Volume 1, Chapter 33: Can't You Just Endure It?

"Who pawned this? Is it a dead pledge or a live one?" The proprietor of the Huimin Pawnshop held up an exquisitely crafted silver collar and a pair of small silver bracelets, clearly meant for a child, against the daylight. As he squinted, his eyes suddenly widened, flashing with a sharp, piercing glint.

Han Yaoguang had witnessed the Four Symbols Convergence Technique once before, and he had been stunned by its profound and immense power. Unfortunately, his mastery of secret arts was not yet sufficient to sustain such an immense technique; not only was he incapable of it, but even his master was not.

"I heard something big happened in town!" Stone had barely approached before blurting this out, his chubby face looking rather grave.

"Brother Ye... please, don't be like this..." Murong Qingwan grew increasingly panicked. This version of Xiao Yuye terrified her. She struggled even harder, but his arms held her like iron pincers; she could not break free. Her eyes, already dry, instantly welled up with tears that spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks.

The Moon Angel was the only one who pulled me out of the darkness before I was consumed, preventing me from dying in that void.

When Fang Yuqi mentioned the matter of time reversal, her face turned deathly pale, and her palms subconsciously tightened.

The Lin household sent a steward to collect them, bringing along several carts that looked unremarkable but were sturdy and secure. After the two parties exchanged greetings, Song Ruyu keenly noticed a youth in fine robes among those who had come to meet them. He appeared to be of the same age as him, and everyone addressed him as the "Second Young Master."

Yet, in the dead of night, she would always feel as if she had forgotten something of vital importance.

Now, seeing Rongrong, who looked even easier to bully than her own Ningning, Tang Ning'an could not help but reach out to pinch the girl's cheeks.

The beastmen were gradually closing in on Ya Lei and Ya Si Lan, while Ya Lei carried Ya Si Lan on his back, preparing to confront the beasts' assault.

"A man must never say he can't!" Aimo turned his head, a strange smile appearing on his ugly face, seemingly unbothered by the countless magical beasts ahead.

When he mentioned the matter, Lian Liaoqing stated that ever since their visit to the courthouse and the instructions Qi Xuan had left behind, he had cut off all contact with her.

*Whoosh.* In the nick of time, Aimo instantly burst forth with the wind-element energy within his body. A cyan domain immediately appeared around him. At the same moment, the light sword struck his domain with tremendous force, and Aimo felt an intense, destructive power exerting pressure upon it.

The great tree on my shoulder finally began to retract—ten zhang, five zhang, three zhang, one zhang... Suddenly, I squeezed my eyes shut. My ocular power was completely exhausted, and the tree began to grow again: two zhang, three zhang. All my previous efforts were on the verge of being wasted.

It was truly magical; with just a light tap, ripples like those on water appeared on the screen. The image seemed to come to life, appearing in 3D, yet Yang Chao still could not log into the Battle.net platform, nor did any login interface appear.

These two words struck Yang Chao like a heavy blow, causing his heart to tremble, but in the end, he could say nothing.

Aimo did not answer, instead pulling his black cloak around himself. A cold wind blew, fluttering the hem of his dark garment.

Afterward, Yang Chao turned back with confidence. This time, no accidents occurred, for he had carefully examined the Bat Rider's equipment and noted there were no life-saving items. The Bat Rider was now separated from his teammates, meaning no one could come to his rescue.

Past the Naihe Bridge lay the realm of the Ten Kings of Hell. Sure enough, at the bridgehead stood the Stone of Looking Home, where ghosts could take one last look, many weeping uncontrollably. The various scenes were like a collection of human tragedies.

Before dusk had fallen, Du Xi began pacing outside Zi Garden. A-Lai, who was guarding the gate, felt dizzy from watching him, yet he dared not utter a single complaint.

Nan Gongjin’s hand, just about to grasp a branch, suddenly lost its strength and missed. Sliding further down, he finally managed to catch a branch on the cliff's edge with his other hand.

After hearing Gu Hongxuan’s words, Bai Yufeng became even more determined not to let things escalate. He understood perfectly well that with his current strength, he was in no position to truly become an enemy of the Black God Platform.

Hearing Chu Xuan’s words, Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong both raised their brows. Imagining the sight of thousands of Super Saiyans lined up in their minds, they felt a strange, tingling sensation.

This was a mundane affair, and Ye Qingyan and Jun Mochen were already accustomed to it, yet to others, it was still somewhat shocking.

"This... I only care about the objective; the rest is none of my concern," Nan Gong Nayue said after a brief hesitation.

On second thought, it was true. The prominent figures in the imperial court all knew about the competition; why would they be jealous over the profits of a small shop for a month or two?

After sending the text message, Li Shu turned off her phone and tossed it aside. Clutching her knees, she wept silently in the dark.

She had originally come to provoke Long Yiyao and make her uncomfortable, but she ended up being the one infuriated before things had even begun.

Only when on the verge of death and departure does one understand the meaning of regret. She regretted provoking the Qingluan Clan, leading to her own demise and dissipation.

Yang Mitao frowned. Being taken advantage of so suddenly naturally left her unhappy. Just as she was about to kick Xu Xiao, he suddenly embraced her, his expression shamelessly stubborn, clearly with no intention of letting go.

After much thought, I decided to take He Houyi and Pi Dou with me. The old man would not completely burn bridges with me until he obtained what he wanted—a point proven by our previous clashes—so they would be safe here for the next fifteen days.
