Volume 1, Chapter 39: Things Remain, People Change

His mouth twitched, and Chu Zhihan, wrapping his arm around Helian Chunqiao’s shoulder, said softly, "Don’t worry. She is a doctor herself, and I didn't see anything wrong with her just now. Just remember not to speak out of turn." As he spoke, a flash of helplessness crossed his eyes; if only she could care for him like that.

"Why does your armor have the aura of Di Tian?" Qiongqi finally asked the point.

After circulating his energy for three hours, Zhang Bairen withdrew his golden needles. Looking at Grandmaster Gongsun, who remained motionless, he slowly picked up her clothes and clumsily helped her dress.

Although the cabinet was locked, it was only a standard lock, which posed no challenge to Ye Mu, an expert at picking locks. Ye Mu took out the bronze dragon head from the cabinet. Seeing the tracking powder and his own marks on it, he confirmed that this was indeed the one he had brought.

"Rip!" The robe he was wearing finally gave way under the assault of the two colliding air currents and shredded. Fortunately, he had been cautious and purchased a high-quality pair of boxer shorts before arriving in the Eastern Sanctuary, saving him from causing a scene.

"Are you envious of my marksmanship? Let me tell you, as long as you put your heart into your practice and learn to find the right feel when you shoot, I believe you will all have marksmanship like this in the future."

"I... actually, I'll be fine even if I don't eat it. Look at me, aren't I perfectly healthy?" Yun Yan forced a smile and took a few steps forward, looking at Mu Jingnan with an air of ease. However, her hand gripping the brocade box tightened involuntarily; she knew he was not someone who could be easily fooled.

The so-called "first-mover advantage" referred to the sequence of launching new games inspired by the game *Wasteland*. After all, *Wasteland* was so successful that planning new games based on its elements and gameplay would allow the first one to be released to attract more players than those that followed. And more players meant more profit.

Ever since the Japanese army tightened control over supplies, the guerrillas had been without salt for some time. Without salt, even if they could find game in the mountains, it always tasted bland. Moreover, a long-term lack of salt left people feeling weak and listless.

Even if the Great Qin Imperial Court were to emerge victorious in the end, it would have no energy to spare for the Great Wilderness Royal Court, which could at the very least hold onto its own realm.

Zhuo Yang received a 10, a habitual perfect score—there is "Zhuo-worship" everywhere in the world. Besides, with two goals, three disallowed, and leading by example in adversity, a perfect score was mandatory.

"Report, Commander! Ahead is the Japanese regiment’s command post. Their main combat units are far away, so we can definitely wipe out their base!" Liu Laoda took a few deep breaths and reported solemnly to the commander.

Xue Jue opened his mouth, his speech somewhat slurred, his voice slightly hoarse. Having not spoken for a long time, his pronunciation had become rusty.

He could feel that the mana within his body seemed to be permeated with the aura of that internal space.

The Human Path of Pain, among the six Pains, was responsible for intelligence gathering and close-quarters combat, capable of capturing an enemy's memories and soul.

Huang Feng glanced at Liu Yan, who nodded firmly at him as if they shared a telepathic connection. Huang Feng gave her a very happy smile, and she smiled back—relaxed and natural. Everything was understood without words.

Solemnly accepting the night-traveling garb, Xianglin did not ask any questions, but hurried back to her room to change into her new attire.

Guan Zhi instantly saw the extraordinary nature of the Water Cold Sword. Although this strike had been a probing attack, it had been blocked with such ease. Her expression turned cold; it seemed she would have to take this seriously.

In the end, by the afternoon of the third day, Deacon Sun still hadn't returned, and the buns he had packed were finished. He wasn't familiar with the other disciples, who were all busy with their assigned tasks. Zhang Meng felt embarrassed to disturb them, and he still hadn't seen Brother Hai.

Henry’s words made him feel a sense of urgency greater than before. Henry knew that the US President wanted to ease trade relations between China and the US, and as a major American capital tycoon, Intel naturally had access to such information.

The thick black mist on the corpse had long since dissipated. Xue She’s eyes were rolled back, his face twisted, and his body was withered like a husk. Yue Wuxin endured the revulsion and rummaged through the corpse.

Rong'er! After all, in the Qi State and in the eyes of the King of Qi, she maintained a positive image. If someone were to seek revenge on her, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Someone might even launch a secret investigation! If it provoked the King of Qi’s displeasure and he started an inquiry, that would be a huge problem.

At this very moment, Lieyan Jiuxiao felt an urge to roar at the sky. His eyes flashed with joy as he reached out and grasped the Purgatory Furnace. He had never imagined that he would one day possess such power, or even dare to covet the holy throne of heaven and earth.

Pushing open the innermost room, the incense grew remarkably thick; the source of the fragrance was clearly here.

Unfortunately, with the Prophet present, Chen Xing could not test his hypothesis and had to suppress his itching curiosity.

Mo Wuque, possessing the Spirit Slate, did not need to worry about what Karl had said—that the Sunrise King would degrade with repeated use, or that eventually, even with the Red Dragon Emperor’s boosting ability, he would be unable to generate enough heat to alter the shape of the sun crystal.

At this moment, Cang Shangkong finally felt that something was wrong. A dozen giant claws swung continuously, slapping at the massive waves before him, but the waves seemed endless, no matter how many he struck.

A police patrol car rushed into the parking lot like a madman, screeching to a halt outside the police station. The car was riddled with bullet holes, one of the roof lights had been smashed, and only one was left flashing weakly. A bullet hole in the center of the windshield had caused the entire glass to spiderweb with cracks.

In this way, he could pretend the patient had truly recovered, retire with success, and slip away in broad daylight.

This painting only stirred up his own painful heart and memories. It witnessed the scene of their past love, while simultaneously revealing to him what deception and heartbreaking agony were. Seeing him lost in a trance while staring at the painting, he must have been thinking of the past—but what was past was past.

Luo Jun’s mind wasn't actually on playing anything; he said distractedly, "As long as we don't go to the poetry gathering, anything is fine." In his heart, however, he was wondering: where on earth did Yue Guangchen go? Who should he find to ask? Or how should he investigate this matter?
