35. Unable to Hold Back

Indeed, when he had been in close proximity to Li Luosheng earlier, he had caught that faint, lingering fragrance on her—a scent that seemed to wash away all traces of exhaustion.

Furthermore, it was time to erect a tombstone for Ranran, a ritual that required a proper ceremony, and she needed to be there to witness it.

Tang Xiao’s face flushed a deep crimson, and his expression shifted abruptly. He shoved Feng Junmo’s hand away and, breathing heavily, turned his back to Chu Feiyu.

As soon as these words were spoken, the three firefighters standing before them covered their mouths, though their shaking shoulders betrayed the fact that they were suppressing laughter.

Seeing that they could not easily enter the room while Hu Zeshi stood in their way, Bo Fang and the others exchanged a glance and launched a simultaneous attack. Instantly, sword qi surged from every direction, weaving an increasingly impenetrable net.

However, if they were to ask Uncle Haicheng for help, they would have to be entirely truthful. In that case, they needed to carefully consider how to ensure Uncle Haicheng would keep their secret.

Another Volkswagen swerved, crashing into the railing of the Third Ring Road bridge. The driver, struck by a bullet between the eyes, perished without a sound.

Had Chi Jin not come, Yang Xiuyun certainly wouldn't have worried about Gu Qing; whether Gu Qing wanted to go out or stay home was entirely up to her.

Wu Jianhong now only regretted that the courtyard lacked a back gate; otherwise, she could have slipped away unnoticed.

After He Mintai left, Lin Nan suddenly wore a cheerful expression again, his right hand making a gentle flicking motion, and three silver needles appeared between his fingers.

"No, the elders sent us here and then left. We must hunt enough demonic beasts at the Beast Master level and collect thirty beast cores before we can leave," Huo Ling'er said dejectedly.

Was what Shi Xu said right or wrong? Old Shao often saw on social media how people expressed their pity and grief for certain events and for the innocent who had perished. Yet, behind every one of those flickering candles, there likely lay a cold, indifferent face. In the internet age, grief and sympathy seem to have become luxuries.

He first pulled out his phone, only to find it wouldn't turn on. He then tried to flip the switch for the dormitory’s incandescent light, but there was no response.

Da Yue seemed reluctant to bring up those painful memories; since he was unwilling to speak, I could not force him.

He fought side-by-side with Liu Zihan. Although they were merely comrades-in-arms, he still had no desire to witness the tragedy of a painful parting.

The phantom of Ye gradually dissipated. Lin Xue and his own phantom, acting as Ye’s true self, attacked together. This two-on-one tactic was highly effective, forcing him into a pincer attack. Coupled with Lin Xue’s exquisite swordsmanship, they could surely defeat Ye in one stroke.

"How is this possible?!" Gui Sen was completely stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief. At that moment, Cheng Daoling raised his hand and struck the fake Qin Yu, sending him flying. The figure’s appearance began to shift rapidly.

Even Big Bear, the most formidable fighter among them, had been knocked out by Chen Hao in a single blow; how could a weakling like him possibly stand a chance against Chen Hao?

Zhuang Jian had only briefly introduced Li Qiang, and Yang Dali still didn't quite understand the situation. Seeing him talk on and on, he turned his head toward Zhuang Jian, looking puzzled.

The next second, the giant phantom swung a massive Dark Judgment sword downward, and a powerful pressure descended heavily from mid-air.

Hearing this answer, Xu Shuo truly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had caused Miao Zhen to go hungry because he had spent all her money, he wouldn't have been able to take another bite of the meal.

"Die." Wu Jian pounded forward with his blade. Ordinarily, he might have unleashed a blade aura spanning dozens of yards, but under the suppression of the thick, lingering bloodlust in the air, it stopped abruptly after only a few yards.

Shan Yan and the two others had limited vision and could not see the situation outside the balcony, but Ling Xun could see it very clearly.

From that day on, everyone in the Chen household noticed the change in their young master.

Given Guanyin's unfathomable strength, killing him would have been a matter of mere seconds.

Xue Niu waved his hand, and a phantom map of the Golden Emperor Territory manifested in the air, marked with red dots indicating the locations of the Jin family’s shops and marketplaces. He assigned tasks to the various Xue Niu Guards and Xue Luan Guards to cause trouble for the Jin family, just as Su Qian had requested.

Yu Xia stopped and stepped aside. Xie Qingci pulled over a stool and placed it near her legs; no sooner had she sat down than he handed her a bottle of water.

While Ku Xia and Yu Erlin chatted with Gao Dali and the others, Yu Silin went off with the lead officer to interrogate the bandits.

As someone bombarded by information in the modern era, Ku Xia recognized at a glance that this tool was likely the legendary Luoyang shovel, also known as a probe shovel. She simply hadn't expected to find a Luoyang shovel in this world, especially since they hadn't appeared in her own world until the 20th century.

Something seemed wrong... A doubt flashed through Ling Xun’s mind. Just then, Director Jian walked over and announced that it was their vehicle’s turn to work.

When she grew up, the Yu Xuan brother she loved didn't love her back, yet she had foolishly married him, hoping to move him with her sincerity, only to be met with cold indifference.

The model, having put her clothes back on, looked at his unique workbench, circled around to inspect the two glass-fiber limbs, and even took a photo with her phone before leaving.

Gong Yixin’s face was covered by a white veil, so her expression was hidden, but a flicker of cold light could be seen in her eyes.

For so many years, his heart had been heavy with suppression. Without Fangfei by his side, Yu Xuan’s world had been dark.

After confirming that this technology possessed the power to reshape the global communications market, what awaited Eric was not honor, but plunder.

"Let’s go find the Nanshan Tree Demon. As long as we find the Young Demon King, I can basically handle him; saving Ziteng won't be a problem," Chen Zile said.

But Yu Xuan was calm today. Watching Zhang Meng make a scene, he told himself that no matter what, he would not lead Fangfei away from here. He wanted to give Fangfei peace of mind, to make her feel that this was their home and that he, Yu Xuan, was the one in charge.

At the same time, a white figure suddenly dashed out from the second-floor window toward the young Taoist in the courtyard below.

Rest assured, I know what I must do next. No matter what he says, I will not believe him.

Shu Qianqian gasped in shock. The rewards mentioned earlier had already stunned her, but she hadn't expected the ones to follow to be even more enticing.
