Chapter 52

"Big brother, you're here. I can't go to welcome you, I'm sorry." Yu Bai wore a spherical instrument on his head, his body submerged in a massive steel cylinder, blinking at the few of them.

"Another fine general. Given time, he will become a fierce tiger general of our Great Tang." Having completed his mission, Zhang Meng came to Li Ming's side. Seeing him gaze approvingly at Zhuo Junhao, he remarked with deep emotion.

Once out in space, Yi Shuihan released the light-transmitting pyramid and traveled alone once again. However, this time he had no specific destination, which could only be considered interstellar wandering.

At this moment, Ming Zi was already terrified by the sudden fainting of the Second Concubine. Completely forgetting whether Cai Guodong was glaring at her, she threw herself over the Second Concubine and wept incessantly.

The attention of those people had shifted to the "pile of food" behind me. I desperately wanted to pull out a forbidden spell scroll and use it, but Wangyou and the others were standing too scattered, and my companions were right behind me. If I were to use a forbidden spell, I feared even they would be torn to shreds. I could only grip my dagger tightly while preparing a magic spell.

As soon as Qin Murong's procession entered the city gates of Nieliang City, word had already been sent back to the imperial palace, the Prince's Mansion, and even the Tian family.

I do not understand the intentions of the forces of light and dark, but perhaps they simply hoped you would learn resilience and optimism in a mortal world filled with thorns and hardships? They likely hoped that after witnessing all facets of mortal existence, you would achieve complete enlightenment. Unfortunately, this also gave rise to a confusion that should never befall a divine being.

Just imagine, if humanity successfully eradicated its internal vulnerabilities, then with its exuberant reproductive capacity and momentum of development, it would easily surpass the Morgan race. The battlefield situation made it crystal clear to the two divine emperors that humanity had actually concealed such terrifying power without a single trace leaking out—this was simply baffling.

Qinghe received the order and went out to look for Moyun, while Ye Yunshui sat beside Shuhui and watched her sleep.

Before long, Yi Yi shouted loudly from over there, reporting that he had found the large tree stump. Hearing this news, a curious Li Ming hurriedly leaped over and indeed caught sight of the extremely conspicuous stump, which was vastly larger than any of the surrounding tree stumps.

After expressing his gratitude to Lü Su, Wang Yi straightened up, placed his right index finger and thumb into his mouth, and took a deep breath. A sharp whistle issued from his lips, and shortly thereafter, the hillside gradually stirred as numerous dark shadows converged toward Luo Bin's location.

Thus, Bai Feng found himself trapped in a deadlock: either he would have to endure Li the Madman's blade head-on, or he would have to block the arrow descending from the skies.

On the other side, Yuxi was preparing to go to the island. At the pier, she spotted Xu Yue. Xu Yue was carrying a backpack, squatting all alone. Upon seeing Yuxi and the others, her eyes lit up.

Scarcely a few days had passed since the conclusion of the martial arts assessment; how could anyone continuously advance two tiers in such a short time?

Never did she expect to be recognized by someone. In less than half a quarter of an hour, countless suitors swarmed in, directly blocking the entire street.

Yuxi refused to agree, but finally compromised a step further, offering Zhou Lingling only twenty percent. Yuxi threatened her cousin, but her cousin turned around and threatened her right back: if she didn't agree, they would cut off all contact.

Usually, they only received samples sent over by Bai Jiujiu, and after running a comparative test once, production would begin—life was unimaginably comfortable. Now, being abruptly handed a cross-industry project, it would be strange if they harbored no grievances.

This truly was a country with an intensely romantic atmosphere and wonderful ambiance, and blonde hair with blue eyes had always been Bai Jiujiu's favorite appearance.

"All right, you should head back. Remember what I said—don't let anything slip, or all our previous efforts will be wasted." Night lifted his wrist to check the time and urged Li Quan to return.

Yue'er smiled faintly and said nothing more. He knew Tianci was being modest, but he saw it clearly: Tianci was low-key in his conduct and possessed truly vast knowledge, which only served to increase Yue'er's favorable impression of him. Afterwards, Yue'er took Tianci around to sightsee for a while, and time slipped away imperceptibly.

Opening a storefront of one's own, dealing with underworld affairs, and applying what he had learned to benefit the local people—that would be the best path. Once a reputation was established, he could even found his own sect. The more Tianci thought about it, the happier he became, and he simultaneously gained a goal to strive for: making money while doing good deeds to accumulate merit—it was simply wonderful.

"The relationship between us is not something you can understand, even though there are things about you that I cannot fathom either. Strange..." Madam Gao looked at Zhang Taibai's gaze with a hint of puzzlement.

Beneath the flesh and blood, the mysterious fragrance of "karma" exuded the power to drive all living creatures mad.

Natasha was the only one who could not be absent; her role was to gather these unruly and arrogant individuals together.

Many, many years later, Shōwa often wondered if she had not been ultimately crushed by the blow of that initial incident, and if she could have remained just a tiny bit calmer back then, would the outcome later have been different? Would they have stayed together until the end, even if they could not hold hands through life, at least accompanying each other to old age?

In an instant, four figures flashed through Ji Han's mind—those faces of comrades who had repeatedly entrusted their backs to one another.

Yet even if it was a treasure capable of flying out on its own to pierce people, it wouldn't have much destructive power unless it could hit the opponent's eyes.

Gong Qianzhu turned her face away and ignored him. She was already heartbroken enough, yet he was actually making fun of her—how truly infuriating.

However, in the span of that brief moment of distraction, the robot that had been knocked to the ground sprang back up.

Yet at this moment, because the Second Deputy Leader had cast a seductive spell upon herself, she had become abnormal, and her perception of any spatial distortion in the surrounding area was acutely sharp. Relying on her instinctive reaction, she directly launched a palm strike toward the void where Yousuo was located.
