Chapter 111: The Harvest

Although it was the plain truth, it sounded anything but pleasant. Qingci nodded with a dark expression. "If the opportunity arises, I will naturally return with them." She worried that Heijin would never let her leave, harboring a vague feeling that the demonic barrier within her was not so simple.

Although he could travel a thousand meters in an instant, unless it was a matter of utmost importance, even a Golden Core master would not choose to fly alone; it was simply too undignified.

Following a shrill howl, the massive creature crashed into the water with a boom and lay motionless.

Ying Mingyu ignored her and looked around. The area was filled with bedroom mock-ups; seeing no sofas or balcony furniture, he led Lu Qianqian toward an incline as indicated by the signs.

Hearing Ning Qing'er's words, Li Cheng smiled slightly. The image of his foster sister immediately surfaced in his mind. After wiping his mouth, he stood up and left the room together with Ning Qing'er.

Behind the curtain, Murong Zijing listened, her eyes wide with shock, while her hands tightly sealed her mouth shut.

"Am I early this time?" Wang Zixi asked, arching her penciled eyebrows and curling her lips, though her gaze remained fixed on Ying Mingyu.

The temperature of the Ancient Battlefield was not something an ordinary person could withstand. At high noon, it was sometimes so sweltering that even those at the ninth level of the Void Refining stage could not bear it; even masters at the Return to Origin stage would be drenched in sweat. Those with lower cultivation might even die of heatstroke, which was why no cultivator in the Ancient Battlefield was below the fifth level of Void Refining.

Jiulu practiced Qi according to her method, drawing it into the alchemy furnace to refine the immortal herb essence, and sure enough, a subtle change occurred.

The instructor, operating on the principle of shifting the blame onto others, feared Gu Changsheng’s retaliation and promptly pinned the fault on Yin Yi, claiming that she had carelessly trampled the area.

Zheng Xiyuan cursed himself; why think of such things now? When it was time to act, one should act. He had always been impulsive, and what use was there in needing a reason?

The final beam rifle took reference from the standard equipment of assault-type armed robots. It could fire beams in rapid succession; while not extremely powerful, as standard issue, it was leagues ahead of the single-shot magic crystal rifles. It held an absolute advantage against enemy infantry.

"Because of greed, and the various psychological states of man. Every treasure inside is enough to drive one mad, and each level is better than the last!" With only this explanation, the group fell into silence.

New Hope was also heavily affected. The joint suppression by BT Entertainment and Yixin Entertainment left many of its planned dramas shelved, and several already in production were halted.

"Gu, have you ever heard the legend about elephants? They say that before every elephant dies, it returns to the burial ground of its species, where countless elephant skeletons lie, along with mountains of ivory..." Anderson rambled on, growing increasingly excited.

As for how they arrived on Earth, Gu Fengchun did not know. However, he believed that Qin Qing might understand this object. Thus, he posed the question.

Zheng Xiyuan took Xue Hen in the sports car he had left in Ruolaini, while An Xi and the other two shared a sedan. Beiye Mo drove Murong Shenxia in her sports car.

Chuxia walked slowly toward the door. Chu Tian seemed to have been waiting by the car for a long time. Seeing her, he didn't say a word, his hands still in his pockets, just watching her quietly from afar.

She seemed very agitated, waving her hands constantly, her mood clearly poor. Before long, Ou Jinyu stood thoughtfully behind her, patting her shoulder in comfort.

"Of course it's missing! That's why I told you to look for it!" Jiang Lifeng put away his phone, looking at the Black Dragon with desperate eagerness.

"Yes, my lord." The soldier hurriedly responded, not daring to show the slightest negligence, and quickly rose to lead Ye Lang out of the large tent.

"This is the Consort Shu's first visit to the General's Mansion; naturally, we must pay close attention!" Zimo tapped her unruly husband a few times, telling him to hurry and report to the main courtyard.

"I was just afraid you would worry. I feared that if you knew everything too early, you would inadvertently show a flaw! This time, I believe Lan Ruomei stabbing me was also a spur-of-the-moment decision!" Zhong Zimu stroked Su Ziqi’s hair, the scent of her tresses permeating his heart.

*What am I thinking?* Zheng Hanfei tapped his own head. Now was not the time for this; he should concentrate on answering the questions and pray that everything would go smoothly. There was something waiting for him after the exam, something far more difficult than the test in his hands—a single mistake could cost him his life.

After all, they all had barcodes; each time one was scanned, it was recorded here. It was truly elegant to be able to command from the office.

Zhao Lingling introduced Su Yishui and Su Yirou to the three of them, and when she introduced Zhang Wan, she deliberately emphasized her tone and inflection.

"I just got back as well. Seeing you sleeping soundly, I knew you hadn't eaten dinner yet! I haven't eaten either. Come, let's go downstairs and have something. I asked the kitchen to prepare some food; let's go see if it’s to your taste!" Zhong Zimu opened the door, and the bright lights from the hallway spilled in, dazzling Su Ziqi’s eyes.

During this period, he had occasionally clashed with magical beasts, and unknowingly, his strength had grown significantly. This, naturally, made him more and more excited; whenever he heard of magical beasts, he wanted to go and have a fight.

"Sister, you once said that in the inner palace, the Emperor’s favor is paramount. Does that mean if we have his favor, others won't dare to bully us?" Zhou Mulin asked, half-understanding, but she only needed to remember that favor was the most important thing.

In the past, it was because she had snatched Zheng Yao away and conspired with him to deceive her, nearly causing her to lose her life.

Because Luo An'an had previously done some illegal things to the families of those three workers, and the local police station had ignored it, the leadership team of the police station had now been replaced.

Chi Wan pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction, and Guan Chuqi nodded repeatedly beside her.
