Volume One, Chapter 26: Something Is Wrong with His Brain

Shen Qingqing stepped forward and blocked Mo Lingcheng between the sofa and coffee table. “That isn’t how it was.”

Mo Lingcheng reached out and flicked away the ash from his cigarette without looking at her.

Shen Qingqing bit her lip, then half-crouched and lifted her face to him.

Her voice was gentle, carrying a hint of helplessness and appeasement.

“For many things, you may only need to consider whether you want them. But for me, I have to consider whether I can.”

Mo Lingcheng stubbed out his cigarette and looked down into her eyes. “That’s because you want too much.”

With that, he rose, walked around Shen Qingqing, and headed toward the room.

Shen Qingqing remained crouched where she was, motionless for a long while.

When she heard the bedroom door close, she gave a self-mocking smile...

Yilan turned her head toward the car and said, “It’s almost lunchtime. I’ll take you to a restaurant.” She opened the car door.

“Family Head Hong, one does not employ people one suspects, nor suspect those one employs. If you don’t trust me, you may as well pretend you never heard what I said earlier,” Li Ming said indifferently.

On the main battlefield, armored units were sent forward again and again. Even if they were blasted into scrap metal, they were forbidden to turn back. Along the mountain flanks, armored detachments entered the mountains in successive waves, solely to give the soldiers the greatest possible chance of transmitting intelligence about the enemy back to headquarters before they died in battle.

“A lie?” Qin Yue’s mind suddenly grew hazy. If the Resurrection Pill’s power to reverse life and death was merely a lie, what was she supposed to do?

Why had she forgotten? Had she coincidentally lost this part of her spiritual core in the sea of souls within the dimensional realm? Or had someone deliberately tampered with her and concealed the memory? At this point, perhaps there was no meaning in dwelling on it anymore.

After arriving here, Li Ming immediately became cautious. He changed not only his appearance but also his build, lest anyone recognize him.

Qidiao Zi fell silent, though inwardly he thought that this was probably unavoidable. Unless Chongshan was willing to pledge allegiance to Meng Hu—which was clearly impossible.

Li Ming had never imagined that this mission would bring such enormous trouble. Otherwise, he would never have accepted it so readily.

Meanwhile, in the distant Southern Galaxy, Bai Jun received Fengling’s message and, through Xuan Jun of the Interstellar Warfront, summoned the masters of the eight great hegemonic forces to the Interstellar Warfront. Bai Jun did not appear in person; he merely observed from the shadows, leaving all authority over the discussions to Xuan Jun.

If they encountered each other on Number Six, then after setting up a great formation, he might even be tempted to give it a try.

After his hair had been placed in the bag, Tu Lin held the strand up to the light. It was slightly reddish, with a wavy curl and a purplish-red hue.

Especially when I heard him hum that tune, I felt a chill run down my spine, as though someone were blowing cold air onto the back of my neck.

Ou Tong nodded and led Liu Qiang and the others into the courtyard. A few minutes later, a rugged blue pickup truck drove out.

Sure enough, the power of love was the most effective remedy. With one casual remark from Tang Tang, Huang Yan immediately returned to her true nature.

“Master, you said there would be a patient tonight and that we’d have business. Will there really be one?” From his initial absolute faith in Huazi to his present inner turmoil, A-Jie was terrified that he would spend his whole life mastering the art of slaying dragons, only to discover that dragons had never existed—that there would be no dragons for him to slay.

“The private room is booked for seven. Don’t forget,” I said before turning to leave.

Meanwhile, after returning to the villa, Luo Jiao did not rest. Once she reached her room, she hastily packed a few belongings, then dragged her suitcase downstairs.

Of course, Li Ao still needed to remain as respectful toward Li Hui as ever. Only then would Li Hui refrain from turning against him and join forces with him against their common enemies.

“Besides, whatever you want, I’ll give you!” Yang Yunshan shouted hoarsely.

Although his position within the Lin family of Magic City showed no signs of decline, he was nevertheless finding every step increasingly difficult within the family.

Even Noxus, whose internal struggles were notoriously brutal, absolutely forbade large-scale bloodshed between family factions within its territory. This had long since become the consensus of every empire.

White Silver Two had gone from being unable to use rage to being able to wield it. Quite apart from the extent of his temporary increase in combat strength, this would also provide enormous benefits for his future cultivation and advancement to White Silver Two.

The vanguard troops led by Fei Lian were certainly not the elite forces of the Shang dynasty. At least half of them were ordinary soldiers, and judging from their armor, as many as eighty percent were not soldiers at all.

“Control would be too strong a word, but I can influence her.” Yun Ze looked at Tong Guai with shining eyes.

Tong Guai lowered her head and thought for a moment, but in the end she still refused. Having seen the works of so many designers, Tong Guai felt that she still had a long road ahead of her.

After this great battle, both armies suffered casualties. The Xin Ye Army withdrew behind the third city wall, while Longshan and Xin Kuang were both gravely wounded. Thus, the two armies called a truce.

That syllable stretched on for a long time. Just then, a tangible silver-white radiance suddenly erupted from behind Gu Fan and shot straight into the night sky.

There was a knock at the door. Tong Guai was curled up on the sofa in melancholy, staring blankly at the ceiling, while Big Guai snored thunderously at her feet.

Now that he had returned, he could not casually make a promise for a lifetime. At the very least, during this period, he would properly make it up to Xu Yaran.

The spectators below watched this overwhelming scene. After a brief silence, the arena erupted in a thunderous roar of applause.

At the same time, Mu Zifei set himself a goal: no matter what, he would one day find that force, break into that secret chamber, rescue the Mu family ancestor trapped inside, and lay him to rest.

“All right, enough about that. Let’s have some tea.” Sun Yanjie raised his cup and spoke, no longer discussing the matter with them.

Without realizing it, both sides let everything go. The paths they had once taken in opposite directions slowly vanished without a trace amid the lingering remnants of the greater world and the erasure of memory. Too many people had disappeared into that boundless dream.
