Chapter 56: Huo Jiamai Leaves Home

Having bought some preserved fruits, snacks, and malted milk, Ruan Tang spotted a doll for sale and waved her hand grandly to purchase it right away. Carrying the items, she attracted many envious gazes from passersby. Finding the load too heavy, Ruan Tang passed it over to Huo Yansiu to carry.

Huo Yansiu carried the bundles and led Ruan Tang outside. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a suspicious man lingering near the motorcycle with malicious intent. Ruan Tang's eyelids twitched, and she immediately snatched the items back from Huo Yansiu's hands. Huo Yansiu's expression darkened in response: "What are you doing?"

Just as he finished speaking, the door curtain was lifted, and the Prince of Zhenbei, Tuoba Hong, and the Heir, Tuoba Jin, walked in one after the other. Neither of their expressions looked particularly pleasant.

However, Yinzhan had no spare mind to figure out what was going on. At this moment, a cluster of black mist had emerged within the ruins, wreathed in demonic energy. It spun around the ruins like a giant coal ball, whipping up fierce gales that swept across the surroundings and made it impossible for anyone to approach.

Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, could not afford to care about the two before her. She always required complete concentration when drawing talismans; how much the two of them could learn by watching her was entirely dependent on their own abilities.

Guangxi was momentarily stunned. The Hour of Chen? There was only a quarter of an hour left until the Hour of Chen! Coming back to his senses, he immediately went down to issue instructions.

Slinging his backpack over his shoulders, Bu Xu found the bamboo ladder at home, rummaged out some tools, shouldered and carried them out of the door, locked the gate tightly, and muttered angrily as he headed toward the back wall.

Chu Xuan suddenly felt a pang of guilt. This matter shouldn't have been blurted out, but in a sudden flash of impulse, he had forgotten what Chuchu had told him.

"Naturally, I will not go back on my word!" Yelin's tone was gentle, yet it carried an indescribable firmness and confidence.

Yu Xin could not see anything around her. She was terrified; the moment she crashed to the ground, she even forgot the pain, feeling only an inexplicable panic toward the pitch-black surroundings around her.

This single, simple sentence completely shattered the last shred of sympathy Geling held for her. With such a competitive and aggressive nature, she would never be able to attain the status of a mother to the nation, nor could she bear the responsibility of a role model for the inner palace.

Although the ingredients were somewhat inferior, Imperial Chef Li's culinary skills were truly top-notch. The dishes never repeated, and Chi Shuyan, eating for the second time just now, felt as though she were about to swallow her tongue. She was extremely satisfied with having casually stumbled upon a royal imperial chef.

As that ceremonial tablet was suspended high in the sky, crimson rays of light could be seen scattering in all directions, permeating the plaza in front of the grand hall. Amidst the crimson glow, the sorrowful wails and cries of wronged souls could be faintly heard.

In this AFC Champions League campaign, the Faith Value he could acquire would already exceed one hundred million points, and this was precisely his primary reason for participating in the AFC Champions League.

In fact, Su Rui had never trained proactively. If morning jogs counted as training, then that was something he did quite often.

Just as Gu Yu and his party were leaving Chang Kongzhi's airport, the media outside had already spread the news, and the entire world was in an uproar.

However, Kunbi Qi's intestines were turning green with regret now. Had he known that Zhang Quyi was so terrifying, he would never have dared to provoke him.

Sun Yan's speed suddenly decreased, and his swimming rhythm was also disrupted. This did not look like physical exhaustion failing to sustain his speed; rather, it looked as though a sudden physical problem had caused his rhythm to fall apart.

At this moment, there was only one Japanese competitor ahead of Su Rui. As long as he overtook this competitor, the Zhen Kingdom team could claim first place. The distance between him and the Japanese athlete was still quite significant, and catching up would be no easy task.

Seeing this posture of his, Young Master Qian hurriedly shouted loudly at him: "Hey, hey, don't act recklessly! If you want to kill someone, kill me first!"

According to Liu Zong's judgment, the two options for Martial Affinity were either enhancing combat with polearms or reinforcing a dematerialized, ethereal body. As for the two options for Mana Affinity, one was enhancing the abilities of soul extraction and soul detention, while the other was reinforcing abilities akin to a fatal, one-hit-kill Finger of Death.

The parlor instantly fell into an awkward silence. Madam Chen rubbed her temples, while Nurse Hu lowered her head with a flushed face.

Yet, no matter how they discussed it, they always felt something was missing, because neither Xialan Qing nor Ye Shen belonged to this world.
