56. The Divine Revelation Ceremony, Dragons of the Four Seas
Masako Fuurin showed no panic as she drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and chanted, "Fire!" An arrow formed of condensed mana struck the Dragon Blast head-on. Upon impact, there was no sound, and the attack rapidly dissipated into nothingness.
However, the transit fare for such space-jump devices was exceptionally expensive. After all, given the complex modern environment, spatial folding technology was utilized in an entirely different manner now.
Old Lady Lu was furious beyond measure. "You damned, wasteful bitch, how dare you curse me! I'll tear you apart!" With that, she stretched out her withered, claw-like hands, attempting to scratch Hua Rongrong's face. Aunt He and Sister Fang, who had just returned from the backyard, hurriedly rushed over to stop her.
Sheng Tong was not the least bit discouraged by Ye Tian's indifference; on the contrary, he grew increasingly cheerful, seemingly thrilled that his ideals had been praised by Ye Tian as great.
Qian Yilou no longer harbored doubts, and the prefect pointed a finger, instantly sealing the cultivation of Qi Xinghe.
Although he was certain that Yu Chong would not launch a sneak attack while he was fighting Shark Fierce, that Jin Wuchang looked gloomy and sinister, not at all like someone who would fight fair.
The empress consented. Mu Ransheng requested a large water vat, some pigments, and several other seemingly inexplicable, ordinary items.
The conduct of the eldest master, Ye Chonggong, left Hong Yuan utterly disappointed, shattering any lingering hopes he had for the Ye family. Although the Ghost Servant was formidable, two fists could hardly match four hands, especially since he still had to protect his aunt, Liu Ruyan. Now, Hong Yuan's sole reliance was the battle-pet legion led by the Blood Bat King, which was his true trump card.
"I'll beat you to death, you black-hearted, rotten-gutted, foul-mouthed wretched woman!" Old Lady Lu was driven mad with rage, lunging wildly at anyone within reach.
Yuan Dou went out to report to the tailor. Since the tailors in the manor had already taken measurements, the outfit Mu Ransheng put on fit her like a glove, perfectly tailored without the need for any alterations.
Accounts had always been kept separately and controlled by trusted confidants, so no one felt this was improper. Li Si pulled him aside and began showing him around to familiarize him with these businesses. Zhang San thought for a moment and also filled him in on the shipyard's situation, explaining that producing ferries, aside from their own use, would become an important business for the shipyard in the future.
Just like cutting into tofu or smashing a fire-escape window, Lin Jian felt as though he had shattered something.
On the return journey, Hao Yu appeared very happy, a constant smile gracing his face. Sitting in the cabin, he cupped his face in his hands and gazed out the window for a long, long time, until the sun set and the moon rose.
"Siyan, I am still somewhat unaccustomed to the movements and need to study them more closely." Mu withdrew her sword and walked toward Siyan.
In the afternoon, when Lin Xiaole and Zhan Jinshang arrived at the hospital, someone had already discharged Gong Jingxue. The person handling the discharge was neither from the Gong family nor Shi Junhao, but a male with the surname An.
The ground vibrated with increasing intensity, frightening Guo Huitong into grabbing Hao Yu's clothes and pressing her body tightly against the boy's, her large eyes scanning her surroundings with terror.
"Wuwuwu~" The king let out a strained, low roar, sounding like a voice squeezed from the depths of his throat, extremely unpleasant to the ear.
He felt that a promotional PV like this should be watched with absolute concentration, without missing a single wonderful moment. Danmu, which could ruin the viewing experience, was best turned off altogether.
It was evident that Liu Xun was furious at the moment. Just as the location of the treasure was about to open, uninvited guests had arrived—it could hardly be happy about that. Meanwhile, the dozens of mutated creatures on the ground clustered together, striking a defensive pose and surrounding the large opening, clearly intending to prevent anyone from entering.
Qingyang and Asui stood behind him, feeling only that the prince was terrifyingly quiet, radiating a biting chill. After watching him stare at the white silk strip for a long time, they saw him tuck it into his sleeve. With a flash, he transformed into a swift shadow and sped out of the city toward Laiyuan Village.
However, Japan's fishery, which had flourished since ancient times, now began to play a crucial role, providing survivors with an abundance of fresh fish to replace grain and sustaining the remaining population of eight million.
"Soul Elder, there are sounds of combat..." Long Tianfeng immediately materialized on a sturdy branch, scanning his surroundings with a calm yet solemn gaze.
Human beings are always influenced by too many emotions in their judgments; spiritual force, however, lacks this, belonging purely to mental power.
In any case, Lu Tianxiang could only think this far; as for whether there were any other implications, he could not yet fathom them. For now, he would have to take things one step at a time.
"Uncle Lingfeng, if you can spare even a sliver of spiritual energy, please help me brace that tear, otherwise I won't be able to maintain the Gate of Time and Space." Although Lu Run's energy was already immensely powerful, the Gate of Time and Space had not yet been reinforced, so he could not support the fractured perimeter on his own.
After the two landed on the ground, Wu Zi's primordial spirit returned to her body. Wu Zi had only recently entered the Divine Wandering Realm and could not yet sustain her primordial spirit's projection outside her body for long periods.
"That means if you fight them one-on-one, you can defeat them." Hearing Miyamoto say this, Itagaki found a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps the reason she thought this way was because her sixth sense told her she had unknowingly been drawn into a mysterious political vortex, perhaps unwittingly taking on something on behalf of the Fourth Prince. She wanted no part of this—she only hoped it was merely her own wild imagination! She clenched her fists tightly.
Upon seeing the Fourth Prince, Yue'er wept even more bitterly. "Fourth... Fourth Prince..." Indeed, he was a pillar of strength; in this life-or-death moment, his appearance offered a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Locked up in the police station." Ah Xu was overwhelmed by the old lady's imposing aura, reverting to servile servant habits as he nodded and bowed.
Only then did Zhang Nianzu realize this person was Bian Shikai. The last time on Changsheng Street, Bian Shikai had only flashed past, and he hadn't seen his face clearly.
Li San also felt helpless. He took a deep breath, stretched lazily, picked up his heavy coat, and prepared to set out. There was no help for it; no matter how cold the weather, the team had to go out.
