Chapter 34: Surrender

"You decide the household matters; Qingfeng, take Protector Lu to get settled." Jun Shinuo’s words were somewhat off-base. Everyone knew that affairs at Prince Zhuang’s estate were managed either by Qingfeng or Yan Wangyue. However, while the speaker may have been thoughtless, the listener was not, and these words grated harshly on Yan Wangyue’s ears.

Xia Nuanyan pushed open the door to reveal green hanging curtains and blue bedding, which felt much more comfortable. She sat down at the round table and poured herself a cup of tea; it was cold, and the chill seeped through the cup into her fingertips.

When Nangong Ye heard these words, his suspicions regarding Ling Yufei were indeed significantly diminished, for her tone and gaze made him feel somewhat smug, even though he had no genuine affection for her.

This A-Ju was overly intimate with Feihu, making Xia Yan, who sat on Feihu's other side, feel very uncomfortable. Feihu noticed this as well and tried his best to balance the dynamic between them. After all, they were just sitting together for fun; in truth, no one was taking it seriously.

Ma Yuan laughed. He crossed his hands in an 'X' to block Rokudo Mukuro’s attack, but the force of the blow sent him sliding back a full meter.

This patch of earth exuded a nauseating, fishy stench—even more sickening than the smell of a battlefield. The original undead legion had already been routed, reverting back into mere corpses; each one stood as a witness to the battle that had just transpired.

"You must be the bad person, that’s why Mother is dealing with you," Chenxi hummed, not thinking much of Shen Yunyou at all.

"Catch your head, you dead man! I’m driving—if you miss me, just come over! My door is always open for you." Xia Yan laughed over the phone, her voice utterly enchanting to Feihu.

Hanging up the phone in a rush, Jin Yaochen grabbed two broken water pipes again. He needed to reach level 5 quickly; level 5 players received a novice gift pack, which, when opened, could yield equipment of up to rare quality—though, as always, it depended on probability.

After sending Xia Chenxi to the emergency room, Sheng Luoshen finally stopped. Gasping for air, he leaned against the wall and slumped into a chair, drenched in sweat.

Having said this, Yang Bufan and Chen Aotian slung their arms over each other’s shoulders and headed downstairs in collusion.

Zhang Boquan and Zhang Yunjie were both stunned. Why did he want to lure out the people from the Hongying Society? Judging by Lu Ye’s attitude, he clearly had no good intentions.

As for the thug-like Father Ji, she was not particularly afraid. In her eyes, he was just a lowly, wretched person from the bottom of society, and she held a sense of superiority over him, both in spirit and mentality.

"Brother Chen, Qiao Yi is not a flower raised in a greenhouse. I understand his current situation." Looking at Lin Mingchen’s worried expression, Lin Qiaoyi felt a warmth in her heart.

Yang Hu understood the implication and withdrew. Qi Yulan also smoothed her hem, and the others followed, exiting one by one.

Sitting on the sofa, Xia Chenxi took a long, deep breath to steady her racing heart. She rubbed the stiffness from her face and caught a glimpse of the time on the clock hanging on the wall.

Once she drew full aggro, the other teammates and pets would not be easily threatened by the boss. In other words, apart from the tank, everyone else could safely unleash their skills and sit back until the boss’s health was depleted.

Although the news about Xia Chenxi had gradually faded, she still hadn't fully recovered from the shock of the media storm.

Jiang Nan knew in his heart that even if this guy didn't seem to care on the surface, he was actually quite concerned about the situation—or perhaps, concerned about whether Jiang Nan lived or died.

"That old dog!" Doflamingo was both angry and afraid. Angry because the old man was playing him, and afraid for a simple reason: he couldn't beat Sengoku, to the point where he didn't even dare to make empty threats.

But when that endless green light tore through the void and touched the darkness, it was as if a purification had occurred; the heavy darkness dissolved without a sound.

Some people carry an inherent nobility in their every move. You don't need them to show it off—you can simply see that they are different from everyone else.

Wang Hao shouted as he gave chase, but Lu Dasheng, standing nearby, glanced into the distance. He turned and ran toward the window, smashing through it from the seventh floor of the Buddhist hall. He leaped out, vanishing into the white clouds and blue sky of Chang'an.

This was the supreme honor personally bestowed by that existence atop Tianshan Mountain before the first Qianli Great War.

Two days had passed without catching anyone. Seeing that she was about to start school and had no money for registration, let alone enough for daily living, Chen Lixue grew desperate and ran straight to the entrance of the Supervision Bureau to cause a scene.

After thinking the matter over twice, she decided she was just suffering from a persecution complex. In reality, if her Haki had awakened, it had awakened; it was really no big deal.

The opponent’s head fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, unable to believe until his dying breath that he had been countered and killed.

They descended from the sky, landing on every planet, beside every person, and in the desolate wilderness.

Gaolao was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, but after the gunshot rang out, he found no wounds on his body.

Led by several bodyguards, they went straight to the thirtieth floor and arrived at Roman’s office.

Before the Nine Stars Aligned with the Moon, Earth’s cultivators were no match for those of the Huayu Star. But now, with many Earth cultivators returning from other realms, Earth’s cultivators were completely superior to those of the Huayu Star.

"Young lady, go change into these clothes now. I’ll wait outside the door; just call me when you’re done." Mother Wang said, closing the door behind her.

The old man immediately conducted an inspection. His Sealing Marquis Array was completely intact, without a single crack or gap; everything remained as perfect as it had been before.

In the clothing stores, the beautiful garments in the display windows made Wang Yuehan’s heart itch; she couldn't help but want to buy them all.

He walked into the school, but the security guard stopped him. It was only after he produced his student ID that the guard let him pass. Wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses, he walked into the school and headed straight for the teaching building. It should still be class time.
