Chapter 35: Her Blow

“Is it any use to be unwilling?” Ling Yinyin’s words struck deeply.

“You just can’t compare to your brother. You look down on yourself but think others despise you.”

His words stirred sympathy among the camp, who felt that as friends of Ye Feng, the two Fiornas shouldn’t believe that Ye Feng was a shameless scoundrel who would take advantage of others so easily.

Xiao Chen was initially stunned, then returned the kiss passionately. As Ning Xia’s hands, which had been holding his neck, suddenly reached for the half-mask on his face, she swiftly removed it and turned on the desk lamp.

It was said that the last master of the Map of Fate defied the supreme emperor of the gods and fled the divine palace, only to be ambushed and slain by the gods in a remote corner of the universe.

Si Tang chuckled, “You say that as if there’s anything I can’t handle.” After speaking, he signaled to the two bodyguards behind him. They immediately pulled out two large suitcases, opened them, and poured stacks of US dollars onto the table.

At that moment, the Beast King led around ten thousand beast soldiers out of the corpse-filled cavern in a flowing formation, charging forward relentlessly.

Sun Dasheng and Zhu Bajie had already returned to Fire Domain City, bringing Lei Mu with them.

Descending the stairs from the room, Nie Chen was in the living room, supporting himself on a wheelchair as he practiced walking. Hearing Ning Xia’s footsteps, he stopped and, with the help of a servant, sat back down in the wheelchair.

After a day spent battling two bosses, the six parted ways. Ling Xiao and three others returned to the city to restock and recuperate, while Lin Xi and the demon spirits pressed on without pause toward the Dragon Gate Inn.

Since their last visit to the Jing Emperor’s mausoleum for sightseeing, Gu Jiaqi’s health had steadily declined. According to the doctor, it was a deficiency of both qi and blood; years of scheming and hardship had drained her vitality, and she needed to recuperate in peace.

Weimen smiled and waved, summoning a table full of red ghost crystals. Though this ghost tavern was the largest in the ghost city, a meal here typically cost no more than three red ghost crystals, enough to leave you penniless.

Ling Yun came to a sudden realization after Yang Jie’s earnest advice. Captain Liu was Yang Jie’s elder brother, and Yang Jie greeted him like a family member, which made him very happy.

Though his breathing was labored and his body wracked with pain, his face wore a confused expression, as if truly innocent.

Yet if this man’s aim was the Buddhist beads she wore, why did he also take the gift Lou Yue had given her?

“Provoking me?” Zhan Qi’s smile deepened as he lightly pinched the soft flesh at her waist.

Hearing this, Xia Ziyun grabbed his left hand, twisted with force again, and dislocated it once more.

Looking at the bed, half of an ear stained with blood, the pain finally registered and she howled like a wolf.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back. A great force threw me down, and I rolled several times on the ground before realizing that Qiu Liming had leapt through the air and kicked me down. I barely avoided being swallowed by the Yao, but its nose still struck me.

Qiu Minghao selected a jasmine tea bag from the plate, tore open the wrapper, placed it in the teapot, poured hot water, and gently swirled it.

“That’s right. This trip to Shanghai, I’m determined to take down that Xue!” Wei Lai said, clenching his fist, his eyes shining with revolutionary zeal.

Even if the Ximen family hid underground, their proximity allowed them to sense each other’s presence.

Yet the more respectful Li Bai was, the more Fei Min and the others felt that Li Bai held them in high regard. The two factions already had good relations, and now with Li Bai’s demeanor, Fei Min and his group felt he understood propriety well—unlike before, when Li Bai’s responses had been noticeably cold.
