Chapter 30

The brief dozen seconds felt as long as a quarter of an hour. The shouting and footsteps outside the house faded, no longer as incessant as before, yet this only made the two of them more nervous. Finally, Quiai completed the barrier, and both let out a sigh of relief, returning to the kitchen to search for any supplies they could carry with them.

That night, Chu Chengyi fell asleep early. When Qin Yan returned to his room, seeing him in a deep slumber, he went to knock on Qingcheng’s door.

Hearing his subordinate’s shout, Fatty Yun’s face immediately lit up with excitement. With a few leaps, he sprinted toward the spot.

There seemed to be a sound inside, and it was a strange one. Could it be...? After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly stepped back and pushed open the private room door.

"Is the Miss Ning you mentioned, Chief, Ning Yue? As far as I know, she should be taking refuge from the flood in the mountain stronghold at this time. I wonder why you ask, Chief?" An Ruiqi asked with a worried and slightly anxious expression.

To think that such a deep poison could be so easily cured. And as far as he knew, his cousin had never had any dealings with Mu Haotian before; why did they suddenly become such close friends? It seemed that during these years at the company, he hadn't truly understood his cousin at all.

Although the eight clones were now practicing eight different types of power, they had previously been cultivating the Eight Great Powers of Heaven and Earth.

"Ten days—that means they haven't been gone for long. Adeline chose the perfect timing." Stan sheathed his sword and folded his arms across his chest.

Perhaps not even the legendary giant of the ancient world, the Pill God, possessed as much good fortune as Lin Hao.

This time, everyone was thoroughly enraged. What a joke! With our Ten Star Lords and Twenty Generals combined, even a master at the second level of Foundation Establishment would have to swallow their pride and face defeat. Who do you think you are?

The soldiers already stationed at the frontier continued to guard the city to prevent the enemy from breaking through the vanguard’s defenses; they had to be prepared for battle at any moment.

"Just dropped by to look around, and learn a bit about the 'enemy situation'," Wen Jingxuan said with a smile in his eyes, his tone laced with mockery.

The cell phone on the bedside table was picked up and put down repeatedly, her face full of hesitation.

Just as the richest person in the world would not care about the thoughts of a beggar, because status has long since decided everything, there is no common language with those who are not up to par. Even if the other party insulted them, they might just smile it off.

With a wave of her hand, Qian Daina exerted a force like ten thousand tons of pressure, pushing Aaron back several yards until he collapsed on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Although this house was worlds apart from her own, Xia Hua remained indifferent. If it isn't yours, why envy it?

Bo Qi might not understand, but as someone who had been through it all, how could the stronghold leader not grasp the subtext in Xia Yun’s words?

After copying ten thousand yuan, Chen Xuyuan stopped messing around, believing this amount was sufficient for his needs.

In the void, Chu He heard voices calling him. The calls grew stronger and more intense, until they suddenly jolted him awake.

I am not that superstitious now, but at the time, I felt so flustered that I didn't even buy groceries and hurried home to check on my grandmother.

Compared to Song Cheng, who left early and returned late with his heart set on the outside world, he focused his attention on his home—perhaps due in part to his health.

This was the suit Yu Xiubai had originally ordered from Adele to wear to the engagement banquet that evening. However, after he received the custom-made set from Tian Xin, he decided to use this one, which he had originally intended for daily wear, for their marriage registration instead.

After eating at a leisurely pace, Lin Jiajia and Lu Pan could not resist Xu Bo’s thick-skinned persistence, and the group went to the Haicheng Amusement Park.

Though he said nothing, Ting Feng immediately realized that the Young Master was displeased.

"What are you afraid of? Just go. Everyone participating in the competition has only been cultivating for about a year, and their cultivation levels are likely similar to yours." Hearing me trying to back out, my Senior Uncle explained the situation of the tournament to me.

As soon as they walked in, they saw Tian Xin and Su Chen seemingly singing their hearts out. This time they were belting out "If You Die, You Must Love," a quintessential song for hyping up the atmosphere in a KTV.

Bi Luo tried to persuade her again, but knowing Du Ruo was determined to get up, she could only go fetch water with a heavy heart to help clean and re-bandage the wound on her forehead.

The ripples caused by the new disciples' tournament gradually faded, and everyone threw themselves into intense and monotonous training.

Suddenly, her waist was tightened, and with a dizzying spin, she was laid onto the soft bed. Almost at the same moment, her hands were tied to the headboard. She tried to move her wrists in disbelief.

Fang Yi walked to Du Xinru’s hospital bed, sat down, and took her hand.

Not having received any insight from Lin Chen, Zhuo Zishan seemed a bit disappointed, but she still led the way upstairs.

"And if you harbor any improper thoughts, don't blame the Landist family for being impolite." Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked. The news they had firmly believed—that Ye Qingyan had passed away—began to waver. Could it be that those were all just rumors?

Yu Shaoyan added, "Dr. Gu is a friend of Chuxiao, which means she is my friend too. You can trust her, don't worry." Dr. Gu: These bodyguards are treating me like a bad person.
