Chapter 35

Although the War Envoy looked from head to toe like a humanoid figure made of blood, the flames in those two eyes, which resembled burning fireballs, flickered almost imperceptibly.
He Xiangtai naturally did not believe Fan Aihua’s words, but he could understand Fan Aihua’s “difficulties.” Merchants were much like officials in that respect: there were many things one had to pretend not to understand, things that could be done but never spoken of.
“Hard to port!” the first mate shouted. The Warrior had reached the farthest point of its patrol and was beginning to turn back toward the harbor along another route. Alyosha’s taut nerves relaxed. Because of the ocean currents, icebergs were unlikely to appear along the return route.
How could Liu Dabao and Huang Yurong dare to get up? They kept their bodies bent low, their ears pricked as they listened for Zhang Shujun’s movements.
With a tremendous boom, the ground a hundred meters east of Xingguang suddenly exploded. Clouds of dust whirled into the sky, and then a broad entrance appeared on Xingguang’s virtual screen.
“If we were traveling at the speed of an ordinary carriage, it would probably take a day and a half. We’re moving faster than that, but once rest stops are taken into account, it will still be about a day and a half,” Ezreal said after thinking for a moment, then turned to Elrique.
Because of Kenneth’s words, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne—who likewise did not wish anyone to disturb his sacred duel—raised the two long spears in his hands once more. It seemed he intended to decide the victor with his next strike.
And now Elrique was deeply saddened—but do not misunderstand. Her sorrow came mainly from the disappointment of making a joke that no one else understood.
When it came to business, Ouyang Meiling conscientiously walked to the seaside, removed her shoes, and stepped into the water, which reached only to her heels. She searched along the shore, picking up brightly colored shells.
Su Tang had been telling the truth. Back then, he had gone to the Demon God Altar merely to greet the great demon gods, including General Yun, before searching for the other demon-armor components. If he had known where Ancestor Luoying was, he certainly would have offered his assistance. But he had no clue at all and could only search slowly. He could not afford to waste time that way.
Once Grandfather had examined the symbols on the chest closely, he discovered that the seemingly chaotic markings carved across it actually followed a definite pattern. After studying them for a while longer, he confirmed that they had been arranged according to the position of the Earth Gate in the Eight Trigrams.
The carriage began moving again, heading toward Red Leaf City. At dusk the following day, it finally entered the city. The streets looked as they always did, with nothing particularly noteworthy in sight, and the Academy Estate had not changed either.
When Fan Chaofeng approached, Fifty Thousand and Sixty Thousand, who had been standing guard beside Madam, immediately bent their knees in greeting.

Although Grandfather disliked Great-Aunt’s tone very much, he could not resist the temptation of Sun Wukong and accepted it.
Against such a shameless person, Qianxue felt that any further words would merely be a waste of breath. It would be better to use thunderous methods and strike directly at the vital point.
She believed that these events must have occurred for a reason; she simply could not yet explain what that reason was.
The entrance to the Tomb of All Gods was extraordinarily wondrous. It looked like a rainbow bridge, radiating the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
“What about the summer clothes the estate had made this year? Didn’t I see you carrying a pile of garments a few days ago? Where are mine?” Wang Tuo craned his neck as he looked over the courtyard wall.
“This thing was originally a single integrated machine. Once you dismantled one part, the whole thing had to be scrapped. Did you forget that its original body was one enormous pair of pincers?” Elise said, pressing a hand to her forehead, utterly speechless.
The scene, whose atmosphere had already been less than pleasant, became even more rigid and tense, to the point of making everyone uncomfortable.
The Golden Phoenix bloodline and the Candle-Spirit Sacred Flame were colliding violently. Under the fierce clash of bloodlines, Feng Lin’s heart meridians had already been injured.
Marcos also held a friendly conversation with Chinese diplomats. The Chinese media reported on it, and it even appeared on the national evening news.
“A man in a black robe? I’ve never heard of anyone like that in the academy. Who exactly is he?” Zhou Qijia frowned, racking his brain without success.
He felt that learning a spell of such unknown origin, and thereby planting an unpredictable hidden danger, was simply not worth it.
That was why the Misty-Night Catfolk had secured him this chance to distinguish himself and earn merit: he was to escort Ye Ying safely to the agreed border location and complete the hostage exchange.
“Master, take care!” Feng Lin bowed toward Elder Ghost’s retreating figure, then left without looking back.

“I’m very sorry, but I cannot fulfill this wish. It exceeds my capabilities,” the Divine Dragon said.
Su Lingyin intended to descend deep beneath the earth, using the thickness of the ground to resist the power of yin and yang while escaping the pressure lock imposed by the Purple Luo Garment.
Even Saihu, lying in the courtyard, had caught the aroma of the food. He lay beside the sofa, wagging his large tail as he waited for his master to toss him a fragrant meaty bone.
That was why he immediately transferred Qi Meibiao to another department, hoping to keep Qi Meizhen out of his sight.
Midnight had passed, yet Wu Song had still not returned. Pan Jinlian grew increasingly anxious. When the hour of the ox arrived, she had even lost the heart for needlework. She went downstairs, pushed open the door, and leaned against the entrance, staring absently toward the end of Purple Stone Street.
Come to think of it, they had actually found at least several dozen structures around the world that resembled buildings from the magical realm.
When the old man in the ornate robes heard Arantir mention Yulan Blairs, the skin on his face twitched twice. He seemed somewhat embarrassed.
“What are you talking about? Why are you laughing like that?” Xia Haoyu had appeared behind us at some point and now walked over with a smile.
As Xia Haoyu spoke, his fingers had already slipped into the warm water. He did not notice the nervous jolt that made me spring upward. Watching his back, I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to confess everything.
In gaming terms, the injury to Lan Li’s right foot was like having a long-duration debuff that continuously drained his health.
“Third, I will not interfere with any part of your personal space. All you have to do is show me the truest version of yourself,” Xia Haoyu said, looking at me with tender affection in his eyes.
