Chapter 35: An Arm Lost, and Another Tide of Corpses Approaching?!
Captain Catpaw was sent flying by Jade Princess’s pig charge, but fortunately, Qiao Jia happened to pass by and caught her with ease.
However, the price was that Qiao Jia’s hand fell off right in front of everyone.
With a soft thud, an arm dropped to the ground.
The survivors were utterly shocked, their faces drained of color, eyes nearly popping out as if they would all turn into squealing chickens.
“Ahhh—Mayor—your hand!”
Guo Sheng looked just as anxious. After a hurried discussion with Magistrate Li, he quickly mounted a horse and rode to Yangzhou Prefecture, seeking out the most renowned physician there.
Meanwhile, under Huo Qifeng’s intense scrutiny, Zhuang Xinna couldn’t help but lower her head in embarrassment. Even the cowlick on top of her head drooped, and she was unable to string together her usual grandiose words.
The pride faded from Ming’s face as he hung his head in silence. Back then, he had learned something he shouldn’t have known, and someone had set his house ablaze, burning him alive. His death was filled with regret and resentment, which kept his soul from reincarnating after death.
As the instrument was about to come crashing down, a dazzling white light suddenly burst from the bell in Bai Ti’s hand. The palm-sized bell began to expand, growing larger and larger. Bai Ti had no choice but to toss it to the ground, and in an instant, it stood as tall as a person.
Lone Moon had no choice but to pull it out again, and with an earthen technique, she filled in the crack in the ground. With nowhere left to hide, Yin Qi spun around in a panic, then suddenly rolled her eyes upward and flipped over, hitting the ground with a smack and lying motionless, pretending to be completely dead.
They held their wedding at the edge of the world, and in this legendary place, they swore an oath to remain together always, promising to reunite even if parted.
If Ye Chuyuan truly had ulterior motives, with her intelligence, she wouldn’t tell such an obvious lie.
After muttering to herself, Ye Chuyuan was about to examine other spells when she noticed four pairs of eyes gazing at her with a plaintive intensity.
In the alternate dimension opened by Yuan, Di Feng watched in astonishment as the world twisted and transformed, rendered speechless by the spectacle.
The lights dimmed in the venue, and the curtain that had concealed an area was slowly drawn back, revealing rows of carefully calibrated equipment.
Su Ye smiled, knowing his senior was only teasing him in jest. He hadn’t thought much of it before—after all, they were in touch daily, sometimes even video-calling—but now, with these words, he felt an itch of longing.
Dinner was ready. Since Chen Yao had fainted earlier, there hadn’t been time to bring out the rest of the giant spider monster’s ingredients, so tonight’s menu featured the chest and belly meat of the giant spider, along with a can of preserves and several canned drinks for each table. The staple was rice, but that was exclusive to Chen Yao’s table.
Then, as if in slow motion, he clearly saw the woman’s face shift to astonishment in about thirty-five milliseconds. She seemed to instinctively reach for the relay point, her legs tensing, one foot preparing to brace her body.
“All right, enough. Tomorrow I have to visit the Divine Void Pool to look for clues about the hidden treasury key. Make sure to notify those disciples, so nothing goes wrong,” Chen Yao suddenly said, turning his head.
In fact, the interaction between the two tonight had already spread online. What would normally have sparked heated debate and immense attention was, in their words, no more than everyday conversation—no complacency, just a simple sharing of life.
Ye Luoyin strove to keep her composure, knowing they’d discussed everything before coming, and Ye Feng had warned her again and again not to mess things up here.
Ji Xiaocheng paused, bringing his nose close to the mouth of the container. As expected, he couldn’t sense any trace of carbon dioxide escaping.
