Chapter 173: Miss Pei

Ten days have passed since defeating the Vajra.

During those ten days, Su Qing took the three girls around Skull Island, seeing countless strange flora and fauna, truly gaining a wave of knowledge.

By the way, the four of them also went on a nice camping trip, which was quite pleasant.

But just like feelings and hobbies, over time they faded, so that morning Su Qing opened the teleportation gate, preparing to send them back to Mei Jian.

"Su, you're not with us

Yan Chun wasn't fully ready yet when Lu Tao directly pulled her into his embrace, her face turning crimson; she was about to say something to him, but she didn't expect that her right hand would be seized by Lu Tao again, raised diagonally upward, while he tweaked her waist with his left hand, causing her to instinctively perform a 360‑degree spin as she had practiced.

Lin Chen allocated the free points, and having reached level 8, he didn't forget to take out the bronze ornament from his backpack and equip it.

"In two days it'll be Christmas; aren't you going to prepare a gift for your significant other?" Li Hong waved his hand, kicked Lu Tao's foot to the side, and asked him.

"Who… who exactly are you?" Zhou Li took a deep breath, his thoughts finally returning; the corner of his eye twitched slightly, he felt inexplicably frightened, his voice trembled a little as he asked.

Everyone in the prison cell nodded; the other side's words were somewhat bizarre—how could both sides of a debate have identical arguments? How could one say something and then refute oneself?

Luo Zhao yuan was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Chen Linlin to have the talent for such long‑winded arguments, and looking around he saw that Wang Xiaoqing and Yan Jin were just as clueless.

"This Invisibility Technique is truly wonderful—it conceals one's form and leaves no trace. If I continue like this, when will I find a chance to slip away smoothly?" Lu Guang secretly estimated, his peripheral vision continually scanning left and right, hoping to notice any abnormality and seize a sliver of escape opportunity.

A single word left Sima Chun speechless; Mengyan's spirit waned as he slowly walked forward. Sima Chun led the horse, closely following behind.

An Yutong, Wang Zhifan, Zhou Yicheng, and Shen Miaoyi stood frozen in place for at least ten minutes, like wooden clay statues; the four of them stared blankly in the direction Ye Cheng had gone, feeling as if they were dreaming— the very Ye Cheng they had always looked down on turned out to be King Ye Dan.

After dealing with Zhu Di, then announcing that he had entered the palace to plot rebellion would naturally be a matter of course.

He dragged the three corpses to the back mountain; Lu Yu had no strength to dig graves for them, so he simply covered them with some random weeds, thinking that in this remote wilderness no one would come by.

Wu Zheng unfolded the picture and saw that, under the inscription 'Full Moon', it depicted the sheer cliff of Lotus Island facing west to east, likely a downward‑looking angle, more comprehensive than the Shui Yan Zang Tu, with some marking symbols but no indication of where the treasure lay.

Hearing Jiao Yuan's words, Mayor Cheng's complexion— you'd see it change; he hadn't expected that, for the people of this place, such a stake wasn't even the final one, and their price could still be raised further.

Hearing such confident words, Ge Jia sneered contemptuously, for he had heard similar remarks many times in the casino, yet each time he ended up losing badly; therefore Ge Jia did not echo Lu Yu's words.

Actually, Liang Hua was just using telekinesis to move objects, but he himself didn't know that; he didn't care how he made things move—as long as they moved, it was fine, like when you pick up a hundred dollars, you don't need to know who dropped it.

Qi Yu turned around and saw a young man in his twenties wearing a military uniform, though lacking a bit of military bearing; behind him followed several similarly young people, and as Qi Yu sized them up, they were likewise sizing him up.
