Volume 1 Chapter 34: Reencounter, A Desire to Keep

At the bottom of the cruise ship, by the door of the cabin serving as a makeshift prison.

Chinese soldiers have never lacked martyrs, but even in death, they would ensure they were feared and went out in a blaze of glory.

This included Su Nan’s current dilemma. She trusted that as long as he stepped in, there was nothing he could not resolve. Seeing him return to her side brought a sense of peace and stability to her heart, replacing the feeling of being suspended in a swaying storm.

She ran back to her quarters and sprinted toward the spot where she had first encountered the man riding the phoenix.

The figure stood about thirty feet tall, projecting an impression of towering majesty. Composed entirely of flames, its scorching aura was enough to make anyone recoil.

Xi Jiuye and Ming Ri shared the blood feud of a murdered father; they loathed one another, yet for the moment, their enemies were at least aligned—or rather, they both had to resist that mysterious and unfathomable power.

“Does the Noble Consort not find this redundant? The outcome remains the same regardless.” Princess Runing, knowing full well that words were useless at this stage, simply reined in her emotions and spoke her mind plainly.

In truth, some had considered it at the very beginning, but because the objective of the mission was unclear and they were unfamiliar with the situation in Asgard, they had hesitated.

She had nearly forgotten about it. It had been a long time since Wang Qin’s passing, yet the police had never found the culprit. This remained an unsolvable knot in Qi Lei’s heart.

But as soon as Zhan Xinglan was pulled up, she would fall back onto the pillows. After doing this two or three times, Zhuhuan was already panting with exhaustion.

As the guard’s rod descended, Tang Tang suddenly wanted to cry, but she forced herself to hold back. Gritting her teeth, she clenched her fists secretly. As the sovereign of a nation suffering such humiliation, she, Tang Tang, would certainly exact revenge for the man she loved.

“Why are you so slow?!” Just as the Imperial Noble Consort was becoming impatient with the wait, Bi Yuntao finally sauntered out of his room.

Unfortunately, for now, only he could absorb natural energy. Even if he taught the Twelve Kizuki, their absorption rate was sluggish and accompanied by severe side effects.

Ye Fantian’s consciousness was as smooth and flawless as white jade, entirely free of any impurities that could be exploited.

Finally, the hungry giant grew weary. Watching the two strange morsels ahead drift further and further away, it abandoned the chase, flicked its tail, and swam off.

In the end, Na Tie managed to find Xuan Yalan, but she was very busy. With the city of Shangjing in such chaos, Na Tie had to give up on his desire to spend intimate time with her, though he did not forget to leave a bullet inside her body before they parted.

They had been prepared to return the child immediately, but… well, would you look at that? Not a single cry.

She had experienced too much today; she was exhausted and weary. She was clearly not a soft-hearted person, yet she had not made things difficult for Su Jingya and had even saved Bai Mozi. This left her in a state of deep conflict.

“Can you stop talking about money all the time? What kind of relationship do we have? Discussing money just hurts our bond,” Jiang Guchi said solemnly on the other end.

However, the sound was absorbed by the wilderness almost instantly. It was unclear whether those two had heard it, but they continued to sprint away without stopping.

Suddenly, Gao Fengwei’s voice trailed off, for he saw his own manager acting like a sycophant on the phone. Having interrupted such an important moment, he realized he was finished.
