Chapter 106: Insufficient Personnel

After leaving the Dragon Race craftsman's forge, the two men and the cat stared at each other, facing the hurried crowd on the street.

Everyone was busy, yet only the three of them had nothing to do—wouldn't it be embarrassing to keep taking leave even if they were told to?

They returned all the way to the Assembly Hall Tavern.

Guild Master Sophia was swamped, with too many matters awaiting her decisions; she didn't seem to be inside the Gathering Hall either—better not trouble her.

Having considered this,

The Abyssalized Native Creatures, gone berserk, furiously attacked the Cultivators who had descended here, tearing them to shreds and devouring them clean.

Of course, as Pei Feng grew older, this hobby gradually faded, especially after his beloved dog, Dou Sheng, was mortally wounded in battle and died—after that, he developed a deep aversion to this kind of "sport."

This conclusion left Qin Yu unable to accept it, yet based on what he saw, it seemed the only possible explanation.

Because he had reached the vicinity of the Village, he could no longer show himself or step outside to breathe the air—he could only stay cooped up in the car, wrapped tightly in his trench coat. Whenever a villager happened to pass by, he had to immediately crawl under the vehicle to avoid terrifying these ignorant Earthlings.

"So if we collect all the residual soul fragments of this guy and reassemble them… rounding off, wouldn't we end up with a god—or a demon?" Duan Jiude said, his eyes suddenly widening, his breathing quickening.

But when Pei Feng turned Zuo Zhi's face toward him and saw her pale cheeks streaked with tears, he suddenly came to his senses—and a sharp, unpleasant sensation pierced straight to his heart, making it ache.

The ten Fallen Human Race members exchanged glances, silently stepping back one by one, vanishing into the mist.

That night, Xu Muning talked at length with Pei Feng—mostly about the martial world, little about fist techniques—giving Pei Feng a deeper understanding of this modern-day grand martial world.

Over the past two days, Xue Fei received several calls from Luan Feng, all asking when he would let her return to Ice City. Thinking of Tong Dazhi as well, Xue Fei felt it was time to find Pan Qi.

"Indeed, in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed!" Chu Tianming also sighed deeply.

Looking down, Gong Bo gazed at his own body, then turned again to his assistant, his handsome brows furrowed in doubt.

Shang Ruonan watched them bickering from the side, giggling softly—so long as Third Sister could argue again, things were already better; she feared only that Third Sister would remain unconscious.

Noodles made from flour ground from wheat that had been steeped for two months and carried the scent of barley tasted even firmer and sweeter.

"Madam, please don't get agitated—this is Director Li's request. You may also draft your own requirements." Su Mo spoke solemnly.

Yet they spent hours haggling over mere five- or ten-unit prices, only stopping once they had achieved their goal.

The old man looked at them in fear, trembling all over; when he looked at me, his eyes held unease, terror, and helplessness.

Work at the company was stressful, and when she got home, she still had to worry about Han Feng and Li Qin's problems—she had it so hard.

Just as Lin Qingyue reached the door of Xia Qiang's ward and raised her hand to knock, the door opened from inside—A Fang emerged holding a thermos, presumably heading out to fetch boiling water.

"I know, I know you didn't. I'll make them clear your name—I swear it!" Su Yang stroked her silken hair, his heart aching painfully.

Walking down the narrow staircase, soon they saw Su Guo and Su Mo, fully on guard.

The 'String-Off Pierce' involves bending the entire body into a bow shape, then launching forward at arrow speed to stab the enemy's heart—this technique has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that within short range, it succeeds in assassination nine times out of ten; the disadvantage is that the user also suffers severe injury, since the enemy is also armed.
