Volume 1, Chapter 56: Leaving the City Once More

In less than half an hour, the roaring engines of two motorcycles grew from distant to near.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Jiuwan quickly appeared before Jiang Huan.

The moment he got off the bike, Zhang Yu backhanded Jiang Huan across the head.

"You little punk! I knew you wouldn't stay out of trouble!"

Jiang Huan looked with a blank expression at the angry Zhang Yu, and Zhang Jiuwan who was snickering nearby.

Zhang Jiuwan spread his hands, feigning innocence as he smiled, "You can't blame me for this. Ever since we got back to the city last time, he and your head teacher forced me to post men at the city gate to keep an eye on you."

"If I hadn't done as they said, the two of them would have skinned me alive."

Jiang Huan sighed. Clearly, leaving the city in broad daylight was out of the question.

Seized by an inexplicable impulse, he turned around, cupped her face, which was covered in tear drops, and leaned down to kiss her once more.

After the two of them had argued that day, Xiongxiong thought that giving Spare Ribs the cold shoulder for a few days would fix things, so she proceeded to freeze him out for several days. As it turned out, Spare Ribs eventually came back to apologize, claiming he was just afraid of losing Xiongxiong and that male pride had gotten the better of him.

The First Prince's gnashing of teeth echoed from the private booth, causing everyone to pause slightly. It seemed the Third Prince had emerged victorious in the final contest.

Gently grasping the Heart of Nature, Dugu Ming slowly calmed his mind. The soul power on his forehead gradually extended outward, reaching toward the encompassing laws of nature.

Following his voice, countless students below looked up at him, watching at last as he soared away into the distance.

Yuan Zhenyu couldn't be bothered to waste any more time with this comic relief. The longer this went on, the more humiliating it would be for him. He stepped forward, hoisted the fatty up by the collar, walked onto the high platform, and tossed him straight into the Five Elements Array.

Hu Jinming immediately called Hu Xixi, instructing her by any means to contact Minglang or the twins immediately and stop Zhenyang's actions.

Over there, Tong Luoxie was turned livid with rage by a single remark from Mingmo, while on this side, Chen Zhe of the Star Luo Kingdom also glared coldly at Mingmo, a devouring glint flashing in his eyes.

Layer upon layer of overlapping gauze curtains was forcefully swept aside by a burst of palm wind. Chu Cuicheng flew out of the lotus couch wielding a profound sword, while Mo Zili simultaneously drew his sword to meet him. The scene instantly descended into chaos once more as the immortal and demonic armies clashed in battle. The remaining seven demon generals focused their attacks on the main force of the Immortal Realm, and even the Heavenly Monarch struggled gradually to handle them, leaving him with no time to spare for anyone else.

Just as everyone was about five hundred meters away from entering the village, all the birds in the woods suddenly flew up into the air. Tianci knew this was a form of welcome for him, and the fish in the artificial lake also leaped out of the water, creating a most spectacular scene.

My mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom. My hand loosened, and the ultrasound report fluttered slowly to the ground like an autumn leaf, while I stood frozen in place. When I finally comprehended what had happened, tears immediately followed, streaming down my face.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zi's Nine Mysteries Return to Origin Asking Spirit Thunder allowed his physical body to cross yet another threshold, truly reaching an ultimate limit.

Time slipped away unnoticeable. Only upon hearing Wang Kun's words did he realize it was already so late. Tianci packed up his things and left the company directly with Wang Kun.

A-Song stir-fried three simple dishes: stir-fried pork kidneys, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and tiger-skin green peppers, alongside a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. Simple and substantial, it was indeed very much his style.

A gentle breeze blew across the courtyard, bringing absolute silence and a quiet, murderous intent. Lin Feng seemed to melt into the background of the green forest, not making even the slightest sound.

"Enough, that's enough!" The old man felt somewhat ashamed. Such a pretty girl, could she actually be a fool?

If Apocalypse weren't so utterly unreasonable—if he simply existed like that Vampire King, turning himself into an intangible threat—the status of mutants would undoubtedly rise by several levels, because even the United States would have to tread carefully around them in that case.

Yan Jin was speaking objectively; before things were clarified, it wasn't right to wrong someone casually. But I knew Shen Yin; Yan Jin's words would only make her even more furious.

"They're all fresh." I didn't dare say much, keeping my answers as brief as possible for fear of giving myself away.

Watching the departing Zihuang, Siyu was utterly shaken. She had never encountered a student of this caliber before.

***

The hearts of everyone among the Eastern Depot secret agents tightened as they realized the gravity of the situation, and some were already stealthily backing away.

"Zihuang!" Ziping called out the moment she entered. Seeing that it was Ziping and Jin Wuque, Zihuang hastily put down his sword and lay back down.

He had an illusion, drifting in a trance where he had somehow become a grand eunuch in the palace, taking over Huang Jin's position. Several times he woke up drenched in cold sweat from his dreams, reaching out to grope his crotch and finding that his manhood was still there, only then letting out a sigh of relief. He would then lie back down, shift positions, and continue sleeping.

More importantly, ever since Liang Chen knelt before Old Ye's grave, he had considered Old Ye to be his master.

Zhou Nan had anticipated this long ago; while Zou Yinglong was speaking, he had been keeping a close eye on the students below.

Xu Yangda stood up with extreme reluctance, gave a bow, muttered a few indistinct words in his throat, and brushed the matter aside.

"You dog of a slave, still won't come over and beg forgiveness from the three of them? Do you want me to keep you tied up for your looks?" Zhang Wutian cursed up a storm.

They were the strongest existence in terms of warships, soldiers, and even commanders. With that kind of might, to say nothing of a mere Hokkaido, even the entire East Sea could be forcefully suppressed. How could such a force possibly lose?

Before these Chosen Knights could even crawl back up after crashing to the ground, the liquid metal on the ground crept up over their bodies and instantly solidified, trapping them firmly in place just like those divine servants.

The two sides argued without yielding, but in the end, Gan Zhuozhi won the argument. Gan Zhuozhi could leave whenever he pleased, but Yang Jiuhuai could not afford to wait. Pressed by circumstances, he was completely out of options.

Later on, when her husband made the excuse that his company wanted to acquire a peer enterprise to expand its scale and claimed a lack of funds, she proactively and trustingly transferred over ninety percent of the shares she held into her husband Huang Haohua's name, all while eagerly awaiting the return of a husband whose career had finally stabilized.
