Chapter 36: What Is the Reward?
Yu Ze felt as if his mind were spinning in a hazy, red-hot blur.
Was his sister really this formidable?
What on earth was going on?
Yu Ze cast a probing glance at Yu Zui, who stood beside him.
Observing her younger brother’s bewildered expression, Yu Zui immediately understood his thoughts.
She patted his arm directly. "Get to work first."
"Right." Yu Ze snapped back to reality and immediately began assisting Tang Siyuan and Zheng Hanwen.
"Hello, Master's younger brother."
The person in charge of this spiritual vein was a powerhouse at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. With a grand sweep of his hand, he attempted to claim the black bird as his own.
Regrettably, the formation had been deliberately destroyed by half; it seemed that something had occurred that necessitated such an action.
The sweet scent diffused from the mountaintop. Usually, a fragrance that could travel ten thousand miles would be considered extraordinary, but after Ning Jiang’s special refinement, this scent was potent enough to linger for a million miles.
Beasts like them were far more sensitive to this turtle than humans were; the very bloodline of the creature instilled in them a sense of overwhelming oppression.
Susu was captivated by his striking looks and stood there dazed for a moment; she had never imagined that this scoundrel could wear such a beautiful smile.
Watching the confident look on Hao Tianming’s face, the fear in Mo Di’s heart deepened. The only way out now was to run; there was no other choice! "Ah—!" Mo Di let out a roar and bolted. Someone with leopard genes was truly different; he ran like a gust of wind.
This commotion drew the attention of Lin Mufeng and his three companions. Their gazes shifted in unison to the center of the square, where a brilliant golden light manifested out of thin air.
Strangely enough, as soon as they moved a few dozen paces away, the frozen demons stopped pursuing them. They returned to the entrance of the ice cave and transformed back into ice statues, entering a state of frozen slumber.
Even the most pleasant environment could no longer foster a pleasant mood. Subconsciously, Susu felt that remaining entangled with Cen Biqing in this place was not a good thing.
After speaking, Li Yu drew a handgun from behind his back, disengaged the safety, and charged toward the dark green serpent.
Unfortunately, after scrutinizing Lin Le repeatedly, the man in the Zhongshan suit was surprised to find nothing suspicious about him, which only deepened the man’s suspicions.
Leng Xue finally began to panic. A look of distress appeared on his face, and his hat was gone, revealing short hair and a terrifying scar on his head.
"This... I cannot accept such a reward for no merit. How could I take so much money from your family?" Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head in refusal.
"If you say I can never leave, does that mean I have to stay in Fengdu City for the rest of my life?" I asked her.
Having decided to go to the Arctic Village, we strolled slowly toward the train station. Upon arriving and asking around, we realized we should have gone to the passenger station instead. We took a taxi there, checked the routes, and then hailed another cab back to the hotel to rest.
I sat up abruptly and looked the person over. He was not a living human, nor was he an ordinary wandering soul; his aura was vastly different from that of a ghost, and I couldn't sense a trace of malevolent energy.
I felt a headache coming on, sensing that my future mother-in-law was about to stir up trouble again. However, since she had summoned me, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
"Well struck! Hit him again!" General Python II’s shout shattered the silence among the immortals. The crowd began to chatter and argue, pointing fingers from time to time.
With a loud crack, a solid wood chair shattered into pieces, and Zhang Xiaoliang was pinned to the floor. Gu Changfeng sneered and raised his foot to stomp on Zhang Xiaoliang’s back, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoliang rolled away into the living room. Gu Changfeng let out a howl of pain; it turned out that Zhang Xiaoliang had seized the opportunity to grab a stool leg and strike him hard across the ankle.
