Volume 1 Chapter 50: New Life on a New Island

Su Ran gave him a half-smile. “Then let’s first see where you’ll be spending the night.”
The moment Li Ergou finished speaking, the sound of police sirens came from outside the door.
To make matters worse, Xu Suizhu actually went to consult a neurologist about the symptoms of delusions, causing the doctors and nurses to regard her as though she were insane.
“Is it because of Lan Jiahui?” Su Ran’s feelings were complicated. At least now, everything had a reasonable explanation.
The Fire Fox Beast flipped up its enormous, fluffy red tail and covered its entire body with it, apparently quite displeased with Teacher Wayne’s words.
Mrs. Li had come specifically to deliver the money, so she did not stay long. Jiujiaojiao was still at home, and she would not feel at ease if she lingered.
Back when he had been on the Sea-Heaven Continent, he had collected several magical pills, but he could not remember where he had put them.
Ying Feng walked all the way toward the palace gates along the Ten-Mile Long Street, yet he never encountered Zimo. According to Tan Yaoyu, he should have returned after driving Xing Ming’s horse to the vicinity of the palace gates. This was the only route back to their residence. In theory, it should have been impossible for him and Zimo to miss each other.
The muscles on Liu Qiang’s face twitched violently. Even when beating a dog, one had to consider its master. If Xue Gang sang today and word got out, how would the second-generation elite circle of Jiang City view him afterward?
“It’s like this. Today, my cousin and I went out together...” Wu Shengnan recounted the entire day’s events in detail.
“It’s nothing... I was just asking.” Meng Ningyou answered vaguely. She lowered her head and sank into thought again, failing even to notice when Meng Ningxin had sat down beside her.
“What do you mean?” Zhao Wuji was no fool. He understood at once. His pupils contracted as he frowned.
But at that moment, Lian Sihai opened the door and walked in. Gu Xuejing could only suppress her urge to run outside and sit there obediently.
Although Yan Ziyuan was also a contestant, her status placed her in a privileged position, so her seat was an excellent one, close to the judges’ table.
The Blood Elk behind it immediately began emitting one long cry after another, summoning its companions.
After washing up in the bathroom, she casually tied her hair into a ponytail and hurried downstairs, forgetting even to close the bedroom door properly.

Although the figure was merely passable, as the ratings for the first installment of a series, they were already exceptionally good. This could be heard from Lisa Rongxing’s excited tone; the entire television station was celebrating. The reason the media still rated the program as a cultural phenomenon was the enormous amount of discussion it generated.
Mu Rongshan had described it in such mysterious terms that the value of this talisman was obvious. Yet it had been destroyed so easily by a nine-year-old.
She cupped her burning cheeks in both hands, then turned over and buried herself in the pillow. What was she doing? Once she had indulged him, even that elegant gentleman of a man transformed into a wolf in bed, leaving her too weak to get up.
The Starflame Lion King had been given this name to commemorate its ancestor, the Flame Star Behemoth, from which it had been born.
An Ruo set down her chopsticks and said a few words. Then she grabbed the drink beside her and took a fierce gulp. She had finally managed to eat most of the food in her bowl, and she really did not want An Min to enthusiastically serve her another helping. Otherwise, she would truly be miserable. Heh, she was far too enthusiastic.
Luo Qinghan stared at the pregnancy test report being handed to him. At Black MS’s words, the wineglass in his hand paused, and the entire room fell silent once more.
It felt as though he were holding something in his hand. Yes, he was holding Jiamei’s hand. The person who would grow old with him was Jiamei.
Rubbing his temples, Luo Qinghan felt that the Su Qingge before him was more powerful than every opponent he had ever faced, giving him an unbearable headache.
From now on, all patrol units were to deploy in groups of two companies. A single company simply did not have enough manpower.
June. The height of summer, with the sun blazing like fire. Youth had come to an end, everything had drawn its curtain. So this was the price of growing up: the passing of one’s finest years.
At the hospital, Mo Bai had been unconscious all night, while Su Qingge had been busy throughout the night. Afterward, she and Luo Qinghan did not exchange a single word, behaving as though they were locked in a cold war.
A freezing arrowhead pierced through a gap in the shield. One strongman was impaled through the chest and fell to the ground with a scream. Immediately, another strongman concealed beneath the shields stepped forward to take his place, protecting the men pushing the siege ladder as they continued forward.
Time passed second by second. When An Ruo sat on the sofa, it seemed to move exceptionally slowly.
Only then did Ye Wei realize that the flesh beneath her hand felt so astonishingly real. It was real after all.
A faint smile still lingered at the corners of Bai Chenxing’s lips, as though he could not sense the complicated gazes of the others.

“Not one of your people?” Huo Guling asked Ye Rin疑疑ingly. When Ye Rin shook his head, everyone fell silent.
The bandit chief had evidently recalled this scene as well. His eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted.
Those words struck straight at Xia Hua’s heart. She pressed her lips together, sat down beside Qiu Yue, and quietly settled herself.
Jiekong was consumed by grief and fury after losing the Exquisite Pagoda. He was ready to attack at any moment and had therefore prepared himself long in advance.
“This?” Master Li looked at Hua Weilu’s troubled expression, then turned his head toward Zhishan and gazed at him with bewilderment.
“Damn old woman! Why did you place that wretched Yin Gu inside me?” I was so furious I could hardly contain myself. That parasite had nearly killed me several times! The pain was unbearable. Whenever I thought of it, my body seemed to remember the agony all over again.
“Wife, why is he going around looking for people to sleep with?” Gong Chenye sat beside Su Jing, looking utterly confused as he took her hand and asked.
At five in the morning, Han Shangyang stumbled sleepily to the bathroom and saw Jiang Liyun sitting on the sofa in a hospital gown, her face full of fear.
However, Qianmo, Su Qingying, and Su Hentian had all come into contact with the Third Prince of Falan before. They knew that although he appeared on the surface to possess only crude methods, he was actually a deeply calculating man.
Several minutes later, the elevator doors chimed open. Su Zimo emerged carrying Su Xier in his arms and walked straight into the somewhat quiet office area. Seeing his listless colleagues, he thought for a moment and understood what had happened. He gave it no further thought, walked to his workstation, and sat down.
Yin Rong immediately fell into disarray. Her high ponytail had become somewhat tousled. At that moment, she actually panicked. As the violence between the two sides continued to rage, tension gripped her heart.
The situation had now become a matter of life and death. After hearing this, Bingling grew serious as well. She had previously released an ice-elemental domain, but that was not her true domain. Her real domain was the Domain of Desperation.
