Chapter 48

Fear and terror filled the depths of her eyes, and she desperately tried to hide behind Madam Bai, only to be yanked out by her every time.

Muran was already a college student, but she had never been in a relationship. Therefore, all her knowledge about romance came either from television or from stories told by those around her. She did not know if this was truly the feeling of love; she only knew that an indescribable sense of joy was blooming in her heart.

"I... I have already decided not to speak of the Greater Grail anymore," Jeanne said, turning her head away as she twirled her long golden hair.

After a long silence, having finally withdrawn his gaze from the afro-sporting grim reaper-like figure, Kenpachi turned his head toward Kisuke Urahara, a hint of confusion in his tone.

If anyone with ulterior motives were to overhear this, even if she knew Qi Ye was only joking, it would be impossible to stop others from doubting the truth.

This was a tragic romantic drama. Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru broke into the Locked Fairy Pagoda to rescue Zhao Ling'er, and in the end, Lin Yueru sacrificed herself to fulfill the love between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, burying herself within the pagoda.

"Sisi, it's been so long. You're even more beautiful than before," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Roof tiles and dust rained down like a storm. Gao Mo's mind went blank; she felt her internal organs spinning upside down, and a wave of nausea instantly surged up.

Although the points for the Sky Island had not been properly settled yet, as time passed, the points gradually accumulated.

Even though he had already woken up, Gaia was still tormenting him. Light Yagami was furious, utterly furious.

Anyone with even the slightest bit of magical common sense knew that among all magical systems—such as elements, light and dark, souls, plants, healing, status manipulation, and so on.

In just a few short minutes, zombies had surrounded half of the clearing. The old man's air rifle fired continuously, and zombies fell from time to time. Suddenly, the old man let out a miserable scream and tumbled to the ground, and instantly several zombies swarmed over each other to tear him apart.

Odin snapped his fingers, and the energy on the three flying swords began to purify itself. A moment later, the energy on the three swords became exceptionally pure, holy enough to make one want to worship them.

"What is going on here?" Dongfang Qian forced herself not to fall, staring straight at Chu Yun, eager to know the reason. She certainly did not want to be defeated in such a baffling manner.

"Could it be that you all drew too much attention? Logically speaking, mutated Night Demons nowadays rarely mingle with other ordinary zombies. Encountering them in remote areas might be possible, but with so many zombies in Ning County, and it being the lair of that monster Bao Ping, how could..." Zhang Zhao said, looking puzzled.

Anyone struck by this type of magic would have their eardrums destroyed, because even if someone merely whispered gently in their ear, it would sound to them like a clap of thunder exploding right beside their head.

Meanwhile, Zach utilized the shockwave generated by Toby and Penny's magic to make his attacks even more ferocious and fierce.

Li Zijing glanced at Zhang Zhao with an indescribable, half-smiles-half-frowns expression on his face. "Heh heh, I was just testing to see if she would die if I hit her in the chest," Zhang Zhao said with an awkward laugh.

Yuyan gave a start and woke up completely. She struggled a few times, trying to break free from Fang Yu's embrace, but he only pulled her tighter.

After taking a hearty gulp of the Elam water, the man wiped his mouth and continued, "Because everyone who fights him either ends up dead or crippled, no one is willing to fight him anymore. Anyone unfortunate enough to be matched against him simply surrenders right at the start."

Madam Li looked at her. Indeed, that was precisely how things stood. She wanted to argue her case, but for a moment, she found herself completely at a loss for words.

Jiang Meilin sat restlessly at home. Today's plan was flawless; even if it failed, no one should have been able to trace it back to her. So why had her right eyelid been twitching nonstop?

"Then get out of this house!" Gu Jingru said sternly. This damned girl caused her trouble every single day, and she truly regretted giving birth to her in the first place.

"Go summon Huage," Su Changli instructed. Zi Yi relayed the order outside, and Ling-long went off happily.

As for any other local specialties, a place like this naturally could not compare to the development of the capital, so exquisite silks and the like were out of the question. However, Jiang City was a region rich in jade, so bringing some of that back was entirely feasible.

It was clearly an extremely ordinary sentence, but for some reason, the onlookers felt an extraordinary sense of deterrence when they heard it, as if their legs were involuntarily obeying the command to step backward.

Not long after, the inner palace was filled with beauties as numerous as clouds. Within the imperial palace, he spent every day amidst song, dance, and a dreamlike drunken haze.

Especially as he sang, those beautiful phoenix eyes stared straight at him, revealing all the deep affection within them. The anticipation in his gaze shone like starlight gathered from across the evening sky, dazzlingly bright.

After sending off Old Mrs. Jiang, along with Jiang's father and mother, the servants turned and returned to the manor. The next task on the agenda was to prepare for Zi Yi's wedding.

The arrival of the Southern Ming Divine Emperor caused many divine kings to secretly rejoice that they had come; otherwise, they feared they would have offended not only Qin Tian, but also the Southern Ming Divine Emperor as well.

Yang Wentian grew even angrier, his face as dark as ink. He even suspected whether this proper youth exchange tournament would be completely ruined by that bastard.

The door inside the low fence opened, and a dark-skinned man walked out. Although it was currently winter, the man wore only a short-sleeved shirt. Much like Qiong Ling, his right arm was thick while his left arm was thin, creating a stark contrast that looked somewhat comical. He saw the three of them, but his gaze landed solely on Ying Sheng.

Not to mention those present, even the people in the distance who were paying attention to this place were stunned at this moment.

Just as Leona finished boasting, she saw Ajie holding his high-tech giant hammer, looking at her with a rather playful expression.

"Did you miss me?" Han Li stepped forward, wrapped both arms around Leoyi's waist, and sheltered her within his zone of safety.

It is fine for lovers to spend a lot of time together, but this President Gu's husband presumably had his own career to build.

"No, no, no. Remember this for the future: never do that to me again. It'll shave years off my life," Ye Kai said repeatedly.

Although the members of the Martial Arts Alliance had made meticulous plans under Mu Linjiang's arrangements, they still could not feel entirely secure when facing the elites of the Flame Demon Cult. In the event that the alliance failed, the Flame Demon Cult would inevitably attack the large ship. When that time came, the only things they could rely on were the broad river surface and the guards aboard the vessel.

Just as they entered the outskirts of Juxia City, a pair of black wing-shaped aircraft, each larger than a mountain, appeared in the sky above the city.
