Chapter 554

"UGS Shicun, this is USG Shengshi Emergency Repair Team, I'm Security Chief Zach Hammond. We received your distress call. Shicun, please respond."

"Shicun, did you receive that?"

"This is USG Shengshi, please respond!"

But the only answer they received was silence.

Several days ago, the Shicun suddenly sent out a distress call, including a female security consultant, not

"I want to go with you too," Hu Mei said, biting her lip and looking at Lin Yifeng softly this time.

Ye Kui sneered twice. Since Ye Mingzhu had taken that dress from her, gotten her face swollen by wolf ants, and then "enjoyed" the powder she'd originally planned to use on Ye Kui, she hadn't shown her face in ages. Had it not been mentioned today, she might have forgotten the girl entirely.

Qin Mingyuan clenched his fist again, bowed respectfully to his mother, then stepped down from the carriage.

Zi Wan, seeing Empress Zhu in a rage, dared not urge her either to act or to refrain, and could only stand by, trembling with fear, serving.

In Changle Palace, Ling Xi had only demoted Qin Baolin’s rank, and said not a word about restoring Ru Baolin’s rank. Though Qin Baolin had lost, Ru Baolin gained nothing either.

It would not only pique the Emperor’s curiosity, but make him think you weren’t the type to constantly stir up trouble before his eyes. If you spoke too plainly to the Emperor, it would look like an accusation. That’s the art of speaking to an emperor.

When he raised his head again and looked ahead, before the green glow stood a familiar figure—ancient, frail, clad in black robes, hair and beard white, wearing a kind and gentle smile.

Li Dafuren forgot to cry, staring blankly at the two stacks of brand-new silver notes, not moving a muscle for a long time.

After reciting all the standard formalities as usual, Jiang, the competition arbiter, followed the pre-drawn draw chart and called the first pair of opponents onto the stage.

Xun Gufeng glanced, then continued flipping through his documents: "Let Bao'er practice gripping." What meaning could it have? Just playing around.

As she left the office, she bumped into Teacher Zhang, who rushed in. She stammered, "Sorry!" and squeezed out through the doorway, leaving Teacher Zhang baffled. When she asked Xu Ying, Xu Ying gave no sign of answering, just going about her own business.

Feng Gan, seeing she had calmed down, wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, burying his face against her neck from behind.

Duanmu Deshu, though unwell, did not accompany her the entire time, but remained in Feixia Palace for two days and nights, personally watching the child die.

Though he knew Qiao Nuo’s injuries weren’t serious, he still couldn’t relax. At the hospital, seeing Qiao Nuo talking with Shen Zheyu, he didn’t go in, just stayed outside listening to their conversation.

They held the one who founded Zhu Yang Bai Mo and gathered all spirits and ghosts in the highest reverence. If the Ancestor of Corpses was the leader of all human souls, then Taowu was the faith of all spirit and monster souls.

The two dressed and went out, got in the car. Lu Yunzheng fastened Qiao Nuo’s seatbelt before starting the engine.

Duanmu Deshu heard this and rushed over: "It’s what I said—you’ve got to work hard!" Then she pushed him onto the rocking chair.

Was it because of that night’s incident, which had hurt her too deeply? Or... was she truly unwilling to be with him?

Rumor had it that eternal howling winds raged there, where countless yin energies condensed, forming black clouds that never dispersed. Demons and monsters from the Ten Thousand Demon Pits gathered there, obeying the orders of the Corpse Mountain, constantly spreading outward.

Situ Kong sighed, looking at the woman before him, Fang Hui—she was truly beautiful. To be honest, he really wanted to sleep with her once.
