Chapter 36

Qu Heming still didn’t understand why Talon was targeting Wanli Financial Research Institute, but... it couldn’t be just because of Wang Nuo, right? Even if it involved Zhou Minghai’s team, they certainly didn’t hold an absolutely central position.

“We’ve bribed some guards and eunuchs from key departments. According to current intelligence, although the Japanese have been in contact with the Qing royal family, they haven’t made any major moves yet,” Wang Tianmu replied with a frown.

At the mention of a whole chicken feast, the fat on Fatty’s face instantly lifted as he happily hopped over and obediently sat down.

Grant looked dejectedly at the remaining soldiers. After two battles, the American troops had dwindled to less than three hundred, suffering over fifty percent casualties—an immense loss. As Tang Jian said, it would be effortless for him to wipe us out.

Ji Manrou had nothing to say and quietly left the bedroom. Before going, she glanced at me with a look so complex, filled with emotions I couldn’t quite decipher.

Two masterful blades clashed, releasing a wild shockwave at the point of impact. Accompanied by sparks, Chen Feng and Panda King were both forced to retreat over a hundred meters.

From initial resentment, to disgust, then worry, jealousy, and finally, when he closed his eyes, all he saw was her. Just looking at her made all his anxiety and fear vanish instantly.

After lunch, our group prepared to return to the city. I had worried that Fang Heng would be unattended, but when I asked the villa staff to make arrangements, they told me Shen Yi had already taken care of it. While Fang Heng recuperated here, someone would attend to his daily needs until he healed and returned.

No matter who you were in the industry, seeing this situation would make your heart skip a beat.

The scene was ten times more overwhelming than watching on TV—not only because of being there firsthand but also because of the tens of thousands of people celebrating alongside. One could never truly feel it without being present.

Noticing the abnormality behind her, the Crown Princess turned around. When her clear eyes met mine, she froze for a moment, then smiled brightly as if nothing had happened. Yet those eyes were unmistakably swollen and terrible.

Suddenly, a flood of information surged through my mind. Tang Li hurriedly covered her head, struggling to absorb it despite the discomfort.

However, this awkward atmosphere didn’t last long because Tang Li saw what was behind him—his clothes were ripped in several long tears stained with blood, clearly the marks of those fierce beasts’ claws.

As the layer of clothing was stripped away, my heart seemed to leap into my throat, suffocating me so much that breathing felt extremely difficult.

Ming Lexue’s voice was cut off before she could finish as a gust of wind blew her and Qian Mo away, throwing them far off.

But after that message was sent, there was no reply—clearly, Lü Weihang didn’t want to address the issue.

These words, laced with sarcasm, harshly mocked Sun Youde, especially emphasizing the phrase “blind as a bat.”

Until the figure disappeared behind a curtain, the silent hall suddenly erupted with deafening screams.

Shen Xiao’s words made the emperor’s face tighten abruptly, and a bad premonition immediately rose from his heart.

After some thought, Qian continued, “I wonder how skilled her counterattack is.” If it’s proficient, all previous data would need to be overturned and rewritten; if just average, then no need, as that would only mean she hasn’t trained long.

Seeing the cloak dropped at the stairway, he smiled gently, hurried to pick it up, and softly dusted off the settled dust.

Cheng Yanzhong wore sportswear and sneakers, ready to accompany Jiahao for a game of football later. During breakfast, they passed dishes to each other, making eating difficult. Afterward, they rested briefly before Jiahao began playing.

His brows didn’t move; his dark phoenix eyes calmly met hers. With one hand in his pocket, he stood leisurely by the computer desk.

“Master!!!” Luo Wusheng not only disliked this fifth Mo but utterly despised him. Earlier, she had been scared stiff by his sudden seriousness, but now he was playing tricks on her for fun. Clearly, her own cultivation was still too shallow.

“Alright, I won’t disturb you then. You can pack your clothes yourself,” Xie Fen smiled and left the room.

Once vibrant Dragonbone Mountain suddenly became lifeless after a brief rainfall. This land could no longer nurture new life, and no creature dared to approach anymore.

Su Ruoyao shook her head, “Nothing else, just still feeling cold, yawns.” Another yawn came, and Su Ruoyao wiped her eyes with silk. The silk was already damp, so she resorted to tissue paper.

Holding onto a belief made the process of everything less tedious and no longer important.

Zhen Duzhi was gentle yet strong to Su Ruoyao, someone trustworthy. The more he said “don’t cry,” the more Su Ruoyao wept softly, fragile enough to make one want to protect her.

Severely wounded, even her ever-present pipa instrument shattered under the force, flipped to the ground by a powerful blast.

Now, outside the east gate of Ghost Domain City, aside from a few novices who had just arrived to hunt prairie wolves, there was no one else. Xu Feng and his group exchanged smiles, finally returning to a quiet environment.

Erlai sized up Yang Chan, calculating that this was a perfect opportunity. If he could rescue Yang Jian’s mother, teach her sister magic techniques, and recruit her as a disciple, it might effectively restrain or even subdue Yang Jian.
