Chapter 31: Who Are You Going to Sleep With?
The evening of the second day after Ming Zilu was discharged from the hospital, Guan Yueyue, fresh from a shower, lay comfortably on a large, soft bed. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Shen Zhi: "I'm in bed. Want to join me, Mr. Shen?"
There was no reply.
Guan Yueyue checked the time; it was already eleven o'clock at night.
She assumed Shen Zhi had fallen asleep and missed the message, but to her surprise, the phone vibrated a moment later...
"Dean Chi, we meet again." Ning Bo offered a polite smile, though it was merely a gesture of social etiquette.
Ning Haoran muttered something under his breath as he continued his massage, though his gaze remained fixed on the thatched cottage halfway up the mountain.
Just as Ryuji Kuroki hesitated about whether he should say something, Kaori brushed past him and headed into the bathroom, which made Ryuji Kuroki heave a sigh of relief.
"Thank you; this is payment for the meal." Shuten-doji sniffed the air, looking quite satisfied, and then a stream of sake flowed from his gourd into the bottle Ryuji Kuroki had placed on the table.
Fifth to tenth place: five thousand spirit stones, one low-grade human-tier spell, and two mid-grade magical artifacts.
Regardless of the fact that those people did not know they were killing a prince of the current dynasty, the mere fact that they had driven Ling Xiao to such a state and caused Ling Qingwan such grief meant they deserved to die.
Wan Shou remained silent, watching as Feng Li sat crouched there, acting as if nothing were amiss, using his blade to pierce the muscular wall near the throat of the giant fish.
Shiro Nagakusa clearly realized the same thing; before the first elite soldier who had burst through the wall could even stand up, he had already rolled behind a fish tank for cover.
The speaker possessed a prosthetic eye from Kirus, which had now extended three or four centimeters from its socket, tracking the movement of Tang Ji's convoy.
The three of them fought with extreme measures, sparing no effort to protect themselves. Flowers of lightning erupted from the flames, seemingly endless, as if the fire itself had transformed into blossoms of thunder. It was terrifying. The power of these lightning flowers was immense; each one that exploded was equivalent to a strike from a True Immortal cultivator—infinitely destructive.
Seeing Yang Xiu take a step back, the students marveled at the power of Zhang Mingkai's strike. Their eyes brightened, assuming that since Yang Xiu was now on the defensive, he would surely resort to using a spirit treasure.
Yang Xiu changed his attacking style, suddenly leaping into the air and spinning his body horizontally. With a swift motion, he swung his long sword in a 180-degree arc, bringing it crashing down in the wake of his rotation.
Upon arriving at the hotel, He Si-jia changed her clothes. Since her wounds could not get wet, she was unable to take a shower and had to settle for simply washing her face and brushing her teeth.
These were the signature techniques that Cheng Yu was famous for, which was why the gentleman had previously mentioned that this must be the advantage of having three souls coexisting.
She had thought she could say those words with a sense of calm detachment. Yet, as they actually left her lips, she felt a heart-wrenching pain. Her eyes, which had been dry just moments before, were now veiled in a damp mist.
"I don't feel any pain, so why are you looking at me with teary eyes?" The man turned his back to her dismissively, refusing to let her see his face.
"It's me! Cheng Song! Get dressed and open the door!" Cheng Song whispered, keeping his voice low.
On the Earth Fire Plaza, Long Ziyun defeated Meng Ziqi, the Grand Elder of the Blazing Valley, and Mo Ziyi, the Grand Elder of the Main Valley. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the warriors from the Fire Lotus Valley, she swept through all the elders present from the Main Valley, the Blazing Valley, and the Scorching Sun Valley.
At this moment, War Tyrant Sovereign and Zhan Lansheng could not care less about the dignity of an Emperor, nor did they care what kind of mockery would ensue once news spread of a Third-Level Emperor and a Second-Level Emperor joining forces to deal with a Ninth-Level King.
Gordon's speed was top-tier even among the Royal Guards. Therefore, if Gordon held Alexis's speed in such high regard, it meant that Alexis was indeed exceptionally swift. However, Nina's teleportation was also terrifyingly formidable; it would be impossible to determine a winner in such a short amount of time.
