Chapter 57: Gave Me Goosebumps

Mother Ding, the steward of the North Courtyard, stated that several rooms there were in need of repair and requested an allocation of eight hundred taels of silver.

Mother Tang, the steward of the South Courtyard, reported that the resident chef had unfortunately fractured his leg the previous night, leaving the kitchen severely understaffed.

Mother Sha, the steward of the East Courtyard—which belonged to Song Tang herself—mentioned that a recent procurement of silk intended for new garments had a slight color discrepancy, and inquired whether they should repurchase the materials or make do with the existing batch.

Mother Fu, the steward of Old Madam Mu's courtyard, reported that...

And so, Lin Yu's actual strength was inexplicably exaggerated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, rumors claimed that his demonic energy outbreak was indiscriminate, attacking friend and foe alike. This skyrocketed Lin Yu's notoriety within the sect, making him a household name that virtually everyone recognized.

A complete set of blade techniques was wielded by Zejin with fluid perfection, the blade moving as smoothly as an extension of his own arm. When Zejin sheathed his weapon and concluded his combat posture, not a single trace of fatigue lingered on his body, nor was his breathing disordered in the slightest.

Accompanied by Patrick and Nur, Fede walked to the room where Marie was being held captive. She sat leaning against the wall, her hands and feet securely bound.

"Old Huang, don't forget, above us in the path of the immortal-summoners, there is still the Black Old Lady!" Eighth Master Grey reminded loudly in a ringing tone.

"Did you truly find it in such a concealed spot?" Fede was well aware that the Chief of Staff would never have suspected he would be captured in Dry Sand City. If this letter had indeed been discovered in the hidden seam of an undergarment, its credibility was exceptionally high.

Liu Tianxiong sneered, while Ling Tian grew impatient waiting on the side. Fixing his gaze on Ye Xue's delicate face, a sudden impulse stirred within him. Reaching out with his other hand, he grabbed Ye Xue and dragged her over. Ye Xue struggled desperately, but to no avail.

After carefully examining it and attempting to channel her own energy into the object, Mo You could only shake her head in disappointment and hand it to the person beside her.

To be honest, discovering that Song Yulong had actually managed to evade his Lightning Nova strike came as quite a surprise to Ye Feng.

Iso had the battleship's navigation system search for the route back to Planet 101, but along the way, a cosmic storm blew them off course into another wormhole.

Su Jue was unaware that he was being watched at this moment; he was simply strolling leisurely through the forest, having gone a very long time since he last walked peacefully among the trees.

"Commander Liu of Xihe can be relied upon, but as for Yao Gu and Liu Yianqing..." Commander Chong Shizhong stopped there, leaving the sentence unfinished as he merely shook his head.

This ran through the very core of the *Puppet Circus*, encompassing not only all kinds of loves, hatreds, and grievances, but also deeply winding plotlines.

Mu Yun followed closely behind Li Shuci into the Heyi Palace, but the next moment he vaulted out from the back of the hall, concealed the discarded rope, and slipped along the shadows in the corner to wait quietly, keeping out of sight.

"I dare say that even if you were lent another gallbladder, you still wouldn't have the guts to come and deceive Master Hai!" Hearing Le Tian's words, Chief Hai laughed heartily.

Prompted by this, Su Jue naturally thought of his own recent state. Fortunately, he had awakened in time; otherwise, he would have ended up just like that unfortunate man.

An Yan had just casually mentioned going off to chat with some friends and then disappeared. Coincidentally, after An Yan left, he had thought of seeking out Jing Yucheng to play, only to be met with disdain and annoyance.

"Clatter, clatter..." Candies scattered across the ground, and the children rushed forward to scramble for them. Zixing took the opportunity to usher the children out of the courtyard, immediately followed by a burst of starlight that enveloped the entire compound.

Su Jue could not help turning his head back. If Yue Mingyao ever found out that he possessed night vision within this Holy City, she would probably try to gouge his eyes out.

Besides, TPC had already reduced the monster to its last breath, leaving only the fighter jets of GUTS and XIG to fly onto the battlefield and watch Gaia deliver the grand finale.

"The hairs on my body involuntarily stood on end, and sweat poured continuously down my forehead. They shouldn't be dead—she was always so resilient, she wouldn't die so easily! It has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me! I know nothing at all!" With those frantic words, he ran off trembling all over.

Where the flock of crows converged, Pain reappeared. Wielding a swirling blue orb, he plummeted from the sky and slammed it down squarely onto the head of the second assassin.

One had to realize that this was Professor Hu He's public lecture, with hundreds of pairs of eyes staring straight at him. In an instant, Lu Jiang's face turned the color of a pig's liver.
