We had a one-night stand, that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t bear it—he’d pursued Wang Xiaojun for over a year without success; how could Gan Liang have won her over in just their second meeting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grew restless—should I go left, right, or carefully search this forest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Nie Feng’s lips moved slightly as he began chanting incantation glyphs—thirty-four obscure, difficult incantation glyphs slowly extricated themselves from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, we’ll fully obey your command and leadership,” Jiang Yuyan said with a grin, thumping her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Shangguan Feiyan showed no intention of moving aside, Tang Fei finally grew impatient and stepped out of the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu realized he’d spoken wrongly and quickly denied it, retracting the Thunder Array diagram into his Qiankun waistband, then just grinned foolishly at Shen Mengzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resonant hum of a sword being drawn echoed through heaven and earth, piercing eardrums—suddenly, a holy radiant sword of light, two to three hundred meters long, erupted skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This black mage was, in fact, a professional “king-slayer,” having roamed over a hundred kingdoms, helping dozens of crown princes ascend the throne prematurely, harvesting the souls of over a thousand silenced victims, and using his earnings to purchase five space rings and countless resources and materials stored within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~” She exhaled to ease her tension, picked up the microphone—her palms drenched in sweat—but the Zhaoyuan family never retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trouble!” Luo Dong flung away the Blue Lotus Danfire, while the Six Ding Divine Fire immediately began devouring it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the matter was, whether it was harmful to him—none of that was known yet, but Wu Tong felt it was enough to warrant caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, through the lingering return-line that Chen Dong had previously handled, Alecto monitored the entire Academy City, bringing it entirely under his control through his formidable magic and superior stratagems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than the Great Peng spread its wings and soared skyward, vanishing beyond the horizon within a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he harbored slight doubts, on matters of such importance he never defied the emperor’s will. He decided to simply watch her closely—if she faltered, he would act immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dong went down to inspect—it was a storage chamber whose size was nearly indeterminable, filled with countless robots neatly arranged, while new robots continued to be lowered from holes above, to the left, and to the right, delivered by mechanical arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dong had no choice but to hurl two treasures first, smashing the two attackers of Zhaoyuan Sōjin into the ocean, and just as he prepared to throw another treasure to aid Sasaki Momotsuki, the Northern Blue in his hand suddenly writhed violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days ago, Chen Dong used Manhattan Doctor’s power to eliminate the monstrous Ye Yazhi; Ye Qingyun was deeply shaken and sent back home—she was clearly devastated by her cousin’s choice and fate, appearing as though she needed considerable time to recover from her depressive state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following period, Liang Yi was permitted to rest at home for a month; he did not refuse.
