Chapter 122: Be My Beloved Treasure
Chapter 122: Be My Precious Possession
Wang Guocheng raised his eyebrows and leaned closer to the screen, carefully scrutinizing the room behind Fan Xiaoyou in the video. Seeing that the furnishings matched his original plan, he felt a sense of approval for Rong Kai’s competence.
He asked calmly, "Xiaoyou... let me release you, and then we shall spar again. You only need to agree that if I capture you once more, you will obey me forever. Do you accept?"
As Li Xiaohe spoke, Zhou Liang listened intently, occasionally taking notes. After listening, he asked a few more questions, continuing until he received satisfactory answers and fully understood the situation. His demeanor was exactly like that of a devoted and diligent student.
Hu Shiyun called the office to say that she had found An Yi and An Qi and was arranging their accommodation, so she would not be going into work that afternoon.
This time, he saw it clearly: embedded in the large tree not far behind him were three gleaming gold rings. These were the very objects that had attacked him just moments ago.
"Isn't this the level-three helmet from the game? Why would you keep it specifically in a box? Is there something special about it?" Long Meixin asked Chen Yifa, full of curiosity.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry too much about the gaze of others; let's just focus on our rehearsals," Zhou Aren said, noticing everyone’s nervousness and stepping in to encourage them.
"Alright, everyone, get ready. Makeup artists will be here shortly to assist you. Once everything is prepared, the program recording will begin." After giving these instructions, the staff member left the lounge.
Jiang Cheng watched the performance on stage. He could see that these were all manifestations of demons, though the contestants present were merely spirits that had awakened but had not yet reached the realm of human transformation.
Meanwhile, a pregnant Chen Shuozhen, leading soldiers from the Six Zhaos along with mercenaries from the Tang Dynasty and Western Zhou, was entering the territory of the Pyu Kingdom.
The Demon Realm’s great sealing formation was not something he could undo in the short term, which meant the Demon Saint could not be released. It just so happened that he had learned the opportunity to achieve sainthood was connected to the World-Heaven Crystal.
Back in the room, Zhao Xin played games while eating, to the point where I began to worry she would spill sauce on my keyboard.
"Then why did you get into a fight with Carlos this morning? Was it really because he stole your first love?" Diana asked with curiosity.
"Ron, I'm so tired. I want to sleep." Diana was a mage, and although her constitution was better than most, after a full day of walking, she could no longer hold on. As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed into Ron’s arms and fell into a deep sleep shortly after.
Long Tian had just used his divine sense to briefly check the car behind them. Detecting no murderous intent, he shook his head and ceased paying attention to the pursuers. After notifying Zhu Yafeng and the others of the rendezvous point, he increased his speed and easily shook off those following him.
It turned out that after returning last night, Quinn and the others had been busy tending to their wounds or resting. They hadn't expected Ron and Diana to run into trouble. It wasn't until noon that they realized the two had not returned, so they found Agatha and followed her to the Valley of the Undead.
However, the moment I stepped into the alley, I felt that something was wrong. The alley seemed longer and darker than usual.
"Um... this... Brother Zhang, how did you come to know of this?" The Eighth Prince carefully weighed his words. After all, the Tenth Prince’s collusion with the Prince of Southern Pacification was an act of treason—a capital offense—and the implications involved were far too vast and dangerous.
"Energy balls??? Didn't you tell the people outside that they were atomic bombs?" Liu Wanyue asked in confusion.
