Volume 1, Chapter 39: The Affectedly Sweet-Voiced Shen Zhiyi

Zhang Ning’s features were quite refined to begin with. Coupled with the slight sheen of moisture on his cheeks from his hurried run—though he was not quite sweating—and the sincerity in his eyes, he possessed an undeniable charm.

A massive projection suddenly appeared before Xiao Yao, displaying several thousand characters. Xiao Yao read through it carefully and gained a rough understanding.

Furthermore, many people he had encountered in his lifetime who had long since passed away or died had not appeared in the Underworld.

When Zhao Shiyan met his cousin, Zhao Nan, he saw that the man remained as restrained and composed as ever. It seemed the recent grand events had not made him arrogant, and Zhao Shiyan could not help but feel a surge of admiration.

Xu Wanying was particularly skeptical. Her grandmother had constantly raved about a young miracle doctor on the street of traditional Chinese medicine shops, but Xu Wanying simply did not believe it. She assumed it was just another charlatan; how could a miracle doctor be so young, given that the profession relied so heavily on accumulated experience?

"Stop acting up. Get these grilled and send them over to Young Master Zhou," Chen Ming said impatiently.

The first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to step back a few paces, avoiding any contact with his Sixth Master.

He clicked on the official announcement, which contained no credible information, thinking to himself: Every night, battles break out in this city, leaving behind messes that are difficult to clean up. I truly pity those who, unaware of the truth, are still left to handle the aftermath.

From a Buddhist perspective, "shattering the void" means attaining Buddhahood and sainthood, reaching the bliss of the other shore.

Although these techniques were not useless to him—after all, they could be integrated into the "Six Divine Arts" to enhance its versatility—they were not his primary focus.

Further away lay the lush green fields and the golf course; these beautiful, exotic landscapes were things Li Aichuan would never forget.

In the distance, the faint sound of firecrackers drifted over from Erxiu City. One could almost hear the carefree laughter of children or the bustling sounds of families preparing to host friends and relatives.

Wolf, experienced and cunning, naturally knew that the several otherworldly powerhouses currently tracking his movements might not be the only ones present in the capital of the Ater Empire.

Because of the "employer's" orders, none of Michael's subordinates had gone to the front lines to seek military merit.

They had all witnessed Ye Tian's strength; he was an incredibly formidable protector, and following him was undoubtedly safer than being on their own.

Lin Yu struggled as he was dragged down from the air by vines, only having enough time to cast a hurried glance in Gu Lei's direction.

An ordinary Necromancer, even a first-tier one, could easily summon a dozen or twenty undead cannon fodder once they reached level sixty and mastered all the intermediate-level summoning skills.

The next day, the group of demons dispersed after the alcohol wore off, while Song Yangzi accompanied Bai Xuening and the panda Afu toward the Floating Cloud Cave.

Deciding to listen casually, Li Yi took Wan Qiang and picked a table by the window to sit down.

"Our mercenaries and the core of our player army are still stationed in the Dikewei Kingdom. After all, this is a prime time to pursue the dungeon forces, and we have ways to earn large amounts of military merit; we cannot let this opportunity go to waste."

She felt a hint of regret. There were only two months left until the end of the year, and after that would come the vibrant, flower-filled spring, when there would be no more snow to use for cooling.

"Tch, what is it? You just wanted my WeChat ID, right? Did you have to be so serious about it?" Qing Ying smiled and took out her phone.

After Lu Fuyan neutralized the threat posed by the masked man, Rodney, the tasks provided under the [Political Action] sub-directory actually corresponded perfectly to the various dilemmas he was currently desperate to resolve.

Hearing his master’s words, he immediately quieted down, though he still glared at the man, ready to react should he make any move.

Later, as times changed, he heard people say that the lands overseas were inhabited by barbarians, but since the languages were different, he could never glean more information from the common folk.

"No objections." I sat on the sofa, mindlessly flipping through TV channels with the remote, and replied indifferently. However, when I switched to the Shudu Finance Channel, a piece of breaking financial news caught my attention.

The stroke of luck amidst the misfortune was that she had kept the talisman paper on her person rather than in her storage bag; otherwise, she would not have been able to retrieve it now.

"This is where Tang Xiaojia was born and raised..." Qing Ying opened the window and took a deep breath.

Lu Fuyan gave Old Wu a subtle thumbs-up. Then, he swept his gaze across Mr. Zhou and his party.

The golden fire dragon and the black light collided violently. Sparks of fire burst forth, and the black light was significantly scorched and weakened, but the impact of the two forces left a deep crater in the ground, nearly a hundred meters in diameter.

Although everyone with some interest in tennis knows how to hold a racket, Cai Naizi was different. In the original story, she always appeared to be a frail and delicate girl.

After calming his excitement, Wang Ying stared at his final lottery chance, hoping for another grand prize like the Force.

"Kill!" Zhu Hong dared not let that terrifying gaze linger, and directly controlled the chaos, which dared not move due to the Emperor's true spirit, to forcefully suppress the enemy!

"Is this the strength of a captain of an affiliate pirate crew under the Cloud God Pirates?" A question sprouted in their minds.

Kai Kai lay flat on the ground, prostrate. If not for the foam mat laid out earlier, he would have knocked his teeth out in that single moment.

This mercenary system was indeed very convenient; as long as you paid, things got done, and the hunters didn't seem interested in occupying the local territory.

Amidst the soldiers' screams, everyone turned to look. When they saw the sky in that direction, they were as if struck by a paralyzing spell, standing there completely stunned.

Resisting the urge to beat the system, Lin Feng opened the system inventory and saw the rewards the system had mentioned.

Wang Leshui played as if he were in a game, tilting his head to dodge a lethal spear tip. As the strands of his hair drifted down, he slashed with his blade and charged toward the next target.

He remembered that in the original work, Sanada of Rikkaidai seemed to have mastered a high-level tennis move called the "Invisible Swing." It was an evolution of his signature "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" technique—the "Swift as Wind"—which utilized the immense explosive power of his right hand to strike an ultra-high-speed serve.

Ji Feng was truly unwilling to give up. It wasn't that he felt bad about the hundreds of millions, but if he couldn't win, his mission would fail. So, he gritted his teeth and decided to try one more time.

For a moment, the three adults looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say. Zhang Xiao could swear this was the most awkward moment in his history of picking up women—no exceptions.

I couldn't hear any movement, but time felt like it was passing agonizingly slowly. While I looked forward to seeing the one-eyed men clash with them, the thought that they might all be wiped out if they entered made my head ache. For a moment, I didn't even know which side I wanted to win.
