Chapter 48: Shopping (Second Update)

“Attention, everyone, turn around and confront the Sword God team.” Wu Feixuan’s eyes were about to burst with anger; he hadn’t expected to encounter Wu Feng here again. Glancing at the humanoid monster, everything became clear.

After many years apart, Bing Meng still radiated the same dazzling beauty as before, and years of holding power had only added a mature charm.

Wu Chenzi said, “On the southern side of White Jade Mountain, there is only one path leading to the summit. Midway up, there is a cave entrance wide enough for two to enter simultaneously. The Jade Orchid resides there. From today, it will be just about half a month until it reaches its thousandth year.” His voice was hollow, devoid of any emotion.

Hearing Luo Tian’s question, Qing Zhu paused to think. Over the past six years, few had come, but some had indeed sought out Luo Tian—namely Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Guang of the Cloud Wolf Iron Cavalry. They had secretly come to warn him after discovering someone was investigating Luo Tian’s identity. Unfortunately, Luo Tian was not present, so they did not meet him.

“Elder Lei Yin, I am already aware of what you said.” Before he could finish, Meng Feng smiled and interrupted.

All of this was orchestrated by Wu Feng and Wu Feixuan; those originally assigned to protect them had done nothing to help.

Qiao Ji hesitated repeatedly, genuinely fearful of acting rashly, and could only clutch his heart and stay close, ready at all times.

The three men possessed only four magical treasures. Zhuo Dongran had the flying spear, Lou Lie wielded the Primordial Sun Ruler, Sun Tang had two: a silver tower and a tricolor flame. Though Du Ziping did not recognize the tricolor flame user, this was a great boon to the Biling Blood Flame.

If the two were biological brothers, the situation was manageable; if not, matters would become dire. Just considering the destructive power of the Magnet King—if he wished to destroy the world and applied Nazi research successfully, this world could be annihilated five or six times over in a single day.

This made Meng Feng scrutinize the middle-aged alchemist carefully.

The truth was just as Li Pengtao had suspected: before he could discipline these rebellious celebrities, someone else had already come to teach him a lesson.

“In the short term, the Moon’s primary value lies in its helium-3 resources. Helium-3 is the essential fuel for starting the nuclear fusion era. Without it, or if it is in short supply, our development will lag behind by decades or even centuries,” Li Menghua replied.

Now Zhao Wuji felt boundless and untroubled, not worried at all that Tang Zhi might refuse. In fact, he hoped Tang Zhi would veto it, so he could gain more freedom, freed from Tang Zhi’s invisible constraints.

“What is there to fear? I have nothing to hide, and I plan to give a lecture here. Let’s go,” Chen Hao said.

“Brother Chen Hao, look at our relationship. Do you think I could also become a martial artist at this advanced martial academy? I only need one quota,” Dong Fenglie suddenly said to Chen Hao.

“That puts my mind at ease. Biyun and you all, I plan to return to the academy in a few days and then perhaps travel around. I’ll be back in time for the Alliance Grand Tournament. Take care, all of you,” Chen Hao said.

Though the Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eye Monster looked terrifying, it had no offensive power. Its tentacles could type on keyboards and operate mice, but they could also transform into data interfaces, directly connecting to digital devices.

Gong Ping had made a fortune outside. Neighbors, relatives, friends, and all levels of officials feasted at the county’s top restaurant, as was proper.

Park Jung-hak finally relaxed. With An Zhong present, the only ones who could rival An Zhong in Korea were Ah Tian, Ah Yi, and Ah Sheng. Ah Tian was absent, Ah Yi was dead, and Ah Sheng had been reassigned. No one dared harm his family.

Inside the fortress’s inner city, the miracle of survival and reversal of fortune brought relief and joy to tens of thousands of imperial soldiers. Their faces glowed with smiles of release, filled with excitement and emotion, some even moved to tears.

“Who dares provoke me? If I don’t deal with you today, I’m not surnamed Li!” Li Kang shouted as he rushed forward to help his father, who had been pushed down and stopped crying, cursing furiously.

The scene was busy; recording was about to begin, leaving no time for idle matters. The matter was temporarily agreed upon, and the phone was pocketed.

The sounds of drums and gongs echoed, attracting surrounding townsfolk who loved a spectacle. They gathered and followed all the way to Cao Qingxue’s home.

Jin Se recognized the move—it was one she had taught. She hadn’t expected he still remembered and had not wasted it.

At his father’s words, Second Young Master He Yuhong suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Though it wasn’t the first time he had heard “losing one’s head,” just hearing the words made his heart tense and filled him with fear.

Though he spoke thus, Qin Moshen hurriedly left that night due to an emergency in the army.

For Chun Xu, if Ziyuan and the others were not found, then fighting this war might lose most of its meaning.

The coin was tossed into the air, flipping as it fell—and on landing, it revealed a human head.

Within the entire Kaihuai Mansion, once luxurious and extravagant, one magnificent house after another collapsed into ruins.

Because this half-demon realm mostly contained traces of half-demon bloodlines—though the mixture was extremely complex—their bodies were undoubtedly far stronger than those of humans.

“How can you be so sure?” Shen Yi looked at me seriously. Though weakened by illness and less fierce, his sharp, hawk-like eyes missed not the slightest hint of doubt.

Xu Yang returned the White Luan’s egg to Bai Yujing, and along with Ning Liner, solemnly thanked Bai Yujing for her help.
