Chapter 118: The Moonlit Night Chamber of Commerce
The Cave of Dreadful Howls lies over 2,300 kilometers deep within Demon territory.
After accepting the mission, Bai Nianxuan received the quest item: the Scouting Gem. This gem is capable of recording video. Because the mission they accepted is to explore the Cave of Dreadful Howls, the gem is provided for free for the duration of the exploration. Bai Nianxuan led the group toward the southeast. The party traveled day and night, reaching the southeast of the Temple Alliance in eight days.
Su Mu grabbed it, pulling it back. "You’re always ready to throw your life away, but can you actually win? You aren't a nine-lived cat with extra lives to burn."
Lei Yuan’s legs tightened, and then, uncontrollably, they buckled slightly. With just a single gaze from afar, Lei Yuan felt as if Mount Tai were pressing down on his entire body; his chest felt as if a massive boulder had settled upon it, making even breathing agonizingly difficult.
Judging by their appearance, even if they were not teachers at the academy, they must be senior students with high cultivation levels.
By the time the fourth blueprint was finished, it was already the hour of the Rat. The village was silent, save for the occasional, abrupt bark of a dog.
Zhang Tieshuan immediately perked up, leaning his entire body forward, waiting for Bai Qianning to continue speaking.
The restless Myriad Thunder Killing Array suddenly fell silent. Even the flickering yellow and blue lightning seemed to freeze in an instant, and the glowing white palm print stood motionless, as if struck by a binding spell.
"All right." Feng Yu released Su Yuchu and obediently ran to wash his hands. By the time he returned, Su Yuchu had finished setting the table. The aroma was mouth-watering, stirring a great appetite.
After the two consecutive battles just now, Su Mu felt he had truly let off some steam. Although his body was exhausted, his heart felt incredibly satisfied.
"Come here." After dinner, Feng Yu beckoned to Su Yuchu, who was about to return to her room, signaling for her to approach.
Unaware of the elaborate scenarios playing out in Yun Qingyan’s mind, Ning Yi peered into the furnace and picked out the one with the simplest design.
Luo Chen’s perception was correct; the soul fluctuations were filled with deathly stillness because it was truly dead. That faint spark of vitality was merely a program it had set with its own life, programmed to emit pulses only when noticed by someone with a powerful and pure soul.
"That’s different. When I was twenty, I was a hoodlum, constantly causing trouble for my mother, which eventually led to her state today." After Xiao Nan finished speaking, Duan Yena wore a look of helplessness. Yun Lin was only twenty, and he was already like this; what would he be like in a few years?
Cheng Qifeng’s expression was somber. "We are holding a short meeting today to announce something. Our Jin Jue was acquired by the Long Corporation last night and has become one of their subsidiaries. The Jin Jue brand will exist as an extended brand of the Long Corporation."
This sense of helplessness brought not only anger and frustration but also a tinge of fear. He could not sit still and wait for death, Li Dajiang’s thoughts spiraling into chaos.
Although she didn't care much for the pain, being drenched in that strange water was quite uncomfortable. She understood the principle that a wise person knows how to adapt to circumstances.
While He Yuqing could address them by name, the three maids—Green Willow and the others—were not permitted to do so; they stepped forward and bowed respectfully in a traditional salute.
Gu Youtong waved at Xu Wanwan with a smile. Once Xu Wanwan and Jin Juefeng were out of sight, the smile on Gu Youtong’s face faded.
"I just wanted to go out and see if Han Jiujiu is actually helping me. I don't really know what she’s doing now, and I’ll only know if I see it for myself. Besides, is it wrong for me to want to see my mom and dad?" Mu Yan cried out aggrievedly.
But if it wasn't Wang Xue and the others, then who else would want me dead?
"It’s not good. It seems Jenaha has come under attack, and even the Nazarte Academy has been fortified," the remaining teacher answered seriously.
Thinking of his original appearance, Chu Shou’s mind was filled with images of Beckham or Andy Lau, but after a long while, there was no change at all.
