Chapter 64: The Ship Beneath the Sea

The Little Tyrant washed the bowls and prepared to head home. “Mom, I’m going back now. If Dad doesn’t come home, don’t be scared. There are soldiers standing guard in the residential compound, so no petty thieves would dare come around.”

Lu Jianwei wanted to tell him to stop calling her “Mom,” but knowing how stubborn the boy was, she decided not to waste her breath. “Alright, I know. I’ll walk you back.”

“Great, thanks, Mom!”

He waited for Lu Jianwei to dry her hands, then eagerly reached out and took her hand, skipping along beside her.

Ye Feng gave the others a meaningful glance. At this moment, he too noticed something odd… vines were slowly creeping along.

“I wonder what choice Huaxia and Russia will make. They probably can’t sit still by now,” Erik thought to himself.

“Chu Yang, congratulations on passing the trial!” Lü Jie greeted Chu Yang as he walked over, expressing his heartfelt congratulations.

Ye Feng did not channel any battle energy; in fact, under the hundredfold amplification, he was the only one present who hadn’t done so. This was all thanks to the restrictions placed on him during his imprisonment. Han, on the other hand, was not skilled in strength, so he could only barely defend himself by channeling dark battle energy.

Throughout these many years, neither Long Xingyu nor Bai Yue had ever truly helped him in any way.

On each page, there were lines that seemed to be about cultivating one’s character. The opening page read: “The Profound One is the ancestor of nature, and the great progenitor of all diversity.”

The blade, usually the most common of weapons, was rarely seen in such length. To wield such a long blade with ease was no simple feat, and any technique performed with it could only be overwhelmingly forceful and domineering.

The blond youth, heart pounding, shuffled a step to the side, even though he hadn’t been close to Yu Shuangshuang in the first place. The lecherous old man still wore a lascivious grin, but dared not meet Yu Shuangshuang’s eyes, for fear of bringing misfortune upon himself.

Calmly queuing up, they passed through the city guards’ inspection with the flow of the crowd. Li Hai and Fire Phoenix finally entered Red Scale City without trouble. No sooner had they entered than Li Hai shook his head in slight discomfort, finding the surrounding bustle somewhat overwhelming.

If it can be true, it means it isn’t. Asking Emperor Jing is asking a blind man for directions—in other words, Emperor Jing had no idea whether the matter was real or not. Ding Yi pondered Xing’an’s words for a moment, then nodded and gestured for him to continue.

Gu Lingze raised an eyebrow but neither nodded nor shook his head; he simply spoke first about the jade pendant.

After hanging up the phone, Mijia closed her eyes. After being disturbed, she couldn’t fall back asleep. She made herself calm and began counting sheep. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep… ninety-nine sheep, one hundred sheep.

If there had been even a slight delay today and something had gone wrong, people wouldn’t say this or that about anyone else—they would point straight at Yun Lei’s back and curse him for failing to manage his subordinates and for being incompetent as a commander.

The doctor examined his wound and found it to be nothing serious. After a tetanus shot and some medicine, the wound was bandaged. Lastly, the doctor wrote a few prescriptions, provided some ointment and bandages, gave his instructions, and that was that.

These doubts continued to ferment in Su Ning’s mind. Rubbing her throbbing temples, she prepared to put the withered grass away.

Fang Jixin bowed ninety degrees to Huo Chenyan, then gave a crisp military salute before leaving swiftly and respectfully.

As for Consort Yu and Qi Yixuan, mother and son, he could leave them be for now—but toward the others, Qi Yuanjing’s expressionless face showed a flash of icy coldness in his eyes.

Those words were true; from a physiological standpoint, as long as this child was born into the world, he had already lost his parents, and he would never be able to find them again.

“First, fund that research team. Find out the tiger’s range of activity, then relocate everyone within that area,” Mijia said.
