Chapter 58: Natural Disaster

The freshly roasted rabbit, crispy and golden, had just been placed on the table when the eyes of the other two lit up.

Shi Nianqing used a dagger to cut it into small pieces, keeping the skin attached to the meat.

The skin was golden, crispy, and crunchy. Shi Nianqing picked up a piece and popped it into her mouth.

With a crisp crunch, a rich aroma burst forth in her mouth, and the savory juices danced between her lips and teeth.

It was simply too delicious!

"The skin is crispy, the meat inside is tender and juicy, and the spices here are exceptionally..."

Over on this side, the figure in the black robe watched the twelve golden giants glare at him with wide, furious eyes and shout reprimands, his heart fluttering with anxiety.

A gentle breeze swept past him, bringing a sudden chill that made him shiver uncontrollably. It was only then that Addison realized his body had unknowingly been soaked through with cold sweat.

This shock reached an unimaginable level. In the entire life of the Ape Spirit, such a shock... was a first.

However, a vast number of Chaos Hunters had already gathered within, crowding room after room, some squatting and some sitting.

Hearing this, Tang Lin immediately recalled those enemies shrouded in the "Chaos Mist." At that time, they had stood there as if completely devoid of sensation, allowing Elder Gaia and his people to slaughter them at will.

They were not demonic beasts, and since they hadn't rested last night, they definitely needed to get a good night's sleep tonight.

"There were attendants before, but after Noble Consort Lian gave birth to a stillborn child, her temperament became violent and erratic, nearly torturing her personal maid to death. The Emperor therefore dismissed everyone else, leaving her to live here in solitude, with the imperial kitchen only sending meals at scheduled times," Youzhu explained patiently.

"...Nanny... Nanny?" Seeing that Nanny Fang's expression was very strange, as if she had fallen into a trance, Song Xiaoyu called out to her several times without any response. The maid Qiuyue hurriedly stepped forward and gently tugged at Nanny Fang's sleeve.

When the fourth piece was added, the previously silent reinforcement machine closed its loading port just like it did for the raw Ryan Carbon, and then began to vibrate and roar.

While Shi Man watched the battlefield situation, surmising that this battle would likely last quite a while, Tang Lin looked down over the battlefield from above, feeling quite irritable inside.

Jinse's eyes lit up upon seeing these two treasures, and she hurriedly reached out to take the two luminous pearls in her hands, turning them over to examine and observe their miraculous properties.

Yet the person deeply entrenched in her heart, whom she could not shake off, and her lingering attachment were like roots taking firm hold there. Such attachment inevitably turned helpless, carrying a hint of sorrow. No one knew what it felt like to care so deeply for someone in one's heart while pretending on the surface not to care at all, putting up a front of utter indifference.

"Jingwen, you go ahead with your work then. Shizuko and I will be leaving first, and we can chat again when we have the chance." Gu Shengnan looked at Lu Jingwen and smiled as she said goodbye.

The environment in South City was wonderful, unlike Night City, which suffered from severe pollution. Especially in this season, you could hardly see a few stars at night. She looked up at the night sky of South City, carrying the emergency contraceptive pills she had just bought in her bag, feeling utterly restless and disturbed.

The mere thought of it felt somewhat terrifying. Xiao Xuanran decided that once dawn broke, she would go find a psychotherapist, because at a time like this, she simply could not afford to fall ill with such a condition.

A series of vibrations came through, and the bed actually split directly down the middle, parting toward both sides.

"The sound of thunder? The sun is out and shining so brightly. Could it be a bolt from the blue as the legends say?" Xiaolong was rather puzzled. The sunlight outside streamed through the window, appearing somewhat dazzling.

Lulan was clearly terrified as well, her body visibly trembling. Yun Ying took her other hand. Amidst the slightly chilly mountain breeze, Sun Meng actually found her palms sweating. Watching the rising dust motes drift up and then settle back down, with a biting chill surrounding her body, she didn't know when a layer of gray haze had shrouded the air, causing Sun Meng's heart to shiver, one chill after another.

Sword Sect's Liu Yijian: [Surprised expression] Does that mean Fellow Daoist Wuyouzi has encountered this kind of situation before?
