Chapter 31: Gale-Wrath Dragon Flame

Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang tidied her hair, a helpless, bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Immediately afterward, Yue Jilin appeared before them dressed in splendid brocade robes, his face concealed by a mask as smooth and gentle as jade.

Xiao Nuanqing had originally wanted Yu Yan to stay at the Lu residence, but Yu Yan insisted on returning to his own lodgings, so she did not press him.

After collecting the goods, Lu Sheng took a taxi straight to the school. With some time still left, she first needed to plan how to reinforce Sun Tiantian’s dormitory with proper security measures.

At dawn the next day, Liu Hefeng opened her eyes. Unable to fall asleep again no matter how much she tossed and turned, she simply got up. By the time she scooped up water to wash her face, Yang Hehua had already emerged from the main room.

Seeing everyone strip and lower their heads for inspection, Rocket, the foolish dog, assumed they were playing some sort of game and excitedly ran three laps around them all.

Lan Yinruo was simple-minded; whatever she thought was written plainly across her face. Like meant like, dislike meant dislike. She was nothing like those people of low rank who enjoyed stabbing others in the back. Though Nie Shuangshuang did not particularly like her, neither did she dislike her.

“There are many similar experimental subjects in their biological laboratory.” Having spent so much time at the CM Corporation as a test subject, Xiao Ning had heard things from every direction and knew nearly seventy or eighty percent of the company’s secrets.

As Lu Xun drew nearer, Lü Yun could distinctly sense an extremely restless emotion emanating from the Shadow Parasite Gu.

I suddenly remembered that the Blood Aura technique consumed yin-baleful energy. I crouched down and picked up a leaf, then recited the incantation for Blood Aura. At once, a red glow spread across the leaf.

The soft words of comfort gently dispelled the gloom in Xia Xuezi’s heart. Her hair clung to the corner of her eye, dampened by tears.

Tang Xiang’s laughter made the window lattice tremble faintly. Even as he laughed wildly, it seemed that something had pushed aside the still-frozen earth near the inn and crawled out from below. Yet the sound of the soil shifting outside the inn was perfectly concealed by Tang Xiang’s laughter.

The pain was in my muscles. I had exercised too intensely, and even rest could not restore them completely. Just now, I had been stepping through the cold water with an uneven stride, and they had begun to cramp. I crouched down again and rubbed them vigorously twice, but there was still no improvement.

This new golden ring really had been made for summoners. All four of its attributes were useful to them.

I began walking again and noticed nothing unusual. Perhaps that moment had merely been an illusion, I told myself. But then I could not take another step. I distinctly felt something seize my ankle with tremendous force, pressing my foot straight down into the water and squeezing until my ankle throbbed with pain.

Tianqi had not yet spoken when Chunying, standing beside him, asked, “Could it be that the consort has been too busy with one matter after another? Or perhaps he has gone elsewhere on official business?”

Princess Ninde blushed and shook her head. She looked at Tianqi and parted her lips, but in the end said nothing.

Old Huang’s flashlight beam swung wildly. My vision swam, yet even at such a dangerous moment I was still letting my thoughts run wild. I had to save Old Huang now.

“Of course. I may never have told you this, but although I’m a glutton, I know a great deal about food, so I can make all kinds of delicious dishes,” Ouyang Yingqi said without the slightest modesty.

At that moment, Ye Yuqing awoke from her deep sleep. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Ouyang Shanglie lost in thought, so absorbed that he seemed unaware of everything around him.

One possibility was that, as mentioned before, Dan Yu Liangsheng had been manipulated by the Divine Might Mask and, against his own will, revealed matters concerning another world. But no one knew why that “split personality belonging to the mask” had chosen to make the matter public.

Ding Huo stared in utter astonishment at the thing blasted out of the ground. It had short arms and legs, a huge thick tortoiseshell on its back, and a bald head. Its eyes were lecherous. After giving Ding Huo a single glance, it fixed its gaze fiercely upon Violet Orchid, its eyes seeming sharp enough to strip the clothes from her body.

When Feng Wuming heard that sound, he hurriedly told everyone to cover their ears. If they continued listening, the sound would deafen them.

It was the first time Ding Huo had seen the Wind Wheel moving freely. He had originally thought that it could only be used by being trampled beneath the feet of the Six Realms.

But Shelley was clearly confused now. There was blood—she really was bleeding—but she did not seem to feel any pain at all. What puzzled her even more was why she should feel pain in the first place.

At the same time, Ma Qiang moved as well, following close behind the Earth-Shattering Wolf as he pounced toward Chen San.

Since it was Hu Guoshan’s order, he could only leave one regiment behind as a reserve for him. Bai Chongxi was capable in every respect, so Ma Wanzhong felt at ease entrusting the matter to him.

Li Tianyou chose neither retreat nor evasion. Instead, he took the blow head-on. When facing a master of the blade, even the slightest hesitation would leave one at an absolute disadvantage.

After Li Ziyuan arrived, he directly rejected the battalion commander’s plan to continue sending reinforcements to the blocking position. Although the force currently stationed on the mountain consisted of only an advance company, one company was already sufficient for the relatively small East Mountain. Sending more troops would merely offer the Japanese artillery more targets.

Ding Huo suddenly arched backward, his entire body curving like a bow. A streak of sword light born from the wind shot over him. Strangely, after being evaded, the sword light vanished back into the wind.

By then, Shen Siyu’s anger had also dissipated. She watched helplessly, half amused and half exasperated, as the beautiful older woman in uniform continued whispering something into her ear.

Only after Yu Meixi returned to her room did she realize that her face was already covered in tears.

Yiyi had thought Qin Ming was agreeing to her, but he had merely questioned what she had said again, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

The disciple’s face turned deathly pale at those words, and he hurriedly tried to explain. Xiang Qing flicked his sleeve.

“Get out!”

A tremendous force sent both him and the person lying on the ground flying dozens of yards away. Still shaken, the disciple heard Xiang Qing’s voice carrying from afar:

“I shall soon be going to Golden Radiance Valley to see whether Song Shide still remembers the rules of the sect.”
