Chapter Sixty-One: Divorce

"I can hardly enjoy any blessings at all. I fear I won't even live to see Jiang Mochen jump into the river—I'll be forced into divorce before that," Su Wan grumbled angrily, then turned over and fell asleep, never imagining her words would turn out to be prophetic.

The next morning, as Su Wan stepped out of the hotel, she was blocked at the door by a group of men in black.

The man at the front bowed to her. "Miss Su, our master requests your presence."

"I don't have time," Su Wan replied instinctively.

Yet the men in black barred her way, refusing to let her pass.

Lighting a cigarette, Sanji silently moved aside, making room for Zoro and Lan Ye.

The Water Avenue—Lin Che had imagined it would be filled with water, but not a drop was to be found. Instead, the entire passage was plagued with illness, as if it were a corridor carved from ice.

"Walk enough nights, and sooner or later a thief will jump out to cleanse the path. No matter," rasped a voice, cold and haunting, echoing through the silent night and sending chills down the spine.

Dr. Wang's expression was the ugliest of all. This result was a slap in the face, compounding his already wounded pride.

After the old lady spoke, she fell silent. Seeing her hesitation, Tianyin grew increasingly uneasy—could it be that the wretched woman from last night would truly be taken in as a concubine?

Usopp had tricked it countless times with all sorts of bizarre illnesses. Even the most naive would have learned to be wary by now.

Of course, there were some exceptionally strong teams in the losers' bracket as well. Some unfortunate powerhouses had encountered even tougher opponents and been knocked down, only to cross paths with the Battle King.

Granny Kokoro cast a curious glance at the petrified Chopper and Sanji, but paid them little mind. She turned to Luffy, asking if he understood the rules.

"I don't know what you're talking about, nor do I understand those laws you mention. But tonight, if you wish to leave, I can tell you: it's impossible!" the leader of the armed police said through gritted teeth.

After finishing his summary, Lan Ye finally looked at the languid Zoro before him and smiled, saying, "Sorry for the trouble."

According to the mission publisher, these demon beasts had been bred by their faction. Due to certain reasons, they escaped their enclosure and scattered across the surrounding dozens of miles. Gathering them was a troublesome task, so they needed students like her to help bring them back.

When Jiang Mi and I arrived, the Yin family was holding Lin Wanwan's hand affectionately, whispering something. Lin Wanwan's cheeks were still flushed, and she kept her head down, clearly ill at ease.

Unfortunately, my 'Dragon Devouring Sutra' was only at the introductory stage—not even the first level. Otherwise, killing the enemy and swallowing the trace of dragon soul within him would have greatly enhanced my strength.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would the opponent refuse to give it to us even at the risk of their life? They've exhausted all their immortal force, and now it's a contest of endurance. I don't believe I'll lose to anyone in that regard. Late-stage Immortal Lord—I can do it!" The eldest brother gritted his teeth, summoned his remaining strength, and charged ahead.

As the music began, many in the audience realized that ARID had chosen to perform with open microphones, meaning the accompaniment contained no vocals at all.

Happiness that others took for granted was an ordinary thing, but he had lost that privilege from the very start.

In this room, aside from Hua Yun, there was one other who could escape—Lan Ruizhe.

"This..." Life Is Like Tea immediately pulled out a stack of documents from his backpack and handed them over.

"Ah, don't ask. We're just here to serve, aren't we? I've told him ages ago there needed to be a meeting, but he's still not back. Now I have to fetch him myself."

The Tiger King tried to make sense of its surroundings, but its vision grew ever dimmer. Each struggle proved futile. In its eyes, Ye Xin and You Yitian gradually faded into a blur.
