Chapter 50: Wandering in the Shadows
Wei Yunxi was highly alert and promptly sent a discreet message to Wei Zonghao. The two met briefly during the midday meal.
“Yunxi, are you sure someone has their eyes on us?”
“Yes. If it happened only once, it could be dismissed as coincidence, but it’s been three days in a row. There’s definitely something wrong,” Yunxi replied with certainty.
“Do you think they’re after our spiritual fields, or are they targeting us personally?”
Yunxi shook her head.
“No. Colin may be displeased, but not to the point of harming unrelated people. But if they truly belong to the town of Pluke, then Colin will have matters to trouble them with.”
Upon seeing that enormous face, Colin also offered a salute, his mind nearly certain of who it was. Colin bit his lip—such faint traces, was danger approaching, or had there been an injury?
In her memory, the illusory one—Colin—always concealed himself deeply. This time, with Lesjing in peril, judging by the power displayed in the battle against Bayer, it would suffice to dispatch the earth god’s avatar to suppress Magnus.
“Almost done. Be sure to apply while it’s hot, and peel gently. If you ruin the layer on top, it will be much harder to handle,” Old Yue reminded her.
“Have you found the source of those two barrages?” Chu Yu closed the folder after Qian Xing finished eating and stood up.
Suddenly, Colin’s expression shifted. With a flash, she appeared in a courtyard of the Odinian Empire’s palace. As her hands struck downward, the wooden table shuddered, and the ground trembled as well. Changning’s ears twitched, looking at the floor in surprise.
“I appoint you as Chief Jade Holder, with a grant of five thousand bushels,” Xiong Jing declared in haste; lacking a jade seal for the ennoblement, he took a jade ornament from his belt.
Unexpectedly, Cai Yuanjie slapped his thigh and shouted, “Excellent! Old Master Zhu truly is a hero. In that case, we have one last condition.”
Whether it was the first or second time, during their operations to clear zombies at Base Zero, they contributed nothing of substance.
There existed an emperor who, before the gathered beauties, spoke so ruthlessly, sparing not a shred of face for the empress dowager.
“If that’s how it is, continue. But now adjust your mindset—do not succumb to obsession!” the aged voice warned.
Long lashes, like fans, cast shadows over his eyes. When my gaze met his, my pupils contracted.
An ordinary mortal, daring to dream of rescuing someone from their hands—what fantastic folly!
Qinghuan gasped, but Tiancheng did not let go, so he was dragged down as well.
A faint sound, as I lifted the bed curtains, I saw a figure approaching my bedside. Reaching under the pillow, I drew a dagger.
Chen Dongmei watched Ye Danian for a few seconds, then, saying he had returned, went to the backyard to do laundry. She was a bit suspicious—this business trip had lasted several days, and he hadn’t been away so long in years.
The men in the bar were captivated by the dazzling sight at the entrance; some kept drooling, wiping their mouths, swallowing nervously... The trio strode to the bar counter like kings under their gaze.
Why did officials from Kaifeng Prefecture and the Supreme Court seem to have grown wings, able to move instantly?
As for Yang Fan, the sect leader seemed to lack confidence in him, constantly finding ways for him to retreat, suggesting he give up sooner rather than later to avoid embarrassment.
“You really went inside?” The Lord of the Sanctuary and many cultivators at the transforming spirit stage were deeply concerned.
Young people are like this—not like the older generation. Matters of lifelong importance are sometimes mere transactions, or perhaps dictated by parental command and arranged by matchmakers.
