116. The Token (Two-in-One)

Believing that Pei Xiunian is capable is one thing, but worrying about his safety is quite another.

Meng Qingyuan sat on a soft divan, holding a bowl of goji berry and lotus seed soup. As she spooned it into her mouth to suppress a lingering, peculiar aftertaste, she drifted into deep thought.

On this journey, Pei Xiunian had ventured into the world of the jianghu. Setting aside the situation in Yangzhou or the conditions in other provinces, the very path he traveled to reach Yangzhou was fraught with peril.

Pei Xiunian—

Soon after, Liu Ruhua stepped out. With a gentle tap of her crimson-nailed finger against his head, those dull, clouded eyes suddenly grew vivid and alert, as if coming to life. He looked exactly like Luo Da, as if he had stepped straight out of a portrait. Though there was an underlying sense of discordance, it was something only someone close to him might notice.

On the side, Sejuani bypassed Alistar to land a basic attack on Vayne, and a layer of icy passive stacks instantly appeared on Vayne.

He stepped upon the Mystic Gate, moving in a peculiar, rhythmic fashion reminiscent of the Eight Trigrams and Four Symbols. Suddenly, four oil lamps ignited on the ground, illuminating his surroundings.

"Then what should we do?" Chen Long seemed to realize the gravity of the situation, his tone growing slightly heavy.

The more constrained and helpless Lu Chen felt, the more bold and overbearing Zhao Fanghua became. With an increasingly reckless air, she spoke with a half-smile.

"Then let's just finish them off. We have so many people; we don't need these indigenous folk anyway. They are useless," Long Teng said viciously.

He slowly crawled out of the cave entrance. The air was still thick with a scent of decay, causing all signs of ominous portents to slow down.

It was precisely because this underground laboratory was funded by the Bo family, and most of the equipment inside had been left behind by Bo Xiuyao, that Principal Zhou had not recorded Yun Qing's information.

"Hmph! It’s not just me—everyone in the entire Imperial Capital knows about it!" Consort Tong clutched her chest, panting with rage as she scolded him.

No sooner had the two closed the door than, as luck would have it, the sound of a door opening echoed from the room right next door.

They exchanged a few more pleasantries before preparing to part ways, but suddenly, a fierce gale began to howl. Gust after gust whipped up a sky full of snowflakes, the dark clouds on the horizon became clearly visible, and the sky began to darken before their very eyes.

The wild flora trembled in terror, as if too weak to bear the weight of their own branches, shedding withered, jagged leaves day by day until they stood increasingly bare.

The wind whistled in his ears, and with a final dull thud, Banner crashed into the ground, shattering the concrete and sending shards of cement flying in every direction.

The people below had been chatting animatedly, but the moment they saw Fei Yang descend, they immediately fell silent, returning to their meals and amusements.

Perhaps finding the peach delicious, the creature ate with even greater delight. In no time, it had devoured every bit on the plate. Seeing this, Ye Yun curled her lips; she calculated that the time should be about right.

One has to acknowledge the power of fate. In the fishing village, Liu Zichen had disliked Lu Jing so much, yet once they reached City D, fate orchestrated for them to be together again, and inexplicably, the two grew closer and closer.

"Impossible." After saying this, Chen Feng headed back toward the way he had entered, only to find that there was no entrance at all—nothing but smooth, sheer cliffs stretching up into the clouds. Without mastery of flight-based secret arts, it was impossible to climb up.

Shiguruma Xiang refused to yield, pressing one hand against the ground to keep from falling. Though his other hand was pinned by Tendou Souji, Shiguruma Xiang used his grounded hand as a pivot and pulled with all his might.

I had thought that after experiencing so much, she would have collapsed or gone half-mad. Who would have expected that, even while pregnant, she could still act so brazenly? It was truly impressive.

Suppressing the terrifying speculation in her heart, Ke Lu said earnestly, "Your current strength is already at the pinnacle among human trainers, but I hope you will continue to remain in the shadows. Do not let him know of your existence under any circumstances."

When Ling Zhou-tian saw the herb that had appeared in his hand, he simply tossed it into the room and walked out. Although the sleeping powder had no effect on him—his mental strength having long since surpassed 100—he simply could not bear to watch such a salacious scene.
