Volume 1, Chapter 35: Asking Meng Yuan to Secretly Become the Third Party

"Meng Yuan, I have my responsibilities."

"Oh, go find your responsibilities then! I'm tired and want to rest." Having said that, she truly closed her eyes, refusing to utter another word regardless of what the other person said.

Lester was left with no choice but to wait outside. No sooner had he opened the door than he saw the Dean's assistant.

"Colonel, the Dean would like to see you."

Lester followed him to the Dean's office.

However, it was the Dean of the First Hospital who was inside. There were only two people in the room, and Lester, not a man for beating around the bush, asked him straight out what the matter was.

The Dean seemed hesitant to speak, but finally bit the bullet. "Colonel, you and Miss Meng... are you... what I think you are..."

This meal was quite good. I hadn't eaten for ten days, and seeing such delicious food, I simply couldn't stop. Qiao Siyang kept piling food onto my plate. In the end, they didn't even notice; it was just me, Er Gou, and Yao Qing still eating.

With the Heart-Link Crystal shattered, Mandora fell into deep thought. When she first met Ye Shang, the Mandora flower had bloomed, signifying that her destined love had arrived. Initially, she had been somewhat hesitant, but after spending time together, she felt it was quite good. Ye Shang possessed a strong personal charisma that made her feel willing to draw closer to him.

Seven celestial stars shone simultaneously; the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Spear was now its true self. As I poured my power into it, the dragon on the shaft began to swim slowly around it.

"Crown Prince! That was a gift from Father Emperor; how could you be so... wuu wuu wuu!" Li Tai seized the opportunity to burst into loud sobs.

"If all goes well, we might be able to trap one or two Underworld Kings. Remember, we only fight once. Regardless of the outcome, we must return, because we only have one chance to catch them off guard," Ye Shang reminded everyone.

Just then, the headless ghost, though unseen, could sense human presence through its limbs. It charged toward Sun Wukong, who blocked it with a single swing of his staff, then sent it flying with another blow. It died—just like that, still lingering in the mortal realm. "Today, old Sun will send you to the King of Hell to check in."

It descended from the heavens, drawing a purple streak of light across the high sky, like a purple meteor falling to earth.

However, when I walked out of this canyon, the surrounding scenery suddenly opened up! Originally, the area was surrounded by snow-capped mountains, but after exiting the canyon, it transformed into a flat plain, as if it were a paradise hidden from the world.

I watched as Ma Yong raised his machete and hacked fiercely at his back twice more. By then, the old man had no strength left to resist and lay on the ground howling in pain.

Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing both stepped forward at the same time, their aggressive aura scaring the villagers huddled at the entrance of Peach Blossom Dock into taking two steps back; even Chen Shi and Auntie Liu were terrified.

In a gray, hazy world, as if the chaos had yet to be divided and heaven and earth were one, Ding Jing sat with a doll that looked like a cross between a penguin and a bird. Ding Jing was resting her chin on the doll's head, while the doll was jumping with rage.

Throughout the entire conversation, she kept her spirit projected outward to prevent anyone outside from eavesdropping.

"May I ask for the names of our benefactors?" The five men who had been rescued looked at Wang Fei and the others with gratitude.

In the center of the scorched earth swept by flames, there sat a giant boulder that had survived the explosion.

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, "He is likely doomed. As an emperor, he lacks the ambition to progress, which is truly frustrating. The Great Ming is in such a state, yet he is still thinking about his harem..." Shaking his head, he concluded the day's meeting; he planned to take action in a month.

You tell me, if a mortal wants to trade for an immortal pill from the Supreme Old Lord, what kind of bargaining chip could he possibly have? Therefore, the forces of the two parties would not intersect and could only fight their own battles. Of course, there are those who covet wealth and glory, but that is a different matter entirely.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Your brother-in-law is here to help you. Whatever you want to do, whatever you are willing to do, just tell me, and I will solve it for you."

Logically speaking, a piece of trash who couldn't cultivate should be terrified upon seeing him take this stance; why was he so calm and composed?

Liu Zhenhu, a burly, rough man, squatted in front of a pink claw machine. The sight was incredibly discordant, especially since he was taller than the entire machine when standing.

Tong Xin gave a wry smile, then deleted the text message and scrolled down the screen as if nothing had happened.

She felt that being this busy wasn't good; the original intention of letting her mother open the shop was not to make her suffer.

Qin Yuanheng let out a cold snort and led Gan Shuang out of the camp. With the movements of the Ping City army of the Eastern Chu Dynasty, he, as the commander-in-chief of Huizhou, had to investigate personally.

Suddenly, a group of majestic, cyan wind wolves wreathed in roaring flames appeared out of thin air before their eyes.

Qin Yi showed no mercy to such a beautiful woman when it came to pitting her against others. If other men knew of this, they wouldn't know how to evaluate him: should they say he was impartial, or that he was a terminal case of a "straight-male chauvinist"?

However, Aini Xide showed no panic, smoothly swinging her long sword to the left to parry Snaff's broadsword.

If she had a piece of clothing like this, all the girls and sisters in the mining area would envy her.

The Water Python Ghost was bound by black iron chains and could not move. Old Man Zhao, suddenly seeing Xie Wuyong and Chen Long appear one after another, nearly fainted from fright.

"..." Yi Hang was a bit conflicted. Rationally, he knew he shouldn't, but his sister would be happy to have ice cream when she woke up, and besides... he no longer resisted him as much as before.

Seeing this sentence, Yu Yun felt a bit creeped out. Could Young Master Han already know that she was Duan Qing?

Sure enough, with this makeshift catapult, casualties began to appear among Yan Liang's soldiers, though for a large army, this really didn't amount to much.

The Immeasurable Treasure Mountain was nothing more than a place of business, and trading was indeed its foundation. Those who came were either buying or selling. Meng Xingchen had originally come to see their manager, but upon hearing that the annual Grand Auction was about to be held, he decided to go take a look first.

Ye Chen was just about to explode, but was held back by Zhang Wei, and the person called Tianye was also grabbed and dragged away by his friends.

When they entered the dungeon, everyone logged onto IS. Yu Yun had been using her microphone to ask everyone questions, and when Sikong Han spoke, his voice was transmitted clearly to everyone's ears. The voice channel suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
