Chapter 36: Yu Xia Can No Longer Keep It Hidden!

The two exchanged several blows in the cramped space, each forced back several steps by the other’s strength.

With a sweep of his saber, Renault stood横 in front of Disen, while his spirit form, a white-crested iguana, guarded Disen’s side as well.

He was an S-rank Sentinel too, no weaker than Nix. In fact, his close-combat skills were faintly superior to Nix’s.

Seeing him protect that scum from the Snake family so fiercely, the Sentinels despised him all the more, even if he was only carrying out a mission.

His behavior at that moment could only be described as provoking...

Lu Yunzheng sensed Wen Qiao’s worry and anxiety, even her guilt and sorrow, and could empathize with her. Yet he did not know how to comfort her. He pulled back slightly and kissed the corner of her eye. “Be good. Don’t think about it anymore. Get a good night’s sleep.”

It was nothing but a bluff. Big Gold Tooth merely turned sideways and dodged the blow. Seeing that his attack had missed, Skinny turned and stabbed again.

Of course, the purpose of making use of him was to help the settlement survive better and to improve humanity’s chances of survival. In a sense, he was a saint—a saint who sacrificed himself for others.

He had probably just finished soaking in the hot spring as well. His bathrobe hung lazily from his body, exposing a broad expanse of his chest. The belt dangled loosely around his waist, and droplets of water slid down his chest and disappeared beneath it.

The emergence of the Skill Enhancement Talent and the increase in his skill level made Wang Shuang once again feel his physical abilities surge dramatically.

“Heh heh, so will you come with me now?” Old Xing understood that Chen Yiyan intended to help.

He was even less worried that Lu Yunzheng would run into trouble on the racetrack—not only because he trusted Lu Yunzheng’s driving skills, but also because his faith in him ran deep.

Then they suddenly roared furiously, yanked the iron chains from their bodies, and tore themselves free from the crosses. Raising the crosses as weapons, they leaped down from the stone wall with astonishing springing power.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, the two of them walked to the end of the stairs. The staircase turned at a right angle, and at its bottom stood a door that was not locked either.

Shi An was too wonderful, like a star in the heavens, shining through her darkest and most helpless moment and pulling her from the abyss. That was why she did not dare profane him.

“This is futile, because the difference between you and me is more than that between the clouds and the mud,” Lord Yin-Yang Junlin mocked.

“Then is the Red Moon Demon Cult in the mortal realm waiting for the gods to descend and deal with it?” Donghuang Shili had no interest whatsoever in the war between the Divine Path and the Netherworld.

Of course, he was not entirely confident. But in his eyes, Neil was nothing more than a dispensable pawn. Especially now, after Wing’s warning had forced him to act according to Wing’s plan, Neil’s existence had instead become a burden. Thus, he had attacked with the mindset that it was better to kill the wrong man than let the right one escape.

The Noble Attendant’s words left Luo Yuling inexplicably melancholy. Although she found this melancholy rather strange, she did not dwell on it. She merely told herself that she had indeed overlooked this pitifully beautiful Noble Attendant, and that the faint apology rising in her heart was all it was.

Lin Zichen spun around and hurried forward to stop him. The other hidden guards rushed in as well. Although Chu Chengchuan was now seriously wounded, dealing with these men was still well within his ability.

While they attended the baby’s birth banquet, the Heavenly Emperor also sent everyone a plea for help. He hoped that all the immortals would lend Yun Yue a hand, bring the Gu King Ming Sheng to justice, rescue Chi Yan from the Gu poison, and give the baby a complete family.

“Father-in-law, you must be mistaken. We are all meant to become the Emperor’s consorts,” someone said anxiously. Though she was flustered, she had not lost her reason. Knowing that one person alone could not prevail, she grabbed another woman and pulled her along.

But if she did not do this, she would die—was this what true battle was? Did people really have to slaughter one another like this? Even if she killed them, the ruined steel shell would not return, would it?

“So, if we add ice cubes, will there be an extra charge?” Helian Heya asked, keeping a wary eye on him.

This was paradise for the wealthy and hell for the poor; paradise for the strong and purgatory for the powerless.
