Chapter 49: Snake Beastmen of the Nether Tribe
"I am fine."
Seeing him still holding her tightly without letting go after checking her over, Yun Li could not help a flash of helplessness on her face. "That eagle beastman didn't seem to mean me any harm."
Even so, Leng Xiao still gritted his teeth and said, "This matter definitely cannot just end like this."
Yun Li shared the same sentiment. Regardless of whether he ultimately harmed her or not, the act of abducting her was wrong in itself. Fortunately, his psychological resilience was poor; otherwise, she would have been in real danger.
"Let's put the matter of the eagle beastman aside for now. Since he has set his sights on me, we will see him again sooner or later. As for the lack of water at home..."
She looked at Leng Xiao and said, "Taking advantage of the fact that the eagle beastman just left, we..."
Li Xiang paced a few steps and said, "It seems our deduction is very likely true. As a Mythological Craft, and one that has awakened her own consciousness, gaining her recognition is by no means a simple matter."
According to normal tropes, she should have been completely finished, but an inexplicable smile appeared on her face.
"Alright, alright, Andersen, quickly explain the current situation." Li Xiang stopped their bickering.
There was nothing in the room except the energy-storing device, which Emperor Ice discovered with ease.
"To completely resolve this situation, he wanted to rely on external forces such as technology and drugs to help himself."
She was right on Druid Street, not far from here. Besides, the situation was not urgent, so there was no need to use a Command Spell.
Miyano Shiho must have finished eating with her sister by now... As soon as Nangong Qingfu got out of the car, he saw the Organization members exuding a chilly aura. Senior members were scattered about, casually squatting on stone steps and the ground, either smoking cigarettes or cleaning their firearms.
"Then you should find Cui Runshan and talk to him about these things. How could I possibly make decisions for Cui Runshan?" Li Wanyue said.
"A-Ning!" Yue Liqingtan could no longer hold back the pressure and grievances in her heart, and she wept while hugging A-Ning.
Disregarding the pulls and restraints of the guards beside him, White resolutely sounded the final charge horn of a knight.
"This..." Before An Yourun could finish expressing her thoughts, the heir to the throne beside her took over the conversation.
"Xiaomei, can you be a bit more pleasant and have a meal with me?" Chen Shi smiled. For some reason, seeing her always reminded him of the past. Could it be that he still hadn't forgotten her?
After she hung up the phone, she noticed that everyone's expressions were a bit odd, but she didn't take it to heart. These people were insignificant; money could dismiss them.
Shu Mo naturally knew what the "punishment" he spoke of meant, and her face and neck flushed red all over again.
Ling Mo smiled, switched the call to his Bluetooth earpiece, put it on, placed his phone aside, started the car, and drove toward the villa.
Xiaowu glanced at the man opposite her a few times. Fenar had dressed up meticulously, his hair was combed very neatly, but his eyes were full of bloodshot veins.
When driving away, he seemed to catch sight of a figure writhing on the ground. Ye Zhiyuan glanced at it briefly and drove away indifferently.
Just how much Ye An'an loved jewelry, gorgeous clothes, and cosmetics could be proven by the spacious walk-in closet in the Ou family's residence.
Nian Chuxia wore a light pink top and tight hot pants on her lower body. The gentle sea breeze blew, fluttering her long hair.
"Your Ladyship... why not have Lord An make discreet inquiries outside the palace? The lord currently relies on the Fifth Prince's faction, and Consort Dowager Jue belongs to that side as well. No matter what, it should be easy to talk to them." Yinglu didn't want to say this, but things had reached such a state, and some things had to be done.
"It's just acting. You can imitate their words and make sure your facial expressions are in place, but you must never copy their hand gestures." Qian Bei'er misunderstood his meaning and explained to him what should be imitated and what shouldn't.
"I'm sorry, First Officer, I, I really think I knew him before. He would never lie to me." Amnesiac Yanhua looked at Yingjun and said to the first officer.
"I'm sorry, I am not the receptionist who would keep you from entering for so long. Apologies, it was our company's oversight." The assistant apologized.
I do not know how much time passed before Yingjun woke up from his deep sleep. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Ruoxi sitting on the other side watching television. Lin Ruoxi was very beautiful, but what Yingjun cared about most right now was his own body.
Yang Xiujie, it seems you really care deeply about Shimin, so nervous and even fighting injustice for her. It's quite a mess, but perhaps this is for the best. With a knight like you, maybe Shimin will really go away with you, and things will be much easier then.
Xie Bi was already dead, but Zimei still couldn't forget him, still clinging to his memory. It seemed she would never forget her old lover in this lifetime, so what did that make Luo Xuan? A mere sustenance for her emotions?
Just now, there was a commotion at Baiyun Taoist Temple, followed immediately by roaring flames near the Hall of Three Pure Ones in the temple. Then, a white figure rushed out of Baiyun Taoist Temple, closely followed by a blurred figure. After that, a pair of well-trained Brocade Guards ascended Mount Baiyun and rushed through the temple gates.
With a single sweep of his sword, he forced the strange bird back, then tapped his toes and soared into mid-air. He slashed his sword downward, and a bolt of lightning plunged from the sky, instantly stirring up a fierce gale on flat ground.
Li Yuetong immediately pushed past Qin Fengzhan and walked inside. Seeing Feng Xinlan inside wearing a pajamas and just slipping on a coat, her hair still slightly damp as if she had just taken a shower—perhaps she had hurriedly thrown on a coat upon hearing someone arrive.
With a splash, a cup of warm milk was poured straight across Su Jinshe's face. Fu Mengni squatted on the ground, clutching her stomach and crying out in pain.
Zhang Huaming wore a gentle smile, speaking softly as he looked at Xie Tianming. "Do you really think that with just this little capability of yours, you can wear us down to death? How utterly foolish! Pitiful and pathetic!" Shaking his head, Zhang Huaming raised his index finger, a faint glow wrapping around it, and pointed upward at the energy mass in the sky.
Tian Cai removed the button, glanced at Tang Feng one last time, and then violently pressed the button down toward Tang Feng's right hand.
The Luo family treasured Shang Qi like a precious jewel. Yao Minzhi came to check on her every day, and even Elder Luo frequently called to express his concern. Feeling that she was causing the elders so much worry, Shang Qi felt deeply apologetic, but Luo Yichen said it was no big deal.
Shifting his stance, he changed positions eighty-one times in succession, yet the crushing pressure above remained fixed upon him. He felt a profound sense of helplessness in both body and mind. Lifting his head to look upward, all he saw was a vast expanse of silvery light, and the next moment, he was driven downward out of the Gale Firmament by this sheet of blinding silver.
