Chapter 34: This Is Outrageous

“Jiang Chen, I’ve noticed that you seem to be rather enjoying yourself, aren’t you?”

Inside the car, Chu Qingcheng had sipped some red wine. Her delicate face was tinged with a faint blush, her fair skin glowing with a touch of red. In the darkness of night, her cool beauty carried a hint of languidness, making her appear even more noble and stunning.

She slowly turned her head, her exquisitely beautiful face illuminated by the deep gaze of her eyes fixed on Jiang Chen. “Are you…”

When she was told it was the order of Master Withered Wood, she had no choice but to give up her plan and obediently return to Greenwood Peak.

If An Xia really does transfer to another school one day, don’t blame me for being unkind. I’ll just go home and rest, and won’t take up the position again. Whichever school the child attends, I’ll go teach there. For such a rare talent, you must take this seriously.

This was a rare opportunity for her— she would seldom have the chance to be out alone for so long in the future, so she cherished it deeply.

“It seems there’s no more drinks left. Shen Yin, come with me to buy some. Let them tinker around here, at least they won’t blow up the kitchen.” Ji Lingxi pulled Shen Yin out once again to buy drinks. Even though it was still the New Year period, there were always some shops that opened early, so there was no worry about not finding anything.

Gu Qishen was also moved by Han Yixian’s words. “Of course I know that many impoverished families can’t afford medical treatment, let alone the long-term care required for tuberculosis. The most frightening thing is how contagious it is. Even if we can’t eradicate it, it’s good enough to reduce the number of patients in our city. I wholeheartedly support Yuhan’s proposal.”

Just like the incident between Ji Mo and Jasmine, or even further back— those who took their own lives because of public opinion. It truly proves the old saying: ‘A kind word keeps the cold of three winters at bay; a harsh word wounds like frost in June.’

She had once killed many people just to survive, and on the battlefield she had cut down tens of thousands. All in all, she had taken countless lives.

Along the roadside, the various shops displayed a bewildering array of items: severed limbs of strange beasts, exotic spiritual treasures, all manner of rare and curious ghosts and precious eggs, and even some openly trafficking in slaves of different races.

On the day she was due to give birth, Qin Chang scoured a vast area by tracking the assassins sent to kill her, and finally found her.

Ji Longjun had mentally prepared himself, but suddenly his nose stung with emotion. Was he really ready to face it? He didn’t know.

Today, the residence was hosting a banquet for talented scholars, some of whom had influential backgrounds. Naturally, no one dared to act recklessly.

The collision barely left the two of them with mere scratches. Leng Yikai was unharmed, so of course Qin Si would be fine as well.

The two of them ran off, but Guan Xiaojun and Guan Shanhu dared not flee. They exchanged glances and, bracing themselves, walked up to Guan Yunshan.

A certain game had driven all its players to resort to shameless underhanded tactics— truly, nothing like this had ever happened before.

I hadn’t even finished speaking to you before you ran off on your own. What if they refuse to sell you the item?

Chi Yan always loved making a fuss. When he said someone was dead, it might just be someone gravely injured. He’d rush over to check—there could be a chance to save a life.

As for why they didn’t just kill them outright, it was because for every “key” destroyed, a new one would be born. Mo Dai didn't want to take that risk—better to keep danger where she could see it, right under her nose.

Of course, this space-time pulse wasn’t strong enough to control the TPC’s spatial interference device yet. It only created an interference zone with a thirty-kilometer radius centered on the TPC Earth Base, even disrupting undersea fiber optic cables.

Finally, there was the Atlantis itself. It had already been teetering on the brink of collapse due to lack of energy, and now, after the recoil from the Max Cannon, it went from barely holding together to plunging almost vertically downward.

After Su Ha halted, the group stopped as well. Separated by a towering gate, they went no further. With his right hand resting on a massive sword, he squinted his eyes.
