Volume One, Chapter 21: Exploring the Ruins—A New Chapter for the Brave

“Provide valuable intelligence, and you’ll receive some benefits!” the middle-aged man said expressionlessly. His mind swept over the nine tails of Dao Sui and the fox ears—distinctive traits of the fox clan—and his cold expression shifted slightly.

“Luo Tianyi…” he repeated her name softly. A faint smile appeared on the face of the琴妖.

It was hard to believe that the one who had been lively and mischievously shouting “Catch me, catch me!” just moments ago had suddenly changed, now fleeing in panic like a lost dog.

Having declined Tianyi’s kindness, both were now quite exhausted. She thought it best to rest quietly and couldn’t bear to trouble Tianyi further.

If Leopold offered sufficiently favorable terms at this moment, even if Long Yu himself remained unmoved, it was uncertain whether his subordinates would stay loyal.

Shen He’s mind raced with many thoughts, but just then, a white figure suddenly fell and blocked his path.

Using true energy, Dao Sui refined the abyssal dark sword. The mark once stamped by Mu Rou Rou had been erased by Mu Rou Rou herself, and Dao Sui easily completed the master recognition. With its current true energy reserves and control skills, it could just barely manifest a sword shadow.

The dozing middle-aged cashier seemed to sense something, twitching his chubby neck in his sleep.

A water cannon fired with overwhelming force. Amid the rumble, the ice layer shattered completely, and the undiminished water cannon shot toward the dragon rider.

This was true in Huaxia and even more so in the American market. Judging by the intensity of competition, the American market was several times, even dozens of times, fiercer than that of Huaxia.

“That has nothing to do with me.” He believed that as long as she held his hand tightly now, they could be together?

“What are you thinking about again?” Luo Chenyang turned back, lightly hooked her nose with his finger, drawing her attention. He noticed she had been daydreaming quite a lot throughout the day.

Fu Chengjue hurriedly climbed off Qin Huan. Qin Huan, hair loose, ran barefoot from the bed to the bathroom.

Luo Xuan leapt into the air, a faint lotus-colored shadow vanishing into the whirlwind wall between two beasts. The Infinite Diagram shot out with a “whoosh,” rushing toward the exploding cloud flower boat ten meters away.

Shi Min worked all day but never saw Shangguan Ao. She didn’t know where he had gone. She wanted to ask but didn’t know in what capacity. In the end, she felt she couldn’t ask at all.

At a patch of coniferous forest halfway up the mountain, Liu Guang targeted the tallest, largest, and densest tree. Lightly tapping her toes, she leapt from branch to branch until she reached a height of forty to fifty meters, then found a sturdy branch and leaned the rose against the trunk.

He Ze had long planned and carefully deployed strategies to the generals. After hearing them, everyone responded in unison, praising He Ze’s brilliant plan.

Perhaps because Liu Guang had not been around during the previous pregnancy, causing Rose to suffer many grievances, this pregnancy had made Rose unusually clingy, fond of acting spoiled and needy. Liu Guang couldn’t bear even a moment apart.

Yi Zhikuo led the Hu soldiers back. Though he hadn’t found Ling Dongwu, he seemed invigorated, as if certain that Ling Dongwu was still alive.

Her hands trembled as she found the spot where she and the man had dug together and hastily buried the item.

After rebirth through fate’s grace, Su Chen possessed cultivation and could travel a thousand miles a day. When teleporting, surveillance couldn’t detect him at all.

Before those in the hall could react, Ye Feng, who had rushed over from the Han family, kicked open the wooden door at the entrance and entered the scene.

“Enough, you don’t need to worry. It’s a wedding between two family heads—if we don’t hold it, it’ll be a laughingstock. Not only must we hold it, but it must be grand. With our current strength and the alliance of two families, can other factions not show up? When that time comes, we’ll take what we can. Consider it your wedding gift,” said the Sea Serpent.

Shi Yongzhen was known for his vast wealth. When he fled overseas back then, he brought along much gold and silver.

The six exchanged relieved glances, all seeing in each other's eyes the joy of surviving a catastrophe. Had they been like the others, they might have been lying on the ground.

Shen Yue heard the faint and steady breathing and looked up. Sister Wan had fallen asleep without her noticing.

The beast seemed to have exhausted much of its innate divine power from repeated use, allowing him to approach it more easily.

Unexpectedly, the one so highly valued by the upper echelons and personally escorted by him was a young man barely in his twenties.

After dinner, she did not leave. She had no other plans today and instead sat chatting with Luo Zhi on the sofa.

“The water fighters all carry long spears, and they have box cannons at their waists. This group’s firepower is probably very strong. Our old foreign cannons, flower sprayers, compared to theirs, are just like fire sticks,” Zhen Sanguan admitted without lying.

Even she, who had seen many handsome men and mingled in society in her previous life, having met Yin Zhen only twice, believed deep down that if this contact continued, she would surely fall in love with Yin Zhen.

Being toyed with by Gu Yan, Liu Jian shouted sharply, “Wave Palm!” Gu Yan did not move. With a kick of his right foot, a burst of true energy shot out, directly deflecting the palm strike.

Time passed without knowing how long until the plane finally prepared to land. Zhou Zimo gently tucked the stray hair from Bai Anran’s forehead, not expecting that such a light touch would awaken her.

It was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He couldn’t believe the result before his eyes—he had actually scored a goal.

This was originally a matter between her and Qi Xinyang; she couldn’t trouble her cousin too much. In her eyes, her cousin was the best brother to her, but precisely because of that, she felt she couldn’t be too willful and bother him with everything.
