Volume 1, Chapter 39: Goods Seized, Another Group of Awakened Ones

Her mind, which had been blank just moments ago, remained empty; yet, at the sound of Shi Ye's words, it gave a sharp, agonizing twitch. Unbearable memories flickered across her mind like a projection, each scene accompanied by the echoes of her own weeping and screams.

Ye Miao suspected that if this had happened in the world before she transmigrated, the doctor would likely have remarked, "This wound is quite serious—if you had arrived any later, it would have already healed."

From this, Zhang Jialiang could essentially confirm that there was collusion between officials and businessmen. Thinking of his upcoming situation in Daming, he felt a heavy weight settle in his heart.

Ye Miao felt overwhelmed, her head spinning as she hurriedly explained to Grandma Ye, "Grandma, I cut it myself; I had lice in my hair." Her voice trailed off; having to admit to such an embarrassing thing made her feel deeply mortified.

The younger brother, Lloyd, had masqueraded as Yhwach. Although he killed Kenpachi Zaraki in a single strike, he was subsequently slain by the Captain-Commander, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who arrived shortly thereafter.

Duan Weiqi pressed some sort of switch, and the coverings on all four walls retracted. The afternoon sunlight poured in through the glass walls, adorning the space like a golden palace.

As he moved and brandished his blade, the sword energy seemed to take on a life of its own, whistling through the air as it circled him. When the clusters of red plum blossoms were brushed by the energy, they instantly detached from their branches and drifted into mid-air.

"We are going to save her," Saxon said with conviction. "What is the next step?" No explanation was needed; he had already naturally accepted Su Yi as their current leader.

Before long, the light dissipated, revealing the figure hidden within. Looking closely, one could see it was a humanoid weapon over two meters tall, possessing the antlers and hooves of a deer, the long mane of a lion, and the tail of a white snake.

"Don't mention it. I am a doctor; healing the sick and saving lives is my duty." Jiang Xue smiled, stepped forward to examine Liu Bo, and took his pulse once more. Only when she was certain he had fully recovered did she finally set her mind at ease.

She had never had the habit of morning jogging before and was always the last to arrive for breakfast, so even Yan Yan found it surprising that she had actually gone for a run today.

In truth, she didn't care about whether she won an award or not. She was primarily worried that if she didn't follow the rules, she would be targeted or criticized by everyone else.

Because Chen Yun was roaring incessantly, his mouth remained agape, and those spheres of spiritual energy surged into his throat in one continuous stream.

When Chu Xinian pushed open the office door, she expected Long Sijue to be there, only to discover the office was completely empty.

The Black and White Grid was divided into four sections—East, South, West, and North. There were many members she had never met; if they were acquaintances, it would be fine, but if they were strangers, coordinating with them would be troublesome.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but she was somewhat nervous—nervous because she feared seeing two corpses that were identical to her and Mo Yishen. The mere thought of that feeling was unsettling.

Chen Yun was also stunned; for a moment, he stood like a fool, utterly overwhelmed by the sight before him.

"You are one of the murderers. By aiding the tyrant in his evildoing, even if I don't kill you, you won't escape," Yun Qinian said coldly.

Suddenly being called out, Su Qianxun immediately looked up at her younger brother. She sighed; there were some things that had to be said sooner or later.

Seeing Gu Chengguo's confidence, Gu Yiyi said, "Uncle, Professor Ji, I'm leaving now." With that, she exited the emergency room.

Everything depended on the whims of the Chu family. As long as the one at the top was even slightly displeased, their Qi family could collapse in an instant.

Soon, Gu Yao caught up to Shen Lanying, followed by Wang Yichen, and finally, Tong Yu and Xue Li appeared.

"This is Ye Xinghao. He is the savior of my parents and will be staying here for a few days. As for the matter of the fiancé, it was just a misunderstanding." Yan Qinqing stood up to arrange fresh flowers in an empty vase on the windowsill, her fingers brushing past Xiao Zexiao, her eyes filled with irritability and gloom.

Genji, already low on health, was taken down by two slashes. Zhiying raised his enormous dragon blade and looked up at his brother, Hanzo. That one glance spelled trouble; an arrow struck him squarely in the forehead, and Genji fell to the ground.

For the sake of that one yuan a day, Xie Jingwei was giving it his all. The family's fields were worked by Zhang Shanni and her sister-in-law. As for Father Xie, unless the production team had specific tasks, he could only tend to the fields sporadically.

"Hey, hey, remember your status. You must use honorifics when addressing Lord Roswaal. To be precise, this is the territory of the Mathers family. The Mathers have been stationed here for generations; we call this place the Sanctuary," Ram corrected him with dissatisfaction before explaining the origin of the Sanctuary.

Why was it said that they only guessed half of it right? It was because the people who initially went to find Ye Zhi were indeed targeting her, but the ones who followed were actually actors sent by Qi Yan.

These youths whistled, wearing flashy, bizarre outfits and sporting multi-colored hair. Their arms and necks were covered in tattoos, and some even had tattoos on their faces.

Earlier, when Xie Jinghong saw her brother-in-law arrive, she had sent the children to Xie Jinggang's house in the same city, which was why it had taken the couple some time to return.

They first went to the vegetable market, and after walking around, they finally found someone selling vegetable seedlings. Fortunately, the person had quite a few left. They bought some seedlings and then went to a shop that sold seeds to purchase some vegetable seeds.

Ye Tianxiao looked at Gong Xueyi and shook his head, saying that if Ji Ruyan wanted to be given away, he could allow it, but not Gong Xueyi.

On the side of the third group, the first to take the stage were two contestants at the early stage of the Soul Formation realm. One used sword techniques, and the other used fist techniques. Both styles were of high caliber, and the shockwaves slamming against the fist-thick, ink-blue barrier produced deafening roars and scattered sparks in every direction.
