Chapter 55 Demolishing the Attic

Shen Ting patted her second son's back, her eyes closed as a pain like a knife twisting in her heart tore through her.

She never imagined that the son she was most proud of, the one who excelled in every aspect, would end up just like her former self—a hopeless romantic to the core.

He was driving himself to the brink of death and despair all for a woman.

At the doorway.

Song Shijing stood dazedly at the entrance, listening to the words just uttered by her second younger brother, her heart completely stripped of peace.

It hurt so much, hurting to the point of—

Upon entering, her gaze anxiously swept around the room. Suddenly, she spotted a slender figure in casual clothes, lounging rather slouchily against the sofa.

Fang Xingchen no longer cared about how much disdain he held for Fang Tongyi; ever since he had returned, Fang Tongyi was the only living person he had laid eyes on, leaving him with no other source to learn what had happened here.

In the quiet space, the sound of knocking suddenly broke the silence. Fu Xun furrowed his brow in perplexity—who could possibly be looking for him at an hour like this?

Ye Huan was overwhelmingly powerful now; even prodigies of the Sealed Moon could be killed by him in a fraction of a second. Catching them off guard, he could leave them without even a chance to use their Void-Breaking Talismans, dispatching them instantly.

The geniuses of Cloud Firmament City dared not make a single move, forced to wait until Liu Xiao and the others finished their cultivation session just to see if they could scavenge whatever leftovers remained.

Dark clouds blanketed the sky and earth, evoking the oppressive stillness right before a fierce storm batters a tower. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and violent winds howled.

Leading the charge was the hotel's head of security, flanked by four or five subordinates rushing in with electric batons, closely followed by that broad-faced man.

Without turning around or sparing another glance at the flame beast behind him, he stepped forward, bent down, and plucked the crystal-clear, translucent Heavenly Gestation Fruit.

The human race had already fallen into decline, relegated to a lowly status. How could they ever dare to resist a direct descendant of the Hu family?

Tang Youyou never expected the old matriarch to hold such strong objections to her actions, leaving her with no choice but to say nothing more. After all, in the matriarch's eyes, whatever she said would simply be dismissed as an excuse.

Hu Ke suddenly released Xiao Yang's hand, a flush spreading across her cheeks as she appeared somewhat shy, though she masked it exceptionally well.

Qiaoqiao stood quietly atop a towering tree, her cold gaze overlooking everything unfolding in the valley below like a lurking leopard biding its time for prey to emerge.

Eastern cultivators—if they couldn't even defeat mutants stripped of their mechs, it could only mean that cultivation was utterly useless.

"My skills are inferior, I concede!" Though discontent lingered in his heart, Rat acknowledged that he simply could not match Xiao Yang's speed, making his defeat a fair and willing one.

Description: Cultivating this divine ability allows for the instantaneous fusion of a battle pet's power, granting a combined might. The stronger the battle pet, the greater the power acquired.

At this very moment, utter chaos threatened to consume the land. What he needed to do was turn the tide, return to the Greater China Empire as soon as possible to fetch reinforcements, rather than wasting time trying to decipher a murder case.

"Because it is so rare for me to see you, and so rare that I can speak to you with such uninhibited abandon without any concerns. In the future... I will never say such things again," Xu Xiaoqing said quietly.

The entire suite was left in utter disarray, for every single corner bore the lingering traces left behind by Lin Xiangnan and Yun Jinghan.

This pointed to two possibilities: either that bodyguard was in cahoots with the Mexicans or working in their service, or the bodyguard himself had a need for the seeds.

Once the spider was forcefully dragged out, it frantically tried to claw its way back into Chen Yuan's body, terrifying Chen Yuan into instinctively scrambling backward. But two seconds later, the black spider suddenly exploded, splashing repulsive fluids all over Jiang Ying's body.

The entire ballroom was now brilliantly alive, a sea of joyous young people dancing to their hearts' content.

"Never mind what his ultimate objective is for now; first, let's figure out how to minimize the losses," more people chimed in with this sentiment.

Why wouldn't Marquis Qin suspect something was amiss when Jiang Yindan, who should have been at the Prince of Huainan's residence, suddenly switched places?

Even now, with Qiu Yelan already married off, he could hardly fathom how this younger sister of his had managed to survive back then. Perhaps the ancestors of the Qiu family truly possessed spirits in heaven, or was it simply the mercy of the heavens?
