Chapter 66: Reasons for Cowardice

"So scary, so scary, so scary... You monsters, all of you, stay away from this humble Taoist priest, ahhhhh!!!"

The screaming continued with soaring pitch. Following the sound, everyone looked over and saw two slender figures sprinting wildly toward them down the road.

The tearful little Taoist priest spun a specially crafted ghost-subduing rod so fast it formed an impenetrable barrier, while all sorts of incantations and magical artifacts were hurled at the demonic entities as if they were utterly worthless.

Thus, Su Changling and the others could only watch as amidst the dazzling lights across the sky...

He did not know how long he had been drinking; the lights in the tavern became a blurry mess in his eyes, and he could no longer see anything clearly.

After the two drank a bit more wine, Yang Fan made the excuse that it was getting late and stood up to say goodbye. Golden Hair escorted Yang Fan out of the bar.

The Court of Judicial Review was a place Prince Ning could not easily meddle in. Being suspicious by nature, he assumed his recent actions had aroused suspicion and took out his anger on these people.

He rolled off the bed and pressed his ear against the door, listening intently for a moment. That pair of footsteps went downstairs and slowly left the villa.

This finally drew Director Duan's attention. Director Duan gave him a few extra glances and kept him in mind. Someone who could speak face-to-face was generally not just a bystander.

However, ever since that day, Shi Shunyi never came to the Yong'an Palace again. When they happened to cross paths in the Qingning Palace, she would only offer a polite greeting, and nothing more.

"Huh?" Xu Fan was slightly stunned. Having no background whatsoever, he had never imagined that someone behind the scenes was actually supporting him.

"Hillbilly, look at you. You were clearly my second-in-command, why on earth did you defect to that piece of dog-shit Bull-Turd? If you hadn't been foolish for a moment, you could have been living the high life with me long ago. How could you have ended up in this state today?" Badou said to the young man, his expression full of incomprehension and regret.

Ximen Yu did not even know who the strongest person in the Capital Gates was; he had simply not reached that level within the capital, and had only ever seen a single Exalted Immortal.

Bai Hongqi genuinely wished he could shrink himself into a tiny ball—the less conspicuous, the better. Ideally, the Emperor would completely overlook and forget him.

"Haha, Brother Feng jests. I was originally somewhat worried about my sister Buhui, but knowing that she is with you, I am at ease," the Great Mage said with a smile.

"Hmph! Even if it destroys the entire Kama Empire, she must be hunted down," the man in the black robe said coldly. The Clan Chief himself had given that order.

"You... when did you take it? Damned human, you are courting death." The dragon skeleton seemed completely unaware that the box within its body had been taken, looking down at its hollowed-out chest before roaring with uncontrollable fury.

Those raw jade stones displayed on the racks looked quite promising on the outside; their outer skins had been rubbed away and windows had been opened, and some had even been sliced once, with most already revealing a delightful expanse of vibrant green.

As for Zhou Yu, unable to bear the thought of his handsome face remaining in such a state, he dispatched the majority of his soldiers to search for a cure.

Shatian still stood in the distance, his body entirely free of any scorching marks. His pitch-black eyes were filled with disdain, and behind him loomed the phantom of a black leopard standing a hundred zhang tall and five hundred zhang long. Its enormous, deep purple eyes radiated supreme arrogance—an arrogance that looked down upon the heavens and the earth.

"Let's stop arguing and hear what Uncle Song has to say." Finally, the green-haired youth could no longer bear his companions' pointless debate and simply handed the decision-making power over to the eldest among them, Uncle Song. Thus, all the plant sprites turned their gaze toward Uncle Song.

Kong Renzong nodded, then pushed open the room's door. Sure enough, the interior was arranged with extreme elegance, instantly making anyone who looked at it feel completely relaxed.

"Shanming also has hair, and he even has two wives!" Mi Yaoyao burst into uproarious laughter, while Mo Su couldn't help chuckling aloud.

"How can you take all the blame upon yourself and put yourself in such danger!" Lin Changzheng disagreed entirely with Li Shi's actions.

It sounded fine, but if within three days you took any action that required a "household registration permit" of the target city, that regret pill would only serve to keep you in your original hometown, and you wouldn't get a single penny.

"I don't have any family left here. You and Auntie are the most important people to me. If you are going back, I plan to wind up my company here and go to the United States to develop my career there. Jingxuan, what do you think?" Lan Ruolin looked at him with eyes full of anticipation.

He Jingxuan did not notice the sadness in her eyes. He turned and left the room, though before departing, he still anxiously instructed Sister Feng to notify him if the high fever did not subside.

Although he was confident enough that he and his companions could bypass Zeus's Sword's inspection and successfully infiltrate their base, Li Shi had no way of ensuring whether they would all enter at the same time.

Moyu, who was basking in the sun nearby, leaped up in shock and let out a worried cry.

Lunch was shared by the three of them at a single table. Qi Qi did not say much, but her large eyes flashed with a shrewd gleam.

Why struggle so desperately? Ling Xia smiled bitterly; all of this was a debt carried over from her past life. Her previous life had been far too comfortable, which was why she now had to pay it back.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared before Pei Qinahu, holding a mechanical spear and clad in mecha armor.

"If you want to extract any clues from my mouth, you must agree to my conditions," a flash of coldness appeared in Yifeng's eyes.

"Before we reach the destination, don't talk nonsense," Machte instructed, sounding as though he were speaking either to Bizui or to Luka.

On the way to Piankou Qiang and Tibetan Ethnic Township, Chen Chuliang, sitting in the off-road vehicle, had already received a call from the student leader of a Youwei Network-sponsored volunteer teaching team of university students from Beijing, currently stationed in Piankou Qiang and Tibetan Ethnic Township, Beichuan County.
