Chapter 28: Addressing Someone
As for Feng Guichen, the words he spoke by his bedside two days ago were pearls of wisdom, each one striking a chord deep within Zhu Yuan’s heart. Although the "Unseal Secret Manual" skill swap has a time limit, every use reduces its cooldown by 20 seconds; now, Wang Wu can swap skills every three minutes or so.
"Fine, no problem." I covered my nose with my hand; the pungent spice was simply too overwhelming, and I found it hard to endure.
At this moment, he too was overcome by a wave of intense dizziness, after which he dripped his blood into Jin Wuming’s mouth.
Long San did not take to the air. Even though his cultivation had reached the early Nascent Soul stage, heaven only knew how many hidden dangers lurked in this mutated world.
"Right under my nose, I dare you to try," Wei Mingxian said, her eyes fixed on the road, her tone carrying an authority that required no anger to be felt.
It did not matter if they were interrupted, as both were growth-type abilities that could not be fully unleashed all at once in any case.
The moment Neo saw the recording of Maya, he was certain she was his sister. He rushed to find her, only to be held back by Hori.
"Sister Tan, what did the letter received by the Tan family say?" Wang Xianzhang asked, seemingly casual, yet his words were full of probing.
This passage was about thirty zhang wide and a thousand zhang long, spanning from the "dragon head" to the "dragon tail"; it was the main corridor of the entire Wind and Cloud vessel.
Chu Fan was left speechless, feeling deeply frustrated. You don’t have much money, yet you don’t want to owe anyone favors—this is truly difficult to please.
The wings behind him fanned a sinister wind, causing his own hair to dance in chaotic disarray, which only made his face appear all the more deathly pale, savage, and terrifying.
Once a man has a child, his mindset shifts instantly from "son" to "father." As long as the mother isn't too terrible, children will always lean toward their mother, and a father will begin to consider problems from that perspective.
"It will be too late once we defect. We suffered a secret loss last time, and you were kicked out of the police headquarters because of it. This time, we must strike first, kill the Professor, and frame them for it so they get nothing. That way, we can loot the burning house!" the shrill voice swaying in the wind hissed sinisterly.
His blind loyalty meant he would consider all matters from the perspective of the Yan family. Thus, upon hearing the news about Meteor, he realized that such a talent would surely be heavily relied upon by the main house and was destined to rise to prominence one day.
The only difference was that this thing had no physical form; its body seemed composed entirely of energy, which is why it appeared as a purple phantom. Furthermore, while it possessed eyes, there was little intelligence in its gaze; instead, like a wild beast, it was filled with bloody, cruel savagery.
This felt like two slaps across the face, leaving them feeling so incredibly ashamed and indignant that they wished they could crawl into a hole.
Moreover, Luan Xiong had tried to kill him time and again, and had nearly succeeded this last time. He was now eager for revenge; missing this duel would mean losing a perfect opportunity to strike back.
China's economy is in a state of wild growth. There are many benefits, of course, but there are drawbacks as well. Any creative work contains ideas, and to avoid extreme influences, the SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television) has begun to exert its power. As to how appropriate the intensity of this exertion is, or who bears the greater share of merit or blame, that will be left for posterity to judge.
He felt the high-proof, low-quality liquor, nearly sixty percent alcohol, flow from his throat down his digestive tract and straight into his stomach.
Qingshu pondered briefly; too much time would not be conducive to maintaining the heat, and he still had two rounds of promotion ahead.
She had intended to stay at the inn for the night and return to Holy Water Village the next day; she was already missing her wild wolf friends in the mountains.
"Uh, actually, the other side was injured worse than I was," Liu Yu added, trying to save face.
As Yan Jin spoke, Bai Ruoxuan couldn't help it and burst out laughing behind her hand.
He was a powerful minister who lacked the heart of a usurper; he was someone even the Emperor wanted to kill—there was no right or wrong, no good or evil, only stance.
"It would be best if Kakashi was toyed to death by Orochimaru; then I could go find Rin, right?" Akimichi Meichin thought happily as he ran back to the village after handing in his mission.
As expected, Bai Zhan was angered into leaving once again; it seemed as if this scene had played out countless times.
His heart was occupied only by scientific truth; this was the main reason Akimichi Meichin had been wary of Orochimaru all along.
The reason Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded was that he supported the common people, and the common people supported him; they assisted each other, and thus he achieved success.
It was just that one feared these two, clearly abandoned pawns, knew too little information to track down the true mastermind behind the scenes.
As soon as this mission appeared, the students swarmed forward. In the end, a freshman snatched it up. Although the upperclassmen couldn't stand the sight of the smug freshman, they merely sneered and did not rush to fight for it.
After Feng Jierou agreed to participate in the diagnosis of Dai Xianwei’s condition, the group relocated to the military sanatorium.
Redirecting his anger toward himself, Zhu Hailin stammered out the story of encountering Liu Ye in the room.
The man in black said with displeasure, were they looking for trouble? Having finally reached the final stage, how could he possibly give up?
"Really?" Lin Fan frowned. He knew Ning Qixia was staying with her parents in Europe and wasn't here. How could she be acting as a commentator, let alone commenting on his match today? That didn't seem right.
He truly couldn't bear to part with Zhang Xiaoyan. She was a top scholar, and when he had fought to bring her to the school, other principals had been green with envy.
Everyone looked up at the spot Liu Ye pointed to, discovering that in addition to the three wolves from before, four more were circling them from all directions. Did they see them as prey?
However, Qiu Yudie’s gear was not a skirt, so although she was a bit shy, it didn't really matter.
Otherwise, if signs of the Immortal Gate opening appeared while he was away, and other factions immediately joined forces to seal the area around the Gate, True Monarch Jinghong would never get the chance to step inside and grasp the first-hand intelligence of the Immortal Gate.
