Chapter 438

“Hiss!” The sword aura was sharp, golden light flickering—Hua Diao had not expected Jin Yi to still be so formidable after being wounded; it instantly recoiled, its black outer robe shredding and flying apart, revealing its sharp beak and glowing emerald eyes, staring at Jin Yi in surprise.

Then he recounted to Duan Ke all the mission intelligence and every detail relevant to a spy’s needs.

“Maybe she’s sick—I’m not allowed to be sick, but I need a reason far more upright than hers.” Using illness to win sympathy—such an old trick, yet always effective. Gu Yuqing never intended to do this, but since the Second Young Lady was going to play this game, she was willing to play along once.

Bian’s Jiao Yiqiu and Ao Xushan naturally echoed loudly, their laughter blending into one continuous wave.

By harnessing the power of heaven and earth, becoming one with them—who could possibly stand against such a being? Throughout history, countless extraordinary individuals have appeared, yet who dared to fight heaven, fight earth?

All eyes turned toward it, and under the torchlight, due to the man’s excessive nervousness, a small flame had leapt onto the tree trunk. The surface of Xue Feng began to shift, trembling slightly, resembling the first stirrings of a living thing waking from sleep.

“Hehehe… Huan’er, just say what you want!” No wonder she was the Empress Dowager—she guessed Zi Han’s thoughts at once.

As long as this “wish” could be fulfilled, even if the rest of her life meant enduring hardship with the man she loved, she would do so willingly.

The mechanism to stop and start the wheelchair was nearly identical—both required magical control. But Su Shan was an ordinary person who couldn’t use magic—what could she do?

This was a soldier’s promise to another soldier, and a true man’s vow to another man.

Although she had been to this hotel, extravagantly decorated by Liang Yan, before, the interior decorations still struck her with awe—just the dining area on the first floor was packed, with some even waiting in line for an empty seat.

Everything in the world follows cycles, slowly moving forward with time—you must live to witness it all. On the wheel of reincarnation, no one is guilty; everyone wants to live well, some with companions, some alone, some wishing to live, some wishing to die—so many things happen, so why give up? As long as it’s not too late, nothing matters.

In contrast, Ye Hua, the Second Place Top Graduate, remained as usual, utterly unaffected. Ye Zhen traced the intricate patterns on her teacup, the uneven texture making her stare blankly into space.

To be honest, she hadn’t accepted Yang Jiahua yet—she merely thought he was a good man, worth trying. Deep inside, Lu Xi’s shadow still lingered; she still missed those times, missed that clean, gentle boy who had dazzled her entire youth.

He seemed not to hear, frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the distance, filled with loneliness.

“I want more.” You Ruo tossed the fish, now reduced to bones, and fixed her large eyes on Xia Biyao.

Yuanqi radiated from Shen Jun’s body, snapping Hua Meng’s hair. Shen Jun kicked his short blade, sending it slicing toward Hua Meng’s thigh. Hua Meng lifted her foot, using the sole of her black shoe to kick the blade’s back—force from her foot twisted the blade, driving it straight toward Shen Jun.

Because the Spirit Bird suddenly changed direction, Xia Biyao nearly fell, frantically clutching You Ruo’s waist and pressing against her back; a faint, sweet fragrance drifted from You Ruo’s hair—she had never smelled anything like it before.

Shen Jun had gone completely mad—he grabbed Li Wei’s collar and slashed again, piercing his body. He yanked the blade free, a spray of blood spilling as Li Wei collapsed, lifeless.

As for Jiao Wang, he had always been mysterious; no one present could discern his origins, not even whether he was a Da Luo, or even a higher Zun Sheng.

“Hmm… let me think—we must have something we’re supposed to be doing.” After such a long scene with Jin Xuan’er, Xuan Bin fully proved himself an excellent partner—just one glance, and he fully understood Jin Xuan’er’s intent.

Ming Nan’s bloodthirsty eyes watched Gao Tian step slowly toward the rest area, gently pulling Yu Lu into his arms, one hand stroking her back to soothe her emotions.

“I—I didn’t say anything!” An Chengyou quickly looked up, gathering courage to face He Zhiyuan’s terrible expression, explaining.

Could it be that she was using the Void Black Smoke to support her form, allowing her to fly through the air?

No wonder the internet was right—in the 21st century, the greatest threat isn’t the neighbor, but fire, theft, and your best friend.

“He dares!” Yi Lian glared at Xu Luocheng, leaving him utterly confused—why had she glared at him after muttering to herself? What a lunatic. Xu Luocheng turned away, ignoring her.

Zhang Zilong heard this and spat his tea out with a “puff!”—besides him, Yue’er and Xu Xian also spat, and the previously quiet room instantly filled with coughing.

That day the wind was strong, so the parachute was blown to their parking spot before landing; the picnickers were some distance away, so naturally they wouldn’t come over to check on the two of them.

“Rules are made by people—they can have exceptions. Isn’t that just a matter of my word?” The warden took the chance to assert his authority.

The shortage of materials directly raised the demands for precision.

The shockwave of the explosion spread like waves over a hundred li—trees, hills, and everything closest to the epicenter vanished instantly, reduced to dust.
