Volume 1, Chapter 54: Lin Yi and Guk's Gasoline Feast

Leng Mufeng's immense anger instantly dissipated without a trace. He bent down and picked her up. "It turns out this trick of yours hasn't changed at all," he said helplessly, carrying her toward the hospital.

As soon as they entered the basement, it immediately spotted Xuan Linghua sitting dazedly on the ground and the empty bio-capsule standing behind him.

Hearing this, Duan Chen and Feng Kuang's eyes lit up instantly. Compared to quasi-immortal artifacts, everyone cared more about quasi-forbidden spells. Duan Chen was well aware that in the late stages, players competed not only in equipment but also in skills; a vast array of skills formed a formidable individual, and when it came to quasi-forbidden spells, one could never have too many.

Song Yixing could not help but be stunned. Between two people full of scheming, was it necessary to use the simplest and most direct method to test each other?

"Niannian, to you, no matter what we had in the past, does it really not matter if things are like this now?" He Yuhao asked, seeing Leng Yinian treat him with such indifference.

Even with computer-assisted position evaluation, many modern Go players could no longer play well once separated from computers, because they often struggled to accurately calculate the difference in territory between themselves and their opponents! Thus, how could a player who did not even know whether they were leading or falling behind possibly play a good game?

Catching sight of Imperial Concubine Chang's submissive and meek attitude, Huangfu Shuyi could not help feeling a secret trace of astonishment. Jiang Caiping truly had formidable methods; after barely a single night, even someone like Imperial Concubine Chang, who had always been accustomed to throwing her weight around and acting haughtily in the palace, could be trained to be this obedient. They all said that rivers and mountains are easy to change but a person's nature is hard to alter, yet this truly was a case of one thing conquering another.

At such close range, accompanied by a sound akin to a soft sigh, a slender waist swaying nearby, and the lingering fragrance of tea-scented perfume radiating from her, these multiple sensations converged and washed over him, causing a surge of emotional palpitation deep within Xiao Jin's heart while his body tingled with a gentle tickle.

"I am not angry." Right now, Leng Yinian was simply feeling heartbroken. She had never imagined what on earth she ought to do.

Soul attacks between alchemists were completed in the blink of an eye. In just a split second, Long Chen, who in everyone's minds was on the verge of being surrounded and defeated, executed a counter-maneuver and struck down one of his opponents. Such speed was so dazzling that even the spectators below could not react in time with their brains.

"Indeed. In the past, we only handed over fifty percent of the pearls to the clan, but now that has been increased to eighty percent. The remaining twenty percent can barely maintain the expenses of the estate," Tang Quan also voiced considerable grievance regarding this matter.

Do not be fooled by how indifferent this youth appeared right now; it was simply because no divine soul was directly targeting him. Otherwise, his divine soul could have been instantly crushed into that of an idiot, though that ran completely counter to his desires.

Li Yi's return had nearly disrupted Jinhua's plan. However, the Primordial Fierce Beast King was still frantically battering the seal at this moment, and the most urgent priority was to recapture the Xuanwu Token and reinforce the seal anew.

Bao Luo looked at Luo Li and happily ran off to find someone. Luo Li's brain spun at lightning speed; she envisioned melting metal, designing patterns, making molds, and then coin after coin of metal flying out with a pleasant clinking sound.

"What kind of bird is that?" Qing Kou raised a hand to block the dazzling sunlight, gazing far into the distance toward the tower spire.

Luo Li cried out for Rui, frantically trying to pry open the eagle's beak. Unable to spare a moment for explanations, the eagle exerted force, scooped her up in its beak, and spread its wings to take flight. Luo Li flailed her hands and feet, struggling and weeping for Rui.

Furthermore, once Chunyang Street was captured by Wang Yong, the gates of the Suzaku District would essentially be blown wide open, allowing the mad dog Wang Yong to charge into the remaining two streets at any moment—a solid textbook example of being able to advance to attack and retreat to defend.

A sudden surge of suspicion arose in Xing Yue's heart. He cast his gaze toward the other three individuals nearby; they wore the exact same expression, the exact same dullness, their eyes entirely devoid of human warmth. Could they be cyborgs?

"However, how did I hear... that the Emperor already has three princes? What is the meaning of this?" Speaking of this, Su Xiao's eyes burned with the flames of anger, as if awaiting nothing more than an answer from Can Ruo.

"Since everything is more or less settled, let's tidy up and head out. If we delay any longer, that fellow up there might end up slaughtering countless more innocent villagers." After Lin Qingyue gained her enlightenment, Zhuo Tian lost all desire to linger here and hastily made his proposal.

She raised her head to look at the sun; today was another brilliantly sunny day. Involuntarily, she walked toward the house and entered the room where she had previously sat drinking tea. Inside, there were bamboo-woven tables and chairs. The square room contained nothing more than the table, chairs, a low cabinet off to the side, and a set of tea utensils.

The most awkward position fell to the Western Army elite, the Mountain-Crushing Heavy Infantry, who had been left behind in Yunzhou territory by the Chancellor. Led by Xu Jizhou, these twenty thousand heavy infantrymen had been practically driven out of Yunzhou by the North-鎮 (Zhenbei) Army.

Since he did not know Shen Lian, why would Shen Lian show such deep concern for him? It was hard not to connect Shen Lian's promotion in title but stripping of real power with Li Ruyu's appointment to the Jiangqiu Office.

"Impressive! As expected of my master!" Rong Feng hurriedly picked up all the gold beans and packed them into a cloth bag.

In the space of a single breath, imperial Qi surged magnificently. At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, a golden dragon seemed to emerge from Li Ruyu's body, becoming at that moment the sole existence within this entire glacial realm.

Wasn't it just a celebration banquet? Just drop in to show your face and be done with it. Was there any need to make such a grand fuss?

These circumstances were truly tempering Li Ruyu's mastery of worldly affairs and interpersonal relationships. Only by being able to mingle effortlessly with unfamiliar officials could he possess the potential to navigate future court struggles with ease.

Liao Xu even felt that the Liao family's position in Zhao Xi's heart was no longer of paramount, indispensable importance, but rather had become dispensable.

"That's good. I'm leaving." Lian Ya detached herself from Long Ming's embrace and walked toward the dean's office, leaving a trail of lingering fragrance behind for Long Ming.

Could you still use hands stained with the blood of your own brothers to caress the faces of children? Could you still use lips stained with the blood of your kin to kiss your beloved lovers?

"Heh, isn't this place also off-limits to idlers? Let's go. How did you turn into such a fussbudget after just a few days apart?" Zhao Qiurui pulled Zhang Fan along toward the lounge, completely ignoring the gazes of the staff around them.

With a loud crash, Lin Hor looked at the pile of wood splinters before him, his mouth gaping in sheer astonishment. He retracted his left arm, opened his palm, and found that apart from a very slight numbness in his finger bones, there was no discomfort whatsoever.
