Chapter 37: Disappearance

Mu Anyan’s heart tightened, an instant wave of unease washing over him. "No."

The woman on the other end became even more agitated. "Do you think she’s still holding a grudge because of our argument the other day? Is it really necessary? She’s a grown woman; acting like this over such a trivial matter, she never lets me have a moment’s peace."

Mu Anyan didn’t waste any more breath on her. "I’ll get in touch with her first..."

Luo Nan stepped forward and, with lightning speed, wrapped his arms around Tian Jingmei from behind. As she settled into his embrace, soft and fragrant, he felt his heart leap into his throat, leaving him dazed and adrift, as if trapped in a dream.

Ghosts are a type of undead, possessing form but no substance, much like the spirits found in legends on Earth.

Luo Nan withdrew his gaze after a single glance, and only then was Zeng Youlin able to move, discovering that in those few short seconds, his back had already been drenched in sweat.

She called Wan Zhiwei to ask his whereabouts, telling him that Yun Muyu wanted to meet. Wan Zhiwei was naturally overjoyed and agreed immediately, even suggesting they dine at a high-end restaurant to talk and catch up.

The tip of the spear collided with the base of the blood coffin. A massive recoil force left Zhan Xing’s chest feeling stifled, and with a sharp "crack," the spearhead shattered into pieces.

Su Linglu truly felt that it would be a great pity if Yue Yi were to resign just like that.

"Fine, believe it or not, it doesn’t matter—as long as I believe it! What’s going on down there? Does anyone know?" Chen Cheng shouted; if he didn’t speak at the top of his lungs, no one would be able to hear him.

"Liu Yi, are you planning to enter the Immortal Palace first?" Hao Cailian asked, sitting nearby and watching him. As soon as she spoke, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Yi. Given his status, he was certainly the person with the most Jade Codes in the academy, and everyone present wanted to know what he intended to do.

He couldn’t help but marvel; the house looked ordinary from the outside, no different from any other, but inside, it was a labyrinth of twists and turns. If someone unfamiliar with the layout were to break in, it wouldn’t be surprising if they got lost and died in some forgotten corner.

Yet Yang Xin had saved them all... None of these events had been within her expectations, leaving her utterly exhausted.

Seeing Wang Ying appear, the masters of the Yuanyang Sacred Sect bowed to him one after another, offering their congratulations.

Xie Dongya drifted into the air, looking down at the crowd below and fixing his gaze on the Old Monster with a meaningful smile.

His fingertips pinched the corner of the quilt, and she looked up at him with her head slightly tilted, showing no trace of the drowsiness typical of someone just waking from sleep.

Before the truth came to light, he could still deceive himself, but now that everything was laid bare before him, how could he not feel the agony in his heart?

It was thanks to Yan Qing’s kind reminder that Lou Yi had left most of his people on the outskirts of the Mingtang Palace, bringing only Li Ying, Chai Jin, and Yan Qing with him to this place.

Ye Ying was deeply worried about her elderly father. From the moment she was driven out of the tower, her brows had been knitted together, and they had yet to relax.

Wang Ying sat leisurely in the grand armchair behind him, crossing his legs as he slowly waited for Xiong Batian to wake up.

"No time, I’m eating. Go play by yourself if you want to," the boy mumbled, his words slurred.

Finally, the cry of an infant rang out. An attendant hurried to present the baby to Panshi.

Qin Tian smiled. Although he was capable of creating his own martial arts techniques, he had never considered developing footwork.

Ye Tian was lost in a hazy blur. Within his body, his meridians performed repetitive, mechanical cycles, absorbing the essence of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit into his dantian and transforming it into baleful energy. That energy did not linger in his dantian for long before it began to flow once more toward the Earth Essence within Ye Tian’s belly.
