Volume 1, Chapter 49: Xixi Really Hurts...

The so-called change of scenery was understood by all; a night of wind and rain passed, and the next morning remained bright and clear.

“Alright!” Su Rui stared at the two bottles in her hands. She twisted off the caps, took a deep breath, tilted her head back, and drank both down.

He glanced around the entire office. When the shifty, cunning look was placed on Wen Niannian, it sparkled and shone. Even though she wore all black today, making her seem less striking, her face was still remarkably resilient.

In truth, such a secret core of a mystical realm—capable of refining the heart through reincarnation and allowing one to break through an entire major realm below the supreme level upon emergence—was enough to arouse envy. Otherwise, the Ni family would not have been destroyed because of it.

Meanwhile, Li Yang informed Li Yuting that he would be attending a month-long military training, and would try to minimize contact during that time, so she need not worry. Li Yuting, knowing it was a normal school plan, wasn’t concerned and only reminded Li Yang to take good care of himself.

Personnel assignments had been issued, and the departments were gradually filling up. The Planning Department gained a design specialist, Chen Chen, but the position of planning manager remained undecided. Gong Xue quietly worked hard toward securing that managerial role.

The group boarded the plane again and flew back to the city, where they rented three cars: Facundo and Alexei formed one team, Hilda and Carl another, and Cindy went alone. They dispersed to search for any trace of “Black Caesar,” focusing on restaurants, major supermarkets, and other daily goods markets.

Wen Niannian didn’t know what Yu Moqin was thinking and waited a long time before seeing him make a move.

“Oh, should I add some radish to cook with the fish?” Annie nuzzled his face affectionately.

Then everyone started teasing, chatting excitedly, envying how Wen Niannian was so loved and cherished.

Because she was never doted on from the start, whatever those people did to her was always taken for granted.

Nuan Nuan recently communicated with the Beijing laboratory staff via computer, with Gao Quliang handling the contact. Video conferencing allowed them to hold face-to-face meetings and research, so their work was not much delayed.

The scenery was lush and endlessly green, vibrant and layered as if dripping with life, filled with boundless vitality. Just a glance brought joy to the heart.

“So that’s it. No wonder the leader of the Suwen Sect chose this sacred mountain as the sect’s foundation. It contains a trace of the primal essence that continuously emanates the aura and rhythm of primal energy, making it easier to comprehend its profound mysteries.”

While she was at a loss for words, her rosy lips were seized again. This time, it was far from a mere fleeting touch.

Xiao Tuo didn’t wait for his sixth brother to finish speaking; he grabbed the rag from his hand and threw the rags assigned to the three brothers back to Wei Lin.

With the foundation of the Eternal Origin Supreme’s methods, it wasn’t long before the jade disc deduced a cultivation method suited for him.

Ignoring Xiao Ziyang, she looked at everyone and asked, “What happened? Who reported the incident? And what about him?” Zhao Lin pointed at Jin Ming as she spoke.

“Yaya?” Lady Liu glanced toward Pang Ya as she burst in, her eyes flickering softly as she whispered the name.

After all, these creatures not only lacked significant combat strength but were merely ordinary mortal beasts, common throughout the countless mountains of this region, hardly anything remarkable.

“Leave it to me. You are the second-in-command after the eldest brother; how could I disobey such an order?” Qing Da said as he instructed someone to bring two baskets of soup dumplings to Du Yuesheng’s room, temporarily forgetting the previous topic.

He first expressed self-reproach for the inadequate protection by the Shanghai army and immediately executed two Shanghai army generals responsible for the guards on the spot, showing his remorse. These two generals were among the loyalists Chen Qimei could not fully control.

Tang Shi took a deep breath, her body sagging without any objection. Did she willingly agree to an engagement with Mu Tianqi? No. He still saw through it. Tang Shi didn’t understand how Chen Hao discerned this, but with a bit of careful thought, it was easy to find the many loopholes in her earlier words.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown duration, Ji Yuchen finally became familiar with his divine body and power. Just as he opened his eyes, a long howl echoed ahead.

As time gradually slipped by, the wave of magical energy dissipated. A fiery red figure flew through the air, blood still at the corner of his mouth, yet he remained suspended above the ground, refusing to fall from the challenge platform.

After many failed attempts, Shen Feng suspected his cultivation was insufficient to unlock these knowledge and reluctantly gave up. Deep down, he only hoped to break through soon.

Of course, Beckham not only taught students free-kick techniques but also served as the head coach of one of the teams.

A pair of big eyes glared furiously at Borini, but Borini ignored him, still looking toward Ariel’s direction. Where was the focus on playing football?

Long Fei looked helplessly at the three staring at him with bright eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

Now that Annie was speaking with her alone, the conversation was surely led by Herista. However, Li Lingyi didn’t worry she would ask anything extreme. One could imagine that if it were Mikasa, she might immediately ask about the giants—not because she was reckless, but because she was straightforward.
