Volume One, Chapter 33: The Ailing Sisters

If Luo Lan hides in North Selen, then unless Dilomas personally carries out the assassination, the only alternative would be to besiege the city with tens or even hundreds of thousands of troops—which is clearly not a good idea.

Finally, the terrain ahead began to change. Where there had previously been high mountains on both sides, the path suddenly opened into a lush, primitive forest. However, this forest lay far below Ye Qing’s feet; he was currently walking along a narrow path, with deep abysses on either side, and at the bottom of those abysses stretched the primeval jungle.

After an arduous search, the soldiers eventually succeeded in capturing the remaining three members of the Golden Lily Project, seemingly bringing the Dragon-Slaying Project to a perfect conclusion.

The two-headed wind eagles were wind-attribute magical beasts. Unable to get close to the firebird, they began to unleash magic. Suddenly, cyan wind blades filled the sky, striking from every direction, while some eagles flapped their wings to whip up hurricanes, attempting to drag the firebird into the vortex.

Wu Zhi frowned slightly. Why had she come? He deflected with his unsheathed golden sword, forcing Zhu Biao to change his tactics from a bash to a thrust. Wu Zhi sidestepped and simultaneously traced a circle with his blade, forcing back the general in green robes and several retainers. With the crisp sound of twin bells, a white shadow appeared outside the chaotic fray.

Dawn had no particular penchant for group meals, especially since the excellent opening momentum of the arena tournament had been clawed back. Although they won the subsequent team match, it could hardly be called an absolute dominance.

The old man sneered as he spoke, his expression chillingly cold. It was evident from his words that he was filled with confidence in his own malicious scheme.

Flipping through two pages, he saw news of the disbandment of the Flower Dew Guild. After all, with the professional league matches gone, most players were focused on in-game affairs. Flipping back and forth, he found nothing particularly fresh.

However, since Ye Qing had the time to speak, he certainly would not give his opponent a chance to counterattack. A golden fist whistled through the air, striking heavily toward the mask that the man in the black robe was slowly turning.

Wu Zhi said, “Wouldn’t you be more worried if I didn’t tell you, my dear?” In his heart, he sighed; he had only pretended to be unhappy to trick Jinlian into telling the truth, but seeing her anxious expression, his mood grew heavy. *Jinlian, why do you care for me so much?*

Guo Huitong wanted to say something more, but Hao Yu covered her mouth, stopping her. It was unclear why Hao Yu would do such a thing.

Yin Changfeng, of course, knew that she was no longer a sick cat unable to lash out, but a perverse beast in human skin. Hearing this threat, he could only offer a helpless, bitter smile.

Three months later, the entire Heng City had undergone a massive transformation. Through the spread of information by residents online, more people were attracted to the city. The increase in Heng City’s population was only a matter of time; in short, every aspect of the city was moving in a positive direction.

He realized that his good brother, Bian Bi’an, had not spoken a word for over ten minutes.

Chen Yixin thought to himself: *What a fool. That was only one chapter of The Art of War; I still have twelve more chapters to use as capital. Did you think I would be stupid enough to give away such good material all at once?*

Doudou looked at the hung-up phone. If Yu Jinlin had been sentenced to death, could she possibly be a heart donor match? Using the life of a death-row inmate to save the life of a promising young man—all things considered, it would be worth it.

“Whether in ancient times or today, grandmasters of arrays are extremely rare. Moreover, every inherited array from ancient times to the present has been forged through countless trials and is not easily improved or enhanced by others.”

Hearing Chairman Gu’s words, I smiled slightly and said nothing. A lucky star for China? Perhaps. But who was my lucky star?

In truth, deep down, Tomokawa Yasuharu also felt that Fujita Yasusada’s script had turned the original plot into a bit of a mess.

Having no other choice, the Fourth Young Master threw a stack of talismans at Dong Zhanyun. “Boom!” The Fourth Young Master’s most commonly used item was the Heaven-Shattering Talisman, the most effective talisman sold on the market. “Flash-Kill!” Dong Zhanyun’s figure immediately vanished from before the Fourth Young Master.

“Ali, now is not the time.” Xiao Weiyuan, who was observing the battlefield, couldn’t help but frown and whisper upon hearing this.

The more Cui Feng pondered, the tighter his brow furrowed. Just as he fell into deep thought, the dark green bead he held in his hand suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light, and his focused expression began to grow drowsy.

At that moment, a brilliant burst of fire broke through the underside of the burning space mothership, slicing the entire vessel in two.

After lying on the ground to rest for a while, strength returned to Cui Feng’s body. He stood up, walked over to the dark green bead, and bent down to pick it up.

“An adaptation? They want users of the Love River network to experience the romance depicted in my work within a virtual game?” Xiao Menglou asked.

The fighters piloted by Carlos and Park Haechao had been away from the mothership for less than three minutes when the Jurassic-class space carrier finally disintegrated into a wreck in space amidst a sky-high explosion.

“Plump? A friend?” Xiulin tried hard to search through her memories for anyone plump, but the result was none! Looking back at her journey, her friends could be counted on the fingers of one hand; where was there any sign of a plump person?

“Hand it over, otherwise...” The man handed it over with great frustration, but Dong Zhanyun had not expected that he had made a copy, so he didn’t pay it any mind. Watching the girls busy with their chores, Dong Zhanyun didn’t think much more and helped out for a while.
