Volume One, Chapter 27: Who Is the Mysterious Expert?

Huo Zhanting leaned against her, taking advantage of the moment. It was fortunate that the road was deserted, or Su Chacha would certainly have pushed him away.

Seeing that Yingyue had not emerged, Xu Bai likely felt his message was too brief, so he added a few more characters.

Without electricity, entering the mall would be futile; she had no way to pay. The immediate priority was to find a place to charge.

Once heated, the particles bonded with the iron might decide to drift off with new partners, abandoning their original bond. Consequently, the iron would be heartlessly left behind, reverting to its pure, elemental state.

This girl had so many scandals surrounding her that it was impossible to distinguish the truth from the fabrications.

Sheng Wanning wore a beige dress, her long hair cascading down. Her skin was as white as jade, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with every glance, smile, and movement.

Just then, several young men with sinister expressions surrounded them. Ye Lingtian calmly watched their approach; those brazen enough to snatch belongings in broad daylight would surely have accomplices.

Jiao Na’s fist suddenly unfolded, her five fingers fanning out like a fan, with one finger jabbing straight toward her forehead.

The stage sets were all handmade, featuring peach blossom trees crafted from wire, their vibrant pink appearance startlingly realistic, once again proving the meaning of "wealth."

Although she had drawn a card, Kurumi frowned upon seeing the new acquisition—it had come at a rather inconvenient time.

Lin Ling was deceived by Ye Chen and remained in her room waiting for his return. Before long, however, news reached the palace that the "Heart-Devouring Demon" had appeared.

Dong Shanhe initially wanted to close his eyes and ignore the matter, but looking at the girl’s innocent expression, he could not harden his heart. He crawled forward inch by inch until he reached her side.

He was, of course, unaware that the outer defenses had been established by the Star Alliance long ago; though reinforced since, they remained average. This grand hall, however, had been personally fortified by Star Tyrant upon his return, serving as the core chamber for high-level discussions, which naturally made it different.

As the distance closed, Lin Ling found herself captivated by her beauty, completely forgetting that she was a romantic rival.

Three bombers flew in formation, sowing the ground with bombs along the line of the Forsaken. The accompanying fighter jets began a sweeping assault on the dense ranks of Forsaken soldiers below.

He needed to observe the soldier’s reactions through constant questioning to determine if anything was being hidden. They were alone in the dimly lit interrogation room, illuminated only by a thick candle on the table. The atmosphere was oppressive, but it was precisely in such an environment that many would spill their deepest secrets.

Locke equipped his polished weapons and shield, then looked back at Chromie, who smiled and gave him a thumbs-up.

According to them, they were the last tribe in the south. Moving further east, there would be no more villages, and soon, they would reach the eastern border.

Just then, a wisp of black mist drifted into the secret chamber and entered Shi Lixuan’s body. The smoking areas of his flesh immediately began to heal.

Kong Ling was overjoyed and happily went to fetch water for Master Qin Su to wash her face, entirely unaware that this decision would ultimately lead to her own ruin.

"Roar!" Huang Tian felt as if his heart were about to explode. If a mere weapon could act with such arrogance, did that mean he was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of its master? Or perhaps, his opponent no longer considered him a rival at all!

"The child is already over four months along. Next week, he will bring a doctor from abroad for you. After the surgery, Duoduo and I will hold our wedding, and I invite you to attend. The date is set for three days after your surgery. It’s a tight schedule, so see to it yourself," Xia Haoyu said calmly, looking at Su Moqian on the hospital bed.

Gao Qing was so terrified he collapsed, scrambling toward the back of the room as eerie, chilling laughter echoed from outside.

The students’ eyes flickered, clearly tempted. With Luo Cheng, Jin Fei, and Yun Shuiyao already taking the lead, they grew even more restless.

Fortunately, he was facing a massive mirror. Chen Zui’s eyes were sharp as an eagle’s, staring intently. Sure enough, his guess was correct; the face reflected in the mirror was indeed Qiao Gang.

Yet the tree remained just a tree; Nie Wei could not detect even a shred of consciousness within it.

The old man looked at Gao Qing with eyes full of suspicion, then nodded in satisfaction; the boy was clearly no ordinary child.

Zhu Sha took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and released both a surge of spiritual energy and several powerful manifestations of his life-spirit. Feeling the brimming power coursing through him, he finally calmed down a little.

If Brother Shao were here, he would surely have come out to meet him. Could he still be at the Earth Temple?

The group of bandits, pinned to the ground and unable to rise, were forced to endure a display of affection in the midst of their wretched situation, their hearts filled with unspoken bitterness.

At first, he was terrified and on the verge of tears, but as he gradually tasted the candy, his eyes lit up.

Where to go, what to do? Faced with a question that concerned their very lives, these soldiers—who had only ever known how to obey orders—were truly ill-equipped to think for themselves.
