Chapter 27

Unable to fall back asleep, she decided not to force it. She got up, took a shower, and seeing a pack of unopened noodles nearby, she opened it, boiled some water, and cooked herself a meal.

His sense of fashion had clearly improved by more than a few levels; he was dressed in designer labels from head to toe, and a platinum wedding ring adorned his finger.

After the auction concluded, someone led them to the adjacent hall, where the banquet was being held.

I must find Zhuang Shaofei and demand an explanation—or rather, make him give Huo Rou an explanation. We need to have a talk.

Once Deng Biao was completely subdued, Cai Wei’s men dragged him to their leader’s feet.

However, during the Jinling crackdown, it didn’t matter if you were from the Mad Sect or the Money Sect; they were all treated the same and wiped out indiscriminately.

After the beating, Luo Hu and Lu Hui walked over to me. Luo Hu ordered the Eight Great Heavenly Kings to pin me firmly to the ground, then stepped on my chest and cursed me roundly. When he finished, he asked when the other boys in my class would arrive. I told him I didn’t know, so he made me suffer even more.

Zhan Tian and his two companions were unaware of what was happening outside. Once they rushed through the stone wall, they were stunned by the sight before them.

"Hmph! Impossible! Unless you walk over my dead body." Bardalasha’s raspy voice reached Zhan Tian’s ears.

The scene shifted to a short, black mutant conversing with others, who kept mocking it.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, your guess was spot on. It was only later that I learned that 'big fish' was a massive sea creature called a blue whale..." Qin Xiluo said, looking as if he were savoring the memory.

"Fine. Since you won't apologize or offer compensation, then me hitting you shouldn't count as bullying, right?" Only then did a smile curl at the corners of Lin Yu’s lips.

Facing Xiao Shan’s relentless onslaught, A-Dong could only raise his blade to meet it head-on. With a single step forward, he unleashed his red inner energy. It surged through the blade, colliding with Xiao Shan’s fierce attack. As the blades clashed, sparks flew, and their eyes met with icy intensity; this time, they were evenly matched.

"Then stay here and keep watch. With the safety zone’s protection, even I couldn't break through the prison, so I imagine they certainly cannot!" Satan said, looking at Peter with reassurance. Peter nodded, and just then—

"So, did she ever find her grandson?" Auntie Lan asked curiously. Deep down, I also hoped she would find him; after all, he was her only hope.

At this moment, Jiao Zheng suddenly felt he could no longer fathom Su Chen. Every fifth-grade artifact refiner was usually held in such high esteem, worshipped by thousands; why was he like this?

After the banquet, he locked himself in his room and began refining youth-preserving pills and longevity pills. Time slipped away unnoticed, and eventually, his pills were complete.

"This doesn't seem right." Li Caixing hadn't eaten yet, but Chen Guifeng wasn't there, and she wasn't familiar with the man. Besides, he was far too handsome, which made her feel a bit shy.

Lin Feng was instantly frozen in place, and then he watched as Morin pulled a white mouse out of thin air.

Yet, this guy who knew nothing and only relied on brute force somehow had the upper hand against him.

The two sat down, waiting for Liu Yi to state the reserve price. Li Tianfeng could no longer maintain his earlier composure; although he sat quietly, the burning intensity in his eyes was undisguised.

Xu Miao looked at their expressions and understood. These children certainly couldn't accept this all at once, but for them to grow, they had to start planning for themselves. She couldn't be with them forever. If she kept making decisions and managing everything for them, it wouldn't be love—it would be their ruin.

He recalled the conversation he’d had with Principal Guo. The story about the urgent need for a mage had become a trap he’d set for himself. For the sake of the school’s security and the necessity of intimidating the locals, he had to suppress his own fear and anxiety and keep playing the role.

Zhu Dachun had returned so early to ask about the situation; he needed to know what was going on.

"I didn't expect Li Tianfeng to be so powerful. It seems you didn't enter this battle unprepared. Perhaps I really will lose my wager to you after all!" Mu Jianchen said to Han Bingqin, who was standing to the side, smiling.

"My apologies, Brother Li. Due to certain circumstances, I had to change my appearance and voice. I hope you don't mind." Wu Liuqi cupped his hands in a salute.

First, regarding the spell cards, Fang Lang speculated that there was a massive central system responsible for processing signals from the rings worn by all players, which then fed different feedback back to each player based on the specific spell used.

Xiao Chen followed Feng Qi into the Magic Association. The building was indeed like Master Ikasa’s Spirit Eye Tower—it contained a world of its own.

Yu'er thought for a moment, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. As she realized the truth, a wave of sorrow welled up in her heart, and her face turned slightly pale.

Huangfu Ren’s expression was also grim. He hadn't expected Su Guangyan to suddenly change his tactics. This meant Su Guangyan was far from being pushed to his limit; he still had strength in reserve and hidden trump cards.

Lin Xuan unleashed all the wide-range engraving techniques he could muster. One could only see the engraving energy lashing out, felling vast swarms of demonic beasts.

He was left with only one tank and fewer than sixty soldiers. If there were truly many enemies, and they joined forces with the enemy troops he was currently surrounding, his meager forces would be utterly overwhelmed.

"Glad you understand. I’m just playing the part of Jiang Ziya now." Jiang Xue smiled. Having said that, she closed her eyes once more.

By now, the meat was fragrant and sizzling. Squad Leader Yang poured in the washed Chinese cabbage and continued to stir-fry.

Old Man Wang sighed. He didn't linger, turning back to return to the group and discuss how they might cross over.

But the more he learned, the more he realized Meng Liang was truly unfathomable. Whether it was the drills, his suggestion to have the museum preserve the old frigate, or even cultivating vegetables on the island—these were all things he couldn't match. Every single thing he did seemed to help so many people.

Wei Wuqi had wanted to agree immediately, but the final condition made him hesitate. After all, the Wei family was there to hunt for treasure; if they got trapped again because of it and Lin Xuan refused to intervene, he would be helpless.
