Volume 1, Chapter 27: Clouds Ablaze in the Setting Sun

“Doctor Li, what happened?” Xu Fengli was startled by Doctor Li’s appearance.

“What do you mean, what happened? Something’s happened—something serious! Come on, come on, stop talking and follow me to find the brigade commander at once. Just look at you… What kind of mess have you gotten yourself into?”

Xu Fengli was completely bewildered.

“Not quite. Although Wang Sanniu is only one step away from the Upper Pure Realm, he hasn’t truly entered it yet. Molly, however, has successfully broken through. She now possesses the strength of the Upper Pure Realm as well,” Chu Qingqiu said.

As he spoke thoughtfully, Feiyu secretly studied Moriha Kotoko with both eyes, taking precautions against her in secret.

“If that’s the case, then… I’ll have to trouble you, Makinami.” Katsuragi Misato glanced at Makinami with some concern.

Hao Qiang, on the other hand, looked utterly unconcerned, drifting leisurely through the city like an unemployed idler.

Seeing that Souji already seemed somewhat dazed, Bai Ye could not help shaking his head. As expected, it was rather difficult for an ancient man to understand something like this.

“Underwater, they’re temporarily invincible!” One Leaf Blinds the Eye retreated awkwardly to the shore and reached that conclusion. But in the next instant, he saw the countless lightning mages summoned to the riverbank by Lu Chen. Protected by shield warriors, they unleashed their skills upon the river all at once.

Everyone was exhilarated, as though they had finally glimpsed hope. The Chosen Ones were even more unable to contain themselves, eagerly gathering behind the high platform.

All I knew was that my surname was Feng, and no one had ever given me a name. So, to commemorate the freedom I had finally obtained, I named myself Feng Juechen.

What was remarkable was that there were only six people present on the battlefield. Setting aside which side they belonged to, four of them could use Lightning Release, while the fifth did not even possess a human body.

Just as Xuanyuan was racking his brains over his confusion, a magnetic male voice rang out. Following the sound, he saw a golden flying magical beast with three legs. It resembled both a phoenix and a vermilion bird, making its species impossible to identify.

No, no, no. What I should really be wondering is—why was Jiang Linfeng blushing when he looked at Shen Zhiqiu? Was it simply because Zhiqiu held a lofty position and yet was willing to humble herself, personally helping him up and even dusting off his robe?

Sending the miners back to work in the mines seemed rather wasteful, so Lin Tao had Zheng Cheng gather them all together. He intended to give them a little training and turn them into temporary workers at the mecha manufacturing plant.

“You don’t dare? What is there that you wouldn’t dare to do?!” Shen Zhiqiu raised her foot, intending to kick her away, but a conflicted reluctance appeared in her eyes. She turned toward Shen Shiyan as if seeking help.

Xue Ren’s condition was plain to see. He did not want to give Qinglang any hope. People were often like that: once they had hope, they could suffer disappointment. But if they had never possessed hope from the beginning, then perhaps they would not be driven to despair when faced with the outcome.

According to Tian Qiaoping, if they had not discovered him in time, he would probably already have frozen to death in the greenbelt.

“How did you know I was here?” Chen Youyi suspiciously sized up He Miaomiao. She had long since guessed that He Miaomiao had used visiting the Qin family as an excuse, when in truth she wanted to get close to Qin Ziheng and strike up a conversation with him. Naturally, she did not believe that He Miaomiao had come specifically to check on her.

Even within our own company, there may be infiltrators. Therefore, I have decided to establish a political screening department within the company. The first step will be to conduct a political review of every employee.

Chen Yan clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged across his forehead. He was clearly furious to the extreme, but in the end, he still followed Lu Fei’s advice and did not strike again.

The sweetness made both of them narrow their eyes. They leaned contentedly against Mo Guinian, one on each side, looking utterly adorable.
