Chapter 55

So, there’s no need to hurry into anything, nor to pursue anything deliberately. No matter what happens, the stars will turn at their own rhythm, just as they have in the past and will in the future.

Beneath white wings stood Mia, her hood removed. Her silver-blue hair cascaded down, and her deep blue eyes gazed at Ulysses with excitement. Her slightly pointed ears trembled with shyness, unable to believe happiness had arrived so suddenly.

Wang Li began to organize the last great harvest from this journey to the Divine Eagle world: the mystery of preserving the soul in this realm, and its comparison to the lucid souls from the Strange Tales world. He had acquired a fascinating piece of knowledge.

“Beautiful… so beautiful…” Rain Sand’s face flushed red, and the momentum she’d just built up evaporated in an instant.

“This is a misunderstanding…” Starstone rarely blushed, her gaze flickering toward Mithril beside her.

Over the past year, Bai Yong had grown in both experience and vision—outwitting others, braving danger, honing his will, even sparring with experts of the Void Realm. These were things impossible for those who remained at home, immersed in cultivation.

Xiahou Yuan led his army before Huang Zhong’s camp, hurling curses and challenges. Huang Zhong, seeing the general raise a white flag atop the hill, allowed Xiahou Yuan to insult him all he liked, while he sat calmly in camp, refusing to fight.

Li Wei nodded quickly, handing over the “Monkey’s Arm” given to him by the Hundred-Eyed Demon, as well as the item from April First: “Task completed, I’m off.” “The task has only just begun… Li Wei, twenty-five years and three months old. Of course, in some timelines, your task began long ago, in others, not yet.”

The remaining bones of the eight-headed demon dragon Kasa did not escape their fate. These bones, imbued with powerful draconic energy and tough enough to withstand most forbidden spells, were sliced into fragments by the black line.

But Chen Luo thought further—rumor had it that Blue Sky Group’s finances were troubled, and needed support from Su Mufei’s family. This marriage was imperative, a desperate measure. Yet Qin Zhongtian’s actions seemed like self-sabotage. The situation grew increasingly perplexing.

As we advanced, I noticed the Jiuli camp ahead ablaze with lanterns and torches, their pine lights forming a sea of fire. Countless Jiuli soldiers gathered, forming a neat phalanx. Should our side pursue further, we would enter their firing range.

At eight in the evening, as the city’s lights came alive, shimmering neon brought a unique feeling to the night. Cloaked in darkness, who could know what filth was unfolding in this city?

I approached the man and saw blood everywhere on the mountain ground. His expression was terrifying—eyes wide open, blood gushing from his mouth, body still struggling. Though not yet dead, the wounds on his limbs were bleeding profusely; survival was impossible.

Before he could speak, the restaurant manager burst out, excited, and after a few polite exchanges, personally led him to a private room.

“You want to fight? Very well, brother will fight with you.” The man brushed his waist, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

“Mm, I’m feeling a bit better!” Liu Qingyao nodded gently, leaning against the battered car.

Chen Yan was dead, so Chen Lu had to take up the position of head of the Chen family. Fang Ruoruo was reluctant, but at this moment, the family needed someone to take charge, or else the clan would truly scatter.

Each figure wore a black cloak, appearing silently and advancing toward the castle without a sound.

After the spirit expanded from the depths of Chu Yi’s brain, he felt as if he were really at the bottom of the ocean.

It took about a day to reach the Su family; by the time they returned, dusk had already fallen.

“Stop.” Chang’e spoke, her voice tinged with coldness. The professor even noticed he was exhaling white breath.

With the topic of the Underworld Physician settled, practical concerns arose. They had jumped off the cliff, leaving their packs and horses above, now likely in the hands of the Tiger Escort Agency. Without money or mounts, how could they reach the Free Domain?

Wu Min walked beside Lin Jin, watching the two bicker. She shook her head with helpless amusement, making no attempt to intervene, yet the smile on her lips suggested she found Lin Jin’s quirky demeanor rather endearing.

Evenings at school were usually dull. Lin Jin used to drag Wu Min and Lin Xin from next door to play Dota at night; now, he was too busy for games, instead connecting his phone to wifi and searching for simple makeup tutorial videos.

Facing Bai Li Mochen’s pitch-black, deep, and cold gaze, Bai Li Motian shivered, unconsciously touching his nose and letting out a couple of awkward laughs.

If the monkey was in the Sixth Ghost Domain, all would be well; if not, Luo Lin could leave when the time came.

“Got it.” For some reason, Lin Jin saw Rachel’s indifferent expression in those few words.

As they chatted merrily, a shadow slipped into the courtyard. Everyone was startled, but upon closer inspection, it was Shi Rui Ning, head bowed, looking utterly dejected.

In the next moment, the man watched in disbelief as Ye Yanqing’s long sword pierced his body.

The wild grass on the plain was lush and green, like a jade carpet stretching to the horizon. As he walked, he savored this rare tranquility.
