Chapter 38: Not Afraid

"The truth is always the most painful!" The parrot flew from his side, landed on the mast, and squawked loudly.

Chen Qiaoshan only then realized that it was already the end of September. With the new semester fast approaching, the military training at various Yanjing universities was drawing to a close.

"Nangong Yuchen! The newly promoted elite student of Star Academy!" As Lu Shijie uttered these words, a thick murderous intent instantly surfaced on his face.

"I’m not sick, it’s just, it’s just..." Wenren Yirou began to fidget, not knowing how to continue.

Zhang Chen searched several pharmacies on the street and found that while ginseng was available, it was at most a hundred years old; millennium-old ginseng was rare and unavailable in these places.

A family of four, under the condemnatory glares of the residents, arrived in Ruxia City, and from that moment, everything changed.

The necromancy spells described by Yate were no different from what "Shut Up" had said, only more detailed. This was the first time Luca had heard the term "Reverse Life."

"You total pervert, didn't you see these Corrupted Crocodiles evolving through cannibalism? If only one of these thousands of Corrupted Crocodiles remains in the end, it will likely evolve into a legendary Level 6 or 7 monster. By then, we’ll probably be eaten by it!" Li Fenfang said, her voice trembling with the threat of tears.

This big boss was none other than Chen Zhicheng, and the young man before him was Fang Shilong, a rising martial arts star from his film company.

Furthermore, Zhang Qiang had a filthy towel stuffed in his mouth and hadn't eaten lunch. These things nauseated him like flies, especially when he saw Ding Gang, who usually feared him, return with his mouth greasy from a meal. His anger was enough to make his lungs explode.

For instance, the one he had just casually produced was likely at least fifty years old. It was far superior to the ones that had grown for only a few years or a decade, and the Spirit-Assisting Pills refined from it were much more potent than before.

Her warm smile, the moment she entered the room, seemed to bathe it in a spring breeze, making one feel indescribably comfortable.

Blood splattered and a sharp, intense pain surged through him. Jiang Liushi’s eyes were filled with disbelief. Pierced through by a sword!?

"This eases our worries. It seems the omen of the Black Fiend should be pinned on this person," Jia Ri said.

He looked toward Shen Mengxiang, and his eyes lit up; it was clear that she had dressed herself with great care.

As Liu Zhichuan and the others entered the interrogation room, they saw Chu Nan leisurely sipping tea, enjoying the highest level of treatment from the police. They all couldn't help but reveal expressions of bittersweet amusement.

Du Xiao was also a seasoned expert; unperturbed by Qi Tong’s momentum, he held his ice sword horizontally and pressed forward. With a trail of freezing cold, it clashed heavily against Qi Tong’s weapon.

Although I wanted to stay and help Matsushima Naoka, I had many things to attend to and it was truly inconvenient to remain. So, I repeatedly urged Matsushima Naoka to protect herself and told her to contact me if there were any issues, promising to rush over to help immediately.

"Sigh!" Hearing the busy signal from the receiver, Xiao Fei felt incredibly frustrated. He thought it would be best to make a trip to Linglong Bay and see what was wrong with that girl, Susan.

"Alright, the killjoy is gone, let’s keep drinking!" Long Wei was clearly quite happy. He conjured a goblet, and the nectar-like wine flowed into Zhou Yun’s mouth once more. It must be said, the wine was truly mellow. In high spirits, Zhou Yun drank three cups in succession.

Therefore, seeing these "low-borns" bleed to nourish the blood-fruits, they felt it was only natural. As for whether they might die from excessive blood loss, what did that have to do with them?

Yu Deshui and Ma Qianli were peeking out from the cabin and witnessed this scene. Both felt a chill run down their spines as they recalled the miserable memory of being soundly thrashed by Bao Tian using martial arts in the bamboo grove of the Imperial Clan Court.

He thought that because he liked the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince must surely like him, so he deliberately set a trap to lure him in. Unfortunately, he was wrong; the Crown Prince had never had any feelings for him, and the perceived affection had all been his own wishful thinking.

He was stunned when he heard it, knowing that his mother hadn't made a single pastry since his father passed away.

Jing Yi frowned slightly. If you like someone, pursue them; if you don't, leave. It’s such a simple matter, so why be so conflicted?

The Duke remained expressionless. Even though his body was overwhelmed by an irresistible pleasure that made him want to sink deep into it, he refused to admit it.

In this rare moment of leisure, Qi Xingyu began to dig into her memories again, hoping to achieve the mission objective through her own abilities. Qi Xingyu felt the difficulty was simply too high; she might as well try harder to excavate her memories, even if it were just a word or two.

The smell of alcohol on him almost made her vomit. She had no idea how much he had drunk to end up passed out at the front door.

Because of her, and because he had promised his mother, the imperial concubine, to take care of her, he had now become a heartless man in the eyes of the common people, someone who had wasted a young woman's best years—a topic for gossip over tea and dinner.

There were many people like Qi Xingyu, but more had already packed up and were standing outside their tents. Apparently, after watching the sunrise, they were ready to head down the mountain.

Seeing this, Yue Longtian hesitated. He had an appointment to meet Li Xiang here; what if she came looking for him while he was gone?

Seeing him come out wearing only his underwear and recalling the sounds he had just heard, Chu Texiong could no longer suppress the anger in his chest. Without a word, he grabbed a dinner knife and charged over.

Luo Yixuan and Luo Yan looked at Ji Ting’s actions, and the siblings exchanged a glance before shaking their heads helplessly.

For the past few days, Chu Texiong clearly felt that his every move was still being monitored, but he couldn't figure out by whom, which made him very uneasy.

With a dragon’s roar that severed the void, purple light erupted beneath the feet of the Profound Dragon Ancestor. In an instant, he lunged forward, sweeping away all the yin soldiers in front of him. He dashed ahead, suddenly overtaking the golden giant dragon, and with a lash of his massive tail, sent dozens of yin soldiers flying.

Seeing her enter, they said coldly, "Due to your three consecutive days of unexcused absence, it is clear you are no longer suited for this job, so we must find someone else to replace you. Here are your belongings and your wages for this period; please check them."

Chi Yue paused, launching a series of attacks with her feet at Ye Junhen’s lower body while her hands struck at the teacup in his hand. She hated how Ye Junhen could remain so calm and ignore her existence.
