Chapter 26: I’m So Strong

From kindergarten to primary school and then middle school, whenever anyone bullied him, his cousin would be the first to leap to his defense.

In Chen Xing’s eyes, his cousin was no different from his own older sister.

Even after he was taken to Deepwater City, he would spend every winter and summer vacation at her home.

It was only after he got together with Su Qianxue five years ago that the two of them lost contact entirely.

...

The headaches had always been there, but lately they had grown increasingly severe, as though someone were pounding at her skull again and again with a heavy mallet.

“Since I promised the boss I’d help look after you, I think it would be better for me to stay by your side,” Annelotte said coldly.

Under the sensing of their vital energy, Wan Shitong suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood. His expression was utterly listless. This was the second injury he had suffered since stepping onto the dueling platform, and it was countless times worse than the first.

Li Hai shook his head, casting aside these unrealistic thoughts, then darted into the weeds ahead.

Even… the tiniest amount of Dao blood could allow a Calamity Body to break through on the spot, let alone such a quantity as this.

As the waiter finished speaking, Shen Yan and the others had already rounded the corner. There, they saw Xu Jinan sitting in his seat.

The layout of this room was identical to Room 521: two bedrooms and a living room, plus a kitchen and a bathroom. Wang Feng first checked the bedrooms, but found no one. He then searched the kitchen, with the same result. Finally, he strode to the bathroom door and pushed it open.

“You said yourself that this is a bounty mission, boss. By common sense, anyone can complete it. How can you be sure that someone else won’t get to that bear first? What if we make the trip for nothing?” Regnar asked.

But Garlona did not continue speaking. In fact, whenever Number One appeared, Garlona became unusually quiet. That was because she herself was a wandering soul outside the realm of fate, while Number One possessed the ability to see the course of destiny clearly. Thus, Garlona did not dare make too bold a move in Number One’s presence.

As for whether there were any other primary spacetime rifts resembling this one, no one could say.

“Wu Wei, because of your outstanding performance at the last sports meet, the school has decided to have you represent us at the University Town Joint Games. However, according to the event regulations, each participant may compete in only three events. Choose them, and I’ll register you,” Yu Ruoxi said.

The star-destroying warships immediately began converging toward one another, intending to remain in the same direction while keeping their distance from that thing. But it had no intention of giving them the opportunity. At that moment, it launched an attack directly at the nearest star-destroying warship.

When they returned to the government post station, Xu An had also come back. He told Shen Tong that there truly were no idle gangs in Yanbei City. Those gangs relied on protection money and had to be supported by the merchants who ran shops. With the merchants gone, they had no money to collect.

“I say, what exactly are you two putting on?” Zhang Cheng was puzzled, but not particularly curious.

Fu Shihan’s movements froze. He stared at her with blood-red eyes. He knew she had suffered a nightmare, but the person she had turned to for help was not him.

“You only found out after passing Baoding Prefecture? Then sending the news after passing Baoding Prefecture should still be in time,” Yang Jincheng said, his voice growing colder.

For once, Lin Qingzhu even escorted Fang Yi to the road outside the hospital to hail a taxi. She watched him get into one before turning around and walking back into the hospital.

“Ahem. I should have pressed this button just now. I didn’t notice it at the time. Should I press it now?” Yuan Tao glanced at the button beside the head of the bed, his heart pounding.

“All right, I understand. Wait for me a moment.” Fang Yi said this, then hung up, slipping his phone into his pocket.

But Fang Yi’s objective was clear. He had been worrying about how to make money when someone conveniently placed an opportunity right before him. With Sun Xiong’s son, Sun Yi, becoming involved, Fang Yi set his sights on the Big Blade Gang.

In an instant, the soldiers’ expressions stiffened. An icy chill spread slowly from the backs of their necks in every direction.

That would be nothing more than draining the pond to catch the fish and killing the goose for its eggs. He certainly would not do such a thing.

Yu Yao knew how serious the matter was. Though she had questions, this was absolutely not the time to raise them and waste precious seconds.

Xia Shu was not very skilled with computers, and whenever she played, she only ended up as cannon fodder. So Tang Yu accommodated her by playing mobile games instead.

“Ahem! Anyway, everything I say is wrong! I’m done talking. You speak!” Li E was left red-faced by Li Tang’s words. He simply sat down to drink tea, remaining silent.

The teleportation plaza was filled with ceaseless discussion. The formations leading to each cultivation realm flashed without pause, yet countless cultivators were still waiting to depart.

At first, Tang Yu resisted a little. He thought having a towel wrapped around his head looked too feminine; aside from the unavoidable moment at the barbershop, he had never allowed anyone to wrap one around him.

The purpose of the repeated crossbow volleys ahead was to screen the zombies and distinguish first-level zombies from second-level ones.

Li Xin was terrified. She could not believe what she was seeing. She had thought he existed only in her dreams, never imagining that the man with whom she had shared an ambiguous intimacy in those dreams was actually a ghost.

This area was outside the sphere of influence of the Gu family. The land had been purchased by the Sheng family many years ago.

When Consort Hua was favored, she had been simple-minded and prone to rash impulses. Now that she had fallen out of favor, she still had not learned any better. It seemed Uncle Wangdi had spoiled her too much in the past.

Unlike many members of the imperial family, this man did not look down on ordinary people. In his eyes, the common folk were no different from someone of his own exalted status.

“There are also crimson fruits!” Mu Xue ignored Li Mu and was just about to head elsewhere when Li Mu, who had heard her, blurred into motion and flew into the distance. The next moment, he returned with a scarlet fruit in his hand, spiritual energy overflowing from it.

Looking at the four pastries that remained, Hua Shangxue did not stand on ceremony. She wrapped them in a handkerchief, intending to take them home for her little brother to eat at leisure.

“Of course I’ll give you some.” Li Mu felt that he had truly neglected the feelings of his junior brothers and sisters lately. Smiling warmly, he spoke to the six of them.

“Ignorant human, how did you come here?” Ras remained seated upon his throne, questioning him from his lofty position.

Several white falcons soared skyward. Clearly, Sanbao’s direct intrusion into the imperial palace had caught the palace guards completely off guard. But when they realized that the intruder was a powerful expert capable of flying through the air, they all wheeled downward and plunged into the palace’s layered courtyards.

As the sword radiance continued to multiply, the entire arena gradually became veiled in sword light. Even Old Luo seemed to vanish within it.

Seeing the hope shining in Mu Xue’s eyes, how could Li Mu bear to refuse her? He descended, tracing a field of phantoms with one hand to deceive the mortals, and landed in the street. Only then did he dispel the illusion, without attracting anyone’s attention.

Zhao Yan’s face was flushed with blood, and the black hair covering his forehead had darkened to crimson as it slowly receded. Melo saw clearly that a bright-red totem was flashing violently on Zhao Yan’s forehead.
