Chapter 38: Ten Buns at a Time

Lin Lu paused for just a moment, then ran even faster. Xu Yanchen pulled Yin Shanshan aside and strode after her, paying no heed to the heartbroken girl sobbing behind him.

Lin Lu slowed down after only a few steps; her injury hadn't healed, and her foot ached.

In the end, she was caught in the garden.

"With your limp, you still try to run?" Xu Yanchen gripped her shoulder in exasperation.

...

Seeing that no one cared about her anyway, Qiao Nuonuo poured herself a drink, substituting tea for wine; she was still nursing and couldn't have alcohol.

Since the law here couldn't avenge her mother, she would use methods from the other side to make the old hag confess.

In Luo Fu's eyes, Sima Chao's absence was actually a blessing—she ate well, slept soundly, didn’t have to endure his cold remarks or his foul temper. Now that he was here, he was surely looking for trouble, and her good mood vanished instantly.

Because so much had happened, there had been no chance to return that suit; the main reason was that she had no way to contact the owner.

Mu Sheng lifted the lizard-monster into the compartment, needing to recover his strength as well. The mysterious figure from earlier had been ruthless indeed; a cultivator at the Four Aspects Unity Stage rarely showed such disregard for death—what kind of grudge, what kind of hatred was this?

Only a few deities remained calm amid the absurd surge and collapse of believers; almost all the others had lost control.

After Feng Xingtong left, Feng Shayan felt her father's gaze fall upon her, making her body stiffen slightly.

A few armed fighters had really appeared—blood-source warriors, shadow warriors, and several professions Chen Ming had never seen before.

"I already have a marriage certificate with someone else. I can't marry Xu Moyan," Su Mo said calmly.

The imperial physician had worked through the night; though the Empress Dowager slowly regained consciousness, her mind was gone. Apart from her eyes, which could move slightly, not a single part of her body could respond.

Upon seeing the two guards at the door, Nameless allowed himself a small smile. After months in seclusion, he had finally succeeded—he had broken through to the perfected Saint Realm, achieving mastery at this level of cultivation.

"What’s there to see in this pitch-black darkness?" Class monitor Zhang Biao opened his eyes for a glance, then closed them again to nap.

At that moment, Shizi was furious—he raised his hand, sword pointed skyward. With a flawless strike, a black line hit the red-backed lizard; the creature fell backwards, mouth agape and smoking, landing heavily on the ground.

As for the others, they could only glance at each other, wary and unwilling to follow. Without the aid of semi-saint laws, entering would mean freezing to death. Even Nameless, who entered the pool, could only withstand the cold thanks to his domineering golden body, wrapping himself in golden divinity to resist the icy waters.

Sun Weiqi shouted, sinking his stance, using his upper body to force Bifang aside. His left hand slapped the ball, his body arched as he pressed hard against Bifang.

For the Special Operations Unit, since higher-level equipment wouldn't be introduced on a large scale, they had to focus on tapping their own potential, improving combat power through internal adjustments and reforms. Their mission: to handle internal emergencies and maintain the stable economic and social order needed for reform and opening-up.

Nameless’ eyes flashed with sharp light—he hadn’t expected to encounter an expert from the Demon Worship Sect here.

The sea beasts coming from the east and north had converged, their numbers swelling to nearly four hundred, forming a dense, dark mass.

The same martial art wielded by different hands produced vastly different effects; the Grand Celestial Net, in Zhu Tianzong's grasp, was executed with uncanny mastery.

As the spring rain deepened in drowsiness, she glanced at Xu Liang’s resolute expression. Then, raising her remaining arm, she stretched it across his waist and spoke.
