Chapter 41 Male, and a Japanese

Xu Chengjun had been back from Jinling for two days already.

Over these past few days, the central topic of discussion among the students at the university had shifted to a German.

Günter Grass.

A pink poster signed "Department of Foreign Languages" had drawn small crowds gathering in front of the bulletin boards of the Chinese Department and the German Teaching and Research Office.

The words "Federal German writer Günter Grass, invited to the university for academic exchanges" were poked and wrinkled by pointing fingers.

And the bracketed description reading "Internationally renowned man of letters" —

At that moment, A-Jun walked in carrying a large basin of braised carp. The fish was topped with a vibrant layer of red tomato sauce, making anyone who looked at it instantly swallow their saliva.

Hearing these words spoken by the people around them, one after another, they truly came to believe that Ji Fulei had married into the royal family because she was pregnant.

A vast surge of spiritual power crushed directly toward Dennis. Between Eunice and Dennis, amethyst crystals abruptly sprouted, swiftly wrapping around Eunice and pulling her toward him.

This must be great love, he thought, smiling to himself. He had never imagined that one day he too could be considered great, giving up everything for the person he loved.

Even so, his expression remained rather unsightly, as if he were reproaching himself for his dereliction of duty.

Bah! The Heavenly Emperor just wanted to spit right into the face of that Divine Venerable who couldn't even recognize the way home! Have you had it that miserable? Have you really?

Do not assume this is done merely to show off. If one is targeted by a wild boar, even if one tries to dodge out of its charging path a bit early, the boar will still alter its direction and rush right at you. In that moment of panic, one becomes all the more vulnerable to attack.

Igli offered no response. This moment was the most critical juncture; she could not afford to be distracted. She knew that if she wanted to completely annihilate the consciousness of this Ancestral Phoenix—even though the opponent was severely fragmented—her winning odds were less than half. Yet she would never give up now. To survive, and to avoid becoming a mere puppet, she had to fight back.

Just earlier while still in the office, Ji Fulei had actually wept as she told Arthur never to speak to her again.

"Okay." She nodded expectantly. She believed that wherever Brother Shiyu said had good food, it must truly be delicious. Thinking of this, her stomach grew even hungrier.

At the mere thought of Li Mi, Gao Jun's mind flashed brightly. Li Mi's intention was naturally to drive him to his death and prevent him from returning to Xizhou, because his current isolated plight was precisely what benefited Li Mi the most.

"A-Adore, I suppose." Though that was what he believed in his heart, the moment the words left his lips, Feng Feiyang still hesitated.

Suren did not pay much attention to the Lord of Earth behind Qiao Cangshanhufu, only glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. After all, the current Lord of Earth looked rather different from his appearance during the War of the Three Clans, and having deliberately restrained his aura to resemble an ordinary person, he indeed lacked presence compared to Qiao Cangshanhufu, who was just about to release a spell.

"Roar..." In the mere dozen seconds Han Dao spent observing, those massive figures had completely stepped out of the shadows of the jungle. Yet, seemingly intimidated by the aura of the two Navy SEALs, they dared not approach too closely, merely letting out low, threatening growls from time to time.

This movement technique was a specific footwork of the Feng family, known as the "Phoenix Dance Steps." Anyone with slightly lower martial prowess would feel dizzy and disoriented after watching it for too long.

It was now the end of the lunar month, filled with a starry sky and no moon. Gao Jun lay down on the bank, listening as Lirong and the Lady Su undressed on the other side of the carriage, whispering softly before stepping into the water.

Yuriko—that was the most overpowered existence in the Empire of the Rising Sun. He had assumed she would only appear much later, but he hadn't expected her to be successfully unlocked right here and now.

This was good news for the Xuanling Sect, as it interrupted Lu Yuan's cultivation progress while simultaneously shattering the alliance of the three factions.

Zen Master Liaokong assumed Yang Tian was trying to renege on his word and sneered coldly, "Do you think this old monk won't subject you to torture?"

A complete chaotic ancient imperial talisman could grant almost anyone, apart from an enlightened supreme being, the ability to resurrect. Now that it had been fractured, its efficacy was severely diminished, yet it was still capable of reviving cultivators below the second tier of the Sendai realm.
