Chapter 27: A Clever Housewife
However, the Sage of the Six Paths had been dead for so many years, and even after Uchiha Madara had Zetsu investigate for decades, he had never found the Sage's burial site. Madara did not believe that Chao Yi Qianming would be able to find it. They probably never dreamed that what awaited them this time was not a grand prize, but a sharp butcher's knife.
In this universe, humans had become the dominant species across the galaxy, yet there were numerous alien races with varied appearances; after Wang Yu arrived, he faced almost no trouble regarding his identity.
PS: Lan's grandfather passed away. Only one chapter today; I will revise it tomorrow and update with six thousand words. The internet in the countryside is poor, please forgive me.
Xu Yanting had wanted to eavesdrop on the situation, but she was caught red-handed. Feeling guilty, she grabbed her bag and hurried toward the classroom.
The lighting system was as such, and the medical systems—whether electronic equipment or ventilators—were the same. The hospital's electronic systems were all backed up by emergency power just in case. Therefore, although this power outage was sudden, it would not cause any crisis.
Chao Yi Qianming's attack was not unexpected. With Madara's mastery of the Sharingan, he could easily see through Qianming's ninjutsu, and could even sever the Wood Dragon to launch a counterattack.
"Colonel Zhang, how are you holding up?" Thomas immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Back home, Zeng Yifan did not seem worried about being monitored by the police, whereas Old Huo was anxious the entire way, constantly checking for movement behind them until he felt slightly relieved once they were inside.
Xu Yanting smiled at the woman who had helped her earlier and mouthed a "thank you." The woman returned the smile.
Lin Chaolong and Chu Canghai were locked in a fierce business rivalry, primarily over Brain Domain Technology. Before Lin Chaolong was murdered, his five-dimensional brain domain was actually leading. Han Dachuan had designed programs for his neurological treatment and had restricted the access permissions.
A moment ago, Chen Cangzong's disciples had been watching Tang Long and the others with leisure, waiting to see their downfall; now, it was Tang Long's group looking triumphantly at them.
Casting a casual glance, he suddenly noticed a cloak on the coat rack nearby. It was the one Qin Zhaoyue had been wearing when she arrived; she must have left in such a hurry that she forgot it.
In truth, this could not be blamed on the An family. Luo Qingtong had asked the system for a special effect to project the An family's deepest fears before her, invisible to others. It merely amplified her inner dread, but using such a method now was incredibly effective.
Qing Yang shook his head and said, "Perhaps Master noticed some issues in your cultivation and is correcting them for you. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Besides, with me here, there won't be any problems."
"Trash." Ye Wei did not even look at Wen Chulin; with a casual strike of his Heart-Destroying Palm, he killed Wen Chulin right there on the ring.
The golden light flickered, and the three-pointed, double-edged blade transformed into a beautiful long sword, the hilt adorned with jewels and tassels.
It was precisely because of the suddenness and the large number of people that packing took so much time. However, with Qian Ruihan's birthday fast approaching, the people from the second and third branches should be arriving within the next two days.
Luo Qingtong emphasized the word "wife," watching the An family member with amusement. Sure enough, her emotions fluctuated wildly upon hearing those two words.
Though grumbling, Jiang Nan accepted his fate and, with the courage of someone facing death, "pushed" the matter into his gut.
Just then, Dong Linrui on the dragon throne looked at Su Xiumo, who was sitting at the end, with a smile. In an instant, however, he shifted his gaze to Su Kuo, his voice gentle and clear.
Tan Xingyun had done nothing, yet she had attracted such a mess. Just thinking about it made her fury boil over. She had rarely felt this angry lately; being unfairly smeared for no reason was something no one could stomach.
Her temperament was such that she could be smooth and worldly with strangers, but when it came to people involving her loved ones, she was unyielding and would not hide her disgust in the slightest.
"You're here." He used the speed of a hundred-meter dash to lock her firmly in his embrace.
Tan Xingyun raised her pistol, the dark muzzle aimed at Zuo Bo, and the bullet containing the anesthetic shot into his shoulder.
Seeing Gu Lei finally quiet down, Gu Anran turned his eyes and lowered his voice, speaking only loud enough for the two of them to hear.
Mu Zili, as always, told fresh stories that made the Old Madam roar with laughter. Mu Fenghua, wary of what Xifeng Jingtian had said last time and holding memories from her past life, could never feel close to this grandmother. Fortunately, the Old Madam was not very affectionate toward her either.
She heard nothing, only seeing Yin Zheng trembling all over, his breathing ragged, his eyes rimmed with red, tears slowly streaming down his face, which had aged significantly over the past few days.
The sound was very familiar; it should be the cry of a three-leaf armored beetle. Mu followed the direction of the sound and rushed down.
"She went to talk with those uncles..." Picking up a cup of cold tea on the table, Tong frowned slightly and took a sip.
The black cat guarding outside brought back news: the enemy had dispatched many troops and was conducting a large-scale, carpet-like search. Fearing discovery, the black cat had observed from afar before running straight back to the cave.
In the central square of the abandoned village, the adventurers and the Nine-Tailed Fox had entered a delicate state. The adventurers, who had originally been one team, had split into two factions, stalemated against each other. Mu and the others, along with the Nine-Tailed Fox, remained on the sidelines, watching the show.
As for the team members checking the leopard's corpse, the head had been severed; even with the hospital five meters away, there was no way to save it.
Villagers began to appear along the road. Due to being exposed to the scorching sun for years, their skin was very dark.
Even Ye Luo felt his stomach churning at the sight, but to deal with those zombies, crushing their heads was undoubtedly the best way.
However, Ye Luo certainly would not stop him; he would take the opportunity to see just how powerful the restrictions of the Dark Law were.
Qin Yan exchanged some chips and went to the elevator to go to the fourth floor.
Shouting like this, under the protection of the Imperial Guard, the King of Kunye had fled toward the West Gate, where it was rumored there was only one enemy.
Because by then, the matter had already been noticed by those with ulterior motives above, and in order not to startle the snake, they had all ceased their investigation into Li Yuandao.
