Chapter 50: The Situation Has Changed

The night was as dark as ink, the wind moaned like a lament, casting an oppressive atmosphere over the entire chamber of commerce hall.

Feng Ruqing stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sharp as a torch, sweeping across the surroundings.

She sensed the undercurrents surging beneath the surface; a greater storm was brewing.

Her exquisitely beautiful face no longer bore the usual calm and ease; instead, it was marked by unprecedented gravity.

Between her finely arched brows, there was an aura of battle-hardened severity.

“I need to find Meng Hu and see if I can persuade him to join my campaign against the dark organizations and the Ling family. With Meng Hu’s support, our chances of victory will increase significantly,” Wei Feng said in a low voice.

Wu Kai nodded, then relayed the hotel location and private room number to Wang Xuan, giving some final instructions before ending the call.

Dragging his weary body, Fang Ze focused inward on his dantian. The scene there was spectacular: spirals of blue, red, yellow, blue, and white qi forming a perfect circle. A silver vortex spun independently within.

“My name is Lu Mingfei,” he said. Upon hearing the name Baize, he was sure Baize was not his target. Though Baize was a strange beast, it was unrelated to the Classic of Mountains and Seas—clearly one of the “homogeneous beasts from another world” described in the mission.

Qiong Qiong’s vibrant personality reemerged at this moment; her eyes shone as brightly as the moon, holding a clear pool of autumn water within. Her fragrance was intoxicating.

Mr. Dagu had once said that before becoming Ultraman Tiga, he was just an ordinary person without special abilities. Yet, as a top elite in the “Victory Squad,” he had forged formidable strength through rigorous training.

By now, the activity radius of those evil creatures had expanded several times over. Perhaps because of their weaker strength, the dark realm's restraints on them had loosened, as evidenced by a ghoul appearing before Duoluo and the others.

As rows of data scrolled by, Nina’s expression grew serious. Finally, she pressed the Enter key, and the massive suspended screen displayed a vivid, colorful genetic map.

On the ground, the plague demon’s face twisted in shock. With a shrill cry, he forcefully hurled the plague demon monkey he held as if casting away a red-hot iron.

Although Gu Yunze had refused to accept him as a disciple, thus he could not call him “Master,” Bai Yuechu still addressed him respectfully as “you,” for he was to teach him the mystical arts.

On the control room’s monitor, the giant ape’s forehead eye emitted a powerful suction force, its right palm still poised to grasp. Suddenly, a rumbling erupted from within. The bomb detonated; the giant ape’s seven orifices bled, and hot brain matter oozed from its hollow eye sockets.

For a moment, even the second elder of the Garlic Clan, who had mocked Tu Feng earlier, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. Tu Feng now seemed ominously terrifying.

Yuan Mengmeng could only vaguely sense that they were capturing a very bad person, knowing nothing else.

Lu Ning led the two nearby, whispering some instructions. From afar, Cheng Ze and the young man’s expressions shifted repeatedly, but they showed no signs of distress.

He had thought he could inform his celestial wife before leaving, but the character in the game logged off and disappeared entirely for the time being. What if his celestial wife worried?

Recalling the first time he learned about music with everyone, he decided to try writing songs. This would make the trip worthwhile. He remembered watching Xi Yuming and others write lyrics before; Ruan Xiyao thought she might as well revise her own lyrics to match theirs.

Just kidding—there’s no way she could accompany them. Losing such things would be embarrassing. Where would the big boss’s dignity go? What about her image?

At once, Lu Ning drew an ice-forged longsword from her hand, sharp footsteps echoing nearby. The people around had vanished; she couldn’t see anyone but could hear their sounds clearly in the dead silence.

Those words, almost like a confession, made Su Zhezhe’s face flush instantly, her ears tinged with a faint pink. Embarrassed, she tried to turn away.

Ruan Xiyao had returned some time ago, but every moment was filled with unfinished tasks. Now, finally rested, he thought it was time to seek her out.

During the gathering, Chu Yun deliberately said he planned to stay a few more days to explore the place properly. Bai Jingzhai was momentarily stunned but then smiled in agreement.

Shili Mei Company also distributed material benefits during the traditional Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this moment, Liu Hao wore a puzzled expression but could no longer dwell on it; he simply followed swiftly.

Neither of the two knew their brother was already being monitored by higher-ups. The Li Medical Equipment Group was about to face a catastrophe.

After speaking, Song Qian gazed at Chu Yun with eyes full of affection, a blush instantly coloring her cheeks.

Mu Mu said again, “Dad, I still need to buy toothpaste for Grandma.” Grandma used herbal toothpaste, different from theirs.

Before Wang Qiang finished speaking, a sharp pain struck his abdomen, and he found himself flying backward.

After respectfully kowtowing three times, Tai Bai Jinxing shakily rose and retreated. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother exchanged a glance, puzzled.

She indeed felt somewhat uneasy; after all, Wei Xiaomei was already quite entangled, and now Li Anqi’s proactive words today would only bring more trouble in the future.
