Chapter 59: A Deceased Friend Still Alive?
Soon, the even breathing of the little girl could be heard beside his ear.
Ji Shichu held Ying Zhiyao so gently in his arms.
Outside the window, thousands of household lights twinkled.
The little gas tank-like pug also obediently sprawled out in front of them, lazily letting out a yawn.
At this moment, Ji Shichu's heart felt completely full.
The person in his arms was his entire universe.
...
With these thoughts in mind, Tang Feng couldn't help but glance down at Yang Xiaoyun's legs. To his disappointment, however, Yang Xiaoyun was wearing brown trousers this time, eliminating any chance of a repeat of the accidental exposure from before.
Amidst the tit-for-tat maneuvers of both sides, the time reached 14:00 on May 31st. The British vanguard fleet, led by Vice Admiral Beatty, arrived in the waters north of the Horn Reef.
Within the boundless sea of thunder, amidst surging waves of lightning, Zhou Liang leaped straight in and was instantly swallowed by the electrical currents. The Void-Training stage cultivators present were at a loss for words and could only watch in silent awe.
After a brief exchange, they finally learned that the God of War Proud Sword had not long after returning to the Proud Sword Manor left again, only to be ambushed, pursued, and injured halfway. Encountering these villains subsequently and being outmatched, he was captured and brought here. Having been the first to arrive, he had already been trapped here for seven days.
"Xishi" showed no hesitation, pointing disdainfully at Zhuang Hu and saying, "Him? Let him beat me first before he talks." With that, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight. Zhuang Ba shrank back in fear, hiding behind Yu Yueyue. Having tasted the terror of Yu Songyuan, how could he dare to accept a challenge from a member of Yu Xinhe's family?
Seated right in the center of the grand hall were a few disciples, their complexions pale, eyes closed, and speaking not a word. Faint cracks had begun to appear on the Golden Cores hovering above their heads, while a ball of cyan light radiated from Tianfeng's palm, covering their Golden Cores and slowly repairing the fractures upon them.
Approaching the dock at high speed, the group all abandoned the ship to step ashore, only then finding the time to greet one another. Lingyu paid the boat fare, but the boatman collapsed onto the dock, retching dryly with such intensity that he could no longer stand up.
In truth, he had prepared himself for the worst when entering the door, half-expecting that Liu Ruyue might have suffered humiliation at the hands of Xuanyuan Donghao and was now driving herself to suicide.
Master Tianfeng remained completely unconcerned as the white lotus golden lamps surrounding his body spun ceaselessly, repelling all the surrounding forces entirely.
Ruoxuan took a deep breath, her heartbeat accelerating in an instant as the tears at the corners of her eyes defied her control, streaming down in an endless cascade.
"Hmph, her agreeing is her business, but me agreeing is mine. Don't even think about it. No matter who I like, I will never like you, so get this straight: if you harbor any ideas about me, you'd better dismiss them as early as possible!" Aida Yumi warned him.
Glancing briefly at the colossal beast beneath her feet, Tianxin had no intention of entangling with them further and prepared to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Sea-Calming Divine Bead.
"Still, the General's confidante is quite formidable, actually managing to track down their hideout, and she's quite a pretty sight too..." Yelu Yiarong said with a smile.
A moth flew in from the shadows, seeking out the bright light under the delusion that it represented hope. Fully aware that the scorching heat of the lamp could lead to its absolute destruction, it nevertheless flew recklessly toward the flame, hurling itself fiercely against the lamp's glass.
"Hehe, Yanyan, aren't you looking gorgeous today?" Lin Tian pressed down on Lan Yanmei, teasing with a playful smile.
From the moment the evening glow filled the sky with ten thousand rays of light until the moon rode high in the zenith, only when he saw that she could no longer keep her eyelids open did he finally consider himself satisfied.
High up in the sky, a bolt of lightning flashed from a clear blue sky, its furious thunder lingering stubbornly. With the Dark Moon at its center, a blinding, intense light consumed a radius of a hundred zhang, obliterating all lines of sight and making it completely impossible for anyone to know the ultimate outcome of that explosion.
Lin Tian hurriedly closed his eyes, terrified that the overwhelmingly bright light might damage his vision. The man paid Lin Tian no heed, focusing solely on leading the way ahead. Lin Tian kept his eyes shut tight, relying solely on his ears to discern the path from the sound of the other's footsteps.
