Chapter 82: What Makes You Think You Deserve the Same as Me?

She had agonized over it countless times: if she hadn’t, for her own selfish reasons, kicked that car off the iron bridge, would her benefactor still be alive and well? She also wondered why someone as wicked as Wen Yuxin could be stopped by a mere branch, while good people never even got a chance at survival.

“No!” Xu Yu was jolted awake once more by the image of a blood-soaked corpse, and after that, she could no longer sleep.

With her mind weighed down by heavy matters, she...

At this point in his story, Li Longfei turned to look back and saw that Rong’er, lying on the grass bed, seemed to be smiling. So he smiled as well, convinced that Rong’er understood what he was saying, that she could share in his feelings.

“Tomorrow is a long road... yet I fear there aren’t so many tomorrows left,” Shangguan Rong’er said softly.

Toffee kicked off Ouyang Pengcheng’s shoulders, soared into the air, and unleashed a gust of icy rain from her mouth. The rain rapidly solidified, forming a wall of ice, separating the tide of spiders from Ouyang Pengcheng and his companions.

“Of course I trust you, but I cannot trust those around you. How is the situation with Rong Yalan being handled?” Milhao asked uneasily.

“Let everyone speak. What course of action should we take now?” The speaker was still the Deputy Director of the Imperial Homeland Defense Bureau. Though he would rather play the role of the enigmatic strategist, as the meeting’s host he had to guide its proceedings.

“Do you wonder why my heart is divided?” The voice, seeing that Feng Liuzi was silent, pressed the question again.

“Hmph, those trapped inside this formation are our living targets. Prepare to die…” After saying this, Master Pengjun impatiently waved his hand. For someone as well-mannered as he, it was distasteful to bicker with the vulgar, so he decisively issued the order to attack.

“Dad, Dad! You looked so cool and handsome on TV! When I go to school in a couple of days, I’ll definitely be the envy of everyone!” Qiyu grinned at her father.

Before Su Yun could reply, Madam Cao was startled and hastily scolded, “Quick, pull Fourth Lady away! This is hardly proper.” As she spoke, she signaled to two maids at her side, who hurried forward to pry Su Huiniang’s hands off Su Yun’s skirt and led her away.

Turning back, I saw that behind us was now completely ablaze with blue fire, lighting up the darkness and filling the entire floor with the ominous fluttering of dragonfly wings. The sound was terrifying; anyone with a fear of dense clusters would likely have been petrified at the sight of all those dragonflies.

“Quiet! Damn it!” the Japanese soldier barked as he left. Outside, a loud shout rang out: “Reporting, sir! They tried to make trouble just now, but we’ve suppressed it.”

Madam Zhang’s heart ached. No matter how many mistakes her son had made, he was her own flesh and blood. To see him so dejected pained her deeply, so she decided to go plead with Fei Jingyue herself.

With Biyu’s words, the scattered fragments flashing through her mind began to piece themselves together—perhaps they were memories of the body’s original owner. In any case, everything surged over her like a tidal wave.

Louis nodded again, then slid down the rope he had climbed up earlier. Before long, the iron hook on the windowsill was withdrawn, and his figure vanished into the night.

Meanwhile, due to a moment’s carelessness, Tu You let the enemy get close. No longer able to dispatch them as effortlessly as before, her face darkened. She was forced to shift her footing as she drew her sword again. Amidst a spray of crimson, she slew every last snow python.

“Long live!” The surrounding zombies shouted louder than before, their voices so resounding that the very dome of the hall trembled.

The island nation’s officers quickly stepped in to break up the fight. Indeed, their words were tough, but all they did was intervene—none dared actually lay a hand on the three American officers.
