Chapter 24: The Moon Demon King Agares Complains to Fengxiu

“If it’s a boy, he will be called Haochen.” Bai Yue smiled gently, her fair face glowing with joy. “Hao means bright, and Chen means morning. I hope he will be a child of light, pure and innocent, untouched by the world’s corruption.”

“If it’s a girl, she will be named Haochen. Chen means treasure. It signifies a bright treasure, the precious jewel I hold in the palm of my hand. I wish her a smooth life, never to suffer as I have.”

“Haochen and Haochen…”

“What’s going on?” Huo’er had stored a good deal of seafood in his spatial ring during the previous battles, and was just about to find a quiet corner to enjoy them when Lin Yang called him in.

“Thank you very much, sir!” Feng Zhengwei quickly kowtowed three times, then got up and followed the steward, Old Zhang, out.

What worried Lin Yang most was, if history truly changed, what would the future he belonged to become?

It was because they arrived at Shanhaiguan around noon. Chen Junde was still groggy with sleep—before he dozed off, he saw Wei Xiang’er leading a group out shopping. Judging by her pace and the time he slept, it should be about time for dinner, hence his question above.

Hou Dashan’s Heavy Artillery Battalion also opened fire on the Japanese tank regiment. The battalion was equipped mainly with coastal guns—all German 105mm howitzers. Their destructive power was immense; within ten meters, a tank could be overturned by their blasts.

Zou Yin suddenly slapped the table, earning a glance from Qin Bingyue, who sat at the same table, but she said nothing.

The latter immediately cast a glance at “Uncle Hei,” signaling with her eyes: don’t tell the truth, don’t tell the truth.

The third group was Yan Ning and his companions, who had been hampered from the very beginning. Now, the team had left them far behind. If nothing unexpected happened, even if they made it to Hidden Moon Island, they would certainly rank outside the top two hundred and have no hope of entering the Hidden Moon Palace.

Suddenly, Morigen fell silent. Hong Jun sensed something was wrong too. A gust of wind swept by, and something seemed to rustle softly all around.

“Weren’t you looking for her?” Lin Raorao asked. She herself had been approached by Long Qing. In her opinion, her senior sister was far more outstanding than she was, so surely the master had sought her out, too.

Long Qing’s methods had been so sinister that they had to bolster each other’s courage just to confront him together.

“Uncle Yi, don’t worry. Cousin Ran won’t be in any danger; he’ll always turn misfortune into blessing.” Cheng Qingyuan didn’t want Li Yi to keep worrying and revealed a bit of what she knew. Uncle Yi was clever—once he understood, everything would be fine.

Chen Chumo had no new drug in development. He had merely fabricated that story to extract the old professor’s research achievements.

“Get lost! How dare you meddle in White Wolf Gang’s business?” The young man with yellow hair turned and glared fiercely at the manager, his sinister eyes carrying a wolfish intensity. The restaurant manager instinctively took two steps back under his gaze.

Chen Chumo could not be called a bad man, but he was no saint either. Many coveted the gold award, and Chen Chumo didn’t believe no one would try to bribe the judges.

Zhou Houming rubbed his head and adjusted his hair, inwardly lamenting. His master was growing more violent, always slapping people’s heads. His freshly styled hair was probably ruined.

“If I’m not mistaken, you already have a confidante, right? What’s this—are you interested in me?” Jin Xiyao asked.

At least, facing trouble, he wouldn’t be completely anxious or at a loss anymore. The road from Anzhou City to Anshui County would not be peaceful.

Ning Qing’s words had made clear the strength of the opposing force, but to devise a countermeasure in such haste was nearly impossible. For a moment, his brow furrowed and he fell silent.
