Chapter 83: Boom! (1/10, seeking first subscriptions)

Yet, as Lady Qiao drifted deeper into sleep, the effects of the fever medicine caused her to sweat profusely, making her increasingly uncomfortable. In her dazed state, she reached for the air conditioner remote and turned on the cooling.

As soon as those words were spoken, Lin Yue and Wang Fugui shuddered and edged closer to Wang Fan in fear.

With this in mind, Chi Huo blended in among the disciples of the wicked sect. There were so many people here that it was nearly impossible for anyone to notice him.

Ai Suixin could no longer restrain herself; she pulled Ai Suyi aside and briefly, albeit with slight modifications, recounted the events.

He glanced up and saw that Bai Tang, though her expression remained cold, would occasionally cast sidelong glances at her biological mother. A shadow flickered in his eyes, and his brow relaxed.

Ai Suixin was grateful to Rossi for the information. Even though none of what she said could be substantiated or used, at least Ai Suixin now knew that Xu Mengyao disliked cats and dogs.

Back in your hometown, Wen Shilong and his two sons, thanks to the efforts of Officer Li and his team, were found to have hired people to dig wells and rob graves. Due to disagreements over the spoils, the three conspired to murder two hired men from H Province.

Qin Yifeng, having circled the gates of death, cast a glance in the direction where Dahedi departed, yet felt nothing and did nothing. In truth, at this moment, he was incapable of feeling or acting.

“If you like it, that’s all that matters.” Lady Qiao could find nothing else to say, responding with an awkward smile.

Wang Fan was truly speechless. He couldn’t understand why Chen Xue’er’s two remarks caused such a drastic change in Li Shufen.

Amidst the fevered crowd, a tall and heroic Chinese man emerged from the passage. He was the hope of the Timberwolves—Li Qiang.

“Because if I don’t speak the truth I’ve seen, my conscience won’t rest. After all, I am a person of integrity. Conscience can overcome fear and give me courage.” Before I went upstairs, I had already prepared everything, so my answers flowed smoothly.

Shao Yan suddenly furrowed his brows, stared at the Sword Demon before him, and rushed forward. Power surged into his hands, and in a flash, he slashed at the Sword Demon with thunderous force.

Xiang Long replied, “How could that be? At worst, I’ll take you all out for a meal.” With that, he turned and prepared to leave with Rose and the others.

Her mind was clear, but her heart was still trembling with fear—the dream had been too vivid, and she had not heard news of that person for a long time.

Sheng Shiyao kept his body sealed within the ice coffin and guarded it himself. If he could return, there would be plenty of opportunities; Xu Jianglun never noticed him nor kept watch over him. Why, then, was he still only Li Chengjun?

Still, the arrival of Huo Xuetong delighted her, and a tenderness shone in her eyes that even she did not notice.

On the way, she had heard people say the Imperial Preceptor was a sorcerer, deceiving the emperor and bringing disaster to the nation. Yet the person before her seemed nothing but pure and good.

“Leave,” Fuxi said, drawing back slightly. The light from the luminous pearl in the corner shone across his exceptionally handsome face, and in his clear eyes, moonlight seemed to glide by, leaving a faint, cold gleam.

“Master!” No matter how much Luchen prided himself on his dual lives, at this moment he truly felt his heart break. He threw himself into Daoist Mingwei’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably, all restraint gone.

Fins, a long tail covered in large black scales, stirred up stormy waves. The giant water monster bared its razor-sharp teeth, plunged into the water, and disappeared beneath the surface, sending up a torrent.

His hair resembled the tendrils of Mercury, his pupils were golden, and his face looked like a middle-aged man. On either side of his face were organs resembling ears, though it was uncertain if he used them.

Kong Erdog wandered around Bazhou city for most of the day with the strange stone, unsure where to sell it. By chance, he stumbled into the Jade Shop run by Mr. Huang’s son.

Lu Zhenying’s nose tingled, tears threatening to spill, but he held back, stifling any sign of emotion due to his hatred for Pan Yan, Dong Caiqi, and Yu Yazi.

The lively wharf of the day now lay in darkness and silence. Only the wind rattled the ships. Everyone followed Old Six Lai, weaving through deserted streets, heading westward.

“How strange, the bear collapsed so suddenly. And the golden pot—even if damaged, it’s still gold, isn’t it? How could it be worthless?” Hua Guoqing mused.

It was not until dinner that Xu Beiyou slowly awoke from meditation, left his room, and went downstairs to the main hall for a meal.

On the surface, Ling Xin appeared dazed, but inwardly, her emotions had overturned table after table.

“Please speak.” Valiant activated the emergency communication crystal, proving the situation was indeed urgent.

Xiao Chengtian was a martial master, one of the top experts in Qingyun City. Even the release of his aura and pressure could kill weaker martial artists, a truly terrifying force.

“You… you’re a noble!” Lü Weidong fell heavily to the ground, got up, his face pale, filled with shock and fear.

Looking at the unyielding figure bathed in rainbow light, Lin Fenghua finally allowed a faint smile to appear, her tear-filled eyes brimming with pride.

And so, after a year among the rangers, he had picked up a few skills, grown agile and gained some strength, but was still far from matching those truly skilled in martial arts.

Lan Zhendong knew well why Mo Wen had called him out for this private conversation. Upon returning to the private room, he said nothing about what had occurred. Inside, the family resumed their laughter and joy.

However, what surprised Cheng Jinzhou was that some people, knowing there was no salary, still came forward to apply, simply for a meal.

“Enough talk. Get the old man out here and give me an explanation!” A hoarse and cold voice rang out behind the Blood Hand.

“It’s not a threat, old sir. I’m just worried you might act impulsively… For the sake of the Jiang family and Jiang Ming, it’s better to proceed cautiously. What I said just now was merely a friendly warning…” Zhao Chuan spoke coldly.

“Steal your sister? If you three hadn’t been drunk as dogs last night, would we have needed to squeeze onto this lousy bed? Ruoxin and I worked hard to drag you back, spent the whole night, didn’t even have the strength to undress before falling asleep.” Zhang Yao grumbled, throwing off the quilt and getting up with a kick, still wearing yesterday’s clothes.
