Chapter 36: Utterly Ill-Fated

Lin Wanqiu had clearly not yet regained her composure; she muttered to herself while trying to sort through her thoughts.

Liu Shibaba let out a heavy sigh of relief—thankfully, everything was fine. He harbored a deep dread for the mysterious figure the Storm Intelligence Brain had mentioned earlier.

"Good! Order all units to remain concealed and stay prepared for an assault at any moment," Qin Feng commanded with a grave expression.

He had never expected that thing to follow Ye Shenyi and Yuli from the borders of the Underworld into this world.

"Thank you, Commander. Please rest assured, we will fight valiantly against the enemy and will not let your high expectations go to waste," Hou Ziping said, his face filled with excitement.

"Baka yaro! Where did these damned Eighth Route Army soldiers even come from?" Colonel Shirakawa cursed in a rage.

Mo Xi rubbed her lips fiercely with the back of her hand. She scrubbed so hard for several minutes that the back of her hand turned red.

"Ugh, why can’t I get this right?" Mo Xi checked the time and finally decided to seek outside help.

"However, it is rumored that they are carrying a shipment of supplies, though it is unclear what exactly they are," the adjutant added hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person. Besides, aren't you here with me? Do you really think I would lead you to your death?" Chen Meng laughed.

Upon hearing Chen Zhitao's words, Qin Hu’s expression shifted. He stared at Chen Zhitao and demanded, "Qin Liu? What else do you know?" Qin Hu grabbed Chen Zhitao by the collar, his face dark and menacing, as if he were about to beat him.

It was the first time he had witnessed such acupuncture, especially since it vaguely resembled the legendary "immortal needlework" mentioned by other senior divine physicians, said to be able to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.

The person on the ground continued to nod. Can money really compare to life? If you are dead, what use is money?

Lu Ling knew she played the game *JX3*, but because Jiang Tang Bu La usually had the setting to hide guild names disabled, Lu Ling had never noticed that Jiang Tang Bu La was on the same server as her, nor did she know that Mu Qiushang was Jiang Tang Bu La's mentor.

"Not enough?" Hu Yuanyuan was stunned. Looking at Xu Yuanhui's group—if there weren't two hundred, there were at least over a hundred—it did seem like too many people. While they could accommodate them, it would inevitably lead to all sorts of trouble.

As one of the heads of the Tiansu Group in the China region, she was quite familiar with the country and knew a great deal about master practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine like Hu Rui, who held significant prestige in Mizhou City and even the Dongshan Province area.

"But... you are so popular right now. So many big brands want you to be their spokesperson and provide sponsorships; why don't you choose any of them?" Ling Tanxue still found such a suggestion incredible.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask you how you ended up like this." She smiled like a phantom, looking extremely eerie.

After taking several deep breaths, Shen Yan finally managed to calm his emotions.

Meanwhile, when Shen Zhuolie had the driver pull the car to a certain intersection, a black sedan arrived to meet them.

Meng Tuo felt a bit shy and walked silently to the back without saying a word. Ye Qingfeng stopped worrying about it; they walked all the way to the North Gate, where Chong Gui was already waiting.

Perhaps it wasn't "terribly bad," but in Ruan Shu's view, he hadn't gained much of an advantage either; he had lost his previous edge of operating from behind the scenes.

Xia Xin had thought that he had been possessed by some divine skill and that engaging in Yin-Yang dual cultivation would be of great benefit to him, but clearly, he had overthought it.

Her lips were red without lipstick, her brows dark without paint; her face was like a silver basin, her eyes like water-filled apricots. She was truly perfect in every way, though the resemblance was only in appearance—in temperament, Ye Qingzhu was much more innocent.

Mu Yunxuan had been watched over by the Empress Dowager as he grew up, even though the Empress Dowager's memory was poor now, and she would occasionally mistake him for someone else.

In the imperial court today, most officials were new replacements; the true pillars of the state had long since been taken away by the Grand Tutor.

Upon receiving the order, the old eunuchs swarmed forward, and Shen Yan was dragged directly to the center of the prison cell.

Otherwise, why would he have been so submissive to Ye Qingfeng for so long? Being able to trade for a chance at survival was Fu Yao's original wish, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?

There were many things Mother didn't want to say, and she didn't want you to worry along with her. I only hope you know that Mother works very hard out there, leaving early and returning late every day until calluses have grown on my hands. It is truly exhausting, and I hope you can understand.

Therefore, it was already quite good for a single class to produce five or six students who studied hard and had families capable of supporting them through high school or even college. It was understandable that teachers wanted to focus on educating these few students well.

Looking at He Qingcheng’s expression and reactions while handling matters, she was one hundred percent a newcomer.

In fact, Shen Wuyou was not worried, because he had already instructed Ji Yue to keep an eye on things. With a green-eyed zombie like that present, Shen Wuyou felt quite at ease.

Then, Chang Le stepped his left foot behind his right, continued to rotate his upper body to the left, and swung his blade in a circle above his head with both hands. Immediately, he slashed toward the front left, putting force into the front edge of the blade, with the blade facing left and the tip pointing diagonally upward.

Just as Su Jin’s frustration reached its peak and she was about to walk away, Chu Lin's phone suddenly rang.
