Chapter 119: The Succubus and the Brat

The night sky over New York was as deep as spilled ink, sprinkled with glistening stars.

In front of the main gate of the Haya Academy of Thaumaturgy, Bai Yujing and Liu Shuangling arrived with a muffled thud, a shockwave sweeping across the marble floor. They were met by a flurry of camera flashes and the rapid-fire clicking of shutters.

"Mr. Bai, as the first person from the Xia Kingdom invited to lecture at the Haya Academy of Thaumaturgy, what are your thoughts?"

"Mr. Bai, what school of martial arts did you use to defeat the Ankylosaurus?"

These were events of the future. There was no need to let the future disturb his present state of mind; otherwise, it would only breed inner demons and lead him to make disastrous decisions—such as killing Qi Qingluan right now.

Lu Huaimei was furious to the point of collapse. She spotted Xu Cuiying in the courtyard, and upon seeing her, Xu Cuiying dodged away for the first time.

Even if she would no longer be living at the hospital, it was still necessary to prepare some essentials to keep in the dormitory just in case.

Elder Wang Yu stroked his beard, his eyes glimmering with a faint luster. When others questioned him, he merely smiled dismissively, offering no response.

Xie Anfeng and Li Rong both looked displeased, while Xie Yanyan remained calm; her signature move of crushing people with heavy stones was becoming increasingly masterful.

"Qin Luofan, I must find her! I have to ask her about a few things!" Chen Mohan declared firmly.

Ao Bai nodded and bowed in agreement, a flash of cold ruthlessness in his eyes: regardless of whom it was decided upon, if they dared to disobey him, he had his own ways to make them comply.

It seemed these three major factions had joined forces with these King-ranked powerhouses, waiting for him to arrive so they could strike together.

Xu Fenfang had likely already caused a scene at home, and since it had clearly been useless, she had come to find Xue Tang.

Long Yan was in an even worse state than him; he didn't have a single copper coin to his name, and all he had left in his pocket was a half-eaten flatbread.

"Then Brother Mingri-kawa is not allowed to go either! Who knows how that vixen might try to seduce you!" Haruna looked thoroughly displeased.

If he didn't turn back, he would be outplayed; the end result of this exchange would be a one-for-one trade between Karma and Jax. At that point, giving Irelia a shutdown bonus and allowing her to take more turret plates to boost her economy would still be an acceptable outcome.

Just then, the storybook flew out once again, hovering in mid-air to narrate the tale and fill in the details.

The student, whose mindset had been shattered by Qin Xiao's barrage of rhetorical questions, stammered and could not utter a word.

Ning Xia could see that those powerhouses flying in the sky were at least Gold Core cultivators; their formidable strength was beyond imagination.

Tang Sankou spoke, but his mind wasn't on the conversation. He had already spotted several highly toxic herbs and couldn't help but feel greedy, wondering if he should cozy up to Brother Su so he could refine a few sheets of Yama's Decree for everyone's self-defense.

Liu Guoqing looked moved, showering him with thanks, though he didn't forget to turn back and glare viciously at Lin Chen.

As for the possibility of the other party breaking the contract, Sulman was not worried. An E-grade soul-forged straight blade—at most a semi-quasi-D-grade item—though precious, could not compare to the services of a "Contract-Breaker Master."

She then slammed her fist into the chair, causing it to crack with a crunch, with fissures spreading across the seat like a spiderweb.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she opened the door and walked a few steps, she suddenly saw Chi Yanzhou blocking her path.

Having been in the Land of Hot Springs hunting Orochimaru, he was drawn by the chakra of the Ten-Tails and turned his pursuit toward the Land of Rain.

The flavors of braised and stir-fried dishes were quite different, and Fat Tiger was amazed by Su Lingling's culinary skills.

Her mother had raised her to be the premier noble lady of the capital, and thanks to Nan Yuwei's fame, the Marquis of Yuan'an also enjoyed a great deal of prestige.

The streets were filled with rushing ninjas and villagers, their faces a tapestry of anger, sorrow, fear, and other emotions.

After dealing with the private salt trade, the treacherous official Gu finally found the leisure to find Xiao Yu'an and Gu Wanzhao to inquire about the situation.

The cultivation methods of the mortal world might seem to rely simply on popping pills, but looking at every breakthrough Han Li made, the spiritual elixirs and herbs he sought were mostly those that enhanced the body, true essence, or the soul.
