Chapter 157

"I'll be a bit late—wait for me a few minutes."

"It's fine, no rush."

Shen Siyuan had planned to leave right on time, but he couldn't get away.

Because Zhou Chuan asked him to hand over duties to Chen Hao, Shen Siyuan had to explain everything clearly, so he was delayed a bit.

By the time he stepped out of the office, the hallway was already filled with colleagues leaving for the day; everyone had to line up to clock out.

Ding Youguang was there too, though he didn't see Zhou Zhengdao, but that was only—

"Haywood, you've been thinking this long, and you're still just like this? Don't tell me you haven't thought of anything at all—just zoning out, wondering why you're so unlucky?" Terry asked.

"I'll leave when I want and stay when I don't—what's it to you?" Wenwen suddenly flew into a rage, shouting at Shoutaro.

"Pu Gega, if you've got something to say, say it—I won't accept such a grand gift." Qin Tianqi sat down on the nearby sofa, crossed his legs, and reached into his pocket to fumble around.

The monster, seeing that we weren't afraid but instead looked excited, flew into a rage, then aimed its gaping maw at us and spat out a pale yellow liquid.

The entire Beast Valley echoed with search-and-rescue calls; even outside reinforcements were fully engaged in the search.

With a swift "whoosh," the shield sliced through the American Empire captain's neck, and his large head flew into the air as blood gushed from the severed stump.

To be honest, the moment Bi Tao was struck by misfortune, her heart had already wavered—she just couldn't accept reality, burying it deep within herself.

Taking Zhang Yang's recent visit to the King of the Underworld's shop as an example, the store, which held partial equity from Zhang Yang, was no longer made of crumbling stone—it had become a yellow clay house just like in the game, covered with a few straw mats, its door now wooden, and inside, bronze-decorated items had appeared.

Of course, Qin Tianqi had no mood for such things right now—he should find a cave to shelter from the rain first.

The Virtual Mirror system platform has long since matured; it's no different from the app marketplace within the collection system. If there's any difference, it's just that there are fewer software applications.

"By the way, Xiang Ye, you will immediately lead our vanguard toward Julu City. If you encounter Qin forces along the way, fight to the death—the main army will arrive shortly!" On the way back to the Chu army's main camp, Xiang Yu gave Xiang Ye his orders.

Yang Qingshan took a detour through the woods to the school gymnasium; before he even arrived, Qiao Lina called, and he quickly answered.

After several seconds, Meng Qi struggled to his feet from the rubble, his face pale, his leg hanging limp and useless—the fabric of his pants had torn into shreds, exposing his leg, which, like his arm earlier, was clearly no longer functional.

"Yes. You may enter." The captain was still dazed, staring as the blue Bugatti drove into the campus; it took him ages to remember to ask Yang Qingshan if he'd imagined it—but found Yang Qingshan gone.

"You… you're the one who stinks!" Bai Fu's plea only made Wu Xiu tremble with rage; she grabbed the man lying on the ground, arms wrapped around his head, and yanked him up with both arms, lifting the much heavier Bai Fu high into the air.

"You guys really think this is a tourist spot?" Duo Duo held up a Gura digital camera, utterly exasperated.

The Liang family's guards panicked instantly—the beast's roar shook their very souls; even Liang Hui and the Liang family's old retainer were stunned upon hearing it. But their senses were nowhere near as sharp as Qisha's—they couldn't yet detect the ninth-rank spiritual beast.
