Chapter 121: How Did You Know It Was Me?
Wen Ni stood at the doorway. “Uncle, there’s something I’d like to tell you.”
Zhou Chengli nodded. “Come in.”
Wen Ni walked inside, closing the door behind her.
Zhou Chengli saw the door shut and instinctively wanted to say something, but Wen Ni had already approached and didn’t open it again.
She sat opposite Zhou Chengli, pressing her lips together.
Her beautiful face carried a hint of mystery and nervousness. “Uncle, I want to talk to you about my mother.”
“Go on, why wouldn’t I? But you’re not tricking me, are you?” Lin Yanan asked suspiciously.
Today was no exception. After bathing her, Ying’er lay on the bed and video-called Qin Shitong, using the phone Qin Shitong had left her.
Before the words had finished, as his true energy erupted, the rocks and air around him within several meters fractured with countless cracks, as if slashed by a thousand knives.
Li Wei listened, wiped his nose, and replied carelessly, “Tch, what good luck? We don’t expect any for this exam! Besides, who says the first draw is always the best? Maybe mine will turn out even better!” With that, Li Wei ignored Uncle Kabu’s reaction and drew a slip from the lottery box.
Just as the two were about to act, a terrifyingly powerful punch surged across the grand hall, cutting through the void—a force so overwhelming, it gave the impression of heaven and earth being destroyed.
The first dinner in the great city found Ren Tian absent-minded, while Zhi Ze and the others ate without enthusiasm. After dinner, Ren Tian climbed onto the rooftop, lying back to watch the faint, shimmering stars.
When Emperor Ye and the ST team entered, the venue instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.
“Thank… you…” The gang members looked gratefully at Treyno. Before they fell into the pit, Treyno had cast his spell in time to save them. Morgana glared at him, dissatisfied: Even now, you’re thinking of rescuing the ‘enemy’?
Using a specially made chain, he tied him up and set him aside, his heart pounding as he gazed at the armor—the final and most important piece of the Divine King’s set. He wondered what transformation would occur once it was worn.
Lin Jing and his three companions fared slightly better, though troubles seemed to follow one after another. Especially Lin Jing, who since entering the forest had never ceased encountering danger. Suddenly, he realized that the three celestial masters—the bald elder among them—were nothing compared to these threats; in fact, they were simply delivering treasures to him.
“Reporting, Grand Elder, the bronze bell has been destroyed, but no trace of the enemy was found.” A disciple rushed in, terrified, to relay the news. Such bizarre events had surpassed his imagination.
Only when it was certain that the second brother was thoroughly frozen did the figure shake his hand and turn to look at the leopard demon chief, still trapped and unable to move.
He tried several times in quick succession; just then, the alarm sounded. Cui Bin was astonished—hadn’t he already cut the main power?
Hearing Evelea’s words, Song Miao paused, puzzled by her intentions. The game was about to start—why did she need the computer now?
“Sorry, Mr. Li is dining. If you have business, wait until he’s finished; then he’ll decide whether to see you.” The chief guard refused.
In fact, many generals in Xiao Village liked to take troops out for drills. These exercises not only quickly forged combat-ready soldiers, but also yielded spoils that were converted into silver and gold: two tenths went to the soldiers, two tenths to the generals, and the remaining six tenths were handed over.
Yet the Paladin Captain couldn’t fathom why the others insisted on such actions. Even if his shield was useless, he was gravely wounded and could die any moment—who would attack him now?
The star chart hadn’t been deployed yet when a gigantic ‘green meteor’ crashed down from the sky with the force of a mountain. It was the arrival of Great Witch Fort! With a wild cry, it hastily retreated into the depths of the planet.
