Chapter 54

Logically speaking, someone who has died once should have no experience points left, but if they fell to their death from the fourth floor down to the third, then it is hard to say.

This discovery made him feel somewhat discouraged, yet at the same time somewhat relieved, because he was able to recognize his own position early on. Had he continued further down the path of arrogance and self-delusion, he could not imagine what kind of terrible things might have happened.

"Not fully awake yet? Usually by this time you would already be up." Ai Feng's voice came over unhurriedly.

Ever since then, due to his severe injuries, that person never stepped into the political arena again. Not many years later, he passed away from this world.

Jin'er's heart was now ice-cold. Looking at the magistrate's son, Wealthy Man Hu, and Madam Hu laughing and chatting away at the banquet, her mind was in complete turmoil, filled entirely with Madam Hu's words from just moments before.

"I didn't expect that young man practicing demonic arts to actually escape. What a clever and cunning human!" Soul Devourer thought to himself.

Gaya gently stroked the offspring of this sacred unicorn. Norman was already sending continuous signals from within Gaya's spatial bracelet, wishing to communicate with this sacred unicorn, but was stopped by Gaya.

"My husband, wouldn't that be inappropriate!" Jinlian also saw the passerby whose head had been beaten black and blue like a dumpling. Although Wu Zhi was now a Prince Consort and Jinlian a Princess Consort, the two of them still addressed each other just as before—she called him Jinlian, and he called her husband.

As Wang Le pulled out the specially-made military dagger that had been plunged into Yuan Hong's belly, bloody intestines and fragments of internal organs poured out in a rush from the slashed wound, spilling downward from high in the air onto the ground.

Zhao Dakuan was breathing as faintly as a gossamer thread. Whether it was due to the power of his "Primordial Energy" or because he heard this familiar call, he slowly lifted his eyelids.

The flashlight application on the cell phone drained the battery exceptionally fast. With only two bars of power left and on the verge of dying out, I hardened my heart and simply turned it off. Since having vision was equivalent to having none, I might as well walk blindly. Plunging instantly into darkness, my eyes flickered slightly, and the pitch-black void was so absolute I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face.

Kekeke alone possessed the secret skill to hate the sealed moon... as Shangfeng pulled it over, a faint smile on his face, recounting the story of the illusory old Daoist with even greater excitement.

In the second quarter, the game entered a stalemate. Kobe was having an off shooting night, but Howard was firing on all cylinders, making up for the offensive deficiency. Led by the old Tim Duncan, the Spurs remained extremely resilient! The Lakers and the Spurs ended the first half at 45 to 48.

I thought to myself, if we were to charge out like this, the two of us would be vastly outnumbered, and there was an eighty percent chance we wouldn't be able to escape. Suddenly, I couldn't help feeling somewhat puzzled; Dingding had told me to let a ghost possess me and I did, but afterwards, as to what I should do next, there was no further news.

Several pairs of orange-yellow pupils emitted a fierce glow in the darkness. The unique scent of wild beasts and their low, heavy breathing all foretold that a bloody slaughter was about to ensue. "Oh my god! It's a bear, such a huge black bear!" The soldiers yelled in terror.

All these thoughts rushed into my mind as I slid downward. I don't know why, at critical moments, my mind always produced various rational analyses and judgments instead of turning my thoughts to the things and people I cared about most.

Yet precisely because of this, I found it exceptionally strange: why was Ye Leng willing to tell me all this, but unwilling to tell Xia Junfan? Could it be that he wished for Xia Junfan to die?

I pretty much had a good grasp of the following half-year, with only a single lingering doubt: "When did you begin making contact with Gao Cheng?" Almost under Qiu Yuebai's strict surveillance, how had he managed to bypass those sharp eyes and reach an agreement with Gao Cheng?

However, since their father had personally agreed to this demand, there was nothing they could do. They could only pray that no further chaos would break out between the two countries by then.

A beam of light shone in through that opening, and appearing simultaneously in my sight was the face of a man in his forties or fifties.

Deep resentment was revealed in Nezha's words. He was extremely unconvinced and refused to believe that Sun Da possessed such great ability that even a joint effort between himself and Yang Jian could not defeat him. In his heart, he made up his mind that tomorrow, after Sun Da came out of seclusion, he would definitely demand a proper spar.

In this world, even in a vast sea of humanity, even separated by tens of thousands of miles, even amidst every imaginable obstacle, those destined to meet will surely encounter one another. For all these introductions, mutual understandings, and loves are secretly arranged by the netherworld—these are rare meetings bestowed by the god of destiny, and its singular name is "Fate"!

"Do you perhaps have some objection to my decision, Sir Baptiste?" Antonia Doria asked back, looking at the other person with a trace of sarcasm.

"But Huo Ting definitely likes you! I saw the way he looked at you; it was absolute, absolute deepness, far exceeding the way your father looked at me back then!" Mother Zhuang said immediately, then shot a sideways glance at Father Zhuang.

"Weren't you watching all this time just now?" Tang Ning shook off Geoffrey's harassment with a wave of her arm and said with displeasure.

This time was different from the past; the baseline quality of the believers was exceptionally high. There were actually seventy-two Sovereign-tier Divine Kings, among whom ten were Grand Sovereign-tier Divine Kings, and the Creation-tier Three-Life Divine Kings actually totaled up to two thousand five hundred. The Monarch-tier supreme deities beneath them were simply too numerous to count.

Looking at his resolute back, a trace of a satisfied smile finally appeared on Huo Yuanzhen's face. Very well, this incident had allowed him to see through two things. First, Zhuang Qingqing was indeed very important to Huo Lingfeng! Second, Huo Lingfeng was definitely the best candidate to inherit his business.
