Chapter 134: Deserved Reputation

Shi Yi raised their tightly clasped hands.
"Interested in an office romance?"
"Click—"
"Click—"
Gu Hansheng, brimming with excitement, was just about to lift Shi Yi up and spin her around to announce their love to the world when a massive, blinding flash of light erupted from behind them, illuminating their surroundings as if it were broad daylight.
Instantly, the alcohol-induced haze vanished from Gu Hansheng’s mind, and he looked back in terror.

After all, those two were from the Underworld; surely they were more authoritative when it came to dealing with ghosts than they were.
"Isn't this a perfect opportunity? You've lived in the city all your lives and rarely see exotic beasts; now is the perfect time to hone your skills," said Xue Bufan, who had appeared behind the brothers Bai Qi and the other without them noticing.
"I'm fine. Tell him I'm doing well and he shouldn't blame himself. Plans can't keep up with changes; Mo's death has nothing to do with him," Qin Wu said as she climbed to her feet.
"It's just some homemade wine and mooncakes, nothing but fresh supplies. I also picked out two bolts of cloth for Uncle and Aunt, and of course, I didn't forget you," Gu Ye said, rushing to help Yue Yuan as his grandfather busied himself unloading goods from the pack mules.
Luo Qing felt a slight panic, but she did not offer the same respectful bow she once gave the Goddess Xuan.
The teaching building was a distance from the complex building, about a four-minute walk, so they had to leave early. Even if not for the sake of discipline, one would naturally act on the impulse to see Teacher Zhao Xiao sooner.

He had originally thought that since Mu Gongming was his classmate and held the same rank, there wasn't much difference between them.
He glared at Fang Zheng, pausing to regulate his breathing, and for the first time, he felt a hint of fear when facing him.
"If you’re so cowardly, be a man and show some courage in front of her," Bai Qi said.
Suddenly, someone stepped heavily on the hem of Qin Wu’s skirt, tearing it right off.

Li Wei was speechless, suddenly sensing a dark irony: the walls the nobles had built for themselves had ultimately become the prison that trapped them to death.
Sima Jiong was a man of status; he couldn't afford to let such an embarrassing matter as doubting a subordinate's loyalty become public knowledge—it would look terrible.
With a "snap," the belt whipped across her body, leaving her fair skin stinging with sharp, burning pain.
He Yainian’s expression shifted slightly, a gravity settling over his face as he fixed a scrutinizing gaze on Li Zhiyun, silently watching for her reaction.
These steel needles were more than twice as long and thick as ordinary embroidery needles, appearing far more powerful and lethal.
"You are nothing but a slut! Look at this!" As soon as Liu Dazhi finished speaking, he threw a stack of photos in front of Xu Na.
In a flash, Shi Han unleashed his "Fatal Assassination" strike, the sword tip pressing against Cui Fangyi’s throat.
"That wasn't an earthquake; it felt more like some massive creature passing by," Wang Jun said.
A thousand meters away, hidden in the grass, Nan Cang lay prone, staring fixedly at the unfolding situation.
Quan Heng also looked over, noting that both individuals were at the half-step Mountain-Suppressing Realm; their auras were deep and solid—they were experts.
"If you want revenge, you can choose to do it now, or you can go back abroad and hide for a while," Su Rui narrowed his eyes and asked Zhang Feiran once more.
"This must be the place." Looking back at the location of Building 15, Zhang Yuan stared at the building before him, thinking that the building sign was blank and the parking lot below held only a few electric scooters.
If not for the occasional NPC buying such items at a low price for research, they would likely have no value at all. Aside from destruction, the only choice would be to dump them somewhere and wait for a system reset.
Especially those few, Lin Zheng and the others; their terrifying vitality seemed comparable to the oldest monsters of the Holy Spirit Realm.
Deng She surrounded the city on three sides, attacking day and night. It hadn't been long since Nahachu began his siege, and Guan Duo’s thirty thousand loyal troops hadn't had time to rest. Without his secondary troops, he had no reserves and couldn't hold a city as large as Liaoyang. Deng She was certain that sooner or later, he would be forced to send his unreliable troops onto the walls, and as soon as they did, the opportunity would arise.
One location was the temporary residence of Li Si and his advisors; the other was the central area of this palace.

The intervention of Nan Ju and the others caused the experts present to pause for a moment. They naturally knew the status of these five, but how much power could they possibly possess?
General Jiang happened to land right in the middle of a water vat. His lower body sank in, his legs and torso folding into a double bend; he was buried more than halfway, with only his feet and head visible, and he was even sprayed in the head with water.
Yan Tian was a native Southerner, and her voice was as sweet and soft as her name. Although she lost the strength to project her voice at the climax, she still earned a round of applause at the end. The second song belonged to the men's camp, and Xie Yongqing went up to choose "Dusk"—he had always leaned toward the melancholic style in his singing.
Dong Lei slowly aligned his gun barrel with the Japanese officer's head, mentally calculating the wind speed and adjusting his breathing. His finger pulled the trigger almost subconsciously; with a "bang," the officer’s head exploded, and he fell backward onto the ground.
"Do they teach martial arts in universities now?" Yang Weiming blinked; he was a shrewd man and naturally didn't believe it.
The Flame Dragon Venerable and Yan Li were positioned within the encirclement of Lu Shaoming and the Wind Sword Venerable. The Reversal Reincarnation Array turned the Phantom Five Dragon Seal back on itself, and since the fire energy of these two hadn't been fully drained, it naturally followed them in their pursuit of the Primordial Seed.
With Lin Feng's abilities, he could completely manipulate his own pituitary gland's endocrine system to achieve the same effect as consuming or injecting "Ice." However, since everything was produced by his own pituitary gland, the effect was limited.
Although the scene in the sky was exceptionally brilliant, it meant nothing to the common people; they were more worried about what ominous signs might follow.
After staring at the slave merchant for a long while, Gui Chou spoke two sentences in a similarly low tone. The merchant nodded slightly and retreated. No one paid attention to what Gui Chou had said to him, and not even the big man had managed to hear it.
Hua Tu shouted urgently; this was as good as a success, and if an accident happened at such a critical juncture, he would truly wish he were dead.
"Order received!" Zhao Yun accepted the command arrow, bowed to Gao Yun, and left the tent with Zhao Ying to arrange the troops.
This battle had the greatest impact on Liu Biao. By comparison, he now had a rough measure of just how powerful the Tiger Might Army's combat strength truly was.
Seeing their lord act in such a way, the morale of the Xichuan soldiers surged; fearless of death, they launched a fierce assault on the walls of Mianyang.
"What I’m worried about now is how to let Junting know. Honestly, I don't even know myself why Chen Shinan has such a misunderstanding." Mo Yinchuan was uncharacteristically troubled.
