Volume 1, Chapter 67: New Ripples Stir Again
"Is this how you used to deal with the beast tides?" Gong Chenxi's mouth twitched as she looked at the dozens of enormous artificial depressions in the distance.
With no cell phone signal for either her or Lu Jinchen, Ye Wanxing turned and glanced at Lu Jinchen beside her.
Shen Dongling looked at the copper coin sword radiating a golden light. After a moment of thought, she decided not to step forward, walking instead to the side of the vehicle to keep watch for any other approaching zombies.
But now, someone with the medical lineage's heritage had come to Huainan and become an instructor... What did this even mean?
Defying her family's vehement opposition, she chose to stay with him. Yet Ye Li could never have anticipated that on the very day she discovered she was pregnant, that man would suddenly vanish without a trace.
This place was remote and impoverished; outsiders rarely ventured in, and most of the ambitious young people in the town had left to seek their fortunes elsewhere.
Shen Dongling, however, was well aware of Zhang Xujing's intentions. Yet she had long since made up her mind: wherever Zhang Xujing went, she would follow. After all, in this world, there were no longer any truly safe and peaceful havens.
From 2022 to 7090, a span of 5,068 years lay in between—what possible meaning did this timeframe hold, or what had actually happened?
Following her own design, Zhang Zezhen prepared a total of eight dishes—four with meat and four vegetarian—all priced identically. To draw in a larger crowd, she decided to introduce a free-refill service on dishes, ensuring everyone would leave completely full.
After all, with Su He now thrown into the mix as a variable, he would otherwise have been able to enjoy another two leisurely days with the ethereal fish.
Yet, as if to toy with his opponent, he struck out once more, while Ye Biao remained completely motionless.
Liu Shiyan felt a warm breath wash over her face and forehead, inducing a wave of dizziness. Deep inside, she murmured a silent resistance, but before she could utter a sound, a pair of lips heavily sealed her mouth.
The night sky was illuminated by a riot of brilliant colors, allowing even the spirit beasts, far removed from the battle's epicenter, to see the fur of their companions clearly in the glare.
Furthermore, large-scale army engagements were a direct contest of combat power and equipment, an area where Zelgantia held an absolute advantage.
Zuo Lengchan was in high spirits. Seeing Wang Jin kicked flying away so easily, he gave it little thought, assuming Wang Jin was merely all show and no substance, unable to hold his ground after just a few exchanges. Seizing the momentum, he pressed the attack, eager to beat a dog that had fallen into the water.

If he wanted to manage a team in Serie B or Serie A, he would have to keep studying hard and earn the necessary qualifications.
Cazorla's role was primarily that of a linker. Despite his short stature, his linking capability surpassed even Kaká's, delivering much more precise passes. It was simply that Bayern Munich's defense today was remarkably stubborn, making it difficult to find any spaces to tear open, which made Cazorla appear rather ordinary.
"Please don't stand on ceremony. If you hadn't saved my life back then, I'm afraid I would have died in a foreign land long ago," Xiao Quan said, his eyes filled with gratitude.
An elder mage was being watched over by two young mages, looking thoroughly displeased. To him, such treatment was nothing short of humiliation.
A short while later, Hugo had them seated, and Klinsmann was thus introduced to Adriano's big-mouthed agent, Rinaldi.
The venue for this stone-gambling convention was an expansive open area where several fighting rings had been erected. Mortals and demons swarmed about in droves, forming a veritable sea of people.
Without further ado, his orders given, Lü Bu gently nudged his horse's flanks with his heels and cantered out, heading straight for the opposing Xianbei army.
Though Qianhe found it somewhat baffling that his prince's attitude toward the lady doctor was so thoroughly inscrutable, he knew his place well enough not to play the fool by asking probing questions. He simply acknowledged the command with a crisp affirmative, then turned on his heel to attend to his duties.
Shen Yunjing and Su Wanwan watched with eager, hopeful eyes as the Noble Consort drank half the cup of tea, and watched with the exact same eager anticipation as she set the teacup back down.
Thus, he hadn't even noticed when Zhao Jiabao walked over and sat down beside him, nor did he notice that Zhao Jiabao's phone had finally gone quiet.
High-end jewelry customization—breaking into this circle was no easy feat, and leaving it meant never touching this industry again.
"You... why are you helping me? Haven't you always treated me like an enemy..." Lin Lang said.
"This domain can actually suppress my speed." Faced with yet another domain, the Seventh Elder was utterly shocked.
Yet, even so, whether it was the descending firmament, the rising earth, or the five-clawed golden dragon roaring and lunging at him under the force of Yang Que's sword strike, none of it suffered even the slightest trace of damage.
Jiang Yan could roughly guess Shi An's thoughts, so he let the matter drop and did not revisit the conversation that had been left unfinished that day.

Looking closely, he saw that Lizi Xiang had appeared beside him at some point, her head slightly lowered, her face flushed red, seemingly not daring to meet his gaze.
"That..." Lizi Xiang's words were cut short as Wufeng suddenly burst into a dazzling, mesmerizing jade-green glow. The radiance was so intense that it made the two of them squint, standing out with striking prominence in the dark of night.
The villa in Villa Complex Number One had already been arranged. Yu Feng forwarded the supervisor's contact details to Cao Ge.
Lost in these chaotic thoughts, Lizi Xiang walked on for several minutes before a sudden burst of glare broke through the gloom ahead, quite piercing to the eyes.
After Li Shimin finished the introductions, Yang Yun cupped his fists in salute toward Noble Consort Ning—respectful yet composed, proud without a trace of arrogance.
Even several biological species would spontaneously gain sentience over the coming years and decades, becoming rare "wild demons" akin to miraculous manifestations.
Her verbal incantation spells were formidable. While not yet capable of making reality bend instantly to her spoken word, their destructive power was undeniably impressive.
Although the Prince Jin's Estate was heavily guarded, what was her status? Getting rid of a child was still an effortless task for her.
From the moment he recognized Gu Zichen, he simply watched him quietly, his emotions fluctuating in tandem with his own inner tides.
"Judging by your movements, you've become more elusive than ever. Clearly, you had already gone far away with A-Chi, yet you keep showing up over and over again. If that isn't a breakthrough, what is?" Yuan Chu asked with a faint smile.
Mo Jinxi didn't find it strange in the slightest, because the first time he had hung out with Yan Ningbai, the latter had asked the exact same thing. Mo Jinxi simply categorized it as ordinary, caring conversation.
Yan Ningbai was dropped unceremoniously by Yan Huai'an without warning, nearly losing his footing. Hearing Yan Huai'an's words next, he was left utterly stunned by the other's cold ruthlessness.
"Gao Ziran!" Gao Zijian's furious roar echoed from inside the room. "You'd better prepare a report, or else you'll..." The angry voice cut off abruptly. Looking at the open door, Gao Zijian let out a soft sigh.
