Chapter 47: Escape

She had never met her grandmother and did not even know what her grandmother looked like. Later, she believed it and never asked again, for there was indeed talk about traits skipping generations. Yet, she never imagined that she was truly not their child.

She pleaded with Gu Xichen, “Young Master Gu, I beg you, let them go. Consider it my repayment for all these years of their care and upbringing. I’ll leave with you, and you may do with me as you wish.” She had repaid the debt of being raised by Ruan Jianhua and Zhao Lijuan; from now on, she would no longer be part of their family.

After Jiang Tan’s spectacular display these past few days, the live broadcast room was bustling with activity, with gifts pouring in one after another.

Old Gao desperately tried to pull his hand back, but Ye Han Yi’s grip was like an iron clamp, holding him fast. There was no way to break free.

“What is a cultivator? I can’t explain it all at once, but soon, you’ll be able to distinguish cultivators from ordinary people. For now, we must discuss how to survive this calamity, so that more people in the world may live,” Zhan Yitian continued once the hall had quieted down.

The beer was ice-cold; as he drank, the chill slid down his throat and exploded in his stomach, a refreshing sensation rising upward, pores opening, even the heat on his body dissipated.

He wasn’t sure if he had reached the heart of the dense forest, but he saw a clearing ahead, perfect for dealing with those pursuing him. He stopped in his tracks.

Wang Yourong parted her lips, as if to speak, but chose silence instead. Her phoenix eyes were filled with deep concern and worry for Qin Hao.

She quickly said, “No, I want to see Grandpa!” With that, she threw back the covers and was about to get out of bed.

Lu Wuwei, hearing this, felt he had no reason to persuade her further. After a long sigh, he fell into a prolonged silence.

Once everything was installed, Jiang Tan had someone prepare a simple meal, then closed the door, instructing others not to disturb her.

By this time, all the prisoners in the cell were deep in sleep, no one noticed someone had entered. Yet the farther the man walked, the more puzzled he became.

Suddenly, the bloodline surged, rushing straight toward a point of phosphorescence. Yan Yuncheng followed closely, watching as the tiny glow grew larger before his eyes, until finally it revealed a round hole, about the height of a person, from which the phosphorescence emanated.

After a long while, Wei Muyuan sighed softly, “Two kilometers ahead is Canglan City...” As he spoke, even he felt his words were tinged with a sense of desolation.

Though she heard the discussions behind her, Lan Ruoting paid them no mind. She had already entered deep into the Palace of Wandering Void, heading straight for the location of the Wandering Void Dragon Gourd.

“Oh, master! Have you forgotten? I asked you to help me get a Creation Immortal Vine. I wonder how that turned out?” Yu Guang finished speaking and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Yan Yuncheng didn’t know how long he had been unconscious, but he was certain that on the night of the Festival of Heaven, Gao Lingping had saved him. Although mostly because of Chu Feng, Yan Yuncheng had always been someone who clearly distinguished gratitude from resentment.

“Let’s go!” The Wild Bull called out to the two of them, then headed into the office building.

Inside the grand hall, three walls divided it into four rooms: the Origin Rank, Spirit Rank, Profound Rank, and King Rank examination rooms. After greeting Night Sun and Yu Liang, he entered the King Rank room.

“Good! Good!” Jia Qian’s excited voice trembled, for this scene reminded him of the days he and his brothers had sworn allegiance to one another.

Chen Ran shook his head helplessly. “Sister Qing and Lu Shanmin’s backers are so confident Lu Shanmin can beat Chang Zan? You and I know well, Chang Zan is no Wang Dahuo; the waters run deep.”

He purchased two items from the system store: the Villain’s Height-Boosting Shoes and the Villain’s One-Time Hair Dye. Because both items bore the word ‘villain,’ their effects were greatly enhanced. Yet Jiang Xie had squandered a hundred protagonist points for them.
