Chapter 45

Xu Xiaoxing was no longer the person she used to be. Right now, she wanted nothing else but to escape this ghost of a place as quickly as possible and make these people vanish from her world forever.

After the incident involving Xu Qin and Liu Lanxin, she had kept the domestic helper on to look after the mansion and handle the daily cleaning.

Shi Fei did not deliberately interact with Green Concentrated Phlegm Bibimbap, having vaguely sensed that the latter maintained a certain wariness toward her.

Going from hunters at the very beginning to prey in the end, the remaining Kleelians felt utterly aggrieved. To their humiliation, they were now being chased all over the place by those so-called country bumpkins from the Six Academies Alliance.

"Sister Xu Jian..." Shi Feifei's soft voice sounded, carrying a hint of naive curiosity.

The man's expression changed drastically as he rushed straight inside. Upon seeing that the locked room had been opened, he found the corpse still lying on the floor.

The moment the cotton swab touched the wound, cold sweat broke out on Fang Cheng's forehead. Under normal circumstances, he would have been yelling in pain long ago.

However, after listening to Wang Yufei's account, he felt that the ghost might actually be part of the Haunted House scenario.

She had left her down jacket behind in Gu Mo's car, and now she was wearing only a medium-thick coat. As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, she let out a sneeze.

"You could try physical methods..." Namei said faintly. Clearly, she had no way to open the hatch, but since the Japanese were able to open it, Number One presumably could as well.

In accordance with the contents and constraints of the peace treaty, the holdings of mobile suits, warships, and special technologies on both sides were objectively controlled. It seemed that peace-loving people all over the world could finally enjoy themselves and play practical jokes on others in peace on this April Fools' Day.

Yang Bingqian decided to go all the way. She made up her mind to wrong Li Yuna just this once. For the sake of her own love, she selfishly kept this "good news" to herself instead of telling Li Yuna.

If the Phantom Group planned to relocate its headquarters to another major metropolis in Country Z, say, the capital city of Beijing.

"That's not a problem, but you have to promise me one thing!" Jin Yi nodded, then whispered softly into Tang Yan's ear.

However, wasn't Alice his enemy until very recently? Putting himself in such grave mortal danger for her sake was clearly a thoroughly unworthy endeavor.

Robben's upper garment was torn into a long jagged rip, a dark bruise adorned his eye, and he was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.

Although he was kneeling, he did not lower his head. Instead, his gaze burned fiercely as he stared at the dragon banner on the altar, unlike the other Rakshasa tribesmen who looked upon the rebellious dragon in the sky with awe.

Zatel was also quite eager to have a taste of monkey wine, but getting any from Long Tianxing was absolute impossibility. One could tell just from Long Tianxing's cautious demeanor moments earlier, leaving Zatel with no choice but to rub his hands together and keep grinning broadly at Lu Chen.

So, following the progression of that plot, the question arose: after I fell into the magma, did I actually die or not, and what on earth happened afterward?

Seeing that he was no longer blocking the way, the senior deacon wanted to proceed with announcing the results. Who would have thought that just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of a dashing outer-sect male disciple leisurely strolling back from afar.

The next moment, led by Kaites, the imperial soldiers dropped to one knee one after another, paying homage in the direction of the voice, and shouted aloud with faces full of reverence and earnestness.

Within a field of vision invisible to ordinary mortals, a giant evil spirit beast—somewhat resembling a lizard in shape, yet surrounded by flames and dark red-black markings—suddenly raised its head to the heavens and let out a roar.

Fang Cheng used to be quite wayward; he fell into bad habits early on and even picked up smoking. In truth, he didn't really know how to smoke—he would just stick a cigarette roll in his mouth to put on airs. Sometimes when his pockets were empty but his props for acting cool ran out, he would run out of cigarettes.

"I disdain speaking to trash! I hope he has some self-awareness and doesn't disgrace his own master!" Fang Cheng didn't even spare Huangfu Ce a glance as he spoke to the other side.

They had no way of knowing, but deep in their hearts, they were certain that ever since the Sea Clan destroyed the Lansi Kingdom—a mighty maritime power—two thousand years ago, the Sea Clan had completely cut off all contact with humanity.

Immediately, the gazes of the other cultivators fixed upon the two of them. Those who knew showed expressions of sudden realization, while those who didn't wore a trace of perplexity.

When Wei Sheng arrived at Li Dongsheng's place, before he could even say a word, he was grabbed by Li Dongsheng and put to work as manual labor.

"Aike! It's good you're here, help me talk some sense into Sharon. Mother specifically called Sharon here to keep tabs on me. Now that I've finally managed to escape from the house, how could I possibly do as she wishes!" As Aike seemed to have come upstairs, Arisa hurriedly spoke up as if she had found reinforcements.

To thoroughly project a pitiful image, Xiao Zhirou went to the hospital today completely makeup-free, letting them have a good look at her haggard appearance.

This was the Resurrection Pill Jiang Li had obtained previously. There had been a total of three, and now, having taken one out, only two remained.

Xiao Tingze hurried over to Su Qianqian's place, only to find her wearing pajamas and weeping with red-rimmed eyes as she threw her arms around him in a tight embrace.

Perhaps out of caution, the bearded man did not mention their destination. Zhang Yijun pondered for a moment; though he was unwilling to let go of any thread of a clue right now, this sudden development filled him with suspicions, making him wonder if this might be a trap.

However... this was the North Melody of Pingkangfang, surrounded entirely by operating shops, and just a little further south were the liaison offices of various feudal towns. Even if there were dangerous characters intent on malicious deeds, they should still try to act covertly... Thinking thus, Xuanji swallowed hard, mustered her courage, and stepped toward the main gate.

"Yes, to the zoo. Sorry to trouble you, driver." Even though the snake-person looked a bit frightening, especially with that pair of unusual pupils that made one's hair stand on end and felt like trouble, she still got in.

"That means it's impossible. If that's how you want to understand it, there's nothing I can do," Jiang Li said again.

A storm raged within Araki's heart. Whether the person opposite him was the immortal master Feng Yahui or Feng Ting of the Horned Clan, neither was someone he could afford to provoke.
