Volume One, Chapter 73: Xia Zhiyuan Drugged Pei Yuan

Pei Yu'an and the others went to the village chief's house. The chief was quite hospitable, slaughtering a chicken to entertain them. Although they'd already eaten, the half-hour walk and the meager meal at Dog Egg's house had left them with renewed appetites.

After dinner, Father Lin and Mother Lin were exhausted, so Chief Yang arranged rooms for them and they went to rest. As for Pei Yu'an, with worries weighing on her mind, she couldn't sleep.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and dashed straight ahead. Ling Yang watched Gu Chen leave, his face showing a helpless expression. He sighed, then sat cross-legged right there, entering a state of cultivation.

After speaking, the young man pointed to the sports car behind him. Wang Yuan could see that the rear of the car had been nearly destroyed by his own collision. What was once a brand new sports car was now unrecognizable, looking utterly miserable.

Suddenly, two screams echoed above. When Sun Fengzhao looked up, he saw Hua Jue and Chu Yunfei in mid-air, for some inexplicable reason arching their backs, shooting toward the towering hundred-foot canyon like meteors racing the moon.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and sprinted off into the distance, vanishing from sight.

“Ruins have their own charm—much more atmosphere! It’s better than here. Watching fights at the mine feels like witnessing prisoners brawling, it ruins the mood completely.” The general’s wife spoke in a coquettish tone, yet her words brooked no contradiction.

These people saw the heavenly lightning appear, descending upon them. Instantly, their expressions changed, each letting out a low growl. Layer upon layer of defense surrounded their bodies, completely enclosing them.

“Absolutely no potion! I refuse to become a mindless puppet, to forget my sister—I want to see her.” Black Eyes clenched her teeth, her longing for her sister Red Eyes pushing aside any thought of using medicine to enhance her strength.

Everyone nodded in agreement, then followed Elder Tianyun as he charged ahead, disappearing into the distance.

This way, the other party would surely intervene to rescue her, and most likely inform the Security Bureau of the Kshatriya Imperial Capital. Meanwhile, the Rakshasa who discovered the alarm would use the opportunity to escape. The rest depended on her own abilities.

Yan Rufeng gazed at Su Luoman with eyes full of admiration, unable to look away. He even blurted out words he’d kept buried deep in his heart.

Lin Xiaoxiao had no objections to the occasional purchase, but with the family’s poor circumstances, eating lavishly every day was intolerable. If you borrow money for food again… well, don’t blame me then.

Totorie, brimming with excitement, planned to begin with the simplest alchemy—potion-making. The first recipe she recalled was for a luminous potion. The ingredients were simple and could be found among ordinary industrial products. Totorie easily gathered the materials from her father’s workshop.

“My heart finds peace where my home is.” On the Xuanwu Continent, she had loved ones she worried about. Only by seeing them well could she be at ease. Thus, the Xuanwu Continent was her true home. She couldn’t bear to leave.

The mournful voice, like a devil’s whisper, chilled Totorie to the bone. Nearby, the men reacted quite differently—some shamefully aroused, and even the self-proclaimed great city manager He Tao’s complexion looked off.

Back at school, Lin Xiaoxiao entered the classroom and indeed saw several students gathered around her seat, chirping away with Su Qingyu. He still wore a faint smile, and from afar, it seemed he mostly nodded or responded politely after others spoke three or four sentences.

Nevertheless, this girl ate twice as much as a normal person every day. Anyone unaware would be startled to hear it—their shock would be perfectly justified.
