Volume 1, Chapter 39: Sheer Luck
Xia Qianqian sucked on her fingers with a rhythmic sound, her mind racing as she flipped through her memories. Yet, she could not recall the slightest detail of how Xia Zier had stolen her eldest brother's achievements.
Useless brain! Think, quickly!
At that moment, the two of them had just harvested a Brightlight Herb that had grown for approximately fifty thousand years. It was an exceptional medicinal spirit herb that, if refined into an elixir, would possess immense potency.
"You—what did you say?" Ye Li asked, sitting up abruptly in surprise. However, having not eaten, her blood sugar seemed to have dropped; the sudden movement made stars dance before her eyes. A child? She was pregnant again?
She could wait no longer. She accepted Yan Qie’s request and defected from the Ghost Lord Demon Clan, all for the sake of hearing a response from Cang Yue—in the end, she received only silence.
Although the temples of the God Realm would not suffer the slightest damage, the fierce battles between the two sides would, more or less, alter the surrounding environment. Some vegetation was inevitably destroyed, and in areas where the fighting had been particularly intense, the surroundings of the temples had turned into desolate wastelands.
Wu Di recalled the things the Qin Emperor had repeatedly exhorted him to do the previous night. He steeled his heart, then leaped up from the ground to resume his cultivation.
All these things—she could tell no one. Whether it was Yang Qian, Pei Qing, Ji Jingxi, or Yang Xuchen, she had to keep it all to herself. She had chosen this path, so she would have to swallow the bitter fruits and the consequences alone. Until she achieved her goal, she would not speak a single word of truth.
In fact, Shi Hui had never understood one thing: even if there were hidden truths behind Chesterton Arnold’s death, Lin Xianghui was not by Chesterton’s side at the time, and neither of the children had been born yet. Why would the enemy pursue her and her children so relentlessly, exposing so many flaws in the process?
"Since Yutang is fine, this junior can rest easy. Old Madam, Fanxi will take his leave." After confirming that Bai Yutang’s injuries were not serious, Jin Fanxi left behind some medicinal materials and departed. Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Hui specifically arranged for someone to escort young master Jin home.
He had originally intended to manifest his Dharma form early to suppress and kill the Evil Buddha, but since his opponent also possessed a Dharma form, he knew it would not be an easy task.
Meanwhile, staying in the hotel, Xu Mosen stood by the dark window, gazing in the direction of Tong Lexi’s home. Even though everything outside was shrouded in darkness, he could accurately pinpoint the location of her house.
With thoughts swirling, Lin Han’s eyes burned with intensity. After staring fixedly at the door of the bamboo hut for a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression shifting slightly. Having gained a tremendous surge in strength, he chose not to walk out immediately to share the joyous news with his nominal master.
"Is this your way of complimenting yourself in disguise?" Ye Xian could not help but feel a headache coming on. He finally understood the root of his own shamelessness. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will be crooked—perhaps that was exactly the case.
The horse-faced man seemed to sense someone watching him and opened his eyes slightly. His gaze collided with Lin Yu’s in mid-air. Lin Yu grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, while the horse-faced man merely huffed and closed his eyes again to meditate.
Zhou Liming, who was standing in the bathroom shaving, assumed his aunt had entered and did not even turn his head.
As the final array pattern took shape in the Qingyue Secret Realm, the teleportation formation erupted with a stunning radiance. Then, the brilliance faded, returning to an ordinary state.
The fact that he could keep both Jack and Blake completely under his thumb showed that this general manager was truly capable.
On the way back to the hotel, the bodyguard Jason and the others treated Li Hao with even greater respect—so much so that it was approaching the level of respect they showed their own boss.
As for Sai Tianjiao, as long as she dared to approach, the Punisher’s shoulder cannons and chest-mounted missiles would greet her without pause, giving her absolutely no chance to counterattack.
