Volume One, Chapter 39: I’m About to Begin My Performance

Even a mere bite would be painful, let alone a wound as severe as this. He even had to thread a needle through flesh and bone, pulling the catgut suture through.

Xie Qingchen forced a smile, but covered as he was in red spots, it held no beauty, only horror.

It was hard to tell if it was the jarring contrast that dealt her such a visual shock, or if she was simply rendered speechless by the oppressive aura and appearance of Yun Lin.

Leaving aside how the villagers of Qi Family Village scrambled to retreat into the towering mountains behind their homes, searching for defensible terrain to hide in, let us turn our attention to Long Fei.

Even the members of the Joyous Union Sect were terrified into silence. They all resolved to keep themselves in check from now on; one could deceive, but one must never resort to force.

One had to realize that Maria and her group lived in the suburbs, where the surrounding area was a vast stretch of woods with dense undergrowth. Given Hosen’s height, he was easily obscured by the tall grass, and as soon as the impostor disguised as Hosen ducked into the brush, those outside lost sight of him.

Long Fei crouched down, first checking the man’s pupils, then moving his right index finger back and forth before the man’s eyes, before finally placing his hand on the man’s radial artery.

Gugu noted the clinic’s sign, memorized it, and then curled up in Officer Aaron’s arms, eyes narrowed in sleep.

He and Shang San’er were never fond of tea; they preferred plain, boiled water. Seeing that the tea sent over was plentiful but clearly of poor quality, they couldn’t be bothered to drink it.

"What is this? Isn’t he just a plain-looking high schooler, the same age as us?" Extraordinary Peter couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing Zio’s face.

He slumped back onto the bed, his heart turning cold, and he couldn’t help but clutch his chest, gasping for air.

"If Senior Xu Ling has truly broken the limits of the human race, then he must not die!" Wang Can felt an intense surge of excitement.

On his way back, Ye Feng clearly sensed murderous intent. Just as he expected, dozens of assassins sprang into action, and the two sides clashed fiercely. Yan Sheng watched coldly from across the way, and seeing that the battle remained deadlocked, he called for a halt.

Xiaoxiao possessed four skills: Tracer, Imprison, Defensive Barrier, and Impact. She could cast them with a flick of her wrist; there were no underlying mechanics, and the caster could neither feel the flow of spiritual power nor the formation of the spells.

She had been outmaneuvered by this youth, but as a princess, her word was law; she could not go back on it, so she would have to vent her frustration another time.

When the final piece of silver dissolved into nothingness under the eerie wind erosion, a string of data appeared on Woody’s retina, enough to stir his heart.

In the scene, Heize was still practicing with his gun. Sweat poured off him like rain, and though his hands were already bloodied, he continued to grip the weapon.

Ning Qing kept glancing at him sideways, as if trying to read his inner thoughts through his expressions.

Wang Zhen remembered clearly that in the game League of Legends, equipment was only linked to gold. As long as one had enough gold coins, even at level one, one could purchase the finest gear from the shop.

Only then did the TPC lift its external blockade, and people around the world finally learned what had happened that night.

"Hiss!" Ning Qiu couldn't help but gasp, wondering why he was so unlucky to run into such a terrifying creature.

If one were not in a life-or-death situation, willing to sacrifice oneself to protect others, how would anyone know the greatness of a soul? How could anyone sacrifice everything for another?

"Young Master Wei, I understand the firearm, cannon, gunpowder, and steel factories you mentioned, but what are these 'coal washing' and 'coking' plants for?" Xu Xianchun asked with a hint of surprise.

Yang Wei looked reluctant. He hadn't wanted to come in the first place, especially since the person inviting him was Ning Qiu. In truth, he only agreed to the mission for Ni Tingting’s sake—and, of course, for the money.

"This cooking method wasn't invented by Old Wang; someone else told him about it. Haven't you noticed that not only our battalion is eating fish today, but the entire camp is?" Li Si boasted, lifting his chin high, as if he himself had invented the recipe.

Angela had been eliminated; even if many zombies still existed in this world, he no longer needed to intervene.

His mind was in a turmoil, unsure of what to do, when suddenly a hand reached out, holding a glass of wine.

The layman watches the show, the expert watches the technique. That she could shock the True Venerable Seeking Tribulation meant her deductive abilities were far from ordinary.

Faced with his successive cruelties, I had prepared myself mentally, yet at this moment, my heart still trembled.

"Jian Yiyun, do you really think I can't do without you?" He squinted with contempt, appearing completely indifferent to the carnage before him.

As the shells were fired and struck several targets on the island, all the crew members surrounding the island were shocked. Although they knew the massive warship was equipped with large iron cannons, no one expected such destructive power.

Regardless, she had spent a long time in the world of the living; though she hadn't lived as long as Ling Yefeng, she knew quite a lot.

Grandma Tao’s body sagged as she sank weakly onto the sofa. A ghost infant like this was no longer ordinary; the ghost fetus would grow at a rate of one month per day, and once it was born, the ghost infant would possess a physical form.

She spun around, and only then did Jian Yiyun notice that the outfit Jian Keli was wearing seemed familiar. Upon reflection, it appeared to be something Mu Zhijun had arranged for her on his own initiative, though it had been left idle in the wardrobe, never worn.

"By the way, why can't Young Master Ru eat coarse food?" She recalled how, when the meals Tingfeng and Tingyu prepared for Ru Huaixi were served, his face had turned deathly pale.

She had become famous overnight after her performance; so many guests wanted to see her, including some big bosses even Song Cheng feared. By rights, she should have been sent out, but I stopped her and told her to stay in her room and not step out.

Suddenly, my body stiffened. I seemed to have forgotten something: he had chased after me, but what about the others? I stole a glance at him, thinking, surely he didn't just abandon everyone else to come after me?

Without a word, he grabbed my hand and turned back. At three other locations equidistant from the stone disk, we discovered three more black holes, but still, there was no sign of Xie Fu and the others. At this point, we had to believe they had truly fled.
