Chapter 34: Going to Pick Up the Car Together

After the fireworks display, Qin Zhengyu added Lin Qiongqiong to the group chat and then pulled her along to cut the cake.

A servant pushed over a seven-tiered cake that stood taller than a person. Each tier was exquisitely decorated, and the top featured a chibi-style figurine of Emperor Qin Zhengyu, accompanied by the playing of a birthday song.

Everyone at the banquet gathered around to sing along.

Afterward, Qin Zhengyu cut the cake and handed the first slice to Lin Qiongqiong.

"Here, for my eldest legitimate daughter."

"Cough, cough..." With a violent spray of blood, the young man's face turned grim and ferocious in an instant, radiating murderous intent.

Suddenly, Xu Yuanxing noticed Xuanyuan Yao close her eyes as if sensing something, only to open them a moment later and take two steps forward.

In the blink of an eye, over ten minutes had passed. The sound of footsteps broke the silence, startling the two of them.

On the field, the stacked flaming orb in Long Ling's palm had fully formed. It traced a beautiful arc through the air, accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle as it struck toward Zhao Meng with lightning speed.

Beneath the red veil, Yan Ming blushed and remained silent, but her rapid breathing clearly betrayed her attempt to feign composure.

Upon hearing the scream, Ji Kai was struck with alarm. He quickly picked up Sophia and helped her dress; as for the bloodstains and other traces, those would have to wait until the situation was resolved.

The next instant, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the forest, only to be met with a barrage of magic—everything except space, light, and dark elements.

A muffled thud echoed across the construction site, followed by a faint glow. As the airflow expanded, a wave of heat soared into the sky, spectacular and grand, as a massive mushroom cloud rolled upward, obscuring everything in the heavens.

The mist was deathly pale and surrounded by an eerie gloom, as if it had completely cut off the world. Those swallowed by the fog seemed unable to hear a single sound.

"Stop! By what right do you presume to take the law into your own hands?" Luo Hebin lunged forward in a flash, snatching the electric baton from Yang Yueru's hand.

The human body also has internal air pressure to balance atmospheric pressure. Once the external pressure vanishes, the internal pressure will tear the body to pieces—a fact known to anyone with even a modicum of common sense.

Ye Suiyun had been full of anger and worry, but seeing the look of genuine remorse on the face of the boy, who was about his own age, his resentment largely dissipated. Moreover, the pain from his dislocated shoulder had become unbearable, so he said nothing more.

Their chance encounter left neither Li Qifeng nor Gongsun Bufan feeling the slightest bit of awkwardness.

In the realm of Taoist talismans, the sound-transmission talisman is not considered particularly advanced. In today's society with its highly developed communication technology, its utility is essentially negligible; with mobile phones and telephones, what use is a sound-transmission talisman?

"Wow! You are truly my idol; you're amazing!" Sheng Meijuan gazed at Jiang Fan, her eyes filled with delight.

Ghost immortals do not enter the cycle of reincarnation and cannot return to the Penglai Isles. Thus, some choose to live in seclusion deep within mountain forests, while others hide in ancient tombs.

Following the "Grandfather" cry from the scruffy-haired man, the previously silent corridor was suddenly filled with a series of voices echoing with grievances and indignation.

He had actually led his troops to crush the Xiongnu, and not just any force, but two of their main divisions of ten thousand cavalry. Chen Wanyun's first reaction was that the news had to be false.

This famous immortal mountain was a thousand miles away from the hotel where Chen Zhifan was staying. If he were to rely on driving or walking, there was no telling how long it would take.

She had no family here—no, that wasn't quite true. There was still her eccentric and mischievous "cheap" grandfather.

"Please, just set it on the table," Shuangxiu said, gesturing with her hand before removing her veil and setting it aside.

Therefore, the most important thing he needed to do now was to proceed with the preparations in full swing.
