Volume 1, Chapter 66: From Now On, You Are Our Child

"I couldn't see him at all, I just heard his voice in my head, constantly asking me about the eastern deployment. Then I was slapped by an invisible force." Dale climbed up, looking disheveled, walked over to the mirror, and checked herself.

The ninth princess, an over-aged loli, skipped ahead like a guide, leading the way for Xia Xuan.

With a fierce slam, she hurled her mobile phone onto the ground, freed a hand, and clawed wildly toward Yan Han's face. If those sharp, long nails were to actually scratch someone's face, they would likely leave several bloody gashes.

"There are no 'buts'. Just do as I say. Build a solid foundation; the boss doesn't like taking shortcuts!" Lin Fan said very earnestly.

Amidst the swaying water weeds, A Li slowly closed her eyes, concentrating intensely to observe the situation below. Following that extremely intense surge of resentment, she slowly guided Ya Ya over.

Everyone from the Rakshasa Gate was momentarily stunned upon seeing a young figure. With Long Yue shouting like that, anyone would be completely baffled.

The temperature in the outskirts at night was drastically different from daytime. Perhaps because the dense mountain forests trapped the chill, the wind blew with a biting cold. The only moving scenery was perhaps the full moon hanging right before them.

At a time like this, showing loyalty and expressing concern for the master's safety was completely missing the mark. Regardless of how their master scolded, cursed, beat, or kicked them, they were determined to carry their loyalty through to the very end. Thus, these dozen or so servants hoisted their master up and fled backward at top speed.

Just as Xia Xuan was about to thrust his spear down, another handsome young man roughly the same age as Xia Xuan rushed out from Yang Feng's troops, wielding a long-handled battle axe.

Fresh blood spread across the ground like an extraordinarily vivid flower, blooming at the moment this life came to an end. A look of shock still lingered on his face, wondering if this sudden catastrophe was retribution for past sins.

Immediately, a surging crowd of Mohist disciples swarmed forward and backward toward Zou Dui and Lan Xinling. Zou Dui's anger had already ignited in his heart; a cold flash crossed his palm as the Blade Fang materialized. He decided it was time to teach these brainless Mohist disciples a thorough lesson.

"Oh, I forgot to tell my sister." Hua Yu suddenly looked at Hua Yun, her large eyes blinking rapidly.

The temperature around Chong Wanli plummeted by several degrees instantly. Once Zheng Dawei's investigation results came out, he would definitely need a serious outlet to vent his fury. Someone who controlled the secret border paths? The thought of it made him want to devour people alive.

He wasn't afraid of He Yulan scanning the area with her divine sense either. This place was simply too vast; it was utterly impossible for He Yulan's divine sense to scan the entire expanse.

The upper half of her hair at the back was loosely gathered and pinned into a flower shape. All the hair below was pulled to the left and braided into a thick plait, hanging solely over her chest.

She was overjoyed. Upon leaving the encampment, she went straight to her father's tent, and gazing at her father, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

While Zou Dui was momentarily stunned, Liu Yu and the others standing behind him instantly turned as pale as a sheet. Previously, when their entire hunting team was besieging this Black-Armored Beast King, the creature had only ever relied on brute strength to toy with them, never once displaying this kind of defensive capability.

By the time Zou Gaosheng reacted, there was no trace of Zou Dui left. Given Zou Dui's current strength, even if Zou Gaosheng wanted to pursue him, he lacked the capability despite his desire to do so, leaving him with no choice but to sigh and stamp his feet in frustration.

Zhang Chunhua actually wanted to probe Zhao Yu for some hints, but given Zhao Yu's meticulous mindset, Zhang Chunhua immediately realized she was just wasting her effort. To avoid arousing the disgust of Lu Lan and the others, Zhang Chunhua naturally chose an appropriate moment to leave the three of them.

A procession of two to three hundred people appeared on the imperial highway. The grand, surging stream of carriages formed a stark contrast with the fleeing refugees by the roadside. Greenish, feral glares flashed in the hungry eyes of the refugees as they stared fixedly at the cartloads of grain. Yet, upon catching sight of the fully armored soldiers surrounding the convoy, not a single person dared to step forward.

A jolt ran through Qing Yan's heart, and she immediately guessed that the other party had recognized her identity, though their objective remained unclear.

The reputation of the Black Veil Gate was growing increasingly worse, yet its fame was expanding concurrently, and the businesses under its jurisdiction were multiplying. This Black Veil Gate had effectively become the underground ruler of Bliss Island.

A stone mallet naturally could not strike both eyes simultaneously, but the left arm launched by the golem did not hit vertically like an arrow. Instead, it faithfully fulfilled its duty as a mallet, striking flat across the horizontal line of the Spider Queen's eyes.

"Come with me for a moment. Your dad and I have something to say to you!" Li Huai grabbed Lin Yuxuan by the arm and pulled her away.

"I'll go ahead. You take them and grab a taxi over!" Shen Yi said to Zhang Yang, then smiled and patted Shen Xiu's head before pulling open the door of the Land Rover and sliding into the driver's seat.

In truth, the illumination here came merely from very ordinary oil lamps. Two gloomy stone figures stood before the city gate, each bearing a bronze lamp on its shoulders. It was a mystery what kind of fuel was used to keep them burning for millennia.

After bringing the two inside, his parents naturally gave them a warm reception. Shen Xiu, that little girl, even vied for the chance to pour tea, trying hard to curry favor. As for what her purpose was, the whole family knew it implicitly.

Naturally, once the sliding door of this Universe Cabinet was closed, the world inside could not possibly be exposed; otherwise, given Hu Ye's telepathic connection with the Green Leaf World, he would have sensed the existence of the Green Leaf World through the cabinet long ago.

"Got it." Fatty Sun readily agreed. He had gained some experience by now and had a fixed team of people under his command. As long as you paid them, going to internet cafes to spam posts was much easier than handing out flyers on the street.

Li Wan'er—actually, in issuing such a warning, Gu Yishao was also joking with her. Moreover, people of ancient times weren't very fond of joking, and hearing Gu Yishao speak this way actually made her feel a bit more at ease.

Inside the arena, the students from both classes had all arrived, standing in distinct factions and cheering for their respective classes. Qing Yu took her place at the very front of the formation and slowly entered the arena. The opposing team entered slowly as well, and neither side harbored excessive hostility.
