Chapter 56: Uncle, What Are You Saying?

Sang Fuying recounted to Sang Yao in detail everything about her and Merl's journey to the slum planet. However, when she mentioned Merl asking her to soothe him, her eyes began to unconsciously dart away, and even her fair, delicate face flushed with a rosy hue.

She still could not bring herself to tell her uncle about the process of kissing.

The more Sang Yao listened, the deeper his brows furrowed. He seized upon the detail Sang Fuying had attempted to gloss over and pressed further, "Yingying, Merl asked you to soothe him, and then?"

"Then, I and him—"

Striving to calm her turbulent mind, she instead shifted tactics entirely. The other party was a madman; one could not act according to a madman's logic, but had to match wits and courage with him.

Before long, cold sweat was streaming down his forehead. What if the three medicinal herbs required to create the antidote were actually auxiliary ingredients that enhanced the potency of the spiritual foundation? If they had to wait for an entire cultivation cycle, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"There's no need to take the electric scooter, let's just hail a taxi instead." Li Hao, who had been a professional race car driver in his past life, scarcely dared to trust Gu Sizhe's driving skills. Although one was a rally car and the other an electric scooter, he had no desire to entrust his personal safety to someone else's hands.

At two o'clock in the morning, the thirty elite soldiers in the observation room were secretly deployed into the frontline battlefield as a surprise force and fresh reserves for Huo Yishan.

Seeing that even the Supreme Elder was so cautious, Chengtian and Murong Mingyue also realized the gravity of the situation.

"I'm going on a business trip to the Bahamas to purchase a private island, so I need the two of you to come along and review the contract for me," Li Hao said to them with a slight smile.

"My spiritual veins are out of the ordinary? Immortal Master, your disciple does not understand, and begs you to speak plainly!" Li Shan bowed deeply in salute once more.

Meanwhile, Chengtian's entire body turned crimson, bulging veins standing out across his skin, which grew so red it seemed on the verge of bleeding.

"I will make you pay an extremely heavy price for what you've done today, Yiyang!" Xuanye's killing intent surged uncontrollably, his face turning purple-red as if he were beside himself with rage.

Watching the figures of the two depart, Xuanxin's smile froze, gradually turning into a chilling expression, and finally twisting into something ferocious.

Walking into Yizhou City with a head full of questions, Ouyang Yu led Yin Ping'er into a restaurant.

After purchasing the medicinal pills, Chen Hao led Tao Qingqing to an establishment called Yue Lai Restaurant, paused for a moment outside, and then stepped inside.

Seeing Lin Xi agree to become a member of Luohua Martial Arts Academy, Ling Ruoxi couldn't help glancing over at Bu Feiyan, even giving a subtle flick of her left eyebrow.

Shen stood like a stone statue, watching all of this with cold detachment. He looked at his father's eyes filled with resentment, and his mother's eyes that still gazed at him with maternal tenderness.

Zhou Yan shook his head, leaped forward to meet Sun Hongyi, and with a rapid sequence of slaps—*pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa*—Sun Hongyi's face instantly swelled up.

Just as Jiang Dong walked out of the headwind internet cafe, a graceful figure brushed past him. Then, both of them came to a halt.

The plot typically dramatized in folklore and plays dictates that after Xi Shi helped the State of Yue destroy the State of Wu, on one hand, she felt a sense of relief for having fulfilled her mission. On the other hand, she also felt a sense of guilt, believing she had wronged King Fucha of Wu. Trapped in this intensely contradictory psychological torment from which she could find no release, she ultimately hanged herself within Guwa Palace.

Zhu Tuan was bruised and battered, though his injuries appeared to be merely superficial, leaving him trembling slightly. And understandably so—Yan Huang's own heart was hammering wildly in his chest. Who could remain completely calm when faced with such an event? Even special forces soldiers could hardly manage it. It was simply a physiological reaction.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen found it utterly unbelievable. After all, everyone knew the true strength of the Fifteenth High School's e-sports club; on what grounds could the Fifteenth High School possibly compete with the Tenth High School?

"Fine!" Ji You decisively shook off Ji Mian's hand and walked away toward the other side hand in hand with Feng Guang.

One must act within one's capabilities; she certainly wasn't going to sacrifice her life for righteousness. A life like hers was far too precious.

The black tire flew three or four meters into the air before crashing down onto the hood of the car, denting the pure black surface deeply. The loss of the front tire caused the accelerating vehicle to instantly spin out of control, sliding wildly in circles on the spot before plunging, along with its occupant, straight down into the mountain cliff below.
