Chapter 102: The Empress

Jiang Yan rubbed his temples wearily, a rare gloom settling over his features; he didn't want to harbor suspicion, and knew that given Wei Lan's age and temperament, she could never have anything with Chu Hang—but between them, there was an inexplicably perfect resonance, one even he couldn't penetrate.

"Meeting him before the Guandong Championship might have been lucky," Old Ban Tian smiled, seemingly unangered.

Dou Weier nearly bit off her own tongue by the end—why did it feel like she was only making things look worse?

"Tsk, Yin Zhuo's days ahead are going to be hard," Wei Lan said, sounding almost gleeful.

Yesterday, Jing Boyuan obtained the Song family's phone number from Ye Qingxin, told them about Zhou Qiaoqiao's death, and the Song family immediately arranged the funeral, set up the mourning hall, and hired a funeral band.

The great beauty had already perished in that world; Bu Feifan couldn't bear to let her die in despair in this space too—he had the power to change it, so he couldn't stand idly by.

But Xiao Yong was like an old fox—after capturing Qiao Bingzhang, why would he directly bring him back to Anping Town, and worse, not hide his trail at all, deliberately drawing attention to stir up suspicion? That wasn't Xiao Yong's way at all.

"The school is part of the Federation; we can't abandon this vital mission over a baseless crisis," Luo Chao declared sternly.

A powerful force was rising, emerging from the darkness, while a monstrous, overwhelming malevolent aura surged toward the heavens.

"It doesn't look like a dragon, not like a bird, not like a human," the crowd stared, stunned, at the monstrous beast.

As the Ghost Gate opened, torrents of yin energy surged out uncontrollably; soon, the center of the void was completely shrouded in thick, gray-white yin mist.

Feng Yao said: "Of course, the Five Immortals are our friends, all living beings of this world—how could we kill them lightly?" Ye Suiyun knew that when they spoke of the "Five Immortals," they meant the Five Poisons.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt a faint spiritual force emanating from the black shadow in the painting.

Someone was secretly repairing the camera inside the ceiling—Zhang Yiming naturally heard it, and signaled the news to Hou Yu with hand gestures.

Li Qifeng could alter his appearance, but he couldn't change his eyes, nor could he hide the emotions buried deep within his heart.

Kakashi, seeing this, exhaled in relief—the process matched his prior experience; it should be fine.

Moreover, in Konoha, Kakashi believed that if Orochimaru appeared, he would detect him immediately.

The Third Hokage's handling of the matter also struck him as unbelievable; no wonder Kakashi was annoyed.

"Alright, I originally intended to take Naruto away for training, since I still hold the key to the Nine-Tails inside him," Jiraiya said.

Chu Zhixin didn't ask her what was wrong, but he guessed part of it—he'd been paying attention to the release date of the graduate entrance exam results, which was just these days.

"Fine, fine, now you two mother and son are a team—I dare not bully him," Wang Shi sighed helplessly.

Mo Bai tried activating his power, but found it completely drained; he scanned the room and noticed the cage's material was strange.

"Damn it, let me deal with Ye Long and his crew, and you come to hang out with Ruan Xiaoxiao? You're reeking of her scent—what were you doing with Ruan Xiaoxiao just now?" Lei Qinglian roared in fury.

After saying that, Jack looked at Yue Yanrong seriously. He knew how much Yue Yanrong liked Bertha White. And he himself had also had contact with Bertha White before.

Zi Yun and Shan Ping brought Guo Hanxiang to a residence and arranged her room.

But after walking for an unknown length of time, Su Ruhe realized things were more complicated than they seemed.

She understood the events of that time, the truth behind them; the fault wasn't the man's, and his love for her, accumulated over time, hadn't diminished a single bit—it had grown even deeper.

"Darling, I think… we can only follow Kocker's advice," Mrs. White also looked at Mr. White with serious intent; even though she knew the chance of success was low, she still wanted to try.

Chu Zhixin dropped Shen Yuyao off at the Shen residence, then hurried back to Chu Corporation; as he stepped out of the president's private elevator, his heart was uneasy—he hadn't forgotten Su Liangqiu's words before he left: Chu Zhixin, if you walk out today, we're truly finished.

As Le Jin said, in battle, the brave prevail. Only a direct assault would do. Cao Cao stared at the map, his gaze hardening.

Now, besides their traditional starfleet, they had to face the terrifying space crawlers.

"Why are you here so early? And why are you standing by the door?" Zheng Qing snapped back.

"Lady, look, she's about to die—why won't you help her?" He Zheng asked coldly.

"Father and Mother must take good care of yourselves; Yu'er has grown up now, and I still plan to return home to serve you both properly," Fan Yu said solemnly.
