26 Burning the Bridges

Expecting her to rush over in excitement, Cai was prepared to hold her back the moment she stepped through the door. To her surprise, Lu Rushuang neither turned her head nor shifted her body; she remained as motionless as a wooden statue.

Pei Ziwen looked out to see several sea vessels towing the carcass of a sea monster, drifting quietly upon the ocean.

However, the longer the stalemate continued, the more disadvantageous it became for us. Being right next to the school, regardless of who was watching, anyone would assume the bulb was the victim and the three of us were the vicious criminals, while the goat-bearded man’s group and the thugs blocking our path behind us appeared to be the ones coming to the rescue.

"How interesting. You even dare to mock me, the Wu Yanzu of this city? You clearly don't want to drive a taxi in this city anymore!" Lu Shuai persisted, blinking at me twice.

Luo Yi lay listlessly on the hospital bed. Her eyes were sunken, making her pupils appear exceptionally dark, which contrasted sharply with her face, as pale as the bedsheets. Qiao Yan saw a sense of utter despair on her face.

Sikong Cuo slowly closed her eyes. Her aura became steady, and the spiritual fluctuations she emanated ebbed and flowed like the tide on a flat beach, slow and rhythmic.

If you won't give me a ride, fine. Jiang Xinyi shrugged and found a place to sit down. She had been walking all day and was exhausted; she needed a good rest.

His gaze was more scorching than the sun, causing Qiao Yan’s face to flush slightly and her heart to flutter in confusion. Seeking escape, she looked up; they had already walked out of the tree-lined path, greeted by an endless blue sky and tempting white clouds. "If I asked for bird's nest and shark fin, would you treat me to that too?" she said, trying to keep her tone light and joking.

"Sikong Cuo, why were we unaware that you had taken on such a disciple?" Huo Mingshi asked slowly. He had an excellent relationship with Bai Hangjian, and since Hua Xijue had inexplicably stepped in to speak for Sikong Cuo, he naturally had to stand up for Bai Hangjian.

After a while, the lights were finally extinguished, and I heard the sound of steady breathing coming from Pi Ge’s bed.

Originally, Qin Jingzhi had been a "killing machine" that Shi Hongzhen and the others had studied for years. Before he was captured for drug testing, his physical fitness and military capabilities were far beyond those of an ordinary person; then, he was subjected to the special drugs developed by Country R.

"The split of Meibang Securities seems inevitable." Guo Guangchang took this opportunity to join the board of directors of Meibang.

As it turned out, he saw Qin Jingzhi pinning Lin Hong against the wall at the kitchen entrance, one hand pressing down her wrists while the other held her waist tightly.

Of course, after her sister-in-law left, Yao Ruixue did not head toward the restroom but changed direction and walked out instead, though her pocket now contained a military knife given to her by Shi Hongfei, ready to be drawn at any moment.

The "her" in Qin Jingzhi’s words naturally referred to Miwako Yamagata. If not for a specific slogan that was the only memory Shi Hongfei had of Shi Hongying, the siblings would not have dared to recognize each other.

Behind the place where Lin Xuan lived was a back alley. Beyond that alley was a row of civilian houses, and after passing through them and walking straight for several hundred meters, one would reach the forest.

With just a single punch, Xu Yan sent the disciple of the Chenyang Sect—who had been wearing a look of horror upon recognizing his face—flying backward. The victim hit the ground over ten yards away like a discarded rag doll.

Because Lin Long had initially used Qin Meng’s phone to send the capture message to Lin Meiyu, Lin Meiyu knew Qin Meng’s number.

A quarter of an hour later, the sky grew bright. It was then that Xu Yan saw people beginning to emerge from their tents. Upon discovering it was Bai Bing of the Qiu faction, he gave a nod of acknowledgment but showed no further interest, returning to his meditation and breathing exercises.

George had been on the first watch with Li Wei last night, so his sleep was unaffected, and he was in high spirits.

Furthermore, because she had acted in time to preserve Kuafu's vital energy, and thanks to the unique nature of the Underworld and the protection of Houtu, that thread of energy slowly coalesced into a complete divine soul, granting Kuafu a chance at resurrection.

The others were also very clear that it was not Liu Mu who needed them, but they who needed Liu Mu; they knew their place well.

"Classmate Chu Nan, get in!" Du Zi-hui eagerly picked up Chu Nan’s luggage to put it in the trunk.

Although Ao Guang was now a Taiyi Golden Immortal and followed the way of water, capable of condensing several types of true water, the Tianyi True Water was not among them.

Then, Shangguan Xiaoyao felt a wave of inexplicable dizziness and fluctuation in his state, his body turned upside down. When he opened his eyes again, he found he had already arrived in the unscathed Tianyang City.

He finally understood why Bai Jia had come to him with a pale face; it was all because of this matter, yet he had wasted such a golden opportunity.

Shangguan Xiaoyao’s voice was calm, but to the ears of Ximen Wubei, it was the best of promises.

Li Yuanhao’s heart was filled with bitterness. Surrounded by over two hundred men, with archers secretly intercepting their path, how could they possibly break through?

"Speak! I will surely deliver the message." Dukao’s voice trembled slightly, but his face remained calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts. Only he knew whether his heart was truly at peace.

Liu Mu remained unmoved, merely standing up. When he had sat down earlier, he had no intention of hiding; as long as the instructor looked up, he could see him through the hole in the second floor.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had been trapped in a closed world, losing control of his body, while everything happening around him flickered before his eyes like a movie.
