Volume 1, Chapter 25: Re-entering the Other Shore

"I apologize, I am sorry, but I must say that I did not do it on purpose." This Casper was a powerfully built man, yet for some reason, he seemed to feel a sense of dread whenever he laid eyes on Xiao Yao.

Linglong was also stunned; that sharp, grating sound seemed to strike a nerve, and the corner of her mouth, which had been turned up, suddenly went limp.

Just then, Liu Kun rushed out of the room. Within a few short seconds, he reappeared at the doorway clutching a shrouded body. At that moment, the house suddenly exploded, and both Merry and Hilt were caught in the blast.

Although Lan Yan had cast a restrictive barrier, it was merely one designed to block sound. Creating an illusion array would be too complicated if it were powerful, and useless if it were simple; furthermore, as this was the heart of the Lan family estate, Lan Yan had not given it much thought.

That was not all. Immediately afterward, the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles dissipated rapidly, as if they had suddenly been cast into the mundane world.

His eyes were a deep, dark shade of indigo—so deep that, without close inspection, they appeared almost black.

"Old Xu! This is our newly hired teaching assistant for the History Department, my student, Xiao Yao!" Professor Cen interjected from the side.

As expected, Huo Buren’s remark immediately drew the attention of the Tai family, the Second Family, and the Buddhist sect. Their gazes toward the Lan family grew increasingly hostile, with signs that they intended to use the Lan family to vent their grievances.

Pang Tong felt a chill in his heart. He truly could not get a word in, nor did he know what to say. He clenched his fists, a sense of helplessness surging within him.

Lightning flickered, and the paralysis trap took effect instantly. Caught off guard, the Tigrex was struck; the intense electric current rendered it unable to move, leaving it to let out roars filled with rage as it struggled frantically.

Only now did Gao Yuan truly appreciate Ye Junyao’s excellence. She was not only beautiful but also sensible. For a man, being able to marry such a wife is something to be truly content with.

At the same time, my shoulder collided with Wang Wenwen’s chest, forcing her body to arch backward, though she was not sent flying.

Since that was the case, there was no need for Zhang Liang to correct anything. Under these circumstances, there was nothing for him to rectify, and for him, saying it or not made little difference.

He continued to walk blindly in one direction, repeating that phrase as he went. After walking about twenty or thirty meters, he turned back to the starting point and chose another direction to call out. Once he had traversed all four directions, he had a sense of what to do and chose the initial path, moving forward step by step.

His eardrums felt as though they were about to shatter, and after that, he could hear nothing else. All he saw was a vast, dark red hollow cavity and a long, snake-like creature as thick as a pillar.

Gao Yuan did not care in the slightest what software was installed inside. Abroad, you buy software and get a computer; in China, you buy a computer and get the software. Especially at places that assemble computers, as long as you have the time, you can have as much installed as you like.

The recording today served as a catalyst for the Seigaku tennis team to train even harder. Without needing Hua-mura Aoi to push them, everyone took the initiative to intensify their training, striving to improve their skills by even a fraction before the finals.

However, Baochun refused, saying he did not want to draw attention to himself. He instructed the others not to expose his identity during this trip, telling them not to mention that a princess and a prince had arrived, but to simply claim that an inspector had been sent by the imperial court.

"Ling Yu, what are you looking at?" Xi Mengyao followed Ling Yu’s gaze, but she saw nothing. She wondered if she was just overthinking things.

Shi Lingxiao frowned. This was a genuine Formula 1 driver—a formidable opponent and a tough nut to crack.

When he first met Huangfu Tong, Lin Fan had assumed that although she was a princess, she was naive and at most a bit headstrong.

"My goal is to score seven hundred points. What about you, Sister Qianmo?" Yan Xi suddenly asked, looking at Qianmo.

Besides, a mere first-class ninja who was also so visually unappealing—Wang Yu really did not want him; he would at least require a grandmaster of ninjutsu.

The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Fang Tian. No one knew how he had appeared, and the atmosphere in the surroundings instantly tightened.

"But why did it take twice as long to pull it the same distance as before?" Duan Mosheng hit the crux of the matter.

The two of them assumed Lan Yue was trying to escape and immediately gave chase. However, just as Chen Jinfei began to move, a sense of danger unlike anything he had ever felt before rose in his heart.

Just as Xiao Kuang finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before Zhang Ye, its aura locking directly onto Xiao Kuang.

Xiao Kuang had long been wary of Zhou Li. Even though Zhou Li was severely wounded and on the verge of death, he believed that Zhou Li could still kill him with ease.

Western medicine relies on instruments; without them, it can accomplish nothing. Yet, Western medicine has its merits, and it has successfully overcome many medical challenges.

Of course, Xia Wuyou was writing, and Christina was writing too. She was writing the names Xia Lina and Xia Wuyou, though her handwriting was crooked, which made Xia Wuyou burst into laughter.

After clearing away the surrounding weeds and brambles and watching the fire die down from its peak, Duke made sure it would not spread before turning away, satisfied.

He knew this request was somewhat excessive—President Yang had already agreed to provide financial support, help the studio cover its losses, and ensure that studio decision-making remained unaffected, among other very generous terms.

"Fine, fine, no need for him to serve. Let Peipei serve you instead," Su Dayong said good-naturedly, and then he left, feeling content.
