Chapter 58: Jungle Peril

"My Lady..."

Watching Jiang Zhuo lead a small white horse toward the hunting ground, Tonghua, following closely behind, asked with a hint of worry, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"No," Jiang Zhuo answered candidly.

"Then do you know how to shoot an arrow?"

"...I don't know that either." Jiang Zhuo's candid smile faltered with a guilty conscience.

"Then you?"

Tonghua furrowed her brow tightly.

"It shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Jiang Zhuo said, looking a bit embarrassed.

As she spoke, she let out a sigh, clearly expressing regret at not being able to see the legendary wooden cards made of yew wood—in this regard, she was exactly like Yu Sinian.

Out of some pity for Xiao Mei, Ye Yan seemed to gently press his palm against her back, channeling a stream of pure Dou Wang Qi into her body to soothe her pain.

Qu Tiaoliang always felt a chilling depth hidden beneath her gaze, which made him somewhat uneasy. With a polite yet awkward smile, he tried to brush it off.

Suddenly, Wan'er rushed in and told the Monitor Black Cat something extraordinary: the students from the top-tier science class were going to challenge Du Didong.

"Yet yesterday, a pilgrim asked me how the radishes grown at her home tasted~ But I never received any radishes from her; usually, she would leave them right on the stove!" The monk said, his eyes closed as he carried out his tasks with a deliberate, orderly, and unhurried pace.

Liang Fei was completely eroded by the Demonic Qi, and the surging power drove him to madness. His features were already distorted beyond human recognition, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes as he transformed into a bloodthirsty monster.

Of course, the afternoon was suitable for strolling as well, but Jing'er had not fully recovered yet. On such a rainy day, which was damp, hot, and sticky, she really didn't want to go out. Jiang Ji also felt tenderly for her; he had held her for a late-morning sleep and sent someone to the main courtyard to inform Chenxi that they would not be going today.

Especially the final reward, which increased his length by 1 cm and his stamina duration by 1 second.

"The thirteen of us met merely by chance; I am temporarily their leader," Shisanniang explained, realizing that Mo Butong had misunderstood.

Finally, boarding began. Zhang Long stepped onto the boarding bridge. Whether it was just psychological or something else, he always felt a slight sense of oddity, sensing some faint anomaly lingering in the void.

The battle situation shifted far too abruptly. Li Yuan had no time to ponder whether to fight or strategize; in just a few short minutes, more than half of the second regiment's thousand-plus soldiers were either dead or wounded.

There were still two bowls of noodles left inside—one belonged to Jill, and as for the other, they could surely taste a bit of it.

Just as Liu Ye and Xu Shu were stepping out of the living room, they were called back by Qin Lan. When the two learned that Qin Lan was actually willing to lend them troops, they exchanged a look of sheer disbelief.

The livestream screen cut to the soundproof room; the players from both teams had indeed already taken their seats, all dressed in neat and uniform team jerseys.

Except for Cao Zhang and Xu Chu, who were genuine fierce generals and fought fiercely to a standstill with Zhang Hai and Ma Chao respectively, the rest of them saw their comrades fleeing one after another and lost the will to fight. Catching a fleeting opportunity with a feint, they too withdrew from the battlefield.

Lin Xi smoothed down the front of the Dowager's robe, gradually sensing the old woman's body relax before she let out a sigh of relief.

I nodded, for the facts had already proven that Bai Kai's words were correct. Upon deeper reflection, a trace of trepidation inevitably arose. That unclean entity probably attended every ghost gathering, and its sole purpose in coming was to find me. Who on earth could it be?

"You've rummaged through the entire house, yet you still refuse to leave. My sister doesn't welcome you, so don't ever come back again." Sister Zhang blocked her path.

Hearing those words, Xiao Yun'er's expression froze. Naturally, she knew what it meant for a soul and a body to be mismatched, because she was not truly Xiao Yun'er at all; to put it bluntly, she was merely a wandering wraith from another dimension.

"Yuan Shao and Lü Bu now wield immense power. Across the realm, there are no longer any warlords capable of contending with them. If the various lords continue to fight each other independently at a time like this, the empire will sooner or later fall into the hands of those two."
