Monster (32)

“Yes, you’re right. All the materials are here—it looks like you gathered them yourself. Wait... don’t tell me you actually went to your dragon clan’s sacred ground?” Lucy’s expression shifted again, now filled with anxiety, astonishment, and disbelief.

“It was pure chance,” Chu Yan nodded, finally understanding why this person was seeking him out. Number Nine glanced at Chu Yan’s car—a Knight Fifteen, fully bulletproof at the highest level, with a price to match. But with this car, rescuing the chameleon would be much easier.

“Sir, we’re in urgent need of manpower. I have fought Zhou Cang and Guan Hai several times—both are strong. Why not keep them and let them serve our army, redeeming themselves through service?” Gao Fei, intent on recruiting Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, spoke hurriedly.

“Lanting Residence.” Xiao Zihan softly recited the place name, and Chu Yan opened the car’s navigation system. When the marker for Lanting Residence appeared on the screen, Chu Yan’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Unless you bring Su Ming and my dream girl Xiaona, no one else gets credit!” Hao Baishi was acting as if he already owned the place.

“Does it hurt?” Xue Weiguo pressed the wound, and Xue Tenghao grimaced, letting out a hiss.

Yet the conical stone platform paid no mind to the fractured monument spirit. Perhaps it knew that, with its own strength, it could only affect the broken monument itself and was powerless against the spirit.

Shen Lin was rubbing her chest, then suddenly her face turned red. She looked up and cursed at me, “Get out!” and kicked at me, landing a blow on my leg. Then, with a swift punch, she aimed for my face.

The Sky Howling Dog came in, pointing at us and at the students who had just gotten up from the floor: those who needed the infirmary were sent there, those who needed the disciplinary office went there. At first, we thought about denying everything, but with Qi Yu present, there was no point.

Chen Yuanyuan gave Liu Aunt a meaningful look. Liu Aunt understood and shouted, “Fine, I have no right to speak! I’ll go and notify the eldest daughter of the Chen family and let them handle it themselves.” With that, Liu Aunt ran off toward the village hidden among peach blossoms.

The episode didn’t trouble Chen Yun in the slightest; it was simply irritating—too infuriating for words.

The three-headed ape was useless in itself. If his death could bring the family a chance to expand, then his sacrifice would have value.

Chen Yun was startled, turning to look at the row of stone statues. Sure enough, the second statue on the left was missing; this must be the second one. He carefully examined the puppet, trying to discern its cultivation level. The first was a high-level martial artist; this one couldn’t be much better.

Deeper inside, a tall fortress loomed ahead, built entirely from giant stones, six stories high, nearly thirty feet tall. At the top was a ring of battlements for sentries and archers to patrol and defend.

The summoned Evil King uttered only six words: three “kill” and three “die,” giving an impression of profound malice and coldness.

“It’s settled—I knew you couldn’t ignore this! Come, let’s have a drink!” Lu Guang raised his glass with a smile.

There was nothing to be done; Qin Fan’s name had long since disappeared from the Golden Tablet. His supporters could only remain silent now.

“Ice God, you’ve finally appeared.” The Bloodshed Supreme spoke, his words tinged with emotion.

“You’re in this business too—don’t tell me you feel nothing for the land at Crescent Bay?” Ye Peiyu still couldn’t believe that Xue Kai could restrain himself and not be tempted by Crescent Bay.

“This is my personal matter. You’d best go home.” Lu Ruicheng dismissed his smile, returning to his usual sour expression.

“Fire Star Vine?” The old village chief repeated the name, shaking his head in confusion.

Wu Cha’s Three Suns Technique was a rare reincarnation method—when practitioners reached a certain level, they would disperse their cultivation and start anew, each time striving for perfection.

At this moment, the Haozhou army had already climbed the city walls, engaged in fierce, grueling combat. Often, the Haozhou soldiers would drive the Wuzhou troops off the ramparts, only for the Wuzhou army to counterattack and reclaim the walls, forcing Haozhou to regroup and assault again.

“Brother Gao! What brings you to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Why didn’t you contact me beforehand?” Zhang Xuanji greeted him with a smile.

This question was mere courtesy; in Ran Yue’s eyes, Ye Ni was only a pawn, but a crucial one. Ran Yue never told her much, but she had to give Ye Ni a sense of presence, so Ye Ni wouldn’t feel afraid and eventually realize she was being used.

When did this brother, usually as calm as an iceberg, become so impatient and unable to see the situation clearly?

Just then, Dr. Hu’s voice rang out from within, joyful and triumphant. Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief, exchanging glances.

“Tsk, what else? Figure out a way to deal with the mortal world, then go our separate ways and live peacefully.” Yan Ling clicked his tongue, as if the answer was obvious.

In the blink of an eye, the bone spike was less than an inch from Cai Xian’er’s face. Just as she thought death was certain, the spike abruptly halted in midair, unable to advance any further.

Wu Zheqin was speaking to Du Youyou, but her words also humiliated Chen Xiaoran. Du Youyou instinctively glanced at Chen Xiaoran, who seemed oblivious to the insult. He continued eating fruit, his movements graceful and handsome.

“Boss, didn’t you say we could eat our fill today?” Old Xu happened to come by to hand over the zombie crystal, laughing.

The Black King’s longing faded. Watching Li Yuanxu’s hand reach in, it affectionately nuzzled him with its horse head, letting out a happy whinny.

“Luckily, Lan’er and I are both human…” Tianhua sighed in relief after hearing the words of the Sky-Reaping Mantis.

But I knew that the sooner I told Zhang Yingying, the better. At least, it would give her time to prepare. If I waited too long, she might not be able to accept it all at once.
