I had been holding finally begin to settle. As for me, he said that I needed to rest properly.

With Jia Cong’s understanding and consideration over the past few years, it was clear that Daiyu had gradually opened her heart. She was no longer as sorrowful and prone to tears as before.

Those streaks of blood-light shot toward everyone. The moment they saw them, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and they hurriedly employed their defensive techniques, trying to fend the things off.

He leaned against a corridor pillar, thinking about his troubles while gazing distractedly at the battle between the two young men in the courtyard.

In her eyes, this was practically a scene from a science-fiction film. Who would have thought it was merely an illness?

A true god could indeed be wounded. If one god had been injured by the hand of another, no one would have objected.

“Used together with the Illusory Rainbow Flying Saucer? How do you use it? What benefits will it bring?” Li Cheng asked hurriedly.

Loneliness and despair finally drove him to a mental collapse, transforming him into the beastly form Tian Sheng had seen. It was only when he was on the verge of death that he regained his senses.

Of course, a traditional sporting event such as the melee was far too chaotic and bloody to suit Davos’s aesthetic sense, and it was therefore completely excluded from the competitions of the Daionian Games.
