Volume 1, Chapter 37: Being Followed

"Enough," Chunmei shot the man a glare. "Hurry and finish the Matriarch's orders. There is no need for us to bicker with someone who is as good as dead. If we push her too far, the consequences will certainly not be worth it."

"Brother Ye Bai, we should go register now; let's not keep my parents waiting," Tang Lulu said, tugging at Ye Bai's sleeve to remind him once the class transfer had been settled.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Why are you doing this? You haven't been offended by us in any way," Long Kun hurried over to help her up, trying to comfort her.

Something seemed to brush against the corner of my lips, and it was only a long while later that I realized it must have been a kiss.

So, the bouquet on the table had been a gift from that hulking man; Song Xi must have known that all along, which explained why she had tossed it aside without even glancing at it.

Chen Xinghai's clinic was quiet and desolate. More than ten days had passed, and most of the previous patients had been discharged or transferred. He had been forgotten.

The demon wolves were stunned at these words. They hurriedly rummaged through the charred animal skin belonging to Xuanyuan Chengxian and pulled out a pale golden fruit. It was the very one they had obtained in the valley of the Qiyun Brown Bear. Wolf Sha had given it to Xuanyuan Chengxian in the hope of helping him, but now, the sight of it made their eyes light up.

Given her current strength, confronting Howling Moon Valley directly would be highly unwise. No matter how powerful she had once been, should she fall this time, she would lack the means to protect her own life.

"But look at the things he said! Is that even human language?" Ding Yuhan fumed, stamping her feet in anger.

If it were a day with heavy rain, both sets of parents would walk them to school together. Along the way, there would be endless chatter—the adults talking among themselves, and the two of them whispering to each other. Yet, among all the things the adults said, one sentence remained etched in A-Fa's mind: "When the children grow up, how about we become in-laws?"

"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!" Bloodshot light overflowed from the Divine Crow Taoist's eyes. He grabbed the Fire-Jing Tree and hurled it at the spiritual artifacts whistling toward him through the air. As the tree flew, it instantly expanded to dozens of feet in height, crashing into the weapons with a fierce, howling wind.

"Starting today, I will be your Potions professor. Of course, I am about the same age as you, so I may not be able to teach you much. Let's just say we will be learning from one another," Rhodes said with a smile, reaching out to flip open the podium and pulling out some laboratory equipment from within.

However, it wasn't long before he felt his strength continuously draining away. In Pedian's own eyes, his entire body had been scorched down to a skeleton. He knew this must be a falsehood; if he were truly burned to that state, he would have been dead long ago. He firmly believed that all of this was an illusion.

"I told you to put down the gun!" Ignoring the reactions of the others, Rhodes's words infuriated one of the gunmen. Seeing Rhodes dismantle the firearm in his hand into pieces, the gunman thought he saw an opportunity. He swung his hand, gripped his pistol tightly, and lunged forward to smash it into Rhodes's face.

Howard was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and for years, the organization had secretly protected and monitored him. It wasn't until he was reborn as Iron Man that Nick felt the time was ripe; it was time for him to inherit his father's will and contribute to the great cause of humanity.

As for the Wudang Sect, while the world believes Zhang Sanfeng was its founder, few know that the sect had existed for a long time before his arrival. Zhang Sanfeng was the one who brought the Wudang Sect to prominence and made it known to the world.

"Could they be from outer space? Is this an invasion?" The pilots were struck with shock, as were the countless ordinary citizens witnessing the scene. They truly felt as if the end of the world were upon them, and an unprecedented wave of panic swept through the masses.
