Volume One, Chapter 33: She Won’t Come to See You

“Keep hidden, don’t let your head show!” Su Mubai scolded the curious Da Bai peeking from the opposite side.

The biting cold and fierce gale at this altitude had long been completely blocked and dispersed by Thunder Hawk and Leng Youhan.

He was currently troubled over where to stay. With Lias’s help, daily life was now assured.

If possible, he did not wish to alter Christian doctrine; it was God’s will. Even the Holy Father must be cautious when interpreting the faith.

“Shengshi, you’ve misunderstood—no!” Before Ji Liunian could finish explaining, Shengshi kicked Cui Shuncheng away with full force. Cui’s entire body flew backward, crashing into a nearby liquor cabinet, shattering the glass.

Lu Qixin, Wu Xiaojing, and others activated their shields fully and followed Sun Fengzhao closely, charging into the forbidden zone without hesitation. Though some were less powerful, they gritted their teeth and kept pace.

“Even a leader wouldn’t send their own people to die like this, would they? Otherwise, they would surely rebel!” Leng Ningxue frowned and said.

Tie Xiang thought silently, “I never realized you were such an internationalist, so damn benevolent.” Without a word, he pressed forward.

Like fleeing from a raging flood, Liunian ran desperately, unsure how long she had been running. She dared not stop because exhaustion caused her legs to weaken, and once she did, she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Deputy Commander Aguli of the Youquan Army sat astride a fierce jet-black warhorse, towering above the kneeling prisoners of war from the Yunyan Empire, a cold sneer curling his lips.

When Tian Tian and Tian Rou finished tidying up and returned inside, they heard Mrs. Li speaking. Approaching their parents’ room, they saw Mrs. Li sitting by their mother’s bedside, though how long she had been there was unclear.

Now, the Hao family was merely well-known in Taihe County, yet Hao Yu had already taken this path, being thoroughly deceived by several swindlers. If the family’s fortunes grew larger, who knew how many more tricksters might come to cheat them.

This pleased Mother Ding greatly. Since the children had grown up, they no longer shared her bed. That night, Mother Ding chattered to Ding Yezi for quite some time until he explained he had to rise early to make tofu the next day. Only then did she relent and go to sleep contentedly.

The two police officers, fleeing in disarray, suddenly saw the director’s office. Hearing loud thuds from within, they were startled, fearing the director was angry, and dared not breathe.

The deafening clamor was unrelenting, nearly overwhelming. Wanlong Town was only three times the size of Xuejia Village, but the population had multiplied a hundredfold. No wonder such a commotion had arisen.

Besides my pounding heart, I heard nothing. I saw Zhou Yi struggling against the ‘undead’ besieging him, anxiously glancing my way. His lips moved, but I heard nothing.

Tossing and turning for days, I remained hesitant, troubled by this matter. Each day I worked absentmindedly, prone to mistakes.

A fourth-tier psychic, and before being crippled, he wielded both mental and earth-element powers—a valued figure in the Houtu Sect.

After speaking, the child turned to leave. Tian Tian immediately drew back, preparing to dash behind a nearby large tree to hide, when Tian Rou’s slightly urgent voice reached her.

“Keep going! Lina! Strive on! Lina! A bright tomorrow lies just ahead!” she shouted joyfully.

“The parties have fifteen minutes to prepare, with one day allotted for pill refinement. You may begin,” Elder Zhenli finally said, then fell silent.

Yuan Bin’s bleeding was relentless. Yang Biao was beaten until his body was covered in blood, with bones in his hands and feet broken, barely able to move.

To Gao Ba and his group, Chu Xinghan’s time was precious. With such talent, every moment was invaluable. If he devoted all his time to cultivation, describing his progress as meteoric would be no exaggeration.

A portly boss burst inside, accompanied by the grand hall manager of the Shengshi Dynasty.

Sun Shining listened, entranced, expecting him to continue speaking. His breath was warm and steady. She feared waking him, intending to turn over later, but before she could, she too fell asleep.

Under the astonished gazes of many subordinates, Zhao Shun now acted like a lapdog, shamelessly currying favor with Xu Fan.

Xia Zheng moved without hesitation, ignoring He Bo’s words. Even if at the peak of the Jietai Realm or half a step to Nirvana, Xia Zheng would kill without mercy.

“I said my eye for talent is excellent, finding such a good child for Nian’er,” An Yanyi boasted proudly.

Xia Zheng eyed the old man suspiciously. This guy didn’t even know which master’s contract he had. He wondered if he was being tricked. But since he’d taken it out, surely he wouldn’t smash it and roast it for food.

Xia’er wanted to pursue, but seeing the army outside the city collapsing under Dragon Flame assaults made him hesitate. Finally, sighing, he lowered his bow and vanished quietly.

“You must not, must not extract her soul! Stop!” Huo Xiaoran shouted desperately. But the next moment, his body convulsed, his face as terrifying as before, even worse.

Since Heng Yanlin wouldn’t say anything, Ning Ning was naturally overjoyed.

Those creatures looked possessed, like vengeful spirits. Many nurses among them were terrified out of their wits.

I approached closer and could see the dirt on her face. She wouldn’t use soap—probably because it couldn’t cleanse. Her hands bore several wounds, with traces of bandages. Sweeping the streets daily, working hard—her joints must ache terribly.
