Chapter 40: A Guest Arrives

It was the dead of night, silent and still. The streets were completely deserted. Only then did I pedal a tricycle, carrying the old beggar’s corpse, heading toward the mass grave on North Mountain. Gu Qianxi had originally wanted to accompany me, but I politely declined. After all, the matters I needed to discuss with my father tonight concerned her, and it would have been inconvenient to speak freely with her present. So, I had to lull her to sleep first.

Consequently, they answered Liu Ye’s every question, wishing they could pour their hearts out to her. They all regretted not meeting her sooner and wished Princess Jieyou could stay in the palace for a few more days. Watching the scene before them and listening to the conversation between Lu Qiushi and Chu Youjing, Ye Lipeng and the others suddenly felt like they were in a television drama, a feeling Kong Feng experienced most strongly.

"An artifact spirit! This Profound Seal Terrace of Feng Li must be at least a Heaven-Tier artifact!" Yu Wan and Si Shao thought simultaneously.

At first, he had assumed the Zhang family would lead him to a room with a bed or move a bed in for him temporarily. After all, since Zhang Tiankai had a favor to ask of him, he shouldn't be so unreasonable.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The three of them had been running frantically without food or water, and with the excessive depletion of their inner energy, even as Sword Kings, they were reaching their limits.

After ten years of recuperation, the Xiongnu had gradually regained their strength. However, during this period, the development of the Wusun had also been changing with each passing day, exceeding the imagination of the Xiongnu royal family. To think they could conquer the Wusun as easily as before was a pipe dream, and it would cost them decades of hard work.

Although the experience gained from killing these rabbits was minimal, we continued to fight until we slowly approached the top of the mountain. At that moment, the scenery finally changed; before us were no longer rabbits, but giants—colossal snowmen.

"It’s okay now, I’m here. It’s okay..." Zhou Yi held Zhu Feiya, listening to her heartbroken sobs, and seeing the blue and purple bruises on her body, his own tears finally welled up from his eyes in anguish.

Ling Zhi and Zhou Yong both looked at Song Xixin, curious to know how much one’s lifespan would increase upon breaking through from the Starry Period to the Eternal Period. A million years? Ten million years?

"She’s already asleep. Hehe, if you don't tell Baggio and me what happened on the Savage Grasslands, we definitely won't let you sleep today!" Lando said with a devious smile.

"Within the Dream Mist, it is equivalent to reorganizing all the primal forces of the world. Any object composed of primal force will be corroded," Alwood said from the side.

They knew how delicate Zhang Shiwan’s body was; being hit and thrown like that felt like a precious piece of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering.

To ensure he wouldn't be attacked, Sun Wukong had first unhooked the Vast Sea Dark Gold Gourd from his body to lighten his load. Deprived of the gourd’s power, his speed increased several times over.

Although it was a very sentimental romantic line, it felt a bit... awkward when An Moxi said it.

This point truly caught Elder Song Yan off guard, to the extent that after he sensed this strange change, the pride on his face was gradually replaced by a hint of confusion.

Jing Peng’s expression remained indifferent, and when his classmates saw Tang Ying’s constipated expression, they immediately understood.

"You are allowed to kill me, but I cannot kill you? You have killed so many people without being punished?" Hao Chen suddenly sneered.

She found a hotel, caught up on some sleep, and went to the garage to find her precious car. It was still shiny, and her eyes held a hint of nostalgia as she couldn't help but think of the time she crashed it with her boyfriend.

Moreover, there was construction on the adjacent building, emitting a loud noise that masked Zhong Xing’s voice; his words were heard by Gu Jiajia alone.

Although they had been fortunate enough to see Leng Potian use this technique, they hadn't been able to withstand a single round under Leng Hai’s incantation.

In fact, the energy of this secret realm was more beneficial to Li Si in terms of his internal power. Although his martial cultivation level hadn't improved much, he discovered that his internal force had become more enduring.

Qin Xiao looked at Tang Sicheng. This time, he was unusually calm, like a hibernating snake, and didn't utter a word about Hua Yuntian’s plan to send troops to suppress the bandits.

After he had cut his own flesh for You Ruo and it still failed to make her evolve, declaring the experiment a failure, he hid back into his Sumeru Ring in secret.

Upon hearing this, the group was quite dissatisfied. How could they be willing to be trampled under the feet of a foul woman?

With a few quick slashes, the thin brocade dress on Su Qianxue’s body immediately shattered into countless rags, revealing her snow-white jade body under the dim light.

After hearing this, Cheng Liang lowered his head and pondered. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was clever for pulling Cheng Man into the fold; he never would have thought of these methods even if he racked his brains.

When he mentioned that his house was haunted and that he wanted to find a reliable master, someone asked in confusion why he was looking far afield instead of seeking help closer to home.

Having said that, he left in a hurry. Being with Li Bufan made him feel an immense amount of pressure.

One must know that Gu-insects were special beings cultivated by the ancestors of the Southern Frontier from the transformation of all things, and they had an extremely strict hierarchy.

Fang Hong steadied his breathing. Although he had long anticipated her fate, his heart still shook violently the moment he saw the corpse.

The boundary not crossed remained uncrossed. Before the breakthrough, although the half-dragon’s strength had reached its peak, it was still within a controllable range.

Although it was a high-explosive incendiary shell, the caliber was at least 20mm, so it had some armor-piercing capability.

Otonashi was indeed humbly asking for advice, as she might very well encounter such a situation in the future.

The hardness of the exterior and interior of a Void Fragment are two extremes. After a shell was detonated within its core, this crystal instantly became a true "Void Fragment."

Thinking back, it really is easier to get things done when you have connections at court. The editor introduced by Aunt Chen is really good. No, I must go visit the old lady and bring her some homemade pastries to taste.
