Chapter 86: A Golden-scaled Dragon Is Not Meant for the Pond

The two quickly put aside the matter of Gu Tinghua; they had more pressing concerns at the moment—namely, keeping an eye on Gu Tingwu, uncovering his affair, and preparing to catch him in the act.

Gu Tingzhou was entrusted with the task of surveillance.

While Li Qingyun was tidying up at home, someone knocked on the door—it was Erniu, delivering firewood. Over the past few days, he had brought over bundle after bundle, all slender branches, until they filled half the woodshed. These branches were fine for cooking in daily life, but when winter came and it was time to heat the kang, only sturdy logs would suffice, otherwise one would need to constantly add more, which was quite a hassle.

Hearing the drunkard’s words, flames of anger leapt in Faras’ eyes. She grabbed the magic staff beside her, ready to unleash a spell and give this drunkard a harsh lesson.

The machine gun in the watchtower rattled, bullets thudding against the pig-nosed iron lump at the front of the locomotive, sending sparks flying from the engine.

The game’s visuals had been toned down; otherwise, this would have been the perfect scene for a glorious fountain of blood.

Mo Qingying knew her own stomach was weak. Even though she was still hungry, she dared not overeat, stopping at half full.

“Hey, don’t move!” The traffic officer standing by the window thrust his hand inside, snatching Cao Lei’s car keys.

What utter nonsense! Chen Jiashen was skeptical, but since Ma Qian’an refused to explain, he let it go. However it had been contrived, as long as it worked, that was enough.

Chu Tian had no idea that his accidental act of kindness would become a pivotal force in shaping the future order of heroes.

Since becoming the Lord of Dragon Guardians, Xiao Yueye’s confidence had soared. Now, there was no need for flattery or pretense; he could finally do as he pleased.

Xiao Yueye opened his eyes. Accustomed to the incessant chirping of cicadas, their sudden absence left him a little uneasy. He chuckled softly and casually reduced the slip of paper in his hand to dust.

Feng Yun hurried to unleash his most devastating attack on Chu Tian, numbers in the tens of thousands exploding above his head.

With a thunderous crash, the serpent-demon zombie’s formidable body proved its strength. The moment it collided with the car, it didn’t pause for an instant; it smashed straight through the middle and kept charging ahead at breakneck speed—a total rout for the vehicle.

Three more days were spent mastering the Mu family’s treasured techniques. Then, the priceless jade ruyi was completely refined. Next came the matter of choosing a suitable weapon to wield.

When the demon appeared in the immortal realm, there was no outcry or battle. Some of the great immortals found themselves puzzled—why, for countless years, had every encounter with the demon race ended in a call to arms?

Chen Tianying’s lips curled in a wicked smile. Su Tao had never been so considerate, and he would never disturb her in the middle of the night unless she summoned him. So, someone was clearly out to get her. Since her visitor had come this far, it would be remiss not to invite them in for tea, especially with the cold outside.

He was growing impatient with the lack of news from Pang Yicheng. Handing such an important matter to an outsider now seemed like a mistake, but in unfamiliar territory, there were no better options.

Du Chenfei, however, did not pray for the gods’ protection; he felt neither fear nor anxiety. He wasn’t even nervous.

Striving for his dreams had always been Liu Jianing’s belief. He understood that now, more than ever, he had to prove his own strength.

“Haha, not at all.” Raindrop cocked his head, gazing into the distance. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could already make out the camp several hundred meters away.

His spiritual power had clearly strengthened his physical form as well.

The Laughing Asura sneered, “Save your breath.” She produced a packet from her person, revealing sparkling white powder inside. “I’d prepared these salt crystals for roasting meat in the wild. Now, they’re all yours, in gratitude for your years of loyalty.” With that, she began to sprinkle salt over his entire body.
