Chapter 58: Different Fates for Similar People

Ning Lu could not accept that Ning Xiang had fallen in love with Lu Sui, and she even went so far as to suspect whether Lu Sui was coercing her.

This meal was anything but enjoyable, yet Ning Lu still accompanied Ning Xiang through it and chatted with her younger sister for a while afterward.

Right at the one-hour mark, Lu Sui knocked on the door to remind Ning Lu that time was up, leaving her with no choice but to depart with lingering reluctance.

Ning Lu took all the cash out of her handbag and offered it to Ning Xiang, but Ning Xiang refused.

Tomorrow is the day the Lord announced the descent of the demonic beasts. Although the territory's residents are already accustomed to the low-level beasts that occasionally appear outside, they dare not lower their guard given how much importance the Lord attaches to it, treating tomorrow just like the monthly demonic beast surge.

He is currently at the third tier of the Spirit Wizard stage, which theoretically allows his abdomen to accommodate nine jade slips and form three strands of true fire. However, when he advanced to the third tier, he relied on the Spirit Wizard Pill and the Twelve Phoenix Styles without swallowing a fire talisman, so he must make up for the missing three. That means carving three jade slips in triplicate based on the second diagram of the Zhurong Atlas.

When encountering a tough defensive battle against shield-bearers, the Mo-dao Battalion would be deployed; but against infantry of this sort, they were simply in their element.

On the other side, Zhang Bao was not idle either. He had Chen Qiao lead the army to pitch camp and prepare to rendezvous with the reinforcements dispatched from Tianshui.

"That is Tian Jin, Young Master Tian, who has a terribly volatile temper. How dare you give him a nickname?" Zhao Jiabao said.

He did not need to rely on the spaceship Galaxy to reach the moon in an instant, though traveling to Neptune and Pluto would still prove somewhat strenuous.

"His investment failed, and he provoked some bigshot, who had him locked away!" Lin Jiao said.

Zhao Jiabao escorted Lin Lang to the door, and after watching him step into the elevator and exchanging goodnights, she closed the door.

Li Mumin glanced at the bloodshot eyeball, noticing a clear reduction in the web of red veins. No doubt, bound by this thread of veins, the monster's life was tethered to it, and looking at the time, it had just reached the Hour of the Boar (9 PM to 11 PM).

After mastering this technique, the human body appears as if clad in golden armor, capable of resisting all external attacks and becoming impervious to blades, weapons, water, and fire, hence its name.

"I will kill them for you!" Xu Liang said immediately, his voice sharp and fierce as a surging tide of murderous intent rose within him.

At this moment, Xiao Xi remained as steadfast as a mountain, gazing calmly at the person before him while listening to the sounds of fierce combat echoing all around.

With that, under Amon's bewildered expression, Mado Akana walked out alone from the defensive formation and headed straight to the spot where the CRC gas canister had fallen. Bending down to pick it up, she flashed a mischievous and malicious smile as she spoke.

"This has more advantages than scale armor, especially against arrows, where the defense is twice as high. Try hacking at it a few times." Li Yu raised his right hand and motioned for him to strike.

Guo Chong's face remained gloomy and silent, for he had anticipated such an outcome. Yet he could not say much; this dispute was expected. What he needed was for Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu to step forward and resolve the matter rather than having to respond to it himself.

Looking up, the endless snow-capped peaks around stretched all the way to the horizon, occasionally merging with the ever-shifting sea of clouds. Stretching as far as the eye could see, the intertwined light and shadow made it truly difficult to tell where the tranquil, motionless patches of clouds ended and the vast expanse of white snow began.

Lin Kun's expression changed drastically. Knowing there was no way he could dodge this punch, he had no choice but to meet it head-on with a desperate, all-or-nothing strike.

Though Ye Shanghan had been in a few relationships, he was conservative by nature, and Su Baicai's intimate gesture in front of Eileen made him somewhat overwhelmed. Subconsciously, he wanted to pull away from Su Baicai, but ultimately he didn't have the heart to do so, since he intended to take responsibility for her.

Lin Jue sneered as he watched him. Guo Kun was still too naive, or rather, too incompetent. He would never amount to anything precisely because he lacked true decisiveness and ruthlessness. Like his royal father, he only dared to entertain thoughts in his heart without ever daring to put them into action, or rather, they entirely lacked any actionable plans.
