Chapter 61

As a seasoned foodie and top chef, when faced with such an otherworldly creature, the first thought was never about danger or difficulty in capturing it. Instead, the foremost concern was its flavor and the best way to prepare it.

After a brief pause, the group followed Yayu, moving through the village until they reached the colossal Twin Dragon Gate.

“No, no, the merchants who sell these gems and jade came from a place where they found a kind of spirit-nurturing wood. I sensed a scent within it, very comforting.”

A voice filled with malice suddenly echoed in Dorothea’s mind. She stared blankly at the hellish scene unfolding in the sky.

After a while, Yuhong returned with his entourage. Yujin and Yushen couldn’t help but fix their gaze on him, making him feel utterly uneasy.

Lu Jia did his best to suppress the oppressive aura of the evil god’s true form, allowing the knights to see the gray-red eyes and forgive the offense of disrespect.

“Then you must first tell me who sent you to find me?” Dongjun continued with a startling tone.

The elderly man’s face was expressionless, revealing no hint of favor or disdain. He nodded slightly to Chen Mu before turning to leave.

Finally, after confirming no one was behind him, the eldest senior brother, Wu Qiushan, who had been hiding in the shadows, revealed himself.

Mu Chi had yet to speak when Lingxiao shouted, “Trying to run? Not so easy! But you’re right—who knows if there are hidden weapons here? It’s always safer to block you upfront!” With that, Lingxiao roughly pulled Tang Youyou in front of him.

Following Gu Chaoxi’s harsh words, she felt Luo Bingwu’s spirit, which had been guarding and unwilling to leave, being extracted from the body at that moment. She even experienced a fleeting sense of long-lost relief.

Fengguang almost spat out the blood in her mouth upon hearing that familiar voice. She held back but ended up coughing violently, as if about to tear her throat out.

Gu Yucheng glanced down at the watermelon in Mo Yanhua’s hand with a faint smile, saying nothing, yet his expression spoke volumes.

More precisely, this was typical of the Mo family. The strict prohibition against using connections to get ahead was first imposed by the old patriarch. Thus, even when Mo Yichen graduated from university and joined the Mo Group, he concealed his identity as the Mo family’s second son, starting from the bottom.

Upon hearing this, Dongling hurriedly fetched the six customary gifts from the carriage, handing them to the teacher with a joyful face: “These are the six customary gifts. Please keep them!” She also added a silver coin or two for tuition.

Yang Hui’s expression was calm yet helpless; after so many years, she had grown accustomed to such speculation. She gently shook Langye’s hand, who was about to rise.

After inspecting the room, Bingwu began observing the people there, a hint of puzzlement in her eyes. She fixed her gaze on him, watching his back intently. Perhaps because of her focus, his silhouette seemed to momentarily stiffen.

“The master has been using his skills more frequently lately. Should we follow him?” the woman in green asked softly.

“Uncle Zhonghe! I won’t leave the village. I’ll be gone in a couple of days. Last time I went back to the provincial city, my teacher heard that our village’s mountain gate archway dates back to the Song Dynasty and asked me to take some photos,” Xiao Yao said, pretending to take pictures with his camera.

Japanese players noticed Gu Ting’s health decreasing and intensified their attacks. Seeing more bullets and arrows aimed at him, Gu Ting grabbed a nearby Japanese ronin player. The ronin’s eyes widened, head tilted, and was instantly riddled with arrows from his own comrades.

Even more astonishingly, the highly respected President Mu glanced at her and quietly responded with a soft acknowledgment.

Sarcastically, “It seems Father is about to go to Jianghuai for disaster relief. This is an opportunity for everyone.” When Father was home, he could still intimidate them a bit, but if he’s gone for days, who knows what might happen.

“You…!” Vivian felt increasingly wronged seeing Lomis’s mood, her large eyes filling with tears.

As Gu Ting’s words fell, the players from the Glorious Sanctuary followed the captain’s order and launched their attack.

Though unaware of the reason behind his question, hearing the name Yanyan called out by He Yi stirred Mu Yan deeply. It was the first time he had spoken her name so tenderly, so beautifully.

“Boom!” Pale purple lightning struck down, and the Ice Dragon, under Gu Ye’s command, swiftly appeared beside him at the moment of the lightning tribulation.

Mu Yichen’s bitten lip bled bright red. Falling to the ground, he hit his head, forming a large bump. Despite all the wounds and pain, he was completely unaware.

Upon learning the truth, Jian Wushang was filled with grief and rage. His previously despondent and withered body crackled with explosive sounds under the influence of intense sorrow, despair, anger, and hatred.

Ning Jiayu was holding Mo Yuan’s WeChat while fantasizing that Mo Yuan had taken a liking to him.

Strangely, the fire was not an ordinary heat but a very gentle warmth, like a spring breeze.

At first, Jiang Lanzhou eagerly sought advice from Odu, but over time, she simply made all the decisions herself. She was quite strong-willed.
