Chapter 52: She Is My Biological Sister

“Hmph, remember the pain you feel today and the words you’ve spoken—don’t forget them the moment you turn around. Now get lost.”
Lin Yu waved his hand, signaling Zhao Qiang to leave.

At this moment, Zhao Qiang couldn’t stand to remain here even a second longer. He struggled to his feet and ran off without a backward glance.

Those few young men who had accompanied him to the bar earlier, hoping for some fun, witnessed the whole scene unfold. Their faces were…

With a crash, a glass bottle shattered into powder. I saw clearly as a wisp of inky-black gloom seeped out from the bottle, drifting upward into the air.

That corpse, shadowed by yin energy, had been watching the thicket where Zhao Man and I hid. When I stepped out, its green eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a howl, it rushed straight toward us.

From what King Yan had said, could there be some connection between the red smoke and that ancient soul, sealed for thousands of years? Or perhaps everything the red smoke was doing now was in preparation for that ancient spirit’s return?

After several rounds of negotiation, we finally chose the MGM—because they offered the highest share and would provide more resources. By comparison, their terms were the most generous.

In Guangxing’s hands, the sword of black and white radiated with dazzling brilliance. The white light blazed like the sun, while the black gleam was as deep and devouring as a black hole.

Bear in mind, it had been nearly eight months since the last time this foreign steward delivered spiritual materials.

A year later, while Chen Tian was away, the four strongest warriors of the Ice Tribe launched a surprise attack. With no other choice, he revealed his true strength. Locked in a battle with the Ice Tribe’s mightiest, he finally drove away their champion at the cost of only minor injuries—a feat that astonished the entire planet.

Seeing her expression, Qiao Yun became even more certain of her suspicions. She comforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder, then turned her gaze upward to continue paying close attention as Princess Greenbud worked to awaken Qiao Yuyan—a task of great importance.

“The Imperial Guard? You broke into the palace?” No way—he’s not content with sneaking into the harem by day, but comes to the palace at night as well? What could possibly be drawing him inside?

“Fatty, you should know what’s really going on here. Now that things have started, if none of us wants to be cursed, don’t we have to go to that place? Tell the truth, Fatty—maybe together we can find a way out.” Zhao Qiuyang patted Fatty’s shoulder as he spoke.

“Let’s go…” Some of those who had come just to watch the excitement, who hadn’t participated in the bidding and felt they had no chance of obtaining the Sky-Crying Refined Gold, began to rise and leave.

All the skills were thrown into that spatial circle. Then, not far from Old Ghost, a portal suddenly appeared, and several area spells rained down, instantly causing heavy casualties.

I understood perfectly what she meant. If I were to back down to Gao Zhen now, I’d only get beaten and thrown out. But if I called for reinforcements…

Of everyone present, Zeus was the most anxious. He never imagined that the Mad God he had discarded would become such a formidable thorn in his side after following the City Lord.

To the side, Zhao Wuji’s eyes gleamed with contempt. After yesterday’s incident at the Tianwu Tavern, he had lost all patience for Luo Hao and his companions.

Inside the car, Lei Sheng frowned deeply as he watched Chen Xiaoran’s retreating figure.

We followed Zhao Yan all the way to her dormitory. University courses were few and far between, so even though it was class time, when we arrived at Zhao Yan’s dorm, all her roommates were there.

Since she was a child, Yue Wuxin had always worried—worried that her family would marry her off to one of the city’s young lords.

Luo Hao spoke up: only once all of them reached the Heavenly Origin Realm would they be qualified to compete with the outside world. Especially Qiu Wudi—if he couldn’t be dealt with, he would surely become a future disaster.
