Chapter 36: Growing Ever More Intense

“She is, after all, the actual controller of Azure Dragon Capital. Although she doesn’t have the illustrious status of an aristocratic family, she’s certainly a top figure. Why were you so impulsive?”

“I feel like Uncle Jiang was just being polite. Now, our hopes for financial backing are probably dashed…”

…

The people here all appeared extremely busy, no different from the usual sights inside a traditional office building.

“You need not worry, he will be fine. At this moment, he has entered a certain state. This is not a loss of control. Look at his expression—it’s completely different from before. If you rush over now, you’ll only disrupt him, and then there truly will be no turning back.” The old Master Long looked at him and spoke in a comforting tone.

Under the watchful, half-lidded gaze of the man in the purple robe, a chilling crack suddenly resounded from within the bare-chested strongman’s body. A flash of blood appeared, and his head tumbled to the ground with a dull thud. In his eyes, still burning with resentment even in death, his rolling head had not yet come to rest before Taowu stomped it into a pulp with a single step.

As the two left Yangzhou City to head for the Celestial Path Sect, outside the city, Wu Fengzi and the others paced about anxiously. Shi Yan had already gone inside five or six days ago, yet there was still no news, and those they sent in had found nothing. Thus, he decided to venture in himself and see what was really going on.

“Your Majesty, I have something I wish to say to you in private.” Wei Yingran said, glancing apologetically at Jin Roujia and Peng Mo.

Seeing this, Bai Yichen halted his steps, for he realized that the old man’s escape route seemed to lead directly toward him.

He respectfully addressed Yunfeng as “big brother,” and held genuine respect for Yunlei and Yun Potian as well. Now that the two’s fates were uncertain, his murderous intent surged all the more!

“Order all cadets of the Naval Academy to participate in naval training in the Beibu Gulf starting October 1st. All academy warships are to set out for the Beibu Gulf,” Chen Ning commanded.

Since he wanted to take things slowly, she would accompany him. After her rebirth, if she had not mastered any other skills, she had at least learned the art of patience to perfection.

On May 25th, Sa Zhenbing sent a telegram: Lord Zai Xun would be inspecting Shandong’s coastal defenses and would arrive in Yantai, Shandong on the 28th, intending to discuss naval development with Chen Ning.

“You’re the expert in the jungle—whatever you say, we’ll do,” Ryuze Mika agreed readily, deferring to Lei’s judgment.

Li Xin smiled faintly and said, “Now, I’m not bullying you anymore. Hmph, I’ve told you everything I needed to—believe it or not, it’s up to you. I’m leaving.” With that, Li Xin scooped up the unconscious Sun Xue and strode outside.

“Let’s go get our luggage now—I can hardly wait…” Fukuda Meiling tugged at Kelly as she spoke.

As he finished, he reached forward and grabbed, and the Soul-Splitting Blade flew back into his hand. At the same time, the courtyard gates burst open, and Yang Min led the charge out.

It was unclear whether the Japanese Metropolitan Police officer failed to understand English, or simply had no intention of responding to Park Sangji’s question.

When she tried on the outfit, Nan Yu had been particularly fond of it, so she remembered every detail of its material and design with vivid clarity.

Yun Weizhong gasped for breath, feeling as if a ball of rage was about to burst from her chest. Her eyes were wide, nearly splitting, and she bit her lip fiercely.

Gradually, Yun Weizhong’s vision cleared. Looking around again, she found herself in a land nestled between mountains and water, a veritable paradise untouched by the world.

Nan Yu read through the furious comments left by netizens, their hatred palpable as they hurled insults and curses at her.

“Are you really leaving?” A hint of shyness flickered in Yaoyue’s beautiful eyes, and her graceful figure was enough to make one’s nose bleed at the sight.
