Chapter 53: Weren't You Going to Keep Your Head Down?

Shen Liangyan and her mother arrived at the Wen family home together, bringing with them the finalized list of betrothal gifts. Wen Han was not working that day, and she had also given Xu Yu a day off. Xu Yu hid upstairs, acutely aware of everything happening below. She sent the Wen residence address to Jing Li, who replied almost immediately: “Don’t worry, I’ll be there within ten minutes.”

Recently, Jing Li had done a great deal of homework, and had even considered speaking to Shen’s mother herself, afraid that anything might go wrong with the one she loved. Xun Yi, anxious lest anything really happen, gritted his teeth and poured a continuous stream of spiritual energy into her body. Fortunately, Qu Qingran and the others were supporting them from behind, or the two of them would have been completely drained at once.

The Sea Dragon feigned anger: “Who are you saying thinks with his lower body? Let me show you what I can do.” As he spoke, he tried to pounce again. But this time, he did not succeed. Though he possessed the miraculous skill of Carefree Roaming, his cultivation was still far inferior to Tianqin’s, and her barrier kept him firmly at bay.

On one hand, Wei Suo had been feeling quite good lately; on the other, he also feared that You Fang’s promises were false, and that not only would he not reap any benefits, but he might even be eliminated along with him afterward. Thus, he hesitated, sending no further messages. Little did he imagine that You Fang had already come to his door.

Technology has truly advanced. The phone I used before still had buttons, but now everything is touchscreen. There are all kinds, astonishingly high-tech.

Even with two top experts, Professor and Conn, overseeing things, the Finan faction was unlikely to suffer much.

Yin Qi began to circle her, continuing his talk, his voice seeming to come from all directions, impossible to block out as it wormed its way deep into her mind.

“Wait, Boss Han… I’ll tell you everything.” Boss Chen, resigned, briefly explained the situation.

Xun Yi held the intercepted Water Mirage Spirit in his arms, his touch on its head somewhat threatening. He lowered his gaze to the pink bubble in his arms, his dangerous eyes tinged with a hint of jealousy.

From Eevee’s tone, it seemed this so-called Council of Elders really did hold significant status, and apparently had some influence even among the elves.

They had no plans to move and still stayed at Meiling Villa. Tomorrow, Hua Youxian would make the effort to drive them to Qingyunpu and pick them up afterward.

The Fire God spat out a tongue of flame, instantly boring a gaping hole in the bottom of the warship. The river water surged in, forcing the people inside to abandon ship, jumping into the water like dumplings dropped into a pot.

There were things she had considered, but seeing Xiang Shang in person brought such joy and excitement that she could not bear to think of anything else.

“Master, it’s all right, the demons inside have already been wiped out by your old Sun!” After searching inside the statue for a while and finding nothing unusual, Sun Wukong flew back.

However, for Jian Wu, Gu Fangqiong, and the other top four experts, the loss of vitality from this battle was clearly much more severe than last time. Now, only about forty percent of their life force remained.

Throughout human history, there were only a few truly dark eras, but after each one, new powers always rose up to become giants.

Blade Overlord was a middle-aged man with a bristling beard, a faint aura of authority emanating from him.

Danica shook her head, her golden-red hair swaying gently down her back. Her almond-shaped eyes remained fixed on Kaithra’s deep blue gaze. “I understand you,” Danica said softly.

Modric Carl did not object. He had grown up in the Country of Snow, and knew well how dramatically and swiftly the seasons could shift in this northernmost land. He too had noticed the signs: the air was growing colder, and the wind had changed direction, now blowing more from the northwest, bringing chill from the drifting ice seas.
