Chapter 88: That Girl Was You

Roman suddenly brought up the past, catching Lin Lu off guard; after all, she hadn't thought about those days in a long time.

"No," she replied. Six years—indeed, there had been nothing.

Roman went on, "Then do you know that before he left for abroad, he was alone in his dorm, burning with fever and nearly lost his life?"

"I didn't know..."

Once again, it was a breezy summer night. The Marquis of Maotai was discussing military deployment details with Robert, while Sanoias was utterly engrossed in the Theory of Elements. Old Li, having nothing to do, decided to take Nightmare for a stroll through the streets of Ink City.

With a buzzing sound, a semi-transparent column of light burst forth in a spreading arc from the mouth of the Holy Grail held by the Mermaid Mummy. When the beam struck between the old scoundrel and the Whisperer, a golden disc two meters in diameter surged out from within the light.

Sky Soaring intended to use these sound waves as a whetstone for his mental strength. Though the pain was excruciating, it was incredibly beneficial. Each soul-piercing agony left him convulsing, yet over time, he gradually learned to withstand these terrifying spiritual assaults.

"What is this thing? Another puppet?" some hunters exclaimed in horror. Having been completely unprepared, they were left wide open by the attack, and in that instant, all the hunters were assaulted by the puppet and fell into a state of paralysis.

The old man's face flushed red. He glanced at Lady Ghost, his expression complex, let out a long sigh, then sat down in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, motionless in his daze.

Old Li's actions brought a rosy blush to Muse's delicate face. She had kept that pinecone pressed close to her heart, and now, seeing Old Li act so frivolously, any young woman would have felt embarrassed.

Upon entering the house, they were greeted by a spacious courtyard filled with a variety of trees, painting the space in lush greenery.

Meng You had spent a long time in Han territory and had heard some tales about Li Hui. His tribe wasn't the most powerful among the Southern Barbarians. The reason the tribes constantly fought was the lack of unity. If Li Hui could help his tribe unify the south, both the tribe and his family name would shine in the annals of history.

"Big Brother, why the rush?" Li Dian’s heartfelt address only deepened Zhuge Jin’s melancholy. Yet no feast lasts forever; with the New Year approaching, it was time to seek out Yu Jin. If he delayed, he might miss the chance to return home for the festival, and leaving again would be difficult.

The voice still echoed in their ears when, from the unstable void, a figure stepped forth. Dressed in flowing blue robes, with eyes that seemed to capture souls, he gazed at the group, causing a ripple of unrest in their hearts. Even the colossal spirits in the void showed signs of dissolving.

Not to mention doctors with professional training in sterilization—there weren’t many medical personnel at all.

A few days ago, the show’s production crew had already visited him, telling him that a reality show would be filming there. The guests would help bring in business, so Brother Liu had followed the livestream and knew that Xia Yangyang had drawn his guesthouse.

Their love had led to marriage, yet they hadn’t even survived the infamous seven-year itch—their relationship fell apart long before that.

After finally finding a boat with space, the captain suddenly peered past Leon, scrutinizing Azarion behind him from head to toe.

Watching their busy preparations, Luo Yan, who had been feeling sluggish after just waking up, could not help but perk up, his spirits lifted by their energy.
