Chapter 121: You Are Not Worthy

“Shiyun, Xiaoyu, I...” Chen Kedi wanted to explain, but the words caught in his throat and would not come out.

“There is no need to explain. Your choice has already said everything.” Lin Yu spoke at last, staring coldly at him. He was deeply disappointed in Chen Kedi; never had he imagined that Chen Kedi would actually...

Far away, from the great mountains, the fluctuations of spiritual energy had stirred the cries of all kinds of beasts—foxes, yellow weasels, wolves, bears, tigers. Every species seemed to be present. Dai Mao thought to himself that they were truly fortunate. If he had not already had meat to eat and developed a fondness for fish and shrimp, those beasts would have been in for a terrible time.

In the past, if anyone had treated him this way, he would have lost his temper long ago. Yet in the presence of Luo Yan, his temper simply vanished.

The Heavenly Fire Arrow, burning like the flames of infernal judgment, seemed to be a natural nemesis of zombies. After devouring a considerable amount of human flesh, Zhou Tanghao had evolved into a mutant among the first-rank zombies, with his abilities doubled. That was why Song Xi, despite having trained bitterly for many days as a one-star warrior, was still no match for him.

Feng Suyuan was unwilling to accept it. Every so often she glanced back, but outside Chongde Hall, apart from the guards on duty and the eunuchs attending their posts, she could not see that familiar figure.

Yichen had not wanted to agree at first, but You Bonian said that he would never summon him unless it was absolutely necessary. He knew how reluctant Yichen was to leave Xu Ning’s side. A-Ning was out of danger, but she had yet to regain consciousness, and even the doctor had angrily demanded to know when she would wake up.

When the progress bar reached the part where the Blue Team was supposed to learn square dancing, they had not even begun before everyone started flooding the screen with comments reading, “High-energy warning ahead!”

Even if rumors plagued her tomorrow, even if she had to face the questioning of Zichuan Mo and Ling Hong, Lin Feiyu no longer cared.

Feng Shu’s face darkened, and she said nothing. She merely kept her expression stern while increasing the force in her hand. One sword and one beast both realized that she was angry and finally quieted down.

Lin Feiyu, however, did not stop moving. Taking advantage of the moment, he flashed a considerable distance away, stepping through the void as though walking on level ground. Once his figure steadied, he swept still farther away. Strangely, beneath Lin Feiyu’s feet in the empty air, wisps of white mist began to rise, as though the void itself had been rubbed raw, before vanishing without a trace.

This time, Jun Lin showed no mercy. He flicked her forehead hard, producing a sharp crack. Her skin reddened instantly.

I lowered myself and lifted Liu Tianxue’s body. Looking at her slightly weary face, I felt my nose sting, and a crystalline tear splashed onto her chest.

The man in black narrowed his eyes and watched Shi Quan with a beaming smile, speaking as he examined him from head to toe again and again. His expression shifted between suspicion, excitement, and curiosity. Though the man in black displayed a wealth of emotions, Shi Quan seemed oblivious to them. He was utterly stunned by the appearance of the person before him, so astonished that his mind briefly short-circuited and he forgot where he was.

I pondered for a moment. “Perhaps.” I seized the remote and began changing channels. “Maybe he has troubles he cannot speak of. But you promised me that he would come back.”

Lin Aoxue snatched the remote away and switched off the television. “No more watching. Look at me.”

My face ashen, I stared at her without blinking.

After flying back and forth through the sky countless times, Tang Feng finally landed, stretched lazily, and did not take off again. Instead, he turned to Shui Shang beside him and asked a question.

The bone sword thrust upward with all its strength, its blade piercing beneath the spotted tiger’s jaw. The beast began struggling with all four paws, its entire body trembling. When damage numbers appeared above its head, its limbs suddenly went still, and two copper coins dropped out.

No one knew how many years had passed when Pangu, the Father of the Realms, suddenly reappeared on Earth. He led the gods and demons in an assault on another dimension—a space the gods and demons called the Chaos Realm.

The Black-and-White Diamond Pattern believed she was heading for Ouchet, indulging in the naive daydream of a young person seizing opportunities and striking it rich. In truth, her destination lay midway along the journey. Once she had safely passed Canniro, she would return to the village adjoining Taxi Luying and Ouchet—the cemetery there, where the Tear Eaters ran rampant.
