Day Twenty

Since entering the Starry Great Forest, Shen Guhong had been distracted and absent-minded. Zhao Wuji knew well of Shen Guhong’s physique—he could withstand attacks from two soul emperors. Yet, they had only traveled a short distance, and he was already sweating so profusely.

Of course, Yun Wu was hungry, but at the thought of the only nutritional supplement they had left for takeout, she resolutely shook her head in refusal.

However, the contract was not yet due, and Fuzisu had stopped Dong Fangyi’s endorsement, which meant compensation for breach of contract was necessary.

Meng Xuan stepped forward and grabbed Qin Zhen’s wrist. Startled, Qin Zhen snapped back to awareness.

But was there any medicine for regret in this world? Now she could only watch helplessly as the Black and White Impermanences slowly closed in on her.

“My single name is Xue,” she said softly. “My father said I was born when heavy snow fell from the sky, so he named me thus. As for how you address me, sir, whichever you find convenient.” Her temperament truly bore a touch of ice and snow—soft and gentle, yet cool and chilling.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Shen Guhong’s bloodshot eyes and parted his mouth as if to speak, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

What good was knowing? Though unwilling, he was still too weak now to stop this from happening.

After Qin Zhen’s explanation, everyone felt a strange sensation deep within—the realization that they were not dispensable in this group, that they each possessed unique strengths and could contribute to the team. It was just that their moment to shine had not yet come.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Bai Yujing sailed through the ocean; Bai Yujing’s nature was cold, so most of the conversation was carried by the Demon Whale King.

As Ning Yang’s fingers slowly curled, a misty haze accompanied by chanting slowly drifted over the stone village. In an instant, a massive portal, as if forged from the laws of the universe, appeared in the sky.

Finally, the restless Yan Xishan stubbornly refused to align with Yan’an or the Vanguard Army, nor did he answer the call of Jiang the Bald. He simply dragged things out, delaying as long as possible. Over time, it would become clear who had the greater chance of victory, and he would naturally align with them.

The struggle consumed much time; night had fully fallen, and the forest was perilous, punctuated occasionally by the howls of wolves and tigers.

In his previous life as a Chinese person born in the ’90s, Ning Yang had never known the pangs of hunger or want.

Jing Cheng was surprised; he did not expect Wan Ru to be so resolute. “Wan Ru, Wan Ru, I was wrong, forgive me!” He had thought that after Jing De’s death, Wan Ru would follow him with unwavering loyalty.

Reality was cruel. Most of his replies were edited out, leaving only a few brief exchanges.

A burst of enthusiastic applause interrupted his reverie. He looked up to see everyone gazing at him with a variety of expressions, leaving him overwhelmed and unsure how to respond.

At that moment, Zhang Xiao, who had just entered the city, immediately spotted large numbers of panicked Kuomintang soldiers ahead. No matter how they thought about it, they could not understand how a city guarded by so many soldiers had fallen. A fierce battle erupted immediately.

“Alright.” Wang Feng hung up the phone, asked for half a day off from his homeroom teacher, and arrived at the school gate.

Though he had just said the words to himself, as Gao Xunqing’s teacher, he felt compelled to pass on this belief.

In the distance, thunderclouds flashed like black storms; following closely was a blazing fireball and a faint blue light that coalesced into a massive sword. The blade and hilt were clearly defined.

Before he could take even half a step and flee, the multicolored dinosaur suddenly turned sharply and swept its gaze toward one spot. It lifted its foot with a thunderous stomp. Astonishingly, its entire footpad was nearly half a zhang long.

“In a moment, this lady will let you witness the power of a peerless divine weapon!” Chang’e seemed to be waiting calmly, but her mind flickered with countless thoughts.

The Azure Dragon God silently advanced. Suddenly, two enormous dragon claw-shaped phantoms appeared midair, their scales and talons distinct, exuding a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura.

The Fishman Kingdom’s King Neptune and Princess Otohime, out of desperation, could only send Jinbei, now the chief guard, to seek help from Tang Ming.

With the first move made, others followed suit, and people eagerly ordered dishes. If Xu Xiangqing did not prepare a full fish banquet that night, she would surely make enemies.

Yet, the more worlds Tang Quan experienced, the more indifferent he became. Those who thrived among the elite all harbored desires for power. No matter how one tried to control them, it was futile. Consider Captain America 3’s Civil War—because the higher-ups wanted to control the Avengers, the result was the fracturing of an already disunited team.

Tang Ming furrowed his brow, his tone softening as he advised, “Lei Wa, listen to your big brother. You don’t need the Celestial Dragons to work for the government. I can arrange it for you. Come back now; we all want to see you.”

The River Styx paid no mind as she slowly dressed and sat cross-legged. Though she had regained much due to the Supreme One’s efforts, the blade energy from Tang Quan’s strike had not yet been expelled. She intended to continue recovering her peak strength before refining the Blood God’s son in the Blood Sea.

“Take these nine dragon sinews. Perhaps one day you’ll have another chance to forge an ancient celestial zither.” Yin Zhiyao accepted the dragon sinews, and together they bowed toward the spot where the nine-tailed jade-faced dragon had perished.

After hearing Qin Wangshu recount the story of meeting Jiang Yunzhou and registering their marriage, Huo Chuqing felt both joy and worry. But since they had their certificate, she chose not to speak ill of omens.

Better to be cautious, better to shrink back and arrive safely at the base. Then she could peacefully search for her brother.

“But we have worked hard for ten years for revenge. Are you really going to give up? That would make all our efforts for nothing.” Li Xin, though prepared, could not hide his surprise and bitterness.

Hu Tong understood his meaning and knew her own predicament well. Even if he did nothing, he could not rise higher. For her future’s sake and his safety, it was best to navigate carefully, ensuring that neither Guo Ziping nor Dai Yixi would fall.

Pei Chengjun looked at her, an inexplicable emotion swelling in his chest. Suddenly, a car horn sounded behind them. He suddenly came to his senses and smiled at her.
