36. Baggage

I left after speaking, waiting for Dog-Head to call me. I have no idea where Yang Zihao took Yin Rongrong, but they returned very late and came straight to find me when they got back.

When I stepped out, I ran into some colleagues. They looked me up and down several times. I knew that despite the layers of makeup I had applied to conceal my poor complexion, the puffiness around my eyes, which had not yet fully subsided, still betrayed me.

It was the second month of midwinter. The blossoms ignored the call of the three winters, pretending to hide away in the hundred-foot sky. The wind and snow had vanished without a trace, seemingly no longer lingering over the eaves and halls of Wushang. For over a month now, the warm sun had been shining, melting the ice and snow, leaving only scattered patches of slush hidden in the dark corners of deep alleys and the crevices of walls.

"In our daily lives, the two of us should transform into turtles," Gui Da said. "That way, moving around the medical clinic won't draw attention, and it will be easier for us to act in the shadows!"

If the previous victory against Ling San was a matter of clever tactics, this victory was a collision of true strength. Lu Feiwei had finally begun to display the abilities expected of a genius.

The group reached the deck of the ship. This massive vessel was actually moored in the city’s lake, seemingly used only for decoration rather than long-distance travel.

"We were well-prepared this time, so it might only take about a minute, but that depends on how far you want to go," Yan Zhi said.

Suddenly, a fierce palm strike lunged at him! Feng Qi looked up and realized three masked men in black, swords in hand, were closing in on him.

The assassin was astonished. He never imagined that his poisoned dart could be caught by Fang Zheng so easily.

Someone even came to ask him to participate in a piano competition, but Yi Le naturally refused. His reason was that it was useless; the prize for the competition was a piano, and he felt that thing was too big to keep at home.

Kato Megumi pointed a slender, scallion-like finger at her chin, a hint of distress hidden within her nonchalant tone.

Inmora-ki was baffled. As a genuine stress-tester, he had never heard of the existence of special bosses.

The latter talent was easier to understand: gaining five attribute points per level up, which was superior to unawakened legendary classes. Over time, the 30-level gap between the first and second promotions would allow Ye Kong to establish a massive advantage in attributes.

Seeing the light sword thrust toward her, Li Yuyun rolled to the side to dodge, but the light sword in Ouyang Zhe’s hand followed her like a maggot on a bone.

At the age of four, Lu Qi, who was supposed to enter the Penglai Villa with his sister Xue’er, was attacked by a mysterious person on the way. Now, the chances of meeting Xue’er were slim.

However, she no longer worried about a lack of spiritual energy when breaking through, because she would always find a place rich in spiritual energy for her breakthroughs.

"Hee hee~" Kasumigaoka Utaha took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Yi Le’s arm, smiling triumphantly as if her scheme had succeeded.

At this moment, Yuzhu waved her hand, causing dozens of water columns to explode from the surface of the sea. Simultaneously, she swayed her body, blocking the Golden-Eyed King’s path.

The winter of the second year of Daye was quite cold. Compared to the previous year, it was much drier and colder, and there had been no snow at all.

Chu Anle nodded. These two words were the keywords, which she had naturally caught. She could only answer in this way; as for whether there would be any connection in the future, even Chu Anle herself was not entirely sure.

But Feng Hongge could not be bothered with that now; these were all things she had anticipated long ago.

Before me lay a black river, and all sorts of ghosts drifted and wandered around me. From time to time, they would drift close—very, very close—to me. The icy aura was almost touching the tip of my nose, and when that chill reached me, I couldn't help but shiver.

The old hag did not want to discuss this, brushing aside every question Xia Xiao threw at her.

Immediately, the Ghost Emperor swore an oath to be forever loyal to Lingxin, with the prerequisite that Lingxin could not stop him from settling scores with the Ghost Saint.

Seeing him like this, Feng Hongge realized he must have had something very important on his mind, and her composure slowly began to settle.

As I spoke, I looked up and let out a loud shout, throwing the photo away with trembling fingers. It turned out that Teacher Luo Liye had arrived outside the window at some point, looking just like a ghost.

She suddenly remembered Tuoba Hong’s heartlessness; her emotions stirred, aggravating her illness once again. Her condition of palace cold had plagued her for many years. Although it prevented her from conceiving, it had never troubled her much, and she usually ate and slept as she pleased. Now, for some reason, the pain was excruciating.

Yet, everyone in the palace knew that Consort Hui had an old grudge against her mistress and they had been at odds for a long time... What was really going on?

However, if I were to get married right under her nose, she would surely be heartbroken. This was something I could never do, so when Li Mei asked me how much money I wanted, I said it didn't matter.

Zhaoping Ma Jiang Town was not far from Wuzhou, about fifty kilometers away. We arrived in Wuzhou before twelve o'clock, and I told the driver to drive straight to the entrance of Wuzhou People's Hospital.

There was a look of admiration in Qiushui's eyes. The current Shu Jingrong was much more composed than she had been in the past.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened. Elder Ren and Elder Yi led the main force of the Songhe Academy back to the inn.
