Chapter 21

Yu Lingfei knew she had to come clean to Qin Fan before he took the initiative to ask, and then do her best to coax him.

Tang Youran had fallen unconscious shortly after getting into the car, and by the time she woke up, the vehicle was already parked downstairs at Gu Yu’s apartment.

Feng Jue and Ye Yunchu were enjoying lunch together in the school’s cherry blossom grove. Before they could even open their food box, Wu Xiuqing arrived.

The geography of this world differed slightly from later ages; for instance, what were known as jujube trees in the north of the Yellow River in later times were now found to the south. This was likely due to the shifting of the Yellow River, though Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass were originally the same location, merely bearing different names throughout history.

As they set foot on the path toward the Land of Iron, Jun Lin’s youthful voice repeated the song endlessly.

A while later, when she emerged from the bathroom in her nightgown, she saw Gu Yu squatting in front of the television in the living room, earnestly installing the DVD player.

If not for his excellent performance on the examination, he might have been relegated to the third tier. When it came time for official appointments, he saw his fellow successful candidates receiving posts while he remained idle, clearly due to the expectation of bribery.

Zhou Zekai refreshed his Weibo feed and read the latest news with a mocking smile. He hadn’t expected that even after Luo Jing had found his biological sister, these people were still plotting against her. It was the same old tactic—trying to usurp Xia Nuan’s identity. They were certainly dreaming.

The demon did not expect to be kicked and fell to the ground, where Constable Jiang immediately struck with his blade. The creature’s skills were mediocre; it dodged slightly but still took a slash to the shoulder. Enraged, it began to reveal its true form, clawing toward Constable Jiang.

"What agreement do I have with you!" Yang Qian felt her anger rising again. She had realized that in front of this man, all her composure vanished into thin air.

Gu Qingzhou’s expression remained entirely unruffled, his spirit and sword merged into one. His demeanor was transcendent, possessing an indescribable, effortless elegance that formed a captivating charm.

While flying through the air, Chen Zheng suddenly sensed a massive danger approaching, shaking his very soul. In the dim forest ahead, a bloody shadow flashed by. The oppressive, violent aura was suffocating; from within the crimson blur, two rows of ghastly white fangs snapped toward his throat.

Krotokataks agreed with Plintors’ suggestion and immediately passed the order down.

He had not expected Luo Chen to have anticipated this so early. Such long-term foresight and depth of thought were qualities not found in the average martial artist.

This vast space had once been home to many gods, and it was here that Yao Guang was born. Suddenly, he felt as if he had returned home.

During his previous battle with the Great Roc, he had faintly sensed that he was on the verge of breaking through from the fourth to the fifth level of the Sky-Governing Realm, but he was always just a hair’s breadth away.

The next day, Leotychides began reorganizing his troops, tending to the wounded, and transporting supplies, all while keeping a close watch on the enemy’s movements.

Zhuo Yue had spent a long time with Gu Tianxue, and she recognized the voice immediately; it was undoubtedly Gu Tianxue.

In reality, immortals were merely humans who had become more powerful. When they encountered stronger foes, they too could fall, vanish, and succumb to fear.

Half an hour later, they finally reached their destination. When Tiansheng saw the scene before him, he was truly stunned.

The Emperor was slightly taken aback, feeling quite surprised. He had assumed Yun Xiao was seeking an audience in the Golden Hall to discuss her marriage, but he had not expected her to raise such a serious topic.

"Haha." Shen Yaxi tilted her head and laughed. Calming down, she walked lightly toward Master An Yu, stopping close to him.

The only thing he could do now was not to urge Duan Jinrui to do anything, nor to ponder the issues of him staying here away from the imperial court, but to restore his own body to full health so that he would never again cause that man worry or concern.

There was not a sliver of light in the darkness; the two desperate souls could only rely on each other for warmth. That bone-chilling cold spread through their bodies in an instant, yet their hearts remained warm, perhaps? But tomorrow, even that heart might finally die.

As the wife of Premier Lin, Chen Xue did not appear on television very often, but that could not hide her talent. A Ph.D. in history and psychology, she now taught at Yanjing University and the Yanjing National Defense University.

When Zhao Junzi heard that Takagi Junichiro had known all along that he had been scouting the county government hall, he could only awkwardly put his fan away.

His face felt itchy. He raised his hand to scratch it. Just as he pulled his hand away, the itch returned. After a few times, he grew impatient, opened his eyes, and began to curse.

"Sigh—what a pity about last night. Ye Feng is so strong; I really wanted to try it," said one of the sisters who had been accompanying Ye Feng.

One step, two steps, three steps... As I continued to take steps, that "person" drew closer and closer to me. I was so terrified I dared not even blink, staring fixedly ahead.

Xuanyuan Rui pulled the reins, Xiao Yi helped the Emperor onto his horse, and Situ Feng and the guards rushed to the other horses.

Her originally graceful and noble face suddenly sprouted patches of green scales, and thick fur began to grow over her body.

"Long time no see. You look much better, and your spirits are high. Truly, a happy event brings a refreshed spirit," Ding Xiyan said with a smile as he observed the great change in Fang Yanqing.

But watching the determination that filled Mu Nanzi’s clear, clean almond eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Outside, a torrential rain was falling. After exiting the highway, Dong Shuang drove her sports car through puddles and potholes without a second thought. The red car was soon covered in a thick layer of mud. She had completely tossed Dong Sa’s instructions to the back of her mind. By the time she drove into the county seat, the rain had stopped, and the mud on the car had hardened into a crust.

After hearing Bai Qixi’s explanation, Lin Yu nodded in agreement. Given that seven-star wild Pokémon were roaming everywhere in the vicinity, they could pop up at any moment. Consequently, Lin Yu and Bai Qixi had no choice but to conduct their Pokémon training in this familiar spot.
