Chapter 61: The Fish in the Cage of the Beautiful King 19

With a deadpan expression, Lu Ningshi offered his utmost sincere wishes for success.

Bubbling up inside, she thought: *You are seriously out of your mind!*

Chloe completely broke down mentally. She finally realized that she was just a foolish fish, completely unreliable.

"I suddenly remember I have some matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Realizing this strategy was a dead end, she decisively and cleanly gave up without wasting a single second.

Lu Ningshi did not stop her, only...

"I want to eat sweet and sour spare ribs. That potato stewed chicken from last time was also good, and I'd like some pork belly as well," Lin Jing made no effort to be polite.

"To hear such praise from your lips means you truly hold them in high regard," Vice Dean Pace gently pushed up his glasses.

Lina and everyone else were utterly astonished. Ultraman could speak Japanese? Or was the language of the universe actually Japanese?

"Heh, heh," Yuan Ye could only laugh to ease the awkwardness. *You two are openly showing affection right in front of me, and now I'm not even allowed to put up a resistance? Sigh, this is so hard.*

Ruan Qingmo wanted to say something, but Tang Rou directly dragged him away, giving him zero opportunity to speak.

This was crafted by the Monarch of Sloth. According to him, this specially forged alchemical silver needle, inscribed with his sacred sloth runes, could interfere with any sacred rune array below the King tier. Its capabilities even included disrupting maze entrances, passages, and sacred rune array formations—it was absolute artifact-grade gear for venturing out on trials.

Before leaving, Qiao Sisi did not forget to drop some harsh parting words. Actually, with Huo Chengze right here, she shouldn't have said those things, but seeing Lu Siyu's happy appearance, she simply couldn't hold it back.

She had thought life would continue on in peaceful tranquility, but she never expected that at a time like this, trouble would befall Siyu once again.

Along his journey to power, He Xiang had naturally knelt and groveled plenty of times, which was why, after coming to power, he especially loved to throw his weight around and abuse authority.

Even after experiencing such a major accident, Heiyu Mengxun had not forgotten about those expensive clothes. Jiang Chunyi nodded and accompanied her along.

The few members of the Monobe clan leaped out of the circle, raised their eyes to look, and saw that this eminent monk was dressed in a cloud-brocade kasaya and holding a nine-ringed Zen staff. Up close, his face was covered in wrinkles and blotchy old-age spots, with a five-wisp beard hanging beneath his jaw. Most peculiarly, this person had a pair of crimson-red pupils that sent a chill down anyone's spine at first glance.

Her poison was virtually unrivaled here, but she also possessed an innate ability—precognition.

"I'm unemployed, so from now on, I'm your exclusive model." Hua Fengming brazenly clung to her, looking entirely like she was going to freeload off her for good. Ever since that meal, Hua Fengming had been pestering her. Even though she didn't pay much attention to him, Hua Fengming always managed to crack Mother Yu up with laughter, and Father Yu also showered him with praise.

Ling Yu was knowledgeable and well-traveled; perhaps he had seen this pattern before. Even if he hadn't, it would be much easier for him to investigate than for her to do it herself.

Xue'er had originally intended to play matchmaker between the two of them, but upon hearing him say "give," Xue'er changed her mind.

"Heh... If you wouldn't come looking for me, I was planning to come over and take care of you!" Leng Yuelou had always suppressed her cultivation, masking her presence and playing the pig to eat the tiger. You become like the company you keep, and your habits are shaped by the people you live with.

This was humanity's challenge to the heavens and earth; this was a declaration of contending with the heavens, fighting the earth, and battling humanity. With this Immortal-Slaying Sword, he would split the thunderclouds apart and destroy the lightning.

Who could have known that all her previous routines and rhetoric would be completely seen through by Old Fox Ji's mother? No matter how she explained, it was to no avail.

Everyone held their breath in absolute suspense for Maple Leaf over this sudden turn of events, not daring to respire too deeply.

Who knew how it might wreak havoc within? What kind of perilous and treacherous dead zone it might turn this place into?

Bao Xin scratched her face. She truly felt that her conversation with Miss Zhang had nothing to do with Miss Zhang's delayed return, yet her father's pampering made her feel somewhat displeased.
