Chapter 24

"Commander Luo, follow me. I will take you to that underground secret chamber now. Come with me!" Deng Hui said, heading straight out the door while carrying a shovel. Ye Yong and his two companions were puzzled; could the secret chamber actually be outside?

No one answered. Seeing this, Dun Dun stomped his feet violently, let out a loud roar, and unleashed the yellow true energy from within his body. It rapidly transformed into a stone hand, which lunged toward the surrounding area.

Yu Xi lifted her cold eyes, her beautiful face displaying nothing but composure and dominance. Only after they had finished more than half of the refreshments did she speak comfortably to Li Shengjue.

Most mercenaries who arrived here did not enter the city. On one hand, lodging fees were too expensive; on the other, the city was too crowded and difficult to access. Furthermore, if they needed to trade, merchants would deal with them directly outside, saving the trouble of entering the city and the cost of accommodation.

Even Wang Zijin, who currently detested the "Second Fool," screamed and told him to get up. Although Liu Hong and the others were also extremely annoyed by the Second Fool—and they were technically rivals—they were only students playing around. No one expected things to turn real, and they were instantly stunned with fear.

When she said this, Yu Xi’s tone was sincere and earnest. She truly wanted to repay Leng Yu; if she could do nothing else, providing him with meticulous and thoughtful care should not be a problem.

"Father-in-law, I must take my leave now. If we can find my lost weapon soon, our chances will increase by a fraction," Yang Chen said respectfully.

The number of "Flame-Armored Beasts" steadily dwindled as the human soul masters continuously unleashed soul skills, shattering the beasts' solid scales and slaying them.

Anger flared in Li Shengjue’s eyes; he had not expected Ling Yu Xi to be this terrifying.

Ji Meina was speechless. How was he a beast? Wasn't it just sleeping on the same bed?

"Forget it. By the time the ambulance arrives, I might already be dead from blood loss," Ji Meina rolled his eyes.

"You are courting death!" he roared, his body trembling violently. The aura of his life spirit suddenly surged, filling his clenched fist in an instant.

He must have forgotten that on some day, in some month, of some year, he did something that angered me. If I don't settle this score now, when will I?

"Haha, back in the day, Cao Cao and Liu Bei discussed heroes over wine; let us emulate them. Brother, you speak first!" Wu Song said, feeling quite happy.

"I know." However, the busty girl clearly did not intend to grant Ji Meina’s wish. His words didn't catch her attention at all; she continued to carry her "balls."

"That is correct! In order to control the floods, I did seek a piece of the Divine Iron of the Heavenly River from the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord!" Dayu nodded.

Later, Qiu Kai hoped to remain his parents' only child, so when he took action, she erased every trace. No one could ever discover that Qiu Kai was the culprit behind his stepmother's miscarriage.

Ron lunged forward in a rage, but the Death Eater nimbly dodged and kicked Ron hard. Ron cried out in pain, curling up and clutching his stomach.

It was nearly dawn by the time Li Zhishi and Mu Qin left the police station. After taking a taxi back to the hotel, they returned to their respective rooms to rest. During the trip, Li Zhishi had racked his brain to amuse Mu Qin, and she finally emerged from the shadows of the night and revealed a smile.

Gu Qian looked at him as if he were a lunatic, only to realize that Gu Liangsen was looking at Lin Anwen, who was busy in the distance, with gentle eyes.

As soon as he entered the café, he saw Bai Zhi and Lin Yang sitting opposite each other. Bai Zhi was wearing sunglasses; she waved at him as soon as she saw him, just as she always did.

Emerging from Huang’s Grain and Oil Shop again, Xiao Shaoping let out a long sigh and smiled inexplicably at Tian Ying beside him.

A flash of surprise crossed Huo Qishan's eyes as he saw Yuan Xiao lift her left arm, bend her right index finger to her lips, and blow gently.

"So, he is still a newcomer? He has never appeared in a television series?" The director frowned, his face showing signs of regret.

Nalan Tongying sneered, "Speaking of legends, how could I compare to a 'burden' who fought her way up, utilized schemes, and dominated the imperial palace for twenty years?" Her tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Gu Yunjin rubbed her teacup, thinking that given Shou'an's temperament, she likely wouldn't feel slighted, but rather would be extremely happy to share things with her.

The neighbors to the left and right of Qingliu Alley and North Third Alley were neither blind nor deaf. People have mouths, and those watching the show only care for excitement; they would stir up trouble however they saw fit.

Yan Xiangran felt helpless about Yan Xiangyang's typical distracted attitude but said nothing. She picked up the remote to flip through channels out of boredom, feeling frustrated by the endless variety shows on TV. Occasionally, she would come across a currently popular show and start watching it leisurely.

She had intended to continue arguing with Sang Ning, but seeing the increasingly impatient look on Sang Ning's face—like a wild beast on the verge of exploding—she stopped.

"I once absorbed the ability of a ghost. As long as this ability is activated, a hundred-mile radius around me is printed in my mind like a 3D map. Since I have always stayed at the Mansion University, I considered this ability useless and never used it," Li Yujie described one of his investigative abilities.

The fire talisman dissolved against her chest, turning into a glowing red liquid that seeped into her body along her meridians.

When the news reached Shaoqiu's ears, he felt terribly sad. He had only hit Fatty Wang lightly; how could he have died?

Ji Tong pursed her lips, her thoughts racing back to distant memories. She still remembered standing beside her parents with red, puffy eyes, looking pitiful and deeply aggrieved—the image of a defiled victim.

"Perhaps they are also going to offer birthday wishes!" Jiang Hu wanted to lift his hand to scratch his nose but forced himself to drop his half-raised arm.

He now held no favor for ghosts. Even if he encountered one as law-abiding as Xu Shurong from Linhai City, Chen Yi would now show no mercy and strike to kill.
