Volume 1, Chapter 68: Would My Young Lord Be So Kind as to Escort Me Home?

Twilight spilled through the gauze window nearby, stretching two figures long.
A celadon incense burner on the desk sent up curling wisps of agarwood, yet failed to suppress the stagnant air filling the room.
Song Xianwan’s fingertips resting on the armrest of her chair trembled slightly.
She deliberately turned her head away, her eyes flushing red.

Hearing Tang Bai’s words, Zhenzhu looked at Elijah in surprise. Seeing that he remained silent as if in tacit agreement, she felt a sudden wave of relief in her heart. At present, Zhenzhu’s human nature had not been shut off; she was not in a state devoid of emotion, unable to feel anything, ignorant of heartache, and incapable of fear.

It was only then that Yang Hongsen conceived the idea of recalling Yang Zengxin. Yang Zengxin discovered that the separatist forces throughout the country were being eliminated one by one by Yang Hongsen, and looking across the realm, he realized he had become the next target.

Up to this point, among the three major Northern Expeditionary armies, only Yang Hongsen’s route remained. Sun Yat-sen was extremely dissatisfied with their breach of the agreement, while Yang Hongsen seized the opportunity to pitch the strategy of "pacifying the domestic front before resisting external aggression" to Sun Yat-sen.

"Demon Master, let us go to the main hall of your Demon Master Palace. Since you have gathered all the demon clans above the grand demon level in this North Sea region, would it not be a pity if this Emperor did not show his face? Let us go."

Those working in grassroots public security might be a bit blunt in their speech and actions, but when it truly came to making a decision, they were quite decisive. Therefore, when Wen Baokui encountered such an opportunity, he seized it.

Cao Ben suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking as though they were about to spew fire. As if unable to believe his own ears, he turned his head to look at the fallen Cao Yuanhua.

Tang Jun had appreciated his works long ago and had once admired his talent, but upon seeing his appearance today, he truly did not want to associate his works with the man himself, feeling they were thoroughly mismatched.

"What? You—aren't you a Level 0 Esper?" Misaka Mikado looked at Kiyama Harumi in surprise.

That fellow pulled the trigger once more, and a flea bullet sped toward Ryan. This time, Ryan gently raised his right hand, slightly pinching his middle and ring fingers together, and neatly caught the flea bullet. Only then did the sound of the gunshot finally reach Ryan's ears.

Xiong Sandao, having suffered repeated attacks from Xiao Cheng, had lost his combat capability. His chest was caved in, his face covered in blood and horribly distorted; no one could possibly recognize this man as the notorious Xiong Sandao of the Sacred Beast Forest.

"Bloodlust!" Clay Redtail began casting Bloodlust on all the Tauren. The enlarged Tauren immediately began rampaging back and forth among the Centaurs, completely disregarding them.

"Of course there were, back in the day—blah, blah, blah..." Ke Yiwan joked, purposely uttering lesbian-themed remarks right in front of Sun Jiashi.

He saw through things much more clearly than Pang Dahai. No matter who Zhou Min let go, she would never let Old Wang leave. The reason was simple: who knew whether there were any esoteric mechanisms of the wondrous gates hidden within this main formation? If there were, having an expert like Old Wang would undoubtedly save a great deal of effort; it would be no exaggeration to say that his presence or absence could mean the very difference between success and failure.

While astonished, the members of the Hidden Clan also swiftly transmitted this intelligence back to their respective families, stirring up yet another massive uproar.

Then, even if humans were to master Substance X, wouldn't viruses capable of annihilating Substance X evolve in N different ways?

Zhang Yiyan claimed she was there to help, but in reality, she was completely in the way. She walked over and feigned an attempt to pull Yang Yiyuan up, yet let go time and time again, allowing Yang Yiyuan to hold even tighter to Su Ming and Han Yue.

"Sister Qin's friends are all wonderful and take great care of me. They found people to help me design my style and taught me to learn this and that. So, have I undergone a massive transformation, like a magic trick? During those first few days, I felt I was so earthy I could grow flowers and vegetables, haha." Ke Yiwan laughed with exceptional joy.
