24 Going to School

Gong Yusheng, on the other end of the phone screen, knew that with Guan Qi’s temper, this silence was merely the calm before the storm.

The diamond drills on the tentacles spun furiously, stirring up whirlpool after whirlpool across the entire seafloor.

He frowned slightly. With his fairly handsome appearance and deeply melancholic air, he rather resembled a refined young gentleman.

Now that the character played by Fang Yu was confined to a wheelchair, could you, La Ying, still rely on your status to sit there and wait?

When Meng Fei had been her classmate, he had once pursued her, but his methods had been so vile that Chen Xiaoxiao found it difficult to feel anything but disgust toward him.

The seawater control tower could manipulate seawater, and whirlpools were made of seawater. Could it be that, under the tower’s control, the whirlpools would undergo some different transformation?

Hearing this, Li Meng instantly felt utterly humiliated. Her face flushed, and she began to pant heavily. She sprang to her feet on the spot, trying to snatch Fang Yu’s camcorder.

People’s feelings toward one another were not the same, yet they could infect each other, making it seem as though everyone shared a single thought and a single emotion.

He ate by himself, dressed by himself, and slept by himself. Compared with other children his age, he was practically an adult.

Among these divine card masters, however, only a handful—including Dantai Tianyong—managed to attract his attention.

Chen Tairan was a sharpshooter, so his accuracy went without saying. Yet Xueli was no inferior to him; she intercepted the incoming sword qi time and again. She truly had some skill.

Although Liu Yunshun was vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and was generally an upright man who had accepted hardly any gifts, there was no way he could have accumulated so much money. Not to mention one hundred million dollars—even ten million would have been extremely difficult. What was more, the deadline given by the other party was terribly short: only three days.

“Let’s go take a look up ahead. There may still be some clues.” Liu Shi knew that after so much time had passed, anything that remained would have been buried beneath the wind and sand. Going to investigate was merely an attempt to do what they could, but at least it might slightly divert Han Wei’s attention. He could sense how much pain Han Wei was in at that moment.

She drank several more mouthfuls of water, but the tightness in her chest did not ease at all. She had no idea what was wrong.

“Everyone is already safe, and you still want them to mutilate themselves. What exactly are you trying to do?” The instant Han Wei finished speaking, Engineer Li’s voice rang out. He rejected the proposal without hesitation. Once Engineer Li had spoken, his subordinates naturally refused as well.

Zhang Ning immediately felt a little regretful. The fellow was quite perceptive—he had ducked behind the others the moment it looked as though a fight was about to begin. Otherwise, Zhang Ning would have let him experience the might of the Unerring Flying Sword.

“Damn, he really knows how to put on an act.” A cold smile spread across Chen Tairan’s face as he increased the pressure of his grip, squeezing until the black man’s bones creaked.

Chen Tairan was rendered speechless. After all, the victim was his friend, and Chief Shen, the beautiful police officer, had ventured alone into the tiger’s den and dragon’s lair to save him. It had been reckless and inadvisable, certainly, but her sense of justice was beyond reproach.

What moved her most was that within this piece of jadeite rough, there was only a single band of color roughly five or six centimeters wide. Everywhere else was pure, transparent, colorless glass-type jadeite. If the colorless portion was counted as well, it should be considered four-colored jade. That very purity and transparency set off the red, green, and violet hues, making them appear even brighter and more vivid.

All at once, as though he had sensed her gaze, Jun Jinyan stopped. His eyes turned toward Xia Qi. Then, scarcely a second later, he walked straight toward her.

Scattered light streamed in. With his left hand behind his back and his right resting before his abdomen, Qin Mu entered like a gentleman draped in radiance. He crossed the long red carpet and stepped onto the stage. Unlike usual, Qin Mu seemed more approachable today, his eyes shimmering with mottled brilliance.

Yun Bai did not answer. Qing He turned on the faucet and vigorously washed his hands. After hurriedly finishing, he dried them with a hand towel. “Let’s go. I’ve already called Zhu Yan.” He turned and spoke to Yun Bai.

Bees capable of cultivation were rare in her experience. She dared not imagine how powerful the mother of that queen bee must be.

This was not the time to think about so many things. Right now, she wanted to master medicine—not only for the patients she would treat in the future, but also to carry traditional Chinese medicine forward. Clutching this dream in her heart, she tightened her fists.

Among these members of the Black Insect Society, there was also a dragon priest who suffered a crushing defeat at Spencer’s hands.

Some praised death, some hated it, some feared it, and some fawned upon it… Yet no matter how people regarded death, death itself was always the same toward them all. Every living thing would die; the only difference was sooner or later.

Yang Qi was so terrified that his entire body tensed, and he even struck his forehead until it bled, but Gong Yinting remained completely unmoved.

Matriarch Ma sat cross-legged atop a cloud, watching her with a warm and gratified smile while speaking words of farewell.

Sylvia alone was an exception. Not only did she feel no discomfort, she actually experienced an indescribable sense of ease, as though she had been born to belong in this world filled with darkness and deathly silence.

Looking at the one-third that remained, Lu Jiaxin thought she would take it home later and save it for breakfast.

After all, Wan’er truly was beautiful, and she had a lovely bearing as well. Although her figure was not as good as her own, what if Feng Ling happened to like her?

“Selivia”—no, Morin, who had taken possession of Selivia’s body—glanced at the sixteen-winged angel without speaking, merely giving a slight nod.

With a lift of his hand, the two Tosas vanished, and the surroundings of Wen Xu grew quiet once more.

Yan Dong smiled and continued, “If we really wanted to do something, there would be no more than three or five of us at most. With this many people, anyone can tell we’re only here for innocent fun.”

Ning Xiguang thought it over and decided that running back and forth home every day was not practical. It would be fine in good weather, but what would they do if heavy rain came down?
