Volume One, Chapter 34: It Was All a Misunderstanding

[Page 1 of 3]

After earning some money, Ye Xi had no intention of buying a mobile phone. For one thing, she found such devices noisy; for another, she thought they were far too troublesome to use.

“We’ve already come this far! Your refusal won’t do you any good now!” Qing Yi’s face twisted with anger. Tilting her head, she gave a cold snort, bent down, scooped up Soul Eater’s soft, delicate body, and ran toward the Civil Affairs Bureau under the astonished gazes of passersby.

A figure flashed past. At the same moment, blue, ghostly flames rose from all seven woks. As the gas burned together with oxygen, the resulting exothermic reaction rapidly heated the bottoms of the pans.

People were constantly coming and going inside the tall building behind them—various spirits and immortals who had willingly stayed behind to help.

Five minutes later, the scene shifted to the front of a large residence in the northern part of Red Leaf Village. It occupied a sizable plot and appeared to be the grandest home in the entire village.

“How is it?” Lin Wei’s tone was somewhat urgent. Liu Huafeng spent most of his time in City F indoors, let alone going out to investigate the Crown Prince. The matter of his own shooting and fall into the river had not yet been resolved. Anyone connected with his death would attract suspicion if they acted too conspicuously.

The moment he stepped through the door, a loud clang came from the kitchen, followed immediately by the proprietress’s sigh.

Unwilling to believe it, he pressed it hard twice more. With a crack, the button sank straight inside and refused to come back out.

“That works too. It happens to show our sincerity.” Geng Zhiming agreed with Lin Huai’s suggestion.

I was somewhat nervous inside. I was afraid Ying Gou’s temperament was unpredictable and that he might turn against us without warning. If he attacked outright, my situation would become extremely dangerous.

Before we knew it, a week had passed. During that time, no one came to inquire after us, and Yang Zheng could not be bothered to contact the outside world. He took the opportunity to devote himself to training. Yet when no one came even after two more days, Yang Zheng began to worry. That morning, after breakfast, everyone went to the rear courtyard for a walk.

Tengteng was not angry in the slightest. Today, he had seen Mei Bing completely naked, and had even hugged and kissed her. Though he had not done so intentionally, he had undeniably taken advantage of her. Besides, Tengteng had fallen in love with Mei Bing at first sight. So even if Mei Bing slapped him again, Tengteng still would not be angry.

With only a few words between them, the father and son settled the itinerary for Wu Xuan and the others. They did not even give them a chance to refuse before sending people to make the preparations.

“Turn off your flashlights. Stay hidden inside and do not come out unless you hear my voice,” Yang Zheng instructed.

No wonder there was such astringency to the taste. My throat moved, and an indescribable sensation rose within me.

“Have you not already incurred enough debts of gratitude to me? Stop using this routine every time.” Mr. Huo looked coldly at Chen Jialun.

“Qi Jingrui, how dare you point a sword at this king? Who do you think you are? Do you believe that with a single word, I cannot have Father remove you from your title as General Weiyuan?” Qi Jingming glared at Qi Jingrui, his voice unbearably arrogant.

Those few words caused several English teachers in the English office to turn and look at me, their expressions strange.

“I’ll be fine. Get in the car, or we won’t make it in time.” Teacher Qian was unwilling to say more and urged Xia Xiyan and Qin Keke into the car.

“There isn’t anyone? What about her family and relatives?” Luo Zixi still could not let go of the doubts in her heart.

He did not know what kind of relationship existed between that disciple of the Zhao family and their adopted son. If they were too close, then the Zhao family would have gained another formidable opponent.

At that moment, the Old Man with the Ghost Head opened his eyes. A streak of golden light suddenly shot from them, and an immense, incomparably pure force of thought instantly surged into Sha Chengjiao’s mind.

At the thought, Gu Chen somehow found the courage to slowly raise his head and look toward where Jun Hui stood.

“Hello? Is that Yanyan?” Feng Xianxian’s crisp yet deliberately softened voice came through the phone receiver.

The void trembled, and the power of a law suddenly erupted, striking the edge of the Ghost-Head Saber head-on.

A sharp crack rang out. It was not the sound of Su Zheng being hit, however, but the sound of Wang Zhanpeng’s leg striking Su Zheng’s palm.

Yet just as the ancestor of the Luo family was preparing to counterattack, that familiar sense of danger suddenly erupted behind him once more. Glancing back from the corner of his eye, the ancestor immediately saw that the lecherous demonic cultivator had somehow circled behind him again. The man’s hands were pressed together, taking aim at his backside.

Cheng Yanbai, however, sat far away in silence. He wanted to see how Xiao Bohan would deal with Shi Zhengjie. Did Xiao Bohan really think studying abroad was such a great achievement? If he had the ability, he should handle it himself instead of making others laugh at him.

The Ximen clan was situated in the heart of the city and occupied roughly a third of its area. The city was well governed, clean, and prosperous, filled with peace and tranquility.

I happen to know that the Sacred Hall’s summoning technique can only be used by someone who has reached at least the level of a Grand Mage.

Li Dalong understood. No wonder those supreme beings merely chose their own pawns, then influenced and manipulated the balance of the world.

Faced with such circumstances, even those who longed to obtain the rewards of Heaven-Reaching Peak would not let down their guard.

Hearing Long Fei’s words, Lu Xueyao felt a chill run through her heart. It turned out that Long Fei himself could not remember anything he had said moments earlier.

Yu Fengchi’s mother was Emperor Zhao’s most favored imperial consort. To remain favored and respected by Emperor Zhao for more than twenty years was no small achievement.

This style left the people of Zhao feeling refreshed and unfamiliar with what they saw, while also imperceptibly increasing their recognition of Great Qian.

The Fire God Heavenly Craft Formation they had jointly unleashed was tremendously powerful—or so they believed. Yet they had never imagined that before Li Dalong it would prove so utterly helpless, swallowed directly by him.

Although Rainbow Candy possessed Level Five strength and could already overwhelm the vast majority of people in the My Hero Academia world, the problem was this: if her statement was accurate, how could her strength possibly be limited to so little?

Most importantly, Long Fei’s cultivation of the Returning Heart Method was governed by the depth of his internal power. Once his power reached a certain level, the realm of his Returning Heart Method would rise along with it.

The Lion Camel King even suspected that Great Qian’s military campaign had been planned in coordination with Chu all along, with the aim of wiping out the demon race in a single sweep.
