Volume 1 Chapter 38: You Reek of Alcohol, Stay Away from Me

Only the sound of pages turning remained in the room as Qin Xianxian read, utterly absorbed.

“Everyone, how much longer can you hold out? Stop clinging to your delusions!” the Insect Lord declared arrogantly.

When Sun Cheng examined the demon core again, his thoughts began to stir. Since the Fire God Ant Queen could move freely through flames, perhaps if he could control the demon core, it might grant him some ability to evade fire as well.

Changle sat peacefully beside the round table in the room. Four exquisitely crafted stools had been placed around it; there was no need to ask. From their appearance alone, one could tell they had come from the Ning Family Carpentry Workshop—the work of Carpenter Zhao.

Although Dong Yueyue and Lin Yating had both successfully ignited their stars, they had spent too little time cultivating, and their progress was correspondingly slow.

“The military forces in the region are gathering, preparing either to destroy these two monsters or drive them out of the country!” Cheng Guofa added.

Seeing all these reactions, Su Ming immediately thought of the drug that driver had just fed Li Yuanshuang, and suddenly understood what had happened.

Only after entering the underground laboratory did Su Ming discover that it was not nearly as concealed as he had imagined. Instead, the interior was rather spacious, and at a glance he could see quite a number of people in white coats.

What was meant by breaking into scattered units was this: since we had lost the advantage in a direct confrontation, we would wage guerrilla warfare instead. Submit a report every three days; merely sending memorials to the two ministries would be enough to give those officials who loved to seize power a considerable headache.

That was certainly true. Because he had gone to pick up Liu Hongling, she had eaten on the plane while he had not. It had been fine when no one mentioned it, but now that it had come up, he suddenly realized how hungry he was.

At that moment, the vast majority of the people in the square were watching what was happening here. Some used their eyes; even more were probing with their mental power.

They had walked for quite some time on the way there. The four of them ran all the way and reached the cave entrance in less than fifteen minutes.

They stopped beside Bai Xianyu and the other person. As they listened to the song, each of them could not help recalling their homeland, the relatives and friends who lived there, and the companions they had met during their travels as merchants. Their emotions ran deep, and they secretly grieved.

I could not help feeling exasperated. Fortunately, no one else could see these ghostly guards, nor hear them shouting just now. Otherwise, their voices alone would probably have disturbed everyone in the entire building.

Jin Li burst into the room wielding Sui Xu. Chi Yuan pulled Zhao Yu in front of her as a shield, dodging repeatedly. Seizing the opening, the Soul-Seizing Cord shot from Chi Yuan’s sleeve and lunged toward Jin Li like a giant python.

The carriage had been hidden in a thicket, surrounded by dense vegetation. Unless something unexpected happened, the rebel army should not be able to find it.

Bai Xi lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes. At that moment, she wished desperately for a crack in the ground deep enough to swallow her and spare her the present embarrassment.

The sun still hung above the mountaintop. It was clearly still afternoon, yet the slanting light stretched his shadow far behind him.

When he heard Luo Changfeng say that he had come to give her his regards, he felt displeased, as though someone were coveting something he had already set his sights on.

I beat frantically against my chest. Though my heart had yet to settle after the fright, countless questions came rushing into my mind all at once.

“Then it seems the shop does have quite a long history. What was the name of this place again, boss?” I had not noticed the shop’s sign when I entered, so I truly did not know the name of the antique store.

As for Daoist Xuanmiao, the Three Thousand Great Dao were wondrous beyond compare. Their principles evolved into incarnations, which then evolved further into worlds; countless worlds of the Great Dao combined to form a new universe. It was an immense and magnificent realm, one that offered hope of eventually attaining the Divine Luo state. Unfortunately, midway through the process, the people of the Demon God Altar used a treacherous scheme to knock him down in rank, and to this day he had still been unable to advance again.
