Chapter 55

Seeing Duan Mucheng still fiddling with his ear even after lying down, looking uncomfortable, Le Xi thought of buying him an ear pick. Duan Mucheng was genuinely moved; he hadn’t expected Le Xi to give such a thoughtful gift. It meant Le Xi had been paying attention to him.

“Thank you, I really needed this.”

Le Xi replied, “I bought it because I knew you needed it—thoughtful, right?”

[Yue: Shameless.]
[Gifts are all about thoughtfulness.]

Recalling what He Mingcheng had told him earlier, Tao Long had agreed to let refugees into Tianling City to seek shelter, indirectly saving the lives of tens of thousands of civilians. This made him view Tao Long with considerable favor.

Hearing Adan’s urging, Shen Tan reluctantly crouched down, muttering under her breath as she moved. Tuo Ba Yun suppressed his shock and weighed the situation: how could a mere ant from the lower realm defeat him—a half-step to the Void-Breaking realm—with just Mountain-Guarding Eight-Star strength? He must have used some treasure to boost his power.

Shen Tan noticed this as well but did not elaborate further; these were trials Bai Sheng had to endure. Just as she made a move, her younger brother, as if he had eyes at the back of his head, suddenly turned and stared at her.

Dust surged, fierce and wild, as massive stones smashed through the ground and all surrounding buildings collapsed inward. The vast altar was deserted, with random items scattered about its stone edge. Those of them with weak cultivation could only bury themselves in arduous training and wait quietly for the other shore flower to bloom.

Sang Que kept the Ghost Bride by his side for precaution. At present, the Ghost Bride was stronger than the Yin Child, but the Yin Child’s potential far exceeded hers.

The guards in the Profound Vein realm were seasoned fighters; they anticipated Mo Xie’s movements and raised their blades to block.

What does “light” mean, or what qualifies as “light”? If one takes this question seriously, it becomes troublesome. Let’s try to introduce it as simply as possible.

While managing the smuggling fleet, Klass had helped Tamil with many shady dealings, even indirectly interacting with the One-Eyed Shark pirates. He vaguely suspected Tamil’s connection with the pirates, but never imagined Tamil would be involved with demons.

The food brought up today didn’t have much variety—summed up, there were only three kinds.

Lin Yang knew Su Daji was confused for the moment and didn’t rush her. After all, as a mortal, it was hard for her to grasp the matter of being separated from her soul.

While waiting, Ian kept busy, continuously strengthening his combat abilities through the card system.

“Captain, I need to purchase a lot of equipment now. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip!” Valudo handed over the list.

Number 18 fell into thought. She was certain that after being modified into a cyborg, she’d never seen normal humans again. This sense of familiarity must have come from before her transformation. Yet, she was sure she’d never interacted with Saiyans.

The Four-Eyed Taoist was surprised; someone had brought wine and food to the Dead Corpses Inn. The corpses couldn’t eat, so the visitor must be here for him. Before the Taoist could ask, Lin Yang spoke up.

Dongfang Mo immediately realized that the teleportation array would have to be used again to leave this place.

What was happening? What was happening? Aishu was sprinting wildly through the streets, his heart pounding harder than ever, blood surging through dilated veins. A strange impulse not his own churned at the depths of his consciousness.

The heart demon of Qian’er’s Prison Chains and her body, frozen like ice, were at last dissolved and melted by the tender affection of a smiling gaze.

Upon hearing the name, the team members’ expressions were both excited and puzzled. What kind of organization was this? They had no clear concept. But they could be certain—it was a blade tip that plunged deep behind enemy lines, striking straight at the enemy’s heart.
